God intends for his supremacy in world evangelization to be known by ordaining that it be accomplished,

the goals of world evangelization be accomplished only through prayer.

Now I have a text I want to use to make that plain in a fresh way for me because I didn't see it until about five weeks ago.

But before I read you the text, which is from revelation, I want to take a few texts just to make
