Background of the First Edition of the 101 Course

Greetings! Our 101 Course is about to enter an upgraded version. Over the past few years, our 101 Course has truly blessed many! The 101 Course was created many years ago when we sorted out the courseware used by other churches at the time. We put a lot of effort into this, but I was not satisfied with these courses at the time. Why was I not satisfied with these courses? Because many things were scattered and completely without a system, and the levels were not clear enough. I felt that what was taught in the entire courseware was a bit chaotic.

If you come to our church, you will find that our church has a distinct characteristic: many things have obvious originality, not echoing others, nor copying everywhere. Although I don't even like to copy my own things, I like to copy the Apostle Paul, so our church is a church with strong originality. Even things that are very popular in the market, we often regard as wrong teachings. If you are a Christian with a little pursuit, you will find that many people criticize Abraham, criticize Isaac, and criticize Jacob, judging those whom God is pleased with. I don't have the guts to do that. I think they are all people whom God is pleased with, and I must follow their example.

So our church does not echo others, so what do we follow? We follow God's original intention. For example, David, in the eyes of people, David's actions are very serious, and the person is not very good, and the moral values are not strong. But God is pleased with David, so we must start to imitate David. Some people will ask, do you want to imitate David killing Uriah and then marrying Uriah's wife Bathsheba? That's not the case. What I want to imitate is what God was pleased with David doing. Although Saul does not steal, does not rob, does not prostitute, does not gamble, is well-behaved and upright, but God does not like him. God says that he is often stubborn and rebellious. So we began to follow the words of the 《Bible》 and imitate them step by step.

At that time, because I was not satisfied with the courses explaining the 《Bible》, I wrote my own 101 Course. Although the writing process was very painful, it has built a large number of people over the past few years, and it has built a very clear framework for our faith. You will find that the 101 Course explains the most important things for a person relatively clearly, that is to say, the most basic framework of Mingding Destiny is in the 101 Course, and of course there are many details later. In fact, when I was writing the 101 Course, the first version of Chinese Mingding Destiny was basically formed, and at that time we needed such a set of courseware to build a basic faith framework. I can boldly say that following our way to believe in the Lord will lead to a more thorough and clear belief in our minds, rather than confusion.

I often see some people in the local church asking the pastor questions. In fact, they are asking good questions, but the pastor does not allow them to continue asking, and advises them to believe in the Lord properly. As a result, they believe in a confused way. I am also very surprised, how can people do this? When writing the 101 Course, we envisioned having a basic concept of upgrading to a 201 Course and a 301 Course. So the 101 Course is connected to our 201 Course, and the 201 Course is connected to the 301 Course. Of course, the 201 Course was written in the second year. However, when writing the 101 Course, a basic framework was established, but looking back at the 101 Course today, some things are not written very clearly, and we still need to improve.

In our concept, you will find that we have a series of courses, 101 Course, 102 Course and 103 Course, of course, there are also 201 Course, 202 Course, 203 Course and 204 Course, and then we have 301 Course, 302 Course, 303 Course, which are three series. When you see these series of courses, you will find that I am building a framework for everyone. The 101 series is prepared for people who have not yet become disciples. What is a disciple? The requirements for a disciple are very high, it is a person who dedicates himself to God. In fact, the 《Bible》 says very clearly that people must give up this and that before they can follow Jesus as His disciples. Everyone must know that what Jesus Christ wants are disciples. Therefore, the 101, 102, and 103 series of courses are just laying the foundation for a person to become a disciple.

The 201 series is the disciple series, but this is a very rough division. Someone asked me which series does the 1.5 series belong to? We have not subdivided this question, nor do we argue about this matter, because it can be counted in any series. So the 101 Course is connected to the 201 Course. In the future, we will also connect a 001 Course downwards. The 001 Course is not about theology, but about what it means to live as a human being. This course is for people who do not know Jesus, do not believe in Him, and do not care about Him.

The horizontal connection is: the 101 Course is a framework, the 102 Course is healing and deliverance, and the 103 Course is reading the 《Bible》 and reading the word of God. So the 101 Course solves the basic framework of faith, and the 102 Course brings people to healing and deliverance. Why do we do this? Because that's what Jesus did! He recruited some disciples, and the first thing He did was to train them to go out to preach the gospel, heal the sick, and cast out demons. That's very important, because a belief in Jesus Christ that does not heal the sick or cast out demons is certainly not like Jesus. We believe in Jesus, so we do what Jesus did.

So everyone should now understand how the 101 Course is connected with other courses. The 101 Course builds a framework, the 102 Course provides more in-depth teaching on healing, deliverance and healing the sick and casting out demons, and the 103 Course constantly strengthens reading God's Word. The 201 Course is basically from the perspective of a minister, and the degree of overlap with other courses is still very high. Why do I do this? I am telling everyone about the overall course management.

Let me share with you another thought that I am still exploring: Why do people read the 《Bible》 and become Pharisees as they read? Because of rigidity. After I sorted out these courses, I had a big concern. I was afraid that our brothers and sisters would become Pharisees. For example, the 102 Course is to train people to preach the gospel, heal the sick and cast out demons, but some people also preach the gospel, heal the sick and cast out demons, but Jesus says He does not know them. This is also in the 《Bible》, which is really annoying. What should I do? I want to push people to a non-rigid state on the basis of our course. How to push it? Let me tell you a little bit about my vision, but this vision is still a long way from implementation.

First, people need to have an understanding of listening, speaking, reading and writing. It is a very serious matter if people cannot listen, speak, read or write. Second, in today's generation, we have to learn a little computer language. Computer language has a characteristic. If you write it wrong, it will not run, so you cannot fake it. You can fake the 101 Course, 102 Course and 103 Course, but you cannot fake the computer language. Third, hands-on laboratory. You have to learn to do it. I don't want your hands to be as clumsy as cotton pants waist. Cotton pants waist is our Northeastern dialect, which means to describe people as clumsy. If a person is very clumsy, it is difficult not to be rigid. Fourth, everyone must learn new era marketing. Investment and financial management will be discussed later. Marketing requires people to be flexible. If people are not flexible, they cannot do it at all.

Some people will say that these things are all worldly? Then was Jesus' work as a carpenter worldly or spiritual? Later, I discovered that people must be smart and able to build in order to build God's church. David and Moses recorded in the 《Bible》 were very smart people. God revealed to Moses how to build the tabernacle and revealed to David how to build the temple. If you don't understand architecture, you can't do it at all. If God draws a blueprint for you, and you can't understand it, how can you do this work? Building a church is the same. If you build a church with a group of Pharisees, you will not be able to build the church at all. So this is not about being worldly or divine, this is about building the church, and it is also an idea for future development. Of course, it is still being considered and explored, and I will reveal it to you today.

My idea is very good, but once people leave the 101 Course, 102 Course and 103 Course, people will run into the world to be carpenters, run into the world to do marketing, run into the world to do investment and financial management, and run into the world to learn computer languages. Of course, it is also very good, but what are you doing? You are indeed not rigid and very flexible, but isn't this troublesome? So today we are going to build a very good foundation, and then constantly improve and build on the foundation. The 101 Course is a foundational course that solves people's most basic problems. Although the status of the 101 Course in the overall framework is very simple and fundamental, it is very important.

Why the 101 Course Needs to Be Upgraded

Over the past few years, our theological system has been greatly improved. It is like an electronic product being upgraded. We cannot always use iPhone 3, nor can we always use iPhone 4, because they are all small, and the feeling of holding them in your hand is like holding a toy. That is to say, all courses need to be upgraded. The concept of Chinese Mingding Destiny is that there is no end to knowing God. Perhaps in my lifetime, our 101 Course will be upgraded for many versions, but there will definitely be many versions of classic things. If you read a marketing book and find that it is already the twenty-second edition, then this book is very powerful and should have been popular in the market for forty or fifty years. Therefore, Chinese Mingding Destiny is actually a theology that is constantly improving, deepening, and expanding, because there is no end to knowing God.

We may feel that we are doing well today, but many years ago we also felt that the courses were well organized, but today we feel dissatisfied. What needs to be improved in the content and structure of the first edition of the 101 Course? Because the close integration is not very good, it is necessary to improve the coherence of the courses. And the questions and content in the course need to be corrected, and at the same time, it is also to more effectively promote our 003 ministry. The 003 ministry is when a person is just beginning to know God, we want to train him to study 《Genesis》 and study the 101 Course. The 101 Course plus 《Genesis》 is called the 003 ministry, and at the same time, the assignments and questions in the courseware are systematically sorted out.

We sort it out as we go, and we outline the assignments and questions, and at the same time, my colleagues outline the reference answers to these assignments. The 101 Course will connect downward with the 001 Course in the future. The 001 Course explores what it means to live as a human being from an objective perspective, and then better connects the 201 Course upward. Although the old version of the 101 Course also connects to the 201 Course, the span in the middle is a bit wrong. This is why it needs to be upgraded.

Learning Method of the New Edition of the 101 Course

I think I need to emphasize the learning method again, because the learning method is really important. And my learning method is still very good, otherwise how could I learn so well. The first point of the learning method is to establish a framework, so today I will tell you to establish the framework of the 101 Course and the large framework of the entire background. If the framework is not clear, you don't know where you are. Some people often travel all over the world on business and check into hotels after getting off the plane. Because their company has an agreement with Holiday Inn hotels, they stay in this hotel wherever they go on business. Because Holiday Inn hotels all over the world look similar, when they wake up in the morning and open the door, they may not know which country they are in. If you don't know which country you are in, isn't that a mess? So you have to know where you are. So establishing a framework allows us to know where we are in the whole system.

Everyone must not think that you need to understand all the details before you can establish a framework. If you understand all the details, you don't need to establish a framework. If you go to Shenzhen, but does Shenzhen have a first, second, or third ring? Shenzhen doesn't seem to have any. If you want to master the entire place of Shenzhen, you must first know the main highways, expressways, or overpasses. Then learn about which district the expressways usually run through, and how they connect to Shenzhen. Then learn about Shenzhen's subway system and see how the subways operate. Even if you go to Taipei or Hangzhou, you use the same method to learn about the place. If you learn according to this method, you will not be confused, and you will know where you are in the city, what subway stations are nearby, overpasses, etc.

If you are driving, you will quickly find the expressways and overpasses, and then you can probably find a place to live, and then find the main roads. This is called a framework. If you don't have this framework, you can only go through small alleys one by one, which will confuse you. This is called failing to grasp the key points, so some of us are easily confused today. Recently, many scam calls are related to the coronavirus, and as a result, some people talked to the scammers for half an hour and were almost scammed. Why? Because there is no framework in their minds and they cannot distinguish whether it is a scammer. Therefore, you must learn to establish a framework, and you can tell the difference at a glance. The concept of framework must be deeply rooted in your bones. How to establish a framework? First look at the big picture, so not learning well is closely related to not grasping the key points.

Grasping the key points, grasping the goals, and grasping the framework must be deeply rooted in your bones. When you grasp the key points, grasp the goals, and grasp the framework, your mind will not be confused. I am doing this thing, and this thing is related to which thing, and it is clear in my mind. From which main line can you connect to where, and it is clear in your mind, and you will not be confused. I often say a few words for everyone to remember: I say what does this thing look like? Everyone must know what it looks like. I have never seen anyone play the piano with two fingers, one finger on the left hand and one finger on the right hand, and they are busy enough there! You can't play well even if you practice for a lifetime, that's not how people do it. So playing the piano is using all five fingers of the left hand and five fingers of the right hand, that's called playing the piano. One finger on the left hand and one finger on the right hand, is that called playing the piano? That may not even be enough for playing a single string. So what does this thing look like, this is very important.

What does the 101 Course look like, do you know the approximate appearance? Everyone must begin to know, if you don't know what it looks like, then you are messing around. The framework is that you can roughly see the outline and appearance of this thing, and then you seem to know, but you don't seem to know. But it doesn't matter, just get familiar with it. When we read the 101 Course, everyone seems to know and doesn't seem to know after reading it. Just get familiar with it and know that there is such a thing. Getting familiar with it is very important. You may not be able to explain it so clearly, but you know what it looks like at a glance, just get familiar with it. If you look at the framework things all day long, you will not be easily confused. When you write, you will find that what I am talking about is structured. If you have close contact with me, you will find that I always have a script for what I am talking about, and I will never speak improvisationally. Improvisational things are not good. If you are in the mood today, you can improvise, but what if you are not in the mood?

The first point is to establish a framework, the second point is to grasp the key points, grasp the goals, grasp the framework, and then get familiar with it in parentheses, and see what it looks like. The third point is to get rid of the bad habit of being confused if you don't understand just one point, and only understanding everything is called understanding. This is a common characteristic of people who don't learn well. People who don't learn well have a common characteristic. As long as they don't understand one point, they are confused. It will take the Year of the Monkey to understand everything. What should I do? We have to start getting used to living with knowing some things and not knowing some things. We have to develop the habit of knowing what we know and what we don't know, and then we need to figure out what we need to figure out. We don't get stuck, and then we learn with questions, starting from what we know, and then iterating quickly.

Let me briefly explain what is called rapid iteration: When we read the first lesson, we first understand the names of these nine lessons. Although I haven't read these nine lessons yet, and I don't know what they are, I quickly flip through them to see what words are in them. Then I understand that what is being said is these things. People who write books first write a summary, and then elaborate on it below. So we have to develop the habit of knowing that it doesn't matter, I quickly scan it, and it won't be easy to run away when we talk about it later, because we know which way this direction is going. This is called learning with questions, starting from what you know, and then iterating quickly. Read it and then scan it again, read it and then scan it again, and the first lesson will be very clear.

Some people plunge in and stay in the first chapter and don't come out. As a result, they still don't understand, and they think that understanding the first chapter is called learning the second chapter. In fact, it is not. We brush from the first chapter to the twentieth chapter, and then come back to look at the first chapter, and then we find that we seem to understand the first chapter. Then quickly read it again, this is called rapid iteration. When I pass by the first time, I know 10%. When I pass by the second time, I know 20%. When I pass by the third time, I know 50%. When I pass by the fourth time, I almost understand everything. In fact, this is how you understand something. In fact, this is how you learn everything. Many people like to get stuck there and don't move. The way to learn is to deal with our bad learning habits.

Assignments for the Second Edition of the 101 Course

Of course, there are also assignments, and we do things properly. You will find that when I talk about things, I don't mess up, I basically don't jump around, and there are assignments for each lesson. Students must learn to write assignments, not for me, you write for yourself. Our students have different levels of education, and we have different requirements for the quality of writing assignments, with elastic standards. If you are a college student or a doctoral student, and you write each word very large, as big as a rice ball, can I want this kind of assignment? So according to the student's level of education, there are different requirements for the assignments. The goal is to master the content and eat the entire framework and key points into our minds, and you can use short sentences to clearly describe what you have learned. This is not going to school, but wanting to turn you from an ignorant person into a knowledgeable person.

Everyone must know that many of the people I have come into contact with who have graduated from college come to me and say: Teacher, my brain doesn't seem to work very well. I said your brain doesn't work very well? I stretched out one finger and asked him how many fingers are there! He said one. I stretched out two more, and I said what is this? He said two. Then your brain works pretty well, doesn't it? There is nothing wrong with your brain, it's just that you often don't know how to learn. Why? Because it is so difficult to describe something. If you use short sentences to clearly describe what you have learned, you have learned it well. After learning today, your brain is a paste, after learning tomorrow, your brain is a paste, is your brain a brain of tofu? It's like adding water to white flour and boiling it to make a paste. This is why some people are still a brain of paste even when they are very old.

Use short sentences to clearly describe what you have learned and systematically connect what you have learned together. Don't just do a stroke here and a stroke there. Even sweeping the floor has to be done line by line. If people sweep the floor with a rake here and a broom there, it's like not sweeping at all. You have to sweep the place you just swept again in a moment, which is equivalent to sweeping several times. Each student will be assigned a teacher to lead them. Of course, while the teacher is leading the students, it is also a process of being trained. So if the teacher hears that something is wrong while leading the students, they have to correct it. The teacher needs to conduct one-on-one teaching to the students for the places they don't understand. This is the training for the teacher.

Questions to Answer

The first question is: What is the meaning of a framework?

The second question is: Can one understand the framework without understanding the details? Provide an example.

The third question is: Why should one understand the framework before learning a course?

The fourth question is: Describe a method for understanding the framework. Attempt to describe the framework of the 101 Course and write down what confuses you.

I used to know a university professor who was a good friend of mine. This university professor was quite capable; he invented a teaching method called problem-solving teaching method. Later, we worked together in a higher education institution. I built the computer system for him, and I integrated his teaching methods into my computer system. One thing he developed was a template. This template is called FMT, which stands for template in English. The template is empty, with only a few lines of text at the top. One line of text, then a blank space below, is given to you after you are given a problem to solve. For example, if the boss gives you a problem, you need to solve it and investigate it. The first thing he does is: What do you know? What don't you know? What do you need to figure out? What you need to figure out is what you need to learn.

This becomes the starting point for solving the problem. I think this question is good, and everyone should develop such learning habits today. I think he is talking about solving problems, and today we are talking about learning. I have given you all the content, and you should learn this content well. Before you learn it, what do you know, what don't you know, and what do you need to figure out? This is an extra question I am adding. Although I am worried that everyone will find it long-winded, I still have to say it because the good stuff is all here.

Because I have a very simple dream inside, which is to hope that our brothers and sisters will not become rigid, hope that our brothers and sisters will become smarter, and hope that our brothers and sisters will be good men and women when they go out, able to create value in the market, instead of just shouting “Hallelujah” very loudly. If “Hallelujah” is shouted loudly, but you fall apart at the first sign of trouble, then it is troublesome, and I will not be able to account for it to God. A framework is actually an overview of something, not talking about details. Details are not called a framework. The key is the thing that holds the whole thing up, that is called a framework. Every sentence in the details, including this sentence and that sentence, and what story is told, that cannot be called a framework.

The Framework of the 101 Course

Although I cannot finish all the courses in one breath today, I can finish the framework. Let me give you my own example. Once, I went out and people asked me to minister and share on stage. Before going on stage, the first question I asked was: How much time do you give me? People did not understand what I meant. If you give me two minutes, I can speak; if you give me five minutes, I can speak; if you give me ten minutes, I can speak; if you give me an hour, I can also speak. Why? Because they asked me to speak on a topic. Suppose the topic is: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. I can finish it in two minutes; I can also finish it in five minutes; I can also finish it in ten minutes; I can even speak for half an hour, an hour, or even three hours.

You may wonder what I mean. If you give me two minutes, I will talk about the most basic framework; if you give me five minutes, I will add more to the framework; if you give me half an hour, I will talk about the most basic first layer, second layer, and third layer of the framework; if you let me speak for another hour, I can expand it in more detail. If you want to paint a picture like a photo, you can; you can also draw it as a cartoon with a few strokes. I once saw a cartoon of Zhao Benshan, and you can tell it is Zhao Benshan at a glance. It only took a few strokes to outline Zhao Benshan. Then I looked at another painting of Jack Ma. The cartoonist is very good. He drew it at once and it looked very similar. You can tell it is him, not a photo. But can it be drawn as a photo? If you want to draw it as a photo, it will take a long time. You have to trace it bit by bit.

You should know that the depth and breadth of your discussion can be constantly adjusted. If you ask me: Can you describe Beijing clearly in one minute? It is easy. In the middle is the Forbidden City, outside is the first ring road, then the second ring road, then the third ring road, outside the third ring road is the fourth ring road, then the fifth ring road, and then the sixth ring road. If there are still thirty seconds: the house price in the first ring road is 200,000, the house price in the second ring road is 100,000, and the house price in the third ring road is several tens of thousands. That is the end. If you still don't understand, and there is still time, Beijing city is vertical in the east, west, north, and south. Chang'an Avenue is from east to west, and Southwest Avenue is from south to north. Just a few streets and it is finished. If you still have some time, it doesn't matter! I will tell you again, this is called Chaoyangmen, this is called Xuanwumen, this is called Chongwenmen, this is called Tiananmen. This is Qianmen, and there is a Dashilan in Qianmen.

This is just an example! The meaning is, do I need to describe a shoeshine man squatting in a certain corner, what the shoeshine man looks like, how he shines shoes? I don't have time to describe that. If you give me two minutes, I will talk for two minutes. If you give me ten minutes, I will talk for ten minutes; but if you give me ten and a half days, I will tell you about Yao Guangxiao in Beijing in those days. Who was Yao Guangxiao? He was Emperor Zhu Di's military advisor, who was knowledgeable in astronomy and geography. It is said that Yao Guangxiao was almost taken away by the Dragon King with the water.

Near Xizhimen, there is a Gaoliang Bridge, but this bridge is called Gaoliang Bridge because there was a general named Gaoliang who chased the Dragon King and took the water back. This is a Beijing legend. If we say more, Guo Degang used to do this and that in Beijing, there are many stories. Beijingers are the best at talking, of course, these are all jokes. I admire Beijingers very much because all the Beijingers I have met are very talkative. They can chat with you for an hour without repeating themselves. They know astronomy and geography, everything that flies in the sky and runs on the ground, they can talk about everything.

101 Course Framework - Lesson 1: Living is a Spiritual Matter

The title of the old 101 course's first lesson was The Spiritual Realm is Real. Later, I felt that the title was not very good, so the title of the new 101 course's first lesson is Living is a Spiritual Matter. What am I going to talk about? We want to observe what living is all about. If you observe it again and again, you will find that when a person lives to be thirty years old, he begins to experience spiritual things, because living is a spiritual matter. This time, I will include some more typical stories to discuss that living is a spiritual matter.

For example, one of my classmates got heart disease. Because she was scheduled to have surgery the next day, she told her child, If no one calls you tomorrow, cook a pot of porridge and bring it to Mom; if someone calls you, pack your things and prepare to hold a funeral for Mom. As a result, her heart stopped for several minutes during the heart surgery. If the heart stops for several minutes, can a person still live? No, they cannot. Later, her heart started beating again and she came back to life. After waking up, she described what she experienced when her heart stopped. When she first started the surgery, she was already in the spiritual realm, and then someone told her that if someone wants to take you away, you must not go. Then that person disappeared. After a while, several ghosts with ox heads and horse faces rushed in and grabbed her and left. As a result, she was taken away without any resistance.

After being caught, her heart stopped beating. It turns out that the heart stopping beating is related to the spirit leaving the person. Later, on the way, she didn't want to follow these little ghosts, and then a person appeared and stood there and said, Let go! Then she came back to life, and her heart started beating again. Is living not a spiritual matter? Living is indeed spiritual. When I tell the story, I will quote words from the Book of Ecclesiastes, because there is a particularly good sentence written in it: Vanity of vanities. What does it mean that living is both vain and empty? It means that it is a shadow. If you are chasing shadows all day long, what can you catch? What is real? The spiritual realm is real.

In fact, the new version of the course is similar to the content of the first version, but this time we will say it more directly, so the most important thing to clarify is that living is a spiritual matter, and in fact, the most important thing is the observation of living in a person's life. If living is chasing shadows, and the spiritual realm is real, then how do you solve the problem? Today, careful observation reveals that people who live very seriously in the world are all controlled. Pursuing these things of living in the world is chasing shadows, so what can you get by chasing shadows? If you firmly grasp the things of the spiritual realm, you will live well. Why are you living like this today? Because you can never grasp the essence. The essence of living is the manipulation of the spiritual realm. Until today, many things have surpassed human imagination.

101 Course Lesson 2: Living Requires God

The previous lesson talked about living is a spiritual matter. Because we cannot handle the affairs of the spiritual realm, and we cannot defeat ghosts, so people need God, and God has prepared abundant grace. So those who believe are accompanied by signs and wonders. Those who fight with ghosts all day long will certainly be accompanied by signs and wonders. For example, when this person prays, he is healed. How is he healed? Because there is God, and behind the disease is a spirit. If a child gets cancer, it is hard to watch, and it is hard to watch an elderly person burying a younger person. They eat well and live well, so why do they get cancer? Because there is a trait in people that easily attracts the spirit of cancer. So God has prepared a grace, and then it talks about people needing God, not God needing us. Don't get me wrong, God will still be God if we are not there.

God transcends what we know in the world by thousands to billions of times in terms of authority, power, wealth, glory, and honor. If you are an ordinary person, what can you give to God? Suppose you want to give a gift to a billionaire today, what can you give? You can't give anything at all, because there is nothing that people can see. People are on earth, and God is in heaven. People cannot control the affairs of the earth and the affairs of the spiritual realm, so what people need to obtain is God's grace. How to obtain grace is talking about faith.

101 Course Lesson 3: True Faith

Many people have also been believing, but in the end they have not gained anything. They also believe, but their faith is not the faith of a mustard seed, but the faith of a grain of rice. If it is the faith of a grain of rice, it would be a miracle if planting it in the ground could grow something. What do we believe? We believe in the word of God. How to obtain grace is talking about faith. Believing is not believing in ourselves, but believing in the word of God.

101 Course Lesson 4: Unbelief is the Root of All Problems

People's faith can create the future, and there will be signs and wonders, and many things can be miraculously reversed, including finances and physical condition. Faith can create the future. People who come among us have experienced these graces. It is your faith that has saved you. A person who does not believe in the things of the spiritual realm, does not believe in God, and does not believe in the word of God, lives under the laws of nature, and the result is waiting for birth, old age, sickness, and death. What we need is God, what we need is signs and wonders, and what we need is not unbelief. What can we do with the laws of nature? The laws of nature can do the things of the laws of nature, but we are living in a spiritual world, and we want to see God's miraculous deeds.

Discerning good and evil is unbelief, and it is playing with the laws of nature, so it is very hard, and even a small cancer cannot be stopped. Some people think they are great and understand COVID-19, but when COVID-19 comes, they find that they have done nothing, and they still think they have done a good job. Discerning good and evil is quite cruel. Genesis chapters 1-3 talk about discerning good and evil. Why do people not live like God? Why do people live like ghosts? Why do people get mental illnesses like Cain? It is all because of discerning good and evil. Discerning good and evil is unbelief, and unbelief is discerning good and evil.

101 Course Lesson 5: The Two Most Important Things in Life are Blessing and Curse

Have you noticed that the fifth lesson is related to the first lesson? The first lesson is called Living is a Spiritual Matter, and the fifth lesson is called The Two Most Important Things in Life are Blessing and Curse, which is about Deuteronomy. Blessing and curse are the two most important things when a person lives. You can refuse to accept it and be willing to live in a curse, and continue to live in a curse. Like Esau, who lives by his sword, that is called a curse.

101 Course Lesson 6: The Key to Being Blessed is Called Victory

In this lesson, we will talk about winning in wrestling with God and with man. We will also talk about the land promised to Abraham and his descendants, which is today's Palestine. Why did Moses and Joshua need to take knives and guns and organize an army of 600,000 Israelites to go in and take it back? Because only by winning can you get the promised land, and only by winning can you get blessings. Victory is actually a concrete manifestation of faith. God has long prepared our victory. If we believe, we will persevere until victory. This is true faith. Giving up halfway is like going to college and not getting a diploma, building a house halfway and it is called unfinished, and people living halfway is called dying young. Victory is very important.

101 Course Lesson 7: The Key to Victory is Called Spiritual Height

In the Road to Ascend that we talked about before, we said that no matter how you toss at the bottom, there will be no results. The key to victory is not how you fight, but your spiritual height. If your spiritual height is not enough, you cannot fight at all, and you have no strength to fight. So in this lesson, we will put the vision that Rick Joyner saw in the Final Battle about the road to ascend back into this lesson.

101 Course Lesson 8: The Highest Place is the Temple of God

We climb the spiritual peak, and keep climbing to the very top, which is to enter the temple of God. This is what the Bible has long foretold: Ascend the mountain of the Lord, and enter the temple of the God of Jacob. The temple of the God of Jacob is the church and the view of the church. At this time, we will combine lesson 7 to talk about the church is the army of God, the church is the temple of God, and at the same time, this lesson will remove many myths about the view of the church.

101 Course Lesson 9: Building a Victorious Church is Our Destiny

Speaking of this, we come back to the question of why people live. What is destiny? Destiny is why you live. If you live for money, then make money well; if you live for your wife, then love your wife well; if you live for your husband, then love your husband well. When you love your husband well, and your husband falls in love with another woman, you will be hurt, so there are many problems with living. This is why the problem of living is to solve a destiny, to solve the problem of the meaning of our lives, so this lesson will bring us directly into the destiny of the 201 course. The courses we are talking about are to build the framework.

Someone may ask me, have you finished writing these nine lessons? I haven't written them yet! I am telling you this not to ruin your faith, but to build your faith. In my vision, in my faith, and in my conception, I already have it, so I do things by first building the framework. This story goes from the first lesson to the ninth lesson, turns around and turns around, and it is very smooth and looks good. The first lesson to the ninth lesson is done so well, and then I fill in the first lesson and the second lesson.

Although I already have a rough concept of each lesson, the first lesson is about humans are living a spiritual matter; the second lesson is about humans need God; the third lesson is about how humans can obtain God's grace; the fourth lesson is about unbelief is the root of the problem, distinguishing good and evil; the fifth lesson is about the two most important things in life are blessing and curse; the sixth lesson is about the key to being blessed is victory; the seventh lesson is about the key to victory is spiritual height; the eighth lesson is about the highest place is the church, is the temple of God, and then building a glorious church is our destiny, which solves the problem of living. Because if you want to live well, you have to do it this way.

So I always list the big framework first when I do things. I don’t go astray, so I am efficient in doing things. If everyone has this framework, reading the first lesson in detail, the second lesson in detail, the third lesson in detail, and the fourth lesson in detail, you will not be confused. So no matter what I do, whether it is computer courses, management courses, or reading things, I do it this way, and I also learn this way myself. Starting today, come out of confusion. We don’t do confusion. We are Christians. If someone asks you what you believe, it would be troublesome if you say you believe in confusion.

Features of the 101 Course

The characteristics of the 101 course need to be abstracted. The first characteristic is that it emphasizes the view of the church, and the final destination is also the view of the church. The second characteristic emphasizes Mingding Destiny, building God's glorious church, so the characteristics are very simple, and the root is fixed at once. The third characteristic is that it is closely related to the matter of living. You will find that the first lesson to the fourth lesson, and the fifth lesson to the seventh lesson, have a corresponding concept. For example, the first lesson talks about people living, and the fifth lesson talks about the most important things in life; the second lesson and the third lesson talk about people needing God, and how people can obtain God's grace, and the sixth lesson talks about the key to being blessed, how to win; the fourth lesson talks about unbelief is the root of the problem, distinguishing good and evil, and the key to victory is spiritual height. Distinguishing good and evil is on the plain, and spiritual height is the holy mountain of the Lord. The foundation is believing, and everything outside of believing is discerning good and evil; the eighth lesson and the ninth lesson talk about solving the problem of the view of the church and Mingding Destiny; the ninth lesson and the Mingding Destiny of the 201 course are connected together.

Through this matter, I need to let everyone see how I work and how I do things. If you usually see me preparing a sermon manuscript, it is funny, because when I prepare a sermon manuscript, I make myself very miserable, because every time I prepare a sermon manuscript, I am peeled off a layer of skin. But there is one benefit, I did it, and many people gave up before they did it. When I made the first version of the 101 course, it took me three months. When I made the 201 course, it also took me three months. If you saw me at that time, you would definitely think I was crazy. During these three months, I often went out and came back, walked back and forth in the room, sat down for a while and then got up, got up and then sat down. I wrote a version and looked at it and threw it away. I wrote another version and looked at it and threw it away again, because no matter how I looked at it, I was upset. But I didn't give up. I don't have the habit of giving up. As a result, one day, I finally did it.

When I made the second version of the 101 course, I shouted, and the people around me were startled. I finally did it. That's how I did it. It was very hard. The only difference is that my faith supported me to persevere for three months. It takes ten months to give birth to a child. The child's faith is perseverance in the mother's womb; it takes a week to grow a bean sprout; it takes ten years to plant a fruit tree. There is no use in being anxious. Everything that is made through faith is a treasure in God's eyes, because that is the kind of person God wants.

God works with people who have faith, so people who have faith are treasures in God's eyes. So you come to God and pat your chest and say to God, Baby is here! God also says to you, Baby come here quickly! Start to be a person with faith. Persist for one day and you can persist for two days. If you can persist for one minute, you can persist for two minutes. If you can persist for two minutes, you can persist for ten minutes. This is the treasure in God's eyes. God will never give up on you, and you will definitely be able to persevere until you give birth to the treasure. May God bless everyone!
