Conquering in Advance - That Which Must Be Done

Acts 13:2-3 / While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off.

Hymn #191 I'm Rejoicing Night and Day (Unified Hymn 427)

To conquer in advance, you must do the prayer of "3•9•3." Along with the prayer of "3•9•3," there are some things that must be done every day. That is, you must "do works to help others," "read biographies about great individuals,” and “listen to messages." Listening to messages creates an important spiritual state. In addition, through "learning," (review and preview) you must acquire fundamental skills. At this time, as you look at the discovery of the future, you must complete today's "share." Finally, before giving worship, you must "check today's Bible verses."

1. Asia Which Was Conquered in Advance
Before going to Asia, Paul focused on receiving the guidance of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 13:1~4) If you start all works in this manner, you'll gain answers before you even go. At that time, God opened the door for Paul's team to start with spiritual victory. (Acts 13:5~12) When the door was blocked, a turning point was given, (Acts 16:6-10)

2. Philippi Which Was Conquered in Advance
Even in Philippi, Paul looked for a place to pray first. (Acts 16:11) At that time, the Lord opened Lydia's heart and spiritual healing took place. (Acts 16:14 & 16~18) Later, when Paul was imprisoned for healing a demon-possessed slave girl, a miracle arose, (Acts 16:19~40)

3. Thessalonica Which Was Conquered in Advance
Here, Paul's team testified of the "imperativeness of Christ." The Church at Thessalonica, which realized this Gospel, possessed faith; a different color of the Gospel; (1 Thessalonians 1:3) the Holy Spirit; power; and great conviction. (1 Thessalonians 1:5)

4. Corinth Which Was Conquered in Advance
Priscilla, Aquila, and Paul met in Corinth then went to the synagogue where Remnants were. (Acts 2:10, 9:10, & 18:4) Later, Paul met Apollos and gave him an answer. (Acts 18:24-28)

5. Ephesus Which Was Conquered in Advance
Even in Ephesus, Paul received grace and answers first. (Acts 19:1~7) Afterward, the works of God's Kingdom were testified in the synagogue, and disciples were separately raised in the lecture hall. In the end, the future was seen. (Acts 19:21, 23:11, & 27:24)

Remnants must quickly see the "9 Streams." Even though they give respect to the adult generation, they mustn't follow them. Furthermore, Remnants need to prepare their vessels, and above all, they must be happy with God.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, please grant Remnants Your grace that'll really save the world. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
