(Mark 1:15) And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. (Mark 13:10) And the gospel must first be published among all nations. ~ Lately, I've been pondering: What is the "gospel"? Why is the world becoming increasingly chaotic despite the increasing number of Christians? I often hear many different Christians praying, and often I wonder: Is this a prayer meeting? Or a denunciation meeting? Every time I hear those "cursing" evangelisms, my head starts to hurt! I think: What's the difference between those curses and Sun Wukong's golden hoop curses? Yet, many Christians love to use "curses" to preach the gospel! Even more Christians like to turn prayer meetings into meetings of criticism and struggle! Honestly, who can find peace and joy after hearing these so-called "gospels" and "prayers"?

The gospel is meant to build people up. If Gospel doesn't build people up, then it has no value as a "gospel"! The gospel is "good news"! Good news is meant to benefit people! I'd like to ask: Who benefits from "cursing" evangelism? Why do Christians pray? Many Christians make a serious mistake: "Prayer" is for people to hear, not for God! Christians love to pray long, repetitive, cumbersome, and critical prayers. Would God appreciate such prayers? Buddhists pray silently, while Christians pray aloud. Is there anything wrong with praying aloud? There's nothing wrong with praying aloud, but when you open your mouth and let out a barrage of criticism and judgment, that's the real mistake! Is criticism and judgment so great? Does it need to be spoken out loud to God? What's the purpose of loud criticism and judgment? To highlight one's own strengths and others' shortcomings! I particularly hate "critical and judgmental prayers." If our "prayer" causes others to stumble or to tell tales, I'd rather not pray at all! Prayer is our petition to God, hoping that He will change our difficult circumstances! Prayer is not about complaining to God, nor is it about using criticism and judgment to highlight one's own excellence!!

Evangelism is about building up lives! We must preach the "good news" to all nations before the end will come. If we haven't preached the gospel to all nations, how can the end come? We see many missionaries going to China and Muslim countries to preach the gospel. I want to ask, has the "gospel" really reached China? I can tell you clearly that the "gospel" has not reached China at all! It hasn't even reached Flushing! We must understand that a "cursing gospel" is a "curse," not the "gospel"! The true gospel is about building up people! How beautiful are the footsteps of those who "preach the gospel"? Those who "preach the gospel" will inevitably attract people! The "gospel" will never be resisted, but "curses" will definitely resent and disgust people! Many churches don't "equip their congregants." Their congregants are just ordinary believers. "Believers" cannot preach the gospel! Only "disciples" can preach the gospel! Did Jesus send disciples to preach the gospel? The disciples Jesus sent to preach the gospel were all equipped by Jesus! We all know that we are now in the "end times," but how long will they last? It could be another 2,000 years! The apostles of the early church longed for the Lord Jesus' return, but they died and Jesus still hasn't returned. Why? Is it true that there is no God? No! We know that this world absolutely has a righteous Creator. There is only one reason the end times haven't arrived: the gospel hasn't been preached to all nations! It's been nearly 2,000 years since the early church, but how many truly understand the "gospel"? How many have truly received the "good news"? Therefore, there's no need to doubt whether God exists; He definitely exists! The real question is: Have we preached the "gospel" to "all nations"? Some still doubt the effectiveness of prayer, but I never doubt it, because I know our God hears prayer! Why can't prayer move God's hand? Because "prayer is not accepted"! God will definitely not answer "unacceptable prayer"! If our prayers are merely criticisms and judgments, why would God hear our prayers? If God hears every critical and judgmental prayer, who will He ultimately judge? God must be incredibly busy! Everyone is criticizing and judging a bunch of people, and we might all be the targets of criticism and judgment! Therefore, God will absolutely not hear our "critical and judgmental prayers!"!

If we want the end times to arrive quickly, we must "preach the gospel to all nations." We absolutely cannot preach a "gospel of curses," which is completely ineffective! If we want God to hear our prayers, we must pray in a way that He understands! If our prayers are simply addressed to "men," God will not listen to "men's words"! How could God listen to men and be manipulated by men? We must understand that "believers" must be equipped to become "disciples"! Many churches fail to equip their congregants, and many ignorant pastors simply don't understand the difference between "believers" and "disciples"! If pastors don't understand the difference between "believers" and "disciples," how can they equip "believers to become disciples"? Many churches and pastors believe that simply being baptized as a Christian allows them to "preach the gospel." Christians can continue to condone this "cursing gospel" and "critical and judgmental prayers." If so, we will never wait for the Lord Jesus to come, and we will simply live in the suffering of the last days! A "cursing gospel" is a curse; the "gospel" cannot be preached to all nations! "Criticizing and judgmental prayers" are for humans to hear. God cannot be controlled by humans, and God will not listen to "critical and judgmental prayers"! The Lord Jesus's failure to come is not because He is lying, but because the "gospel" has not yet been preached to all nations. Therefore, it is impossible for Him to come! Unanswered prayers and unanswered answers to God are not because God does not exist, but because we are praying the wrong way and communicating with God the wrong way. It is definitely not because God does not exist! Therefore, Christians should no longer think that "just being baptized is enough to preach the gospel." Jesus needed to equip His disciples before sending them out. Who is more powerful than Jesus? Why did you not need to equip your disciples? It is not that God will hear and answer just by opening your prayers. Prayer must be learned! Equipping is what Christianity lacks the most!!
