The Guidance and Stream of the Word
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

What is the reason why people become discouraged in their walk of faith? Why are you the only one not receiving answers? You must examine yourself to see whether you have lost hold of the Word because of your self-centeredness, personal thoughts, and insistence. What must you restore in order to accurately receive God’s guidance?
1. Follow the Stream of Only Gospel
You must follow the stream or flow of the Gospel for the sake of salvation which is God’s goal. During the patriarchal age(Genesis 3:15), God gave the covenant through the family line of Abraham(Genesis 3, 6, 11). During the age of Exodus, God liberated the Israelites through Moses and his co-workers(Jethro, Rahab, Joshua, and Caleb, Exodus 3:18). During the age of captivity, God called the Remnants and church officers to bring restoration(Isaiah 7:14). When you know this flow, then you can confess “only Jesus Christ” in every field just like the Early Church did(Romans 1:16~17).
2. See the Flow of Fulfillment and the Flow of the Field
When you follow the flow of the Gospel, God’s covenant will be fulfilled. What was the reason for slavery(Joseph and Moses), war(Samuel and David), idolatry(Elijah and Elisha) captivity(Isaiah), colonization(Paul), and wandering?(Remnants)
When you realize the background and flow inside of the Word, you will begin to see the future that will be fulfilled. Whenever the Gospel was fulfilled, God looked for the main figure to lead the flow of the field. That was the reason why God called Remnants, parents of Remnants, and Remnant leaders. Are you truly receiving God’s guidance? Because you know that the Word of God is living and active(Hebrews 4:12) and is being fulfilled in your field(God’s Kingdom), you can truly give thanksgiving to the God who is with you(With), with us(Immanuel), and working for the good in everything(Oneness).
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may I follow Your Word and receive the power to change the flow of the field. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions] Q. Why Do You Fear?
The recurring promise in the Bible is, “Do not fear.”
Do not be anxious about anything.(Philippians 4:6)
Cast all your anxieties on Him.(1 Peter 5:7)
Earnestly look forward to those days when you come out of your incorrect imprints; when you become rooted in God’s covenant; and when you receive spiritual strength.
“...do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”(Philippians 4:6~7)
