Introduction
Good day to all. In these past days, I have expounded on a seven-part theological framework for healing and deliverance. Whether one seeks healing or participates in ministering healing to others, the overarching theological system of healing and deliverance necessitates addressing the numerous perplexities within us. Following the previous seven sessions, there are slight differences between these and my earlier book, Healing and Deliverance Like Jesus.
In the past, my first chapter was on desiring to be like Jesus, the second on the victorious church as the key, and the third on the authority already granted to us. This time, I have placed the emphasis on authority slightly later, speaking first of the victorious church, the church as God's army, whose primary task is healing and deliverance, and then on faith, through which all are healed.
As we proceed to this session, we are bound to ponder, How can we make it effective? What is the key to its effectiveness? I believe this is a common question. The key lies in authority. Regardless of your Christian background or denomination, all are familiar with the Lord's Prayer:
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen. (Matthew 6:9-13)
Everyone can recite this, but when it comes to interpreting it, many Christians are baffled by what glory and power truly mean. It becomes immediately apparent during healing and exorcism who possesses authority and who does not. The presence or absence of authority is tied to our understanding, to what we recognize. If we do not believe we have authority, we will not have it. If we believe we have authority, we will wield it. And when we do, it is remarkably effective!
Years ago, I discovered that with this prayer, the sick were healed, and I was astonished! Thus, I strongly opposed the notion that you are not ready yet! You have vulnerabilities! You cannot minister! You cannot heal the sick or cast out demons! The demons will come upon you! Because I read the Bible clearly: Jesus trained twelve disciples, gave them authority, and they went out to preach the gospel, heal the sick, and cast out demons.
Is that not clear? Very clear. And what about those disciples? They were riddled with vulnerabilities; they were far from perfect, yet they were effective in casting out demons! Why? Because they held authority. Later, Jesus trained seventy more disciples in the same manner.
We must consider why our exorcisms are effective today. It is not for any other reason but that we cast out demons in the name of Jesus Christ. Why is this effective? Not because you and I are doing exceedingly well, but because we possess authority. With this authority, casting out demons becomes effective! Does this create a contradiction? Not at all.
We Represent Jesus Christ in Exercising Authority on Earth
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)
What does this passage convey? These keys of the kingdom are, in fact, authority, enabling one to draw upon heavenly resources. Just as one with the key to a house can enter and take what they need, so too, the one holding the key should be the master. Therefore, brethren, let us re-examine this matter, for it is connected to authority. The crux of healing and deliverance lies in using the authority God has granted us. Is this not consistent with what is written in the Scriptures? He gave them authority to drive out demons. What can one without authority subdue?
Allow me to illustrate with a personal anecdote: In my neighborhood, there was a simple-minded young man whom I grew up with. We played together as children. As we grew older, I went to university, while he became a police officer. We were the same as children, often wiping our runny noses on our sleeves in winter. But once he became a traffic policeman, donned his uniform, drove a police car with flashing lights, and waved his hand, vehicles would halt.
I found it amusing! You scoundrel, do you not recognize me in your uniform? Do you think I would not recognize you just because you put on a vest? Are you not the same child who wiped his snotty nose in the neighborhood? However, once he wears the uniform, he represents authority. One cannot oppose him because to do so is to oppose authority, which would lead to grave consequences! Healing and deliverance are similar; the reason is that we are clothed with Jesus Christ.
Reading the New Testament, one frequently encounters the phrase clothed with Jesus Christ. What does it mean? We, who were once like that child in the neighborhood, suddenly become members of Jesus Christ's army. Once in the army, one can no longer wear their own clothes, can they? Your own clothes – T-shirts, vests, floral pants, and slippers – simply would not do.
Thus, shedding our own attire, we put on the armor bestowed by Jesus Christ in the spiritual realm. This is formidable! With a lift of the hand, it becomes effective. How? Later, in leading the church, I often discovered that prayers became instantly effective. I thought, How could I possess such ability? I do not possess such ability!
But today, we are clothed with Jesus Christ, holding the keys to the kingdom and wearing the full armor of God. The armor is extraordinary, not because of the person within, but because it represents the authority of God's kingdom. That is to say, you and I represent Jesus Christ exercising his authority on this earth, which is no small matter!
It is fundamentally not about how good or perfect you are, but because we heal the sick and cast out demons in the name of Jesus Christ, not based on our own perfection. If you wait until you are perfect to cast out demons, you may never have the opportunity. Even in your coffin, you may not be perfect enough to be your own authority. It is because we wear the armor bestowed by Jesus Christ, relying on the authority granted by God, that prayers become effective!
Does this sound good? How, then, do we gain authority? It is because we are executing God's will. Take, for instance, a police officer. Does he not possess authority? But what if he engages in corruption? He will inevitably be caught! If, however, he properly exercises the authority granted to him, lawfully enforcing traffic laws, he is not at fault, for it is his duty. Using this simple analogy makes it clear and straightforward, for the matter is, in truth, very simple.
A hallmark of Chinese Mingding Destiny is simplifying complex matters. Understanding that simplifying complex matters is a great feat! To complicate simple matters to the point of incomprehensibility is something anyone can do by speaking nonsensically. For example, if I babble incoherently and then ask, Do you understand? You would have to say, Teacher, if you did not explain it clearly, how could we understand?
Those with courage would say so, while the timid would say, The teacher is remarkable! I would ask, What makes me remarkable? Oh, I could not understand anything the teacher said! In that case, what is remarkable about me? The ability to make things clear to everyone is what makes one remarkable. If you are left bewildered after listening, do not think, “Ah, the teacher is amazing!” It may simply be that he did not explain it well.
Have you all understood this matter of authority? If not, try it out. Even the youngest child among us speaks with authority. A few days ago, a six-year-old child prayed for his father's eye pain, and the pain vanished. How many vulnerabilities do you think that six-year-old child has? Sometimes, he even throws tantrums. Yet, when a child prays in our midst, it is effective. Why? Because it is the authority granted by Jesus Christ that makes it effective!
Brothers and sisters, we must recognize that we carry a Shangfang Sword, an imperial sword. Have you heard of the Shangfang Sword? Carrying it in the public means you represent the emperor and exercise his authority. With the emperor's power, one can execute first and report later—how formidable! But is it by your own power? No! It is because the emperor has bestowed the authority upon you.
Therefore, the key to healing the sick and casting out demons lies in whether we use the authority we possess. We must not be afraid. What is there to fear? Jesus said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Does Jesus oversee hell? Of course! Regardless of how many layers there are, Jesus has the final say! All authority in heaven and on earth belongs to our Lord Jesus, and he has delegated this authority to us.
Clothed with Jesus, Exercising Authority
What is authority for? Authority is for governing the world, both the earthly and spiritual realms, which are under Jesus's dominion. All authority in heaven and on earth belongs to Jesus Christ—how wonderful! Some say things that are destructive, such as: That is Jesus! I am not Jesus! Jesus has authority, but I do not.
These are questions raised during Q&A sessions. What they are essentially saying is: Jesus is Jesus, and I am me. That is to say, even if you are a traffic policeman, if you take off your uniform and wave your hand in the street, no one will pay attention to you. However, we must understand today that all authority in heaven and on earth belongs to our Lord Jesus, and you and I will receive authority.
In the Scripture from Matthew chapter sixteen, what does the key represent? It is authority, and today, Jesus has bestowed this authority upon us. When Jesus trained the twelve disciples and the seventy disciples, he also gave them authority to overcome demons. Some say, Do not rejoice that you can drive out demons, but that your names are written in heaven.
This sounds reasonable, but it is problematic if you find it so! Why? Because these are two separate matters that should not be conflated. Representing Jesus on earth and exercising his authority involves healing the sick and casting out demons—one matter. Disciplining oneself is another. One does not first discipline oneself and then take up authority; rather, one can take up authority before fully disciplining oneself. In other words, they are two separate matters, both equally important.
If you do not take up Jesus's authority, how can you keep and adhere to God's word? God gives us authority so that what we bind on earth will be bound in heaven and what we loose on earth will be loosed in heaven—the most fundamental task of the church. If you have not done even the most basic task that Jesus Christ has commanded us, what exactly are you disciplining yourself for? I cannot see it. Thus, many become confused. Know that we are not relying on our own actions. Even when you are not perfect, do you need to fear when casting out demons? No, you do not need to fear. Even when you are imperfect, you can try to cast out demons.
Many years ago, I had many flaws. Before building the church, God disciplined me greatly. It was not an evil spirit disciplining me; it was God. At that time, many in my family were afraid to discard or smash the spirit tablets, but I dared to do it. If among us, there is a homeowner who wants to discard, smash, or burn the spirit tablets but is afraid to, you can try it. It is okay; nothing will happen. However, if you are an ordinary person and you try it, something is bound to happen.
Over the years, I stayed with a person who had a consecrated item in his home. Ever since they had the consecrated item, things always went wrong: the eldest son was struck on the head with a brick, leaving his head looking like a cracked coconut; the younger son was held at knife-point, nearly stabbed to death. He became afraid and dared not touch the consecrated item. I asked him if he wanted it or not. He said he did not. So, I took it and discarded it.
At that time, there were people in my family who also worshipped these things. They stopped me from discarding them, saying it would bring endless trouble. I was still new to the faith and did not care. After taking care of it, nothing happened. Was I perfect? No. Therefore, if our Father in heaven does not allow it, not a single hair will fall from our heads. What do you fear? Do you still fear being attacked by evil spirits? Do you still fear evil spirits entering you? Do you still need to fear these things? You must begin to understand that you represent God’s kingdom on earth; you represent Jesus Christ in exercising God’s authority.
Today, Chinese Mingding Destiny believes that authority has been given to us, authority represents God’s kingdom, and using authority is God’s command. If there is still fear within you, there is absolutely no need for it. God is still in control of everything; it is just that we often fail to be strong and courageous.
I am absolutely certain that nothing can harm you. Even if demons attack you, they cannot harm you! What do you fear? You hold the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and you exercise God’s authority on earth. However, never cast out demons in your own name. Never fail to be clothed with Jesus Christ; it is like a traffic policeman without his uniform stopping cars on the road—it will not work, and people will think you are mentally ill.
By Using Our Authority, Angels and Heavenly Armies Will Fight for Us
Speaking of authority, we must be absolutely certain that God is in control of all things and that God has given us authority. Sometimes, I get beaten by the devil, but does that mean God’s word is untrue? Actually, it is nothing to be beaten; it is good to experience the realm of the spirit a little more. Someone said they had a nightmare, but what is there to fear? If we begin to use the authority God gives us, many things will become simple.
Moses had a staff in his hand. God appeared to Moses in the wilderness and told him to pick up the staff and throw it on the ground. The staff turned into a snake. Moses reached out again to take the snake, and the snake turned back into a staff. In fact, the staff in Moses’s hand was a snake, but how did the snake turn into a staff in Moses’s hand?
If it were you, would you put a staff on your bedside when you sleep, in case the staff turns into a snake at night and bites you? Have you all thought about this? What if the staff turns into a snake and bites Moses to death? Can God not manage this? Do you think God is asleep when you sleep? Do you think God takes a vacation when you take a vacation? No way.
So in the end, the staff could not harm Moses, because the staff was under Moses’s control. People are curious, why does the staff have to turn into a snake when it is thrown down? As a result, when Moses went to Pharaoh, the staff in Moses’s hand that turned into a snake swallowed the staffs in the hands of Pharaoh’s sorcerers.
Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. At the beginning, Moses did not have so many ideas about the staff, nor was he very confident. He did not know how powerful this staff was. In fact, this staff represented the authority God gave to Moses. As a result, when they arrived at the Red Sea, the Red Sea was in front of them and the Egyptian soldiers were chasing them from behind. Where could they escape? Moses then pleaded with God. God said: Why are you pleading with me? You lift up your staff to the Red Sea! As a result, with a wave of the staff, the Red Sea immediately parted, and the Israelites crossed the Red Sea as if walking on dry ground.
After reading this today, you think it was the staff that worked, but it was not. It was God’s authority that worked for Moses. Today, you and I both have cell phones in our hands. In fact, holding this staff is as simple as holding a cell phone, but the scepter of authority can stir up wind and rain, subdue demons and monsters in the spiritual realm. How difficult do you think this is? It’s actually not difficult.
I tell you, take the authority God gives us, make a shout in the spiritual world, and those angels and heavenly armies will come and fight for you. You say: Is this true? There is something very interesting: One day, I was sick, I had great difficulty breathing, and I couldn’t breathe at all, and I didn’t even have the strength to pray. I was praying in my heart. At this moment, my eyes snapped open, and I saw a black mass of demon banners, all shooting arrows at me. Swish swish swish, all stuck in my chest, so do you think my chest can still breathe?
At that time, I could only barely make a little bit of a small voice, and I was there praying and calling on God. At this time, I found something very magical happened: In my spirit, I saw countless angels and heavenly soldiers in the sky, and they came over from the sky with a bang, and as a result, I saw those demons, all defeated like a mountain!
Some people ask me: Did you really see it, or did you see it in a dream? Let’s not talk about whether we saw it in real life or in a dream, but I could breathe again. I didn’t die, and I’m still alive today, which shows that this is really the way it is. You don’t have to believe me, I will tell you a story, and you can think of it as a fairy tale. As a result, the demons were defeated like a mountain, and their bodies were scattered all over the field. It was so interesting! I watched the angels and heavenly soldiers crush the demons! I said: God, so this is what it is like! It turns out that the authority in our hands can mobilize angels and heavenly soldiers!
Why can Chinese Mingding Destiny have this healing and deliverance effect? It is because God wants to build his church on this rock, and I am just a vessel in God’s hands, but I also thank God. Until today, many people have been liberated through my ministry and the ministry of my colleagues, and this is an manifestation of God’s authority among us.
After this incident, my faith in this area exploded! At that time, I thought I was going to die, and I still wanted to build a victorious church? My little life is about to be lost, and I can only exhale but not inhale. Someone said again: Didn’t you say that you should find your pastor when you are sick? At that time, my pastor was God, which was really great!
The heavens and the heavens above, the earth and everything on earth, belong to Jehovah our God. Our God builds his victorious church through us. We are united with God and work with God. This concept must be built up in everyone’s heart. Then you say: How do you know that I am working with God and united with God? This is called Mingding Destiny! Therefore, brothers and sisters, we must begin to obtain Mingding Destiny, and this Mingding Destiny is God's good will in us!
Speaking of Mingding Destiny, don’t be confused. Our God has never said: I want to build a multinational corporation on earth, I want to give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven, you do business on earth, and you also do business in heaven. There is no such thing, is there? What is this called? It's nonsense.
I think that you brothers and sisters must know that God’s command to us is to make us vessels in his hands, to work with him to build a glorious and victorious church. Then God gives us the keys to the kingdom of heaven and the authority of heaven, and we can subdue demons on earth and exercise God’s authority on earth. This is really amazing?
Authority Comes with Faith
Therefore, I have come to enjoy exercising authority. Each time I do, my faith explodes – truly wonderful! Is there anything better? There was a person severely oppressed by the spirit of the dragon who attended our Sunday service. After the service, we had a class, and he went to the restroom. Upon returning, he found he could not move his waist. But I still had to teach the class. I thought, what to do? Let me pray for you first.
After a brief prayer, I asked if he could endure it. He could manage. So, I said, Let's finish the class quickly, and then I'll pray for you. I didn't want to delay the class, so I quickly covered the material and then prayed for him. But this time, no matter how I prayed, it didn't work; he still couldn't move his waist. Usually, for something like a backache, it would be resolved in three to five minutes. This time, it was interesting – a contest of faith!
As I prayed, I kept asking God in my heart, God, what is this? What is behind this? Then, a vision appeared before me: a fierce beast, a dragon-shaped creature, was dancing in the air. Oh, so that's it! I saw, as if watching a movie, the dragon's tail strike his waist, causing his current condition.
At that moment, I began to exercise the authority God had given me to bind the dragon. As soon as I bound it, the dragon's eyes widened, becoming enormous. My goodness, it scared me. Thankfully, I have a big heart. Did you think I would be afraid just because you opened your mouth? Did you think I would be frightened by your glaring eyes, open mouth, and roaring? I have the authority given by God in my hand! When it realized I wasn't afraid, it had no more moves. Later, as I prayed, the person was about to be released. He even wanted to fight me! Despite his bad back, he had quite a bit of energy to wrestle with me.
Through this experience, I discovered that exercising authority is a matter of faith. When you believe, you have authority; when you fear, your authority is paralyzed. So, brothers and sisters, you must know: do not be afraid. If the demons could have taken me out, they would have done so long ago. Would they have left me until today? Their words do not count. The same applies to you. If they could have eliminated you, they would have done so long ago, but their words do not count. So, there is no need to fear them.
Brothers and sisters, do you remember when Moses' staff turned into a snake, and Moses ran away? God said, Take hold of the snake by its tail. When he did, it turned back into a staff. After doing this several times – throwing it down, it becomes a snake; picking it up, it becomes a staff – at first, it would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid at all. But after practicing several times, he became very familiar with it. What is there to fear? He played with it daily, held it in his hand daily. What was there to be afraid of? This thing was quite obedient and interesting.
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)
So, what do believers have faith in? They believe that God has given authority to all of us. Believe that authority has already been given! Don't ever say, I have this gift, I don't have that gift. There is no such thing. You might say, The Bible does talk about gifts! Then I ask you, when Jesus chose the twelve disciples and gave them authority, did He give them gifts? It wasn't just these twelve disciples who had this authority; the seventy disciples who came later also had it!
If Jesus were to train disciples today, all of us, this batch of disciples, would still have this authority. It's not that some have it and some don't; all have authority! Tell yourself at this moment: I have already received the authority given by God! Read Mark 16:17-18 carefully. Can you understand they will pick up snakes with their hands? It's not about buying a snake at the market to play with. It's about holding Moses' staff, the one that turned into a snake, representing the authority that God has given us to trample on snakes and scorpions. Do you understand?
He has given us the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and all the power of the enemy. They will pick up snakes with their hands refers to authority. Can everyone make that connection? So today, as we begin to practice this authority, you will see God's glory. It's extraordinary! Think carefully about this. If you practice the authority God has given you, wouldn't you become a person who can command the wind and rain in the spiritual realm?
Exercising Authority Has Great Effect
We have treasure in our hands. What are we afraid of? Now that you have this authority, are you still afraid of demons getting into you? No need to be afraid, right? If you remove some idolatrous items, are you afraid of the demons behind them? You don't need to be afraid! Even if a demon slightly shoves you, there is nothing to fear, right? So, exercising authority means speaking with authority!
because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law. (Matthew 7:29)
But the centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the subjects of the kingdom will be driven outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.” And his servant was healed at that moment. (Matthew 8:8-13)
If you carefully read the Bible, the words of the teachers of the law were just talk, but Jesus spoke with authority, and this authority is very effective in the spiritual realm! The Bible records a centurion, a military officer, whose servant was ill, and the centurion asked Jesus to heal his servant.
Jesus was about to go to the centurion's house when the centurion stopped Jesus and said, Lord, you don't need to come. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed. Jesus was amazed and said, I have not found anyone in Jerusalem with greater faith than this. Of course, the centurion's servant was immediately healed.
The speed and time of operations in the spiritual realm have nothing to do with the distance to the destination. The speed of the spiritual realm is unimaginable. Whether it's from here to the moon or from here to Mars, it's all very quick with just a word. The speed of transmission in the spiritual realm is much faster than the speed of light. Jesus said that this person really understood how authority in the spiritual realm operates.
After reading this passage, I really feel that the spiritual realm is amazing. Let me tell you a story. If anyone has heard it, please don't mind hearing it again. I want to use this to emphasize the point: what can stop God's authority? Nothing can stop it! God's authority can not only part the Red Sea, but also shake everything in the spiritual realm.
Once, when I was out for dinner, I received a call from a sister who said that her child was crying terribly, staring blankly at the window and shivering. Seeing that situation, I knew that there was probably a demon in the spiritual realm climbing the wall and peeking into the window. Children can really see a lot of things, while we adults often cannot.
Speaking of which, let me interject a few words. Some people say that if you want to buy a house, take a child who is not yet one year old with you. If the child starts making a fuss as soon as they enter the house, you should know what's going on. But if the child seems very comfortable, the spiritual environment of the house is quite clean.
If you don't bring a child, you can also bring a small dog. If the dog barks randomly, it means the house is not spiritually clean. I wonder why people's spiritual eyes gradually close as they grow up? But in our midst, you don't have to worry about this at all, because wherever you are, that's where God's kingdom comes.
When I heard the sister tell me about her child's crying, to be honest, it was inconvenient for me to pray for them because I had guests next to me. I immediately thought of a solution and sent the sister a voice message of about thirty or forty seconds: In the name of Jesus Christ, I command this demon to leave now and not to disturb the child. Five minutes later, the sister called again. I wondered if it was better or not. Thank God, although my faith is not great, it's still okay. The child's mother told me that the child was soon better and stopped crying.
You see, this authority can be exercised through a voice message. We used to be accustomed to writing notes, some from the section chief, some from the department head. Many times, the notes were very useful. Now, even voice notes are useful! Even now, many people have been healed by listening to the prayer recordings on our website. Why? This is a matter of authority. Everyone is beginning to change the wrong idea that it is only useful to come all the way to find me.
Summary
“Enlarge the place of your tent,
and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out;
do not hold back; lengthen your cords
and strengthen your stakes.
For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left,
and your offspring will possess the nations
and will people the desolate cities. (Isaiah 54:2-3)
It's great to have authority in our hands! Over the years, we have increasingly discovered that when we begin to have faith, authority can exert enormous power. It's really amazing. We lead everyone in healing and deliverance on the website, and it's very effective. I firmly believe that we will surely possess the nations on the website. Countless people have been healed and delivered through the website. This is an old tune. After I tell you this, wouldn't you feel: Great! I have authority! The words of Jesus Christ are life, are spirit! Can things of the spirit be separated by time and space? No.
So, we must begin to have faith, believe that we hold the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and begin to boldly use them. No matter what the situation, know that God is with us, and God has given us authority so that we can bind, heal, and deliver anytime, anywhere, and bind the dark forces of the underworld anytime, anywhere. Whatever we bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever we release on earth will be released in heaven. So, use faith to exercise authority; that is the key.
We must know for sure that authority has been given to us. Today, we must continue to serve well. Authority can also train our faith. The key is whether you can exercise your faith and persist one minute longer than the devil. Those who want to be healed must begin to know that there is a group of people here who are holding the authority of the kingdom of heaven and can set the captives free and give freedom to the oppressed. This is what God wants to do through us in this generation.
If you think it's more effective to see a doctor when you are sick, I won't stop you. But if you think you can be healed by the authority given by God when you are sick, then come and try it, and may God manifest His glory in you. The Bible clearly tells us that whatever we bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever we release on earth will be released in heaven. Not only can you be healed, but you can also become a mighty soldier of God's kingdom, and you can also set others free!
When we read the Bible, we must understand that the words in the Bible are really treasures. If you can grasp what I am saying, you must know for sure: we are holding the sword of authority given by God, becoming a great prince in the spiritual world. How wonderful that is! May God bless everyone!
