2019-12-21 19,226 Sermon Flourishing Church Blessing Inheritance Destiny Tabernacle

Introduction

Over the past period, we received a sister from Taiwan. This Taiwanese sister had cancer, with a strange gas in her colon that often caused her unbearable pain. In her local church, her uncle, a pastor, was unable to help her, and the hospital could not cure her. By chance, her uncle contacted us and brought her to us. One of my colleagues began to minister to her, and subsequently, she was healed. We learned that she was a Christian, having attended church since childhood, but the church was unable to deliver her.

I am deeply saddened because I see many people with various needs who cannot find fulfillment in the church. I see many churches preaching a powerless gospel; how悲哀啊! These past two days, we received a sister from the UK. Her husband is British, and they are both Christians, attending church as well. However, her husband developed depression, and no one could solve their problem. This sister contacted us, and we began to minister to her. During the ministry, her husband's health gradually recovered, and he was healed.

I am astonished at why today's church is so different from the church in the Bible. Why are churches preaching a powerless gospel? Why has the church lost its power? A few days ago, I spoke on the phone with a sister from the Netherlands. This Dutch sister shared with us the process of finding us. Although she was in a local church, she was afflicted with many illnesses. She wanted to serve and actively served, but all she saw were the conflicts arising from internal strife in the church.

This sister felt that the church should not be like this. She searched constantly online and finally found us. After following us for some time, she was healed of her illnesses. She even prayed for her husband, and his legs were relieved. At the same time, this sister continuously inherited our teachings and gained a deeper understanding of the words of the Bible.

I am deeply moved: what has happened to this generation? What exactly has occurred? I am very fortunate that we have come to know God and have begun to build a church with God's presence, allowing these people to receive blessings among us. Many people, including those from America and Malaysia, have contacted us from all directions. All who come among us are healed because God is present among us.

Every time such a thing happens, I thank our God. I pray and plead with God, asking that He would raise us up and expand our tent in this generation, so that we may become a blessing to the whole earth. We must recognise that enterprises, including Ponzi schemes and multi-level marketing companies, are constantly expanding. Their expansion is for profit, but our expansion is to become a blessing to the whole earth, and this is called Mingding.

The term Mingding Destiny is very well coined. Mingding is what we are born for, what we live for, and what we die for. This is the meaning of our lives, and I hope everyone can receive Mingding among us. Otherwise, what is the point of living? Is it just to忙着赚钱吗? And then what? Marry a wife? Have children? And then what? Retire? Then marry again, have more children, and retire again? What is the meaning of this cycle repeated until death? If you think this has meaning, you can live that way.

People actually believe they are doing the right thing. Stingy people have their way of living and their reasons for being stingy. Generous people have their way of living and their reasons for being generous. In fact, stingy people do not think they are stingy; they believe everyone in the world is like that. Foolish people do not think they are foolish either; they believe everyone in the world is like them. Narrow-minded people do not think they are narrow-minded. However, what people live for determines the outcome they live out.

A person with Mingding Destiny will attract God into our lives. God will bestow His promises and blessings upon us, so that we can pass on His blessings. A person who lives for themselves will attract many spiritual forces of darkness and will eventually live in corruption. The outcome of a person's life is the result of their own logical system and their own choices. To date, I have ministered to many people, including cancer patients. According to my observation, those who get cancer are very fond of living for themselves. If you are someone who lives for yourself, the rate of getting cancer will greatly increase.

In the blink of an eye, 2019 is about to pass. I want to challenge everyone: who have you blessed? Whose problems have you solved? What have you sown? What is in your heart? Do you truly have Mingding Destiny? I want to tell everyone that God is a God who loves expansion, our God is a God who loves prosperity, and our God does not like people to live in a narrow state. Our God is a God who makes us prosper. God tells us to be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. I think 2019 is a milestone. God will expand among us again, allowing us to expand to the whole earth and become a blessing to the whole earth. God is fulfilling our dreams and Mingding Destiny.

Looking back on these past years, we have experienced many obstacles and difficulties. However, no difficulty can stop us from entering into this Mingding Destiny. We expand to the east, west, north, and south with great desire. May God raise us up in this generation. God is fulfilling our dreams and our Mingding Destiny in this generation. Because we are called Mingding Destiny Theology.

You and I must stand in our places, using the internet to look to the east, west, north, and south. You can open Google Maps and look to the east, west, north, and south. Everything you see, God will give to you. In the past, we did not have the conditions to declare this because we were truly desolate. We were not qualified or had the conditions to say that we would become a blessing to the whole earth. In that desolate situation, we dreamed of becoming a blessing to the whole earth. Walking step by step to this day, we thank God for the beautiful things He has accomplished among us, and we thank God for manifesting His arm and His glorious radiance among us.

Today, we deeply hope that God can greatly use us, allowing us to win the whole earth for Him, and that His glory will fill the whole earth. You must want to live a wonderful life, you must want to have many stories, then come out of pettiness, enter into destiny, expand your territory, expand our dwelling place, and become a blessing to the whole earth.

Scripture

“Sing, barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband,” says the Lord. “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities. “Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood. For your Maker is your husband— the Lord Almighty is his name— the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth. (Isaiah 54:1-5)

Prayer

Lord, today let us rise up and shine for You. May Your glory fill the whole earth. May You continually guide us, expand our tent, and enable us to become a blessing to the whole earth! Lord, may the promises You gave to Abraham be fulfilled in us today! I am Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob of this generation! Lord, work among us today, raise us up, build Your glorious church, preach Your powerful gospel, and let the whole earth see Your glory, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

The Tabernacle Is God's Temple, Which Is the Church

I like to clarify things one by one. I do not like unclear concepts, nor do I like making things chaotic. When we read this scripture, there is a confusion: enlarge the place of your tent. What exactly is the tent? The tent is actually God's temple, which is God's church. Today we call it church, but in the era of Isaiah in the Old Testament, it was no longer called a tent but a temple, which is the temple built by Solomon.

This tent was first built by Moses. Moses built the tent exactly according to the pattern God had shown him on the mountain, and as a result, God's glory filled the tent. In the past, we have been building God's glorious church. I have a firm idea, which is to build His church according to what God has revealed in the Bible. If the church is not built according to what God has revealed in the Bible, God's glory cannot fill us.

Today I want to tell everyone an important concept: God wants us to build His tent, let us build His temple, let us build His church, we must build according to God's will! If you build a house, not according to the blueprints God gives you, but according to your own ideas, is this house to satisfy God or to satisfy us? Of course, it is to satisfy God. If God dwells in the temple, the temple will be filled with God's glory!

The tabernacle, Zion, and Jerusalem mentioned in the Old Testament all refer to the church. These names in the New Testament are the church. In the Bible, those who bless Jerusalem are blessed, and many people go to bless Jerusalem, but发现祝福完了耶路撒冷也不蒙祝福. However, if you come together to build God's glorious church in one accord, you will see God's blessings come upon you through the church.

If you are not a person with Mingding Destiny, you will not build God's glorious church, and the church will lose God's power. We are a group of people who take building God's glorious church as our Mingding Destiny. This is why many people cannot be healed in their original churches, but they are healed when they come among us. The Bible is written in black and white, you read it and I read it, but why do people build churches in different ways? Because people just like to build churches according to their own ideas.

I used to not know how to build His church according to God's word. I was messing around there myself, and as a result, I was cursed. Fortunately, I woke up relatively quickly, and I immediately turned back to God. Isaiah chapter 54 is about building God's tent. Before this chapter, a large section had already been discussed. Today, let's take a look:

Awake, awake, Zion, clothe yourself with strength! Put on your garments of splendor, Jerusalem, the holy city! The uncircumcised and defiled will not enter you again. (Isaiah 52:1)

Zion is the church, and the holy city of Jerusalem is the church. From this scripture, we can see that today the church must rise up and put on God's power. The church originally possessed power, but why do some churches lack power now? Because people have not built His church according to God's instructions. We must know that the church is the body of Jesus Christ, the church is the temple of God, and the church cannot only focus on the number of people and bring all kinds of people into the church. This is a very serious problem, and it is not God's will. The church must bring in those who have Mingding Destiny, who are circumcised and洁净的, and love each other in the church, so that the church will have God's presence.

The church cannot pursue numbers. Numbers are not the goal of the church, and money is not the goal of the church. If you bring in all kinds of people in order to pursue numbers, the church may seem to be reviving, but those without Destiny, who are uncircumcised, and are unclean, are actually outsiders.

In fact, God had already told us in the New Testament: Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away. The principle is very simple. Therefore, whether it is establishing a church or establishing a company, you cannot want just anyone. If you establish a company and the employees you hire cannot have the same vision as you, you will not be able to go on together. So, a church that pursues numbers and money is definitely not God's will. If you want to build a church with God's presence, then you must purify the church.

In the early years, there were all kinds of people in our church, and I sent them all away. My logic is very simple. Since we are going to build God's church, we must build a holy, unified church filled with God's glory. What is the use of a church without God's presence?

Therefore, today you must know that the church should put on power, put on beautiful clothes, and from now on the uncircumcised and unclean must not enter among you again. This is a very important principle. It is difficult for those without Mingding Destiny to stay among us. If you have been blessed and healed among us, but you do not have Mingding Destiny, we do not want to keep you. You do not need to be embarrassed to tell us. You can go wherever you want to go. But those brothers and sisters who are willing to stay and build God's tent with us, who are willing to expand the place of this tent with us, who are willing to share the same Mingding Destiny with us, and become a blessing to the whole earth, then let's run this heavenly road together.

Know the Name of God

Therefore my people will know my name; in that day they will know that it is I who foretold it. Yes, it is I!” (Isaiah 52:6)

God's people must know the name of God. If they do not know the name of God, how can they be called God's people? If you read the word of God and do not know that it is the word of God, not only do brothers and sisters say things according to their own ideas, but even many pastors are talking nonsense. Therefore, today God's people must know God's name. In that day is today, we must know God. What does the Bible say? Yes, it is I, which is God. So, we must know the name of God and know that it is God who is speaking.

Earlier we already knew: we cannot bring those who are uncircumcised and unclean into the church. But some people insist on bringing people into the church and insist on keeping people there. For example, building a church, preparing a lot of delicious food, and even driving a bus to pick people up, and they come to eat and drink there. I have done this before, as if I were reporting to the superiors how many buses I had found and how many people I had invited to eat. They think this is evangelism, but I don't think this has any effect. Is this building a church? Is this called Mingding Destiny? I think those who are invited in this way are all 饭桶. Perhaps a few will stay in the end, but I don't think they will be of much use either. Today, if the church is filled with God's power, when our God and our Jesus Christ are lifted up, He will attract all people to follow Him.

Some time ago, when I was talking to a sister, she said: Why haven't I seen anyattraction? She didn't see it because all she saw in her original church were people who catered to the flesh. Aren't the people who are being attracted into us today all seeking Mingding Destiny? If you are only here to seek God's grace, then I think after you receive it, you can go back and do whatever you need to do. But those who seek Mingding Destiny, let's run this heavenly road together and expand God's tent together, so that the whole earth can experience God's grace.

How Beautiful on the Mountains are the Feet of Those Who Bring Good News

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!” (Isaiah 52:7)

God reigns among us; God's words among us carry weight, and our God shall indeed reign among us. Some say, God also reigns among us. I observe that God is perhaps not as sovereign as you are, for at times we humans are fond of being willful. The Bible, in the book of Samuel, recounts King Saul, a man who loved to have his own way, constantly having ideas, which led God to regret making him king. I believe there are many like King Saul today who are building churches, yet God does not reign among them. Why? Because Saul reigns among them. Your God reigns – what does this encapsulate? Seeing God so present with us today, is it not evidence of God reigning among us? I encourage everyone to carefully read and implement God's word.

It further states, How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those. In Isaiah chapter two, it speaks of the latter days when people will ascend the mountain of the Lord and enter the house of the God of Jacob. This chapter speaks of How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those. These words are exceedingly good. That is to say, recognizing God's truth, continually climbing on God's holy mountain, continually ascending in God's truth – how beautiful are the feet of these people!

Today, we bring good news; we proclaim peace; we herald good tidings; we preach salvation, which is the healing of many. If you read the New Testament, what Jesus spoke of was, Your faith has saved you. Salvation has been distorted to an absurd degree today, but we in Chinese Mingding Destiny explain this salvation very clearly. Therefore, these passages from Isaiah that we discuss today are at the core of our Chinese Mingding Destiny system. Are we not continually climbing on this mountain road? How beautiful are the feet of such people ascending the mountain. We must all continually rise in the knowledge of God's truth.

As you ascend in truth, the higher you climb, the stronger your ability to wage spiritual warfare, and the more potent your healing and deliverance become. This readily explains why those who come among us are all healed. Because there is a great multitude here scaling the mountain, constantly bringing good news, proclaiming peace, heralding good tidings, preaching salvation, and continually recognizing God's truth, expanding the tent of the Lord!

The following point is also extremely important. How so?

Depart, depart, go out from Babylon! Touch no unclean thing; come out from it; be pure, you who carry the vessels of the Lord. (Isaiah 52:11)

What does it mean to come out from Babylon? It means to come out from the worldly system of logic. Building a church cannot involve bringing the world's logical system into the church, for then the church will be defiled, and God's presence will be absent. If worldly things are brought into the church, and the church's essence cannot penetrate the world, how can God be present? Therefore, the church must come out from the world's system of logic.

Not only must we come out from the worldly system of logic, but we must also achieve the points we have just mentioned for the church to be filled with God's power. Today, when the church is clothed with God's power and adorned in beautiful garments, it becomes a glorious tent of God, and God's arm will be revealed to us. Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? (Isaiah 53:1)

That is to say, when we believe in God's word and implement it according to His will, the arm of the Lord will be revealed among us. When the arm of the Lord is revealed among us, it will become a blessing to many. Today, our brothers and sisters must understand that this generation is in great need of God's blessing and the powerful gospel.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. (Romans 1:16)

This is what Paul said in his letter. So today, we must begin to understand that when we have established a tent with God's presence, we must expand our tent dwelling.

Enlarge the Place of Our Tent

Over the past years, we have continuously studied the scriptures and written many books, producing numerous Bible study materials. Most churches probably have not written as much as we have. I think this is a marvelous thing; we simply want to thoroughly understand God's word. Today, a brother told me that very few churches study the Bible, and the churches I know of also rarely lead people in Bible study. They bring in many books to read and share many things, but they do not lead people to study the Bible, leaving them to read at their own pace. But we are different; from the commencement of building the church, we have led everyone in Bible study, and this has continued to this day. The content of our Bible study sharing comes through constant prayer and seeking God's revelation. We do not plagiarize what others have said, and we compile our shared insights into Bible study materials for publication.

Today, let us enlarge the place of our tent, stretch our tent curtains wide, lengthen our cords and strengthen our stakes. Let us not limit ourselves, expanding to the left and to the right, for we will possess the nations, and resettle the desolate cities. I think this is such a wonderful promise. Strengthen the stakes, for they need to be strong; if they are not, they will collapse with the wind. Lengthen your cords; to erect the tent, you need cords. Then, stretch wide the curtains of your dwelling, which is indeed a stance of abundance. Were these words fulfilled in Isaiah's time? Actually, no. Were they fulfilled later? Yes, they were.

More precisely, these words are spoken for our generation. May God's glory fill the whole earth. Thank God, our church is a victorious church. God is revealing to us, continually sending forth light among us, so we break through limitations and expand to the east and to the west! Wherever there is internet, that is our gospel factory, through which people are delivered via the internet.

Many people think that the church is just a building, and they are reluctant to leave the physical church. In this era of such developed e-commerce, we place orders on our phones, and Taobao delivers items very quickly, which is very convenient. How much more so should it be with the church? The church must move with the times. Although God's truth does not change, is the method of conveying truth not changing? I believe that if the Apostle Paul were alive in this generation, he would certainly use WeChat, QQ, WhatsApp, Skype, and Line to serve people. The first to use remote service in the church would be the Apostle Paul, who pastored churches by writing letters to them. This was first initiated by the Apostle Paul, not our invention.

It's just that the speed of transmitting information was very slow back then; now, information can be transmitted to the internet in mere seconds. I believe that Paul, if he were living in our time, would, like us, or we, like him, expand the place of our tent and establish an online church. We must all begin to expand, destroying the narrow concepts that limit us, lengthening our cords, strengthening our stakes, stretching wide the curtains of our dwelling on the internet, expanding the place of our tent, continually expanding to the left and to the right, for we will possess the nations, and resettle the desolate cities. Our expanding the place of our tent is to become a blessing to the whole earth.

Do we have such aspirations today? Cherishing such dreams, let us begin to receive the vision from heaven, continually expanding the place of our tent, allowing our Chinese Mingding Destiny to spread throughout the earth, so that people all over the world can receive grace in our Chinese Mingding Destiny community.

Every time I see many people among us being delivered and restored to freedom, and when I see those who could not be delivered in their original churches being delivered when they come among us, I thank God! Thank God for raising up this group of people in this generation, thank God for giving me such good brothers and sisters, raising up among us such a group of people with destiny, so that we can become vessels of God's blessing in this generation, continually expanding the place of our tent, letting more and more blessed people come into the tent, manifesting God's glory.

God is Our Husband, and Our Redeemer is God

Fear not, for you will not be ashamed; be not confounded, for you will not be disgraced; for you will forget the shame of your youth, and the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more. For your Maker is your husband, the Lord of hosts is his name; and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer, the God of the whole earth he is called. (Isaiah 54:4-5)

The past is nothing; no matter what has happened in the past, whatever we have experienced, we still believe that God is doing marvelous things among us. No matter how small and insignificant we see ourselves, we still have a deep desire in our hearts, a desire for God to manifest His glory through us, restoring our faith in God.

God is in our midst. I think in the days to come, we will see God doing great amounts of healing and deliverance through us, because God's arm has never been shortened. God's arm is manifested among us because this is a tent of God's presence, a church of God's presence, a place of God's presence.

If God is our husband, that means God is ours, and we are God's, and we are one with God. The metaphor of husband and wife in Ephesians is not describing earthly husbands and wives, but describing the relationship between the church and Jesus. The church is the body of Jesus Christ, and Jesus is the head of the church. The church is like the wife of Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is like the husband of the church. The church is the body of Jesus Christ, akin to being filled with all things. God wants the church to manifest His wisdom and grace. God has already triumphed for us. If we belong to God today, expansion is God's will, and allowing people to enter God's grace is to enter God's will, and we will have unlimited resources that come from God, and we will no longer lack anything.

If God has already triumphed for us, and God has given us His only begotten Son, will He not also give us all things with Him? When we see our glorious destiny ahead, when we see our position ahead, we know that the shame we endure in this world is nothing, and these things cannot prevent us from entering God's will, and these things cannot prevent us from becoming God's glorious church. We must know that the church is the body of Jesus Christ, and God is our husband.

Perhaps you will say, You are a boy, how can God be your husband? The church is the body of Jesus Christ, referring to the church and Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the husband of the church, and the church is the bride of Jesus Christ. We must understand this relationship clearly; it is not that I myself am the bride of Jesus Christ. We are the church of Jesus Christ, which is the body of Jesus Christ, which is the bride of Jesus Christ. I tell you, what is God's is ours, and we possess unlimited resources. Nothing can prevent us from expanding the place of our tent, because expansion is precisely God's will, which speaks of our position.

Pouring Out Our Lives to God

Let's look at Isaiah 53:12:

Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors. (Isaiah 53:12)

Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong. Our tent must continually expand throughout the world, continually expanding the place of God's tent, expanding the place of our tent. We must know our position. Our Lord Jesus poured out his soul to death, he shall see the fruit of the travail of his soul and be satisfied. In fact, we should know to whom these words are spoken. These words foreshadow the Lord Jesus, and also foreshadow His church.

Brothers and sisters, do not separate the church and the Lord Jesus, nor should you separate yourself and the Lord Jesus. What the Lord Jesus does, we also do, and what we do, the Lord Jesus also does. Just as the Lord Jesus poured out His life to God, we should also pour out ourselves; this is a relationship of oneness. Why did the Lord Jesus pour out Himself? Because the Lord Jesus wanted to become one who would divide a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong.

The gospel preached in this generation has changed somewhat, emphasizing that they are not the Lord Jesus, but they are in a state of separation from the Lord Jesus. Today, our Chinese Mingding Destiny emphasizes oneness with the Lord Jesus. We emphasize that the Lord Jesus is ours, and we are also the Lord Jesus'. Just as the Lord Jesus poured out Himself, we should also pour out ourselves. We are to become a blessing to the whole earth, and only connection with the Lord Jesus can expand the place of the tent. The whole earth will see God's glory through us. When God manifests his mighty arm through us, the glory of God is revealed. Are you willing to pour out your life to God? Today, let us expand our hearts, begin to seize God's promises, experience God's wonders, and begin to pay the price for your destiny, taking on our destiny in this generation, and becoming a blessing to the world.

Conclusion

In Isaiah 54:1:

Sing, O barren one, who did not bear; break forth into singing and cry aloud, you who have not been in labor! For the children of the desolate one will be more than the children of her who is married, says the Lord. (Isaiah 54:1)

Where do those without a husband come from? They are born of God, and those born of God belong to God. We, these spiritual children, must enter God's tent together, entering God's glory. We, these spiritual children, are God's inheritance. We are to possess nations, and have people dwell in desolate cities. Originally desolate cities, spiritually desolate cities, are all what we should possess.

Today, as we look at churches around the world, wherever there are Chinese churches, they are flourishing. This is precisely our Chinese era, our Chinese era of preaching the gospel, our Chinese era of taking on destiny, our Chinese era of becoming a blessing to all nations and all peoples on earth. We are to give birth to more spiritual children for God, so that this generation will be filled with God's glory, and we will surely possess nations.

Recently, I have been in contact with several pastors whose churches are very desolate. They come among us, wanting at all costs to inherit our Chinese Mingding Destiny theological system. Today, I want to tell you:

For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed, says the Lord, who has compassion on you. (Isaiah 54:10)

In overflowing anger for a moment I hid my face from you, but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you, says the Lord, your Redeemer. (Isaiah 54:8)

Just as we have experienced coming out of desolate days, today, whoever hears me sharing in this way, you can also come out of these desolate days, because that is God's original intention. Our God, who is our Maker, He is our husband, the Lord of hosts, and the Holy One of Israel is our Redeemer, He will be called the God of the whole earth.

Today, know that God's love will not leave us, and in this generation, turn back to God, building a glorious tent according to His words, and may this tent continually expand to the east, west, south, and north, continually expanding to the left and to the right, may the whole earth be filled with God's glory because of your and my selfless dedication and complete offering to God, this is God's promise!

Look, we expand to the left and to the right, we stand where we stand, just like Abraham, looking to the east, west, south, and north. All that we see, God has given to us, to become our inheritance. Do you have such faith today, do you have such aspirations, coming out of a narrow state and entering into the destiny God has for us?

May God bless everyone!
