On September 5th Service, Rev. Hyung Jin Nim started sharing about the new eight-times-a-day-prayer special condition to actualize the eight stages of perfection; divide the day into eight sections and pray eight times a day, going from individual all the way to the level of God; to segment the day and offer the entire day to God.
