Introduction

Good morning, everyone. I am very happy to meet you online again. In the last session, we talked about the victorious church as the foundation of healing and deliverance. Today, I want to talk to you again about how, when we encounter many problems in life, we must look at the essence through the phenomenon. For example, there was a pastor whose wife suffered from a lot of illnesses. Later, his congregation brought his wife to me. After I prayed, his wife recovered. When this pastor's wife met this pastor, it surprised us. The result was beyond our expectations. Not only was this pastor unhappy, but he also described me as a heretic. His congregation was very confused: My pastor, how could this be?

In the church environment, pastors suffering from depression and cancer are common. When we encounter problems, we will definitely find answers if we seek them. Scientific development is also due to a problem. Seeing a phenomenon, we go to find the essence of things. Why am I talking to you today about the revelation of building a victorious church? Because the victorious church is the key to solving these problems. Why are these pastors dismissed and suffer from depression and cancer? Even a small coronavirus scares everyone so much. This makes us puzzled.

Grasp the Essence Through the Phenomenon

What is the key? The key is that there is no victorious church. This concept must enter everyone's heart. If we have a victorious church, many problems can be solved easily. Today, I will discuss a few points with you. Healing and deliverance are the basic work of the church. This reflects that the most difficult problem for mankind is medical problems. If a person solves medical problems, he will not only save medical expenses for his entire life, but also save a lot of time in the hospital bed. You can use this time and energy to do a lot of work, and the return is extremely rich.

Later, I gradually realized that although there are still many problems in a person's life, if medical problems can be solved, what problems can we not solve? In other words, today we must see clearly what the essence of a person wanting to live well is. In fact, who doesn't want to live well? Everyone wants to live well, but how can they live well?

God is the answer to all our problems. Genesis chapters 1 to 11 talk about human unbelief. For this reason, I also wrote a book called Unbelief is the Root of Human Problems. If you are interested, you can read it.

A few years ago, we did a book-giving activity, and a sister from Beijing received this book. At that time, this sister was on the verge of pain and could not find hope in life. Many demons were running around her body. She had visited many churches, but no one could solve her problem. She was very fortunate to contact us through this book, and then came to us and was continuously promoted and trained. People must see through the matter of living. After several months of struggle and deliverance, the demons on her body were beaten to pieces, and her whole condition improved and she began to regain hope and faith.

What does Jesus Christ want to tell us by doing healing, deliverance, healing diseases, and casting out demons? What do He want us to see? Is it just that a leper is healed, a person born lame is healed, and a blind person is healed? No! We often only see a phenomenon, but we cannot grasp the essence of things. This is our problem.

We see Jesus performing one miracle after another, and we think that is Jesus, I am not Jesus, and we don't think about it. This is troublesome. When we read the four Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, will you be shocked by what Jesus did? If you are shocked by what Jesus did, then have we really seen the essence behind it?

This essence is the answer to how we live well. The answers are all in Jesus Christ. Jesus lets us see in order to let us see the essence. Some people see it, but they don't understand it; they hear it, but they don't understand it. Their hearts are blinded by oil. This is a person without faith. The answer to all our human problems is in Him.

See Through What Living is All About

Some time ago, a sister came to us. In fact, she had followed us in believing in the Lord many years ago. Recently, her three children had fevers in turn. The answer to her problems is also in Jesus Christ. If it is not in Jesus Christ, then there will be endless problems. She is trapped in the problems of her three children, work, life, and her husband every day. I see almost no hope except in Jesus Christ. Her three children have a round of fever almost every one or two weeks. Every day is these things. I told her pastor that the most important thing is to start leading her to learn to cast out demons, because behind this is the operation of evil spirits.

People know that man dies for wealth, and birds die for food. Why do people die for wealth? We people make money all day long, but do we really understand what making money is for? We don't know.

A sister had complete insomnia last night because she suddenly realized that the problem she had for so many years was brought about by the knowledge of good and evil. Two years ago, I asked this sister to learn to be smart. She never knew what I was talking about because she felt that she was very smart. I said the answer was wrong, and to think again. Yesterday, she didn't sleep all night, and suddenly she understood. Understanding is very important. Understanding is a vertical heart radical, a wu, which means I understand in my heart. She understands that people have done many stupid things from the age of a few years old, ten years old, until now.

After my continuous teaching and training, this sister understood that her current state of living is not returning to the origin, but almost returning to the end. She has been discerning good and evil for decades and began to regret it, but there is no regret medicine in this world. Money cannot solve people's problems. Many people ask me: Can medical treatment solve people's problems? I tell them, If you have Jesus, what do you need a hospital for!

A classmate of mine stayed in the hospital for three months. Her family gave her the best treatment, the best doctors, and the best arrangements, but she couldn't get out of bed. I was the one who prayed for an hour and she went home jumping and jumping.

I was thinking, if you have Jesus, what do you need a hospital for? Hospitals are for unbelievers. As for a person who has faith, he exudes the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead, so he does not need a hospital. Therefore, the key to solving problems in a person's life is to stand higher, see farther, and see clearly what the essence of human life is. I encourage everyone to look at things from a higher and farther perspective. Can you stand at the height of the 5,000-year-old Chinese culture and look at all living beings? One generation comes and another generation goes. The Yangtze River's waves push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach. This is what mankind is all about. If this is the case, can you understand it?

Live to Obtain Destiny

Today, I want to share a very important thing with you, which is that the victorious church is my destiny. People who see through it know that they need a meaning to live. If people don't know the meaning of living, wouldn't they want to jump off the building? Seeing through life and death is not jumping off the building, seeing through life and death is obtaining destiny. If we see through life and death, we must find the meaning of living. That thing is destiny. We are born for this and live for this.

Brothers and sisters must know why you have so many problems, because you don't know that living is vanity of vanities. You take everything so seriously. Can you not be uncomfortable? I see everything as vanity of vanities. I live to obtain destiny, and my problems become very simple. Because the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead is on me, I am more than victorious in all problems. Therefore, brothers and sisters must know today that living is vanity of vanities.

I have a friend who is very smart and knows how to do business. He has made a lot of money. Recently, he wanted to find me. Later, I found out that it was because he encountered a lot of trouble. It is very troublesome if people cannot see clearly the essence of the problem. If you feel that living is vanity of vanities, will you still be entangled in these things of living? Definitely not!

If someone sells you to Egypt as a slave, you will think that living like this is also living, and living like that is also living. Whether you are a slave or not, you will die sooner or later. Therefore, brothers and sisters, start to see the problems in their essence. Living is vanity of vanities. People need to obtain a destiny. This destiny is what God's plan is, it is God's plan, not man's plan, because man's plan is useless.

We should often ask ourselves what we are doing alive. For this reason, I wrote a sermon called Seeing Through Life and Death. If you have the opportunity, you can listen to this sermon. Today, I am willing to die for God, and I am also willing to suffer for God, because I know that living is vanity of vanities. Only in this way can we live out God's glory. The spiritual realm is very real. If we don't know that the spiritual realm is real, we will think that working hard can make us live well.

Seeing this world and all living beings coming and going, all living in vanity, we live in this world all under the manipulation of the spiritual realm. I have a deep research on the spiritual realm. I often see the operations in the spiritual realm. Once, a person came to the meeting, went to the toilet, and couldn't move his waist. I said this problem is simple, I can make it better with a prayer, but no matter how I prayed, it didn't work. I was very embarrassed and didn't know what to do. Later, God let me see a bronze-colored dragon. The tail of this dragon pulled the sister's waist, and her waist couldn't move. Later, I found out that this sister had done a lot of things in the spiritual realm. I began to attack the evil spirits behind it, and later her waist was completely healed, but she never came back after it was healed, because the evil spirits behind it would deceive people.

Everything in Life is Closely Related to the Spiritual Realm

Today, brothers and sisters must know that everything people live for is related to the spiritual realm. Once when I was casting out demons, the demon said that he had caused my brother's car accident. He blew a breath, and my brother's car rolled into the cliff. This demon is so bad! How many people can see through life and death in this world? If you can't see the things in the spiritual realm, people will mess around in this world. Everything in life is closely related to the spiritual realm.

We have an ancient Chinese legend called Meng Po Soup. People who drink this Meng Po Soup after death will forget everything. There is also a song called Give Me a Glass of Forgetful Love Potion. This is a joke. Later, my mother often came and went in the spiritual realm. After she came back, she told me that she saw an old woman who often came to her, but she didn't drink it. She also saw many things in the spiritual realm.

From childhood to adulthood, I have seen many supernatural things. When I was in elementary school, I went to the countryside to play during the holidays. During the Chinese New Year, several children were playing cards with a few cents. One of them kept losing. Later, he couldn't afford to lose, so he inserted two incense sticks there and fiddled with them. Later, a woman came in from outside with a group of little ghosts. Then she said, I'm there, it's very boring, you come over and play cards with me. The four of them didn't want to go, so the group of little ghosts went up and grabbed them. The four children lost their breath after a while.

At this time, an adult pushed the door open. The rural people were all carrying acupuncture needles, which were similar to the sewing needles used for work now. They pierced the philtrum and the tiger's mouth, and the children woke up. The story they told after they woke up was quite scary. They said that a woman with a name and a surname came to them to play cards. They didn't go, so they were kidnapped. They went to a bridge, and then suddenly the little ghosts let them go. They came back. That's what happened. They probably didn't stand a chance after crossing the bridge.

It turned out that the woman was a girl from another village a few kilometers away who had died. She was in her 20s. I watched this kind of thing when I was a child. I didn't understand it when I was a child. People who live for two or thirty years, forty or fifty years, or sixty years will basically experience spiritual things like this.

The Spiritual World is Real

Our understanding of spiritual things is very important. Don't think there is none. Many Chinese people who do business have things enshrined in their homes. Why? If you ask him if it works, he will tell you a lot of stories. Why do so many people believe in feng shui?

Today, I watched a video from a well-known domestic TV station. This video studied a wizard in western Hunan. He got a rooster and nailed nails into the rooster's head. The rooster had no energy. If it was nailed into the head, the rooster would live if it was pulled down. What was that? That was a program filmed by the TV station. I was not at the scene. I should have looked blank at the scene. After that, their TV station bought another lively rooster. As a result, this time, the Taoist priest split the rooster's head open and did some magic, and the rooster lived.

What I want to ask everyone is, do you really understand the spiritual realm? If you don't know that the spiritual realm is real, and living is just a shadow of the spiritual realm, then you are in trouble. You can't possibly live well. As the saying goes, you can't see the true face of Mount Lu, just because you are in this mountain. We have to see through it every day. After seeing through it, we look for the truth. We are looking for what we are living for.

After finding it, we understand that the world we live in is a spiritual world. In this spiritual world, God has a wonderful salvation and a wonderful plan. This plan is to save us from the road to destruction and let us enter His glory. Why did Jesus Christ rise from the dead? Why did Jesus Christ raise people from the dead when He was alive? Why can Jesus Christ heal all kinds of diseases? What problem does He want to explain?

Our Life is in Jesus Christ

He wants to explain that life is in Him. You see in Singapore, when Christians die, they hang a big elegiac couplet that says, I am the life, and the resurrection is in me. That is the passage in John. So today, we really know that God is in control of everything. What is God's plan? If God's plan is to build a victorious church, and the victorious church is the body of Jesus Christ, then the body of Jesus Christ is completely united with Jesus Christ. The power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead will descend on us, so I think, can such a person not live well?

People like me are regarded as masters by many people, including my classmates. Whether it is a master or a junior master, it is Jesus Christ who rose from the dead. The power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead will descend on us, and we will surely receive power and testify to the word preached by Jesus Christ. So today, miracles prove the word of God. This is the original word of the Bible. What are we going to prove without miracles? If there is no gospel of miracles, is it still the gospel?

Today, if God performs as many miracles through your hands as I do, what will you find? You will say that this is what it means to live. Therefore, brothers and sisters, take up the authority of Jesus Christ today, trample on the devil, and through spiritual warfare, through building a victorious church, heal and deliver captive souls, attack the devil and the enemy, and let all those who are about to perish enter into God's kingdom, into the eternal life prepared by God. So this gospel is the power of God.

Paul said this in the Bible:

My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power. (1 Corinthians 2:4-5)

Today, if our faith is all built on the power of Jesus Christ, is there any problem that cannot be solved? No problem can hinder the power of God. Any problem can be trampled under our feet. Because we rely on the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead.

Build a Victorious Church

Today, we build a victorious church and become a part of the body of Jesus Christ. If the church is not victorious and is not in the body of Jesus Christ, how can it effectively do healing and deliverance? Jesus Christ came into this world, lived for more than 30 years, was crucified, and rose from the dead. Jesus' path is our path. Imitating Jesus is imitating the death of Jesus Christ, and then obtaining the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection. What we preach is not a cheap gospel, but a gospel that completely gives up life and pays the price.

It is not about behavior, it is that we really believe, and we really pay the price without any complaints. Because we were born for this, and we also die for this, and life and death are all outside of us. Today, living for this is our destiny, so paying the price is a normal thing. I can't wait to return to Jesus Christ early and rest from the world's labor. But every day I live, I must pay the price of my life for Jesus Christ, so I offer myself as a living sacrifice, completely dedicated to God.

Some people say, how can I live like this? Why can't you live like this? I see you spending all day on a lot of things, raising three children who get sick in turn, and your husband is playing computer games there. Isn't that very helpless? Today I ask, How can you live a life of hard work and sorrow! When you get old, you are still working hard and worrying, and you are controlled by evil spirits. Is it interesting to live a lifetime like this? I think my way of living is better because the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead is on me. It's really amazing.

A few days ago, during the renovation, a sister fell from a ladder and sprained her hip bone, so she couldn't walk. What should I do! I asked her to come over, grabbed her hip bone, and the hip bone loosened after a prayer, and she was well in ten or twenty seconds. Sometimes, it's okay if it takes ten or twenty minutes! It's always better than a hundred days of injury. A hundred days is better than becoming one day, and one day is better than becoming one hour.

Obtain the Power of Jesus Christ's Resurrection from the Dead

Today, if you don't have the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead, how can you live? Why do you live? As I said, What are you doing? What are you doing to make money, to have children? I really don't understand what the point of living like this is. Therefore, I give a suggestion to the sisters among us: can you make up your mind to live for Jesus Christ, obtain the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead, and build a victorious church that is our destiny.

They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. (Revelation 12:11)

Today I want to tell you a more painful thing, if you love your life, you cannot be a Christian. If you are willing to give your life for Jesus Christ, no one will not receive a hundredfold in this life and eternal life in the afterlife. If you are willing to give everything you have for Jesus Christ, the church you build must be a victorious church.

Therefore, in the days to come, I have an idea: to continuously train such preachers. If you are willing, you will obtain the Chinese Mingding Destiny theological system, which is to live for this and die for this. Living like this, these preachers can build God's glorious church and release captive souls just like me in the world. It is not a gospel without power, but a gospel with great power. Start to know that this last church will manifest God's glory far surpassing God's previous church.

‘The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the Lord Almighty.” (Haggai 2:9)

We often think that the early church was full of God's glory. But I tell you, When Jesus comes again, the glory of the last days far exceeds the glory of the former days. From Genesis to Malachi, from Matthew to Revelation, why can't we build God's glorious church? Because in this last era, we have the full word of God, as if Paul said he was a smart foreman. Paul built the foundation well, and we are building on it. After building it, we decorate it beautifully. How can there be no glory of God? The early church was just a foundation. Today, start to have such a mind and build a church of God's glory that surpasses all ages.

They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. (Revelation 12:11)

If you ask me if I am willing to offer my life to God, of course I am willing. If it were not for God, I would not be in this world long ago.

The revelation of building the victorious church is all in Revelation. This class only has a few lectures, so I can't explain it in such detail. Indeed, I wrote two books, The Revelation of the Victorious Church. I think if you are willing, you can take a look. The most important point of the revelation of the victorious church is to overcome the wiles of the devil.

The Overcoming Church Must Triumph Over the Devil's Schemes

To triumph over the devil's schemes. In Revelation chapters one, two, and three, the most important phrase is how the overcomers fare. Nothing is said about those who do not overcome, but please do not say, I overcome, but I am not saved. There is a mystery in the Bible that no one knows the answer to to this day. I do not know if there is anyone between overcoming and salvation. The Bible speaks of overcoming; whether those who do not overcome are saved, I do not know.

But in my view, overcoming and salvation are the same thing. If you disagree, that is fine; you are welcome to overcome and not be saved. But as for me, overcoming is better. You ask, What happens to those who do not get into university? I do not know. Those who get into university get into university. Many people see the national college entrance examination as a turning point in a person's life because it is very important.

Today we must know that what is above overcoming is very clear, but what is below overcoming is unknown, unwritten. Many people like to study the ten virgins, five with oil and five without, and the five without oil come knocking, but the door is already closed, and they are cast into darkness, gnashing their teeth there. Some pastors like to study where that darkness is.

Rick Joyner wrote that the darkness is also a place in heaven. This kind of interpretation is very one-sided. We strive according to God's standards and still do not know what will happen; if we are lax without any requirements, it will surely be fatal. Striving is our responsibility.

The scripture is written this way:

When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades. Write therefore the things that you have seen, those that are and those that are to take place after this. As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches. (Revelation 1:17-20 ESV)

These verses tell us that Jesus Christ is the first and the last. He is the beginning and the end of history. Not the beginning and end of God's history, but the beginning and end of human history. All things were created for Jesus Christ, and all things return to Jesus Christ, all united with God. If we view it from a higher perspective, we will find that the chapter of human history is the history of the overcoming church. The overcoming church begins every chapter of human history, which is to say that this entire world was made for Jesus Christ.

The letters written to the seven churches state that the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the angels are responsible for that church, and the spiritual condition of the church is closely related to the angel. That is to say, these letters are not written to the seven churches, but to the angels of the seven churches, to the spiritual leaders of the seven churches.

What does it say to the angel of the church in Ephesus? The initial love. As we believe, we become old hands; we get hurt in the church, and often we begin to find that many things are not quite right, and people abandon their initial love.

If we are people who build God's overcoming church, then we will surely overcome in this place! We have labored for God's name, we are able to persevere, and we are not weary, and do ministry vigorously. But you lack one thing: the initial love inside. Then it is very hard to work, very hard to work, and the service in the church is even harder. The whole person starts to get a little messed up, begins to drift apart inside, and leaves the church to go to another church.

People who leave our church have a characteristic: they go to another church and ask the pastor, Do you have ministries in your church? and if the answer is No, they think, It's not a church if it doesn't even have ministries. They come back, but then feel embarrassed. If they don't come back, they feel other churches are of a very low level. That is really hard. So people should not forsake their initial love.

The initial love is extraordinary. Actually, it's just a feeling. If you have the initial love for God in you, that feeling will be very good! Can a person maintain the initial love for God? So today we must know how the spiritual realm operates. The devil is to hurt us and then make us abandon our initial love; even the initial love is gone. Today, if we want to obtain our Mingding Destiny, we must overcome in this matter of love!

Today, we see whether we truly have Mingding Destiny by coming out of the hurt. A person who truly has Mingding Destiny will always hold on to this Mingding Destiny, always hold on to it, always retain the initial love. We live for it, we are born for it, we die for it. And this is our life, this is our Mingding Destiny!

No matter when or where, we live for God, taking the attainment of Mingding Destiny as the foundation of our lives. If not, living for family all day long, dying for family all day long, you will not be able to build the overcoming church, nor will you be able to solve all the problems you face. I can give you good news: many problems will be solved easily after building the overcoming church. I would rather die for God than die of cancer; to die for God is glorious. To die in a curse is a kind of punishment. Are we willing to pay the price for Jesus Christ?

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.’ (Revelation 2:7 ESV)

God gives us the fruit of the tree of life to eat, how can we not obtain it? But we must also know that the devil will also let us die. Do not think that the devil will not kill us. The apostles Peter and Paul were beheaded, and Jesus Christ was also crucified, but our God opened the way to eternal life, at the cost of this life. If we are willing to pay the price, to be faithful to God until death, we will receive an eternal, imperishable crown.

To Be Faithful to God Until Death

“And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: ‘The words of the first and the last, who died and came to life. “ ‘I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich) and the slander of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers will not be hurt by the second death.’ (Revelation 2:8-11 ESV )

This is very clear. Do you have the attitude of being faithful until death? People are born to die anyway. Is it not the same whether you die early or late? But some people do not think that way: “I want to live until I get senile dementia; I won’t be satisfied if I don’t play with poop.” What is this talk? If we do not see through this, and live for the sake of living, that is very fatal. For example, some people say, I wish you a long and healthy life. If someone says this to me, I will be very angry, because I want to live in eternity. In my concept, whether it is one hundred years, sixty years, ten years, or just born, death is the same, because living is a very simple thing.

Remember, people who want to save their lives will lose it, but people who give their lives for Jesus will gain life; if you live for the sake of work, you will surely lose your job; living for the family, you will surely lose your family, so we must all know that building the overcoming church can obtain everything; people cannot do without seeing through this.

Although I have lived to this age, I live with clarity. What does that mean? It means that I understand even life and death. I am not afraid of death. Some people say, Man is iron, food is steel. But I live well even if I do not have the next meal. Some people must guarantee seven hours of sleep, but this cannot be controlled. Some people cannot guarantee sleep even after taking sleeping pills for four years. Sometimes I sleep for ten hours, sometimes twenty hours, it does not matter, because I hardly slept in the past few days, and I make up for the previous days with one sleep. Some people spend all day taking care of themselves, but their faces are wrinkled when they reach forty or fifty years old.

In the things we encounter in life, control what you can control, and let the uncontrollable ones count. Could Joseph control being sold into Egypt? We must have a heart to suffer for God, and we will surely receive the crown of life. This is also my hope in life. I really want to have a dream, a dream where God speaks to me: “Come, enjoy the glory of your Father; come, I will give you the crown of life.” Paul's words often encourage me. No matter how difficult, no matter how uncomfortable, I do not care. There are many times when I am uncomfortable. This is being faithful until death, because I am very clear in my understanding that this is my life. I long for the day when I go before God and tell God:

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. (2 Timothy 4:7 ESV)

Although I have experienced many hardships and tribulations in my life, each time they have not been able to take away the Mingding Destiny within me. This is my pursuit. God, I am here, I want to receive the crown of life. If you have the same determination in you, all problems will become small problems.

Strive to Deal thoroughly with the Love of Money and the Love of the World

But many people in the world follow the teaching of Balaam, that is, the church in Pergamum. Balaam felt that being a poor preacher was very uninteresting, someone gave him a pot of gold, and he thought of it all the time, until even the donkey he rode spoke. Now there are many preachers who serve God for money. They followed Balaam's teaching. Balaam put a stumbling block before the Israelites, causing them to commit sexual immorality.

If we want to build the overcoming church, we must see through money and not serve both mammon and God. I think Balaam was very stupid. What problems can money solve? Money can solve very few problems. But God can solve all our problems. People obey the teaching of Balaam because they have not seen through life and death and take the things of this life too seriously. I encourage everyone not to take the things of this life too seriously. If you take them too seriously, you will be a treacherous merchant if you are a businessman and a corrupt official if you are a government official. If you put down the things of this life, you are truly walking on a road of serving the people, and you will bless this generation, releasing people from bondage and oppression.

We desperately need people who will give themselves to bless this generation. In the hundred years that China has developed from the sick man of East Asia to a strong return home, there have indeed been many people with mission and Mingding Destiny. In the early years, those revolutionaries really shed their blood. But now many people are钻钱眼里去, living for this life. If you live for this life, die for this life, you cannot but live out God's glory. If you live for eternity, live for eternity, die for eternity, to build God's glorious church, to be a blessing to this generation, you cannot but live out God's glory! God's glory will surely be manifested through you.

I have been talking a lot about the theme of Arise, Shine! recently. We must be the light of this generation. When people see us, they will bring their problems to us. We are a church with God's presence, an overcoming church, we have a group of people who are faithful until death, people who do not run for money, and God will never treat us unfairly; on the contrary, the church will become more and more prosperous. The church still has many lessons to learn, to be clear about what methods Satan uses to deceive people

The Church Must Overcome the Dark Powers of Control

In the church in Thyatira, Jezebel is an authoritarian preacher, and we must come out of this situation. Each of us has walked a path of love, faith, diligence, patience, and doing many good deeds.

The scripture is written this way:

“ ‘I know your works, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your latter works exceed the first. But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols. (Revelation 2:19-20 ESV)

Today we must be especially careful of people like Jezebel. To my knowledge, many preachers manage the church, and their wives manage them, and there is a very serious problem behind this. Ahab was managed by Jezebel, and Ahab managed the kingdom of Israel. Jezebel was a queen, she managed her husband, and her husband managed the kingdom of Israel. At that time, the territory of Israel was still very large, and the economy in every aspect was very prosperous. In the end, Jezebel received a heavy judgment from God.

There are many things about people being controlled by each other in the church. A pastor I know, the couple went to his pastor (another pastor), and this pastor asked him to compromise a little. This is not a matter of compromising a little, it is a matter of being controlled. In our church, pastors and sheep cannot control each other. There is no relationship of control among us, we are in a relationship of love. I never blackmail everyone. To this day, I say to my co-workers, If you want to start your own thing in the future, I will not blackmail you to stay!

Why am I willing to train more preachers? I want to pass on God's love. We should not release fear, not because of
You have the ability to be among us, you are willing to pursue and run with us! I have also rarely talked about obedience recently, and I have never thought that obedience in administrative management is an effective obedience. What we are talking about is that he is willing to follow you, not to be controlled or blackmailed.

For example, if someone is healed among us, he is free to do whatever he wants afterwards, and I will never morally kidnap anyone. But those who are willing to build a glorious church with me, willing to take on Mingding Destiny, and be a blessing to this generation, then let us run together. In the church, Jezebel is a very common situation, this is control. For example, someone leaves the church, and many people visit the person's home, making the person afraid to leave the church, and finally they go back. This is not love, this is blackmail.

Some Christians come among us and live in the same compound with people from some original churches. They walk back and forth, and our sisters are afraid to see them. A few days ago, a sister called me and said that people from her original church came to visit them, and she was very worried. I told her, there is no need to explain, just tell the truth, and do whatever is appropriate.

We also need to know:

To the one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father. And I will give him the morning star. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’ (Revelation 2:26-29 ESV)

About Jezebel is about the issue of authority, do not give authority to others, and do not be blackmailed by others. These schemes of the devil are very powerful.

Thoroughly Deal with Seeking Vain Glory

Next is the church in Sardis. What the church in Sardis is talking about is seeking vain glory. The name is alive, but it is actually dead. This is very fatal. We must be real, living people with flesh and blood and spirit. We must be alive in our spirits. If you believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ without any power, and you are full of道理, what is the use? Others live out God's word, and you think it is a heresy, is it not very strange?

This is like the Pharisees nailing Jesus to the cross back then. They criticized him, they thought Jesus Christ was not real, and did not obey the law of Moses. How did they not know that the God who gave the law to Moses came alive among them, making the blind see and the lame walk, but they could not see it. Is this not very strange? The same Bible, different people interpret different versions.

Some time ago, I received a Christian from the United States, and his logical system left me speechless. The way he believed had no power, it did not seem like Jesus was the real gospel, is not this very strange? It did not seem like Jesus at all. So what gospel are you preaching? Or if you do not look like Paul at all, and just talk about some principles, is that the pure gospel?

Seeking vain glory is fatal, not grasping the essence, and not wanting to pursue it, you become self-righteous. So today, when we read Revelation, we must think carefully, and people must be alert!

As the scripture says:

Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God. Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you. Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments, and they will walk with me in white, for they are worthy. The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (Revelation 3:2-6 ESV)

These are not the words of the Holy Spirit to one church, but to all the churches. We should be alert and repent in this generation. The name is alive, but it is actually dead. This is not difficult to understand. Only in appearance and without the appearance of Jesus Christ, nor the substance of Jesus Christ, it is impossible to move forward.

Restore the Fervent Heart Within Us

Another is the church in Laodicea, neither cold nor hot. It is a very fatal thing if Christians live neither cold nor hot. They may be very rich and go traveling on weekdays. The church will encounter this situation. Today we must restore the fire within us. Living a small life can completely cost a person Mingding Destiny. Christians who have completely lost Mingding Destiny cannot build God's overcoming church.

When you are rich, and you are not willing to serve your God, God will make you serve the enemies He sends. Today we must come out of this situation.

The scripture says this:

So be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’ (Revelation 3:19-22 ESV)

This is the overcoming church! The overcoming church opens the chapters of history. In fact, Revelation chapters 1, 5, 6 and 7 all tell of the overcoming church opening the chapters of history.

Then I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it, and I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.” (Revelation 5:1-5 ESV)

This refers to Jesus Christ and His church overcoming! Because Jesus Christ is the head, and the church of Jesus Christ is the body. So today, in the last days, God will reveal the seven seals together with Jesus Christ through His church. With the opening of these seven seals, human history will continue to move forward.

Why did Jesus Christ write Revelation to us? It is to tell us that this word is related to us, not to Jesus Christ. We overcome together with Him, and together we open the chapters of humanity.

Therefore, I would like to share with you such a concept, May God bless everyone, keep everyone, and let everyone have such a determination that we are in such a glorious era, in which the glory of God will fill the whole earth, and the church of God will show forth His glory. This church is like what is written in Ephesians, without wrinkles, without various diseases, and is an overcoming church!

Today we are the heavenly Jerusalem. When we read the Old Testament and hear about Jerusalem, many people think it is the Jerusalem of Israel today. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! May they be secure who love you! This refers to the church today. Today, applying the will to build the heavenly Jerusalem, God will bring the victorious heavenly Jerusalem to earth in the future, just as the last book of Revelation says, the new holy city and the new heaven and new earth. I will share this here today.

May God bless everyone!
