There's a key aspect that you must absolutely have and teach. It's the actual point of prayer. The most important time is when you wake up in the morning and open your eyes. While having the most tranquil and peaceful time, you must enjoy the throne and the power of the universe. (The Platform of Scheduled Prayer) Moreover, it's giving meaning to every movement during the day. You must hold onto God's plan until it causes you to have deep emotions now. (The Watchtower of Continuous Prayer) At night, when you organize everything that happened during the day, you must do "concentrated prayer" that completely changes you to the point where you can focus on a special task or prayer topic. (The Antenna of Concentrated Prayer) Jesus personally gathered His disciples and concentrated with them for forty days on the Mt. of Olives. As a result, works arose that turned the world upside down. (Acts 1:3)

1. Original Man (Genesis 1:27 & 28)
Because original man was created in God's image, he can truly be happy when he's with God. (Genesis 1:27) If you restore God's image, you'll enjoy everything. (Genesis 1:28)

2. The Fundamental Problem and Six States of Man Who's Left God
However, Satan has manipulated "me" and has destroyed people. (Genesis 3:4-5) They've been completely seized by Satan because of "my things." (Genesis 6:4-5) Because they've tried to display themselves without God, they've failed miserably. (Genesis 11:1~8) As a result, they were placed under the six states of being separated from God. The problem is that even God's children have fallen for these ruses. That's why God has given the covenants of Genesis 3:15, 6:14, and 12:1~3.

3. The Only Way
When you were still a sinner, God sent Christ and opened the way. You just have to believe in that fact. By doing so, your spiritual family registry will change, (John 5:24) and you'll be given the status and authority of being a child of God. (John 1:12) When you believe and confess with your mouth, the fruit of salvation and answers will arise. (Romans 10:9-10) You must receive this salvation now.

The Triune God dwells in those who are saved (1 Corinthians 3:16) and guides them. (John 14:16) He fills them with the Holy Spirit and gives them strength. (Acts 1:8)

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, in the morning, help me enjoy the powers of the throne and the universe. Within all movements, help me discover Your meanings and plans. At night, through "concentrated prayer," help me find answers. May this mystery of prayer be actually set in me so that I can stand as a witness. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
