Introduction

Good morning. Now, let's delve into the third lecture of "Sharing the Benefits of the Gospel," titled "Healing All Kinds of Diseases." If there's one straightforward reason for me to trust in the Lord Jesus, it's the healing of illnesses. Anyone tormented by sickness would agree with me. Those oppressed by demons and frequently afflicted by diseases know how detestable illness is. I detest disease, so when I see people tormented by it, regardless of the cause or curse, I long for them to receive the benefits of this Gospel.

Deep down, the God I know is a God full of grace and mercy; the God I know is a God who heals all kinds of diseases. How wonderful it is to believe in the Lord! Believing in the Lord can be like taking medicine, eating food, and spending money. Believing in the Lord can also bring many, many benefits.

Some people might say, "Aren't you being too utilitarian?" What's wrong with being straightforward with God? If I'm not utilitarian, what else would I want to give God? I am too insignificant; besides receiving, I am nothing. I just come before God to receive. Unlike many people who always want to give God something, I just want to receive benefits from God. Thank God, He likes people like me, so I receive a lot. Not only do I receive a lot, but I also enable many people to receive this grace.

Many brothers and sisters couldn't get healed no matter how they prayed in other churches, but they get better when they pray among us! It's very hard for sick people; that kind of hardship is truly unbearable. So, in my faith, the Gospel I believe in is the Gospel of healing all kinds of diseases. This aligns with the Bible, and it is precisely this belief that has allowed many people among us to receive the benefits of the Gospel and be healed. Not only those I know, but also those around me have received the benefits of this Gospel. I have many testimonies to share.

In the early years when I established the church, it seemed unremarkable on the surface, just a small church. Some brothers and sisters were quite interesting. When others asked, "Which church do you attend?" they would say, "Oh, don't mention it, I'm in a small church." After they said that, I would think, "What kind of brain is that?" They had forgotten all the grace they had received among us.

One brother had a herniated disc. He came among us, and I led him in prayer, and he was healed. It was our God who healed him; I don't want to steal God's glory, so don't accuse me of that. Another sister also had lumbar and cervical pain, which was both tiring and uncomfortable. Actually, any part of the body breaking down is enough to give you a hard time, whether it's kidney disease, liver disease, or stomach disease, they are all very troublesome. Toothache may not be a serious illness, but it can be excruciating when it flares up. This sister had lumbar and cervical issues for decades. Without much prayer, I just talked to her briefly, and she got better.

Yesterday, while eating, I counted the people around me who were eating together, and everyone had received many of God's graces from me. Why? Because the Gospel I believe in is a Gospel of receiving benefits. Why would we do something without a return? The return for believing in the Lord must be very generous. In distant places, many people have also received the benefits of the Gospel through me.

Recently, a sister with many illnesses followed the whirlwind prayer recordings, praying one after another non-stop, and all her physical ailments were healed. After a while, she had a deeper pursuit; she wanted to learn and gain more understanding. The benefit of being healed from illness is good, but it seems like her spirit was not satisfied.

After listening to my sermons online, she contacted us wanting to participate in gatherings, hoping to build God's glorious church with us. She also shepherds a group of little sheep, leading them to listen to my Bible studies, sermons, and prayers. What is the reason for this? It is her faith that saved her. Whoever believes that God heals you will surely be healed; whoever believes that God makes you rich will surely become rich; whoever believes that God makes you prosper will surely prosper. Because our God is inherently such a God.

Someone is typing, saying: "I've had migraines since I was a child, a disease for over ten years, and it got better at the Chinese Mingding Doctrine." Another person says: "I've had cervical spondylosis for eighteen years since I was a child, and it got better at Mingding Doctrine." Yet another person says: "I have so many illnesses that I'm tormented and scared. It got better at Mingding Doctrine." If I were to read all these typed messages, I wouldn't need to preach. I truly hope that those of you listening to my sharing among us now can also receive the benefits of this Gospel.

Just now, while I was leading in prayer, there was a patient with uremia. Uremia is really painful; urine cannot be excreted, and the kidneys are damaged. It's actually just a demon. I guarantee you, and God also guarantees you, that you will definitely be healed, because all who come to Jesus are healed. No matter how many generations of Christians you are, if you turn back to God and believe that your illness will be healed, you will surely be healed.

Some people often don't have time for gatherings. They have time for gatherings when they are sick, but after they get better, they give their time to money, going to make money. I often lament people's foolishness. They have time for God when they are sick, but after receiving grace and benefits, they no longer have time to be set apart for God. Wouldn't they receive even more grace and benefits? Actually, God doesn't need your grace; it is you who need grace. Can we dedicate the time we would spend in the future on the sickbed, the pain on the sickbed, to God? That would be wonderful! We need to use our brains.

The topic I am talking about now is actually a repetition of old themes, but I tell you, it is a very important benefit: healing all kinds of diseases. When a part of your body breaks down, God repairs it for you. Why? Because you are created by God, and it is easy for God to repair a part. Like when a BYD car breaks down, you go to BYD, and BYD can definitely provide you with the parts. Our God created us, so when we return to God for repairs, it will definitely work.

Brothers and sisters, let's be smart and never be foolish. You have time when you are sick, but you don't have time when you are not sick. What will you do about your future illnesses? Don't be like the Israelites, who were all killed by God in the wilderness. That's too terrible. God gives you grace again and again, but people don't believe. I have a hope that everyone can be wise.

What is the most important characteristic of a wise person? When I ask, many people can't answer, even though I have said it many times. Now, can you memorize this answer? It is investment and return. Do you want a high return? Of course, you do. Is there a return for investing in stocks in this world? There is some return. Is there a return for investing? There is a return. But the best investment is investing in Jesus Christ. There is risk in investing in stocks and funds, but there is no risk in investing in Jesus Christ. That's wonderful.

The best thing for a person is to know God and receive the benefits of this Gospel. So, what I do is to share the benefits of this Gospel with everyone. Am I stupid? Would I do something without a return? If I did something without a return, I would be mentally ill. I want everyone to become smart, and I myself must also become smart.

Being healed from illness is not something profound; as long as you believe, you will surely receive it. You don't need to give God a pig or a roasted chicken. You don't need to offer anything. If you go to the hospital, you have to prepare hundreds of thousands of dollars. You will surely receive it as long as you offer your belief, because it is God's will. Although God knows that you may later abandon God, and God also knows that you may later not want to give your time to God, God still heals you at this moment, because our God is full of grace and mercy.

When I say that this Sunday I will talk about "Healing All Kinds of Diseases," many people always want to add conditions to being healed from illness. The Chinese Mingding Doctrine never morally kidnaps anyone. If you are healed, you can do whatever you want. I won't call you and say, "Why did you leave?" If you leave, you leave. I won't call. Our pastors don't call either. If he calls you and it bothers you, it's not something I arranged; it's something he did on his own.

Brothers and sisters must know that if you add anything other than faith to the matter of being healed, it is not the word of the Bible. Think about it, if your leg is broken and you have to do something for God to be healed, that would be ruined. You can't do something for God in your whole life. God has everything and doesn't need your little trinkets. So, never add any conditions. Just let him have faith, and he can receive it.

As for what he does after being healed, if he is a fool and loves to go wherever he wants, let him go. If he is healed and thinks that Jesus is a guarantee, he can enter into Jesus Christ to take some benefits, and he can take some benefits tomorrow, and he can take some benefits the day after tomorrow, and he can enjoy the benefits of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for a lifetime. That would be amazing! I tell you, there are thousands upon thousands of people who are truly healed by Jesus, but only a small group truly want to follow Jesus.

I was thinking, doesn't Jesus know they will be like this? He knows. But God still healed them. Because our God is such a God, He is full of grace and mercy, and our God is the God who heals all kinds of diseases. You don't need to give Jesus anything else; there are no other additional conditions. Those who don't believe will not receive it. Even if you are a Christian for several generations, with many illnesses, if you believe you will be healed, you will surely be healed simply by believing. Our God is full of grace and mercy.

Because disease is a spiritual matter, all kinds of diseases are related to various spiritual demons. So, the salvation accomplished by the Lord Jesus is the Gospel of healing and casting out demons. But why has the church now become a Gospel that doesn't heal or cast out demons? I don't know. I wonder if they are preaching another Gospel?

Why were you healed among us? Because I didn't add any conditions. I just wanted you to receive this benefit. I didn't say, "You have to donate first." No. Is that how a swindler is? A swindler is not like that; our God is like that. Disease is definitely not a good thing, and it is definitely not a blessing. I believe that our God is a God of healing, and I will never preach such a sermon, "If God doesn't heal you, do you still believe?" God is my God who heals, and this is not something that can be compromised. The salvation of our Lord Jesus includes healing and casting out demons.

Many years ago, a sister came to me. She had a chronic problem with diarrhea. She didn't change much, but she got better after coming here. She shared with me that the topic of her pastor's sermon was, "If the Lord Jesus doesn't heal you, do you still believe?" What do you believe in then? You believe in the Gospel of not being healed.

I tell you, carrying the cross is for our bodies to be redeemed, which is to deal with the lusts of our flesh. If our bodies are all redeemed, will we still get sick? We shouldn't. We don't get a body full of diseases and call it carrying the cross. That's not what carrying the cross produces; that's what not carrying the cross produces. Brothers and sisters, let's share the benefits of this Gospel together now.

I previously gave twelve lectures on "The Gospel of Jesus Christ," and then six lectures on "The Gospel of the Apostle Paul." In this series, we will talk about "Sharing the Benefits of this Gospel," which is the redemption of our bodies. Don't run off to love the world after receiving a little benefit. Continue to receive the benefits of Jesus Christ.

Scripture

Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” (Matthew 9:35-38)

Prayer

Lord Jesus, You traversed cities and villages, teaching in synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom of heaven. Lord Jesus, You not only proclaimed the gospel of the kingdom, but also healed all kinds of diseases. God, we thank You for Your grace and mercy. God, let us believe according to what You have said, that You are the God who heals us. You have already borne the stripes for us, and we shall surely be healed by the salvation You have accomplished. God, we come before You today to fully receive the benefits of this gospel, so that those among us who are sick may be healed.

May Your glory be revealed, may Your healing power be manifested, and may Your grace and mercy also be displayed. God, I thank You, thank You for giving Jesus Christ to die for us and to die on the cross, so that we can live out the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead through Jesus Christ. May the brothers and sisters among us today receive the benefits of the gospel and receive Your grace. In the name of Jesus Christ! Amen!

Scriptural Background

What is the key? The key lies in imitating Jesus. Now, imitating Jesus has become an uncommon thing. Why? They have found a perfect reason: "I am not Jesus." In fact, the Bible has always told us to imitate Jesus, that is, how Jesus did it, we should do it; what Jesus did, we should do.

How did Jesus do it? Jesus taught people, proclaimed the gospel of the kingdom of heaven, and healed all kinds of diseases. The problem lies here. The gospel that many people preach is no longer the gospel of Jesus Christ. They only have the appearance of Jesus Christ, but they do not fully understand the will of Jesus Christ. This is a tragedy.

I believe in Jesus, I like to read the classics. Write down the phrase "read the classics." The Gospel of Matthew is the first book of the New Testament, that is a classic. Through the classics, we see, "Oh, Jesus did it this way, let's do it this way too." Later, I found that those who came to Jesus were healed. The Bible does say so. It really works, not sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, so this is what I believe.

In fact, when Matthew wrote the Gospel of Matthew, he may not have thought that today's church would be stuck on speaking in tongues and deliverance, let alone that all diseases would be healed. From pastors to members, the situation of not being healed from diseases is common. What happened as a result? They used their experience to replace the word of God, which is the root of the problem. Because he has not seen the healing of diseases, and he does not preach it, and he himself does not get healed when he gets sick.

There was a member whose pig got sick. He said: Pastor, please come and pray for my pig. As a result, the pastor went, which was good, quite diligent. After going, he raised his hands and said: Lord, if You want to heal this pig, heal it; if You don't want to heal this pig, let it die. After a while, the pig really got better.

Then the pastor got sick, and the member went to the hospital to see the pastor, and raised his hands and said: Lord, if You want to heal the pastor, heal him; if You don't want to heal him, let him die. The pastor said: Why are you praying like this? The member said: I learned it from you. That's how our pig was healed. Why was that pig healed? Because that member had great faith. So Jesus said: Your faith has saved you. It was not the pastor's prayer that saved your pig, it was your faith that saved your pig.

When Matthew wrote the Gospel of Matthew, he was afraid that people would change the gospel, changing it to diseases not being healed. Look, Jesus went through cities and villages, teaching in synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom of heaven, not healing all kinds of diseases. It wasn't written that way, it was written that He healed all kinds of diseases, not that He did not heal all kinds of diseases.

So I was thinking, this pastor built a church, and then in the church, when members get sick, he only introduces doctors, and diseases are not healed. Can this member understand? Probably the member is not a Bible-reading member. If it were me, I used to read the Bible a lot in the local church, I read it so much that several copies were worn out, the cardboard was all rotten. My reaction would be: This pastor is not preaching correctly. The Bible says it this way, this way, this way. So brothers and sisters, read the classics.

Matthew may have been moved by the Spirit of God, so he wrote it this way, "and healed all kinds of diseases," deliberately adding this sentence. In fact, in the previous chapter, he had said it before, he was afraid that people didn't hear it clearly, so he said it again. Why? His experience of believing in the Lord is related to this.

Matthew's experience of believing in the Lord is very interesting. Matthew was sitting at the tax booth collecting money. And not far away, there was a paralytic lying there, also collecting money. The paralytic was collecting money on this side, and the tax collector was collecting money on that side. From afar, he saw Jesus walking this way, and someone carried the paralytic on a mat to Jesus, and Jesus said to him: Son, be of good cheer, your sins are forgiven. Arise, take up your mat and go home. As a result, the paralytic stood up from the mat.

I tell you, this Matthew is a smart man. He looked around, "Who is this person?" I ask you, if you saw such a person, what would your reaction be? As a result, a huge impact was produced in Matthew's heart, it was too magical! Then Matthew said: Wow, what kind of authority must this person have in his hands? How powerful must this person be?

I tell you, the Jews have some understanding of the spiritual realm. Don't look at Matthew collecting taxes, he studies a little about the spiritual realm in his spare time. Then he felt, "Wow, this is authority, this is a treasure, this is an expert, a real expert." As a result, Jesus walked over and said: Matthew, follow Me. He got up and followed Jesus.

When I first read the Gospel of Matthew, I didn't quite understand it. Now I finally understand. Jesus said: Follow Me. Then he followed. Does it feel like there is something wrong with this? The reason is here. If nothing happened, and someone said: Follow me. If you followed, that would be a little dangerous.

But Jesus made the paralytic get up and walk. When Matthew saw it, "My God, I saw a person with spiritual authority in his hands. This person is amazing, this person is an expert, I must follow him." As a result, Jesus walked over and said: Matthew, follow Me. As a result, Matthew followed Jesus. I didn't understand when I read the Bible before, but now I understand.

As a result, have you noticed that people like to discuss sin and curses, discuss the concept of sin, the concept of morality, this is particularly obvious. Is this paralytic's sin, or his father's sin, or his ancestor's sin, or his ancestor's ancestor's sin? They like to discuss this. In another passage of scripture, it talks about a blind man, and people discuss whether it was his sin that caused him to be blind, or his father's sin that caused him to be blind. Jesus said it was neither, but to reveal the glory of God.

It's not to say that he really has no sin, in fact, it is inseparable from sin, but our Lord Jesus came, and indeed bore our iniquities, our iniquities were placed on Him. So discussing religious and moral things, but in fact this thing has no power.

At that time, some people said: How did Jesus get a tax collector to follow Him? Why does He like to eat with tax collectors and sinners? The words of Jesus melted our hearts at once. Our God loves mercy, not sacrifice. Our God does not appreciate us praying there, our God appreciates the heart that has the mercy of God inside.

As soon as we talk about the heart of mercy, some people go to the street to help an old lady who has been hit, and as a result, they are blackmailed, and they feel very wronged. The brothers and sisters in their own church are sick, they don't care, they have to go to the street to help someone who is completely unrelated. I am different from these people, I just want to serve the brothers and sisters in front of me well. If he is willing to seek God, I will serve him and share the benefits of this gospel with him. May God have mercy! Our God loves mercy, and we must also have a heart of mercy.

I have to boast in the Lord Jesus, I hate disease very much in my heart. Because when I have a disease, I really want to be healed, I don't want to be in disease. So when I see brothers and sisters in disease, whether it is eyes that are going blind, depression, lumbar spine problems, or cancer, I do my best to serve them. I don't use the concept of sinners to apply, I use God's mercy and God's love. I hope that after everyone has listened, they will also serve according to my example, and then they will all be healed.

There was a sister who had migraines for twenty years. No pastor really served her well. She attended a healing and deliverance conference, and it still hurt when she came back. She attended another conference, and it still hurt when she came back. When she came to me, I prayed for her for five minutes, and she was healed. She asked me: Pastor, why were you able to heal me when you prayed for me, but so many anointed pastors didn't heal me when they prayed for me? I said: Sister, if it didn't work in these five minutes, I would continue to follow up until you were healed.

I ask you, are ghosts afraid of people like me? They must be afraid. When they see it, they think: Oh no, this guy is here, he will persist until the ghost leaves. So they quickly left. Those healing and deliverance conferences, in the stadium, so much noise, if you are healed, you are healed, if you are not healed, you are not healed, that's it. We are a pastoral church, I serve every brother and sister with God's mercy, until they are completely healed.

This person came to Jesus to discuss fasting and prayer. Fasting and prayer is a religious term. As a result, Jesus answered with new wine in new wineskins, which is actually irrelevant. Because fasting and prayer is a religious ritual, Jesus wants to convey a new logic, which is the logic of God. Not the logic of Moses, but the logic of faith, new wine in new wineskins. God has mercy, we come to Jesus, receive His grace, receive His mercy, and we also do the same things as Jesus Christ.

While He spoke, a ruler of the synagogue came and said: My daughter has just died, but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will live. What great faith this is! Jesus went. Before He reached his daughter's house, a woman who had a flow of blood touched Jesus. Jesus looked and said: Your faith has saved you. It is your faith that has saved you. This is new wine in new wineskins, this is the logic of faith.

As long as you believe, you can receive grace. You and I must have such faith. As for whether you later forsake God or not, the relationship is not so close. Our God knows that they will leave later, but God still healed him. I can testify to God about this, and I am not hurt, and our God is not hurt. The ones who are hurt are those fools.

The reason is very simple, our God is through these, revealing His glory, revealing His power, revealing His mercy. It's not because you can give God something that God heals you; it's not because you can't give God something that God doesn't heal you. It's not like that, you just receive it by faith. Before Matthew followed Jesus, he saw miracles, and after following Jesus, he saw even more miracles.

That ruler of the synagogue's child, Jesus went in and took the child's hand, and the child was healed and resurrected from the dead. Why? Because Jesus has authority in the spiritual realm. The child's spirit left the body, so he died. Our spirit leaves our body, and our flesh also dies. But Jesus can take his spirit back from the spiritual realm, and snatch this child back from the hand of death, put him back in his body, and when he pulled his hand, he got up.

What is this logic? What kind of person can have such ability? What kind of person can have such grace? That must be someone who has authority in the spiritual realm. So Jesus Christ proved that He is the Son of God with great power. Now what we believe, our Lord Jesus is mighty!

After a while, two blind men came. I tell you, as Jesus walked this path, oh my goodness, now two blind men, now a paralytic, now a lame man, now someone dying, now someone with a hemorrhage, just like our every Sunday, every Tuesday prayer meeting. As a result, the eyes of the two blind men were also opened.

What did Matthew feel? "Oh my goodness, this is an expert, I followed the right person, my master is so amazing!" Then a mute was healed, and a lame man was healed. This fulfills the words of the Bible, that the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the dead are raised. If you believe in such a God, what would you do?

If I believe in such a God, I would feel that this is a treasure, I would not leave for one lifetime, two lifetimes, I must hold on tightly, I must know what I have gained, this is a great grace. Don't be silly, once the illness is healed, there is no time for gatherings, why? To make money. How come they have time when they make money? When they were sick, they always had time, calling me at two or three in the morning to lead them in prayer, but when they are healed, I call them at 10:30 in the evening, and they say: Teacher, I need to sleep, I have to go to work tomorrow. Isn't that a pity!

The gospel of the kingdom of heaven is the gospel of healing all kinds of diseases. Can you see the return? The return is extremely rich. Some fools mess around, and their lives are like pressing down one gourd and another floating up, busy with this and busy with that, just not wanting to dedicate time to God. As a result, Jesus spoke his heart, what did Jesus say?

Jesus saw many people and had compassion on them, because they were troubled and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd. Why troubled and scattered? Because this world is full of evil spirits. The devil's world has many evil spirits, many demons operating in it. And people do not have an authoritative shepherd who can protect the flock, so they are afflicted by demons with this disease and that disease, this problem and that problem, people have endless problems and endless illnesses in their lives.

So Jesus had compassion on them, people are spiritual beings, but in the spiritual realm, they have no shepherd, no authoritative pastor, so they are scattered and troubled, very hard. Jesus also said: The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. God laments that in our generation, there is also a lack of people who shepherd God's sheep, a lack of pastors.

So if I want to get more benefits, I will build a pastoral church according to God's will, so that God's flock can benefit among us. But the workers are few, we really need to ask the Lord of the harvest to send workers to reap his harvest. What does it mean to reap his harvest? To bring those people back. This is the gospel written by Matthew. Matthew's gospel is the gospel of healing; Matthew's gospel is full of grace and full of compassion; Matthew's gospel is the gospel that diseases are spiritual problems.

God Desires Mercy, Not Sacrifice

Everyone, don't think that your prayers can exchange for anything, don't build your faith on your prayers. Build your faith on God's mercy; build your faith on the stripes that Jesus Christ bore for us; build your faith on God's powerful gospel.

Some people say: Look, I have prayed so much, why haven't I received anything? They think prayer can exchange for grace. Prayer and sacrifice cannot exchange for grace. Why? Because there is no faith inside, nothing works. Originally, our God desires mercy, not sacrifice, not offerings.

Our God did not make any demands before healing you, have you noticed? As long as you come forward with faith, the problem is solved. Because our God is exactly like this, letting you start on a path of faith. What does the Bible say? It's all "Your faith has saved you."

Later, I discovered that the pastors of our church need to continue to improve. Religious flavor does not solve the problem, mercy solves the problem. If you ask me: Why do you lead him in prayer for so long? Because there is a kind of mercy from God in my heart.

There was a cancer patient, a Taiwanese, whose father was a pastor, and he got cancer. Serving him, I put in a lot of effort. Sometimes praying continuously for three hours, eight hours, nine hours. What's going on? He got cancer, and later came among us, and a pastor served him a few times, and he was completely healed. As a result, when I looked for this person again, I couldn't contact him, he was just busy making money.

After a month, all the cancer symptoms came back again, so I took over, and cooperated with other pastors, and I was exhausted. On the last day I served him, I served him for seven or eight hours, he could get out of bed and walk, but all he could think about was money, it was sad. The next morning, at eight o'clock, I made a video call, his eyes were wide open, and I said to his family: Feel him and see if there is still a pulse. He died, and was taken away by demons at night.

Even so, I feel that I have received grace. Because I have mercy from God in my heart, so our service is not for return, we are seeking whether it is in accordance with God's will or not. That is not a religious complex, it is seeing people being afflicted by demons like this, and really wanting to pull them out of here. Later, I discovered that this is not how to do it, so I began to rethink how to have compassion on such people.

Diseases Are Spiritual Problems

Does everyone know that diseases are demons? I can tell you, all diseases are demons, so can medicine work? Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But at Jesus' place, it all works, why? Jesus specializes in solving spiritual problems. Jesus' mercy is mercy in the spiritual world; Jesus' grace is grace in the spiritual world; the benefits of this gospel are all kinds of benefits in the heavenly spiritual world. So living in the world is just a shadow of the spiritual realm.

Why do people get sick? Because in the spiritual realm, if they are allowed to get sick, they get sick. If a little demon in the spiritual realm messes with you, you get sick. If the spirit of cancer comes, people get cancer, if the spirit of fracture comes, they fall and fracture. Disease is a spiritual problem.

Healing Is a Matter of Authority

Why are we so willing to wholeheartedly follow the Lord Jesus? Because it is a matter of authority. When I first believed in the Lord, I thought: I must find the greatest God. It's useless to find a small god, he can't handle many things, I'll find the greatest God who can handle everything. Aren't the diseases in the spiritual realm all taken care of? So healing is just a small demonstration of the authority of Jesus Christ.

Look, this demon listens to Jesus, that demon listens to Jesus, the mute demon listens to Jesus, the blind demon listens to Jesus, the lame demon listens to Jesus, everything listens to Jesus, isn't that a matter of authority? So Jesus Christ used great power to show that he is the Son of God, and you and I believe in Jesus, and we can receive authority in the spiritual realm. I ask you, is it better to indulge the flesh, or to receive this spiritual authority? Why are many people healed when they come among us? Because this place has God's authority.

If that woman with the hemorrhage touched a big tree, do you think she would be healed? If she touched an elephant, would she be healed? If she touched a Pharisee, would she be healed? No. She touched Jesus Christ, and she was healed. Because Jesus Christ has authority in the spiritual realm, once you have faith inside, you can use the authority of Jesus Christ.

So among us, I don't encourage everyone to ask God for healing, because God wants to heal. Don't ask God for healing anymore, as if God doesn't want to heal. Do you understand? Start taking up this spiritual authority and pray with faith, what does the Bible say? Your faith has saved you. This is how the benefits of the gospel are explained. Healing is the healing of all kinds of diseases, it is the healing of all diseases, because all diseases are spiritual problems.

Jesus Christ possesses spiritual authority, all authority in heaven, on earth, and under the earth belongs to my Lord Jesus Christ, now take up this authority and put it into practice. Brothers and sisters must practice, and you will find: Wow! It's so effective. It's not just generally effective. On the road to sharing the benefits of the gospel, we are actually practicing the issue of using spiritual authority.

Your Faith Has Saved You

What does it mean? The problem is unbelief. Why can't your illness be healed? You don't believe. You believe in a set of religion, you don't believe in the authority of Jesus Christ. If you really believe, you will really experience it, not after you do something for Jesus and then receive it, you haven't done anything for Jesus yet, and Jesus doesn't really need you to do anything for him, he has everything. As long as you believe and receive, that's enough.

Some brothers and sisters, who seem to be Christians for many years, seem to be very enthusiastic in serving, need to reflect on whether our thoughts inside have been polluted a lot? We think that serving is giving out, no, serving is receiving.

When you come before God, don't think about exchanging something with God, you must receive with faith. The woman with the hemorrhage touched Jesus and was healed. Jesus said: Daughter, your faith has saved you. Now, first you must believe, and second, you must believe in Jesus Christ. So your faith has saved you. If you go to another church, and you also believe very much, just like touching a big tree, will God's power come upon you? No. That is why we want to build the body of Jesus Christ.

Building the body of Jesus Christ, God's Spirit dwells among us, we receive this spiritual authority, and when you come among us, you receive with faith. It's that simple. If that place is not a church where God is present, but a church where demons are present, then what will happen if you touch it? Touching it is bad luck, if you didn't have cancer originally, you will get cancer.

God Wants Us All to Become His Workers

If you have received God's grace, then what? Do you want to learn from Matthew? Matthew became God's worker, and then let God's grace and favor be transmitted through this Matthew, that would be amazing. I think among us, I have received more grace than everyone else. Why? The reason is very simple, I have become God's worker.

When we look around, what do we see? We see many who are troubled and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd. They may be attending church, but they are without a shepherd, troubled and scattered. If our church is to develop, and suddenly three thousand or five thousand people come, I can't find so many pastors to shepherd them. I really spend all my time training pastors and co-workers, that's what I do.

If a large group of people really comes, what do we do? We can't handle it, we can't serve them, sometimes I'm really anxious. I think God is also anxious, seeing so many people troubled and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd. So what do we do? The harvest is plentiful, but the working pastors are few, so we ask God to raise up more pastors among us, so that we can share the benefits of this gospel with these people. I tell you, the pastor receives more benefits from the gospel than the people who are shepherded.

May our hearts be inspired again, inspired by God's mercy, to become pastors. Eager to grow, eager to be trained, and then share the benefits of this service with these healed people. You are causing them to be healed, and they are being healed; you are causing them to receive grace, and you are the one who receives more grace. Brothers and sisters, may everyone be inspired again! Eager to grow, eager to be trained, so that we can become God's workers, to shepherd God's flock.

May God bless everyone! Amen!
