I. Introduction

Good day to all! Today, I would like to share a paper with you. Over the past years, I have been pondering how to make people smarter. I have been deeply moved by the fact that I haven't been able to fully understand or figure it out. Today, it seems that I have made a breakthrough in how to make people smarter. It is incredibly meaningful and wonderful to study how to make people smarter. If we could thoroughly research this and enable people to become smarter, ah! I tell you, the world needs it so much. Today's topic is Seeking to Establish Their Own Righteousness, They Do Not Submit to God's Righteousness.

Later, I discovered that I had actually spoken on this topic two years ago. At that time, I was going through a battle. I stopped for more than two years, and now I find this topic to be excellent again. How do people become foolish? If you want to make people smarter, you must study how people become foolish. How do children become foolish? There is a mother among us who brought her child. When this child was six years old, he knew that one plus one equals two, and two plus three equals five. After ten years of schooling, what happened? Two plus three equals eight. I said, How did the teacher teach this? When this child was six years old, looking at his photo, he was a very shrewd child. After more than ten years, alas, he looks a little off. Do you know what a little off looks like? Thick lips, wide cheeks, something like that.

So I was thinking, how did people become foolish? Later, I discovered that there is a force within people, a very interesting force. As I speak, you should reflect on whether you have it within you. This child was hurt in school. The teacher said, You are a person with learning disabilities. As a result, this child thought, I am a person with learning disabilities? I will prove you wrong! He clenched his little fist. Do you know that feeling? You must have had such experiences in your childhood, gritting your teeth to prove something to others. As a result, as soon as you try to prove it, it's over. You don't even know that two plus three equals five. All you learned in school during those years was how to become foolish.

I tell you all, never outsource your child's education to the school. If your child is like me, the school cannot ruin him because he learns on his own. If your child is not like me, with poor self-learning ability, and then he is very competitive in school, and the parents often compare him with other children. Ah! I tell you, this child suffers from a young age, and you ruin him. There is a term called other people's children. I was that other people's child from a young age.

I had a classmate whose parents were principals of different schools. His parents were always troubled by this son, pointing at me and saying to their son, Look at him, his parents are both workers, and he can study so well. Look at how you are studying. Alas! The child is hurt, living in frustration. Then he clenches his little fist, thinking, I will prove you wrong! As soon as he tries to prove it, it's over. As soon as he tries to establish his own righteousness, he proves his own foolishness. That competitive spirit within people! Parents among us, have you noticed that your children are like this? If so, you need to change. Remember, this child becomes bad. On the one hand, the child himself really doesn't know; on the other hand, the school teacher strikes him, the parents strike him, and then billions of feet trample on him. Heavens! How can he turn over? That's how children become foolish.

From now on, stop trying to prove yourself. I tell you, how do people become smarter? People become smarter by believing in God. With faith, you can become smarter. Recently, I discovered that I have had a breakthrough, so I am going to talk about this topic again. A colleague was working with me, and I noticed that he seemed to have become smarter recently. He could see the problems and knew what was being done wrong. You know, it used to be difficult for him not to make mistakes. He would always make mistakes, which was strange. I said, How did you get it right? He said, Teacher, you don't know. Before, I was determined, clenching my fist to prove myself to you. As soon as I tried to prove it, I would make mistakes. Now I don't want to prove myself anymore. I have already proven myself to be a very bad person. Now I just want to focus on doing this thing well. It used to be so painful, and the muscles on my face were distorted.

Think about it, as soon as you do something, you do it wrong, and you get scolded. Then you become determined to prove yourself. As soon as you try to prove it, you make another mistake and get scolded again. He has changed recently. So that's how it changes! Then I have to give a lecture on a topic called Seeking to Establish Their Own Righteousness, They Do Not Submit to God's Righteousness. That's the matter. From now on, no longer establish your own righteousness; no longer speak your own reasons; no longer make excuses; no longer look for objective reasons. Just believe that God is the God who helps me, and this matter will surely be overcome, and it will surely be done right. Then focus on doing this matter right.

I am a very patient person, and I am also a person of faith. I have worked hard for so many years. You know, I see every brother and sister in the faith as shining gold! If you are gold, you will shine wherever you are. Are you shining? Yes, you are shining. So later I thought, Ah, I am also quite powerful! Wanting to prove yourself is an evil spirit, wanting to explain is an evil spirit. As soon as you try to prove it, you end up proving your own foolishness. Why? This is the work of the evil spirit; it is a spiritual principle. Spiritual principles cannot be violated. As soon as a person wants to prove himself, he later discovers that God is working against him. Because that thing is hostile to God, it does not submit to God's righteousness. To set your mind on the flesh is death, but to set your mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

Some children have been competitive with their parents since they were young. Have you noticed some children among us who like to compete with their parents? I may be talking about you. How do you compete with your parents? When applying to universities in Northeast China, the parents say, Which university do you want to apply to? He says, I want to apply to a university in Hainan Island. I just want to go to Hainan Island. The parents say, What are you doing going so far away? He says, I want to stay far away from you. It's as if the parents owe him a debt. Isn't this courting death? Some children compete with their parents, and as soon as they compete, they marry the wrong person. They say, I want to build my own home! As a result, they marry the wrong person. This thing cannot be returned. How can it be returned?

In other words, a person who establishes his own righteousness establishes foolishness. A person who wants to prove himself proves an evil spirit. The evil spirit comes, and then he becomes a foolish person. Do you want to become smarter? If you want to become smarter, quickly grasp this spiritual principle and put your energy into doing things right. Don't do this or that. You know, I am not good, but my God is good. In other words, don't put your energy into competing with others. Put your energy into doing things right. Some people just want to save face. As soon as they do something, they don't do it right, and then they find a lot of reasons. Not only do they do it wrong, but they also come up with a lot of reasons to explain why it was wrong. As a result, they explain and explain, and they deceive themselves. They don't even know if what they are explaining is right. Don't compete with people. Do things right. Saving face is a very evil thing.

So later, when I was studying this matter, I discovered something very interesting. It is useless to just tell people great principles. You have to lead them to do some engineering work. You know, engineering things are simple. Engineering things are not a matter of the public says the public is right, and the婆婆says the 婆婆 is right. Everyone has a reason. But if you don't do the engineering thing right, it won't work. If you don't do it right, the car won't drive; if you don't do it right, the plane won't fly; if you don't do it right, the bench will collapse when you sit on it; if you don't do it right, the table can't be used. Engineering is a very good tool.

Later, I studied this thing, and there are quite a few cases. I discovered that some people are liberal arts students. Liberal arts students have no engineering foundation, no logical thinking. It's all feelings. For example, writing an essay, like Zhu Ziqing's essays, Lao She's novels, the entire Tang poetry, frustrated talents, expressing emotions, it's all this stuff. It's all this stuff, and it's ruined. As soon as they write, it's always about frustrated talents; as soon as they write, it's always about complaining. They learn a lot of complaining. More than half of the poems in Three Hundred Tang Poems are about complaining and expressing emotions, which people like. Later, I discovered that this thing is not good because it lacks logical thinking and is logically chaotic. You know, people who study liberal arts never doubt their feelings. Isn't it bad if they don't doubt their feelings? Because that thing can't be proven, so there is no logic, no system.

Engineering things are different. I will give you an account, and give a small advertisement at the same time. A few days ago, someone came to learn hands-on skills from me. As soon as I said it, his face looked a little unsightly. I said, What's wrong? He said, Teacher, I spent 200,000 yuan to renovate a house last year. The person you are talking about is me. Do you know what I said? People who have spent money to renovate a house will feel uncomfortable after listening to what I said. I will give you an account. This house cost 200,000 yuan to renovate. I ask you, how many years will it take you to save 200,000 yuan? Some say six years, eight years, ten years. Then you spent ten years saving 200,000 yuan and gave it to others. You worked hard for nothing for ten years, and you put all the money you saved in ten years on the walls of your house. I ask you, how many decades do you have in your life?

If I renovate it myself? I renovate it myself, and I work for three months. Actually, I tell you all, I can probably do a 100-square-meter house in one month. Then during this period, I take some vacation, and I do it when I have nothing to do. I probably spend two months. If I am more leisurely, I probably spend three months. So I did ten years of work in three months. Isn't that good? Don't think I am great. I have a clear understanding of accounts. If I want to do something, I will make you feel that this thing is very simple. Actually, there is nothing to it. Do you think I saved a lot of money?

The hardware seller said, What are you going to do? I said, I want to do it myself. He said, What are you doing? You are not leaving us a way to live. I said, He has to leave me a way to live. I give him 200,000 yuan, and he lives, but how do I live? I do it myself, spending 10,000, 20,000, or 30,000 yuan. Are you interested in learning? If you are interested in learning, I will teach you. I have invented a series of simple methods. I renovate this 100-square-meter house for 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. Even with a bed, sofa, air conditioner, and toilet, this is called self-renovation advertisement. I did ten years of work in three months. Is there a problem? No problem. Really cost-effective, and I become smarter. I don't have to save that 200,000 yuan for the rest of my life. This is a way to become smarter. Of course, if people have money to burn, then burn it hard. If we don't have money to burn, we become smarter.

How much money do you think I can spend in my life? Renovation contractors don't earn my money; software developers don't earn my money; hospitals can't earn my money; schools can't earn my money. I don't buy that school district house either. There is a bowl of noodles for nine yuan downstairs and a bowl of hot, dry noodles for seven yuan. How much money do you think I can spend? Do you want to be such a great person? It doesn't take much money. What do you love money for? The more money you don't have, the more you love money. The more you love money, the less money you have, and then you become foolish. I saved the big expenses. How much money do you need for the rest of your life?

What is the way to become smarter? It is to often ask yourself, am I doing this right? I let others renovate my own house, and I give them 200,000 yuan. Am I doing this right? Buying a house is inevitable. You have to buy it. How much is one square meter? Leave it at that. But buying a house is an asset. What can you do by putting money on the walls? This account can be calculated. If it costs 200,000 yuan to renovate a house, we can renovate it ourselves for about one-sixth of the price, more than 30,000 yuan. I tell you, if you let others renovate it, they will find fault. We don't do that. We renovate it ourselves. If the wall is not so flat, we can still use it. Often ask yourself, am I giving others 200,000 yuan right? Am I teaching my children right? You must often ask yourself. I tell you all, what I ask myself most often is: Is this right? Am I doing this right? This is what I say most often. Why do I do things very quickly? Because I do it right.

The issue of faith is key. Like you say, Ah, teacher is so great, but I can't. Why can't you? It doesn't matter if you can't. I can. Some people say, Teacher, can you talk about your story of rags to riches? I don't think this sounds right. I haven't been a loser. Can't I still serve losers? Some people say, Ah, teacher, you haven't been a loser. How can you understand us losers? I said, I am not a loser. I am the one who makes losers successful. You may not know how to do self-renovation, but I can still teach you. I have figured it out, and I have studied a set of logic for self-renovation. Everything is simplified. We can do the electricity and water ourselves. The things I do are simple. Have you noticed that my theology is very simple? Some people say, Becoming smarter is so simple? Simple. I've done it really well!

You must have faith in God, because when I do these things, I start learning from scratch. If I don't know how to do it, I start learning. After learning, I start improving it. I improve one version and then improve another version. Until today, I discovered that I can teach you all this. Always remember one thing: Don't think you have done it right. You say, Teacher, what you said has taken away my faith. No, that's not true. My faith is: I didn't do it right in the past, but I will definitely do it right in the future. You must understand.

Look, you save money, and your skills also increase. Later, in your family, they will all think, How is this kid so amazing? Then you can brag to others about how much money you saved. Then he will say, I just spent 200,000 yuan. He is a fool! What happens as a result? He is shorter than you. Later, he may come to you and say, Teach me. So your status in the family will be elevated, and then you will be a person who can bless them in the family. Why? You have helped them save a lot of money. This is a spiritual law.

A person who has faith, although he may not do it right today or tomorrow, believes that one day he will do it right. This is our faith. It is not that he didn't do it right, but he believes that he has already done it right. That is a fool. What kind of brain is that? So don't try to establish your own righteousness. Don't try to prove that you have already done it right. Even if you have done it right, there is something even more right. We are striving to pursue. Always wanting to prove that you have done it right, in order to maintain your own face, the result is that you are doing it more and more foolishly.

In this world, there are not many people who can understand the Book of Romans. I have read a lot of materials related to the Book of Romans. Our Book of Romans explanation is very good. Why? Because I always feel that I have not done it right, so I work very hard to do it right. I explain the Book of Romans clearly. But I tell you, if I explain the Book of Romans again in five years, it will definitely be the next version. The name of the book I consulted for the Book of Romans is This Gospel Is the Power of God.

II. Scripture

Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes. (Romans 10:1-4)

III. Prayer

God, today pour out Your Holy Spirit upon us, let this Holy Spirit fill us, let all the worldly logic systems within us be demolished, and the Godly ones be re-established. God, let us be a new creation, let us be filled with wisdom and knowledge from You. God, today we will seek Your kingdom and seek Your righteousness. God, today we will no longer establish our own righteousness, no longer be hostile to God, give us wisdom and cleverness. God, help us, let us be able to understand Your words, not only be zealous for You, but also according to true knowledge. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

IV. Scripture Background

The Romans established a church in Rome. Rome is probably like a first-tier city like New York in the United States today. Many people went to Rome and established a church. I guess that later, Christians came from Asia, from various places around, and the Romans called them bumpkins. Don't think they are Christians, they won't do this. In other words, the Christians in that place in Rome encountered a lot of confusion. When they encountered a lot of confusion, who did they turn to? Sometimes prayer works, sometimes prayer doesn't work, sometimes it's like this, sometimes it's like that. The voices are very chaotic. After reading Galatians, they read James, and the whole person is confused.

So these people in the Roman church at that time tried to bring these questions to Paul. However, the church in Rome was not established by Paul. Who established it? It was established by a group of Christians that Peter brought in Jerusalem. Because at that time, many Christians in the Jerusalem church were smitten, so they ran to various places. Some people ran to Rome and established a Christian church in Rome. So the Christian church in Rome was filled with all kinds of confusion. The most deadly of which was the law. Why? Because James, the brother of Jesus Christ, highly admired the law and said that faith without works is dead. Jesus never said this, Paul never said this. That was said by Jesus' brother, and Jesus' brother is too far off. It's like there are two brothers in the family. The eldest one went to a famous university, and the second one didn't get in. If there are many brothers and sisters in the family, there is everything.

So the issue of law and the issue of faith have been troubling the Romans. The church in that place in Rome was very hard, asking this question. So in the end, Paul wrote this Book of Romans. When you read Romans, you have to know why Paul wrote it to the brothers and sisters in that place in the Roman church? Because they had turned a powerful gospel into a powerless one. Why was it powerless? Because there were too many confusions within them, and many things were not things of faith. It's like among us, when answering questions, people sometimes ask this kind of behavioral question, and it's all messed up. So the church in this place in Rome began to lose the power of this gospel. So Paul said at the beginning of the Book of Romans:

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. (Romans 1:16)

Look how well this is said. Originally, it was not discussing the issue of justification by faith, but the issue of the power of this gospel. Many people talk about justification by faith. Are they justified? In the end, they looked at it and still didn't have the power of God. So this matter is written in the tenth chapter of Romans, which says that faith is actually a very simple matter, but it has been made extremely complicated by the people in this place in Rome who like to speculate. Even today's church, there are still a lot of people who like to speculate. There are far more people who like to speculate than people who like faith. Why? After speculating, they reason left and right, and the more they reason, the more complicated it becomes. After listening, they are暈了.

In the early years, there was a very famous pastor who wrote a lot of books. I spent a lot of money to buy his entire set, a total of more than thirty books. But today I am powerful, and I have written more than one hundred books. Actually, I didn't have much money at that time, but I made up my mind to pursue it. I bought it back and read it, and after reading it, I was stunned. I didn't know what he was talking about. I was thinking, how can I not understand what he wrote? Then I continued to read, and finally I understood one thing: he didn't write it clearly. Can I understand it? He made this matter extremely complicated. For example, the Trinity. Is it three heads and one body, or three bodies and one head? The more he talks about it, the more chaotic it becomes. Actually, this matter is not that complicated. It is in your heart, in your mouth, it is just a simple thing of faith. Why is it so difficult?

So the prophet Isaiah said: Who has believed our message? No one believed, preferring complexity. I do not know if there are such people among us, but I have seen many such people. What kind of people? After the pastor finished speaking, they applauded. I said: Applaud? They said: Yes, he spoke very well. I said: How do you know he spoke very well? They said: Because I can't understand what he said, so it is very profound and very powerful. You are happy that you didn't understand? Then I will speak in a way that you can understand. Why don't you applaud if you understand? I think what is this logic? The brain doesn't work well. Not understanding is good, ignorance!

There are too many ignorant things, so you say how difficult it is for me to try hard to make everyone smarter? It is to talk a lot that everyone does not understand, and then everyone thinks it is good. In fact, the Trinity is not really mentioned in the Bible. They made up this word themselves. Jesus did not say it, and Paul did not say it. Really not many of them can explain the Trinity clearly. Because when I went to study theology, when the Trinity was mentioned, I asked a question, and the professor glared at me because he couldn't answer it. I asked: Is it one head and three bodies, or three heads and one body? He couldn't answer. You don't know either, so what are you talking about? I hate people who pretend to understand when they don't.

So this matter is very simple, where is it simple? Faith! Because nothing can be accomplished by relying on human flesh, only by relying on the power of God. Why did they lose the power of God and still think that what they believe in is orthodox? This is a very evil logic. They have turned the powerful gospel into a powerless gospel, and still think they are orthodox, what a bunch of useless people! So only faith can draw on the power of God, draw on God's promises, and then begin with faith and lead to faith. That's all there is to it.

So the theme of Romans is: This gospel is the power of God. This faith begins with faith and leads to faith. Today, our brothers and sisters must know that the Israelites did not understand the Bible, and they talk about the law all day long. There is a very famous pastor named David Pawson who said that the book of James was written a bit chaotically, so I said it was written blindly. He didn't understand the law either. If he understood it, the summary of the law is Christ. He talks about the law all day long, but he doesn't know that the law is Christ, then he is a fool. Behind this is a very evil power of darkness. Don't make this thing complicated again. This thing is in your heart and in your mouth.

> Because with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you profess your faith and are saved. (Romans 10:10)

So today, brothers and sisters, you must know that Chinese Mingding Destiny has a very unique thing, which is to simplify things. What Paul sorted out was very simple, unlike these people who made it so complicated, because the summary of the law is Christ, and then all who believe in Him will be justified. It is not that you are great, but that God is great; it is not that you are a loser who has made a comeback, but that God has made you, a loser, to make a comeback, isn't that simple.

## Five. The History of the Israelites is the History of Establishing Their Own Righteousness

The history of the Israelites is very interesting. God said: Jeroboam, I will make you a king. As a result, after becoming king, Jeroboam began to think: What should I do with the sacrifices? Then he made two golden calves. As a result, he was fooled by his own set of logic and established his own righteousness. What does it mean? It means that he has his own set of logic in his head, and he does not believe in God's logic. In fact, I tell you, those who establish their own righteousness do not obey God's righteousness, because they think that things should be done this way. Once they do it, they do it wrong. As a result, the kingdom of Israel was destroyed.

Later, there was a man named Jehu. God raised up Jehu, and Jehu killed King Ahab and Jezebel. As a result, Jehu established his own righteousness and followed the ways of Jeroboam. Why? Because they did not know the power of God, did not know the word of God, and did not know God. If our faith is based on the power of God, what is human logic? Human logic should be thrown into the trash can. As a result, they made their own set. I ask you, if you haven't understood the Bible, and you make your own set, what will it become? Do they read the law? They read it. Did they understand it? They didn't understand it, but they thought they understood it.

They don't believe it, they don't believe it from beginning to end. In fact, the summary of the law is Christ, and the law initially speaks of faith. Everyone must know that Jehu, Jeroboam, and the later kings of Israel all followed this path. Why? The reason is very simple, according to their own understanding. So if you follow your own understanding, not according to the word of God, then aren't you a fool? Does this person have to invent something? If the Trinity is so important, Jesus would have said it long ago. What Jesus said was to baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and that was it.

That's what the Bible says, but they have to make up a Trinity. What is the Trinity? This word is strange. So if people want to establish their own righteousness, they will not obey God's righteousness. I tell you, I read a book called The True God of the Trinity. After reading it, I found that he didn't write it clearly. How could I understand it? Today, brothers and sisters, don't take your own path again. That's called going your own way. People have a logical system in their heads since they were born, and then when they read the word of God, they pick and choose what to believe. They don't accept the word of God, so they don't believe it; they can accept it, so they believe it. This is called picking and choosing what to believe. As a result, it doesn't become a system, and it mixes with the stuff in their heads.

In Northeast China, it's called hot pot stew, you can put anything in it. You say what do you want? Pork? Okay. Beef? Okay. Fish? Okay. Cabbage, radish, potatoes are all okay. You can put anything in it. What kind of dish is this? It's called a random stew. I think our days of random stewing are going to pass. We have to get rid of the logical system in our heads. What we have is called establishing our own righteousness. We talk about our own logic, and we establish our own righteousness. As a result, evil spirits come and destroy you. The history of the Israelites is the history of establishing their own righteousness. As a result, it is a tragedy!

## Six. The History of the Church is Also the History of Establishing Its Own Righteousness

The history of the church is also like this. People are born carnal. Do Roman Christians think that they are not carnal in first-tier cities? Even in zero-tier cities, they are all carnal. First-tier and second-tier cities are the same. Rome is a first-tier city, but it is also carnal. After carnal people believe in the Lord in Rome, there are those who come from Australia and call them hicks; those who come from New Zealand and call them hicks; those who come from China and call them hicks. China is backward and cannot afford to eat meat. No matter where they are, people are born naturally carnal. As a result, if the church follows the flesh, it will follow a history of establishing its own righteousness.

Until today, when I see an opportunity, I will take out Paul's letters again, and take out Romans, so that people will no longer establish their own righteousness. Why? Because if you establish your own righteousness, you are either a fool or a fool. The reason is very clear: those who set their minds on the flesh are dead, and people cannot conform to the customs of this world, cannot set their minds on their own flesh, and reap corruption from following the flesh, and reap eternal life from following the Spirit. So Romans discusses the problem of the flesh in great detail in chapters six, seven, and eight. This is the root of stupidity. What do you say people rely on naturally? They barely rely on maintaining an appearance of being alive. So it is constantly being torn down. What about those that are not torn down? They have established their own righteousness. So the church has followed a history of establishing its own righteousness.

The history of the Israelites and the history of the church are simply the same. Think about it, in the Old Testament, Israel angered God and drove Him away. God had already left His own temple, and God also destroyed His own temple, and was very angry. In the New Testament, the church angered God, established its own righteousness, and did not obey God's righteousness. As a result, people boast when they do well, and they are dejected when they do not do well. Have you noticed this? So today I have to tell everyone to become smarter and not establish their own righteousness again.

## Seven. Remove the Bad Habit of Establishing Your Own Righteousness

Why do we want to establish our own righteousness? That's so face-saving. If you love face, you can't not establish your own righteousness. If someone punctures your mask, you will be hurt. Why? If you establish your own righteousness, how can you not be hurt? Some people ask me: Teacher, why do you still have this problem? I said: Hey, I am a model of a sinner. I am a sinner, is there a problem? There is no problem, and people don't argue with me anymore. Then people say: You also have demons on you? I said: Isn't it normal for me to have demons on me? If you have to say: I don't have them on me, and the one in me is greater than the one outside. You have cancer, what are you still great about? As a result, he said: That cancer is a disease.

I have found that people are sometimes very strange, that they would rather suffer a lot of sins than establish their own righteousness. If you establish your own righteousness, you will not obey God's righteousness, and God will send a demon to mess with you. Have you seen anyone who doesn't like to talk about their own logic? As the saying goes: Everyone has their own reasons. Mothers and daughters, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, all talk very logically. It is difficult for an upright official to settle family affairs. Even if Solomon were alive, he would not be able to solve this problem for you unless you remove the bad habit of establishing your own righteousness.

Some time ago, I served people with thumb tenosynovitis. Every one of them loved to talk about their own logic. What can I do? Then you will suffer. As they talked, their eyes became blurry; as they talked, they became dizzy. It's all this, and you can't touch them, you'll freak out if you touch them. So today we have to break that evil spirit of ours. I tell you, we have made great breakthroughs recently. The people I serve personally said to me: Teacher, I now understand that evil spirit of mine. Why do they understand? They began to use the word of God to shine on it, and they no longer talk about their own righteousness, but began to establish God's righteousness. So people like me have less pressure. Why? I can't do it, if I can't do it, then so be it. What do you want me to do? I am still growing.

Some people are very bad. They say: Pastor, you said this five years ago, and you said that five years later, which one is right? Oh, a challenge is coming, they are here to challenge the gym. Hey, do you think I can't answer? I can answer. I said: I have grown. At that time, I was standing at that height, and now I am standing at a different height. This question is simple to answer, so you generally can't stump me. I don't love face, I don't establish my own righteousness, I can't do it, if I can't do it, then so be it, but I am still learning. They were so angry that they thought I couldn't answer, but I answered very well.

How do people become stupid? They become stupid by establishing their own righteousness. I often say some things that sound very harsh. Whether you can poop doesn't count, whether you can control your urine doesn't count, what else can you do? My words are a bit mean. You can't even control your urine, what else can you do? You are still establishing your own righteousness? Stop talking about your own logic, if you can't do it, then so be it. I can't do it, can you do it? We can't do it, we all have to trust in God. Face is not important. We are sinners. Focus on doing things right, don't argue about these things, just focus on doing things right.

## Eight. Trusting God is a Very Simple Thing

> But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:6-7)

You don't say in your heart, which means you don't say there: I have to help God. Trusting God is a very simple thing. It is not you helping God, but God helping you.

> But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:8-9)

Since people can be resurrected from the dead, there is nothing impossible for God. So in God's dictionary, there is no impossible, everything is possible.

> For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. (Romans 10:10)

What is justification? Once you believe in your heart, demons are illegal in your body. Why? Because Jesus has been crucified for us, shed blood for us, and resurrected from the dead for us. All authority in heaven, on earth, and under the earth belongs to my Lord Jesus Christ. So how wonderful it is to build God's glorious church today! Is trusting God simple? This word is not far from you, it is in your mouth, it is in your heart, where are you going to find it? Some people say: Oh, it's so complicated. In fact, it is a very simple thing.

For example, self-decoration. Self-decoration is a very simple thing, no calculus, just addition and subtraction. Now things are very simple. The other day they bought me those pipe fittings for water pipes. In the past, water pipes had to be welded and wrapped with tape. Now water pipes, whether they are curved, T-shaped, or straight, just click them in and that's it. I said this invention is good, it's getting simpler and simpler.

Believe in your heart, confess with your mouth, believe in your heart that Jesus Christ rose from the dead, and manifested that He is the Son of God with great power. The original intention of God is to enable us to overcome these things, and also like Jesus Christ resurrected from the dead, may the power of Jesus Christ resurrected from the dead be manifested in you and me. A small cold, a small fever, a sore throat, what is that? It's nothing. I can't do it, that's okay, but don't say that God can't do it either. Many people say: I can't do it, who can do it? He thinks he is the most powerful, the best in the world? If you can't do it even if you are the best in the world, what are you doing? I can't do it, but God can do it, this is the declaration of faith!

For example, some people say: I don't have time, I am very busy. Who said that? There is time. When doing work, they screw up or abandon the work. Why? It wasn't screwed up, it was abandoned. And I am too embarrassed to say that you value your work too much. I just say: Actually, you also want to do things well, don't you? He said: Yes, the teacher understands me too well. I thought to myself: What do I understand about you? I just know how to say it, and I just want to build up your faith. Actually, you do want to do things well, but you just don't believe that you can do this thing well. So as you work, you lose it. Why? Too many things. Some people say that their heads are chaotic. Why are they chaotic? Because you are establishing your own righteousness all day long. Demons would feel like they are losing out if they don't come to you. How can you not be chaotic?

Choose to believe in God, there is nothing impossible for God. I tell you, what is the state of believing in God? If it can't be solved today, it can be solved tomorrow; if it can't be solved tomorrow, it can be solved the day after tomorrow, and one day I can overcome this difficulty. Do you have this faith now? Today, brothers and sisters, you must begin to know one thing, those who trust in God will never be ashamed! If you trust today, trust tomorrow, and then trust, you will become a very characterful person. You become a very characterful person, you are a person who practices faith. You have practiced faith, and you say: Wow, it works! I am a person who practices faith, and when I practice it, it definitely works. A fractured bone is healed with prayer; a twisted waist is healed with prayer; a bad throat is healed with prayer; blind eyes are healed with prayer. You hear me say that it is healed with prayer, that took nine months, do you think so?

Faith can move mountains, and faith can manifest the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection in us! And after we practice it, it is really good, so good! If you become a person who practices faith, you will definitely live a very wonderful life, and God wants to help such people. God will become your rock, and even in the days of disaster, God will surely reign! Do you want to be such a person? If you practice faith, then you are awesome. I tell you, then you will become someone who proclaims the gospel and brings good news, how beautiful are your feet!

## Nine. How Beautiful are the Feet of Those Who Proclaim the Gospel and Bring Good News

We are not talking about the Trinity there, and then asking you to explain it, and you can't explain it clearly. Today we are talking about how the summary of the law is our Jesus Christ, and the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection follows us because of your faith and my faith. The blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the dead are raised from the dead. What Jesus did, I will also do. Today I am proclaiming the gospel, I am bringing good news, I am talking about the God of healing, the God of blessing, how beautiful are these feet! When people encounter problems that cannot be solved, there is God, and God can solve them. People in despair must see hope, because the power that God used to raise Jesus Christ from the dead accompanies us, and the demons tremble when they hear it. We will not allow anything to take away the faith within us, and our lives will be so wonderful!

Today, in my faith, I have seen that Chinese Mingding Destiny will blossom and bear fruit everywhere and become a blessing to many people! All over the world, no matter how difficult that place is, or how hard that gospel land is, by faith, in Jesus Christ, we have obtained this land for God. God will surely lead us to build His glorious church. This is a Christian transformation, and no one can stop it, because this is God's work, and God will manifest His glory in this generation. Amen!

Let us sing a hymn to prepare to receive today's offering. If you do not understand the meaning of offering, please do not offer. Have such hope, and constantly shape yourself with such hope, to become a shepherd, to win people like catching fish. Begin to declare in every place in this world that God is the God who helps me, God is the God who loves me, God is the wonderful God!

There was a person whose three small bones on the back of his foot were fractured. I prayed, the swelling went down, and his foot was immediately healed. Later, the X-ray showed that the bones were still broken, but he had no problem walking at all. The miracles I perform are hard for doctors to believe, because I am a person of faith. From now on, I will no longer say: I am very busy. No, by relying on God, I will be calm and peaceful, and wherever I go, I will be proclaiming the gospel and bringing good news. When people see it, they will have hope and hope. Preach as you go, and miracles will follow you. You will become the hope of many people, because you carry the power of Jesus Christ resurrected from the dead. In the days to come, the foolish will become wise, and the foolish will no longer establish their own righteousness, but will become wise.

Raise your hands and pray with me: In the name of Jesus Christ, I invite the Holy Spirit to fill me, to remove those worldly logical systems within me, and to remove those carnal logical systems within me. God, come and help tear it down, so that I can become a new creation. God, may You raise me up among the nations to become one who proclaims the gospel and brings good news. God, raise me up, so that wherever I go, You will be with me, and I will become a person with destiny. God, remove the three words impossible from within me, so that my work will become efficient and my time will become abundant. In the name of Jesus Christ, I will be a person of faith, and I will be a person with destiny. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen! I am a little excited, but God really wants to raise you up, and miracles will follow you, what a wonderful grace. Amen!

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for the kingdom, the power, and the glory are Yours, now and forever. Amen!

May God bless you all!
