"Let us Store up 7 Years of Prayer"

“All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him.” — Psalm 22:27

Joseph, Abraham's great-grandson and Jacob's eleventh son, who is a legendary person in the Bible. People are most familiar with him not only with his ornate robe, but also his story of being sold into slavery in Egypt by his brothers, and his dramatic rise to become Prime Minister from imprisonment.

What was the turning point in his story? Could this turning point also be a turning point for our church today? 

Pharaoh, the King of Egypt had two dreams, but no one could interpret them, causing him great distress and anxiety. Pharaoh's chief cupbearer introduced Joseph, whom he had met in prison and who possessed the ability to interpret dreams, to Pharaoh. 

So, Pharaoh said, “I heard that when you hear a dream, you can interpret it.”

Joseph said, “I cannot do it, but God will give the answer.” 

So, Pharaoh told Joseph all his dreams, and then Joseph started to interpret.

Joseph said, “Your two dreams are one.”

“And they mean that there will be 7 years of abundance in the land, and after that there will be 7 years of famine.”

“God has shown you this dream so that you can prepare ahead of time.”

[Genesis 41:25-32] 25 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do. 26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads of grain are seven years; it is one and the same dream. 27 The seven lean, ugly cows that came up afterward are seven years, and so are the seven worthless heads of grain scorched by the east wind: They are seven years of famine. 28 "It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do. 29 Seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt, 30 but seven years of famine will follow them. Then all the abundance in Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will ravage the land. 31 The abundance in the land will not be remembered, because the famine that follows it will be so severe. 32 The reason the dream was given to Pharaoh in two forms is that the matter has been firmly decided by God, and God will do it soon.

Pharaoh listened to all the interpretations, and he was deeply touched. He said in Genesis 41:38, “Can we find anyone like this man? The Spirit of God is with him.” So, Pharaoh appointed Joseph as the prime minister of Egypt.

Undoubtedly, the turning point was these two dreams. AND WITHIN THEM CONTAINS GOD'S GREAT PLAN OF SALVATION.

Genesis chapter 15, God told Abraham, that his descendants would live in a foreign land, serve there, and after about 400 years they would be set free. At that time, Abraham has no children. 

[Genesis 15:12-16] 12 As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and a thick and dreadful darkness came over him. 13 Then the LORD said to him, "Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years. 14 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions. 15 You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a good old age. 16 In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure."

Joseph was in Egypt preparing place and food because of God’s salvation plan which fulfilled His Word, ”God sent Joseph to Egypt to prepare Israel there, and later through that Israel to bring salvation to all nations.”

Therefore, this is not just Joseph’s personal story, but part of God’s plan to save all nations.

Returning to the initial turning point, what message did God convey to us through these two dreams?

My spiritual turning point came in 2023, during prayer at church, I received an important message about prayer and Hong Kong through the Word of God. 

"Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch." (Luke 5:4)

“Put out into deep water” means “You enter the depths of God.” The Holy Spirit spoke to me in my heart, “From this moment on, you must enter the depths of God through prayer, and cast your net there.” At that very moment, the Holy Spirit strongly moved me and said, “Starting this year, over the next 10 years, you must accumulate 10,000 hours of prayer.”

I didn't truly understand God's will at the time, but simply obeyed and prayed because I was certain of one thing: "Our God works through prayer". From that moment on, my prayer life was completely transformed.  I devoted more time to prayer than ever before, and my prayers became deeper and more fervent.

June 23 2023, is a day I will never forget. I prayed on Prayer Mountain for about two hours, then opened the Bible to read. It was then that God placed Psalm 22:27-31 in my heart “All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him.”  God gave me a message about "all nations." That day, I decided going to Hong Kong. However, our Full Gospel All Nations church had not yet been established. 

Finally, I arrived in Hong Kong in March 2025, while the Church of All Nations had already been established in January 2024. Although it was almost two years later than originally planned, the waiting time did not shake my faith, because God told me through prayer, “Knock on the door and it will be opened”, even when my original church suddenly and inexplicably cancelled its arrangement to send me to Hong Kong.

God’s work is always so amazing. Just as in Genesis 15, God told Abraham what his descendants would experience 400 years later, when Abraham had no children yet at that time. 

With our limited knowledge and wisdom, it is hard to understand everything in the world.  Only when we pray, through God’s word or visions, can we see what He will do. 

Therefore, I was so shocked when I saw the name of our church. “Full Gospel All Nations Church.” This was truly not a miracle for me, but also the answer of God and the fruit of prayer. 

Through prayer, God is now working powerfully in our church. In line with God’s purpose in establishing our church, I didn't pray for an increase in numbers; I only prayed that believers would become true disciples of Jesus and be sent out to serve all nations. Miraculously, the number of believers continued to increase. I believe this is the work of the Holy Spirit.

Now it is August 2026.  3 years of the 10-year prayer plan have passed, leaving 7 years. I still didn’t understand the purpose of God’s prayer plan.  Until recently, in prayer, I finally understood the reason. This prayer is to prepare for the coming spiritual famine which will bring immense challenges and intense spiritual attacks. Many people in the world will collapse under the impact of secularization. Even Christians will compromise, giving up their hearts and lives. Their spiritual fire will be extinguished, and their hearts will grow cold.

Last Tuesday, through the story of Joseph, God helped me understand the meaning of the remaining 7 years. God has given us His Word so that we can stay awake, pray, and prepare before such a time arrives. Like in Joseph's time, those who walk intimately with God in prayer during these 7 years will endure, overcome that season, and experience immense spiritual blessings. They will not crumble during the spiritual famine. Our 7 years of prayer will not disappear; they will live and continue to work under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We pray, and we will overcome.

From now on, our church must launch a 7-year prayer movement, a vision from God. Through this movement of prayer, the movement of the Holy Spirit will occur. Jesus completed his public ministry at approximately the age of 33. This means that 7 years later, in 2033, it will be 2000 years since Jesus' ascension. 2033, and the decade of the 2030s, will be a pivotal turning point in God's history. 

The number 7 in the Bible signifies “completion”. 

“7 years of prayer” also signifies “the fullness of my prayer.” This is not my own idea, nor my pastoral plan. I believe this is God’s message.

One day, everyone will stand before Jesus. Age and wealth cannot make us stand before Jesus. Only the life of prayer we lead. This is why we, FULL GOSPEL ALL NATIONS CHURCH begins our 7year prayer movement today.

There is one more thing we must understand. We are called to pray for these 7 years not just for our survival. When Joseph completed his 7 years of preparation, not only the people of Egypt came to him for food, but people from all nations came. 

Genesis 41:57 “And all the countries came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe in all the world.” If we accumulate 7 years of prayer, all nations will turn to the Lord through us and be saved.

Previously, I always thought we were going to all nations. But God opened my eyes and I understand that all nations coming to the place prepared over 7 years. The Word of God I received in 2023.  “All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him.” Psalm 22:27

“Here, God does not say, ‘You go and bring all nations,’ but rather, ‘All nations will return to the Lord and worship Him”

This is exactly why God established our ALL NATIONS church! Our church is entrusted with the mission of prayer! Through our church, the people of Hong Kong will live, the door to prayer and mission in China will be reopened, the prayer movement will spread from Hong Kong to China, Korea, the Philippines, East and Southeast Asia, and even the whole world.

The people of God, the soldiers of Christ, let us focus our eyes and heart on the 7 years prayer and let today as our spiritual turning point, experiencing 7 years of spiritual abundance as prayer warriors!
