The Mystery of the Three Feasts and the Start of the March
Numbers 10:33~36 │ So they set out from the mount of the Lord three days’ journey. And the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them three days’ journey, to seek out a resting place for them. And the cloud of the Lord was over them by day, whenever they set out from the camp. (33~34)

People usually say, “I have to do this,” “Because of that person, I’m facing many difficulties,” “If this problem didn’t exist, everything would work out,” and “If I can profit from this, I’ll truly be happy.” People believe that self-centered thoughts and making choices based on their own interests will bring success. Unknowingly, they’ve fallen in Satan’s trap and continue with their lives. However, at that time, it’s crucial for people to turn their thoughts toward God. How must they change?
1. When the Word Stops, You Must Stop and When the Word Proceeds, You Must Follow
People assume that problems will arise if their plans don’t work out. However, Joseph was different. He was falsely accused and imprisoned, but he didn’t pray to be released. Rather than praying to get rid of his problems, he held onto God’s Word. Joseph prayed to enjoy God’s power from where he was. Like Joseph, you just need to pray and follow the Word.
2. Enjoy the Kingdom of God
On every path, as you pray and follow the Word, God’s Kingdom is established wherever His Word is proclaimed. Prayer is discovering the “you whom God has made,” “your God-given things,” and the “works that God wants you to do.”
When you pray correctly, God’s Kingdom will be established. At this time, the forces of darkness lose strength; the blessing of the throne appears in the field; and you can enjoy God’s power that transcends time and space.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, thank you for giving me the background of Your Kingdom. As Your child, please help me to enjoy that background. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. What Is the Content of Your Prayer?
You must pray properly. Instead of asking, “God, why are you doing this?”
Change your question to “What does God desire?”
The correct prayer is relinquishing your thoughts.
Do you still think that your plans regarding profit and your thoughts concerning success are still the most important?
Starting today, why don’t you place your belief in God’s complete will and His unlimited power?
