Q1: How to avoid school violence?

A: School violence is very common now. Christian parents often ask me if their children will suffer from school violence? Will people encounter bad things in their lives? Yes, they will. Because all disasters are closely related to the spiritual realm, and those who commit school violence have a close relationship with evil spirits.

Later, I gradually discovered that the chance of a spiritually strong person being attacked by evil spirits is greatly reduced. Christians, by all means, must be strong in the spirit, so that disasters directed by the devil will stay away from us. If the devil stays away from us, school violence will be far away from us. But this is not absolute. For example, although Joseph was subjected to violence by his brothers and sold into slavery in Egypt, it did not affect the fulfillment of God's good plan for Joseph. Joseph eventually became the one who saved his family because Joseph's destiny was in God's hands. Therefore, no matter what we encounter, it cannot affect God's plan for us. I encourage everyone to rise up and be a spiritually strong person.

Q2: Why does the teacher say that he often experiences God, but also says not to boast about experiencing God?

A: What I mean is do not boast about yourself. It does not mean that you are so good just because you have experienced God, but because God wants us to experience God more. Experiencing God is indispensable for Christians. I encourage everyone to desire to experience God more. The focus is not on boasting about ourselves. What is our purpose? Our purpose is not to show off for the sake of showing off, but to edify others through letting them experience God.

Q3: Is spiritual power related to the degree of seeing through vanity?

A: Spiritual power is related to faith, and faith is related to believing in God's Word, that is, spiritual power is related to faith. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well. (《Mark》16:17-18)

Faith is related to being filled with the Holy Spirit, and being filled with the Holy Spirit is related to spiritual power, and has little to do with the degree of seeing through vanity.

Q4: How can one experience eternal life?

A: Christians do not receive eternal life by feeling, but by faith.

Q5: How can one truly see through life?

A: First, read 《Ecclesiastes》. Second, observe, understand, and summarize more, and you will find that many things are actually meaningless. The reason why we cannot see through life is because we have not laid in a coffin. When you feel tangled and cannot see through it, I encourage you to lie in a coffin, and you will truly see through it.

Q6: How can one continuously improve one's spiritual height and constantly know God in understanding?

A: Knowing God in understanding is a continuous cycle. As we continue to do according to God's Word and continue to seek, people will gradually understand God's Word. Through the words that God reveals to us, our understanding of God will become clearer and clearer, and our spiritual level will naturally be higher. Height is a matter of understanding. If you do not understand or know in understanding, your spiritual height will naturally not increase.

Q7: The teacher is talking every day. Why are there so many topics?

A: Because I am constantly researching and learning. You will find that one difference between me and others is that I talk about the freshest content. The same theme, but with different content. Why do I always have new content to share? Because I have been seeking and exploring to know God more, and there is no end to knowing God.

Q8: How to glorify God in the workplace?

A: First, you must be a person with the Tao. If a person does not have the Tao and does not know God, how can he glorify God? It will be very difficult. Regarding how to glorify God in the workplace? I think only like Jesus can glorify God. We must see how Jesus acted. Jesus' ministry only did two things: healing the sick, casting out demons, and preaching. Many people think that they are living well and will glorify God very much, but this is not the case. What I am saying may not be completely correct, but I think glorifying God is doing according to God's Word. Some people are do-gooders, with gentle and kind personalities, simply the benchmark of good people, but they are not like Jesus, they only say nice things. Do you think this is called glorifying God? It is not.

Some people also say that we should glorify God with our lives. There is no such record in the Bible. Some people think they are glorifying God, but in my opinion, these people are not as glorifying God as some of the monks I know. Some Christians may not be able to accept what I am saying. We glorify God like Jesus, and those who come to us with despair will experience a reversal in their lives.

What we preach today is not a helpless gospel, but a gospel full of God's power. This is what it means to manifest God's glory like Jesus.

Q9: How can one become spiritually strong?

A: Firstly, allow the Spirit of God to fill us more. The more we pray in tongues, the stronger our spiritual power and our ability to combat the devil become. Secondly, enhance our understanding of God and of things. That is, we need to constantly improve our understanding of all daily matters. The extent to which we understand the truth is our spiritual insight. We should view everything with spiritual insight, not with the eyes of the world. Those who do so will have an increasingly clear understanding of spiritual truth and an increasing knowledge of God, and thus their spiritual power will grow stronger. The foundation of both these points is faith.

Q10: Why do some Christians repeatedly talk about things that happened decades ago?

A: Repeating stories is not the issue; the issue is not consistently experiencing God. Why repeat? Because they have not experienced new things. Our God is a God who does new things, so we must constantly experience God and have fresh testimonies, so that we do not need to talk about events that happened decades ago.

Q11: Some people live blessed lives and everything goes smoothly for them, but they do not believe in the Lord. Does God let such people go to hell comfortably?

A: The person asking this question has a somewhat shallow perspective. What does being blessed look like in your eyes? Simply having a good life. But many people have good lives. When Joseph was a slave, his brothers also had good lives. Having a good life does not necessarily mean anything. Living in this world and living just for the sake of living, and then living comfortably, these are not the key things. The answer to your question is affirmative. If these people do not go to hell comfortably, where else would they go? If you question whether this is true, I can only truthfully answer that I do not know, as I have not seen it myself.

Q12: Is it appropriate for us to entertain and give gifts in society?

A: One should conduct oneself as a normal person. What is a normal person like? It is someone who has normal social interactions. However, if you are entertaining and giving gifts in order to get something done, then you should consider whether it is necessary to entertain and give gifts to get things done. Do you think the people you are entertaining and giving gifts to do not know you want something done? This is questionable.

I also entertain and give gifts, but I never do so to ask for favors. If it is a normal social interaction, giving a gift is perfectly normal. But some people like to engage in meaningless banter with friends. I believe that doing things is not about the formality of entertaining and giving gifts, but about what we are actually doing. If the essence is not grasped, it is not about whether something is right or wrong, but about understanding what we are actually doing.

Q13: I feel distant from the stories in the 《Bible》. How can I experience the miracles and wonders in the 《Bible》?

A: Is experiencing God not a very easy thing among us? Experiencing God is through faith, and signs and wonders will accompany those who believe. How is it possible not to experience them?

Q14: What is the difference between experiencing God and experiencing the spirit of a weasel?

A: This is a strange question. What does it mean to experience the spirit of a weasel? There is an evil spirit that calls itself a weasel, and it hides very deeply in people's lives (shamans are actually possessed by the evil spirit of weasels). The weasel has done bad things in people's lives for a long time, and many people do not even know about the existence of this evil spirit. So, it is not that the weasel lets you experience it, but that the Spirit of God is moving, and it cannot hide, and it manifests in some brothers and sisters (refer to the descriptions in the four Gospels for the manifestation of evil spirits). Therefore, all things are done by the Spirit of God in us.

Q15: Is doctrine truth? Is truth doctrine?

A: Truth is first and foremost a doctrine, but whether a doctrine is truth is not necessarily the case.

For example, there are many doctrines in business management. Is that truth? The truth mentioned in the 《Bible》 is the revelation of God and is not on the same level as business management. Is business management truth? Some say it is, and some say it is not. You need to judge for yourself.

Q16: If I have to work on the Lord's Day, can I attend the gathering?

A: Attend if you want to. If you are a overly religious brother or sister, you need to deal with these religious ideas.

Learn to grasp the essence of things. For example, is it okay to lie? For religious people, absolutely not. But here's the thing, Rahab hid two Israelite spies, and when asked, Where are the two spies?, Rahab lied. And Jacob, he deceived his father. Are you Esau? Jacob replied, I am Esau. Isn't that a blatant lie? But the Bible does not show God criticizing Rahab, nor does it show God criticizing Jacob. The key is faith. If the workplace allows you to attend the gathering, you can attend or not, make your own choice.
