【Sermon】Deliverance Series 08: When Demons Come, Seek the Pastor!

2019-12-15 30,054 Deliverance Series God's Love Exorcism Deliverance Theology Church Planting Unity

Introduction

Over the past period, we have been sharing about the matter of casting out demons. We had always thought that casting out demons had little to do with God's love. Actually, casting out demons is closely related to God's love. God loves us, how could He possibly want us to be controlled by demons? If we are controlled by demons, our God would want us to be released.

Why do people possessed by demons seek out pastors? Because the church is a connection in love, and God's love can only be revealed when we need God the most. We all know that being controlled by demons is a very difficult thing. I often see many Christians who have believed for many years being controlled by demons, but they cannot be released in traditional churches, which is something that surprises me very much. How do I know? Because they come to me, and I release them from the hands of the devil, because the love of Jesus motivates us. Some people are released in a few minutes, some in a few hours, a few days, or even a few months, or even a whole year.

In the process of casting out demons, we learn a very important lesson of patience, for he who endures to the end will be saved. That is, when we persevere one minute longer than the devil, the devil must be cast out! The church is by no means just about preaching sermons and creating a stage for people to perform. The church is a place to dispense God's love. I learned a lot of lessons from my mother. Although my mother was often taken away by demons, she was still alive. The way she spoke and acted often seemed very strange, which was a very eerie thing. When her spirit was taken away, she was still alive, but at this time it was no longer herself, it was the devil living in her.

She also said to me: I will pray myself, you don't need to take care of me! Later, I learned that praying by herself was what the devil said, because the devil did not want me to pray for my mother. Later, I taught her: If the devil comes, what do you do? She said: If the devil comes, I will beat it! I said: You are already controlled, how can you beat the devil? The correct way is to find a pastor when the devil comes.

No matter how big the problems of this pastor are, or how the people he pastors are, I have found something very surprising, that is, the effect is very good when the pastor prays for his sheep. Once I asked God why this was so, and God's response surprised me very much. God said: This is called building the church. After pondering over it, I went back to the Bible to find the basis. I found that if everyone prays for themselves before Jesus, wouldn't the church become a temple? Self-cultivation cannot build a church. If everyone hides in a secret room, what will the church become?

In fact, the most hateful thing is that some pastors, because they are afraid of trouble, let their sheep pray more by themselves. You will find that I rarely say such things, because the church is a place to love one another. When people are controlled by demons, when people encounter problems, it is when they need pastors the most. Precisely because of this, I have spent a lot of time training the pastors among us.

In earlier years, I often asked myself, if I encountered these people who were controlled by demons, those who encountered great troubles, what would Jesus do if He were here? Later, I found that if it were Jesus, He would release those people from the control of the devil. Later, I also told myself that I should also release these people from the control of the devil. Although I cannot do it, I must work hard to do it. The final result is very shocking, and the glory of God is manifested through me again and again. This is God's will, our gospel is to set the captives free and to liberate the oppressed.

For a period of time, I was working and studying theology at the same time. I loved God very much and wanted to understand God's will more. When a theological professor talked about one of the topics, he asked everyone to ask if they didn't understand, so I asked him: If it were Jesus, how would Jesus see it? As a result, the theological professor's words completely shattered my theological dream. He said: I am not Jesus, how would I know! If you don't know what God's will is, then what am I learning from you?

So I tell everyone, instead of saying that when demons come, find a pastor, it is better to say that a good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep! I think that a good shepherd laying down his life for his sheep may be more suitable for the title of this talk, but since it is a series on casting out demons, let's title it When Demons Come, Find a Pastor! There are two meanings to this talk. One is to encourage those who are controlled by demons, if you still have a clear consciousness, you need to find a pastor; the more important aspect is to encourage all those among us who are involved in serving, or who have not yet been involved in serving, to desire to become a person who loves God. If you love God, you will shepherd God's flock of sheep.

Scripture

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. (John 15:4-12)

Prayer

Lord, let your love be poured out in our hearts, and use your love to motivate us! Motivate us to go to the post of serving, let us always be in you, and you always be in us, let us become a person who bears fruit. Lord, motivate us, no matter what level we are at, let us be able to run with all our might, constantly improve, constantly grow up to adulthood, full of the stature of Jesus Christ, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Abiding in the Lord

Many brothers and sisters will find that some churches have effective prayers, while some churches have ineffective prayers. There was a sister who wanted to have children very much. She had been a believer in her church for many years, but she could not get pregnant. Because of a chance encounter, she came among us, and soon became pregnant. The child was born, and now the child is more than one year old. This is very shocking. Why is this so? Because the victorious church is the foundation of healing and deliverance.

In the process of doing leadership training, we mentioned that the victorious church is the foundation of healing and deliverance. This is why the church is victorious, and the healing and deliverance of the church will be very effective. If the church is not victorious, many times it is indebted to itself. In fact, the victorious church is in the Lord Jesus Christ, abiding in the Lord, and united in the love of the Lord Jesus. The church is the body of the Lord Jesus.

There are many churches in the Lord Jesus, and there are many churches that are not in the Lord Jesus at all. If you come among us and find that our church is not in the Lord Jesus, then you are in vain among us, because you will find that you cannot get grace among us, and such a church cannot be regarded as a church. Don't think that just hanging up a sign is a church, or sticking the three words Christian on your forehead is a Christian, or coming to church and sitting down is a Christian. It is not like that at all.

And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. (Matthew 16:18)

This is the foundation of healing and deliverance. In fact, the most important thing for the church is to be in the love of the Lord, the church is a connection of loving one another, that is, to dwell/abide in the Lord.

If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done/accomplished for you. (John 15:7)

Our brothers and sisters must know that the victorious church is the foundation of healing and deliverance. That is to say, when brothers and sisters are controlled, it is a very important concept that you come to the church to find your pastor. We must know for sure that the church is the body of Jesus Christ, who is the fullness of Him who fills all in all. In fact, this sentence is mentioned a lot in Ephesians, and many people have examined this passage, but they cannot see the glory that God should manifest in their midst.

And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. (Ephesians 1:22-23)

If the church is not in the love of the Lord Jesus, the church is powerless. That is why it is said that the love of the Heavenly Father is the most powerful weapon to cast out demons. If it is the fullness of Him who fills all in all, the body of Jesus Christ, this church carries great power, and this church will also be built on the rock of Jesus Christ. Today we must know that loving one another is living in the love of the Lord Jesus Christ. Maybe everyone will feel a bit too theoretical after listening to it. It doesn't matter, there are still many things to practice. If you observe carefully, you will come to the same conclusion. It is a very good proof if the church can overcome the power of Hades.

And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. (Matthew 16:19)

Obeying God's Commands is Being in the Lord’s Love

As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. (John 15:9-10)

What kind of commandment is it to obey the commands of the Lord Jesus? When John wrote the Gospel of John, there was actually such an arrangement in the dark:

Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves. Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. (John 14:11-14)

If you think about it carefully, abiding in the Lord is actually obeying God's commands. We have always thought that abiding in the love of the Lord is receiving God's love, but it is not. In fact, it is distributing God's love/dispensing God's love. What is love?

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

Love is to give out. If we abide in the Lord's love, we will do what Jesus did. The best model for keeping and following God's commands is the Lord Jesus, and then find a second-best one, that is the Apostle Paul. If the Lord Jesus and the Apostle Paul are our models, then we will do what the Lord Jesus did, and what the Lord Jesus did is what we should do, and it is clearly stated in the Gospel of John.

Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. (John 14:12)

Most of the things that the Lord Jesus did were healing and deliverance, that is the love of the Lord. Seeing someone who was oppressed by a demon, someone who had been hunchbacked for many years, the Lord Jesus released them from the control of the devil. As a result, the Pharisees were unhappy because they felt that the Lord Jesus had violated the Sabbath. So what is Jesus Christ's point of view? Shouldn't this people of God who are oppressed by the devil be released on the Sabbath? In fact, healing and deliverance is the most important work of the church. From the Gospel of Matthew to the Gospel of John, we will see that what Jesus Christ did was to release the captives.

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound. (Isaiah 61:1)

In fact, this is the love of God. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, and the love of God is manifested in this.

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5)

In this way, God's love is manifested through the offering of Jesus Christ. But today the church has lost its power, and then cannot release those who are bound. As a result, the devil has released many lies: Healing and deliverance is not important, it is Pentecostal, it may be heresy, you have to be careful, it is important to go to heaven, don't get yourself into heresy, and in the end you won't even be able to get into heaven. This kind of lie is very powerful.

Many people think they are orthodox, so let's take a look at what the Bible says. When we see those who are controlled by demons, those who are bound by diseases, is it called love if we don't release them? It doesn't matter, you can go to heaven in the future. In fact, when the devil is on a person, if this person finds his pastor, the pastor should release the love of God, and he can release him from the control of the devil.

And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. (John 14:13)

Ponder this carefully, is this not the case? Indeed, glorifying the Father is closely linked to healing and deliverance. I can cite numerous examples.

So that the crowd wondered, when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, the lame walking and the blind seeing. And they praised the God of Israel. (Matthew 15:31)

If it is to give glory to God, let us examine the Gospel of Luke, which largely speaks of such matters.

Immediately he stood up in their presence, took what he had been lying on and went home glorifying God. Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.” (Luke 5:25-26)

If you give a bowl of rice to a blind person, that is not the glory of God, but merely an act of mercy and grace. The Bible does not associate the glory of God with such deeds. However, performing healing and deliverance, casting out demons and freeing those oppressed by evil, is giving glory to God. Therefore, when we speak of giving glory to God, this is fundamentally what we mean.

On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.” Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God. (Luke 13:10-13)

There are many such examples.

Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, praising God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God. (Luke 18:43)

We must be certain of one thing: when a person oppressed by evil is freed from that oppression, it is because the church is in the love of Jesus Christ. The pastor and the individual are connected in love, releasing the power of God, and the glory of God is manifested. We witness many such occurrences. The Gospel of John also records these events.

As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. (John 9:1-3)

When someone born blind can see, it reveals the glory and works of God. Hence, in John chapter nine, Jesus expresses profound dismay that people fail to recognize this, that their spirits are so numb despite witnessing such events.

So for the second time they summoned the man who had been blind and told him, “Give glory to God by telling the truth, because we know this man is a sinner.” He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know: I was blind, but now I see!” Then they asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” He answered, “I have already told you, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?”

Then they hurled insults at him and said, “You are this fellow’s disciple! We are disciples of Moses! We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we don’t even know where he comes from.” The man answered, “Now that is remarkable! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes. We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will. Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a person born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” (John 9:24-33)

Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.” (John 9:39)

I want to ensure that everyone understands why God manifests such potent power and glory among us, healing so many. I can boldly state that it is difficult to remain unblessed or unhealed in our midst. Because the church we have established is a church of mutual love, a nurturing church. In the love of Jesus Christ, abiding in Him, we bear such fruit.

Therefore, build a church of mutual love. Never build a church devoid of God's love. Is it wrong to obey God's commands and emulate God, emulate Jesus Christ? Absolutely not. In Jesus Christ, united with Him in love, doing what He did is imperative. This is a church filled with God's love, releasing those oppressed by the devil. If we boast, let us boast in what the Lord does through us.

I delivered a sermon titled Do not seek your own benefit. Some disagreed, claiming I was merely bragging. Even if I were bragging, I have the credentials to do so. However, if I boast for my own sake, it is worthless. But I am in the Lord Jesus Christ, boasting in what He does through us, bearing much fruit in His love.

We do not merely pay lip service. Many like to say, Jesus loves you, and I love you too... We never utter such empty words. Those who do are mere talkers, unable to deliver those oppressed by evil or suffering from illness, pretending not to notice and warning, Beware of heresy, beware of the charismatic movement! I find it perplexing. Why do these individuals not free those oppressed by evil, instead focusing on heresy and the charismatic movement? Is not Jesus Christ charismatic? Was not the Apostle Paul charismatic? Perhaps their definition of charismatic differs from ours.

I witnessed several sisters ministering to a child with a fever late into the night, praying for hours. I was deeply moved, thanking God for the loving and dedicated brothers and sisters among us who minister to those oppressed by evil. I believe their service will be greatly rewarded, for it is releasing the love of God.

Brothers and sisters are beginning to understand. Many brothers and sisters today do not engage in practical service, merely typing a few words on WhatsApp: Sister, I will pray for you. They do not care whether the sister or brother is delivered. At least they prayed. Such behavior is prevalent in all professions. For example, a teacher drones on, delivering what the Ministry of Education requires. Whether the students hear or understand is not their concern. How detestable is such a teacher! Even more so if it is a pastor.

Brothers and sisters must understand: how can it be called service if there is no fruit? A person oppressed by evil seeks out a pastor, but the pastor lacks all compassion: Pray hard yourself. That is utter nonsense! Therefore, we are constantly training various pastors to minister to all kinds of people. If we are Christians, we must bear much fruit.

Bearing Much Fruit

Where is this written?

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. (John 15:7-8)

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other. (John 15:16-17)

With even a basic grasp of language, one can plainly read: This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, that what you ask will be done for you. This is bearing fruit.

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other. (John 15:16-17)

What does bearing fruit mean? It is the result of mutual love. When a person oppressed by evil seeks you out to bear fruit, you can release the love of God and free that person from oppression. Is this not what we seek? We do not seek to become millionaires, to become wealthy, to eat well, to travel abroad. We do not seek our own benefit, but that these individuals may be freed from the oppression of the devil. This is seeing the love of God. What does mutual love mean? It means when people need us, we are there to release and help them.

Brothers and sisters must understand what this fruit truly is. Many mistakenly believe that bearing fruit means cultivating oneself into a deity or angel. That is a false notion. Our lasting fruit is the effectiveness of our service. If our service is accompanied by God, and we witness God manifesting His works through our prayers in every act of service, that is lasting fruit.

If you build roads and bridges yourself, you do not need God, you can accomplish it alone, because a person of the flesh can do it. However, freeing a person from the oppression of the devil is what Jesus did most, and that is the effectiveness of service.

Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.” (Revelation 14:13)

The effect of our deeds will follow us - releasing the love of the Father.

Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. (Romans 12:15)

Paul said to mourn with those who mourn, to empathize with those oppressed by evil. We must truly understand those oppressed by evil. As we serve, our love may gradually grow cold. After love grows cold, we become indifferent to such matters. Even today, I am very careful, because we竭尽全力 serve those God brings to us, unless they one day discard us like a worn-out shoe, no longer needing our service. Therefore, we must truly mourn with those who mourn, understanding the feelings of those oppressed by evil.

Today, the church has a misconception, forgetting that the church should love one another and serve those in need. Today, many churches with 10,000, 20,000, or 30,000 members share a common characteristic: they enjoy gathering in large groups for worship, like a concert, everyone telling the person next to them, Jesus loves you, and I love you too.

I do not understand it. 10,000 people sit there, not knowing the person next to them, yet they say, Jesus loves you, and I love you too. I find it hard to comprehend. If I tell a stranger I love them, they might accuse me of harassment. Then how can we love one another? I have never understood it, it is merely lip service.

However, when I carefully examine the Bible, I find that when two or three gather in Jesus' name, God is among us. This is very interesting. Lord, why two or three? Why not 20,000? How can 20,000 or 30,000 people implement mutual love? I do not know. But two or three can implement mutual love. You know me, and I know you. You are oppressed by evil, and I am willing to shepherd you and free you from the oppression of the devil. That is called church.

Indeed, a church does not need 20,000 or 30,000 people to have God's presence. Some believe that 20,000 or 30,000 cannot be wrong. But what can even 200,000 or 300,000 people prove? If God's love is not implemented, if there is no nurturing relationship, what can even 200 million or 300 million people prove? It proves nothing, because the Bible does not say so.

Therefore, brothers and sisters must know that when two or three gather in the name of the Lord, it is a relationship built on the name of the Lord, with both shepherd and sheep. Of course, this is my opinion, you may disagree. What kind of fruit can two or three people bear when they love and serve one another? Casting out demons, releasing captive souls, freeing the oppressed. Brothers and sisters, selfish people cannot bear fruit. Why? If you love yourself, I love myself, he loves himself, when three self-loving people gather, is that in the name of the Lord? It is more like in the name of the devil.

We must ponder: is the church we are building truly a church that releases God's power, releases God's love and manifests God's glory? Some time ago, when I led prayer, I posed a question: ponder what you have done in the past year? What fruit have you borne? What is the use of loving yourself so much? There is only one use: repentance.

Recently, I received a call from a sister. She is a very selfish person, only caring about herself, her money, her work, her house, everything revolves around herself, yet she did not even realize it! When she followed my recorded prayer, she heard me say, What have you done this year? She thought about it and realized she had only done one thing: become a selfish person. Later, she repented, weeping profusely, realizing that she had done nothing.

For her, this year was simply chaotic. But actually, we did much this year, often ministering to her, and it was quite difficult. We told her more than once, You are a selfish person. She was upset when she heard it, but it was indeed the case. Now she finally understands what we were saying, and she has decided to repent!

I believe our God is truly extraordinary. This is not something we can do; it is God's doing. Bearing fruit means liberating a person from the lies of the devil, from a selfish value system, and initiating them into the Mingding Destiny of building God's glorious church. I think receiving blessings is easy because it aligns with God's will.

I also ministered to another person who was quite selfish, but she was unaware of it. My relationship with her was not particularly close, so I hesitated to speak directly. Instead, I told her, Ponder this carefully. She asked, What do I need to ponder? I replied, Just reflect on what I've said to you! I phrased it somewhat delicately.

In reality, selfish individuals often don't realize they are selfish. However, you can discern it by the price they pay and the consequences they face. Whom have you liberated? Whom have you blessed? What have you accomplished? Building bridges and roads doesn't count. Even sinners love those they cherish, which is easy. But if we cannot even love those we are supposed to love, shouldn't we reflect on ourselves? I encourage everyone to learn to pay the price; it's an attitude, a conviction. Reflect carefully on what you have done. The projects and products you’ve developed, are they fruits that will endure for eternity? No. If the fruit you bear is similar to Cain's fruit, it is of little value!

Brothers and sisters, abiding in the Lord's love will yield abundant fruit, the fruit of God's love that you release. This fruit liberates many from bondage. It requires much patience, many battles, much physical strength, and hard work. If someone is selfish, it is truly difficult! I often encounter selfish individuals, and it's a tragedy when some selfish people become pastors. How will they answer to God in the future?

For example, one pastor, when I called him at 10:30 PM, I couldn't reach him. The next morning, I asked him why his phone was off. He said, I turn it off every night at 10 PM. I thought, My goodness, if you do that, your mother couldn't reach you in case of an emergency! Of course, my words were a bit harsh, but the core issue is, if the sheep encounter problems, how can they find you? Of course, they can't, since your phone is off. We really need to reflect on this. Brothers and sisters, remember to be good shepherds, or how can those oppressed by demons possibly seek you out? If someone oppressed by demons comes to me, I will certainly liberate them because a good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

The Good Shepherd Lays Down His Life for the Sheep

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. (John 15:12-13)

Many people claim that laying down one's life for the sheep and not seeking one's own benefit are unattainable. Why? If you can't do it, won't you be cursed? Does God's love reside within you? Are you selfish? The results you experience will reveal the truth. We have a sister among us whose mind is solely occupied with her three children, her husband, her mother-in-law, and her family. Where is her Mingding Destiny?

I told her, If you continue down this path, you know the consequences. However, you can choose to change, to become a person with a purpose. The problems we encounter will inevitably lead to God's blessings. Today, it is rare to see a good shepherd laying down his life for the sheep. Perhaps it is immodest to say this, but it is indeed the truth. My disciples are truly blessed, far more blessed than I am, because I never encountered a pastor who would lay down his life for me. However, for those I minister to, I truly pay a heavy price.

Why are they more blessed than I am? Because they have a better shepherd than I did. Over the years, I haven't met a good shepherd, a lamentable fact, but also a cause for celebration, as it solidified my resolve to emulate our Lord Jesus at all costs; the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. Among those I serve, I don't seek their service, but their growth. A pastor reveals the nature of the church they are building by the kind of growth that they look to inspire.

Of course, some may think, You're just good at talking. Indeed, I am good at speaking, and my words are grounded in truth. Why would I want you to serve me? Because without service, you cannot grow. My goal is solely your growth. Is there anything wrong with this? No! But some pastors are not like this. I ministered to a pastor from another church with hydrocephalus, but where was his pastor? Busy with his own work in the church, not properly shepherding his disciple. Instead, he put great pressure on him. As a result, this pastor developed hydrocephalus.

Even after developing hydrocephalus, his pastor did nothing for him. He continually proclaims himself to be part of a charismatic church, but couldn't liberate his disciple from demonic oppression, only concerned about the number of attendees! How tragic! The pastor with hydrocephalus worked very hard. He was responsible for several hundred people in his district, and the group leaders changed frequently. Each time, he had to manage it himself, which was exhausting, eventually leading to hydrocephalus.

In effect, if he had followed my lead, he would not have had this suffering. I would not put pressure on you, because I do not require headcounts, nor offerings, but personal breakthroughs. Don't you think that following me would be a blessed proposition? Recently, I met a few pastors. One was sent to Indonesia. Later, the church replaced him with a new senior pastor. The new senior pastor summoned him to the office and said, We no longer need you. You are no longer our colleague, and you won't receive a salary because the church needs to save expenses.

Think of the example that this sets, the way that one's own colleagues are treated, what about the sheep under the shepherd? The sheep will definitely be starving to the point of emaciation. There was another pastor who also received the message that the congregation needed to hit a certain number. Why does the church need to increase the number of people in attendance? Because the church needs money, offerings, and people. As a result, this colleague worked very hard.

This generation is one that is in great need of good Shepards, and God will be amongst us should we be a good Shepard. And also, when I say alluding to laying one's life for God's sheep, some of them also have a wolfish and evil disposition, as they are covered under a sheepskin. With some that I know: you do lay your life for me and the sheep, that's what you are alluding to! And you need to be able to follow through with that! As with that that I have responded to such that it applies to laying one's life for God's sheep, then you are the wolf.

In effect, he had confused it for me saying that I was telling you, our brothers and sisters, such that the cost that I pay is for God's responsibility, but what type of cost have you paid? Are you a disciple of the Lord? If so, you should ask if you are someone that loves the Lord, and if you are then herd God's sheep, and are you cooking God's sheep and eating them? And should you have a conversation with me such that you lay down your life for me, would you lay down your life for your own sheep? As with that that I think that such individuals that would have said that in the time of Jesus is such that they would have said, then you should save yourself, and find a way to escape.

And for me to be inward facing, and for me to be waiting and excited for each of our fellow brothers and sisters with high expectation, such as to have them evolve into someone that lays down his life for God's sheep, with each and every one of our brothers and sisters being able to bear fruit with the blessing, with each and every one of our brothers and sisters with being able to serve with breakthroughs for a spiritual blessing. At an earlier time I had said and told you to someone who is my fellow sister in Christ: given that you are not able to serve than be ready and prepared to continue to grow, and the only real option to be able to hear about what the Lord has had to say, and we would have to walk the path for the journey, in that you can challenge the depths with what you are able to put up with under selfish conditions, you must evolve into being a good Shepard to evolve into one that lays one's life for one's fellow God's sheep, and you are in effect dedicating time as a dedication of life, and you dedicate a portion of such time, and dedicate more for that dedication of time, and you would then evolve to lay down your life for one's fellowshiping and communing of God's sheep.

When I am alluding this, and saying alluding to such, and giving this sermon, the feelings that are inwardly felt would be some type of dread, or you might even hear about such, why such? It is in that I in an an earlier point of time, I had suffered some type of small wound, such is a lack of love or compassion given to myself, as I had been invited and I had some type of appointment to go and do an exposition on His Holy Word with what I felt that the good with what the Lord has said, and as I was a bit hesitant, with all that I had, with each and every last bit and ounce that I have, I was pressed forward. As such, it was a bit of difficulty for myself. As such, it was a bit of a conundrum, as I do not want to fail God. In that I do allude and touch base is with what the goal as a person as an individual to love God with my entirety of my heart, and I would allude to a lot of such events, specifically how a lot who serve as men of God lack the same level of compassion and love of their heart when it comes to God. As such, the result what the brethren had came out to say to me was the opposite of what they felt when they came out and said such, in that they were telling me that they were of the same mind set with what I was saying and to them, and their faces were of the colour of the darkness of night, with the color of the white, and each of our fellow congregants kept signalling with their hands for myself, with waving that such would make a person think that such would be enough for them to know after with what they have signalled to me such as to tell me to no longer keep speaking. And for the very last final point that the fellow church members had of something to say specifically to myself was such that it feels as if I am taking credit for all such blessings that our Lord has given to them. And now, forward into the future, I am not able to convey and have my thoughts be as coherent such as to lead and deliver to others on what is for their journey to spiritual blessing, for the reason is, I am in fear and dread with what the next to brethren who comes and speaks to me, not on my own accord, who may follow up and say unto me that I am taking all the credit and blessings that God has poured down upon them. For such is that I do not want to fail God. For it is not that I am blessed, but the God is filled with blessing to give forth to us. For God has a church, and that is to be under His banner, a fellowship of those connected under true love.

I had been a God fellow servant to a wealthy person, and there were a lot of those who serve God that are just the same as this person, and they do not care about the problems this rich person has, they would rather choose to care to what this person is that this person has a lot of coin. And as I was the one who was given the opportunity to serve, it saddened and hurt my spiritual soul to no end as to what I know. So I was thinking that they were there to care for the love of God, but they instead were going forward for the coins that was from the wealthy person, but even she knew this, as she is a very intelligent individual. And as the servant of God who was the me, there I went for a consultation with what she had to contend with, and it was there that she had related that I was the only man of serving God that ever took the time to see what problems and concerns, and to bring a peace for her heart, mind, and soul, and to resolve and make her better. As such, I was in a state of a mental and philosophical broken heart when I came to comprehend everything. I broke down and was torn as I was filled filled with the emotions of every colour, especially with the negative, where I was not filled with so much emotion that was of the positivity and blessing. This was after as many individuals that have served as God, but many were there just to go for the money.

The church is to be based and started on the roots of shepherding, such as by guiding others. What does it mean to work to be the Shepard of others by guiding, taking and resolving those with evil spirits that weigh and bind them down, and to tear down those foul habits, and to give place into the mind of the servant, such as to have the words of God, so they may be good faithful servants of the Lord's, and to check the ones served by you for the servant to do and to keep in their heart to what God says, and to carry them onwards, and to always strive to seek His glory in their hearts, minds and souls. That is what our pastoral system with Chinese Mingding Destiny is, it's to serve those under God with an iron will such as to bring about God's glory overall. In this time, the modern religious establishments have services and gatherings, but it shouldn't be! These locations of the religious order must never be what you see the normal gatherings and events as, but as serving, as with the Shepard who leads and cares for their flock. The church is to serve to allow those to express what the love of the Lord through their spirits, and must not be used for anything for one's personal gain or benefit, and the Lord is smashing and clipping at it, and is clearing what is not in sync with His purpose and those that follow Him, the Christ, as with one of the specific verses:

I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. (John 15:1-2)

And with everything and everyone, such as even for yourself, if there are no things that are of value that you give and come to bring, such as with giving the glory and love of Our God, with such as such you give, what should you do for everyone else? Your thoughts may turn into you, in turn, working for to the aid and benefit of yourself. With such evil things that are to be brought to be done, with a heart that is selfish, how do you then build with to serve Our God and to give to Him the praise and glory? How is someone such with those characteristics of selfishness and evil to do such things with an iron will such as to seek and bring back to God those who are bound by the hands of the evil spirit by those who seek to give worship to the name of the evil one who is against mankind? Should after your consumption with reading that what I have written, with what it feels like that is making you question, so shall it mean that you need to work with yourself and to make a new and wise choice to choose who to live your life with, such as serving the Lord with a pure heart and intention and to ask God for direction and guidance! Is it to be that you go with what that you wish, being selfish an evil unto humanity, with the thought that you are the best in comparison, so what should it be?

With the parable of the sheep and the Shepard, in that that the sheep are to be in communication and connected with the Shepard, the man of God who serves the flock of God. And in the event those under the charge of God from the Shepherd are being burdened or touched by the vile and wretched deeds of the evil demon, what measures should be taken? The words as of the Old Order scripture, when David gave service as the leader of the shepherd of the sheep, if there are those that are going to be attacked and taken by either the violent bear, violent lion, a hungry tiger, a vile and wretched wolves, they would be seized! So as to be saved! What is at risk is the life of David! As such, the fellow brothers and sisters are to be the truth of what is from the Lord! God needs and wants the servant to be such! Jacob with the house of his uncle in the care of Laban, such as what he did for the flock there!

There must be more that would be taken and given into being a shepherd! To come together and take the suffering of one whom does suffer, and to share joy with another who carries the joy within! The sheep are to come closer and closer with connection with the Shepard, to slowly grow slowly in character to being of like that of Our Lord Jesus the Christ! Can anyone fathom with the ability of my intention to allude what I have said? But this time with modern and common day events, the churches feel as if they're far off of with being the one the Lord said they are be with, the shepherd of His flock now does not resemble the past in His Holy Scripture, the sheep do not follow and walk with the Shepherd, many that that the nations are governed do not look and come to be like the God would have them be. But that is why we are with one goal! We want to come as an instrument and bring about a change, with to have places under the Church as to be a serving for the love of from God.

So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Summation

I have a will to take and give an summation. This summation is there to describe to the all that it is to grow with the bonds under love, to connect under with love, to give what glory is due to Our God! As a desire and excitement that will bring glory and that is filled within myself, is a desire to have each and every our fellow congregants to know and have the will for all of our hearts, minds, and souls to come to be known under our God and to carry all those with His heart and glory.

When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.(John 21:15-17)

To guide the flocks of Our God of the Lord, that is what what we are to be concerned in what God asks of us. If there is such a person as your very own self, that you have that of the love of the Lord, that is to be the very very most! If not, there will be a result as a curse under curse's! But if you do believe that you are for Our God, His Glory will be to taken, shown and given via with yourself, to being such the one to hold and care for the Shepherd and to be under the one shepherd for the flock of sheep! For that the generation right now, needs with the pure heart and intention, and this modern generation needs with the soul to come together under a bond of pure love with each other!

Fellow Christian brothers and sisters, the query that I put forth to you all, may such prompt you all to reassess and review of your actions for each and all of our own selves. For in my sleep and what as in my own dreams, I am in need to have everyone that you, I call as my fellow brothers and sisters, such that you, with yourself, individually and personally will find as to be fortunate and blessed when you are one with a heart, mind, and soul that is given to The Lord, but must ensure to hold high with all the power and strength! As that in to be for as such! Then the time will come in that that we will purge and solve the puzzle of all those incorrect and lying thoughts, and fully tear down with all those vile and wretched deeds of the world and those with their cultures! So! Christian brothers and sisters! I put the call that we come under a fellowship to have one connection to give to the love of God, and to come show the Glory and power of The Lord!

In the honour and heart of Our God, May God give all His Blessings unto you.

赶鬼与神的爱紧密相关,神不愿我们被鬼辖制。教会是在爱中连接的群体,神的爱在最需要时显明。被鬼辖制是痛苦的,许多信徒在传统教会中无法得到释放。牧者通过耶稣的爱将他们从魔鬼手中释放,时间长短不一。 赶鬼过程中,我们学习忍耐的功课,坚持到底才能得救。比魔鬼多坚持一分钟,就能将其赶走。教会不是讲道和表演的舞台,而是分赐神爱的地方。 作者从母亲身上学到功课,母亲常被鬼抓走,但人还活着。当灵被抓走时,人已非自己,而是鬼在里面活着。

这段文字讲述了祷告在教会中的重要性。作者通过母亲的经历,指出“自己祷告”可能是鬼的诱导,目的是阻止他人为自己祷告。强调牧者为羊祷告的重要性,即使牧者本身存在问题,祷告的效果仍然很好,这是“建立教会”的体现。作者认为,如果每个人都只为自己祷告,教会就会变成庙宇,自我修行无法建立教会。最可恶的是牧者怕麻烦,让信徒自己祷告。教会应该是彼此相爱的地方,当信徒遇到问题时,最需要牧者的帮助。因此,作者花费大量时间训练牧者,以更好地服侍信徒。

早年我常思考,若耶稣遇到被鬼辖制或遭遇大麻烦的人,祂会怎么做?我发现耶稣会释放他们脱离魔鬼的辖制,因此我也立志效仿。尽管能力有限,但我努力去做,结果令人震惊,神的荣耀不断彰显。我们的福音本就是使被掳得释放,被压制的得自由。 我曾一边工作一边学习神学,渴望更明白神的心意。一次,我向一位神学教授提问,如果是耶稣会怎么看?教授的回答“我又不是耶稣,我怎么知道”让我对神学梦想彻底破灭。若不知神的心意,学习又有何用? 因此,与其说鬼来了找牧者,不如说好牧人为羊舍命。好牧人为羊舍命可能更适合这一讲的题目,但既然是赶鬼系列,就定为《鬼来了,找牧者》。这有两方面意义:一是激励被鬼辖制的人去寻求牧者;更重要的是,激励所有参与服侍或渴望参与服侍的人,成为爱神之人。若你爱神,你就会牧养神的群羊。

恳求主的爱充满我们,激励我们投身服侍,与主同在,成为结出丰硕果实的人。愿主激励我们,无论身处何种境地,都能竭力奔跑,不断提升自我,成长为成熟的基督徒,拥有耶稣基督的完美形象。奉耶稣基督的名祷告,阿门!

教会祷告是否有效,取决于教会是否得胜。得胜的教会是医治释放的根基,即在主耶稣基督里,常在主里面,在主的爱里合一。教会是主耶稣的身体,若教会不在主耶稣里面,即使挂着教会的牌子,也得不着恩典。真正的教会要在主的爱里,是彼此相爱的连接,住在主里面。正如《马太福音》16章18节所说,教会要建造在磐石上,阴间的权柄不能胜过。而《约翰福音》15章7节也提到,常在主里面,主的话也常在里面,凡所愿意的,祈求就得成就。因此,教会的得胜和彼此相爱是祷告有效的关键。

得胜的教会是医治释放的根基,当弟兄姐妹被辖制时,应寻求教会牧者的帮助。教会是耶稣基督的身体,被那充满万有者所充满,在主耶稣的爱里才有能力。天父的爱是赶鬼的有力武器,教会若充满万有者,必带着极大能力,建立在耶稣基督的磐石上。彼此相爱是住在主耶稣基督的爱里面。教会若能胜过阴间的权势,便是极好的证明。教会拥有天国的钥匙,在地上所捆绑的,在天上也要捆绑;在地上所释放的,在天上也要释放。这表明教会具有属灵的权柄和能力,能够影响属灵领域的状况。

耶稣以父爱为喻,表达了他对门徒深沉的爱,并强调了“常在他的爱里”的重要性。如何常在他的爱里?那便是遵守他的命令。耶稣的命令是什么?就是要信他,信他在父里面,父在他里面。即使不信,也要因他所做的事而信。耶稣应许,信他的人也要做他所做的事,甚至要做比这更大的事,因为他要往父那里去。他还承诺,奉他的名无论求什么,他必成就,使父因儿子得荣耀。这既是耶稣的命令,也是他给信徒的应许,鼓励他们因信而行,经历神的大能。

常在主的爱里并非仅仅领受,更在于将神的爱分赐出去。爱是恒久忍耐、恩慈,不嫉妒、不自夸、不张狂,不做害羞的事,不求己益,不轻易发怒,不计算人恶,不喜不义,只喜真理,凡事包容、相信、盼望、忍耐。常在主的爱里,意味着效法耶稣的言行。耶稣是最好的榜样,其次是使徒保罗。效法他们,就是要做耶稣所做的事。《约翰福音》中明确指出,信耶稣的人也要做祂所做的事,甚至要做更大的事。因此,常在主的爱里,就是谨守遵行神的命令,效法耶稣的榜样,将爱付出,行祂所行,从而活出真正的信仰。

主耶稣的医治释放是爱的体现,他将受鬼压制和驼背的人从魔鬼的辖制中释放出来,却引来法利赛人的不满,他们认为耶稣违背了安息日。耶稣反驳,难道神的百姓在安息日不应该被释放吗?医治释放是教会的重要工作,耶稣基督所做的正是释放被掳的人。正如《以赛亚书》61章1节所说,主耶和华的灵膏抹他,叫他传好信息,医好伤心的人,报告被掳的得释放。神的爱通过耶稣基督为我们的罪死在十字架上显明出来。《以赛亚书》53章5节也提到,他为我们的过犯受害,为我们的罪孽压伤,因他受的刑罚,我们得平安;因他受的鞭伤,我们得医治。这正是神爱的体现。

神的爱透过耶稣基督显明,但如今教会能力缺失,无法释放被捆绑者,导致魔鬼散布谎言,如医治释放不重要、是异端等,使人误以为上天堂才是关键。然而,《圣经》教导我们,看见被魔鬼辖制、疾病捆绑的人,应释放他们,这才是爱心。牧者应释放神的爱,将人从魔鬼的辖制中解救出来。 《约翰福音》14:13提到,奉耶稣的名祈求,必将成就,使父因儿子得荣耀。医治释放与荣耀神紧密相连。《马太福音》15:31记载,哑巴说话、残疾痊愈、瘸子行走、瞎子看见,众人都因此归荣耀给以色列的神。这些例子表明,医治释放是彰显神荣耀的重要方式。

《路加福音》中,“归荣耀与神”常与神迹奇事相连。例如,瘫痪病人痊愈后,众人惊奇并归荣耀与神,因他们目睹了非凡之事。医治释放,将人从鬼的压制中解脱出来,也被视为归荣耀与神。耶稣在安息日医治被鬼附着、腰弯曲十八年的妇人,妇人立刻直起腰来,众人便归荣耀与神。同样,瞎子被医治后,立刻看见光明,跟随耶稣,一路归荣耀与神,目睹此景的众人也赞美神。这些记载表明,“归荣耀与神”与神的大能和医治密切相关,是人们对神迹奇事的自然回应。

当一个人被鬼压制时,能被释放是因为教会和牧者在耶稣基督的爱里与他连接,从而释放神的大能,彰显神的荣耀。正如《约翰福音》第九章所记载,耶稣医治生来瞎眼的人,显明了神的作为。耶稣感慨人们灵性的麻木,即使看见神迹也不认识神。法利赛人质问被医治的人,那人反驳说,他从前眼瞎,如今能看见,这本身就证明了耶稣的能力来自神。他指出,自古以来从未有人能医治生来瞎眼的人,若耶稣不是从神而来,不可能做到。耶稣说,他来是要叫不能看见的,可以看见;能看见的,反瞎了眼。这个故事强调了通过耶稣基督的爱和能力,可以战胜黑暗势力,并彰显神的荣耀。

这段讲道强调了教会建立在彼此相爱和牧养的基础上,才能彰显神的能力和荣耀,使更多人得医治。牧者认为,真正的服侍需要实际行动,将受魔鬼压制的人释放出来,而不是空洞的言语。他批评了那些只说不做,对受苦者漠不关心的人,并强调教会要训练更多有爱心、有能力的牧者,去服侍各种各样的人。他鼓励信徒效法基督,在爱中与主合一,多结果子,并以主耶稣所做的事为夸口。真正的爱体现在实际行动中,例如为发烧的孩子祷告数小时,这样的服侍会带来极大的恩典。

这段经文强调了结果子的重要性。《约翰福音》15:7指出,常在主里面,主的话也常在心里,所祈求的就能成就。这与结果子密切相关,因为结果子能荣耀父神,证明我们是主的门徒。经文进一步强调,是主拣选了我们,并分派我们去结果子,使果子常存。结果子的目的是为了荣耀神,并且使我们奉主的名所求的,父就赐给我们。最后,经文强调彼此相爱是主命令的核心,也是结果子的重要体现。因此,结果子不仅是蒙神应允祷告的关键,也是荣耀神和彼此相爱的体现。

这段经文强调了耶稣拣选门徒的目的:去结果子,且果子长存。这里的“结果子”指的是彼此相爱的结果,即释放神的爱,帮助受魔鬼辖制的人得到释放。我们所求的不是个人利益,而是求他人从魔鬼的辖制中解脱。彼此相爱意味着在他人需要时,我们能释放和帮助他们。 长存的果子并非个人修行成仙,而是服侍的果效。若我们的服侍有神同行,每次服侍都能看到神透过祷告彰显作为,这就是长存的果子。修桥铺路等善行虽好,但属肉体之人也能做到,而将人从魔鬼的辖制中释放出来,是主耶稣常做的事,也是服侍的核心果效。因此,真正的结果子是透过神的爱和能力,帮助他人从黑暗权势中得释放。

《启示录》14:13 提到,在主里面而死的人有福了,他们的劳苦会停止,做工的果效会随着他们。这体现了释放天父的爱。 《罗马书》12:15 强调要与喜乐的人同乐,与哀哭的人同哭。保罗特别提到要体会那些被鬼辖制的人的感受。在服侍过程中,我们的爱心可能会逐渐冷淡,导致对这些事情变得冷漠。因此,我们应该小心,竭尽全力服侍神带到我们当中的人,直到神不再需要我们。我们要真正做到与哀哭的人同哭,理解他们的痛苦。

当今教会存在一个误解,即忽略了彼此相爱和服侍有需要之人的根本使命。许多大型教会热衷于大规模聚会和敬拜,形式如同音乐会,参与者彼此告知“耶稣爱你,我也爱你”。然而,这种缺乏真正认识和连接的“爱”显得空洞。 《圣经》强调,两三个人奉主的名相聚,神就在他们中间。这种小规模的相聚更易于落实彼此相爱,彼此认识,并提供实际的牧养和帮助,将受魔鬼辖制的人从捆绑中释放出来。真正的教会不在于人数的多寡,而在于是否实践神的爱,建立牧养关系。即使有成千上万的人聚集在一起,如果没有爱的行动和彼此关怀,也无法体现教会的真谛。因为《圣经》强调的是爱的实践,而非人数的堆砌。

两三个人奉主的名相聚,是靠主名建立的关系,彼此相爱服侍能结出释放灵魂的果子。自私的人难结出果实,若只爱自己,聚在一起如同奉魔鬼的名。要反思教会是否释放神的大能与荣耀。反思过去一年所为,若只爱自己,唯有悔改。 一姐妹来电,自述过去一年只顾自己,沉浸于金钱、工作和房子,是个自私的人。跟随录音祷告时,因反思自己毫无作为而悔改痛哭。事实上,众人常需服侍她,且倍感费劲。虽曾被指出自私,但她不悦。如今她终明白,并决心悔改。 神何等奇妙,能将人从魔鬼的谎言和自私的价值体系中释放,进入建造神荣耀教会的命定。另有一人也颇自私,因关系不近,我委婉提醒她反思。得着祝福易如反掌,因合神心意。

自私的人往往不自知,但其行为的代价和结果却显而易见。真正的付出体现在释放和祝福他人,而非仅仅是自我满足。爱自己所爱的人是人之常情,但若连所爱之人都无法爱,则需反思自身。鼓励大家学会付出代价,这是一种态度和信心。我们所做的项目和产品若不能结出永存的果子,便毫无意义。 常在主的爱里才能多结果子,即释放出神的爱的果子,将他人从辖制中释放出来。这需要极大的耐心、争战、体力和辛劳,对于自私的人而言,实属不易。自私的人若身居牧师之位,更是一场悲剧。 好牧人应随时预备好帮助羊群。例如,一位牧师晚上10点半关机,导致有需要的人无法联系到他。好牧人应为羊舍命,随时预备好帮助那些被鬼辖制的人,将他们从困境中释放出来。

《约翰福音》中耶稣命令我们要彼此相爱,像他爱我们一样,为朋友舍命。牧人为羊舍命,不求己益,常被认为难以做到。若无法做到,是否会受咒诅?内心有无神的爱,是否自私,可从生活结果得知。有人心中只有家庭,缺少命定。 若继续如此,结果可知,但可以选择改变,成为有命定的人,在问题中看见神的祝福。好牧人为羊舍命虽不常见,但我的门徒比我有福,因我未曾遇见为我舍命的牧者,但我却为我所服侍的人付出了沉重的代价。这体现了耶稣舍己爱人的精神,以及牧者对信徒的关爱和付出。

这段文字表达了作者对过去未遇到好牧者的遗憾,同时也庆幸这促使他决心效法耶稣,成为为羊舍命的好牧者。作者强调自己不求服侍对象为他做工,只求他们的成长,并以此反衬某些牧师的不足。作者举例说明,他曾服侍过一位因教会压力和缺乏牧养而患脑积水的牧者,该牧者的牧师只关注教会人数,未能提供实际帮助,这令作者感到悲哀。作者认为,牧师应关注门徒的成长,而非仅仅追求教会的表面繁荣。这段话体现了作者对牧者职责的深刻理解和对真正牧养的呼唤。

如果一起服侍,我不会强求人数和奉献,只希望你成长。有些教会对待同工苛刻,甚至为了节省开支而辞退牧师,这样的教会如何能好好牧养信徒?有些教会则强求牧师增加教会人数,只为了获取更多奉献。这个世代需要好牧人,好牧人为羊舍命,但有些披着羊皮的狼却以此要挟。我所说的舍命,是指为神负责,而你作为主的门徒,付出了什么代价?你是爱主的人吗?你是否在牧养神的群羊,还是把他们煮了吃?有些人如同主耶稣时代的那些人,只想着让主耶稣救自己。真正的门徒应该反思自己是否爱主,是否尽心牧养神的群羊。

我内心深切期盼每位弟兄姐妹都能成为为羊舍命的好牧人,在服侍中成长并结出丰硕果实。我曾鼓励一位姐妹通过服侍来突破个人成长瓶颈,挑战自私,成为好牧人,因为时间即生命,奉献时间是成为好牧人的关键。 分享经历时,我曾因直言牧师群体中存在的爱心缺失现象而受到负面反馈,这让我有所顾虑。我强调尽心尽力爱主,但听者却对号入座,让我意识到言语可能带来的伤害。我并非自诩优秀,而是相信唯有在主的爱中连接,教会才能真正兴盛。 我曾服侍过一位富有的姐妹,她接触过许多只关注其财富的牧师,这让我深感痛心。这位聪明的姐妹渴望得到真诚的关怀,而非仅仅被视为金钱来源。在众多牧者中,她最终发现只有我真正关心她的问题,这让我对教会的现状感到无比心碎。

华人命定神学强调,教会应以牧养为根基,其核心在于将人从魔鬼的辖制中释放,破除属肉体的恶习,并将神的话语植入人心,考核其实践。教会不应仅是聚会场所,而应成为牧养的场所,让人在其中释放神的爱。 经文《约翰福音》15:1-2 警示,神会剪除不结果子的枝子,修剪结果子的枝子,使其结出更多果实。若基督徒不能释放神的爱,则沦为自私之人,无法建立荣耀的教会,更无法将人从魔鬼手中解救。 因此,听闻此信息后,个人需做出选择:是成为合神心意的门徒,在基督的爱中成长,还是选择自私自利,只爱自己。此选择关乎个人能否在教会中发挥真正的作用,以及能否为神的国度贡献力量。

羊与牧者需要紧密连接,如同旧约中大卫冒着生命危险从狮子、熊等猛兽口中夺回羊一样。真正的牧者应具备雅各那样的责任心,与哀哭者同哭,与喜乐者同乐,带领羊逐渐成长,达到基督的身量。 现今社会普遍存在羊不像羊、牧者不像牧者、教会不像教会的现象,因此我们需要带来改变,将教会建立成释放神爱的地方。神所赐的使徒、先知、传福音的、牧师和教师,是为了成全圣徒,各尽其职,建立基督的身体,使众人在真道上同归于一,认识神的儿子,长大成人,满有基督长成的身量,不再像小孩子一样容易受人欺骗和异端的影响。要用爱心说诚实话,凡事长进,连于元首基督,全身靠他联络得合式,百节各按各职,彼此相助,使身体在爱中渐渐增长。

这段经文强调了爱神与牧养神群羊之间的紧密联系。耶稣三次询问彼得是否爱他,并以此来托付他喂养和牧养羊群的重任。这表明,爱神是成为合格牧者的前提。文章呼吁读者反思自己是否真正爱神,并以此作为衡量是否蒙福的标准。一个爱神的人,会谨守神的诫命,并被神兴起,成为牧养神群羊的好牧人。文章鼓励信徒们彻底对付内心的错误逻辑体系,破除属世的风俗,成为爱神的人,从而彰显神的荣耀。这个世代需要好牧人,也需要羊与牧者在爱中连接。因此,重新审查自己,成为爱神的人,是每个信徒都应努力的方向。

Wow! This song 'Living Out the Love of the Heavenly Father' is so powerful! I feel loved inside, my heart is warm, no more worries and fears. I spit out a lot of phlegm inside, my mind is much clearer, I am willing to deal with selfishness ~ give freely, not seeking my own benefit. ???

Sunday worship and prayer are so powerful that my swollen leg can now walk on its own. I finally understand that it is because I am united with my pastor in prayer and battle in the victorious church that I have such great healing and deliverance power! Thank the Lord!

Can Christians play Honor of Kings? If not, why?

Comment: Can Christians play Honor of Kings? If not, why? Reply: Yes, you can play it to death! The question is not whether you can play it, but what benefit does it bring you! If there is no benefit, aren't you a very foolish person? All things are lawful, but not all things are helpful. Isn't it a tragedy if a person spends their whole life doing things that are not beneficial to themselves or others?

The pastor speaks so well, I am still praying for myself and my son... I feel like an orphan in the world, I can only count on the love of the Heavenly Father. Is the pastor going to America? My son has had severe autism for 15 years.
