In this age of church crises when churches are permanently closing their doors, the age of the Nephilim embodied by the three organizations is gradually rising. Furthermore, it is the age of religious confusion when people cannot distinguish between religion and the Gospel. The main cause stems from being self-centered, material-centered, and success-centered. (Genesis 3, 6, and 11) As a result, unavoidable spiritual problems will come and the age of mental diseases and addictions will inevitably follow. At this time, how should you prepare the evangelist’s vessel?

1. The Reason for Evangelism
Intellectuals like Nicodemus weren’t able to hear the Gospel. (John 3:1~16) Those who are separated from God are trapped in the six states of the unbeliever. Someday, problems will come. However, there is only one answer. They can be saved through “only Christ.” If you get rid of your ulterior motives, the paths that God desires will open.

2. The Evangelist and the Method Utilized by God
God uses “those who are with Him, those who know what belongs to Him, and those who know His field.” God’s method among all methods is for you to hold onto Christ, His Kingdom, the covenant of “only Holy Spirit,” (Acts 1:1, 3, and 8) and to discover your lifelong answer. Then, the answer of “24 hours” when prayer takes place continuously and the works of “25 hours” that nobody can block will emerge.

When the disciples faced persecution, they clearly possessed the Gospel; however, after Rome was evangelized, they faced problems once again. This means that they lost hold of the absolute essence of the Gospel. Among the answers you have received, you must humbly grab hold of the essence of the covenant.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may I hold onto the absolute essence of the Gospel, get rid of ulterior motives, and prepare my evangelist’s vessel to save the age. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. What Happens When You Discard Motives?

While doing ministry in Seoul, motives began to form inside me.
“God, in Seoul, before I speak in front of other denominations, don’t I need a church building and a congregation?” I thought about that very seriously, but quickly repented.
“God, why must I act like that? I need a church from where I can relay the Gospel, but not a church to show off.”
After praying in this manner, God opened doors of answers.
If you abandon your motives, you will receive God’s guidance; see the path that He wants; and His works will arise.

“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20)
