Introduction

Let us delve into Luke Chapter 13. I urge everyone during Bible study not to rush into merely listening. If you come unprepared, without having read Luke 13, can you truly grasp what I am saying merely by listening? It would be remarkable if you don't end up confused. Indeed, whether in academics or in life, being prepared makes a world of difference!

Some individuals don't pay adequate attention when listening, multitasking instead, and then resorting to recordings for a second go. How foolish! They spend twice the time, perhaps achieving only half the effectiveness of others. I have always been a high achiever in my studies, and I will share how to boost your learning efficiency: read ahead and proactively ponder the chapter's theme. You are well acquainted with my style of leading Bible study, which starts by identifying the central theme. How do we do this? By examining the author's intent in each section. The common thread is the theme. A fitting theme knits together the various parts of the chapter.

An author writes a book to convey a message. Unless the writing is nonsensical, with the author unsure of their own point, how can you ever discern the theme? Take the Tui Bei Tu, for instance, where Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng supposedly wrote prophecies of the future back-to-back. If you were to ask them what they wrote, they wouldn't know either. Yet, nowadays, we pick up the Tui Bei Tu and interpret away: America will be like this, China will be like that... and it all seems to align perfectly. It's as if Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng got it all right in one go. But no, they did not comprehend it fully right away either.

I cannot decipher the Tui Bei Tu, but when we read the Bible, as well as the knowledge we've gained from elementary school to university, nothing is written without the author's careful consideration. Therefore, when Luke penned the Gospel of Luke, he would have meticulously deliberated on how to develop his theme. If you lack the ability to write, it's because you haven't been trained. The writing of an untrained person is haphazard. Not just writing, even painting a wall without training would resemble abstract art.

Thus, there must be order in one's work. This order is very important. I encourage you to read the material in advance, identifying themes as you go. If you do not find a theme, listen attentively to my teaching, and you won't need to relisten through a recording. If issues arise while listening, quickly note them down. We have a Q&A session after our Bible study. Raise your questions, and listen to my replies, and you will achieve much more with less effort.

A person's learning, work effectiveness, and efficiency all stem from proactive thinking. It's the same with chess; victory or defeat hinges on just a small difference, which is the distinction between being proactive and passive. The effectiveness of your work depends entirely on this one thing; lacking this, you will fall far behind. Therefore, I ask that you preview Luke before our next study, and doing so will yield very good results.

The previous chapter, Luke 12, says: Seek the Kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you. How many benefits are there in the Kingdom of God! Yet many people do not love seeking God's Kingdom, which astonishes me! To seek God's Kingdom, you must be earnest. How can you get by if you're not serious about anything you do?

The Gate to God's Kingdom is Narrow

Chapter 13 then states that the gate to God's Kingdom is narrow, like winning a lottery for a house; if you win the lottery, you've hit the jackpot. So, the gate to God's Kingdom is a narrow one, and those who squeeze through are formidable. Whether someone is a treasure or trash depends entirely on their choices. The key verse of this chapter is verse 24:

Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able. (Luke 13:24)

Please do not think that I am begging you to believe; our church is a narrow gate church. We will not beg people to believe. Come if you wish, and if you don't, don't! Where do I derive this philosophy? From the Bible. Jesus does this, so I do this. Jesus says it is a narrow gate, so we say it is a narrow gate. Jesus says come if you wish, so I do too. If those who are willing to come still struggle to enter, can those who are indifferent about coming even enter?

Some say: Oh, this narrow gate is too difficult to enter, so forget it! I won't compete; you go in. Others say: Never mind, I cannot enter the narrow gate anyway. Christians come in all shapes and sizes, with all kinds of thoughts. A few days ago, we ministered to a Christian who had attended church for ten years, yet seemed clueless about what to do there, his faith a mess. It would have been fine if his life were thriving, but he suffered from inexplicable itching and pain in his abdomen. Remembering us, he sought out my colleague to pray for him.

After praying, my colleague followed procedure and sent him homework. A few days later, the man claimed he finished it. My colleague inquired about what he learned, and the man responded that he learned to trust in God. But the assignment wasn't about trusting God; it was about blessings and curses. My colleague prayed for him the first time, and he improved somewhat; after the second prayer, he improved further. Following his recovery, he vanished, no longer contacting us. A few days later, his stomach pain returned, and he contacted our colleague again. What do we do with such people? I think the narrow gate immediately blocked him.

Our Lord Jesus is a stone of stumbling. I once gave a sermon entitled A Stone of Stumbling, and many pastors appreciated it, feeling that the phenomenon of stumbling in the church was finally explained. Whoever falls on this stone will be broken to pieces. I am not trying to scare you; I am merely conveying what the Bible says.

The Bible is God's writing for those who believe in Him. For example, Deuteronomy 28 is God's writing to the Israelites who believed, and also to us today. There are two types of believers: those who diligently keep and follow God's words, and those who do not. Those who keep and follow will be blessed, while those who do not will be cursed.

Among believers, some stumble and some rise. Those who stumble fall on the rock and are crushed to pieces. How is this to be understood? If you do not squeeze through the narrow gate, the trouble will be more than ordinary, because the ensuing curses will be profound. So, some who believe in Jesus are blessed, while others are cursed. Luke 13 writes about this very thing. Therefore, I urge everyone, regardless of whether you want to enter the narrow gate, you must eventually enter it. But some do not understand this principle, wanting only to live good lives, which is futile.

Blessings and curses are the two most important things in our lives. A few days ago, an assistant received a man who told a fascinating story. He said that many years ago, he had a dream in which a demon possessed him, and he woke up drenched in sweat. He shook himself, and thought about it before sleeping again, and then more demons came. Since then, everything he did went wrong. Until today, he found us online, hoping that through us, he could live a good life. The blessed can certainly live good lives, but if someone seeks God to live a good life, that life will probably not go well. How can he live a good life? He must enter the narrow gate.

Then Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem. Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?” He said to them, “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’ But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’ Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’ But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!’ “There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out. People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God. Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.”(Luke 13:22-30)

Many are concerned about how many will be saved, and here Jesus says that few will be saved. I take this passage as the theme of Chapter 13 to see how this theme strings the whole chapter together. Starting from the first section:

Now on the same occasion there were some present who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. And Jesus said to them, 'Do you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered this fate? I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. Or do you suppose that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed were worse culprits than all the men who live in Jerusalem? I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.' (Luke 13:1-5)

Why did these people die? People thought they were cursed, but Jesus raised a crucial question: Did you think these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans and therefore suffered this fate? No, but whether or not you suffer is not important; what is important is that if you do not repent, you will all perish! Those who cannot enter the kingdom of heaven will perish, and no matter how you die, the outcome will be similar. Jesus' point is that if you do not repent, you will all eventually perish.

The First Gate of Heaven is Repentance

If people cannot enter this first gate, they will be sifted out. There are many keys to heaven, and the gates of heaven are one after another. The first gate is repentance. If you haven't entered the gate of repentance, forget about the other gates, but everyone who cannot enter must perish. How many of us have truly repented? Some people are in excruciating pain and still refuse to repent. Can they repent if they are not in pain? Our minds are filled with worldly logic. Can we enter heaven like this? People filled with worldly logic cannot even find the gate to heaven because they do not know that the first gate to heaven is repentance.

The path of repentance is profound. If the path of repentance was corrected before, there would be no abdominal pain, or sensation of a foreign object in the eyes, dizziness, depression, or mental anguish - these prove that people have made mistakes before, and repentance is needed. But even when they have a stomachache, some people don't realise they've done anything wrong. When they have a headache, they don't realise they've done anything wrong either. No matter what happens, they never think they are at fault, as they believe in the logic: Isn't this how everyone lives? Isn't birth, old age, sickness and death natural?

In reality, many things are difficult to repent of. For example, if a pastor established a church but got it wrong and problems arose, it would be very difficult to change it because the church's board would disagree. Could you change it? If another church funded the church and helped to grow it, could you disagree with what it asked? If this church spent millions buying a property, it needs to pay off the monthly loan. Do you have this kind of money? If not, then would you not want to think about ways to attract more people to the church? Also, if your wife argues with you at home all the time and opposes your changes, would you dare to change?

So even if you wanted to change, the problems you face are very difficult to overcome because I have faced these obstacles before, and it is really not easy to change. The same is true for how we live today. Everyone has a lot of restrictions and if they cannot see through what it is to live, it would be difficult to change. Why was I able to change? Because I didn't even care about death, so what else did I care about? No money? That's all right. No people? That's fine too. What I say is also unpleasant. Those who are willing to follow me, follow, and those who are not willing to follow me, go wherever you want. Some people worry that if people leave, what happens to the offering? Don't worry, I have God!

This change of mine, I have changed it well. I no longer rely on money, nor rely on people. I have my God! I was able to get from yesterday to today, and can get from today to tomorrow. I have God, I want to enter the narrow gate, I want to challenge myself. I never please people, nor do I play tricks, nor do I talk nonsense, nor do I follow the world's logic system. I only want the people I serve to be edified. I think this is God's will.

When I decided to offer my life to God, I must build God's church according to God's will no matter what and I found that this path is not difficult, not narrow at all, if you are following God, the path opens up. To say it is narrow, we speak of the narrowness of our hearts. If we really trust in God, this matter is simple; money is not a problem, people are not a problem, nothing is a problem.

If you listen to what I said today, your faith will be built up and living will become simple. How can things not be simple with God? A person's logic system is immediately changed into a heavenly logic system. I no longer care about this and that promise. Abraham encountered famine when he entered the promised land, but he did not care about what he encountered, and he believed that God would save him. But, there are not many people with such faith.

What is the narrow gate? It is that the people's heart gate is too narrow, and person's heart does not trust to God. This path of faith is very wide, but in the eyes of people it is very narrow. The believers do not believe. Besides trusting in God, they trust everything else. For example, people think that when they are old, they have to find a nursing home and need someone to take care of them. In fact, how people live does not change the fact that they are alive? You have to believe in living in a nursing home (what is happening?)

If we trust in God, can God not take care of these things? Once person's faith has been corrupted, they are making foolish decisions. The nursing home has not yet been built, but they pay money to reserve a place - this is foolishness! The rich man in the last chapter said: I can finally eat and drink happily! God said: You ignorant person, your life will be taken tonight. This person is really ignorant!

Bear the Fruits of Faith

The narrow gate is the gate of faith, but there are many unbelievers in this world! There is no faith in the worldly system, and they all live to live. Going to the hospital and going to the nursing home are all places that take money. If you want to live by money, I wish you good luck. If you really want to enter the narrow gate, you must be a person of faith, and then bear fruit. A person of faith will surely have signs and wonders following, and will surely be able to bear the fruits of faith. What are the fruits of faith?

‘And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.’ (Mark 16:17-18)

Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it, but did not find any. So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’“‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it. If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.’”(Luke 13:6-9)

From this scripture, we see that God will cut off some people who do not bear fruit. I may intercede for you, saying: Lord, don't cut! Please leave him there!. Then I will dig around it and add fertilizer, what does this mean? It means that I will start today to constantly shape your faith, add fertilizer, and constantly supply you, but as to whether you can bear fruit, is it not up to you? If you do not choose to walk the path of faith, how can you bear the fruits of faith?

Ask yourself today: What is it that I depend on for living? If you depend on work, there is nothing more important than work. I depend on my God. I put more effort into reading the Bible than the average person because I think it is a treasure. So you need to know that the Lord will really cut off those who do not bear fruit.

It is useless to merely know the Lord Jesus, you must bear fruit. If you do not have the fruit that the Lord Jesus wants, then what are you going to the Lord Jesus for? I have seen many Christians and pastors who have gave me deep emotions. Some say that they were saved in xx years, but when I asked them: Where is the evidence that you were saved?, they do not know and feel surprised, surprised why I asked such a question.

Therefore, the first point I say is that if you do not repent, you will perish. The second point is that you must bear fruit. So what kind of fruit should you bear? Next, Jesus will demonstrate this:

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. Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, the synagogue leader said to the people, “There are six days for work. So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.” The Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each of you on the Sabbath untie your ox or donkey from the stall and lead it out to give it water? Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her?” When he said this, all his opponents were humiliated, and the people were delighted with all the wonderful things he was doing.(Luke 13:10-17)

What kind of fruits should be reaped? In this world, whether or not you are a believer, people who are bound by Satan abound, but why are there no one released from demonic oppression? People who talk about the Sabbath, talk about worship, talk about how to study the Bible, and talk about how to lead worship are many, but yet they cannot release a person who is oppressed. Is this bearing fruit? This is bearing the fruit of hypocrisy, so can God still know you?

If a person has faith in God, they must be someone who can set the captives free and set the oppressed free. Satan's means of binding people are quite abominable. In fact, the leader of that synagogue was bound by Satan, but he was willing to be bound because he learned a set of hypocritical principles, and had no compassion for seeing a woman bound by Satan.

So I would like to challenge everyone. If you have been healed and received grace among us, will you be willing to serve other people who want to be released in the future, just as I and my colleagues serve you today? If you bear this fruit of faith, you can glorify God, and you will be able to enter the narrow gate in the future. Otherwise, Jesus will say that he does not know you, does not know where you came from, and does not know what you have done. You love your wife very much, but you love Jesus up quite terribly.

Once I went to a place, and people worshiped God very well by shaking flags and blowing trumpets. But when it was my turn to serve on the stage, I asked people who were sick to raise their hands, and most of them raised their hands. I thought that there was trouble, what should I do? I said: Didn't you all shake flags and shouts and do a great job just now? Of course, it would offend many people if I said that. I said: Come, let me serve you and release everyone from the control of diseases.

This gospel of the kingdom of heaven is a gospel of exorcism. When these demons are driven out, people are freed. Is the gospel that does not exorcise demons today still considered the gospel? If you look at the Bible properly, you will figure things out. When I did this, some people said: Can your church do this? I said: I do it according to God's will, why can't I do it? Is it a problem that I want to be like Jesus? That person asked me: How can you be like Jesus? Is it a problem that I want to be like Jesus? Some people say: Why do I feel that I cannot be like Jesus?. But I just want to be like Jesus, just want to do what Jesus did, is this not what the Bible asked us to do?

The Narrow Gate Church is a Prosperous Church

The church I built is a narrow gate church. People say: I've heard of Tiananmen, but never of the narrow gate. Many think building a narrow gate church like this won't work, but I've found it does, because God's presence is here; while their wide gate church doesn't work because God's presence is not there. To enter the narrow gate, you must be spiritually slender and lean; if you're carrying spiritual baggage, loving the world, and indulging the flesh, you won't get in.

Jesus said, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden; and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.” (Luke 13:18-19)

A mustard seed is very small, like a speck of dust, hard to see, but when planted, it grows into a large tree. So this narrow gate church is a prosperous church, a problem-solving church, a church that casts out demons and overcomes Satan.

In the early days when I preached, I wished there was a scarecrow on every seat below, because it looked so desolate. There was even a sister who, after falling in love, went to her boyfriend's church. My heart sank, and I was quite hurt, because no matter the time, I served with all my heart. These people had received grace from me, but in the end, they discarded me like an old shoe. I was also helpless; who asked me to build this narrow gate church that made people not see it as a way?

But now we've come this far, precisely because of that first mustard seed, that determination to build a narrow gate church that pleases God and brings Him glory. Basically, no church is as strict with people as we are, because many can't handle it. When we're strict, people use scriptures like humility, pride, God opposes the proud, and gives grace to the humble... to tell us that we're so proud and not humble at all. I have nothing to say; wanting to build a narrow gate church turns into pride in their eyes.

The narrow gate is not a gate of pride, but one that has high standards and never compromises. Some come looking for a church, but what do you think it is? Do you think Jesus is choosing people, or are you choosing Jesus? If Jesus is just one of many gods, then choose one; but if the one true God Jesus is choosing people, then whether we're chosen depends on God's standards, and God's standards for choosing are indeed very high.

In my ministry, I've found that not many are truly willing to pay the price. Don't even talk about paying the price to serve others; even paying the price to do your homework seriously is hard! We ask people to do homework, just to screen them and see how serious they are. We ask them to do the 101 course, and they go do the 102 course. We want to serve people like this, and they say, You can't serve me like that; you have to serve me like this. I say, You're very interesting, like many patients who tell the doctor, 'You can't treat me like that; you have to treat me like this.' You, the patient, are even more厉害 than the doctor.

This narrow gate church looks like a mustard seed. Back then, many people poured cold water on me, saying, You can't do it like this! Later, they found that it had to be done this way. To build a holy, unified, glorious church that holds fast to the truth and wins in spiritual warfare, you have to have high standards. When the Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek reflected and said: Mao Zedong trained soldiers with the most rigorous methods; but the Kuomintang's soldiers were not trained so strictly! Later, Taiwan raised the rigor of training soldiers, so the Taiwanese soldiers of that era were also very厉害.

If you don't train like this, you'll definitely lose on the battlefield. Even with our church training brothers and sisters like this, our level is still not high enough! So we have to raise the standards. Isn't that what the narrow gate is like? Everyone sees that Jesus spoke about the doctrine of the narrow gate, and then spoke about the mustard seed. Do you think it's all connected? Obviously, it's all connected.

“To what shall I compare the kingdom of God? It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened.” (Luke 13:20-21)

Leaven is very contagious. A characteristic of entering the narrow gate church is that it's like leaven placed in three measures of flour, and the whole batch will rise. This contagiousness and infectiousness is very strong. Today, I can be a little more proud and say that anyone who truly seeks God in our church can't listen to sermons from other churches anymore, because they feel there's no nourishment. Why is this? Because this place has high standards and speaks the word of God very plainly, and people's faith is nourished.

Today, whether you're a believer or not, it's hard not to experience God among us. But don't let yourself become an obstacle to entering the narrow gate, otherwise it will be a tangle and a tragedy! The Lord Jesus said that those who do not enter the narrow gate are evildoers!

True Humility

A fellow worker showed me a message someone sent him, which talked about humility and pride, saying that we're all proud and not humble enough. So I'll talk to you about what humility really is. The person who sent this message doesn't really understand the meaning of humility. If he understood the true meaning of humility, he wouldn't talk nonsense. In the past few years, I've also been troubled by the definition of humility, but after studying it, I was surprised to find that people often think that those who say they're humble are not humble, which is very different from what the Bible says.

The Bible says that those who say they're humble are truly humble. Jesus said, “I am gentle and lowly in heart.” (See Matthew 11:29) How can you say that? Isn't Jesus too proud? But Jesus said it. Not only did Jesus say it, but Moses, who wrote the Pentateuch, also said of himself: Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth. (See Numbers 12:3)

The Apostle Paul also said this: “You yourselves know how I lived among you the whole time from the first day that I set foot in Asia, serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials which befell me through the plots of the Jews; how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and from teaching you in public and from house to house. (See Acts 20:18-20).

After reading this, I thought, How can someone write about themselves like this? If I said that I am extremely humble, wouldn't stones be thrown at me? But later, I found that truly humble people in the Bible all say this. What does the word humility really mean? Why do these people say they're humble? Because they clearly trust in God within them. Humility is not referring to our attitude towards people, but to our attitude before God. Humility is doing whatever God says.

Jesus, Moses, and Paul were all like this. They did whatever God said, and that's called being extremely humble. If that's the case, I can also say that I am extremely humble. The meaning of humility is not saying in front of people, Sisters, I can't do it, but Jesus can. What kind of talk is that? That talk is actually useless. One day, we will all go before Jesus, and see whether Jesus knows you or not.

Today, we want to enter the narrow gate and constantly raise our standards for ourselves, which includes casting out demons and healing the sick. We just read verse 22. Let's read verse 31 together again:

At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, “Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you.” And he said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I finish my course. Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the day following; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish away from Jerusalem.’ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! Behold, your house is forsaken. And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’” (Luke 13:31-35)

Jesus walked the narrow gate, which is: Today and tomorrow I cast out demons and perform cures, and the third day I finish my course. Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the day following; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish away from Jerusalem. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets. Jerusalem often kills prophets. What does Jerusalem refer to? It refers to the church. The church often kills prophets, killing those who truly build the narrow gate church according to God's will. Because such prophets often proclaim messages that don't quite align with people's logical systems. People don't like to hear these messages, but messages that God likes to hear will be continuously proclaimed in the narrow gate church!

When we do this, Herod will want to kill us; Satan, the old fox, will want to kill us. Nevertheless, today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, we cast out demons and heal the sick, and let God's kingdom come. Through God's power, we constantly cast out demons and constantly release those who are captive and oppressed. This is the fruit we must bear in the narrow gate. We must take this fruit and come before God, and say to God: God, look, I followed what you said. Today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, I must go on my way.

We will continue to move forward according to what God has said, even if death cannot stop us from squeezing into this narrow gate, nor can death stop us from releasing the captives, trampling on the devil and the enemy, trampling on Satan's dark power, and allowing God's glory to be manifested through us! So if someone still asks today, are there few who are saved? Not many are saved, so this is a narrow gate. But indeed, people will come from the east, west, north, and south, and people from all over the world will come to sit at the table in God's kingdom. But the gate of God's kingdom is indeed a narrow gate, and you must strive to enter!

Summary

Today, start to know God's will and walk according to God's will, just as Jesus said. Lord, I have left everything to follow you. This the narrow gate. Of course, this narrow gate is very narrow in length, width, and height, and we must work hard to squeeze into this gate of the kingdom of heaven. When we squeeze into the gate of the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of heaven behind the gate is extremely vast.

We no longer live in this worldly logical system. It is no longer I who live, but Jesus Christ who lives in us. Now we are in the kingdom of Jesus Christ, like a woman hiding leaven in three measures of flour, until the whole batch is leavened. God's glory will fill the whole earth because of us. I believe that God's glory has a share with you and me, so no matter how difficult it is, we must overcome it!

May God bless everyone!
