People do various of types of work. However, when serious problems arise, those works don't help at all. At this time, you need to initially confirm three aspects. First, you shouldn't feel discouraged because your inner self is renewed every day. Second, it's stated that although you'll experience tribulation for a while, God will achieve an extremely great and eternal glory through you. Third, what you should pay attention to isn't visible. Through the 0.1 percent of people who knew spiritual mysteries, works arose. For Paul, he had three important meetings. They included his meeting with Ananias and Barnabas, with Priscilla and Aquila, and with the disciples of Macedonia. What kind of people were they?
1. The First Meeting with the Inner Man of the 0.1 Percent
Without even being in attendance, there were aspects that Paul realized through Ananias and Barnabas. They were Calvary, the Mt. of Olives, the covenant of Mark's upper room, the 15 blessings of the throne, the "7 Missions," and "The 7 Grand Journeys" that no one could stop.
2. The Second Meeting with the Inner Man of the 0.1 Percent
Priscilla and Aquila were present in the field of Mark's upper room. They had lived in Rome and were kicked out, but they had a blessing of meeting with Paul. Along with Paul, they went into synagogues. That was the beginning of saving the Church at Corinth. Afterward, Rome evangelization occurred.
3. The Third Meeting with the Inner Man of the 0.1 Percent
Paul met the disciples of Macedonia. It may have seemed like he had only met one person, Lydia; however, a global answer came. Paul healed a demon-possessed man, and even greater works occurred when he was imprisoned. Furthermore, through the people whom he met in Thessalonica, where he suffered the most, a model church was established which led to Rome evangelization. Ultimately, through those meetings which had spiritual communication, tremendous answers came.
If spiritual people exist in the field, spiritual victory will occur; darkness will be bound; and God's Kingdom will be established. Wherever the place may be, a spiritual Rome exists which acts as the center of both darkness and answers. In the Bible, the church that helped the most in evangelizing this place was the Church at Corinth. From today, you just need to pray so that you can become a person like that.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, wherever each of my family members go today, may darkness collapse. Wherever the members of Darakbang go today, may they save the places that have collapsed. Wherever they go, may darkness; legalism; judgments; fights; and disputes be bound. May the power of "only Gospel" appear so that the works of saving people will arise. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
