The Gospel that Blocks Curses and Disasters(Acts 8:4~8)
Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Christthere. When the crowds heard Philip and saw the miraculous signs he did, they all paid cIose eattention to what he said(5~6).
Hymn #499 Far, Far Away in Heathen Darkness Dwelling(Unified Hymn 277)
Many people ask how they should live their walk of faith. That question forms because they don’t know what they’ve already received. What you must be sure of is curses and disasters are broken down and bound in the name of Jesus Christ wherever you go. Hebrews 11 speaks of the heroes of faith. It says that faith is the substance of what you hope for and the evidence of what you do not see. Faith grows by taking root. As a result of unbelief taking root, incidents of murder and suicide increase. You must believe in Jesus Christ who has destroyed curses and disasters. Since the glory of the Lord has come upon you, He tells you to rise and shine. If you don’t believe in this fact, you can’t evangelize, and you’ll end up running Satan’s errands. There’s no other way to stop curses and disasters. All problems began when human beings left God through Satan’s temptation, and they continue even now. That’s why you must hold to the covenant of the Gospel that blocks disasters and curses. Churches that don’t know the Gospel of Only can’t overcome curses and disasters(Acts 11:1~18, Galatians 2:10~20, Matthew 12:26~30). In Solomon’s time, Israel was divided into the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah, and through Assyria’s invasion, the northern kingdom fell. At the time when Jesus was crucified and everything was legally cut off for those who believed in Him, Philip broke down the darkness, disasters, and curses of northern Israel.
1. Find God's Great Blessings When Hardships Come
Great persecution, hardships, and sufferings may come to you. Amidst this, you must find God’s blessings. Those who were scattered due to Stephen’s death and great persecution went around preaching the Gospel.
2. One Heart, Whole Heart, and Continuation are the Miracles that Change the World
The people of Samaria heard the Gospel Philip relayed, saw the signs, and listened to the Word with one heart. During that time demons came out with loud cries and those who were paralyzed and unable to walk were healed.
3. There Was Great Joy in that City
When the light of Christ shone on the field of Nobody, where no one could solve anything; the field of Nothing, where nothing could be solved; and the field of No Way, where there seemed to be no path at all, it was all changed into fields of Everybody, Everything, and Every Way.
When you pray, your prayer is imprinted on your brain, soul, and the Throne. That’s why prayer is everything.
