4. Prayer Vigil

1) Night Has A Strong Mysterious Quality

Night, the deep night, has a strong mysterious quality. Therefore, you feel more grace in a nighttime revival than in a daytime revival. The reason is that at daytime all our senses are dispersed. In other words, sight, hearing and all other senses through which we can perceive, are easily dispersed. However, at nighttime, they are not like that and on the contrary become focused. At nighttime, all things make me more salient by surrounding me and in such a realm I come to stand naturally. For that reason, at nighttime, it is easier to evoke the work of grace together with God. God can more easily work. Therefore, if you talk with the members in the field at night, then that talk comes to hold a certain mysterious character. Also, as you travel from one village to another, if you talk while escorting members to their homes, then those members can never forget that experience. When a person lives a life experiencing such value, then there is progress.

You, too, try to convey God's word from midnight until you hear the first crow. How mysterious it is! In a quiet and tranquil night, convey God's words hearing the barking of neighbor's dog at a distance. You will feel as if you have just entered into a new life after finding a glowing sunlight, and as if you are a captain who is navigating with a fresh feeling after discovering a light from a distant beacon. You will feel your courageous, bold, and solemn self going alone in the world filled with mysteries. If you want to hold heartistic relationships, then guide people centering on the nighttime. Therefore there is a need to work and be active at night and in early morning.

However, if the people are married women, there will always be problems. Therefore, you have to make them understand well the significance and enable them to break out of their environment even at night. It is necessary to possess such heartistic generating power. Therefore, you should make them follow as you instruct them in any environment. If you make your members like this, first through the word, then through your action, and finally through your heart, they will never fall away. Then let your members do witnessing. You have to educate and raise them until they can witness other people. If this is accomplished, then you will not even lose one person out of all you have witnessed to. (29-196)
