The Field Missionary Who Changes the Roots

Although it’s essential to treat problems or symptoms that have been disclosed, it’s more vital to revive the essence or fundamentals. Those who have the spiritual mystery of communicating with God don’t have lives of failure despite unresolved difficult situations or lingering unfathomable pain. On the contrary, God is preparing even greater answers. How can your fundamentals be revived?

1. The Prayer to Enjoy the Gospel
When you enjoy Jesus Christ, the only solution in life, your soul will gain strength and become revived. No matter how much you may have, your life that is apart from God is still lacking and empty. Despite living in the manner that you want, you won’t be able to shake your anxiety and depression. That’s why each day, you need to meet the true Prophet who is the only way to meet God, the true Priest who solves all the difficulties and scars that come from leaving Him, and the true King who overcomes the forces of darkness that drive people to destruction. When Jesus, who said that everything was finished on the cross, becomes the Lord of your life, you can enjoy God’s power as your own.

2. Missionaries Who Change the Field
The background of the heavenly throne is guaranteed for God’s children. Furthermore, God who transcends time and space is always with them and guides them. Wherever the Gospel is testified within the 237 nations, God protects His children with “eyes like a flame of fire” and opens the doors of evangelism. He wants His children to stand as witnesses in the field that is rooted by both their standards and the world’s which aren’t the Gospel. Ultimately, God wants them to stand as witnesses before this age of disasters and the posterity.
Through that one person who interprets everything through the Gospel and communicates with God throughout the day, God will give him or her the answers that will change the home, church, and field.

Dear God, I believe that the Gospel is the only way to save myself, the field, and the posterity. Please raise me as a missionary who will change this world and age that are spiritually rooted incorrectly. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

* What Kind of Person Are You?

There’s an old saying that if you truly want know a person, you have to see how they are during the four seasons. However, that doesn't necessarily mean a physical passage of time.

Perhaps in a year or so, you’ll face several moments of choice, but at those times, you’ll be able to see the kind of decisions that you’ll make. You can measure a person to some extent by looking at their attitudes toward situations that cause happiness, sadness, anger, or pain. It’s easy to keep your composure and pretend to be trustworthy in normal and easy situations. However, when big problems or unwanted events occur, when conflicts arise or when you find yourself in situations where you’re misunderstood, the words from your mouth and your state of mind may unknowingly be the content that have taken root in you.

It’s okay even if there’s something bad inside your core. All you need to do is to confirm and confess that your life is nothing without Jesus Christ.
