Introduction

We must, at all costs, obtain Mingding Destiny. Why do people live unsatisfactorily? Because their eyes are always fixed on their own problems. You can pray, and we will also pray for you; God will work.

I have loved you, says the Lord. Yet you ask, 'In what way have you loved us?' says the Lord. Was not Esau Jacob's brother? declares the Lord. Yet I have loved Jacob, but Esau I have hated, and I have turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals. Edom may say, 'Though we have been crushed, we will rebuild the ruins.' But this is what the Lord Almighty says: 'They may build, but I will demolish. They will be called the Wicked Land, the nation that is always under the Lord's wrath.' You will see it with your own eyes and say, 'The Lord is great—even beyond the borders of Israel!' (Malachi 1:2-5)

If you are Esau, what can you do? If we do not have Mingding Destiny and merely live mundane lives, the result will be that though they may build, I will demolish. If you are Esau, you are at enmity with God. If you are Jacob, God will bless you. Why is the Book of Malachi placed at the beginning here? Isn't it written for the Israelites? God wants to tell the Israelites that their condition is like that of Esau. Although their ancestor was Jacob, there is nothing about them that resembles Jacob.

A son honors his father, and a servant respects his master. If I am a father, where is the honor due me? If I am a master, where is the respect due me? says the Lord Almighty. It is you, priests, who show contempt for my name. But you ask, 'How have we shown contempt for your name?' You offer defiled food on my altar. Then you ask, 'How have we defiled it?' By saying that the Lord's table is contemptible. When you offer blind animals for sacrifice, is that not wrong? When you sacrifice lame or diseased animals, is that not wrong? Try offering them to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you? says the Lord Almighty. (Malachi 1:6-8)

Now plead with God to be gracious to us. With such offerings from your hand, will he accept you? says the Lord Almighty. Oh, that one of you would shut the temple doors, so that you would not light useless fires on my altar! I am not pleased with you, says the Lord Almighty, and I will accept no offering from your hands. My name will be great among the nations, from where the sun rises to where it sets. In every place incense and pure offerings will be brought to me, because my name will be great among the nations, says the Lord Almighty. But you profane it by saying, 'The Lord's table is defiled,' and, 'Its food is contemptible.' And you say, 'What a burden!' and you sniff at it contemptuously, says the Lord Almighty. When you bring injured, lame or diseased animals and offer them as sacrifices, should I accept them from your hands? says the Lord. Cursed is the cheat who has an acceptable male in his flock and vows to give it, but then sacrifices a blemished animal to the Lord. For I am a great king, says the Lord Almighty, and my name is to be feared among the nations. (Malachi 1:9-14)

And now, priests, this warning is for you. If you do not listen, and if you do not set your heart on honoring my name, says the Lord Almighty, I will send a curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have already cursed them, because you have not set your heart on honoring me. Because of you I will rebuke your descendants; I will smear on your faces the dung from your sacrifices, and you will be carried off with it. And you will know that I have sent you this warning so that my covenant with Levi may continue, says the Lord Almighty. (Malachi 2:1-4)

My covenant was with him, a covenant of life and peace, and I gave them to him; this called for reverence and he revered me and stood in awe of my name. True instruction was in his mouth and nothing false was found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and turned many away from sin. For the lips of a priest ought to preserve knowledge, and from his mouth people should seek instruction, because he is the messenger of the Lord Almighty. But you have turned from the way and by your teaching have caused many to stumble; you have violated the covenant with Levi, says the Lord Almighty. So I have caused you to be despised and humiliated before all the people, because you have not followed my ways but have shown partiality in matters of the law. (Malachi 2:5-9)

The Attitude of Offering

What is our attitude towards offering sacrifices today? Is it perfunctory? We should not serve our God carelessly. We must never become like Esau. Too many among us have experienced spiritual things. Almost everyone has personally experienced God. If we believe in God but do not honor Him as God, it is truly perilous. Since we are Christians, let us be outstanding Christians. We must begin with an attitude of dedication.

Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord Almighty. But you ask, 'How are we to return?' Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me. But you ask, 'How are we robbing you?' In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this, says the Lord Almighty, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. (Malachi 3:7-10)

We must adjust our attitude. Is tithing merely a test? If you know that God is a good God, you must have a correct attitude. Today, many brothers and sisters among us are still under the curse of poverty. We must restore a heart that trusts in God completely and reveres Him fully because we live by every word that comes from the mouth of God.

We must forsake sin and turn to God. How many among us have Mingding Destiny? We must obtain Mingding Destiny, for there is no blessing outside of Mingding Destiny. Do not imitate Esau, who in the end calls to heaven without response and to earth without result. Knowing the reality of the spiritual realm, we will know how great the name of the Lord is in all the earth. If we grasp only one thing in this world, let it be God. We must seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all other things will be added to us.

Our current situation is closely related to our pursuit of God's truth. I urge everyone to strive to seek God. Your problems are not problems with God. Recently, many disasters have occurred in the world. Many people died in the floods in Japan; floods are indiscriminate. The Phuket, Thailand, boat capsizing also caused many deaths. A young Thai soccer team hid in a cave for more than ten days before being rescued with great difficulty. We must know that these disasters are closely related to the spiritual realm.

Story 1: The Story of Building a House

Since I was young, I have heard many such stories about performing rituals when laying the foundation and completing the roof of a house. There are many strange sayings that are passed around. A few days ago, a sister's father was renovating his house in the countryside. As soon as the topic of repairing the house came up, his children burst into tears. He found us online to pray for him, and that night, his family had a dream. They dreamed of a female ghost in their house. The next day, they continued to build the house.

That sister told me that the worker who went up to the roof fell and was taken to the hospital. We prayed for him, but he still passed away. The roof was not very high. I was saddened by the death of a healthy person. During the prayer, the ghost began to manifest and speak: That person stepped on my head, so I killed him. How much psychological burden will the people living in this house bear? This world is very strange. The supernatural events we experience in this world are endless.

Story 2: The Story of Hospitalization

A classmate of mine told me about his frightening experience. One day, he felt unwell and went to the hospital. The hospital director was a good friend of his. The hospital beds were very tight, and there were no vacancies in his department. As a result, he was assigned to a ward in the oncology department. He was afraid to stay alone in that room, so he asked his friend to stay with him. He was a police officer and had a gun, which he placed under his pillow. Still feeling a little scared, he fell asleep.

In a half-sleep, half-awake state, four strong men suddenly came in and carried him away. He tried to reach for his gun, but he couldn't move, like a nightmare. He couldn't shout. His friend, the hospital director, who was with him in the ward, heard him yelling but couldn't speak. He reached out and turned on the light. As soon as the light came on, the four strong men disappeared, and he woke up.

Later, when we were eating together, he told me this story. After listening, I said, This thing is really deadly! You've experienced so much, yet you still haven't figured out the spiritual realm? Gradually, I came to understand that life and death are somewhat similar to Chinese legends, which say that Ox-Head and Horse-Face come from hell to capture people. I said, When you see Ox-Head and Horse-Face coming, your days are basically over.

Story 3: The Story of a Heart Attack

When I used to work in the Ministry of Aerospace, I had a colleague who also worked in the Ministry of Aerospace. We were both in the same research institute. Later, we both came to Singapore. Last year, I met her, and she shared with me her supernatural experience. One day, she felt discomfort in her heart, which was quite severe, so she went to the hospital and was scheduled for surgery that night. During the surgery, her heart stopped beating for nearly a minute.

What happened during that minute? She was on the operating table, and although she had been anesthetized, she should not have been aware of anything. However, she became unusually clear-headed. At this moment, someone walked in from the outside. This was actually happening in the spiritual realm. That person told her that someone was going to take her away and that she should not follow them. Then he disappeared. After a while, several people came in to take her away. At this time, she remembered and said, I can't go. The two sides were deadlocked.

All of this was happening in the spiritual realm, while the doctor only saw that her heart stopped beating halfway through the surgery. As a result, during the stalemate, someone suddenly said from behind, Let her go! Those people disappeared, and her life was saved again. Her spirit returned to her body, and the surgery was completed. Later, the doctor said that her heart had stopped for a long time during the surgery. Normally, when the heart stops, the person dies.

In fact, we read in the Bible that The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing (John 6:63). If you are living according to the flesh, I don't think you have understood it.

Story 4: My Mother's Story

Some time ago, I brought my mother to live with me. One day, my mother said something very strange. I immediately realized that something was wrong. I was very sensitive in my spirit and felt that it was not my mother! I grabbed an acupoint on her arm and said, Who are you? The voice inside was not my mother's voice at all. It was quite scary. She said, I am your mother. I thought, My mother doesn't talk like that. I pinched her acupoint hard and said, Who are you?

The stalemate continued. I didn't believe that she was my mother. I know a lot about spiritual things. After a while, that thing told me that it was Old Ma. I asked, When did you come? It said, I came at noon. I asked, Why did you come? It said, I came to see if your mother was dead! I said, You little brat, still playing tricks with me? I destroyed it.

After a period of prayer, I saw my mother gradually waking up. At this time, it was my mother who was speaking. I could hear my mother's voice very clearly. She said, Thank goodness for your prayers. I couldn't make you hear me when I called you; I was taken away. I asked, Where were you taken? She said that she was taken to a mountain and forced to climb a winding mountain road, being poked with bayonets. She climbed about two-thirds of the way up. She shouted desperately, but no matter how much she shouted, we couldn't hear her.

Later, she heard us praying. As soon as we prayed, a person wearing red clothes appeared and said, Let her go back! The ghosts released my mother. The person in red said, Go back and shepherd my little sheep. She described it to me very clearly. Her spirit returned from the mountain to her body, and she came back to life.

In fact, when people are alive, sometimes it is not your own mother or your own father; you don't know what is living inside them. That is to say, a person's body is a shell, and whatever spirit lives inside it is the spirit that speaks. At this point, I guessed that many people's spirits have actually been captured before they die. The living shell and the thing speaking inside are no longer your relatives. You know that some elderly people become confused before they die and don't even recognize their family members! The children ask them, Do you know who I am? and they start talking nonsense, You are the popcorn seller on the street.

Today, if you have seen people on their deathbeds, you often can't tell who they are! That is to say, the matter of being alive is closely related to the spiritual realm. When a person's body twitches or spasms inexplicably, some people's faces twitch suddenly, or their necks or legs twitch, sometimes the muscles twitch for no reason. Whatever spirit dwells there, there will be some abnormal changes in that area. Either the muscle becomes stiff or it twitches, in any case, it is uncomfortable and not right.

This reminds me that it is the spirit that gives life. These words are good. Where does the human spirit dwell? It dwells in the human heart. It is difficult for us to understand the structure of the heart. The heart is supposedly just a pump that circulates blood. When the heart stops beating, the person dies. Why does the muscle around the heart move? Can you understand it? What causes the heart to beat rhythmically? My personal guess is the spirit!

The human spirit dwells in the heart, and the beating of the heart is driven by the spirit. This is just a guess! Therefore, when the human spirit leaves the body, the heart stops beating. Why do I guess this way? Later, I found that when some spirits dwell in a person's muscles, the muscles will move.

One of our sisters received a copy of my commentary on Genesis, titled Unbelief is the Root of All Human Problems. What is unbelief? It is not believing in the spiritual realm, not believing that it is the spirit that gives life. When she came to me, she said that this thing was too miraculous. A spirit was attached to her, and that spirit often spoke to her.

That day, she took off her shoes and showed me her feet. When I looked at her feet, wow! It was simply too strange! Her instep was rippling like waves. And it was rippling very evenly, moving very smoothly, not at all like our insteps. After seeing it, I felt that ordinary people could not do it. If it wasn't a spirit, ordinary people couldn't do it!

She told me about her spiritual experiences. The ghost said to her, I want to eat watermelon. The ghost wanted to eat watermelon? She said, How do you want to eat it? She put the watermelon on the ground, and the ghost used her foot to step on the watermelon, crushing it. This is a true story! I was thinking that wherever the spirit dwells, it will move, moving extraordinarily.

So, brothers and sisters, after hearing my stories, won't you think about it? If you are spiritually blind and don't understand the spiritual realm, I can guarantee one thing: you will not live well. No matter how reasonable you are, you will not live well! Therefore, brothers and sisters, don't fall into the trap of being reasonable; you must enter the spiritual world to understand the reality of the spiritual realm and understand the dark forces that are manipulating and corrupting your life behind the scenes. Then, begin to be strong, take up the spiritual authority through Jesus Christ, strike the devil and the enemy, and be a victorious Christian.

So, as I told you about Malachi, if you don't believe in God and don't trust in God, how can you fight with ghosts? People will definitely lose when fighting with ghosts. People who trust in God will definitely win when fighting with ghosts! The principle is very simple. Therefore, do not live in the flesh; live in the Holy Spirit. Follow the Holy Spirit, not the desires of the flesh. Today, I am not telling you this principle; I want to tell you stories from the spiritual realm, interspersed with a little of my own commentary.

One year, when I was supervising graduation designs, there were five or six people. One of the girls suddenly fell in love with a boy and became obsessed with him. After confessing to the boy, the boy didn't like her. As a result, I often ran into her in the school cafeteria, where she would sit alone and cry. One day, the police called us because our phone numbers were in her phone. The police told us that she was standing at the entrance of a subway station near our school, like a statue, with her arms outstretched and her legs in a striding pose, like the images of workers, peasants, and soldiers we used to see on the streets, looking heroic. People who didn't know her thought it was performance art.

Some people saw her there on their way to work and ignored her. When they saw her still there after work, without moving, some curious people called the police. The police took her to a place. Later, the police notified us to send her to a mental hospital. We rushed to the mental hospital first. When she was brought in, she was handcuffed and shackled, with the shackles made of leather straps. Her whole body was stiff, her eyes were fierce, and her hands were outstretched. We didn't care whether it was a mental hospital or what. We began to pray for her. The police were also there at the time. There are many supernatural events in Singapore, so people are used to them.

It may seem inappropriate for a highly educated person like me to exorcise demons, but I really did destroy that demon! When the demon was destroyed, her body relaxed, like a cramp. Her body was stiff in a v-shape, and this state lasted for four or five hours. After praying for a long time, her body relaxed, and she sat up and told me that she wanted to believe in the Lord. She didn't stay in the mental hospital for more than a few days and was no longer mentally ill. In fact, it was because the demon was driven out. Where did the mental illness come from? Later, she was released, and I told her that she couldn't do this again. I still had some connections in the workplace, so I said to her, I'll help you find a job. You go to work, and don't mess around.

I asked her what had happened. She told me that she had gone to a place, a temple, and the master in the temple gave her a curse. Reciting that curse would make the boy like her. As a result, after she recited the curse, she saw that boy come to her house. In fact, it was not the boy at all, but a ghost disguised as the boy. Later, we didn't dare let her live in her original home and moved her to another student's home.

This situation is quite scary. What if she had a mental breakdown and stabbed someone to death? That would be very frightening! Before she was confined to the mental hospital, she was at home, talking to someone in her house for two days without going out. The landlord could hear her talking loudly. How scary! I and told her not to mess around anymore, or there would be trouble again. She said, Teacher, I didn't do it right last time. If I do it again this time, I will definitely get it right. These words really made me angry. I told her not to mess around again.

Spiritual Reality: Exorcism Only Through Jesus

Later, this sister reverted to her original state, behaving erratically and疯疯癫癫. Fearing a recurrence, she was readmitted to the mental hospital. Daily work was extremely busy, and I still had to care for a mentally ill person. The next day, I took one of her classmates to see her. That classmate is still working in Singapore and witnessed these spiritual matters firsthand. I want to tell you that the spiritual world is very real. Regardless of whether you have personally seen these things, you should reflect on how real the spiritual world is, and trust in Jesus, and exorcise demons in the name of Jesus.

When visiting her, her face was covered in rice soup, she smelled foul, and her eyes were constantly rolling back. It was clear she was acting like a madwoman. I had some understanding of this because she was controlled by demons. She couldn't control her own body, but her spirit was awake. I think she could hear what I was saying. I told her: You can call out to all the religious leaders, all the religious masters you know, one by one, and see if they can save you. If none of them work, then shout, 'Jesus, save me!' See if Jesus can save you! Afterward, I left the mental hospital to attend to my own affairs, but I was still worried that such a good child had ended up like this.

So, the next day, I went to see her again. She was cleaned up and dressed normally. I asked her: Do you remember what I said when I came to see you yesterday? She said that she remembered everything and did as I told her. Calling out to others was useless, but when she said, Jesus, save me! she regained control of her body. Although the evil spirit was still inside, it could no longer control her. Having never experienced these things before, this time, I experienced and witnessed it firsthand. Jesus is really great! So effective! Later, when I spoke with her, I found that sometimes she spoke for herself, and sometimes the demon spoke. I could tell when the demon was speaking. After she finished speaking, the demon would争夺 her mouth.

I led her in prayer in that hospital room to cast out the demon. The demon said: I won't leave. She has a handle! What handle did she have? It turned out that she liked Leslie Cheung. I asked her if she really liked Leslie Cheung, and she said yes. Her classmate also testified that she had collected many of Leslie Cheung's CDs and watched his movies repeatedly, deeply fascinated! So I led her in prayer to cut off these attachments. I would say a sentence, and she would repeat it. Later, the demon left, and the doctors could no longer detect any mental illness. It was completely gone.

Once she recovered, she was discharged from the hospital. I said to her: I'll introduce you to a job. You have to work hard and stop messing around. I really don't have time to deal with you like this. I am usually very busy, often working until three or four in the morning. I told her not to mess around anymore, but she insisted on doing it again, and later she was admitted to the mental hospital again. Her father came to Singapore from China and took her back home. A good child was tormented into mental illness. So, brothers and sisters, today we must know the reality of the spiritual world.

Calamities Originate from Spirits; Seeking God Brings Deliverance

Recently, 13 members of a Thai junior football team went to explore a cave after playing football. That cave has an old, tragic legend of a Thai princess, similar to our Chinese stories of 梁山伯与祝英台 and 董永和七仙女. At the entrance of the cave, there is a small temple to commemorate this princess who committed suicide for love. I saw online that these children ventured into the cave and offended the spirits of the cave. Why did it take so long to rescue them? Because the spirit was angry, and it kept raining, and the cave was flooded, trapping the people inside. Recently, they sent me a video of divers with diving gear entering the cave, which was very dangerous, with very deep water. And that cave is ten kilometers long.

Thailand is a very spiritual place. There is also a saying online that these people offended the spirits of the cave, and then they hired a master, and the master performed rituals, and the spirits released the children, and in the end, all the children were rescued. These are just myths and legends. There are all kinds of stories. As for whether anyone saw these spirits? No one saw them. But one thing must be understood: Behind every calamity, there are spirits.

Can anyone really explain what calamity is? I don't know about you, but my body is very sensitive to the spiritual world. For example, when I drive on the streets of Singapore, I am particularly sensitive when passing some intersections. Some years ago, a wealthy man was killed in a Ferrari at an intersection. Every time I pass that intersection, I feel a blockage in my chest, very sensitive. So when you see me driving, I start to hiccup. I react to all the places where accidents often occur.

For example, when buying a house, some people say that you can hold a baby or a dog, because they can see what human eyes cannot see. If the child cries desperately inside, it means there is a problem with the house. What I want to say is that the matters of the spiritual world are very strange, so everyone should have a better understanding of the spiritual world.

Later, I practically proved one thing: the name of Jesus is very powerful in the spiritual world, and many demons tremble at the name of Jesus! I hope everyone doesn't listen to these things as just stories. After listening, can you wake up? The spiritual world is so real, shouldn't you reflect on how you should live? Behind those mental illnesses and depressions are demons. The question is, if you are so powerful, why not release all those mentally ill people? But God has set a rule: if people do not desire to seek deliverance from Him, then it is very difficult to release them.

In other words, it's not just my wishful thinking. I wish they could be released from this! There is such a record in the Bible: In the time of Elisha, only one leper named Naaman was healed, while the other lepers did not want to seek Elisha. According to the interpretation of the Bible, it is not an effective way for us Christians to go to the hospital and pray for those patients out of our own wishful thinking. These people must first believe. If they do not believe, it is really difficult to perform miracles and help them.

Faith is a very spiritual thing. Don't just listen to what I have said as stories. Think about it. Where is the answer? It is in Jesus! So the first course I wrote was from new believer to believer, that is, the spiritual world is real. The stories I have shared with everyone today may be written into a book in the future, perhaps a new era's 聊斋. The spiritual world is real. Don't deny this, and don't interpret it blindly. Only those who can solve problems are qualified to interpret! Those who have experienced the spiritual world must be victorious in the spiritual world!

May God bless everyone!
