Presently, people are dead in spirit; (Ephesians 2:1) follow the one who holds the power of the kingdom of the air; (Ephesians 2:2) and are bound by Satan's twelve traps. However, they can be liberated only if they receive the accurate Word. That's why God's Word is given. When they have assurance in the Word, the eternal guarantee will emerge. For Peter who confessed that Jesus was the Christ, Jesus said that He would build His church on this rock, (Matthew 16:16~20) Paul said that nothing could "separate us from the love of Christ" (Romans 8:31-39) and also said that love was eternal. (Romans 16:25-27) By doing "24" through the answer of "1·3·8," the answer of "25" will come and become an eternal guarantee. When the Triune God and "The 9 Blessings of the Throne" come upon you, you'll save the age. Moreover, when this Word is imprinted in you, enjoyment will come. By enjoying this during worship, a spiritual world will be created and “scheduled prayer; continuous prayer; and concentrated prayer" will take place. From this point on, you can challenge toward "The Acceptance Movement; the Disciple Movement; the 70 Workers Movement"; the 70-workers' nations, and the "237·Healing·Summit."

1. Life, the Indwelling Holy Spirit, and the Guidance of the Holy Spirit
When the Word is correctly imprinted, the source of life becomes visible. However, because this life was lost in Genesis 3, (Genesis 3:1~10) people make every effort to regain it. (Religion, Good Deeds, Philosophy, Science, & Doctrines) Regardless, because they're caught in the law of sin and death, only the law of the Holy Spirit of life can liberate them. That's why if they accept Jesus, they'll gain life and the Holy Spirit will reside (John 14:16~17) within them as Immanuel (Matthew 1:23) and guide them. (John 14:26)

2. How Is Life Given?
It's received by faith through God's grace. Even that faith was given as a gift from God. (Ephesians 2:8) The content of faith is being born of the Spirit, (John 3:6) The basis of that faith is the living and enduring Word of God. (1 Peter 1:23)

3. Spiritual Growth
Those who are born again (John 3:3) must drink the milk of the Word to grow. By consistently drinking it, they'll grow to the point where they can eat solid food; (Hebrews 5:14) evidences will appear; and they'll become witnesses to the ends of the earth, (Acts 1:8)

In church, members mustn't be deceived by the words of people who make assertions; instead, within those situations, they just need to listen to God's voice. In addition, they can carry out the works of the church in relation to how much grace they've received. Furthermore, through prayer, they can take on the challenge regarding world evangelization.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, when I listen to Your Word, instead of listening to it from my perspective, help me listen from Your perspective. As the accurate Word becomes my imprints; roots; and nature, help me become spiritually mature and stand as a true witness of Christ. Knowing that even faith is a gift from You, help me to be grateful as I live a life that's led by the Holy Spirit. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
