Understanding the Spiritual Realm is Key to Our Lives

The second lesson is about the platform for fulfilling one's Mingding Destiny. The first lesson was about entering into Mingding Destiny—coming out of a life of emptiness and entering into the blessings of Mingding Destiny. When discussing entering into the blessings of Mingding Destiny, the biblical figures of Abraham and Lot, and Esau and Jacob, present stark contrasts. Today, we must understand that a good life is one lived correctly; a bad life is one lived wrongly. Never think that one's life is destined to be a certain way; that is not the case. The image one presents in life is the result of their own choices.

You must know that you are responsible for your own choices. You can choose to be a spiritual person or a non-spiritual person. Some are the living dead, while others are the dead who are alive. I know this sounds convoluted, but what I mean is that if a person does not understand why they are alive, they are in a terrible state. In our time, there was a play called The White-Haired Girl, in which Yang Bailao was terribly oppressed by the landlord Huang Shiren. He bought a red hair ribbon for his daughter as a New Year's gift. Think about it carefully: why did this person live as Yang Bailao?

If a person does not understand the spiritual realm, they are toiling away. A small incident can cost them thousands, tens of thousands; a larger incident, hundreds of thousands; a major incident, millions. Recently, I was ministering to a person in real estate who did not understand the point of living and suddenly owed 20 million. It was a tragedy! He wanted to jump off a building. I thought, if he has the courage to jump, why doesn't he have the courage to believe? Trying to get him to serve, believe, and give offerings is like slaughtering a pig. He just can't figure out what life is about.

Today, brothers and sisters, your current condition is a reflection of your spiritual life. Today, I tell you, the things of the spiritual realm are extraordinary! Once the devil makes a move and God's hand leaves you, you are almost finished. So today, God does not want us to perish but wants us to receive His blessings. But how do we receive them? We must enter into the blessings of Mingding Destiny. To enter into the blessings of Mingding Destiny, we must know what our life is about.

Today, I tell you, if you are impervious to reason, there is nothing I can do. You must listen. The root of all problems in this world is in the spiritual realm. This is what I teach in the 101 course. The key to solving problems in this world is to be victorious in the spirit. When a person prospers in the spirit, they prosper in all things. If you live by a worldly logical system, you will never live well. Try it and see? Perhaps you are 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90 years old. No matter how old you are, look back on your past journey and how you have come this far. What has caused you to live that way is your internal logical system. What is your logical system? If your internal logical system is a human one, then you live in lies and deception. The devil can easily deal with you. But if you have a godly logical system within you, you will surely live prosperously.

The Church as a Platform for Distributing Blessings

The platform for fulfilling Mingding Destiny is knowing why we are alive. We are alive to be a blessing to all nations on earth. I have seen many people living in poverty who came out of it through God's grace. I also came out of poverty through God's grace and live a normal life. We can all live better by serving God.

You have a Mingding Destiny; you need to do something, you need to build a glorious church. What does building a glorious church do? It perfects our lives and gives them meaning.

If you want to be a blessing to many people, you must be in the church. Because the spiritual realm is real, the church must become an army, a powerful army. If you are in a victorious army, you are very victorious; in a defeated army, you are very defeated. If the church is victorious but you are disconnected from it, that is deadly.

Someone in the group is typing: Pastor, my sister is involved in the All-Powerful God cult. Please save her. Why? Because this cult is backed by an evil spirit. When an evil spirit operates, it controls people's thoughts. Her sister is being controlled by this evil spirit, causing her to think erratically, which is very dangerous. So today, brothers and sisters, how do we save her? We fight a spiritual battle together! So today, we are talking about the church as a platform for distributing blessings.

If people understand what it means to be alive, they will know how important it is to distribute blessings. If they do not understand what it means to be alive, they will live for themselves, which is very hard. Today, I remind everyone again, what does it mean to be alive? Being alive is actually a feeling—an inner feeling. When you have inner peace and joy, you are happy throughout your life. But some people do not know this and are led astray by their desires and pierced through by sorrows. Why are mentally ill people so miserable? Because they are extremely selfish. Extreme selfishness leads to mental illness. If a person is not too selfish, it's still okay; they live for worldly things—eating, drinking, using, wearing, preparing this and that for their children. When the children grow up, it's all these things. They will also be pierced through by these worldly things. Why? Because the logic within is wrong.

What does it mean to be alive? It means feeling good, which has little to do with money. Money may generate some feelings, but many things besides money can generate wonderful feelings—like burning your life for God, offering your life to God, and no longer living for these worldly things. I tell you, you will not lack any worldly things. Then, live your life to your Mingding Destiny, and you will have joy. Recognizing the key to things is very important. Don't think I'm talking nonsense. What I'm saying may be different from what you think, but you need to challenge your own ideas. So, grasp the key to things, and the other less important things will also be grasped. What does it mean to be alive? It means living out your Mingding Destiny, and then you will have joy and happiness.

So, brothers and sisters, why am I talking about the church as a platform for distributing blessings today? I want to push you all into the meaning of this life. Last night, I treated some brothers and sisters to dinner, including an elderly person in their 80s who was so joyful and happy. In the past, their temper was not very good, and they lived a hard life. But after believing in the Lord, they changed their inner faults and their inner logical system, and they now live happily and joyfully. Being over 80 years old is wonderful!

The Fundamental Solution is to Build a Glorious Church

So today, brothers and sisters, you must know that building a glorious church is very important. The fundamental solution to problems is to build a glorious church that can fight spiritual battles.

I tell you, where is the spiritual realm? The spiritual realm is in our thoughts and ideas. If our thoughts are deceived by the devil and we follow that set of thoughts, we are definitely doomed. If your journey has been off course, you need to change it as soon as possible. Don't change it slowly. You don't even know if you'll have the chance. Because sometimes, if the devil wants to destroy you, you won't even have a chance. So today, let's begin to understand that the church is a platform for distributing blessings.

A long time ago, a brother came to us who had a severe case of lumbar disc protrusion. He was an excellent student in China and could have been admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University. But because of the lumbar disc issue, he couldn't take the exams, which was very painful. Later, he went to Singapore to attend university. His university was near our church. One day, his classmate brought him to church. As soon as he entered the church and listened to my sermon, his lumbar disc was healed. He felt something leave. When he left the church, that thing came back in. He did many experiments. Before that, he had seen many doctors and specialists from the best hospitals but concluded , they told him that lumbar disc protrusion could not be cured and needed to be rested.

Later, he did many experiments, thinking that the church chair was the key. Then he tried to take the church door back to his house and hope the church door could heal him. Actually, he proved one thing: the key is the church. Why? Because this place is so miraculous, because this place has God's presence. God's presence can strike down the devil's dark forces. Because the church is a glorious church and can completely strike down the devil's dark forces. Actually, the spirit of lumbar disc protrusion is a very small spirit. Today, you need to know that the resolution of the lumbar disc protrusion problem is because the church is a glorious and victorious church.

One day during my lesson, this brother suddenly said to me, My lumbar disc protrusion was healed mysteriously one day. Then, when he was sharing his testimony, a sister also said that after coming to the church, my lumbar and cervical spine were also healed. I said this is amazing! If you are living in a traditional concept, you are living under the devil's rule. You need to come out of it.

Healing and Deliverance are God's Promises

We are talking about the church as a place for distributing blessings. Today, brothers and sisters, you need to know for sure that healing is a blessing. How many problems in this world are related to illnesses? In other words, the medical institutions have not solved the problem of diseases well. If doctors had solved these problems well, there would not be so many problems today.

A few days ago, I ministered to a sister who lost her child to a brain tumor at the age of four. If the hospitals had solved these problems, the people would not need us. Unfortunately, the power of the hospitals is too limited. So even with hospitals, we still need God! We still need a glorious church, so these people have seen one doctor after another, and finally, they come to the church and get healed. Why? Because this is a glorious church. So the church is the platform for fulfilling Mingding Destiny, and the church is also the platform for distributing blessings. Don't you want to bless many people? Don't you want to live happily and joyfully?

You want to be happy and joyful, and you also want to bless others. By blessing others, we ourselves can be happy and joyful. But if you want to bless others, you must have a platform. Because this is a spiritual battle. If you cannot win the spiritual battle, you will not be able to bless them. As time goes by, my understanding of diseases, and insight to their spiritual essence becomes clearer and clearer. When you meet a patient with lumbar disc protrusion, what can you do? Introduce him to a doctor? He has already seen many doctors; finding another doctor will at best be just listening to a doctor say the same thing again.

God has released many mental illness patients through my hands; God has released many lumbar disc protrusion patients through my hands; God has also done many, many miraculous things. I long to be a blessing to many people, and I also long for the brothers and sisters in our church to be a blessing to many people. Actually, I have always hoped to preach the gospel to my classmates, hoping to bless them. Now, I am beginning to see that God seems to be giving me this opportunity. I meet my classmates, eat and drink together, but I also bless them, releasing them from the control of illnesses. That feeling is fantastic.

My classmates are all over 50 years old, and in the blink of an eye, they will be 60, 70, and 80 years old. Thinking about it, that is a more difficult stage in life. Today, remember that work cannot solve your health problems; doing anything else cannot solve your health problems. Building a glorious church can not only solve your own problems but also solve other people's problems. So today, brothers and sisters, if your minds and thoughts cannot be changed and you are still living in a traditional and human point of view, then you are living under the control of the devil.

Paying the Price to Build a Glorious Church

To come out from within, heed my words. Today, do you realise the immensity of this blessing? The church is a platform for distributing blessings. How wonderful is that! Not long ago, a postgraduate sister came to us. Her life was initially bright and promising, but as she continued her studies, she developed depression. This led to insomnia, dejection, and immense pressure, which gradually became the central focus of her life. At a young age, she developed an eye ailment that blurred her vision, greatly affecting her studies and work.

It was difficult for her to live well, let alone bless others. She felt compelled to live for the sake of her parents, which was profoundly painful. She found herself unable to die, feeling it would be unfair to her parents, yet unable to live contently. Trapped between life and death, she sought help from psychologists, but with little success. However, when she joined our church, she experienced a truly miraculous event.

One day, lying on her bed, utterly exhausted and in great distress, she yearned for deliverance. On that day, she clicked something in our group chat, and the group video appeared. Suddenly, her strength was entirely restored. She exclaimed, So, this group has such power! I responded, Thank God, this is the key to the glorious church's ability to bless people.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, if you encounter such a situation, what should you do? You must understand that if you are merely an independent individual, not serving within the church, it will be challenging to offer assistance. However, if you are part of a victorious church, it is easy to minister to her. Banish all ailments, poverty, and evil spirits from her, and guide her to a state of spiritual prosperity. Hence, brothers and sisters, know with certainty that the key to solving problems lies in building God's glorious church. The church is a platform for distributing blessings. I hope this message sinks into your minds: the church is a platform for distributing blessings. If you aspire to bless this era and live a fulfilling life, pay the price to build the church.

Let me tell you, this sister is now doing quite well, though she occasionally relapses into depression. Why? Because the reasoning system within her has not been fully renewed. Can we establish a new logical framework today? If God could deliver me from depression, what problem could remain unresolved! I shall solely rely on God. If God can heal a lumbar disc herniation, what is impossible! If God can bless me with a job, must I still slave away for work? Yes, I can work diligently, but I will not be controlled by my job.

Living means trusting in God, not relying on business contacts, employers, or worldly pleasures. Therefore, brothers and sisters, maintain a clear mind! Sometimes, I tell my brothers and sisters that a single disaster can undo all your past efforts. Just one disaster! I earnestly hope that we can internalise this. Life cannot be lived according to the old system of logic. Examine the words you speak; are they in accordance with the Scriptures? If you are unclear about the teachings of the Bible, and your thought process is ingrained and stubborn, what will you do when disaster strikes? Effort after effort, yet a loophole appears. More effort, another loophole. What is the point? It is all in vain. Therefore, brothers and sisters, we must extricate ourselves from problems. Then, we shall extend blessings to our families, our generation, and those in need.

The Church as a Platform for Fulfilling Destiny

If we do not believe that God can solve our problems, we will rely on our own efforts. Look at the results of your own efforts. Therefore, brothers and sisters, know with certainty that if you wish to live out your destiny, you need a platform to fulfil it. This platform is the church that distributes blessings.

In the practice of the faith of Jesus Christ, we have countless stories among us; testimonies abound every day. It seems just last night, a pastoral district ministered to someone who had severe stomach pains on a construction site. After they prayed, he vomited and was healed. Then they could continue to minister to him, transforming his thoughts and intentions. Is it not true that we live not by earning money, but by relying on God? If God can manage the universe, can He not manage our work and income?

Brothers and sisters, I am often moved to lament! Having experienced God time and again, why do we still refuse to change our inner selves? When will we eliminate the incorrect system of logic within us and establish a new one? When I return to Mudanjiang and see my own family, although they seem to be doing well on the surface and they love the Lord, I often feel very moved because they are still clinging to human logic at the core!

Some brothers and sisters have been consumers in the church for several years, sitting in the church and then going home. You can say that they have received some blessings, but not much. One sister received blessings from the church, but she never served; she was always speaking human words. Later, for a while, she wondered, Is this how people live? Actually, let me tell you, living a mediocre, unconquered Christian life is not easy; life is really not easy; there are still many troubles. Her son often caused trouble for her back home, but she couldn't solve it. She would have to pay a sum of money for every trouble he caused, and her own health often had problems. I have ministered to her many times; I often needed to pray for her. It really can't be seen that she is in a blessed state. Later, she began to think because I often asked, Why are we living? Why are we living? Today, I will stimulate everyone again: Why are you living? You are living to run towards death. I tell you this is meaningless.

As a result, one day these words entered her mind, and she began to adjust the system of logic within her. Yes, why am I living? Why am I living? Why should I live this way? Am I living just for work? Later, she accepted my system of logic. From a church consumer, she began to enter into the service of the church. She began to serve fervently, and then she was greatly blessed. She works in a beauty salon, and her performance is often the highest, and her income is the highest.

So, brothers and sisters, you think you have to work hard to be blessed, but what you earn is disaster. In fact, desperately serving God is what earns blessings. Therefore, brothers and sisters, we must know for sure that you reap what you sow. I don't need you to say that I come to the meeting every time. This sister comes to the meeting every time. What's the point? It's useless. You have to start entering into your destiny and becoming a person who distributes blessings.

Enter into Destiny and become a Blessing Distributor

Today brothers and sisters, carefully ask yourself, who have you blessed? Who have you released from the oppression of the devil? If I give you a new person to shepherd and you shepherd him to death, of course he may be dead, and I won't blame you. But the question is, what have you done? If you do nothing and he dies or gets stuck somewhere in his spirit. Then who have you blessed? If the logic system within us is not changed, then it is difficult for you to become a person who distributes blessings.

So today brothers and sisters begin to know how many sick people there are in this era, how many people need our blessings. So today if you don't know, you have to start answering, why do you live? If you live for the sake of living, I tell you disaster will not leave you. So today we must establish a church concept, you are not here to sit in the church, I also come to the church, I also come to listen, and I never miss it. But the question is, are you always there as a consumer? Are you always just receiving blessings? That's not what God says in the Bible. God wants us to enter into destiny. God wants us to be a blessing to this generation. If you don't shepherd, how do you do it?

When I returned to this place in Mudanjiang, I met a brother. I advised him, Brother, if God asks you, do you love Him? If you answer, You love Him. God would definitely tell you to shepherd my sheep. Isn't that right? That's what God said. If you love God, God knows it. If you don't love God and just play a religious ritual, it's useless.

Playing a ritual is useless, nothing can stop it, and no problem can be solved. So today we must know for sure, what do you love and why do you live? Then whose blessing have you become? Do you have any blessings for people? Our brothers and sisters think about such issues. Then building a church requires breaking some very fatal viewpoints. What do our brothers and sisters want to break today? The concept of being self-righteous. Some people read the Bible by themselves and pray at home. I am close to God at home, and I am fine. Is it really good? I tell you that is not the concept of the church. Jesus said

“I will build my church on the Rock, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” (Matthew 16:18-19)

Do you understand? The church is to bind demons and release the sick and oppressed.

The church must be built on the rock of Jesus Christ. The church is definitely not a group of self-righteous people. I am blessed and close to God. In this generation, many of these logical systems of drawing close to God are very rampant. There are also various theories such as family first, etc. Where does the Bible talk about family first? The Bible says to put your family on the altar for God. If you love your family more than you love the Lord Jesus, you are not worthy to be a disciple of the Lord Jesus.

So self-righteousness is definitely not a solution to the problem. Reading the Bible, praying, and drawing close to God at home. You can't deal with any ghosts. It's good if the ghosts don't come to you. In fact, the ghosts will definitely come to you. He will even ruin your life, because letting you enter that illusion is itself the devil's lies and deception. So today brothers and sisters, you have to deal with the idea of being self-righteous.

Second, we also have to deal with the idea of not fighting. Not fighting is a very deadly thing, thinking that I can solve the problem by drawing close to God. In fact, no, drawing close to God can solve the problem of drawing close to God, and fighting can solve the problem of fighting. God came into this world not to bring peace to this world, but to bring swords to this world. Abraham received God's promise and said that I would give that land to you and your descendants. By the time of Moses and Joshua, he had to go in and drive those people out with knives and guns. If you draw close to God in the temple, the people in that place cannot be driven out. You also cannot obtain the promised land.

Today, our brothers and sisters must also know for sure that not fighting is also a very fatal thing. Not fighting cannot release the captured people. So many churches don't cast out demons. They praise God there, saying that praising God will make the demons go out. I checked in the Bible, and it seems that the result of the check is not like this. Casting out demons is casting out demons, and praising God is praising God. Casting out demons is using authority to drive them out in the name of Jesus Christ.

So today, our brothers and sisters must clearly understand that the church is a platform for distributing blessings. How to distribute blessings? Release people from oppression. To be released from oppression, we must build a powerful army of God. Building a powerful army of God can strike at the dark forces of the devil. So today, after our brothers and sisters begin to clearly understand this, they can say, So that's how it is. Many of our brothers and sisters who came from traditional churches, such as QL sisters, said that they did not know how to fight. They used to pursue too much, and the more they pursued, the more rampant the devil became, and they did not know what happened.

Today, we want to completely break this idea of ​​not fighting. The church is the army of God, and winning the battle gains God's promise, so that the captives can be released and the oppressed can be freed. This is the blessing. The church is doing this thing. Today we have grasped the main theme of the Bible. Because the definition of the church is what Jesus said. Jesus said:

“I will build my church on this rock, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. (Matthew 16:18-19)

Earth and Heaven, one is the material world and the other is the spiritual world. So what is released on earth is also released in the spirit. So today our brothers and sisters begin to return to the original teachings of the Bible. The church must distribute blessings. This is the Mingding Destiny of Abraham.

Because what Abraham received was to become a blessing to all nations, we are fulfilling this matter, and we are fulfilling this matter of becoming a blessing to all nations on earth. If you implement it, the better you implement it, the more joyful and prosperous your life will be.

What does God prepare for those who love Him? The ears have not heard, the eyes have not seen, and the heart has not thought of it. If you don’t love God, you only focus on a religious ritual. You don’t need to argue that you attend every gathering. It’s useless. You must become a disciple of Jesus Christ, a soldier of Jesus Christ, to fight and win, and then our Mingding Destiny will also be fulfilled.
