The Content of the Gospel and Motives(Romans 16:3~4)
Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus. They risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them.
Hymn #412 Far Away in the Depths of My Spirit(Unified Hymn 469)
You've already been trained in the Gospel. At this time, you need to keep an eye on what the obstacles are and what needs to be done.
1. The Time Schedule
Because you already possess the Gospel, you just need to enjoy the time schedule. You can accomplish that by having a quiet and peaceful time standing before God, by finding God's meaning in everything, and by holding onto the message and focusing. In doing so, you'll gain power; fundamental healing will occur; you'll enjoy "The Throne's Blessing"; and works that transcend time and space will arise. However, because you've lost hold of this time schedule, works aren't happening.
2. Greed for Great Revival
Many people want great revivals. As a result, without even realizing, they become greedy. This is especially true for those who don't enjoy their prayer time schedule. Your purpose isn't just revival. Instead, you must focus everything on helping those whom you meet to know and enjoy Christ. In doing so, those who've changed by meeting Christ will bring others. Consequently, dying fields will be visible, and winds of grace will blow throughout the church. Within this, thanksgiving regarding salvation will naturally emerge.
3. A Life of Being Deceived
If you don't have time to enjoy prayer but have other desires, you'll end up living a "life of being deceived" and continue telling lies without realizing it. How do you get deceived? A "deceiver" exists, (John 8:44) That being is none other than the devil. Because you've been deceived by the devil, you'll become the "one who is deceived" by Genesis 3, 6, and 11. As a result, you'll create "masterpieces of deception" and "religions that deceive." Even though you go to church, you won't receive answers, and it'll become increasingly difficult. Instead of saying that you haven't received any answers, you'll use the church as an excuse to have unbelief and blame others. However, a greater problem is the "church that deceives." Like the church of Pharisees and the medieval church that were deceived by Satan, they eventually lost hold of Christ and held onto something else. Within prayer, why don't you have personal forum regarding this answer. This is the best kind of forum.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, thank you for saving me. Within my life, help me set apart a time of peace to stand before You, a time of discernment, and a time of concentration every day. May I see the dying field and remain within the blessing of relaying Christ to everyone whom I meet and stand as the witness who saves people, the field, and churches that are being deceived. In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
