1. Introduction
Today, listening to Sister Esther's testimony, my eyes welled up. For the past few years, I have been doing the impossible. I know that turning the impossible into the possible means nothing is impossible with God. Every time I encounter the impossible, all things are possible for one who believes. Jesus can even resurrect the dead; nothing is impossible with God.
Like what Brother Wang Fan just shared, one sister had three children all born with cerebral palsy. But I am about to turn this situation around. The Jesus we believe in is the one who turns the impossible into the possible, and the possible into reality.
Our God is a God of resurrection from the dead; with God, all things are possible. Nothing is impossible in this world; with God, all things are possible. A mother brought her child to me; he was a normal child, but his exam results were poor. In Singapore, he would play computer games, even with a fractured finger.
Begin to muster courage and faith, turning the impossible into the possible! This child blamed his mother for not raising him well. Another misbehaved child came to my office and said, Look how fat I am, it's all my mom's fault for feeding me so much. Later, this game-addicted child suffered from insomnia, initially sleeping at 2 AM, then 4 AM, and eventually not at all. When they came to me, I knew this wouldn't do. Reason dictated it was impossible, but my faith in God told me nothing is impossible. So, I started training him.
When Sister Esther brought her child to us, the child's eyes were dull. He might still need to count on his fingers for math problems within 10. But I believe in solving people's problems with faith; faith often transforms lives. Deep down, I really wanted to transform him. Over the past few months, we drove out the demons from him. This child was originally a normal child, very lively before elementary school, but later he was labeled as an abnormal child, and he became very self-conscious. But I believe, with my faith, this is a normal child; many children have been corrupted by the education system. Later, the child began to work normally every day, and after a few months, his life underwent tremendous transformation.
Imitate the Lord Jesus, turning the impossible into the possible. Each of our brothers and sisters should emulate the Lord Jesus, turning the impossible into the possible. God wants to raise us up among us; all things are possible for one who believes. We must remove the impossible from within us. Remove the disbelief in our hearts.
The story of the Foolish Old Man Removing the Mountains is well known. He believed he could move the mountains, and God sent two angels to take them away. The great leader Chairman Mao often quoted this saying: Faith can move mountains. Each of us needs faith. We need miracles. The child in today's testimony met me and was transformed. In fact, there are many testimonies of people meeting God around me. I thank God that God has never abandoned us when our faith is small because:
A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice; (Isaiah 42:3)
Whenever someone comes to me with a problem, my favorite thing to say is: Come and pray with me: I believe that God has a wonderful plan for my life, I believe that God will give me a wonderful future, I believe that the current state of decline will be reversed. This sentence has transformed countless people. I believe that God will transform each of us, and brothers and sisters should also believe.
Everything requires faith: running a business requires faith, going to school requires faith, raising children requires faith. Faith can unleash a person's potential. You know that many people only utilize 1% of their capabilities. How can the other 99% be tapped? It is released through faith in God.
I often use God's words to build up people's faith. Although many people have left the church after experiencing God's wonders with me, I still believe that God wants to manifest His glory in this generation through us.
2. Scripture:
“'If you can'? said Jesus. Everything is possible for one who believes. (Mark 9:23)
Are you willing to believe that you can become an instrument in God's hands? If you can believe, all things are possible for one who believes. I hope I can replicate many versions of myself in this generation because I find that there are many things I cannot finish, but with you, you can preach the gospel of God, which is the gospel of power. Jesus gives us this promise:
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)
3. Prayer:
Lord Jesus, You say that all things are possible for those who believe. We come before You and say: Lord, I believe, I am willing to believe that You have a wonderful will in this generation, to let me shoulder my destiny, to be a blessing to many people, to transform people's lives, so that Your glory may be praised, Amen!
4. Scripture Background:
The Lord Jesus took Peter, James, and John up the mountain and prophesied about His resurrection from the dead. After they came down the mountain, Jesus saw many people arguing below, and He asked, What are you arguing about?
A man in the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech. Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not.” “You unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “how long must I stay with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.” So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth. Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” “From childhood,” he answered. “It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.” “'If you can’? said Jesus. Everything is possible for one who believes.” (Mark 9:17-23)
What did Jesus say? He commanded the mute spirit to come out. He said:
“You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.” The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, “He’s dead.” But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up. After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer.” (Mark 9:25-29)
This child was terribly tormented by the demon. The child's father also knew that this was the work of a demon. But today, if this were to happen, the child would be taken to a hospital and given some related medication. It's not that medication cannot solve the problem, but it cannot solve the root of the problem.
If you can'? said Jesus. Everything is possible for one who believes. (Mark 9:23)
If you can believe, all things are possible for one who believes. Then the child was healed, and the deaf and mute spirit came out. This is the background of this passage. This event happened miraculously. The child was terribly tormented by the demon, but if he were taken to a hospital today, the doctor would diagnose him with a condition and prescribe medication. If the medication could solve the problem, then these problems should disappear today. The key is the essence of the problem. The father knew that his child had a problem with a demon, and Jesus said that all things are possible for one who believes. Jesus commanded the deaf and mute spirit to come out. This is a miraculous word. The dialogue between the disciples and Him is very interesting: why can't we do it, but you can?
5. All things are possible is a spiritual truth.
Because the essence of the matter has not been grasped, the problem has not been solved, and the spiritual essence has not been recognized, then the problem is solved because all things are possible for one who believes. The key is that the disciples had no faith and were constantly debating, Why this, why that? Explanations cannot solve the problem and are useless. All truths are absolute, and laws and principles must have absoluteness.
For example, Newton's law of universal gravitation works well under normal speeds. The characteristics of truth include exclusivity, necessity, and absoluteness. If you use a calculator, 1 plus 1 must equal 2; this is exclusive. There was a famous mathematician, Chen Jingrun, who studied Goldbach's conjecture and proved that 1 plus 1 equals 2. Today, let's do an experiment: some believers can, and some believers cannot. There was once a story about a witch who wanted to enter the city to kill people, but more than 300 people died the next day. In fact, more than 300 people were scared to death because they thought they might be the ones to be killed.
So, you need to know one thing: if one person cannot be healed, many people often think that person is me. It cannot be sometimes this way and sometimes that way. It's like stepping on the brakes while driving; it cannot be that they work sometimes and don't work at other times. There is a very interesting sentence in the Bible: all things are possible for one who believes. Believing is receiving, and you will surely receive. So many people who come to our church are healed because of people's faith. Once someone cannot be healed, it will be corrupted. Once the truth has exceptions, faith will be corrupted. Believing can solve many problems. All things are possible for one who believes without exception, whether it is financial distress or physical illness; everything can be completely resolved. These signs will accompany those who believe. I have written more than thirty books, all about the truth of faith. The Bible says that everyone who came to Jesus was healed. Why is it so absolute? Because everyone who comes to God is healed, and everyone who comes to us is healed, so many people are healed. Once people's faith has some exceptions, it is immediately corrupted and runs to the side of disbelief. The spiritual truth is that all things are possible for one who believes. This is what Jesus told us, and we believe in Jesus. If the truth has exceptions, faith is easily corrupted.
6. Why Can Jesus Say That All Things Are Possible for Those Who Believe?
Therefore, brothers and sisters, begin to understand that those born of God's promises are of God, and the reason that the impossible becomes possible is faith. Faith is a choice to believe in God, a deliberate decision. We must know to draw upon God's promises according to His word. Everyone should yearn for all the promises in the entire Bible to be theirs. This is an extraordinary thing. The things that God has already promised us in the Bible, we dare not claim,不敢在神的支票本上填写 (dare not fill in God's checkbook), which is very lamentable. I dare to fill it in. What was originally impossible must become possible, children with cerebral palsy must be transformed, and those with illnesses must be healed. People may say that I am more intelligent, but no, it is because of faith. I choose to believe, that's all. Yesterday, when my classmate heard my mother practicing calligraphy, he wanted to buy a blank water calligraphy practice book. This water is used to write characters, it is transparent, but it can be written on repeatedly, a very creative thing. This is originally something impossible becoming possible. In fact, this colleague came to me when he was very ill, and then I prayed for him, and he was healed. Thank God I blessed him, and he blessed me as well.
After leaving that place, they passed through Galilee, and he did not want anyone to know it. Because he was teaching his disciples, he said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise.” (Mark 9:30-31)
Our Jesus demonstrates to us that all things are possible for those who believe. So what is Jesus doing? He is looking for those who have faith, considering it precious. Faith is in the heart, and those who have faith are extraordinary people. Those who have faith can transform the lives of others. God is God, and God has Mingding Destiny. He rose from the dead. Jesus has set an example for us. Jesus is looking for those who have faith.
7. What Exactly Do We Believe?
Now many people place a heavy emphasis on believing in the Apostles' Creed. It's not that I don't believe it, but I feel that that thing is not very useful. What do we believe? We believe in the teachings of the entire Bible. What do we believe? We believe in everything that God has spoken. We must understand what it means to clarify everything that comes out of God's mouth. At the time, I didn't understand either, so I prayed and asked God because it was too difficult, and I didn't understand. Then, after praying, in fact, this faith is a system. Once you organize a system, you will understand. We must know that the spiritual world is real, and all problems come from the spiritual realm. Jesus has prepared grace for us, and the great power of resurrection tramples on the power of Hades.
God is restoring His Mingding Destiny in this era. Since the Reformation by Martin Luther, He has been continuously restoring His glory, continuously manifesting Himself. I am very fortunate to be used by God in this era. I am also very happy to be able to serve God in this way and to organize a complete system of faith called Chinese Liu's Mingding Destiny. I believe that this set of theological system will have a profound impact in the future era. We believe in the Holy Spirit, believe in the teachings of the entire Bible, we believe that Jesus can do it, and we can do it too, as long as we choose to believe in God, constantly pray, and enter into Mingding Destiny.
And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” (Matthew 16:18-19)
Jesus Christ wants to build the church on the rock, give the keys to the church, and what is bound on earth will be bound in heaven. We believe that the glory that God wants to manifest in the church will be greater than the previous glory. We believe that the promises in the Bible can be obtained through the victorious church.
This is the era for us Chinese to obtain Mingding Destiny. This era is the era for us Chinese to be transformed. Today, brothers and sisters, must know that our faith is a complete system, a very real faith. We believe in establishing a holy, unified church. We believe that God will manifest His glory more in this era. God will use the disciples who respond to His call to harvest the crops. These words will be expressed in my book. I believe that not a single word of God will be abolished. Where did these systems come from? They came from prayer, reading the Bible. We believe, and then we act, and God is with us. Instead of arguing like the disciples of God, we just believe and then practice what God has commanded. Not only can it solve problems, but it also brings a profound impact on the future era. We believe that we can do things through Jesus Christ. We believe that we can resist the devil through God.
8. How Exactly Do We Believe?
We believe that the Holy Spirit fills us, we overcome through Jesus, and we believe that today's church returns to the heart of Jesus, and that God's church should be built on the rock. Our faith is organizing faith, not personal spiritual practice. Believe in all the promises in the Bible. Our foundation is the word of God. We believe in building a holy, glorious, and unified church. Our foundation is the word of God, organizing the word of God into a complete system, which will be very real. Not a single word of God will be abolished. We believe that God has Mingding Destiny for all of us. How to believe? Many people don't know how to believe. Among all of God's creations, the most wonderful is the seed. Living faith is useful, and dead faith is useless. If your faith is the faith of cooked rice, there is no benefit. The faith of a mustard seed is small but alive. Although the seed of a mustard is very small, it is alive. We must completely deal with passive theological concepts and have active faith. Don't have cooked faith, once eaten and excreted, it's gone. Saul killed David, and David lifted his legs and ran, which is active faith, instead of waiting to be killed. Passive faith is a very poisonous thing. Jacob also has active faith. Today we must be flexible, proactive, and constantly try. This is living faith, don't do nothing.
Have a faith to persevere and overcome. The effect of faith that persists to the end. We must carry a faith of never giving up on ourselves. Ghosts related to snakes need to be prayed for longer. Deal with the discernment of good and evil inside, deal with all the considerations of the flesh, and deal with the environment inside. Our God, is the God of Jacob, faith is active faith, constantly trying, even if Abraham gave birth to Ishmael, although born of the flesh, God still gave him a name, we should not casually comment on Abraham. If there is mustard seed faith in the heart, it will be released. Living faith is faith that fights to the end: don't be like those disciples, after praying to cast out demons, it doesn't work, so they argue, which is useless. I prayed and fought for my mother for 5 months. Before, she could only lie in bed, but now she can walk 1 kilometer without any problems.
My sister and I prayed for my mother, carrying a faith of never giving up. My mother has experienced many illnesses, and once experienced heart failure, with her heart beating only 20 times a minute, but we prayed for my mother for 8 hours, and this situation was reversed. Even if we had given up after 7.5 hours of prayer, we would not have been able to turn it around. This is like the faith of the Foolish Old Man who moved the mountain. The Foolish Old Man is a person who earnestly does practical things. He did not do nothing, but moved the mountain one shovel at a time, unwilling to give up.
We are not because of what we do, but because of what we believe. Because of believe Jesus, continually cast out demons, pray in tongues, practice from small things, read the word of God and then go and do it, believe without any reason, no longer argue, no longer think deeply. No longer ask the Lord (as if the Lord is unwilling to give us), but believe that the Lord has already given us. We are willing, this is active faith, imitating the faith of Paul. Paul once faced many difficulties and was tempered by the environment. If someone asks: Did the Lord call you? Why do you encounter so many difficulties even after calling you? Wouldn't that ruin the gospel? It is because in the environment, Paul also knows God's will more.
9. Summary: Remove the Impossible from Our Minds
Brothers and sisters, we must completely remove the idea of the impossible from our minds, strive to pursue being like Jesus, and with such a yearning, you will become more and more like Jesus. Bringing people out of problems, with such faith, you will experience great transformation in this era. If you believe, there will be such a change!
I will lead everyone in a prayer: Lord Jesus, I thank you for giving me this great and precious faith. I believe that you will transform my life. You said that all things are possible for those who believe, and I am such a person of faith! Amen!
