【Bible Study】Exodus Chapter 35 – Build God's Tabernacle with Wisdom!

2022-05-11 22,388 Exodus Holy Spirit Consecration Wisdom Willingness and Joy Attitude Victory in Spiritual Warfare

Introduction

Greetings everyone! Let's delve into the thirty-fifth chapter of Exodus. As I read it, I noticed its repetition with chapter thirty-one. The similarity between these two chapters made me wonder if Moses was confused. However, upon closer examination, I realized that they address different aspects. Moses wasn't senile; he aimed to convey the message from varied perspectives.

The central theme I want to introduce is: Building God's Tabernacle with Wisdom. It might seem familiar yet distinct, and I will gradually elaborate. I believe Moses intended to discuss building God's Tabernacle with wisdom. Whether my interpretation is accurate, I invite you to listen and consider it as a reference.

The Paramount Importance of Building God's Tabernacle

Why construct God's Tabernacle? It serves as the most vital weapon for God's army. The entire Book of Exodus narrates the exodus of Jehovah's army from Egypt. Typically, one might expect the creation of chariots, horses, atomic bombs, rockets, spears, and fighter jets upon reaching the wilderness. While these specific items weren't available three and a half millennia ago, the focus would likely be on steel and iron production, or bronze casting during the Bronze Age.

Pharaoh of Egypt relied on chariots, horses, weaponry, and warriors for battle. However, as God's army, our primary task upon leaving Egypt is to build God's Tabernacle. You must please God, for His displeasure can bring trouble. It's crucial to understand that blessings originate from Him, and so do curses. Many Christians are unaware of this, or have not thoroughly studied the Bible, assuming curses solely come from the devil. Such an understanding hinders church building.

Why do I say this? Because many churches interpret Exodus differently from us. Our church has rightly prioritized building God's glorious church. In my healing and deliverance course, I've observed various theological systems involving anointing, gifts, and laying on of hands, often accompanied by chaotic displays. However, our healing and deliverance theology centers on building God's glorious church, akin to Moses building the Tabernacle. This empowers the church to triumph in spiritual warfare.

I assure you, I confront demons daily, as they attempt to challenge me, only to be defeated. I've told them, "Why bother coming here to be humiliated repeatedly?" I possess an atomic bomb – God's glorious church. This is firmly established in our resolve, and no enemy can stand against me.

Those who come among us receive healing, finding strategy and weaponry. Ascending the mountain of Jehovah and entering the temple of the God of Jacob, we build upon divine truth. You'll witness the incredible sensation of victory in spiritual battles. This simple truth isn't profound. Many churches today emphasize anointing when gifts fail, and laying on of hands when anointing is ineffective, creating a convoluted mess.

When these methods prove insufficient, they seek Elisha's tomb, hoping to absorb his anointing by lying upon it. I find these efforts futile. We all read the same Bible, yet I thank God for granting me the wisdom to recognize that building God's glorious church is the command of the Most High. The wisest endeavor in life is to build God's glorious church, a path of excitement.

Thus, when demons confront us, they fail to realize that one person has grown into a multitude, all dedicated to building God's glorious church. Here, God's Tabernacle, altar, and presence reside, along with the atomic bomb of spiritual warfare. So, demons, refrain from brandishing your swords here. This simple principle has become the core of Chinese Mingding Destiny.

Do you desire victory? Rely on God and build His glorious church. This understanding of the church was corrupted by Martin Luther. While he initiated reformation, he diminished the concept of the church. Previously, solitary practice was favored, and now even more prefer it. Today, many seek personal closeness with God in secret chambers, while churches neglect building a glorious church, focusing instead on building a glorious family.

The Bible doesn't emphasize building a glorious family; this is a misinterpretation. I find it peculiar that the Bible doesn't instruct us to build a home. Did Moses request donations to build his glorious home? No, that's unfounded. Making tables, cabinets, curtains, hooks, tents, or lampstands for personal use—these concepts have been distorted over time, resulting in personal loss.

If you follow my line of reasoning, what will you learn? "Oh, that's how it is!" You might observe pastors contracting cancer and dying, leading to memorial services where they're praised as good people. While they may be good husbands and friends, are the teachings they promoted in the church biblical? No! Examine closely the consequences of not building God's glorious church according to His word. The outcomes are unfavorable. If you seek pleasant words, I have none. But if you seek God's word, I have much to share.

After leading the Israelites out of Egypt, Moses dedicated significant time to building God's Tabernacle, where God would speak to him and deliver His word to the Israelites. Therefore, brethren, in the New Testament era, God's intention remains His victorious church. If you're unaware of this, ponder it. From Genesis to Revelation, particularly John's Revelation, the seven letters to the seven churches emphasize the rewards for those who overcome.

These letters weren't addressed to seven families, yet pastors today focus on families. I'm not deliberately contradicting anyone, but the Bible doesn't instruct me to preach otherwise. Chinese Mingding Destiny leads you to build God's glorious church, a path that is excellent! It's our weapon for victory and plundering the enemy, for building God's army, Tabernacle, and church to triumph in spiritual warfare, far more effective than nuclear weapons!

A Willing Attitude is Wisdom

Willingly offering sacrifices means dedicating everything, yet you won't suffer loss. Such offerings aren't for building a Noah's Ark, as scams abound today! Someone might claim to build an ark in Yunnan for the end of the world, taking your money without delivering the ark.

Many Christians are gullible and easily deceived, a tragedy stemming from a lack of learning. The Bible, carefully crafted, possesses a unique characteristic: from Genesis to Revelation, it's the same God, with the Old and New Testaments forming a unified system.

A willing attitude is wisdom, but it's not for building a Noah's Ark, which is a scam! Nor is it for building a beautiful family, business, or academic career. Instead, a willing attitude involves offering sacrifices to build the Tabernacle commanded by God through Moses, a place for worship, service, and fellowship with God. Failure to grasp this is perilous!

"And all who are skilled among you shall come and make all that the Lord has commanded: the tabernacle, its tent and its covering, its hooks and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its bases; the ark and its poles, with the mercy seat and the veil of the covering; the table and its poles, and all its utensils, with the showbread; also the lampstand for the light, with its utensils and its lamps, with the oil for the light; the incense altar with its poles; the anointing oil and the sweet incense; the screen for the door at the entrance of the tabernacle; the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grating, its poles, and all its utensils; the basin with its stand; the hangings of the court, its pillars and its bases, and the screen for the gate of the court; the pegs of the tabernacle and the pegs of the court, with their cords; the finely worked garments for ministering in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest and for his sons to serve as priests." (Exodus 35:10-19)

These items relate to God's Tabernacle, not a pigsty, sheepfold, or palace. What does it mean? It means building God's church. You'll find that this willing attitude is for dedicating to God's temple, building His church. Some find it interesting to donate all their money to charity. Does the Bible mention charity? Yes, but it's not the primary focus.

I encountered someone constantly promoting charity, but the underlying belief system was garbage, leading to dire consequences. Yet, they believed they were right. Another person, deeply cursed, intended to donate a significant sum to God but instead gave it to the poor, thinking charity could replace offering to God and building His church. The curse deepened.

A willing attitude is wisdom. If you've experienced misfortune, prolonged illness, or severe disasters, reflect on your willingness. Is your charity divinely ordained? If not, after serving God, willingly serving and offering to Him, building His glorious temple, helping a few poor individuals is normal.

Some donate without a willing attitude, which is foolish! They donate money but feel miserable, lying in bed with anguish. I advise returning the money to alleviate their suffering. Such an attitude is foolish. Donating without willingness implies God lacks your offering, inviting curses! Valuing money excessively leads to unwilling donations, which is foolish! Willingness is wisdom. I often say, "How silly!" Sometimes I can't say it directly, so I vaguely mention it during Bible study and preaching.

Brethren, I must adjust your attitude towards giving. Many Christians have problematic attitudes. For example, someone told me, "Teacher, after donating, things have improved!" I asked how. "My business boomed! Tenants arrived, my boss promoted me, and I received benefits!"

I sensed multiple layers of meaning, revealing their excitement and priorities. Their face beamed with joy. Our God is humorous! "Teacher, donating is effective! I'm glad I listened to you!" But such an approach will eventually fail. The attitude is wrong! You seek money, not God! The motivation is flawed! The underlying message is problematic.

"Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need." (Malachi 3:10)

Building God's Tabernacle is immense wisdom. Money is merely God's test. At department stores, cosmetics are often sold with small samples, allowing you to experience God's goodness! However, some collect samples, using them for six months before returning for more.

Some might ask, "Teacher, how do you know?" I know everything. What kind of sample are you? I know. You keep offering samples to God, but you'll become a sample yourself! You're merely playing with a sample!

When you donate to God and receive a small benefit, God intends for you to recognize the abundance of His grace and glory, surpassing our imagination. If you focus solely on the sample, your attitude is foolish! Are there such individuals among us? If you're a sample, I must warn you: don't be a sample!

We must become someone who possesses God. When you approach, God says, "The sample is here again." It's futile, foolish. So, brethren, know that God's Tabernacle and glorious church are my lifelong pursuit. I want to be someone who possesses God, with my name linked to His. Where God is, I will be. What God wants me to do, I will do diligently.

Trying it out initially is acceptable, but not repeatedly! God might stop responding. Many Israelites donated willingly, and unwilling donations were rejected.

Everyone who was willing and whose heart moved him came and brought an offering to the Lord for the work on the tent of meeting, for all its service, and for the holy garments. Do you understand? Don't misunderstand this. Sometimes I lament that Christians become sample Christians, a tragedy! Why be a sample Christian? Be a significant, resounding Christian, whom God calls faithful and good! Don't be a sample!

A willing attitude is based on God, on the key to living a beautiful life: possessing God! Not everyone believes this. Those who don't can do as they please. Those who believe should trust, knowing that the most important weapon of God's army is His Tabernacle, His glorious temple! Many lack a concept of the church, which is tragic.

I've noticed that many Christians enjoy gathering, unable to be separated. Why? They enjoy chatting, oblivious to God's absence. They pursue gossip. Our church lacks this. I won't create a small group for casual chatter. I call that nonsense.

Our church also lacks women's or sisters' fellowships. I've seen such fellowships where women gossip about their husbands. Initially cheerful, they return home discontented, comparing their husbands to others. That's their husband! Don't build women's fellowships.

Willing service and giving are wisdom. Anything not building God's glorious church is foolish. So, brethren, donate willingly, or don't donate at all! Unwilling donations are considered unclean. Our church isn't a place to collect money but to bestow blessings! The church must become a place of blessing.

Was the Israelites' willing donation to build God's Tabernacle wise? Yes! If God's Tabernacle is built, and the Israelites trust God, they'll soon enter the Promised Land, a land flowing with milk and honey. But they distrusted and offended God. Offend anyone but God, fear no one but God!

Our church's money comes from God! You think it's your donation? You don't have to donate. The church will continue because many brethren have personally experienced and tested God's blessings, donating willingly to build God's glorious church, leading to greater blessings! It's because we have a mindset to build a glorious church!

Many Christians today lack a concept of the church, engaging in nonsense, criticizing their pastor while remaining in the church. It's strange! Lacking a concept of the church, you should have my mindset! If you disapprove of the church, start your own! I don't want to argue with those pastors who speak nonsense without God's word. I left and searched for a suitable church, but finding none, I started my own.

Brethren, be wise! You're more fortunate than I. If I had found a good church to follow, I wouldn't have suffered so much. The greatest demons came to challenge me. Because I'm building God's glorious church, if each of you builds God's glorious church, constantly ascending spiritual heights, clearly proclaiming God's word, God's wisdom will be with you. With a willing mindset to build God's glorious church, you'll be like me, bringing joy to both of us.

If you surpass me, I'll be even happier! If a thousand or ten thousand churches like Chinese Mingding Destiny emerge, how prosperous would God's kingdom be! Building God's glorious church solves many problems. Have you heard of anyone thriving in their original church only to contract cancer upon joining us? No! Even if they do, I'll eliminate it because this place has God's presence, grace, and blessings.

If you love the world and indulge the flesh among us, I'll correct those bad habits, eliminating competition, comparison, envy, jealousy, and hatred, freeing you from suffering. I specialize in this, removing your chances of cancer. Where is there indulgence of the flesh, love of the world, or opportunities to discern good and evil here? If you try, I'll correct you.

So, brethren, strengthen yourselves, dedicating the time we would have spent on sickbeds, suffering from dementia, enduring pain, chemotherapy, radiation, and wasting diseases to God! It's wonderful! Exchanging it for a life of excitement. A willing attitude is crucial. How am I so wise? My service to God is willing! Many pastors serve unwillingly, like sitting on a tiger bench, inviting cancer!

Building God's Temple Requires Wisdom from God

I tell everyone, I also think I am quite clever, not to boast, because my wisdom comes from God. How can you compare with that which comes from God! Women with wisdom in their hearts spun thread with their own hands, do you understand? Men with wisdom in their hearts personally did handicrafts, with wisdom in their hearts, there is the Spirit of God. Brothers and sisters must know that this wisdom is the Spirit of God, the Spirit of God is wisdom, wisdom comes from God, this thing is extraordinary. So once you have a willing attitude, God will constantly add wisdom to you, and you will find that no matter what you do, your mind is clear and you are skilled. Ah! I feel that there is room for exploration in this matter of being skilled.

Brothers and sisters, think carefully, see if what I do is very interesting, I am very eager for everyone to become smart and wise. You see this person's head is very bright, does a bright head mean wisdom? It's not like that. I tell everyone, I have studied it for a long time, with wisdom from God, you will find that this person is spiritually clear, able to do all kinds of work, and very skilled.

You say, why didn't Moses do it himself? I tell you, Moses is amazing! When Moses was born, God was with him. Don't think that God only called him when Moses was over eighty years old, only then remembered him. In fact, in the Egyptian palace, God was with Moses. Moses learned all kinds of knowledge, he learned very well and very quickly. Do you understand? Moses was a very powerful man, he learned all kinds of knowledge in the Egyptian palace, he was a very skilled person.

If we look back carefully, you need to have some understanding of the Bible, this is definitely not speculation. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were all skilled people, very powerful people, and so was Moses. Moses was skilled, so why didn't he do it himself? On the mountain, God explained it to him, and he understood it clearly. He knew clearly in his mind how to do it. If his mind was not clear, he would not be able to lead the people below to do it. Otherwise, he would not know if the people below did it wrong. Moses was a clever man.

Later, I found that people with God are definitely not those who shout Hallelujah very loudly, and whose hands and mouths are as clumsy as cotton trousers. What I mean is skillfulness is closely related to the Spirit of God, if you want to come here and show off, I want to see the work you do. Brothers and sisters, start training yourselves to be skillful, your skillfulness is a sign that the Spirit of God is with you. If you are as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, will the Spirit of God come? It's not like that, don't be foolish!

To train people, if you want to make their brains smart, first train their hands. Once their hands are skilled, their brains will definitely be smart. If your brain is not smart, start with your hands and train to do housework. China's education system is gradually evolving. It used to be just exams, but now it's different. Now children have to learn to do housework. The research results of Harvard University are: children who do housework from a young age will be smart when they grow up, it's very amazing. So I must train you to be a skillful person.

Secondly, I must train you to be a person who can speak well. If you can speak well, your brain works well; if your hands can work, your brain works well. What is the shape of the hands of people with Down syndrome? Those hands are crooked, and it's not easy to hold anything. There is also a kind of hand that is small, fleshy, and soft, like cotton. The person is tall and big, but the hands are not easy to use. People like this often have brains that don't work well either.

We must build the church into a place to train people to be skillful, representing that the Spirit of God is with you. Don't be afraid if you don't do well; don't be afraid of being stupid as a Christian, because when you come to God, with the Spirit of God, you will immediately become powerful. If your hands are clumsy, you can pray while you work, and your brain will soon work well. Our research on this knowledge is amazing! When you come among us, children become smarter and more obedient, and their grades also improve; when you come among us, adults also become more obedient, their hands become more skillful, and they become more powerful. Of course, if people don't want us to manage them, we can't manage them. As long as they are willing to let us fix them, we can fix them all.

Some people are controlled by demons and say: Look, you didn't fix that person well, did you? They thought that if they said this, I would be discouraged. I said: You demons, don't be silly, that's because they don't want me to fix them, they insist on following the demons, so let's not insist on fixing them. Aren't those who are willing to let me fix them all fixed well? Traditional churches say: Look how much life this brother has, he comes to set up chairs on Sundays, and he is still cleaning up after others leave, how much life! I think this understanding of life seems to be a bit off, they don't even read the Bible, they just cook for the church every day, what kind of life is that?

The Spirit of God is wisdom. So you practice from a young age, with this good attitude, the Spirit of God will fill you, and if you are eager to become smart, it will be easy to be spiritually clear and able to teach others. How much can I do alone? I must teach you to be smart, in fact, teaching you to be smart is the work of the Spirit of God. When you are taught to be smart, you can go and teach others. Those who have taken my class, you will find that I have some spiritual clarity in my heart, right? When teaching people, I will make very complex things very simple, and then teach people. Do you think I was born like this? No, God gave me a lot of wisdom in this area.

The LORD has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts— to instruct others. (Exodus 35:34)

So our church is a place to make people smart, this brand must be smashed out, it's amazing! Our brothers and sisters are all fortunate to come among us, our church is different from other churches. To be honest, many churches really make people stupid. So brothers and sisters, start to desire to train your hands, to build God's church, you must be a skillful person. Many pastors don't even know how to use an electric drill, they hold an electric drill like someone with Down syndrome. I am a skillful person, I liked to do things when I was young, and later I thought, I thank God, God trained me when I was young.

Keep the Sabbath

Keeping the Sabbath, there are several concepts conveyed here, that is, you don't work by smashing time. Some people are stupid! If they can't finish in two hours, they work for four hours, if they can't finish in four hours, they work for eight hours, if they can't finish in eight hours, they work for sixteen hours, they work by smashing time. Working by smashing time is definitely a stupid person. For the same work, I will not work until I have no time to rest, because I definitely don't rely on smashing time, I rely on wisdom. Ordinary people can't work as fast as me, I work fast.

One day I met an old friend, and he said: Where do you get so much time? Do you see me as the kind of person who is flustered, who is in a hurry to do things before even drinking tea, as if there is endless work to do? I don't have this situation. Because that kind of busyness is blind busyness, like a headless fly. My friend asked me: Why aren't you busy? Because I work fast. Some people make mistakes as soon as they work, and disassemble it again and again, tripling the original amount of work.

So how do I work so fast? Because of rest! Rest will prevent you from being flustered and hasty. I don't make myself nervous every day either. I summarize it in one sentence: Strength lies in calmness and security, salvation lies in returning to rest! Everyone must not save all the time for sleeping while working. God gave Moses and the Israelites a command, although you are building my tabernacle, you must remember to work for six days and rest on the seventh day.

I will give you an idea, often summarize, organize, abstract, and conclude. Every time we do something, we will find the law behind it. The next time we encounter this thing, we will know how to do it, we must learn to summarize. I'll give you an example, you can tell that this child is lazy, his housework is as clumsy as cotton trousers, and he often distinguishes good from evil, and he is nervous when doing things. After I fix one, I abstract this matter, this is a model! Later, another one came that was the same as the last one, and I will fix it, I won't be as slow as before, I abstracted a model.

We often call working a mathematical model. I want to engage in artificial intelligence pastoral care. In the future, my artificial intelligence pastoral care will surpass many pastors. The most important thing in artificial intelligence pastoral care is to abstract a model. As soon as a person comes, the system can see what his situation is. Sometimes the system can even scold him a few words. Once a person establishes a model, it is easy to handle, this is called abstraction. After abstraction, summarize, after induction, organize, and people cannot be busy.

As a Christian, the most important thing is to compete for wisdom. If you want to compete for wisdom, the most important thing is to compete for God's presence, and the most important thing is not to smash time. Although I am an engineering student, I have my own set of things for writing articles. As I write, I summarize, organize, abstract, and conclude. I suddenly discovered that this is how things are written. If you let me write prose, it will be difficult, and I will write lyrical things as I write. But if you let me explain things clearly, it is still difficult for ordinary people to compare with me.

Keep the Sabbath, so what is the Sabbath? On this day, we rest, be with God, abstract, summarize, induce, organize, and know that wisdom comes from God. The most foolish thing about people is being busy, nervous, and like a headless fly, or to put it bluntly, like a mad dog, not knowing where to bump into, messing around.

Do as God Says

Do as God says, that's great! God's design for us is a wonderful design, the problem is that people don't do it! My mother once gave me a sentence, and I think it is very useful. I tell you to go east, you go west, I tell you to chase the dog, you catch the chicken, summarizing the disobedient person incisively and vividly. God tells you to build God's temple, but you go to build people's homes, and finally turn the church into a matchmaking center. When the couple quarrels, they scold the pastor. I don't like doing this, to put it bluntly, it's meddling. When the couple quarrels, they bring me out and scold me behind my back. When the couple reconciles, they forget me.

I only do one thing, which is to build God's glorious church. What if the couple quarrels? I fix them one by one. I don't care who is right or wrong, I want to make both of them people with destiny. Why do all kinds of problems arise when two people are together? Because two people are together, there are some trivial things, nonsense things. Do the married people among us understand what I am saying?

Later, I studied the Bible and found that the family is the enemy of God's kingdom. If you value your family very much, you don't even have to think about it, your family is the enemy of God's kingdom. If you don't agree with what I said, or don't agree with what you heard online, it doesn't matter, you can check the Bible yourself to see if it is so. Whether my summary is correct is another matter. We do as God says, there is no disagreement on this matter, the problem is to see if what we are doing is the same thing.

Everyone be a smart person, no matter what, don't be a foolish person, we do as God says. If you are a Buddhist, then do as the Buddha says; if you are a Muslim, then do as Muhammad says; I am a Christian, then do as Jesus says; some people, their master is their wife, then do as your wife says, let's not argue! As for me, I am a person who builds God's glorious church, this is my Mingding Destiny.

May God bless everyone!
