Many people ask the question, "Why isn't anything going well for me?" They ask that because they live a life without Jesus Christ. To live a life with Christ, you must know about His public ministry and what He did after. During His public ministry, Jesus spoke of four aspects that must begin with the Gospel. In the Gospel of Matthew, He talked about "what needed to be changed." In the Gospel of Mark, He talked about "what needed to be thrown away." In the Gospel of Luke, He talked about "what needed to be found." Finally, in the Gospel of John, He talked about "what needed to be enjoyed." Judaism, which was orthodox Christianity, neither believed in nor sought to know Christ. You'll come to fully understand the spiritual world when you clearly know Christ, who has existed for long ages past, became incarnate; is working now in His name; and will come as the Lord of the Second Coming and the Lord of Judgment. Armed with confidence that Jesus died on the cross and resurrected according to the Bible, the members of the Early Church walked with Jesus.

1. The Preciousness of Salvation
God, who is the Word, took on flesh and came as the Light. For those who believe in these facts, they've been given the right to become children of God. (John 1:1-14) God prepared this salvation from long ages past, (Ephesians 1:3~11)

2. The Reason Why Failure Doesn't Exist If You Believe in and Walk with Jesus Christ
Christ described Himself as the love of God. God loves you so much that He sent .Christ to save you without any reasons. Those who saw Jesus testified that He was God. The evidences of that were the works that saved many people.

3. Walking with Christ
From the moment you have assurance in the Gospel, you'll begin to walk with Christ. By embracing the heart of Jesus (Philippians 2:5) and looking humbly at the cross, (Philippians 2:8) you're assured that future victory is guaranteed. (Philippians 2:9~11)

After Jesus completed His public ministry, He promised another power. He gave the key of the name of Christ and the answer of "3·9·3" and allowed the disciples to go on "The 7 Grand Journeys." The word that allowed them to overcome all walls and enter that blessing was "faith." The problem that you're facing now is the fulfillment of the promise to apply the Gospel and make you a witness.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, I give thanksgiving to You. May today be the day when I'm healed with the Spirit of the Lord. Please grant me new and unknown strength and help me begin, through Your works, the true Gospel movement even more strongly. Many believers have started with that which isn't the Gospel. Please help me become a witness who helps them. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
