Good day to all, we will now delve into 1 Timothy, Chapter 1. This is essentially a personal letter from Paul to Timothy. The theme of the first chapter is "that you may wage the good warfare." Timothy is quite an interesting character, a young man in his twenties, serving as Paul's assistant, almost like a son to him.
It is important to note that Timothy had his weaknesses, often displaying timidity and a lack of strong faith. At times, his vulnerabilities necessitated Paul writing 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy. It was not that he was a poor servant, but rather that Timothy's faith was not as robust, especially when it came to conflict and contention.
In our service within the church, we often encounter individuals who are difficult to deal with, very difficult indeed. These individuals often present arguments that seem logical, making it challenging to counter them. Why is it so difficult? I tell you, verbal exchanges are closely tied to faith. If one is strong in faith, they will prevail in these verbal confrontations! Faith is a formidable thing.
The Path of Faith is a Path of Warfare
"That you may wage the good warfare" – what is this good warfare? It is the battle between belief and unbelief. You and I have often walked in this light. When belief prevails within us, we find strength within. Conversely, when unbelief dominates, we feel weakened. For example, some people ask questions that are not really questions, but stem from a lack of faith, a lack of understanding of God's power.
During Timothy's time, in the church of Ephesus, there were individuals named Hymenaeus and Alexander. They were eloquent and persuasive, but they preached doctrines that led to unbelief. Is that not detestable? Paul had to write to Timothy, urging him not to be afraid, stating that he had handed them over to Satan, so that they would be disciplined and cease their blasphemies.
I imagine Timothy, managing the church, encountering such formidable figures as Hymenaeus and Alexander, who spoke with such force. On the path of faith, one often finds individuals who seek to undermine your belief.
This is a typical scenario. For instance, a sister is afflicted with an incurable disease. What do we do? We pray for her. But just as progress is being made, her family intervenes. How wicked is the devil! I tell you, life is a constant battle between belief and unbelief.
Family matters are often difficult to navigate. Why? Because they involve mothers and daughters, fathers and sons – relationships that are hard to interfere with. If we force the issue, we risk causing trouble and facing complaints. Consider, if you were to proclaim on the street that one should rely on faith and prayer for healing, many would label you a heretic. Why? Because the world lies under the sway of the evil one. Such pronouncements offend those who trust in doctors.
Frankly, if one has an incurable disease, they will seek treatment, and they will seek it aggressively. It is a matter of life and death. How difficult is this? I ask you, how easy was Timothy's task in the church, facing influential figures like Hymenaeus and Alexander? It was not easy.
Similarly, those of us in ministry face great difficulty when dealing with individuals suffering from terminal illnesses. To speak lightly is damaging, to speak harshly is equally so. If we bring it out into the open, we are accused of harming people. What if they die after we minister to them? Moreover, whether they live or die is related to their own faith.
Thus, I believe that the battle is within. Paul's letter to Timothy, which I am sharing with you, highlights that Timothy's faith determines whether this battle can be won or lost. No matter how deep one's sins or how great their problems, as long as they are willing to believe, they can be healed. Your faith has saved you.
Some say, "The teacher said this, the teacher said that, but it doesn't work." If you do not believe, I suggest you decide for yourself what you want. If you cannot take charge of your own life, it is an illusion. You absolutely can take charge of your own life.
Therefore, we often try to build your faith indirectly, because your faith can save you from the power of darkness. But many lack such faith. If they lack faith, they live according to their lack of faith, whatever the outcome may be.
I often encourage our junior pastors. They ask me, "Her husband argues with her because she believes." I say, "Then perhaps she should not believe. Let her do as she pleases." Family relationships are important. After I say this, everyone is puzzled. There is one explanation for those with faith, and another for those without. Ultimately, your faith is your destiny.
I want to emphasize that the path of faith is a path of warfare, the battle between belief and unbelief. You will find that those who do not believe may not have many tactics, but they have accepted the devil's lies. Observe the situation in hospitals, and you will understand.
My father was quite intelligent. He followed me in believing, but the church established in that era was not thriving, it was desolate. I was also very busy with work, very strenuous. My father contracted a simple case of pneumonia, but the elderly man in his seventies was otherwise fine. He went to the hospital, and they said, "You must be hospitalized." After a month of treatment, he was bedridden. They gave him this and that, a whole array of treatments.
Later, my father thought, "I walked in here on my own, and now I am bedridden." Where can you reason? My father said, "I am not getting treatment anymore, I am going home." As you can see, he did not improve, but worsened. I tell you, it was due to excessive medication. He passed away two months after returning home, but at least he suffered less. All those treatments were very uncomfortable.
You are free to trust in hospitals, but I cannot tell you that it is wrong. If you do not trust in hospitals, I cannot tell you that it is right or wrong. Understand? Consider carefully, such cases are numerous. Unnecessary surgeries are performed. Necessary surgeries are definitely performed, otherwise how would the monthly quotas be met? Medication is used excessively, and if it is not, patients complain. More medication means more profit and bonuses.
Therefore, belief and unbelief are your own choices. Brothers and sisters, know that this battle is in your heart, the battle between belief and unbelief. I lament that it is not easy for a person to live in this world. Why? Because of unbelief.
The Enemy is Within the Church
As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer or to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God’s work—which is by faith. The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk. They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm. (1 Timothy 1:3-7)
Do you see? There are many who boast in the church. This is from my personal experience. It would be good if you could be like me. There are all kinds of people in the church. There are many who undermine people's faith.
My first two years of faith were good, because God did not let me see the dark side of the church. You must know that the devil lives in the church. Where the church is, where God's temple is, the devil will be there. Is that not frightening? When building a church, the devil loves to reside there.
Once, when I was casting out a demon, I said, "Get out!" It said, "I don't know where to go." I said, "Behind you is a nightclub and a red-light district, many of your own kind are there, go there." It said, "I won't go." This demon was quite stubborn. I said, "If you won't go, you must leave! You must depart!" It said, "I don't know where to go." I said, "Where do you want to go?" It said, "I want to go to church." Oh my goodness, I was shocked.
Later, it shared with me slowly, "It is not easy for us. We are sent by our superiors to the church to cause destruction. If we lose the battle in the church, we will die." This demon was quite interesting. They said, "We will die if we go back, and we will die here, so let us die." They even had the faith to die. Demons are quite interesting.
It said, "We must go to church." I said, "Then go to that church." It said, "I won't go." I said, "Why not go to that church?" It said that church is very low. It told me that they are all farmers. It said, "If I go there, I can have a place, but there will be no reward when I return." I said, "You like to chew on hard bones, and now you have kicked a steel plate, what are you going to do? You must get out!"
Later, I realized that the path our church has taken is that as our ability to fight the battle increases, where do we fight? Those demons begin to manifest and are cast out. After another increase, we fight again, and those demons are cast out again. How do we cleanse the church? The spiritual height of the church determines the degree of holiness of the church.
Why? Because if the spiritual height in the church is not enough, those powerful demons will not manifest. It is difficult to deal with. Recently, have you noticed that we are dealing with those who lack understanding, solving people's understanding problems? Many of these people are watching, and the demons inside them are planning: "If we allow this person to continue in the church, I will be cast out. The spiritual height of this church is beginning to increase. I should take this person away."
So, brothers and sisters, you must understand that when one of our small shepherds, the one shepherding this person, departs, you must know that the spiritual height of the church is increasing. What was he doing in the church? Not doing proper work, just saying nice-sounding, absurd, and unfounded words and endless genealogies.
Don't even mention the genealogy in the 《Gospel of Matthew》, from Adam begetting so-and-so, then so-and-so begetting so-and-so, Abraham begetting so-and-so, all the way to Jesus Christ. You wrote a genealogy in 《Matthew》, and then some people start studying the genealogy. Studying the genealogy, "Oh, which branch are you from?" "I am from the Solomon branch." "And which branch are you from?" "I am from the Ananias branch." "And which branch are you from?" "I am from the Amnon branch." Everyone feels, "Look, I am from the Solomon branch," just doing these things.
So, these unfounded words and endless genealogies, and these people also spread heresy. What heresy? Looking at astrology, looking at constellations, and believing in strange things. In the church, there's palm reading, astrology, so much. These things all carry the flavor of heresy.
Everyone must know that the things of the spiritual realm are very real. Let me give you an example from the Old Testament in the 《Bible》. When that city, that king, was fighting against the Israelites and was about to be defeated, he sacrificed his son. As a result of this sacrifice, the Israelites were defeated. Can you understand this? You can understand, the things of the spiritual realm are very powerful.
Now, if you go to YouTube, there are many things about the spiritual realm. I tell you, I am a pastor who particularly believes in the spiritual realm, otherwise how could I solve so many complex problems? The things of the spiritual realm are too real. Including those things like sacrificing people, borrowing lifespan, and doing many such things. Do you think it works? It works! Is it effective? It is effective. If it weren't effective, it wouldn't be called the spiritual realm.
So, what does that show? So, these things spoken in the church, and these things only breed arguments. He says yes, he says no, he says no, he says yes. They argue and debate, but in reality, they have no effect on God's established order in faith. Heresy, genealogies, absurd and unfounded words, empty words, and then bringing out the law, which is even more confusing. But it has no effect on believing in the Lord. These Hymenaeus, Alexander, and some of their cohorts are doing these things in the church.
So, brothers and sisters, you must know that many strange things are spoken in the church. Let me give you a few examples. For example, the church does healing and deliverance. After healing and deliverance, you have to do a cleansing prayer. As a result, someone came to me that day, and this person was terrified, trembling. Said, "Teacher, what should I do?" I said, "What's the matter? Why are you trembling so much?" He said, "Oh, I prayed for a cancer patient, and after praying, I forgot to do a cleansing prayer." I said, "If you didn't do it, you didn't do it." He said, "He is a lung cancer patient, and now my lungs are also uncomfortable." My goodness! I was thinking, what kind of faith is this? It's simply unbelief.
So, our brothers and sisters, belief and unbelief are a battle, there are many in the church. Those charismatic churches that cast out demons talk about many things. Do they talk a lot about the original family? Yes, a lot. Why are you like this? Because of your original family. When you come to me, it's simple. I say, just love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength, and God will surely keep His covenant and show loving-kindness to you to a thousand generations. Nothing will happen. If you hate God, God will punish your sins, from father to son to the third and fourth generations. Do you think that's powerful? It's powerful!
I tell you, the real solution to the problem is whether you love God or not. If you love yourself very much and don't love God, what can I do? Even if I have great abilities, even if I were Jesus in the world, I couldn't solve people's unbelief. I must also tell you, do you think the root of the diseases of those people Jesus healed was removed? No. Do you think the diseases recurred? I said they all recurred, and later they all relapsed. Why did they all relapse? I tell you the root cause. This person does not love God, so he is cursed, and then the curses of his ancestors for three to four generations are placed on his head. Do you think he can have a good outcome? Later, all these people disbelieved in the Lord.
You say that all of them disbelieved in the Lord, that's not entirely true. Jesus healed thousands upon thousands of people, but those who followed Jesus, if they were praying and waiting for God in Jerusalem, there were only one hundred and twenty. And there were five hundred who saw Jesus ascend to heaven on the Mount of Olives. Where did so many people go? I tell you, the root cause of people's illnesses is curses. You violated God's word in the past and were cursed. If you get better and then violate God's word again, you will still be cursed, it's that simple. Because these are the words of the Book of the Law, right?
So, I tell you, the enemy is in the church. Think about it, Peter led people to believe, and three thousand people were saved, five thousand people were saved. To put it bluntly, I say, saved my foot! I'm just emphasizing a bit, it's really my foot. That's not salvation, they are all unbelieving. Later, you know what? This Peter asked people to donate, my goodness, many people donated. After donating, everyone ate from the big pot, eating and drinking there, and then some people ate too much and complained. Eating too little also complained. Complaining about eating pickles. Like this, they ate the church into bankruptcy, ate up a lot of real estate, and then pulled it out again. Can you believe in this church?
That's the thing, the enemy is releasing lies in the church. Thank God, we are in Jesus Christ. We have been fighting from day one. Who are we fighting against? Fighting against unbelief, fighting against the lies released by the devil, which bring unbelief. I tell you, unbelief is the root of the problem.
## The law is for the lawless
Paul was saying that **the law is for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinful, the law is for the wicked**. Today, we are spending all our time studying the law, keeping this and keeping that, and it's over.
A sister hosted a group of preachers, and this group of preachers aimed to become world-renowned pastors. I don't know why being a renowned pastor is so good. Look at these people, some people want to become renowned pastors, but they are not famous. As a result, they went to Canada and stayed in our sister's home. In fact, they didn't care at all about our sister's problems. Why? Her son is not young anymore but still wets the bed. Imagine a child who is not young anymore and still wets the bed every day, it's very upsetting. Why did she come to our church? That was later. After coming to our church, the problem of bedwetting was solved. Why bedwetting? Because of indulging the flesh, old horse.
This group of people wanted to become renowned pastors and also pursued eating organic food. If you want to eat organic food, unless you grow it yourself, wow, they were doing all these organic foods. Anyway, I think this thing is very boring. Is eating so important? Didn't Jesus say? **Eating cannot defile a person, what is pulled out will fall into the latrine the next day. But what comes out of the heart can defile a person**. People are like this, you say how much this corrupts people's faith? It's very corrupting.
Because the 《Bible》 says, this cannot be eaten, that cannot be eaten, this is clean, that is unclean. Is there? Yes. You say there still is, then you can't say this is not God's word, then this is God's word. Finished, as a result, someone ate a meal in a restaurant yesterday, a classmate reunion, and came back feeling uncomfortable. Oh, their food is not clean. And the unclean food should have been offered to idols, and soon the conscience is corrupted, and then the faith is also corrupted.
I think we must be very careful about the control of the devil when we read the Book of the Law. We know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully. What does it mean to use it lawfully? To use it in faith.
**Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For fornicators, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; (《1 Timothy》 1:9-10)**
Originally, those things were established for sinners, that is, unbelievers. Oh, this is unclean, that is unclean, you just talk about it, it never ends. I dare say, you can't keep it either, why can't you keep it? Those things are not for believers to keep, they are for unbelievers.
So, I think, the path of believing in the Lord is a path of struggle. The law is established for the wicked. Let's say something from the heart, if you are really a person who loves God, what do you think will happen? Ate it, then ate it, didn't eat it, then didn't eat it, nothing great. Especially like me, I don't take eating seriously. I often work and work, and it's six o'clock in the evening, and I haven't eaten yet. It's okay. People just have more problems when they indulge the flesh.
So, what's the problem? The key to the gospel we believe in is love. Don't think that the word "love" is abstract, but it is actually very concrete. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength!
## The goal of our instruction is love
What is a command? The summary of the law is love, the goal of our instruction is love.
**The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. (《1 Timothy》 1:5)**
Once people deviate from this, it's over. Some people say: I don't love God, teacher, why can't I love God? I said: Then you will slowly suffer and then you will. I was thinking, how much advantage does a person who loves the Lord take? Loving the Lord your God with all your heart and all your strength, do you have to suffer so much? Then you should believe in yourself and love yourself. So, the greatest commandment is: First, love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your strength. Second, love your neighbor as yourself. Some people say: Loving God, what's the use? Loving people? I still love myself. I say: Love yourself well, until you love yourself into the grave.
We believers, we must love God, we must love our neighbor as ourselves. These two summarize all the things in the Book of the Law. Sometimes I think, many people live and get this disease, live and get that disease, but thank God, you have come among us, and you have been healed more or less. Even if it's not 100%, it's gone 80% or 90%.
The problem is, you still don't know how to love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. What a grace! That's not something else, that's a great grace. I encourage everyone to take loving God as the purpose of living, and you will suffer less. Thank God! Although I am a sinner, because I believe in God, He saves me from all these sins. You say how good it is to believe in God! If you believe in yourself, then believe in yourself well, I can't make decisions for you. I can't make decisions for you, if I could make decisions for you, that would be great, but I really can't.
All that needs to be said has been said, all that needs to be explained has been explained. But, are you willing to love God in your heart? Are you willing to walk this path, the path of believing in the Lord? Are you willing to cast out those unbelieving things from within us? Are you willing to pay a price for believing in the Lord? I tell you, this thing of believing in the Lord is very interesting. When you come among us, you must believe in the Lord well. Once you decide to believe in the Lord well, the enemy will surely come to persecute you. Through mouths, through your husband, through your family, through all kinds of persecution. That's what's so devilish.
Once you start to seriously believe in the Lord, if you don't seriously believe, just wandering around among us, almost getting kicked out. Then suddenly you repent, oh, that won't do, your family will report you, isn't that evil? Because of what? Because of prayer. For so many years, you believed in the Lord so poorly, no one cared. But once you start to seriously believe in the Lord, the people around your family, oh my goodness! They all come to ruin the faith within you. If you don't have some character, you can't do it!
So I still encourage you, if you calculate and see how you can go on? If you can't, then just go along with them, get the relationships right. Believing in the Lord and making a mess of the family, there's no need for that. And you can't experience this battle. If you really have my kind of ability, who would dare to come, whoever comes will be weak, they will immediately become weak. But, there aren't many people with my kind of character. Don't even mention Timothy, Timothy is really weak in character, just like you. So Paul wrote letters to him, and I also write letters to you.
If you don't believe, you can't overcome. Later I found that many of our brothers and sisters among us were strong when facing persecution. Hey, nothing happened. If you are weak, there's a demon behind you. So, how can a person who is not strong possibly draw on God's promises? Soft and mushy, they love to walk the path of unbelief, but they can't walk the path of faith.
This is the sum of the commandment, which is love. I tell you, no one can stop me. No one can stop me. Whoever stops me, I will let go of them. After everyone has listened, you say what kind of talk is this. What kind of talk? I don't have hair growing on my face, and I don't have horns growing on my head. I won't become the Bull Demon King, and I won't become the Monkey King, I still look like a normal person, even more normal than you. I work harder than many people. What problem do I have, no problem at all. My finances are blessed by God, my work is blessed by God, my service is blessed by God. My whole life has God's glory on me. Who can stop me?
That's my character, I have seen through everything. They wrote a song for me called "Let Go of Everything." They sing it pretty well, but when I sing it, it's out of tune. It's about letting go of everything. But in the end, I will never do anything to hurt you. What's inside me comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and a sincere faith. I must love the Lord my God with all my heart and with all my strength. I will never be lazy in serving the brothers and sisters. Even those who are very bad, who believe in the Lord very poorly. I will never be lazy, I will be patient and earnest. Ah, my little heart has been ravaged time and time again. Unbelief is too evil! Unbelief is really too corrupt.
## Christ Jesus Came into the World to Save Sinners
**I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service. Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (1 Timothy 1:12-17)**
Paul got excited when he wrote this. What was he excited about? Oh, I persecuted so many Christians. And when Stephen was stoned to death, Paul was there. But he still had a little conscience, unwilling to throw stones, helping people watch the clothes. Paul took letters from the high priest and went everywhere to arrest Christians, putting them in prison. As a result, one day, he really met Jesus, he kicked an iron plate.
Jesus said, it is hard for you to kick against the goads. Paul was immediately blinded by Jesus' light, in fact, he should have been blind. Then he began to repent, wanting to believe in Jesus, and when he said this, he remembered that he was especially favored. If Jesus hadn't blinded him and arranged for someone to heal his eyes, he would still be the worst of sinners.
I marvel at our God, who can do anything, but if Paul insisted on not believing, no one could do anything, even God couldn't do anything. So brothers and sisters, if your eyes are blind, do you believe that Jesus can restore your sight? Yes, He can. If you have a disease of lameness, can Jesus Christ heal your disease? If you believe, yes, He can. But when you say it, people think, oh, isn't this absurd? It's because they don't believe. If they don't believe, they believe in other things. They believe in themselves, believe in doctors, believe in anything. They find as many excuses as they can, it has nothing to do with us.
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. When God sees that he has a little faith, He saves him. What about those who don't believe? Those who do not believe will be condemned. So brothers and sisters must know that the sum of the commandment is love, but love comes from faith. And those enemies and adversaries in the church, they make up those heresies, false teachers, absurd and unfounded words, empty words, a lot of laws, these things are useless.
So no matter how great a sinner you are, even if you are the worst of sinners, God can save you, but you must have faith. Do you believe? So the battle between belief and unbelief is too obvious. Oh, I especially marvel at how easy it is to disbelieve, you don't have to do anything. But believing is very difficult. Although believing doesn't cost a penny, believing is so difficult. We who believe must often fight against unbelief.
No matter how many people die in the hospital, no matter whether it is over-medical treatment or not, whether it is right or wrong, even if the wrong medicine is used, you have nowhere to complain, then just believe, believing in the hospital is also good. Why can't people tell the difference?
I don't want to argue with the hospital, because the hospital is still very important. For a person who does not believe in God, where else can he go if he doesn't go to the hospital? Right? God also gives them a place to spend money and a place to get treatment. So the hospital is not for us who believe in the Lord, we really don't need it much.
## Holding on to Faith and a Good Conscience
**Timothy, my son, I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well. (1 Timothy 1:18)**
What does Paul saying this to Timothy mean? Let everyone say, what have you read? It means that Timothy must fight this good fight! What is fighting a good fight? It is overcoming, overcoming this unbelief. Even if there are some Hymenaeus and Alexander in the church, it doesn't matter. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, and all things are possible for those who believe. This is visible, those who believe in the Lord will rely on the Lord Jesus. Because of faith, God will accomplish according to our faith. What a wonderful fight this is, this fight is a contest between belief and unbelief. Just watch, the unbelieving are corrupted, and the believing are saved. This life is often fighting a good fight between belief and unbelief.
Paul was afraid that Timothy would stay in Ephesus and not be able to defeat these people. Paul was going to Macedonia, so before he left Ephesus, he said to Timothy: I laid my hands on you and prayed. As a result, when he laid his hands on him, he began to declare, Timothy, in the name of Jesus Christ, I prophesy that you will be victorious. What is he doing? Imparting faith!
Was that prophecy because Paul saw some vision, or did he not see any vision? We don't know. In fact, it's not based on what was seen or not seen, it's based on Paul boldly declaring in the name of Jesus Christ. Because he knew that Timothy was too weak. **Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Know that no enemy can stand before you all the days of your life.** This is what God said to Joshua, you must lead the Israelites into the promised land, you must lead the Israelites across the Jordan River and into the promised land.
When I hear such words, I often thank my God. God has given me a task, which is to lead everyone into the promised land. We must draw on God's promises more and more, lead everyone on this path of faith, and lead everyone to fight this good fight. No matter what kind of thing, what kind of enemy is before us, we must have sufficient faith in our understanding. In our understanding, be fully aware of God's will and know the mysteries of God. Brothers and sisters, the blind can see, and the lame can walk. Nothing is impossible with God, we rely on faith to let God's glory be manifested among us.
When you see God doing wonderful works in you, you will marvel that we can have the blessing of believing in the Lord in this life. That we can see God's miraculous deeds. We overcome unbelief, no matter what kind of person you are, even if you have been blind for twenty years, still believe. Because this is the gospel, this is the gospel!
What does the gospel say? Isaiah 61:1: **The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have been captured are released, and those who have been oppressed are set free.** This is the gospel! I hope that brothers and sisters will receive the benefits of the gospel through faith.
You will find that I rarely talk about the gospel of unbelief, I rarely talk about these logics of unbelief. What is that unbelief called? If God doesn't heal you, do you still believe? Isn't this nonsense? But many churches say this. I don't say that. I say God will surely heal you. Do you believe? All things are possible for those who believe. No ifs, only Amen!
I think in this battle, God will predestine you to be victorious. Do not be afraid, do not worry, be strong and courageous. Enter the promised land and draw on God's promises. You may die if you enter Canaan, but you will definitely die if you don't enter Canaan. If people provoke God's wrath in unbelief, they will live in God's wrath all their lives. Because of faith, we give birth to loving the Lord our God with all our heart and with all our strength, and we give birth to love like our God. Amen!
May God bless everyone!
