Of course, it has to be the place where God’s guidance was. The reason for that was to do healing ministry. I believe that is a good thing. I had the heart to help him, but at the same time, I thought he was perhaps thinking too lightly. If you look in the Bible, there is this “deep healing”. They have in-depth healing. If you have in-depth healing, you can do evangelism movement anywhere. This movement is something that the government cannot stop.
Think about it. if you do in-depth healing, who can stop this? If you heal the crippled, who can stop this? They were able to go to Samaria where the Jewish people could not go to.
They said to go to the Macedonia, so they did. They used what they already have. The door was locked. That itself is door. There is a field that does not work, that is your field. We keep on thinking about elsewhere. If you avoid the field that does not work, there is no guarantee that would work. That is the prayer. You look at the field that does not work, pray.
Don’t think a lot about it, pray a lot of about it. If you think a lot, naturally, you would end up becoming self-centered. Without you realizing, you become self-centered. Then you would start thinking about what others are thinking. This is called false motive. Other people fall into trial. Why is that? Because you think too much. You have to pray a lot.
People have to think a lot for those who did not receive salvation. We say, “you thoughtless person”, “why don’t you think about it?”. These words sound right, but these are non-believer’s words. If you have the assurance that you did not receive salvation, do not pray.
The Holy Spirit is with you. If you have the assurance that you did not receive salvation, you have to make preparation to go to hell. But when you are sure that you received salvation, the Holy Spirit is with you. Then you’ve gone to pray a lot, your powerlessness does not matter because when you pray the Holy Spirit works on you. The Holy Spirit is with you if you pray. Your powerlessness does not matter. Without praying, your powerlessness is revealed. This is very important.
The door that closed, is the actual real door. I wanted to study abroad, but the doors closed. That is the door. I’m not saying studying abroad is wrong but for me, it wasn’t right. I need to go into the field. If I had not been careful, I would have totally missed this. Acts 16:6-10 You have what you have.
Acts 16:11, they were looking for a place of prayer. From there, he met Lydia. It’s exactly the way it is. Really, do this intensely. You have to do this in depth. You look at people who look at God’s words, but cause issues at the church. These people did not look at the words in-depth. They looked at it in a skewed way.
This way, complete healing arose. 13:5 – 12, healing arose. As one demon-possessed woman was healed, immediately the entire town changed. This is what took place in Macedonia. Acts19:20, the Word movement and healing began to arise. It comes from this point on. There are a few things that no one could do comes. This is something that God is doing. Things no-one else can do comes. This is what is called only, uniqueness, and recreation. Because of this, they went to prison, but works took place. This is what God is doing. The work of “Only” worked. Did they evangelize? No, the jailor came to them and asked. He came to his feet and asked, how to receive salvation. They did not receive salvation.
“Believe in your household, you and your household will be saved”. That renowned verse comes from here. God really works. People really came and told you they want to receive salvation. Once at the field, this one person accepted the Christ. He kept coming back. Then he kept asking me to come with him and visit this home and that. He kept on taking me. The time was all spent here. The doors kept opening. I’m not that diligent person. But the doors kept opening. This returned shaman, she was taking me everywhere. So look at this. The jailors all had meeting and they repented. One day they found out that Paul was a Roman citizen. They called Paul and apologized to him. What I say about don’t use humanism is that if you show citizenship paper, things would not have worked out. The jailors discovered this at the end.
The power of Roman citizen is that jailors cannot take the person without a warrant. For Roman citizens, even if you are given a sentence, you can request to stay at a place you want. Acts28:30-32, that’s how powerful Paul was. He was sentenced two years. All the disciples came here. By law, the Roman law had to protect him. This is how important the Roman citizenship was. There are different types of citizenship: naturalized citizenship, the government awarded citizenship, and citizenship awarded by the Emperor. The Roman emperor gave him directly. There is something they just honor them with. That extent, Paul was powerful, But Paul gave up everything and said “only Jesus”.
That is why this healing ministry has to become specialized. But this has to be established as a church. It is not a simple healing ministry. It has to be gospelized. Honestly, anyone can do it; this is becoming generalized. This evangelism movement is what rose in Early Church.
I want you to consider this carefully. If you do it on your own, it is difficult, but if God does it, it is not difficult. Evangelism movement that saves Jeju island is the healing ministry. This is the same anywhere you go, especially for Jeju island. With the Word, correctly start the movement. I pray that this becomes true opportunity for you.
Let us pray. We give thanks to God. May be this be the day when we hear your voice. May be this be the day we see your words. May be this be the day we see your work. In Jesus Christ name we pray. Amen.
