God’s True Plans in a Different Place(Acts 10:1~6)
Now send men to Joppa to bring back a man named Simon who is called Peter. He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.“ (5-6)
Hymn #432 With Christ as My Pilot(Unified Hymn 462)
When people face difficulties, crises, or failure in their walk of faith, most become discouraged, hide, or give up. Some even choose to commit suicide. However, you must look for God’s plan that lies elsewhere, and finding it is prayer. God has prepared something better, something beyond what you can imagine, something great. There were people who discovered this and they include the 7 Remnants, the people of Hebrews 11, and John Bunyan. The Early Church also faced persecution and suffering yet overcame in the end. If you don’t find God’s plan, you'll remain trapped in scars and hardships. You shouldn’t lose heart or act with misguided courage but instead find the answer within God’s covenant. That’s why you worship and pray. Then where is God’s plan found?
1. The Place Where the Original Covenant Was Restored- The House of Simon the Tanner
God’splan is first found in restoring the original covenant. It’s entering into Christ, the core of the Gospel(Genesis 3:15, Genesis 6:14, Exodus 3:18). Immanuel is the greatest and most necessary answer. It’s also true success(Isaiah 7:14). You must restore the glory that was given to Abraham and stand as a witness as you establish the Bartizan of the mystery.
2. The Place Where What Christ has Given is Restored
All of God’s Will is within the place where the things that Christ has given is restored. The Platform(Bartizan) and Watchtower (Journey) of the Throne are formed, and the 300% answers of the Throne(Guideposts) take place for those who are within the mystery of the Gospel originally given by God.
3. The Plan that Saves the Age
God’s plan is within the work of saving the age. It seemed like persecution and suffering, but God’s plan was actually with Cornelius the Roman. It’s because the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes were in Rome.
God promised the 10 mysteries to the people and churches that share the Gospel. Just as Job found answers in the midst of suffering, the works will begin when you discover God’s absolute plan. You must find that within worship.

[Gospel Memory Verse] Isaiah 7:14.
[Bible Reading] Isaiah 44:1~28.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may today be a day I see Your hidden plan. Help me see that Your plan wasn't at the place the Jewish people were concerned of but rather was at the place of saving others. Help me see the spiritual Rome and the spiritual change of the age. Let today be the day I see Your special plan that lies within the very hardships I face. May today be the day the problems of my family line change into blessings. May my powerlessness be changed to Your power. May the illnesses I have lead me to the path of my commission. May today be the day my life starts anew. In Jesus Christ’s name, I pray. Amen.
