Jonah faced a great crisis when he was inside the stomach of a fish. Regardless of hardships like that, Remnants must know three points. First of all, adults have fallen into misconceptions while holding onto what's wrong and having incorrect thoughts. Second, in order for a new beginning to happen, there are times when God places you in the midst of hardships. Third, if Remnants realize those facts, they'll receive answers. Because you're a child of God, you must begin by possessing three aspects. First of all, prayer is possessing and relaying the Triune God and the "5 Powers" that have come upon you. At that time, the "9 Blessings of the Throne" will be set. Moreover, the "3 Ages" will be fulfilled in the church, and real talents will emerge. By God's grace, you've been given the right to pray. Moreover, your sufferings will become the challenges that you must take on. In the end, God will answer your prayers.

1. Prayer Is Science
Within the field of science, there are both natural science and cognitive science. However, an even more important science exists which is spiritual science. This science is the meeting of the Triune God, the throne, and your soul. So, you must unconditionally have "Remnant Time" to enjoy them.

2. There Is a Condition to Receive Answers
First is the "repentance prayer."(Jonah 2:3) When you face hardships, pray, "God, why have You given these difficulties?" In doing so, your eyes will be opened. Even if you've made mistakes, you'll realize what they are and assurance will come. Second is the "covenantal prayer."(Jonah 2:4, 7, and 9) Jonah, as he looked at the Lord's temple, prayed while holding onto the covenant. Third is the "prayer of faith."(Jonah 2:2, 5, and 7) If you look in Jonah 2:6, he didn't say, "Please bring my life up from the pit"; instead, he gave a confession of faith by saying, "You brought my life up from the pit."

3. If You Know Prayer, You'll Gain the Power to Change the Future
By knowing what prayer is, the "3��9��3 Blessings" will become your "platform" and a "watchtower " that saves the world and a spiritual antenna that communicates between the entire world and God. During your Remnant years, important masterpieces must be made. In fact, writing down memos in your Prayer Journal are the greatest masterpieces.

Now, as soon as you open your eyes in the morning, pray regarding that comes to mind. Whenever you meet people or study, pray regarding what you see. And when you're alone at night, utilize the Word and organize everything that happened throughout the day.

Dear God, thank you for blessing Remnants. Please help me not to be deceived by what's incorrect. In order to do that, guide me to have "Remnant Time" to enjoy You, the Trinity, the blessing of the throne, and the "3 Ages." In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
