What Must You Always Look at and Accept?
Acts 1:1, 3, and 8 / After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. (3)

The peop from Acts 1:14 directly received a mission from Christ. Afterward, they came down from the Mt. of Olives and went to Mark's upper room.(Acts 1:1~14) Therefore, just like them, you must always look at and accept Acts 1:1(Christ), 3 (God's Kingdom), and 8.(Only Holy Spirit)
1. What Must You Know First? - Those Whom You Meet and Your State
Even if people don't believe in any religion, they're still in the same state as religion. Religion is being "centered on me"; "discovering myself"; becoming like Buddha; and becoming like God. All people are trapped in these states. The bigger problem is that even Christians are like this. As such, they're Satan's masterpieces that have fallen into Genesis 3, 6, and 11. In order to come out, you must constantly change your imprints, roots, and nature. That was why Jesus had concentration on the Mt. of Olives for forty days. Likewise, what you see and experience are everything. When you don't make your conclusion through Christ, you'll have no choice but to continuously experience what's incorrect.
2. The State in Which You Aren't Needed Is the Best State
Saying that "you don't exist" doesn't mean that you've vanished and are no longer alive. It refers to the state where your opinions aren't needed because if God is with you, then nothing else is required. Clearly, God is with you, and He's fulfilling His plan through everything.(WITH, Immanuel, and Oneness) Although that isn't taking place for you, the 7 Remnants; the witnesses of Hebrews 11; and Paul knew that.
3. You Must Have a Time of Concentration Regarding the Mt. of Olives
Therefore, at the Mt. of Olives, Jesus and His disciples always had a time of concentration toward Acts 1:1, 3, and 8. In Acts 1:1, 3, and 8, the "5 Powers" emerge from the Triune God. Those are what you must look at, accept, and enjoy. From here, the mystery of prayer comes out. Moreover, Jesus made His disciples have concentration regarding "the works pertaining to God's Kingdom" for forty days. At that time, "me" was unnecessary. For you, there's a need to have concentration toward one word every day. In doing so, great works will arise, your imprints; roots; and nature will change, and the mystery of healing will emerge. The greatest healing of all healings is having the conviction regarding God's Word and its works. If God's Kingdom works, then change will take place in you, and healing will automatically occur.
Dear God, help me to look at and accept "only Christ, "only Your Kingdom," and "only Holy Spirit." Every day, through the time of concentration of the Mt. of Olives, may I be in the state where I am unnecessary. Please let the works of Your Kingdom be fulfilled. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
