After Receiving the Gospel
Matthew 17:1~9 He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.”(5)

Man who was deceived by Satan’s schemes, fell into Original Sin, and as result, could not receive salvation on his own. He does not possess any conditions for salvation, so that is the reason why God sent Christ. There is nothing that can interrupt this grace. Through Christ, you were delivered from darkness, and have become a child of God who can never fail. Now, it is important to correctly see your life after receiving the Gospel. In order to truly receive answers, you must attentively listen to God’s Word. What must you who possess the Gospel remember?
1. The Mt. of Olives
Jesus called His disciples to the Mt. of Olives and testified that He was the resurrected Christ. Jesus knew that the Israel nation would face destruction, so He gave His disciples a mission concerning God’s Kingdom. Jesus promised His disciples that they would receive power, and through the works of the Holy Spirit, He would raise them as witnesses wherever they went. If you hold onto the covenant of the Mt. of Olives and pray, God’s Kingdom will come upon your fields.
2. In Order to Give the Blessing of the True Church
Because you do not possess any power, God has given you the Gospel in order to give you the blessing of the true church. Also God has told you not to worry because He has already prepared the works of the Holy Spirit like the wind and fire from Acts 2. Through your life, which possesses the answer of the day of Pentecost, God will grant you prepared encounters of Acts 3 and will restore the blessing of the true church. Furthermore, God will send you into the fields of Acts 8 where nobody else has gone before in order to save those fields.
3. World Evangelization
God has called you to give you the blessing of world evangelization, and has given you the strength to achieve it. That’s why you don’t have to be afraid of persecutions and problems. You have also received the blessings of the Antioch Church from Acts 11, have been called as the main figure who will save many souls from idol worship, divination, and demon culture found in Acts 13, 16, and 19, and have received the mission to save the Rome of this age.(Acts 19:21, 23:11, and 27:24) Firmly grab hold of these blessings and wait through prayer.
[Prayer of the Evangelist] Dear God, I will hold onto the covenant of the Mt. of Olives and enjoy the blessing of the true church. I will restore my God-given strength that You have prepared for me, and without shaking, stand in the line of world evangelization.
