Those who refresh others are witnesses of the Spiritual Summit. People who have a consuming passion can do important works. You must surely possess the spiritual consuming passion to receive answers to prayers. You are God's temple which has received His Spirit. (1 Corinthians 2:12 & 3:16) It means that you're the Spiritual Summit. Through both Jochebed who knew the Gospel and began to pray, and her son Moses, Egypt and the world was transformed. In the Church at Corinth, which was going through a great test, people like Priscilla and Aquila were raised up and the works of receiving the greatest answers occurred. Among church members, Paul dispatched five very important people. Even if the church is tested or has problems, there's no need to feel discouraged because witnesses surely exist there. Even in the ages of Egypt and the wilderness; the ages of Philistia and idolatrous nations; and the age of captivity, witnesses of the Spiritual Summit existed. In the midst of problems, the Church at Corinth received a hundred-year answer; a thousand-year answer; and an eternal answer. You're a witness of the Spiritual Summit who'll go to save collapsed places and disaster zones. Those who possess the Spiritual Summit's mission have the assurance and answer to prayers, the fulfillment of God's Word, and the evidence of saving people. Then, what important characteristics did Priscilla and Aquila and the five people who were dispatched possess?

1. Witnesses Who Refreshed God
First, they knew why disasters came; the three courtyards; the covenant of the Mt. of Olives; and they held onto Jesus' last words (Acts 1:8) as their covenant.

2. Witnesses Who Refreshed the Church
Timothy and Apollos devoted themselves to the Lord's work. (1 Corinthians 16:10 & 12) As the first converts of Achaia, the household of Stephanas devoted themselves to the service of the saints, (1 Corinthians 16:15) and Fortunatus and Achaicus always supplied what was lacking. (1 Corinthians 16:17)

3. Witnesses Who Refreshed the Servants of the Lord, the Posterity, and the Future
Priscilla and Aquila attended Mark's upper room which was the time of receiving the greatest answers. In Corinth, they met the evangelist Paul and preached the baptism of the Holy Spirit to Apollos. In the field, they saved it by carrying out "The Regional Church Movement." (1 Corinthians 16:19) As Paul's co-workers, they became the main figures who risked their lives for Rome evangelization, (Romans 16:25-27)

Armed with the blessings of the Spiritual Summit, you must go out into the world and stand as witness of the Spiritual Summit. (1 Corinthians 16:13)

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, thank you calling me as the Spiritual Summit that the people of the world cannot become. May restoration take place. Through Your great power, help me save those who are dying; churches in Europe that are collapsing; churches that have become completely impoverished in the U.S. which is the most abundant nation is the world; and churches which have become disaster zones and are rapidly closing down in South Korea. For these works to arise, may all believers become the Spiritual Summit. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
