The subsoncious mind of a person is the concern, desire, reliance and perspective of a person. The spiritual state of this is whether the Word of God comes in and takes control 24 hours in all occasions. World evangelism does not happen by hardwork, but through the unlimited Holy Spirit inworking of the subconsious mind.

We have to start praying away from the wrong focus of gaining strength, human power, prosperity and authority. But we pray towards the Spirit of sonship honored with Emmanuel promise, where heavenly belonging and the will of God presides. Do not stop until you meditate and get real answers from the word.

Pray until you see that real evidences happening in your life - joy, brethren-living joy, becoming ministers of the word, disciples being raised, and world evangelism happening.

f we discover the hidden disblief in our subconscious mind that subtly causes lukewarmness in the spirit, through godly sorrow, you will restore spiritual fervor.

There are a few reasons why people remain lukewarm. But at the place where you are lukewarm, you need to hear God speak. Once you see the true love of God, you will then have true transformation by living for the kingdom.

We must not look down on those who are lukewarm. God is more zealous in restoring them. Love them and give timely correction. Influence them with your spiritual fervor.

To overcome your feelings but rely on the truth, the basic question you have to ask yourself is: "Do you want the Lord?" Only when you turn to the Word of God, which is the only truth and will of God can your heart be changed. Then you will be able to enjoy a new living, so that real good works happen.

Regeneration is the key towards having a life that can change from the heart of a slave to the heart of a son. Enter through the narrow gate and walk the narrow path to go back to the only Word of God. It is all about Christ life and Christ living. Believe in His promise, and carefully obey. Take joy in the obedience not the outcome. Cultivate the spiritual know-hows so that you may be Holy Spirit filled.

Once your heart changes, teach and share with authority. Only Jesus gives the True Spirit of the Word. There is a difference between being convicted of sins and being convicted by God's love. The latter is the work of the Holy Spirit that will not go back.

May you only rely on Christ, Holy Spirit, and may your life happen only for Evangelism.
