Proactively seeking God's Revelation

Let us turn to a new chapter. Previously, we discussed how to study the Bible, how to conduct healing and deliverance, the revelation of a victorious church, and church pastoral care. Now, we will discuss obtaining one's Mingding Destiny and becoming a blessing! Before we delve into obtaining one's Mingding Destiny and becoming a blessing, let us first review how this Chinese Mingding Destiny came into being.

It originated from a simple question, so simple it could not be simpler. What simple thing? In the Bible, we often see that with Jesus' touch, the eyes of the blind were healed, and the legs of the lame were made whole. However, we now see a common phenomenon where many churches lack blessings, and many people still live under the bondage of sickness, seeking healing everywhere, but to no avail.

In the New Testament, accounts of casting out demons are frequent, but why is the current church so different from the church recorded in the Bible? Moreover, we see many preachers getting cancer. Before preachers get cancer, they often visit patients in hospitals, offering words of comfort. However, there is no such record in the Bible.

There are even documentaries that follow a nasopharyngeal cancer patient, who is also a Christian. They follow him from the onset of nasopharyngeal cancer through treatment to his eventual death. They seem to want to demonstrate through this film how strong this Christian is because of his faith. But I really do not see such testimonies in the Bible. Yet today, many testimonies are like this.

This brings me great confusion. Why is it so inconsistent with what is described in the Bible? Moreover, what is recorded in the Bible is completely unseen by us. What we see is not the situation recorded in the Bible. But many people do not ask this question: Are we mistaken?

If a program I write does not work, I cannot blame the computer. If a car I build cannot run, I cannot blame other people's cars for running. An engineering-style faith is very simple. For example, if I build a plane that cannot fly, can I say that all planes cannot fly? The church I see in the Bible is like that, but the current church is like this. Can I say that the church should be like this? I cannot accept such a conclusion, so I began to seek!

Actually, before becoming a pastor, I had already started building a church because I saw many people in need of service. However, my methods of service at that time were also influenced by many churches. I visited and learned how they did things, trying to imitate them. Now, a pastor who established a church ten years before me comes to learn from me how to build a church. Back then, I learned from him, but today he comes to learn from me. Why? Because I discovered what was wrong and made timely adjustments.

Back then, I learned from him, preparing a lot of delicious food to attract people to the church. At that time, my thinking was really very low. Even now, when I think about it, I still feel very low. Braised beef, roast chicken, roast duck... I had money and could make a lot of delicious things. Wouldn't people come when they heard there was delicious food? They might not come when they heard about Jesus, but they would definitely come when they heard there was delicious food. After they came, I would tell them about Jesus.

I thought this method was very good. After they came, I would tell them about Jesus, first attracting them with braised beef, roast chicken, and roast duck. I know that even now, many pastors still do this. But what were the results? From that moment on, I seemed to be cursed, and in reality, I was cursed. My life and work became besieged on all sides.

Originally, my work was very blessed, but it was over after I established the church. At that time, I thought I was the modern-day Job! Look, I contributed money and effort. The braised beef was also bought with my money, attracting people to believe in the Lord. Could this be wrong? I contributed money and effort. How could it be wrong?

But the problem came. It did not conform to the Bible. So in the end, I lost my job. My job was a high-paying one. Losing this job was very miserable, and I had many mortgages to pay. At that time, the situation was really tragic. But I am very grateful to God. At that time, God let me know that I had done it wrong and needed to start seeking again.

Therefore, do not think that serving will not bring curses. Actually, curses are produced by not carefully observing and following God's word. If you do not serve according to God's way, can you not be cursed? Does preaching the gospel not bring curses? That is not the case. If you preach the wrong gospel, you will still be cursed. This immediately explained many problems. At that time, I thought I was the modern-day Job, but later I realized that I had done it wrong.

What is the most amazing thing about an engineer? It only counts when it is done! At that time, I began to kneel down and pray, seeking how to build a church properly. I think God really favored me! After taking a big detour, learning from others to build a church, and learning it wrong, I began to seek again.

Actually, I encourage all the brothers and sisters among us not to take God's word as a joke and then do things blindly on your own. That is not the way. I tell you, God will never be wrong. It is often ourselves who are wrong. Just like when we write programs, if the program you write cannot run, do not blame the computer. Blame yourself for not writing it correctly.

Blessings come from putting God's Word into Practice

God has been waiting for us there for a long time. If there are some pastors and preachers among us, then I encourage you to make sure you do the right thing when building a church. I took many detours in the past, suffered a lot, shed a lot of sweat, and even more tears because I did not understand at that time! But when I earnestly sought, God's revelation came upon me.

How did God's revelation come upon me? It came through reading the Bible. There are many things in the Bible that are difficult to understand. In the process of reading the Bible, we need to interpret the scriptures for our brothers and sisters. But how should we interpret them? We certainly cannot interpret them blindly! Brothers and sisters, if you listen to my sermons and Bible studies, you may repeatedly hear me say: God is truly a faithful God! When I knelt down to seek God properly, God's revelation came. At that time, I was studying Genesis, chapter by chapter, and every chapter was full of light.

How do I study the Bible? It's actually very simple. I would ask God how to implement the things in the scriptures. I did not do it right in the past, but I must do it right now. How exactly can God's word be implemented? The most important concept of Chinese Mingding Destiny is to put God's word into practice after reading it. This is in Matthew 7:24-27.

It is useless to hear God's word and not put it into practice. Why? I have read the Bible a lot, several copies until they are worn out, in Chinese, English, and various translations. God's word is like thunder in my ears! If you carefully observe and follow God's laws and decrees... It's not just carefully observing; you must also follow them, right? It's very simple; you must put God's word into practice!

Putting it into practice is very interesting. Two years ago, my mother developed Alzheimer's disease. I gradually eliminated the demon of Alzheimer's. That was really good! Once, before I shared my Bible study, my mother came into my room and told me: I want to be a preacher! I said that's great! An eighty-year-old woman with the dream of being a preacher. But she said she had a problem, which was that she couldn't remember! Then I asked if she could remember how to make dumplings. She said she couldn't forget that. Why? Because she knew how to do it and had been doing it for many years.

What I mean is, if you have done something, it is hard to forget. If you have learned to swim, learned to ride a bicycle, learned to make dumplings, then it is difficult to forget these things! My mother had Alzheimer's for two years, and she couldn't do these things at all. But after she recovered, she could do them all again! I recorded a video of her and sent it to the family group, and everyone was surprised that she could recover like this!

Some people ask me, what does all this mean? I am saying that if you put God's word into practice, then you will not forget it! If you do not put it into practice and just talk about it, then you are talking nonsense. After reading God's word, you must think about how to put it into practice. The most fundamental thing about Chinese Mingding Destiny is to obtain one's Mingding Destiny and become a blessing. If you go back to the Bible and look carefully, you will see that God's blessings are all conditional. How can you be blessed? It is by carefully observing and following God's word, and it is by carefully observing and following all of God's laws and decrees, all of them!

You may think that this is too difficult, too difficult to keep all of them! Yes, you will be punished if you violate even one law. Take traffic rules as an example. You don't have to violate all the traffic rules; you will be fined as long as you violate one! What I mean is very simple: putting God's word into practice is the only way to be blessed. So how do you put God's word into practice? It is by carefully observing and following. Back when I was building the church, didn't I do it wrong? I lost my job and was cursed, so whenever I had time, I would pray and seek how to put God's word into practice.

Blessings Come From Obtaining Mingding Destiny

So how do we put so many words in the Bible into practice? If you want me to summarize it into one thing, it is to obtain one's Mingding Destiny! Psalm 133 says that the blessings Mingding Destinyed by the Lord will descend on Mount Zion. So I think the word Mingding Destiny is very good!

It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore. (Psalm 133:3)

Whether you say this word was invented by me personally or extended from the Bible, let's not draw a conclusion for the time being. I have set the theme of this article as obtaining one's Mingding Destiny and becoming a blessing. Where does this come from? When I read Genesis to chapter 12, I found that God said something to Abraham that I thought was particularly good:

The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” (Genesis 12:1-3)

So blessings come from Mingding Destiny. What was Abraham seeking? I call what he sought Mingding Destiny. Mingding Destiny is the meaning of your life. If you live for yourself, can you be blessed? It is very difficult. I have seen many phenomena of not being blessed, including many pastors who are also living under a curse. Do not think that just because someone is a pastor, they are carefully observing and following God's word.

Carefully observing and following God's word brings blessings, and not carefully observing and following brings curses. To see if a person is blessed, just look at the way they live. There is no need to comfort them with false words: This is the best gift that God has disguised for you. This is useless. So I think we must all come out of this delusion. We must go back to the Bible and look, and we must never take the phenomena we encounter as truth. In fact, evangelicals also say this. They replace truth with phenomena. There are too many of these facts, so many myths about the faith of Jesus Christ must be removed!

I received a letter from a pastor among us. In the letter, he said that he implemented it according to my words, and as a result, many people in their church were healed. My words do not represent the Bible, but after I interpreted the words of the Bible, he implemented them accordingly, and the implementation had an effect. Let us ask, is healing God's promise? Definitely!

Therefore, we must not only have an understanding of the interpretation of the Bible but also understand the results of implementing it. So I found one thing that is very simple: without Mingding Destiny, there is no blessing. If you only live for yourself, you are lucky if you are not cursed, let alone blessed.

Paying the Price for Mingding Destiny

Our brothers and sisters must know that obtaining one's Mingding Destiny and becoming a blessing is really important, but many people do not want to obtain their Mingding Destiny, do not want to live for God, and only want to live for themselves. Then I can only give you one sentence, which is called being cursed. If you do not want to be cursed, then obtain your Mingding Destiny. Think about it, haven't I talked about a child who calculates five plus four as eight? This child is extremely selfish. He is not extremely selfish today; he has been selfish since he was a child. We have given him a lot of training, and he has received great grace as a result.

We do this not because we will get any benefits, but because we are willing to pay the price. But after we paid this price, we told him that he should give a tithe. As a result, he said that giving a tithe was not okay. How much grace did he receive? Originally, he was a piece of junk, and now he is somewhat useful, but he is still very selfish. He started being selfish since he was a child, and then five plus four became eight, right? Can this be blessed? No.

We all want to be blessed, but where is the road to blessing? It is in carefully observing and following all of God's words. But there are many words of God. What if we can't remember them all? It doesn't matter. We summarize God's words into a system. This system is called Chinese Mingding Destiny, and Chinese Mingding Destiny is interpreted with Mingding Destiny. Let me talk about where the word Mingding Destiny actually comes from. In Genesis, God wanted to bless Abraham, and Abraham was to become a blessing to all nations, which is Mingding Destiny! Abraham was a person who sought Mingding Destiny, and so was his son Isaac, and so was his grandson Jacob.

Jacob was the second son in his family, but he knew the covenant that God had made with his father and his grandfather. He wanted to obtain that covenant. He really wanted to obtain that blessing, so he did not hesitate to deceive his father and paid a lot of effort for it, not dating until he was 70 years old. This person had a lot of character. He wanted to obtain the birthright; that was the Mingding Destiny he wanted.

What was the result? Jacob obtained it! Even though he paid a heavy price! Many people criticize Jacob, saying that Jacob was a liar, so he was later deceived. These people are moral experts. When we read the Bible, we never saw Jesus or Paul criticize Jacob. But why do these people criticize Jacob today? Because they don't know that Jacob paid such a heavy price for Mingding Destiny.

If you read further down the Bible, you will find that there are more people who paid the price for Mingding Destiny. Joseph also paid a heavy price to become the savior of his family; that was his Mingding Destiny. What was Tamar pretending to be a prostitute for? For Mingding Destiny. Later, Tamar became a woman in the genealogy of Jesus Christ. There are also Rahab and Ruth. These people are all pursuing one thing: Mingding Destiny. They did not live for themselves, but for God. They were willing to pay the price to become a blessing to many people. In this world, anyone who proclaims the name of Jesus Christ will also proclaim the names of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Tamar, Rahab, and Ruth.

Jesus Christ came into this world to become a blessing to all nations. If you live out a small Jesus Christ, can't you bless many people? This is our Mingding Destiny; this is a continuous line. So in the previous lecture, we said that if a person cannot destroy worldly dreams, he has no way to seek Mingding Destiny.

Without this foundation, you also have no way to walk the path of faith in Jesus Christ. You ask me why my mother's Alzheimer's got better? Because I have Mingding Destiny. Why can't other people's mother's Alzheimer's get better? He can't even bless his own mother, so who can he bless? This is because he has no Mingding Destiny.

This Mingding Destiny must come from carefully observing and following God's will. May God's will be done on earth, or rather, may God's will be done in us. If we carefully observe and follow God's word and begin to become a person with Mingding Destiny, then we are equivalent to becoming a blessed person. I asked a person, do you want to become a rich, blessed person? He said he dreamed of it!

But where is the road to blessing? If a person lives in emptiness, how can God bless you? When God sits on the throne and looks down on the earth, people with Mingding Destiny become his treasure, while people without Mingding Destiny live in emptiness and folly, which is foolishness in God's eyes. Obtaining Mingding Destiny and becoming a blessing, do you think it is for ourselves to be blessed? It is not! Becoming a blessing to others, blessing others, is called Mingding Destiny.

God, bless me, bless me, bless me! Everyone come and pray for me! So that God will bless me! For such a person, I think you can just give up. You will become a model of cursing. Why? Jesus Christ offered himself completely. We receive blessings from Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is exalted to the highest place and sits on the throne. The path of completely offering oneself is not a path to be blessed.

Those with Mingding Destiny: God Magnifies Their Name

I find that there are scores of selfish people. Some leave a word: Pastor, please don't curse me! Why would I curse you? It is God who curses you! Of course, we are not the only church on earth. If a person has Mingding Destiny, they will be blessed wherever they are. If you do not have Mingding Destiny, when the curse ferments and bears fruit, you will have to swallow it yourself.

When we walk according to the word of God, do you know what happens? We are on earth as it is in heaven. When I cast out demons, the evil spirits said: Leave quickly, leave quickly, this person is not easy to deal with, cannot stay here, he comes from heaven! It is not that I come from heaven, but because we have obtained Mingding Destiny, we sit with Him in the heavens through the grace of Jesus Christ. How can this not be blessed?

Blessings and curses are both spiritual matters. Among us selfish Christians, I remind you again, if you are a selfish person, do not even think about it, blessings have nothing to do with you. When we become a blessing, healing the sick and casting out demons will be very effective. A person with Mingding Destiny must be a person who casts out demons, must be a figure who can dominate the spiritual world, must be a person who can trample on the devil's enemies, must be a person who can pass through levels and defeat generals in the spiritual world, and then the devil will run away when he hears his name.

Because our reputation is earned in the spiritual realm. Ghosts often came to my mother to see if she was dead. When ghosts come, people's reaction is very simple, that is, upset and uncomfortable. As a result, I prayed for her a few words, and my mother was fine. Then my mother said: It's good to have a son! I'm fine after you pray for a few words. I heard them say, Her son is here, run away quickly.

People with Mingding Destiny will be like this. If you ask me if it is correct, I will tell you to look at the results. The Bible says, And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; 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.

I think that healing the sick and casting out demons is something that is done, and healing the sick and casting out demons must be a primary stage, not a high stage. However, many churches regard healing the sick and casting out demons as a very high-level thing. Jesus Christ only trained the disciples for a while, and then let them go out to cast out demons. He also trained seventy disciples, and soon let them go out to cast out demons. These are really not high-level things.

Today's churches have many fallacies: you cannot cast out demons because your life is not good enough. Jesus trained twelve disciples and let them heal the sick and cast out demons, but as for how their lives were, forget it. So we say that healing the sick and casting out demons is something that is done. What is 'doing it'? It is when you begin to obtain Mingding Destiny and implement the word of God, you will find that you have obtained this ability.

Therefore, we must become a blessing to others. If you see a person in poverty, can you solve the problem by giving him some money? No. A curse is a bottomless pit. Even if you are a billionaire, it is useless to give him all the money. If you want to bless him, remove the curse of his poverty and bring him into blessing. When we meet sick people, we cast out the evil spirits of disease from them, and we become their blessing. Therefore, serving people is called becoming a blessing to people, shepherding God's flock, and laying down one's life for the flock. This is becoming a blessing.

Those who bless you will be blessed, and those who curse you will be cursed. Listen to these words, who would dare to curse you? God will protect you, God will be pleased with you, who can resist you? If God is for us, who can be against us? Once we enter this state of obtaining Mingding Destiny, we will definitely be blessed. If you are a person who becomes a blessing to others, God will surely magnify your name, make you a great nation, and God will surely bless you. Isn't this very simple?

If God is pleased with you, who can resist? What a wonderful promise. A person who becomes a blessing to others, God will surely bless you and make you a great nation. Someone said: I must go to the teacher and have him bless me! I said: You better forget it. With your mentality, it is better to say in your heart that I want to become a blessing to many people.”

If you desire to become a blessing to many people, God guarantees to bless you. You don’t need me to bless you. Otherwise, why would God bless you? Bless you? It would be good if He didn’t curse you. How can selfish people receive blessings? So, begin to break the illusory, worldly dreams in your heart and desire to become a blessing to others.

Brothers and sisters, do you desire to become a blessing to others? I often hear some brothers and sisters say: Where do I have so much time to bless others? I have to raise children and work... These people are stupid and don't know that God will bless them. In fact, these things cannot stop you, because blessing others is your Mingding Destiny. If you really desire it, then you will put down what you are doing and do the most important thing.

A few days ago, I passed by a mental hospital and felt deeply moved. I used to go there often, because whenever young students were sent in, I would visit them. Although the church was not corrected in that era, I sought God, and God revealed to me and led me back to the right path. If you continue to live for yourself, then you are a selfish person. Those who live for themselves will live in a curse, and you will be beneath all the nations of the world. If you know God but do not act according to God's word, deliberately disobeying God's word, I dare to boldly prophesy that you will suffer a deep curse, because not a single word of God will fail.

Gladly and Willingly Become Disciples of Jesus Christ

We often encounter this kind of thing, that is, after mentally ill or depressed people are healed in our midst, they will go back to live their own little lives. Their Mingding Destiny seems to be just living their lives, and then they euphemistically say: Doesn't God want me to take good care of my family? Sounds reasonable, doesn't it? But what does the Bible say?

And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life. (Matthew 19:29)

This is what is called the word of God. If your Mingding Destiny is to take care of your family, that is not the word of God. The word of God is for us to become a blessing to all nations on earth. That blessing started from Abraham, and we imitate Abraham's faith, which is this kind of faith. Abraham's faith is to see through the essence of human life. If people see through the essence of living, they cannot live badly. If a person only looks at himself and only takes care of himself, then you cannot but become a curse, because the word of God is established in heaven.

When we finish reading the word of God, the word Mingding Destiny suddenly runs through it, so we call it Mingding Destiny theology. Mingding Destiny theology is living for God, that is Mingding Destiny. We have finally come to this world, what do you want to live for? “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations. But today many people are not preaching the gospel of making disciples, but preaching the gospel of being a believer. A believer is just an intermediate semi-finished product, and a disciple is the final finished product. What God wants is disciples. But today many churches have forgotten it. After believing in Jesus, it's over. In the end, they only consider themselves, which is selfish.

I want you to pray for me, pray for my work, pray for my children... It's all this kind of thing! So, brothers and sisters, we must begin to gradually break your worldly value system step by step, because it is nothing but vanity of vanities. So what does it mean to obtain Mingding Destiny? It is to gladly and willingly become a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ.

If you love your parents more than you love Jesus, then you are not worthy to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. In this generation, there are countless people who love their wives more than Jesus Christ and love their jobs more than Jesus. Can such people become disciples of Jesus Christ? If they are not even disciples, are they still Christians? A Christian is not just going to church on Sunday to sit there. A Christian is to become a disciple of Jesus Christ!

A Christian is to forsake everything for God and follow God. Whoever forsakes everything will receive a hundredfold in this life and eternal life in the life to come! What is this if not a blessing? So, brothers and sisters, we must begin to know one thing, that when we begin to forsake for God, that is when we receive blessings. If you ask me how to be blessed? Obtaining Mingding Destiny is the beginning of being blessed!

Mingding Destiny is to live for God and implement God's word, implementing a complete system of faith. Man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of God. Do not the disciples of Jesus Christ live even more by every word that comes from the mouth of God? Summarizing all the words that come from the mouth of God is called Chinese Mingding Destiny theology. Chinese Mingding Destiny theology has a complete discussion. Everyone can go online to listen and see what Chinese Mingding Destiny theology is all about.

I dare not say that Chinese Mingding Destiny theology has corrected everything, because we are still constantly seeking and constantly adding to it. There is no end to knowing God. If you implement the entire system of Chinese Mingding Destiny theology, I can tell you for sure that you cannot but be blessed! Obtaining Mingding Destiny and becoming a blessing, I think there is still a long way to go. Christians must also come out of a fallacy. Some people think that they were saved in 2012 or 2014. People who say these things have no appearance of being saved at all. They live for their own little things all day long. How is it possible to be saved?

I was saved in 2012! I was saved in 2014! I was saved last year! What is being saved? You don't look like Jesus Christ at all. You live for yourself all day long. How is it possible to be saved? If I ask them if they want to live a blessed life, they will definitely answer that they dream of it. Then start obtaining Mingding Destiny and start learning to be disciples of Jesus Christ!

This is a great test, because it is to really forsake many things for Jesus Christ! But it is not that you will have nothing left after forsaking, but that you will receive a hundredfold in this life and eternal life in the life to come! Forsaking is just a means, obtaining is the goal! I think these words are very well said.

Conclusion

Brothers and sisters, if you are a church builder, then start building the church according to God's word! If you are a Christian, then start becoming a disciple of Jesus and desire to become a blessing to others! God's will is constantly being revealed to us. We have received freely, so we give freely!

Even if there are a thousand or ten thousand churches with Mingding Destiny, they will not be able to serve this generation, because there is too little blessing on this earth! There is too little true gospel! Brothers and sisters, I encourage you again, do not be afraid, and do not be alarmed, learn to forsake, and in the spiritual world, you will see God magnify your name! The devil will run away when he hears your name, because God will bless you, God will be with you, and will personally lead you to become a blessing to this generation!

May God bless everyone.
