God reveals to mankind the path to a fulfilling life. God, in creating Adam and Eve, had already shown them the way to live well. However, Adam and Eve heard but did not heed. Consequently, the serpent's words led them to disobey God's command, enticing them to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. From that era onwards, humanity embarked on a path of speculation. We must understand that the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil is forbidden; eating it leads to certain death. Why is it forbidden? Why does it lead to death? This is perplexing.

We exhaust our minds contemplating the path of life, but such contemplation often leads us astray. Hence, there is an Israeli proverb: Man thinks, God laughs. The entire Book of Isaiah addresses one central theme: following God's word leads to one path, while disobeying it leads to another. What are blessings and curses? Obeying God's word is a blessing, while disobeying it is a curse.

Read God's Word, Believe, and Act

People find it difficult to believe God's word. Why? Because they prefer to speculate and demand empirical evidence. The entire Book of Isaiah recounts how hearing and obeying God's word leads to blessings, while disobeying it leads to judgment. This chapter continues this theme. The prophet Isaiah repeatedly implores the people of Israel to follow God's word. The Israelites of that time already possessed the Torah; they should have been a people who knew God. But why was it so difficult for them to heed God's word? The difficulty in knowing God lies in the fact that God's logical system and human logical systems are difficult to reconcile. Humans are born with a carnal logical system that makes their own thoughts seem reasonable, while God's words seem unreasonable.

Therefore, if you truly desire to know God, do not rely on your own reasoning to comprehend His actions, for you cannot. Today, someone called me, saying he wanted to seek God in seminary, so I dampened his enthusiasm. Not long ago, he had a sister who had suffered from headaches for many years, and she was healed after I prayed for her. He asked me: Pastor, why is it that so many great pastors, evangelists, and healers pray without effect, yet you succeed with just five minutes? I told him: Because I have the character of Jacob in my bones, clinging to God and not letting go.

I told him that when I prayed for him today, he might get better, or he might not. If he didn't get better, I would not give up; I would keep praying until his headache was completely gone. That's why his headache was healed after I prayed for five minutes because the demons causing his headache were afraid of me, so my prayer was effective. A good friend of his returned to Singapore to study theology, because he had always followed charismatic paths, and now he wanted to seek balance between so-called charismaticism and the gospel. But after studying theology for less than half a year, he developed cancer. Isn't that strange? How can studying theology lead to cancer? Today I told him, God's word is not for analysis; it is to be read, believed, and acted upon. Let's consider that Jesus did not study theology, and the twelve disciples He trained did not study theology either. In the Bible, Jesus never said you must study theology in order to believe His words. Jesus came among us in the flesh; when you read these things, you must believe them, isn't it so? If you read but do not believe, what's the point of reading?

People love to create strange things according to their own understanding. What was the thinking of this person who got cancer from studying theology? He thought: I must find balance. But in seeking balance, he got cancer. What better proof could there be that he had entered into a curse? And where did this curse come from? It came from disobeying God's word. Today we must learn to diligently obey God's word. Whether you believe or not, you must obey, because God knows the way, but you and I do not. Seminaries follow a path of speculation, analyzing God's word after reading it. Brothers and sisters, speculation is not the way. The Bible describes a group of people who studied theology, the Pharisees, and what did they become? A brood of vipers. That's terrifying. Why is that? The reason is simple: Our God wants us to read His word and act (Matthew 7:24), not read His word and analyze it. People in seminaries analyze God's word after reading it.

Today, the path I lead the brothers and sisters on is the right one, because I strive to diligently obey God's word. What does the Bible say? The Holy Spirit leads us into all truth, not our reasoning. We cannot comprehend God's word through reasoning; we must enter into God's truth through the Holy Spirit. Do you understand? We can only receive God's word through the Spirit of God. That's why the first gift Jesus gave us after ascending to heaven was the Holy Spirit, the Comforter. So, brothers and sisters, know that the God we believe in is seeking those who seek Him. People often say, God hasn't told me, how can I believe? I was sought by those who did not ask; I was found by those who did not seek me. I said, ‘Here I am, here I am,’ to a nation that did not call on my name. (Isaiah 65:1 NIV)

Brothers and sisters, what kind of God is our God? Our God is constantly calling us: I have stretched out my hands all day long to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, following their own devices. (Isaiah 65:2 NIV) The problem lies in the fact that people's minds are controlled by something: their own preconceived notions. These notions lead people astray, causing them great suffering, and then they complain: God, do you even see what's happening? God looks down at these people and feels helpless, saying: Do you even have eyes? I have been calling out to you, but you have not seen or heard.

Everyone has experienced spiritual things. The other day I visited an old friend. We used to be in the same research institute. Two years ago, her husband jumped off a building. He was one of the top ten outstanding youths of our generation, and both of them were very capable people. I wanted to share the gospel with her, but it was difficult to get through to her. I left her with nine words, telling her to repeat them often: Filled with the Holy Spirit, Hallelujah! She actually wrote it down in her notebook. May the Holy Spirit work revelation in her heart.

More than a year after her husband's death, she developed heart disease and was taken into the operating room for surgery. Before the surgery, she held her son's hand and said, If the hospital calls you tonight, you'll know what happened, because Mom is dead. If you don't receive a call, then bring Mom a bowl of porridge to the hospital tomorrow. Hearing about her hardships brought tears to my eyes. She has come out of it now, but her mind is still filled with human logic. I shared testimonies and told her about the miracles God had performed through my hands, but it had little effect.

Everyone in this world experiences spiritual things in some way. Before her surgery, her friend told her: If someone tries to lead you away, don't follow them. During the surgery, her heart stopped for nine seconds. She could see the monitor showing that her heart had stopped beating. She pressed the call button, and the doctor came. Then she began to drift into a daze, feeling her spirit floating upward from her body before returning. During those nine seconds, she said she saw two people, a man and a woman, who told her: Don't follow us! Even now, my hair stands on end as I recount this. The spirit of death is heavy in hospitals; people have died in every room.

The Greatest Enemy of Mankind is the Thoughts Within Us

I have stretched out my hands all day long to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, following their own devices. (Isaiah 65:2 NIV)

The greatest enemy of mankind is the thoughts within us. All of mankind's problems and disasters begin in our minds. If your mind is filled with human ideas, you will not be well. You might say, That's not true; look at how well other people are living. The problem is that when you see them living well, they are indeed well. But what happens when they are not well? Jesus has already judged these people; sooner or later, they will die by the sword.

So, almost everyone has experienced spiritual things. I know a brother who experienced stories from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. Many of us have dreamed of the dead, especially deceased relatives, telling us that they are poor and miss us. During the Lunar New Year and other festivals, many people burn incense money. Do they really understand what they are doing? No. Later, I shared testimonies with my old friend, saying she must have experienced spiritual things. She said she hadn't. I said, Didn't you just tell me about your heart stopping for nine seconds? She said, That's the only thing. Actually, there are many more, aren't there? I told her: All the problems and disasters a person experiences in life are spiritual matters, but you don't realize it.

“A people who provoke me to anger continually to my face, offering sacrifices in gardens and burning incense on altars of brick; who sit among the graves and spend the night in secret places; who eat the flesh of pigs, and whose pots hold broth of defiled things; who say, ‘Keep away; don’t come near me, for I am too sacred for you!’ (Isaiah 65:3-5 NIV)

Why do people do these things? Because man is a spiritual being. For example, my mother, when we talk about the true God, she says: I am an atheist. I immediately scold her: Give me a break! I've known since I was a kid that when you see a fortune teller passing by our house, you call him in. Sometimes they've gone far away, but you chase after them and pull them back! Isn't that strange?

So, brothers and sisters, don't deny that you have experienced spiritual things. If you have, let's draw this conclusion: if the spiritual realm is real, and demons are real, then what will you use to resist them? Your RMB or your Singapore dollars and US dollars? You can't resist demons with anything. Brothers and sisters, listen to my advice today. If you have the authority God has given you, you can strike the enemies of the devil, and your life will be awesome! We have obtained a treasure!

But many people have experienced spiritual things, and they also know God, like the Israelites. They are descendants of Jacob; how could they not know God? But they do detestable things, sitting among the graves and spending the night in secret places, eating the flesh of pigs, and whose pots hold broth of defiled things, and then saying to others: Keep away; don’t come near me, for I am too sacred for you! What causes them to do this? Following their own devices. Brothers and sisters, if you cannot transform your own thoughts into God's thoughts, you are finished. Many people think they have never done anything wrong. Others have clearly seen it, but they still don't admit it, thinking they are very holy. Our own thoughts are so hateful. God says:

These are smoke in my nostrils, a fire that keeps burning all day long. See, it stands written before me: I will not keep silent but will pay back in full; I will pay back both your sins and the sins of your ancestors, says the LORD. Because they burned incense on the mountains and defied me on the hills, I will measure into their laps the full payment for their former deeds. (Isaiah 65:5-6 NIV)

Brothers and sisters, don't think that I don't know or haven't heard God's word. I tell you, even if you don't know, God will still judge you. If we encounter disasters in this world, know that these disasters come from God. Don't think you are doing good, because you are not acting according to God's word, but merely according to the garbage you have stored in your mind.

As a pastor, I am building a church today, and if there is anything to boast about, it is that I absolutely implement everything according to God's word. If there is anything that is not implemented according to God's word, you can tell me. I really hope to correct it. Today, the Christian industry is filled with various arguments that I have never read in the Bible and that God has never spoken. If you are a Christian and what you say has no biblical basis and you add it yourself, God will bring disaster upon you. For example, Oh, I used to be very charismatic, and now I need to study a theology of ministry to balance myself. The balance leads to cancer, and you don't even know how you got into it. So, brothers and sisters, we don't need to balance. We need to firmly believe in God's word; that is what I dare to boast about.

Why is God clearly with us? God wants to do a lot of releasing work among us. Because God is looking for people like us who strive and are like Jacob. If there are one or two people like Jacob in the world, God will not destroy the world. God does not like destruction. God hopes that there are a few righteous people in this world who can spread His gospel so that more people return to God and receive His blessings. Today, we may be among the few remaining people in the world who are beginning to proclaim His gospel.

Today I heard a news. One of our sister's nephew had a car accident, then we knew the child's parents were in the process of divorce today, which would attract many demons. I asked where the child's father was. The child's father did not believe in the Lord. He had been among us, but he left the church because he could not get over the hurdle of tithing. So people are so foolish they don't know how to follow God's word. Then God will tell you, Sorry. This is what the LORD says: As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes and people say, 'Don't destroy it, there is yet some good in it,' so will I do in behalf of my servants; I will not destroy them all [Chinese Mingding Destiny]. (Isaiah 65:8 NIV) We must be the light and salt of this world, live out God's glory, and bring God's people out of here. God will bring disaster to that place.

“This is what the LORD says: Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What house will you build for me? Where will my resting place be? (Isaiah 66:1 NIV)

We don't need money or people to build a church. We need God. If there are still people in this world who uncompromisingly follow God's word, then God will manifest His glory through them. God values those who uncompromisingly follow His word.

If you do not tremble at God's word, you will tremble at God's judgment. Today, we must all become uncompromisingly loyal to God's word. How does God say, we do. In the last chapter of Revelation, it is written that if you add anything to the Bible, or subtract anything, remove some verses that you don't like or don't believe, God will bring disaster upon you. This will be cursed. God will erase your name from the Book of Life. Today we have read this chapter, can we be people who fully believe in all of God's words? If you say you do not want to fully believe in all of God's words, you can study the outcome of those who do not believe in God's words, and then examine the outcome of those who fully believe in God's words.

I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, and from Judah those who will possess my mountains; my chosen people will inherit them, and there my servants will live. (Isaiah 65:9 NIV)

Do you know what kind of person Jacob was? Jacob was a very faithful man. At the age of 75. didn't have love relationships and get married, and waited only to obtain God's [Mingding Destiny], to reverse the order of his and his brother's birth------to obtain the birthright. That is the person who clings to God. Later, his brother was at the Jabbok River and bringed four hundred soldiers to kill him, and Jacob was very afraid; at this time he wrestled with the angel of God, Jacob was wrestled to the ground, he grasped to God and don't let God go, and said that you don't bless me means I will not let you go. Brothers and sisters, we must all be like Jacob, I have Jacob's look on me, you don't bless me means I will not let you go. Can such kind of people not live well? But you cannot live well relying on your own thoughts. If you approach God's word, you will lack nothing of what God had promised.

But as for you who forsake the LORD and forget my holy mountain, who spread a table for [the god of] Fortune and fill bowls of mixed wine for [the god of] Destiny, I will destine you for the sword; you will all bend down for slaughter. For I called but you did not answer, I spoke but you did not listen. (Isaiah 65:11-12 NIV)

There are only two types of people in this world, not men and women, but those who are like Jacob and those who are not. Which type of person do you want to be? Everyone, let's be sure to know this, we shouldn't feel scare of those who killed the body, should feel scare of those who can killed both the body and the soul. These people forsake the LORD because they think that what they have more better than God. I considered myself is a person who very good in study, but I do not believe in my head, I only believe in God's words. They forget to climb up on the Holy Mountains of God and neglect raising their own spiritual life, but instead have forsaken the LORD. This has a very deep meaning. Those who forsake the LORD, they no longer climb on the Holy Mountains of God; if you want to climb the Holy Mountains of God, you must climb constantly and never give up. There is no such thing as I am saved in that year, the kingdom of heaven is to be entered. Staying at the starting point and at the bottom of the mountain, you will not gain anything, you will constantly injured by the devil's arrows, we can't stay at that kind of place for too long.

The kingdom of heaven is to be entered, given to those who strives continuously. Brothers and sisters, we must never stay at a very low level, we must climb and climb and climb, until we can enter to the house of God, to come to before God. Some people believe in luck and believe in Destiny [Mingding Destiny], I am amazed a lot of Christians has not Jacob's personality: want to surely obtain the Destiny [Mingding Destiny] no matter what happened. They are thinking that: everyone's gifts are different, God had given you the gift of healing diseases, but not gave it to me. What a nonsense? The core faith of Christianity is: our birth order by faith can be reversed. Jacob's faith is called active faith, which is: I don't believe I won't get it, even if God did not plan to give it to me at the beginning, I thirst and strive for it, I believe that God will definitely give it to me! The order of birth can be reversed, so doesn't mean what God should give to you is the more the gifts to heal diseases?

Brothers and sisters, let's begin to change our mindsets, none of us not serve, none of us not shepherd. Because if you love God, you must shepherd God's flocks. If you believe, you will serve. Gifts are from service, because God wants to help you accomplish God's [Mingding Destiny] on you Jesus trained twelve disciples, who all were people who healed diseases and drove away demon, included the one who betrayed Him, Judas. Even Judas that time, God also do not hesitate to give him such kind of gifts.The Lord Jesus later trained seventy disciples, who also were called to heal diseases and drive away demon, preaching gospel. Thought that your gifts are not enough, this is a lied. Paul says in the bible we should eagerly desire and pursue the greater gifts. If you want to pursue the gifts you will find that God is already there waiting wanting to give you that gift. So those will be killed is deserved it I will destine you for the sword you will all bend down for slaughter, why this type of people bend down for slaughter? Because it is slaughtered by the devil, bend means humiliate slaughtered.

If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name—the LORD your God— the LORD will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses. Moreover, he will bring upon you all the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will cling to you. The LORD will also bring on you every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed. (Deuteronomy 28:58-61 NIV)

Today is cancer serious or not serious? Serious! Cancer is actually a reflection of curse. Can we establish a covenant with God: Dear Lord, on the remaining days I want to carefully follow your word, to be a blessed person, those diseases must to be far away from us! Thoroughly abandon all the thoughts and mindsets which are not in God's will. Start doing the thing is right in God's eye!

I'm giving the Do What Is Right in the Eyes of the Lord I wrote to a sister who left our church and went to another church. Because I really want to bless her. But she said, Our church is also good. Recently, it had pushing for the pastor to put his flesh to death, and then his wife began to put her flesh to death as well. But there is no such thing in the Bible! Many people talk a lot things, but there is no biblical basis at all.

Being God’s Faithful Servant

Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, My servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry; behold, My servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty; behold, My servants shall rejoice, but you shall be ashamed; behold, My servants shall sing for joy of heart, but you shall cry for sorrow of heart and wail for grief of spirit. You shall leave your name as a curse to My chosen ones, for the Lord GOD will kill you, and call His servants by another name.” (Isaiah 65:13-15)

Can we become servants of God? That is, emulate Jacob, Isaac, Joseph, Abraham… become those who can inherit God's estate, and not leave behind a cursed name for ourselves!

We are servants of the living God, and God will care for us! Therefore, God says:

“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former things shall not be remembered or come to mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; For behold, I create Jerusalem as a rejoicing, And her people as a joy. I will rejoice in Jerusalem, And joy in My people; The voice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her, Nor the voice of crying. No more shall an infant from there live but a few days, Nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days; For the child shall die one hundred years old, But the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed. They shall build houses and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit. They shall not build and another inhabit; They shall not plant and another eat; For as the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people, And My elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labor in vain, Nor bring forth children for trouble; For they shall be the descendants of the blessed of the LORD, And their offspring with them.” (Isaiah 65:17-23)

This is well said, and you must thirst for such a promise. Today, will you choose to rely on the labor of your own hands? Or will you turn back from sin? You must know that a person who trusts in God lacks no good thing. I emphasize again, you must all rise up and become exorcists, thoroughly trampling on the dark powers of the devil, and bringing down the benefits of God's kingdom in your days on earth.

The kingdom of God is to come among us, and the kingdom of God is the newly created Jerusalem. All things in Jerusalem are blessed. If you want to live well, then I tell you, to live well is to take on the destiny of this era, to build the glorious church of God, that is the new heavens and new earth. The new Jerusalem is the church, and the church is to become seamlessly one with God. At that time,

“It shall come to pass That before they call, I will answer; And while they are still speaking, I will hear.” (Isaiah 65:24)

Before we even pray, God already knows, and as we are about to speak, God accomplishes it for us. What could be better than this? I dream of this day being fulfilled. What I dream of is that our brothers and sisters will all be warriors who can instantly kill devils. What grace that would be! Today, we are not far from instantly killing devils.

“The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, The lion shall eat straw like the ox, And dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,” Says the LORD. (Isaiah 65:25)

Today I tell you again that the vision God revealed through Isaiah is called God's holy mountain. We must constantly climb this holy mountain, raising the height of our spiritual lives. If you do not know what this holy mountain is, I tell you that the scenes described in Rick Joyner's book, The Final Quest, of those walking the path of the holy mountain, are the path our church has walked. What God revealed to Rick Joyner has all been fulfilled in us.

At the bottom of God's holy mountain is all about discerning good and evil, so we must constantly ascend the mountain of the Lord and enter the house of the God of Jacob, so that our lives can begin to eat the fruit of the tree of life, which is an exceedingly good thing.

If you want to live well, this is the path of life. If you want to live poorly, it is simple, just follow your own ideas. If a person can put down their own ideas and begin to do according to the word of God, how can they not prosper? Because our God is an exceedingly rich God, our God is an exceedingly powerful God, and nothing is better than listening to God’s word. If you hear God's word and do it, you will surely prosper.

Today I have seen with my own eyes the fact that those who love God and do their best in pastoring with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength find a job right away. I urge the brothers and sisters to turn back to God and do according to God's word, and not according to their own ideas. But there are still many people who act according to their own ideas, which is a foolish practice.

Do you want to become a smart person? Implement God's word. Brothers and sisters, there is little I can do to help you; only you can help yourself. How can you help yourself? Let the word of God be in your heart, and let you act according to God's word, which is a blessed path.

Today, the sister who left the church that I met with, she only cares about whether the house I bought to build the church makes money, but brothers and sisters, do you know that blessings follow the blessed, and curses follow the cursed. You only see the house price increase, but you are mistaken. Because we are a group of people with Mingding Destiny, people who are after God’s heart, so we are blessed. Blessings follow us, and we are blessed wherever we go. Those who are cursed will be cursed even if they choose the right place.

“For as the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people, And My elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.” (Isaiah 65:22)

See how God fulfills His curse on those without Mingding Destiny. Every word of the 201 course is written by me. I just want to lead everyone into the blessing of Mingding Destiny. Having Mingding Destiny is infinitely good. It shall come to pass That before they call, I will answer; And while they are still speaking, I will hear. We walk with God, and God is with us. The world will be blessed because of us, that is the destiny of Abraham, when people on earth see us, they see the glory of God!
