That Which Must Be Done(Acts 8:4~8)
With shrieks, evil spirits came out of many, and many paralytics and cripples were healed(7).
Hymn #499 Far, Far Away in Heathen Darkness Dwelling(Unified Hymn 277)
Why must healing welfare be carried out? Including his own family and Potiphar's household, Joseph saw that the whole world was diseased. That's why he did the ministry of healing welfare. Egypt continued to wage war. They saw Israel as a potential enemy and killed its infants. At that time, Jochebed did that which had to be done. When Israel was at war, Hannah; Jesse; Samuel; and David emerged. During the age of idolatry(1 Kings 18:1~15), Obadiah hid 100 prophets. During the age of captivity, Daniel resolved(Daniel 1:8~9). During the age of colonization, Jesus gave the "covenant of 1·3·8." God utilized those who saw that which had to be done in the future(Acts 19:8~20, 19:21, 23:11, & 27:24). By finding that which must be done, you'll receive the answer of a new age. Then, what must you absolutely do?
1. National Problems & Personal Problems
The national and individual problems of people from other countries must be resolved. In particular, for Remnants and TCKs, there are parts that need to be healed and parts that must be made into the Summit. Samaria fell to Assyria in BC 722, and those who possessed the Gospel healed those scars. The hidden scars of the past must be resolved inside of Christ.
2. Healing Diseases
After Christ is confirmed, the healing of diseases will arise. Philip focused on those who were paralyzed and demon-possessed. When these people listened to the Word wholeheartedly, works took place.
3. Summit Healing
Important people don't know they matter and are lost in their past. That's why you must teach them about the three kingdoms(The Kingdom of the World, Kingdom of Satan, and God's Kingdom). You must help them let Genesis 1:27, 2:7, and 2:18 come into them, their souls, and their lives. Only then will they become the Spiritual Summit, Skills Summit, and Cultural Summit.
For those reasons, you must create three spiritual rhythms. You must ride the rhythm of prayer taking place, seeing the stream of the Word, and standing as a witness. These are "The 3 Todays."
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, through today's worship, thank you for giving me the opportunity to save the most important Remnants and TCKs. Help me establish my first, last, and eternal opportunity. During today's worship, may it be a deep time when I gain answers and a time of healing to obtain strength. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
