Introduction

Good morning. Welcome to our New Era Christian Transformation Seminar. I am here to share a new gospel with you, not because it is a new gospel per se, but because much of what is currently being preached is not in line with the Bible. We must bring about change. Many years ago, God told me to bring about a transformation. At the time, I felt I was not qualified to do something so significant. I dared to mention it to someone, only to be met with a bucket of cold water. So, I kept delaying it until today. But I thank God that I have finally mustered the courage to speak about a new era of Christian transformation. Of course, I am also apprehensive. Do not think this is an easy task, as it will step on many people's toes and even touch some raw nerves.

The theme of the first lecture is: Hypocrisy in the New Era. There will be a total of ten lectures. After each one, there will be a Q&A session where you can raise your questions, and I will try my best to answer them without any pretense. To accommodate the time in the US and Canada, the previous day's content will be repeated every day at eleven o'clock in the morning, either by me re- lecturing or by playing the recording from the first day. Whether it is Beijing time or US/Canada time, there will be a live Q&A session after the lecture.

Over the next ten days, the content will revolve around The Transformation of Christianity in the New Era. Some may find it a bit strange, but that's okay. What I am saying is truly the word of God. About five years ago, God told me to change the current gospel because much of it does not work. I cautiously told a friend I have known for many years in the church that I wanted to bring about a Christian transformation, but his reaction was so strong that his face changed, not for the better but for the worse, as if he had seen a ghost.

This incident left a deep impression on me. He thought I was bringing a false transformation. The word transformation deeply reminded him of Martin Luther. Martin Luther was a reformer, and he thought I could not possibly do what Martin Luther did. Actually, he was not familiar with Martin Luther, only knowing that he reformed, but not knowing what he specifically reformed. Martin Luther did not truly achieve justification by faith, nor did he fully understand Romans. In fact, transformation has never stopped. For example, during the Qin dynasty, there were reforms during the reigns of Duke Mu of Qin and Duke Xiao of Qin, and even during the reign of Qin Shi Huang, reforms continued. Reform never stops, and a conservative person is not effective. Jesus Christ constantly talked about new wine and new wineskins. Martin Luther is several centuries in the past, but his transformation has not fully achieved God's will.

Today, in this generation, we must pursue one thing: to satisfy the will of God. Never mind if people throw a bucket or two of cold water; we won't even care if they throw a bucket of excrement. On this Christmas Eve, we will celebrate a Christmas in unity with Jesus and Paul. What Martin Luther did in his time was far from what Jesus Christ and the apostles did. Sometimes, when people criticize me, I have to bear it. They ask, How do you know you are right? I pondered this for a long time at home, and finally, I understood it. To see if something is right or wrong, you have to see whom it resembles. If it does not resemble the Gospel that Jesus preached, then it is not the Gospel. From then on, resembling Jesus was deeply imprinted in my mind. When I used this logic to examine the church, the more I looked, the more uncomfortable I felt, because there was no resemblance to Jesus, but a lot of things that did not resemble Him.

Once, I flew to Taiwan to minister to a seriously ill patient and met my old friend, who described the situation he saw in the church in Hokkien: Those who lay eggs are not there, but those who defecate are everywhere. After studying theology, he went to help in a church in New Zealand. As soon as the senior pastor saw that help had arrived, he immediately bought tickets and took his whole family on vacation, leaving my friend to serve alone in the church. While moving chairs, he accidentally fractured his arm . When he called the pastor, the pastor was only halfway through his trip. The pastor was immediately in a dilemma: should he take care of his arm or continue his trip? In the end, he chose to complete his grand tour before figuring out how to send my friend back to Taiwan.

Although my friend's arm was superficially healed after returning to Taiwan, it still hurt. He cooked in the local church, but the pastor did not care whether his arm hurt or not; he had to cook, which was called serving God. When he came to see me in Taiwan, he said his arm still hurt. I laid my hands on his arm and prayed, and the pain was completely gone in five minutes. Was it not the same during the time of Jesus? The Pharisees in the temple, from the high priests to the lesser priests to the scribes and Pharisees, were all like that.

Many churches organize activities, put on shows, and exchange gifts on Christmas Eve, but we are speaking about God's will. This transformation will be promoted through our Chinese Mingding Doctrine . This is a movement to resemble Jesus Christ; everyone must strive to be like Jesus, like the Apostle Paul. This is God's will. Why has the Gospel of Jesus Christ become ineffective? Based on what I have seen in churches over the years and the videos I have seen online, pastors want to build themselves into world-renowned pastors, put on the ephod, wear hats, and raise trumpets; then put up big banners and march in formation, looking like they are performing a ritual. As for what good it does, we really do not know.

Some time ago, before the pandemic was completely over, 300,000 people gathered in Seoul, waving flags and banners. It was a grand scene; anyone who did not know would have thought they were opening the Olympics, and then nothing happened. A friend of mine who is a pastor in a church also went and contracted COVID-19, then posted a video of himself struggling to breathe online. Is this what the church should be doing? Unfortunately, this is the gospel being preached in this generation.

This generation must change. If Jesus Christ came, what would he say? He would say, Woe to you, hypocritical generation! Woe to you hypocrites! Today, those among us who have contracted COVID-19 have been healed through prayer. If Jesus Christ came, he would question, If you cannot even handle COVID-19, what hypocritical things have you been doing usually? How much suffering has this caused? Hypocrisy has always prevailed since the beginning of time, and today is no exception. Today, how much we need to bless this generation! We are born into this generation to bless this generation and even bless future generations. We must bring back the powerful gospel preached by Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul!

Have you heard of the term Reformed? They want to return to Martin Luther, but they do not know how distorted Martin Luther has become. Martin Luther was used by God to correct the gospel a little because it had become so distorted at the time. If you return to Martin Luther today, you will be returning to a distorted version. To be reformed, you must return to Jesus and the Apostle Paul, do not return to the wrong place. Chinese Mingding Doctrine was founded by me. I have redefined what it means to be Reformed. I rely on the Bible to re-read the word of God and gain many revelations.

Without God's revelation, there is no way to return to the Gospel of the Apostle Paul. We have redefined many of the chaotic concepts of contemporary Christianity, correcting these chaotic concepts one by one. Some people doubt how I know that is the right way. I can say that as long as you have a primary school education, you will know that what I am saying is truly the word of the Bible. From Genesis to Revelation, we have read it together several times. For Genesis alone, we are now on the seventh version. I am not only saying this to newcomers; our brothers and sisters in the church will definitely agree. If anyone asks me where this confidence comes from, I can only say that I just believe.

I have defined some concepts, such as what the gospel is, what the Holy Spirit and the church are, and what faith is all about. What are healing and deliverance? Where do the keys to the kingdom of heaven come from? It also includes Mount Zion, the temple, and Jerusalem in the Old Testament, all of which have been re- summarized clearly. If you still want to spend money to see Israel today, just treat it as a trip. Anyway, it is not a sin to go for fun, just do not treat it as a pilgrimage. The real pilgrimage is to build up the body of Jesus Christ, to build up the temple of God. We have removed many confusions and re-proved that this gospel is still a powerful gospel. The person I admire most is Jesus. Of course, the Son of God is not within the scope of us sinners. If we are talking about sinners, the person I admire most is the Apostle Paul. Without the Apostle Paul, we would not have the pure gospel we have today!

Scripture

Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. (Matthew 23:13)

“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are. Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.’ You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred? You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on it, he is bound by his oath.’ You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred? (Matthew 23:16-19)

Therefore, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by him who dwells in it. And he who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by him who sits on it. Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel. (Matthew 23:20-24)

“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean. Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness. Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your forefathers! (Matthew 23:24-32)

“You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? Therefore I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town. And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. I tell you the truth, all this will come upon this generation. (Matthew 23:33-36)

Prayer

God, save us from hypocrisy! God, may your gospel save us in this generation. May you be the strength within us! God, we are willing to follow you, and we want to completely abandon the hypocrisy within us. God, help us today and let us become vessels that can be used by you! God, help us escape the woe of the Pharisees. Let us return to the covering of your powerful gospel, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Scripture Background

There is a very interesting background to these verses: a group of people who study the Bible have turned themselves into hypocritical Pharisees. It is frightening to think that studying the Bible can lead to becoming Pharisees, a brood of vipers, and hypocritical. Some people always think that reading the Bible is very good, but how can it lead to Pharisees and hypocrisy? Tracing back to history, after the Israelites left Egypt and entered Canaan, many people rose up in Canaan to become leaders of the Israelites and lead Israel. That period became known as the time of the judges. Later, the Israelites felt that the system of judges was not good and wanted to establish a king. So, King Saul appeared, and God raised up King David, and the kingdom of Israel became the kingdom of Judah and the kingdom of Israel.

Both of these kingdoms were later destroyed. After the kingdom of Judah was destroyed, it was taken to Babylon. A Persian emperor allowed the Israelites to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple. The first group to return was Zerubbabel. Zerubbabel had a hard time building the temple. Several decades later, another Persian emperor sent Nehemiah and Ezra back to rebuild the temple, but the temple was still desolate. This shows how amazing God is, that he allowed a Persian emperor to see the destruction of the Israelite kingdom, the entire territory under the jurisdiction of the Persian Empire, and still allowed the Israelites to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple. However, among the Jews who returned to rebuild the temple in the time of Zerubbabel, some advocated family first, so the temple was never built, but the families were built quite well.

By the time of Malachi, that is, in the time of Nehemiah and Ezra, the temple was still built haphazardly and was extremely desolate. Because everyone was busy with their own little families, much like today, the church or temple was still extremely desolate. Among those who returned was a scribe named Ezra, who was very familiar with the law and the Bible. He valued the Bible very much and opened a seminary for it, which lasted for more than 400 years and was still around in the time of Jesus. The school specialized in training Pharisees, but they became a joke when Jesus came. The people trained by Ezra became hypocritical teachers of the law and Pharisees, which is very confusing. Later, I finally understood this passage and concluded that hypocrisy has hardly ever lost since ancient times, and even if you and I fight against hypocrisy, the probability of winning is not high.

When I was casting out demons, I found that hypocrisy was very powerful. The demon behind hypocrisy told me that it had never lost in so many years. At first, I thought it was bragging, but then I realized that it was telling the truth. It also said that it was sorry, but it had finally been defeated by me. Hypocrisy must have been defeated by Jesus Christ and by the Apostle Paul, but Peter did not win because he was a big pretender. He spoke to people as they wanted to be spoken to, and he spoke to ghosts as they wanted to be spoken to. There is evidence of Peter's pretense in the Bible, otherwise, we would not dare to say it.

Even in the time of Jesus, those trained by Ezra were described as a brood of vipers. Let me briefly explain the gist of this passage. After being trained, these individuals shut the door to the Kingdom of Heaven. So, it is not surprising that churches today also shut the door to the Kingdom, for if they did so in Jesus' time, wouldn't they do so even more today? The spiritual realm is powerful, and the demons behind the brood of vipers are particularly ruthless. After all this, they shut the door to the Kingdom of Heaven and then actively preached a gospel that led to a closed Kingdom.

You must slowly ponder what I am saying. Being zealous in evangelism means little if you preach a gospel that leads to a closed Kingdom, making you a child of hell. None of this is surprising; it is all a trick of the devil. After preaching this gospel and enticing people into the church, they realize the gospel is ineffective, solving no problems and adding an extra cross to bear, which is carried with great difficulty. Many among us who come from external churches have had such experiences, being dirt poor yet serving as mighty prayer warriors in their churches, which has become a joke.

Then there are those who practice alone at home, setting up flags, trumpets, and drum kits, practicing and worshiping at home by themselves. They look down on the church, and the church looks down on them, so they set up a whole lot of things at home. This is still considered good. If joining a church doesn't help, it's even more troublesome. When problems arise, they can't be solved. For example, if they contract COVID-19 and can't be cured, they go to their pastor. If Jesus were standing beside them, they would be healed by touching Jesus, or Jesus would heal them by touching them. But when the pastor touches them, they are on the verge of death, and they are told that this is a blessing. I cannot understand how this could be a blessing. If it were me, I would ask the pastor if he needs prayer to receive some of that blessing too.

Those pastors who give ineffective prayers resort to nonsense, truly ignorant, blind people leading others. They say praying by the altar or in the temple is ineffective, but praying by the gold in the temple is effective, which is complete nonsense. After saying this, many will recognize themselves. You must have said such nonsense before, often saying unintelligible things when visiting and comforting the sick in the hospital.

You must understand that shutting the door to the Kingdom of Heaven while zealously proselytizing brings curses upon those brought into the church. Both preaching the wrong gospel and believing the wrong gospel are cursed. I have searched the Bible for any mention of cancer being a blessing, but found none. Yet, after preaching such nonsense, they demand offerings even when people are unable to give, insisting on tithing even from the mint, dill, and whatever else is grown at home.

Some people tell the pastor that they have spent all their money on doctors and have nothing left to offer. The pastor replies that it is because they do not give offerings that they need to see doctors. If people do not give, the church’s building project, which cost a lot of money, involved loans of 320 million, followed by an additional 30 million. The pastor and the congregation are in a dilemma, creating a chaotic situation. Yet, the pastor still goes on stage to preach, saying that Joseph should not have told his family about his dreams, because telling them led to his being sold into Egypt, becoming a slave and being imprisoned. He twists everything around, saying Joseph was too proud. Some say I am too proud, embarking on some New Era Christian Reformation, and should just give up. Don't think that if someone tells me to give up, I will. A person like me will not give up so easily.

There are also those who misinterpret the saying, You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel, focusing on trivial matters, discussing unimportant things with great enthusiasm, while failing to explain the true will of God. The core interest within them is extortion and licentiousness. Don't think they are interested in your problems; they are only interested in your offerings. Do Christians feel a chill in their hearts upon hearing this? It was the same in the time of Jesus, which is why I finally understand what Jesus said.

After doing all these things, they confidently say that if they had been around in Jesus' time, they would not have crucified him. But if Jesus came today, they would do the same thing again because they do not recognize Jesus as God. The pure gospel, the gospel of the Apostle Paul, is clearly written in the Bible, but they do not study it properly. Instead, they diligently read the fraudulent epistles of Peter, 1 Peter and 2 Peter, wearing out their knees in the process. They show off their calloused knees, considering them a sign of spirituality. They also read the Book of James very carefully. I have been wondering about the logic of all this until I finally understood that hypocrisy is consistent.

Peter was a king of hypocrisy, initiating a history of hypocrisy in the church, yet confidently believing that he would not have crucified Jesus or the prophets. But they did crucify Jesus, and the sin falls upon this hypocritical generation. Therefore, brothers and sisters, we must continue to pass on what the Lord Jesus and the Apostle Paul taught in this generation. We must continue to fight against the evil habit of hypocrisy. We are not pointing to the external hypocrisy, but to the hypocrisy among us.

History is Strikingly Similar

The Old Testament and the New Testament are extremely similar. The people in the Old Testament were corrupt, and so are the people in the New Testament. I can cite many examples where hypocrisy is identical. There was one interesting person. After a meeting, I drove him home and he said he had chest pain. I said it was a minor matter, and had him put his hand on his chest. I prayed for him, and he was healed and no longer in pain. After returning to his church, he told everyone to be careful because that pastor was an extreme charismatic. I was puzzled about what I had done. He was unable to pray for others to be healed, but when I prayed for him, he was healed, and that made me an extreme charismatic. What kind of logic is that? Why didn't he say that the pastor was more like Jesus, or even that such-and-such was a little like Jesus? I wouldn't even mind being called such-and-such.

I tell you, whether it was in the time of Jesus and Moses or in the time of the Apostle Paul, history is strikingly similar. How did the church evolve into what it is today? They shut the door to the Kingdom of Heaven and proselytize, zealously bringing people into the church, only to make them children of hell. They speak nonsense and give false explanations, and when that doesn't work, they desperately pretend to be spiritual. They bring in all sorts of trivial matters, focusing on building temples and tithing, while neglecting justice and mercy. They are filled with licentiousness and extortion.

They are hypocritical all day long, thinking we can't see through it. Don't think that we today see through it just by reading the Bible; even a monkey springing from a stone can see that it is fake with its fiery golden eyes. If people are being fake, even the dogs on the street can tell at a glance. But they are the only ones who don't know it, confidently saying that they would not nail the prophets or Jesus to the cross like they did.

But I tell you, if Jesus comes again, he will not give them the chance to crucify him. If they had the chance again, they would re-crucify Jesus, because today they are constantly doing things that amount to re-crucifying Jesus. This sin will fall upon this generation, as Jesus said. If Jesus came among us today, he would say the same things. If you observe carefully, there are too many phenomena that confuse Christians. Later, I will share with you the confusion of Christians in this era, which is overwhelming.

Chinese Mingding Doctrine has seen the endless confusion and compares it to the Bible to act, and then follows God's Word to practice and discovers that the confusion is all caused by hypocrisy. If you come to Chinese Mingding Doctrine you'll find that we are working very hard today to deal with hypocrisy. But if you ask how well we are doing, we can only answer that we are far from done. Because this thing is in people's bone marrow, we have to change the blood, change the heart, change the brain, and change everything into Jesus Christ.

So, we are still actively working to deal with hypocrisy because this hypocrisy is too evil. One of our pastors called to minister to a sister who contracted COVID-19. She contracted COVID-19 because of caring for her mother. Her own child was at home, but she dared not go back, for fear of passing COVID-19 to her child. What kind of logic is this? Do you think you can stop it?

I can tell you that even if you build yourself a glass house and wrap yourself in it, you can still contract COVID-19. COVID-19 virus cannot be stopped by masks and hoods; it is useless to cover the whole body. Because this virus is closely related to the thoughts and intentions in people. As soon as this mother spoke, I knew that the logical system within her was very tangled. She couldn't go back, but her child at home hadn't eaten yet. Chinese Mingding Doctrine must solve these problems.

The hypocritical shut the door to the Kingdom of Heaven, yet zealously preach the gospel but make people children of hell, and feel this gospel invalid, and those believe the wrong gospel are cursed. And then they start talking nonsense and say some strange things. For example, offerings are useless and then confidently say that he will not nail the prophet to the cross, In fact they are all talking nonsense, behind those are the viper species.

You must know that the things in the spiritual realm are terrifying, and the spirit of the viper is a very fierce evil spirit, and all this is done by evil spirits. Many years ago, I started building a church because I saw that other churches were not good, and I felt that I was pretty good. I told God that this wasn't good, so I would build a church. As a result, the church I built was even worse than theirs. I thoroughly repented, and I have been repenting until today, and that's how Chinese Mingding Doctrine was established.

When I wanted to build a church, I went to other churches to see one by one. I went into the church, and God opened my eyes and let me see a lot of ghosts in the church. At that time, I didn't quite understand it, but now I understand it. Have you seen the weasel? There are black ones, and occasionally yellow ones, with very sharp eyes and bat-like shapes. At that time, I was quite puzzled that the church was very good, so why were there these things? I blinked and looked again, and they were gone again. At that time, I didn't quite understand it, but it turned out that it was a vision. I asked God what those were, and God said that these were the ghosts that ruled this church.

After reading Hypocrisy, I finally understood that it was all the work of evil spirits behind the scenes. After finally believing in the gospel and going to the church, it was too scary that the church was managed by a brood of vipers. They twisted the gospel around, took away what should have been given, and added a bunch of things that shouldn't have been added. Today, Chinese Mingding Doctrine must stand up, remove hypocrisy, and let every brother and sister in the church have the image of Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul.

During the past period, when COVID-19 was extremely rampant, there were too many people in our church who could be ministered to, and we couldn't even arrange it. God had long foretold through the prophet that in this era, God would raise up a faceless and nameless church, and every brother and sister would have the image of Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul, and even what an 18th-tier pastor among us could do would shock the world. But we must not be satisfied with this, and we must continue to deal with the things in us that discern good and evil and are hypocritical. This is a spiritual battle, and the devil lives in front of our door, and we must overcome it and subdue it.

If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it. (Genesis 4:7)

Hypocrisy Can Shut the Door to the Kingdom of Heaven

Where did the false gospel and the wrong gospel come from? Later, I began to study the Bible and discovered one thing: fortunately, there was the Apostle Paul, who preached the gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven and the pure gospel. You must know that in the time of the Apostle Paul, who was the one who was always shitting in the churches established by the Apostle Paul? Among them was Peter, and also Jesus' physical brother, James. These things are in the Bible, but many people have not understood them, and once they do, they will come to the same conclusion as me. Because Peter was being hypocritical, Jesus Christ chose the Apostle Paul in order to preserve a pure gospel, and we are really fortunate that God was able to choose the Apostle Paul. He earnestly contended for the pure gospel and fought a victorious battle in that generation. So, if you ask me who I admire the most, Jesus Christ is first, and the Apostle Paul is second.

What made the Apostle Paul so great? He opened up churches in that desolate generation, and in the midst of heavy resistance, he was able to withstand the pressure from Peter and James and maintain the pure gospel. Peter pleased people, while Paul did not please people, but only pleased God. Once a person is hypocritical, he will shut the door to the Kingdom of Heaven. Once he shuts the door to the Kingdom of Heaven, he loses the power of the Kingdom of Heaven, loses the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and then loses spiritual power. However, hypocrisy allows them to shut the door to the Kingdom of Heaven, but they still have to rely on this thing to eat, so they begin to run wildly on the road of hypocrisy. Brothers and sisters, you must know that hypocrisy can cover up small lies with big lies, and one lie added to another becomes more and more unmanageable.

Hypocrisy Will Zealously Proselytize

Hypocrisy will definitely zealously proselytize, and this snake is the most zealous in proselytizing, you know that? The brood of vipers is the spirit of religion. In the Old Testament, the Pharisees read the Bible, and as they read, they became a brood of vipers, proselytizing and making people children of hell. In the New Testament, the devil's tricks have hardly changed at all, and it is easy to copy and paste them, zealously proselytizing so that these people will believe a lie and become children of hell. Therefore, today we must persist and bring about a new era of Christian transformation, remove the devil's work, and allow God's people to enter into God's kingdom.

Those hypocritical ones zealously proselytize, and it seems that everyone is proselytizing, and they often bring people into the church. There seems to be salvation and people making decisions for Christ every day, and then they feel great about themselves, and they feel that they love God so much. But what are they loving? Because they believed a lie, they became a brood of vipers, and finally became children of hell. Do you think this can escape God's judgment? Some people say that because they are zealously proselytizing, there are still many people who believe in the Lord. But what can be proved by having many people who believe in the Lord? Lady Gaga's concerts have more people going to see them than your people, and this proves nothing.

I used to live in this confusion, but I have survived it. In fact, my whole ministry is very similar to the Apostle Paul's, and it is very difficult for small churches to survive in the cracks. At that time, if you said that people were wrong, their church was very big. The stage, the lights, and the worship were so well done. At that time, I felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say what it was, but today I think it's just so low.

Those numerous churches have very wealthy resources, and many members actively give offerings, actively evangelize, and zealously proselytize, and then there are many stories. It turns out that the devil's work is like this: to say that it's not a church, but it hangs up the sign of a church; to say that it preaches the wrong gospel, but it still zealously proselytizes. People kneel on their knees every day to pray and read the Bible, and they have calluses on their knees, which is very good. But Japanese people eat on their knees, so what can be gained by kneeling? They callused knee were given a name called Old Camel Knees, but isn't it normal for a camel to kneel there?

After actively building churches and making offerings, a question arises: is this like Jesus? They do not do what Jesus did, and do a lot of what Jesus did not do. Brothers and sisters, you must know that the Chinese Mingding Doctrine particularly desires to be like Jesus. Times have changed, but our God has not changed, and God's will has never changed. God's will does not change because times have changed. Therefore, until today, our church does not pursue numbers, but only pursues being like Jesus. Jesus screened people severely, and after screening, only a small number of people remained. Jesus never felt that more people meant more glory. Pursuing more people is what Peter did; one prayer led to 5,000 people believing, and one sermon led to 3,000 people believing. That is the will of man. Jesus' will is to bring God's treasures into God's kingdom.

Hypocrites Inevitably Speak and Act Nonsensically

The reason for speaking and acting nonsensically is that the gate of the kingdom of heaven is closed. Since preaching has brought people in, one must continue to deceive, or else the following days will be unbearable and the road ahead impassable. As a result, they deceive themselves while deceiving others. Originally, their legs were fine, but they bought a pair of crutches. After buying them, they wondered what to do with the crutches? They need to be lame to use them. Then they deceive themselves into becoming lame and actually lean on the crutches. This is the content of the comedy sketch Deception, but isn't reality like this? The most powerful thing about hypocrisy is deception; they do nothing else. The most deadly thing is that occasionally some things work, and occasionally some patients are healed. Then they give all kinds of testimonies, not knowing how they were healed or why they were not healed, which is extremely confusing.

Have you all noticed that if it never works, it's easy to handle. The problem is that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, which is deceptive. Programmers all know that if a program sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, the problem is difficult to find. If a program never runs, the problem is easy to find. But if it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, it's very troublesome. Because the devil is working behind the scenes, intentionally deceiving people. Those who don't understand create a series of tricks, calling one thing the prosperity gospel, another the charismatic movement, and another the evangelical movement. Isn't believing in things without basis just making things up?

Unbelievers see that the gospel doesn't work and say God is dead, but these hypocrites say they are evangelicals. Outsiders know that the gospel doesn't work in your place, but those inside are still very confident and think that this is the gospel. Therefore, hypocrites inevitably speak and act nonsensically. Know that behind the nonsense is a serpent, and God will judge these people in this generation. Who told you to follow the serpent? Who told you to be a hypocrite? You say you didn't know you were being a hypocrite, but that's because hypocrisy has become so real that you don't even know it's fake. Some people say that poverty is more spiritual, and receiving grace is not good. Being blessed after believing is not good, fearing that too many blessings will make you love the world. What kind of talk is this? In fact, the poor love the world even more.

Hypocrites Invert Priorities and Nitpick

Hypocrisy leads to inverting priorities and nitpicking. When reading the Bible, they take out Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph and criticize them all, as well as Tamar. Some are even seminary professors, but when they talk about Judah having children with Tamar, they sigh and say that Judah committed incest and fell. When they talk about Jacob marrying four wives, they focus on monogamy and say that Jacob's actions were wrong. This is inverting priorities; they don't grasp the key point and pick out trivial things, nitpicking.

A pastor announced his church's Christmas program, and I gave it another name: The Persecution of Joseph. This pastor stood on a high moral ground, using morality to judge God. He even started a movement called Family First. But when did God tell you to put family first? If so, how can the church serve? Someone who once followed me and learned a little, vowed to follow the pastor and the Chinese Mingding Doctrine until death, walking the path of the pure gospel preached by the Apostle Paul. But as soon as his wife opposed, he immediately retreated, and his fire was extinguished. When he preached again, he wept and said that he had neglected his wife and family in the past and put the church first. From now on, he would repent.

Does this sound familiar to everyone? He immediately became Peter because Peter said he would share the grace of life with his wife. Then this pastor went on to say that he would put God first, his family and wife second, and serving God third, which is confusing. This is hypocrisy, inverting priorities, and taking the Bible out of context to speak nonsense. From this, it can be seen that there are many things we need to do in this generation.

Brothers and sisters, tidy up our faith. The road ahead is rugged, the challenges are huge, and there will definitely be difficulties, but the market is also very large. I want to tell everyone that all the content we teach in the Chinese Mingding Doctrine, except for those things that we don't want to cause people to stumble, is all made public for everyone to use for free. I can boldly say that there are many people using our materials now. There was a pastor I had known for many years who promised another church that he would lead them in studying Romans, but he didn't know how to do it himself. He called to tell me that he was using the materials from our Chinese Mingding Doctrine.

Our materials are free to use. In fact, some platforms have copied our content, but it doesn't matter. That is to say, do we, brothers and sisters, have the heart to bless this era today, so that this era will be blessed because of us? We must understand what God values, what must be done, which truths are important, and which are not. The Chinese Mingding Doctrine is a system; establish it as the most important truth, and then rank everything else below it. Some things are mint and anise, so they are at the level of mint and anise; building the church and building the body of Jesus Christ are at the level of the body of Jesus Christ. Do you all understand this?

Hypocrites Are Filled with Their Own Core Interests

Hypocrites are filled with their own core interests. I can only talk about the reasons for hypocrisy based on the phenomena because I don't know the real reasons behind their hypocrisy, so there is no conclusion. One thing has always puzzled me, and I'm afraid people are being deceived. Someone bought half of a property from an old pastor, with the pastor keeping half. I was very concerned and told him that the procedures must be completed properly and that the property must have his name on it. Otherwise, he would pay for nothing.

My concern later became a reality. After paying, the pastor's name was not added to the property certificate. While I was worried about him and said that his salary at the church should be raised, someone told me that his son had bought a big house at the same time, and he himself had bought a car. Now there was no need to raise his salary; he bought a house worth over a million so easily. Where did all this money come from? These things put together are very intriguing. I can tell you that people are filled with their own core interests, and fame and fortune kill people; they are all things of this life.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people's bones and all uncleanness. So also you outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. (Matthew 23:27-28)

Everyone should know for sure that the only core interest promoted by the Chinese Mingding Doctrine is God. God is our core interest, and we must walk in God's will. Because the gate of the kingdom of heaven is open, our resources all come from God. The core interests in the hearts of hypocrites are all about their own lives, just like the outside of a tomb is decorated, but the inside is full of dead people's bones, running towards death. In fact, when people think and act like this, they have become enemies of God, that is, opposing God. No matter if God sends His prophets or Jesus, they will still kill them and will not hesitate to nail Jesus to the cross again.

Hypocrites Are Very Confident

The confidence of hypocrites lies in believing that they will not kill prophets. In fact, they are killing prophets every day without knowing it. Many people don't know and think that everyone's logic is the same as theirs, that everyone thinks that believing in the Lord means going to heaven. I think it's going to hell. If the Chinese Mingding Doctrine is still very confident, we are the same as them. But today, the Chinese Mingding Doctrine is very unconfident because we often think we are wrong, often examining ourselves to see if our core interest is not God? We also often feel that we have not read the Bible correctly, that we have not understood that passage. At this time, we must pray to God, God, may you reveal to us!

If you are not too confident, there is still a chance. But if you are a hypocrite to a certain degree, you will be very confident, perhaps not even knowing that you are blindly confident. In any case, we must not fall into this pit. Are the things inside us something we can bring to the table and say, This is my idea? If you can't say it, it's because it's shameful to say it, until you can't say it because people know that you are filled with dead people's bones. It's just that you become very confident as you talk.

Hypocrisy Will Surely Be Judged by God

Truly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation. (Matthew 23:36)

This is not saying that it will come upon others; it will all come upon these hypocrites. These hypocrites will bear the punishment for sin. Sin is what comes from the set of things we are born with. Don't think that people don't know; even the dogs on the street know, not to mention God and the demons. Once a person lives in this state, the demons will surely attack you because that is God's will. The demons are to complete the work of God's judgment.

I can give many examples of being judged, even though many people will feel uncomfortable hearing them. A pastor brought a cancer patient from his church to me, first praising me for being particularly anointed in healing and deliverance, and preparing to outsource all the healing and deliverance to me. He thought I didn't know he was playing games. When you get to this point, you slowly ponder how I responded. I said there was no problem blessing a cancer patient, but the bad habits on a cancer patient are very deep. He immediately retorted, saying that this sister loves the Lord very much.

Then how can loving the Lord lead to cancer? He said that this sister always comes to the meeting first and is very enthusiastic about spreading the gospel. I didn't argue with him because we know that the demons on cancer patients are working in people, which is the result of people's sins reaching the extreme. I said that since he is this sister's pastor, I will minister to her for one hour, and the pastor can accompany us for one hour. This pastor refused directly, saying that he didn't have time. This is obviously fake, but I am playing it for real. Both this cancer patient and her pastor are a tragedy. I know now that the time has not yet come, but God will surely judge them in any case.

I also ministered to a pastor from a large church who had a brain tumor. At that time, I was just a pastor of a small church, and their members numbered in the thousands. I asked this pastor why he had a brain tumor, and he started talking nonsense. He said that we pastors work very hard, only resting one day a week, and even that is not enough; he wants to rest two days. In fact, some people work in this world without resting even one day, and they still come to church on Sunday to give money. This pastor felt that his church had many small groups, and he had to manage a dozen group leaders, and the group leaders were replaced every few years, so he had to rearrange and follow up with them, which made him so tired that he got a brain tumor. This sounds strange. How can a person who is zealous and loves God serve God and get a brain tumor from doing so little work? It's because he did it unwillingly, felt that he was paying too much of a price, that resting one day a week was not enough, and that serving so many people was very hard, which led to a complaining voice inside, feeling that it was a chore, which is why he got a brain tumor.

So this judgment will surely come upon this generation. Everyone must remove the confusion within Christians. Don't look at people from the outside. God will not get it wrong, and the demons will not get it wrong. If this matter were up to me, I would not get it wrong either. Everyone should gradually understand that God's judgment is very strict, and it starts from His own house. How much more will it be for the offspring of vipers? A sick sister from another church came to us, and I asked her why she didn't seek prayer from her own pastor and church. She said that her pastor had gone to a healing and deliverance conference and that they only minister to those outside the church, not those inside. Their healing and deliverance is only for outsiders, not insiders, which sounds very strange. Isn't that forcing church members to leave the church if they get sick, so that they can become outsiders and receive ministry?

Later, a pastor said that their prayers for healing within the church don't work, but once they are invited out to pray for others, their prayers work. Is this the legendary the monks from afar can chant scriptures better? It turns out that he can't deceive people in his own church because everyone there knows what kind of person he is. Suddenly, he goes to a strange place where people don't know who he is and treat him like a master. In reality, it is their own faith that saves them.

A pastor's ministry doesn't work for the brothers and sisters in his own church, but it works when he ministers to strangers? The Chinese Mingding Doctrine doesn't have these things. Prayer works whether it's for insiders or outsiders. It's not those things that can be packaged on the outside but are a naked run inside the church and don't work. That's because everyone is tired of hearing the sermons he preaches on the platform. I hope everyone doesn't say they are tired of hearing what I preach because I am doing in-depth research every day.

God is going to judge this generation. These examples are given only to illustrate the seriousness of hypocrisy. We want to bring about a change. If you are a pastor or a church worker, don't come and argue after listening to today's sharing, as if you are the only one who is right. In fact, I am not completely right either; I am just working hard to move in the right direction. In any case, we should bless one person if we can bless one person, and bless two people if we can bless two people, as long as they can listen and know that they are wrong. We need to let go of this mask and become a pastor like Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul again, with no complaints inside, only a willing and joyful service. This is also my choice.

Conclusion

The change of the new era is no longer questioning whether people can be like Jesus, but each of us must be like Jesus. Because this is God's will. God wants to raise up our Chinese Mingding Doctrine in this generation, and many people will become like Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul because the gate of the kingdom of heaven has been opened for us. Amen!

May God bless everyone!
