Evangelism That Takes Place through Specialized Ministry

Acts 9:36-43 & 18:1-4 / Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks. (18:4)

Hymn #552 When the Morning Breaks Anew (Unified Hymn 358)

When you meet disciples, you must first tell them three points. First, it's a choice. Rather than choosing what works well, you have to help them choose "Nobody" that doesn't have anyone; "Nothing" that doesn't have anything; and absolute impossibility. Second, when the disciples have to make choices, if you help them pray just a little, they'll be able to see the aftereffects of churches that don't have the Gospel; other religious groups; and the three organizations. Aftereffects have emerged within the three organizations; from those who've fallen into religions; from that which has been taken away; from abandoned places; and from what's incorrect; however, nobody is able to enter those areas. These are the places where you must help them go. Third, you must help them distinguish between blind spots; disaster zones; and the golden fields. However, there's something that you must be cautious about. Instead of trying to heal people's spiritual problems, these suffering people must be completely changed. When missionaries came to Korea, they completely changed people's thoughts which changed the fate of this nation.

1. Blind Spots That Have Been Taken Away 100 Percent
Through the Nephilim movement, all culture and economy have been taken away by the three organizations that have gained strength. In the midst of that, churches aren't able to convey the mystery of being filled with the Holy Spirit very well.

2. Specialized Churches That Survive When They Know the Disaster Zones
The fates of a seller of leather goods, a fine silk trader, an owner of a castle, and a finance expert were changed. As a result, they became missionaries. Before that, they had thought of their jobs as a way of making a living. However, their eyes changed to the point where they saw their jobs as paths to world evangelization.

3. For Specialists, Everything Will Be Seen as Golden Fields
Each specialist has become a blind spot and a disaster zone, but those specialists are actually golden fields. You must inform them of that. Paul first saw what God had prepared in the fields. (Acts 13:1~4, 16:6~10, & 19:1~7) That's why there was no need to use humanism. Within those fields, there were works that no one else could do. As a result, all fates were turned upside down. (Acts 13:5~12, 16:16~18, & 19:8~20) With these evidences, Paul went to synagogues and had no other choice but to do "School Evangelization." (Acts 17:1, 18:4, & 19:8)

When that takes place, you'll become a witness. Even in the midst of what's incorrect, you'll become the witness who discovers "rightfulness"; a witness of "inevitability" who sees other things; and a witness of "absoluteness" who discovers God's will.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, during this new week, please grant me Your new grace. On this Sunday, may the works of Pentecost arise in all churches. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
