I. Introduction

All that you see is yours. This is a spiritual principle. If your eyes cannot see, or if all you see is bad, it will all belong to you. Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must constantly refine your vision.

Upon receiving the concept that all that you see is yours, some brothers and sisters have said to me, What if your wife/husband runs off with someone else? What do you think of that? I would say, I choose to see all of that as good. Ah? You see that as good too?

If I did not see it as good, I would be in great pain. Why do I see it as good? Because such a thing will not affect me. What does it matter if they run off with someone else? Why can't some people tolerate such things? Because it is their bottom line! But today I am teaching you—do not have a bottom line.

See everything as good, and what you see is good, and what you get is good; if you see it as bad, what you get is bad. So, in the spirit, we choose to be wise.

Today, brothers and sisters, I tell you, the Israelites once faced a situation. What situation was that? In front was the Red Sea, and behind them were the Egyptian pursuers. Should they also see all of this as good? This was a fact: the Red Sea in front, pursuers behind, with no way to go, no road to be seen. But did they pass through it? They did!

In God's history, it tells us—the Israelites passed through! Crossing the Red Sea as if on dry ground—this is what our God did. Today, if someone tells me that God is fake, that there is no God in the world, then I would lose hope and anticipation. Without God, there is no hope. This is an extremely sad thing.

So today, begin to understand one thing. The topic I am sharing with you is Why do you cry out to me? from Exodus 14:15-16. Today, let us carefully look at the Bible. In the Bible, we rarely see those who are after God's own heart acting like slaves before God.

God, I beg you, I beg you! I beg you, okay?! I have never seen such prayers answered. What I have seen are people who speak boldly to God, not with the appearance of slaves, but as children of God.

We read Exodus on Wednesdays. Why do we read Exodus? Because it allows us to completely deal with the slave mentality. Only by dealing with the slave mentality can we become children of God.

You say, is it okay to be a maidservant in God's house? God needs children, and we truly are children of God. What are we crying out for? Crying out truly is the demeanor of a slave.

Today, brothers and sisters, listen to me. If you ever find in the Bible that God likes slaves, you can tell me, but I have not found that God likes the demeanor of slaves. The demeanor of slaves is not what God wants. God wants to raise up among us those who can imitate His Son Jesus Christ.

What does it mean to imitate Jesus Christ? To be children of God—God never said in the New Testament, I want a group of slaves. God never said in the New Testament that He likes slaves. What God likes are children of God. Once this concept is corrected, you will know that you have authority.

II. Scripture

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on. Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. (Exodus 14:15-16)

III. Prayer

Lord, speak to us today, speak to those of us who have the nature of slaves, and tell us, Why are you crying out?

Moses' Staff of Authority

You stretched out your hand and staff to the sea, and the sea was divided, because that is the authority you have given us. Today, we ask you to speak to us, so that we may know that what we have in our hands is the staff you have given us—the authority you have given us! Let us know that we are your children, and we truly are your children. Lord, speak to us today and be with us. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

IV. Background of the Scripture

Do you know what this passage is about? —Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses was originally an Egyptian prince. He was an Israelite, but he was adopted by the Egyptian princess and became a prince.

When this prince grew up, he saw the Israelites being oppressed, and his nanny was also his biological mother. From childhood, his mother taught him: You are an Israelite. Our ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, received God's covenant. The time is coming, because after more than four hundred years, this era will have someone to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.

Moses thought to himself, he must be that person. Who else could it be other than himself? Then he killed an Egyptian. But when he went to discipline the Israelites, the Israelites said, Who asked you to manage us? You killed an Egyptian, and the whole country knows! Don't you know?

As a result, Moses fled. He spent the remaining forty years in the wilderness of Midian, tending sheep. When almost forty years had passed, which happened to be around the 430-year mark, God appeared to Moses in the flames. God commanded Moses to return to Egypt and lead the Israelites out of Egypt. But Moses refused, but in the end he obeyed God, and God gave Moses a staff. This staff, when thrown on the ground, immediately turned into a snake. When he grabbed the snake's tail, it immediately turned back into a staff. So the staff in Moses' hand was a very peculiar staff.

Later in Egypt, the magicians could also throw their staffs on the ground and turn them into snakes, but their snakes were eaten by Moses' snake. That is to say, Moses' staff had more authority than the staffs of Pharaoh's magicians! Moses is a very interesting person. Today, if you ask me, Why did God turn the staff in Moses' hand into a snake? I don't really understand this matter, but I am sure that this is a staff representing authority. This is a very interesting staff.

Today, brothers and sisters, do you know? If you want to save God's people from the world, you must have the staff that God has given you in your hand. This staff represents the authority that God has given you.

Therefore, in our era, all those who have a Mingding Destiny are people who have a staff in their hands. Know that Moses was a very interesting person. He once was full of passion and wanted to rescue the Israelites from the hands of the Egyptian Pharaoh. Although he was an Egyptian prince, he could not do it. Now he has nothing; he is just an old man tending sheep in Midian. But because he has a staff in his hand, he can actually rescue the Israelites from the hands of the Egyptian Pharaoh. After leading the Israelites out, we will find that God is wonderful, and man is also wonderful.

Under God's leadership, Moses and the Israelites came to the Red Sea. The Red Sea was in front, and the Egyptian army was behind. The Egyptian Pharaoh suddenly thought: How could I let them go? I must hurry and chase them back! As a result, the Egyptian Pharaoh led his army, traveling day and night, and chased all the way to the Red Sea. The Israelites would feel numbed when they saw the Egyptian army. In front was the Red Sea, and behind them was the Egyptian army. What did these Israelites see? They saw their graves! So they said, Didn't we have graves in Egypt? Did we have to die here? Look, the Red Sea is in front, and the Egyptian army is behind. What exactly are you going to do, Moses? Even if you want to kill us, you don't need this method!

V. Exercise of Faith and Staff of Authority

Moses said: Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. This is what Moses himself said, before God spoke to Moses.

Do you have such faith today? You may be in such a situation right now. You have received the Mingding Destiny that God has given you, and you can take up the staff and use the authority that God has given you, but there is the Red Sea in front, and the Egyptian pursuers behind. At this time, you may say: Do not be afraid. Stand firm and see the salvation that the Lord will perform for us today. But what did the Lord say? He said to Moses: Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on. Raise your hand and stretch out your staff over the sea to divide the sea so that the Israelites can go through.

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on. Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. (Exodus 14:15-16)

What kind of talk is this—to go through the sea on dry ground? Where is the road? The road is on the staff in Moses' hand. God deliberately creates such an environment to train us. This thing is called authority, and it is that staff. Why are you crying out to me? Actually, I didn't see Moses crying out in the scripture, but I think his heart must have been crying out to God.

Do you think I am always a person of faith? Actually, I often tremble inside. I am saying, Do not be afraid; see the miracles that God will perform for you today, but the voice in my heart is often, God, how do we get through this situation? Tears are about to flow out. Brothers and sisters, the road to exercising faith is actually a road of blood and tears. Can you imagine Moses' situation? It's really not easy.

Can you imagine the situation Moses was in? It doesn't matter if you can't imagine it. You can stand in that place, imagine the Red Sea in front, the Egyptian pursuers behind, and leading a group of unarmed people, and then they say to you, Moses, don't we have graves in Egypt? They really wanted to kill Moses. As a result, Moses said not to be afraid, but he was very afraid in his heart.

Today, brothers and sisters, I tell you: I often face this kind of situation, but God tells me, Why are you crying out to me? Today, stop crying out to God. Know that we have a staff in our hands! It is the staff representing authority that God has given us!

I know that I have treasure in this jar of clay, because God is inside me. Even today, I often cry out to God in my heart, but God often says to me, Why are you crying out to me? Don't you know that you have a staff in your hand? Your staff once ate all the staffs of Pharaoh's magicians. The snake that your staff turned into is very powerful. You must raise your hand and stretch out your staff over the sea. Brothers and Sisters, do you know? This passage has repeatedly given me a lot of encouragement. I know that I have a staff in my hand, and I also know that God has given this staff into my hand.

VI. Go Straight Ahead, Do Not Look Back

Yesterday I met a brother from Singapore (his hometown is Beijing). When we had lunch together, he shared with me that this road is really difficult. He really loves the Lord. When he was in Beijing, he established a fellowship in his company, led them to study the Bible, and wanted to be Moses! Then he was demoted from his senior management position. I love the Lord very much too, and I once established a fellowship in my position, led Bible studies, and then established a church... As a result, I was demoted.

The Weight of Authority and the Declaration of Faith

At that time, I said in my heart: God, am I going to become Moses? Am I going to be transformed from a prince into a commoner? Brothers and sisters, know that people who have this kind of experience love God so much! Even though such a thing happened, I did not give up on God. I held onto God tightly and have walked until today. I am very clear about one thing: God will tell us in this environment, where is the road? The road is in your hand, in the authority in your hand. Raise your hand and stretch out your staff over the sea, and the sea will be divided, opening roads in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. Our God is so wonderful. How wonderful it would be if one could know throughout their life that God is our way, our life, and our truth.

Today, brothers and sisters, the situation you are encountering may be the same as the situation Moses led Israel into, but do not be afraid, because God will surely let these Egyptians see and know that—the Lord is God. What did God say? God said, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them. I will gain glory at the expense of Pharaoh and all his army, his chariots and his horsemen. The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I gain glory from Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen.

I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, so they will go after them. And I will gain glory through Pharaoh and all his army, his chariots and his horsemen. The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I gain glory through Pharaoh and his chariots and his horsemen. (Exodus 14:17-18)

If you have ever received a Mingding Destiny, and have paid a heavy price for this Mingding Destiny, and have suffered a lot, and then God gives you a position to serve God, and then lead this group of Israelites into the Promised Land, but before entering the Promised Land, you encounter the Red Sea. Even though you say you are not afraid and want to see the salvation that the Lord God performs, you are crying out to God in your heart. Do not be afraid and do not cry out, because that is not a prayer of faith.

Some pastors teach that the best and shortest prayer in the world is God! Save me! Later I saw that after Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit, he never used such a prayer again, and God did not praise Peter for such a prayer. This is not a good prayer.

What is a good prayer? It is to declare, “I have the authority that God has given me in my hand. I take up the authority and stretch out my staff over the sea, and the road will be opened.” The road is in your mouth, in your heart.

Brothers and sisters, know that the concept of the staff and authority is a very important concept! God said: Tell the Israelites to move on! These words often encourage me, and I also say to the brothers and sisters, Let us move on! But where is the road? The brothers and sisters also ask me, Pastor, where is the road? We stare at each other with wide eyes. The Red Sea is in front! Is the Red Sea the road? Yes, that is the road. Even the Red Sea must be divided before us. I know that the road to building God's glorious church is not easy to walk, but we have walked to this day. So I often say a sentence to the brothers and sisters, and also often say it to myself: Haven't we lived from yesterday to today? Then we will definitely be able to live from today to tomorrow! And tomorrow we will definitely be able to live to the day after tomorrow. We will definitely be able to pass through.

Confirmation of Mingding Destiny and Authority

The road is in the hands of our God, in our faith in God, and in the authority that God has given us. So the concept of the staff and authority is a very important concept among us. Someone asks: Pastor, do I have a staff in my hand? Then I also ask you a question, Do you have a Mingding Destiny? Have you ever been willing to offer yourself for God, willing to release God's people Israel from the hands of the Egyptians, have you ever released those who were captured and oppressed by the devil from the kingdom of the devil? If you have ever thought about it for a second, God will not forget it. God will shape your character, like Moses, David, and Jesus. If you have such a shadow on you, then today I tell you, you must have a staff that God has given you in your hand. You ask me where the staff is? Find a rolling pin, even if you don't have a staff in your hand, there is also a staff in my mind, which is the authority that God has given me.

Before Jesus ascended, he said that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me, given to Jesus Christ. Today, know that Jesus Christ is the head of the church, and we are the body of Jesus Christ. If the church is the body of Jesus Christ, do you say that we have that staff in our hands? We have it, we definitely have the authority that God has given us. All those whom God has sent have authority. Do you know what God sent the twelve disciples out for? To heal diseases and cast out demons. What was the result? God said that he gave them authority. Authority is given by God. Who do you think these twelve disciples are? These twelve disciples are very poor. In terms of behavior, they are not worthy of this authority, but God still gives them authority to subdue evil spirits. Later, seventy disciples were trained, relying on the authority that God bestowed.

Brothers and sisters, it is crucial to understand that our reliance is not on our deeds, but on our faith in God. God grants you authority; your willingness to step out is itself the possession of that authority.

Therefore, we must be certain that we are people who wield authority. Those with authority are those with Mingding Destiny (命定). Those with Mingding Destiny (命定) are those who can be commissioned. We are a group to set the captives free and to liberate the oppressed. We emulate the twelve disciples of Jesus Christ (avoiding the fall of Judas). Later, seventy arose; we must also emulate those seventy, to whom even the demons submitted.

Do you think Jesus made a mistake? Some pastors claim Jesus said something later, that we should not rejoice in subduing demons, but in having our names written in heaven. This statement does not nullify Jesus sending out the twelve disciples to cast out demons. Jesus trained the twelve and the seventy simply to tell them, You have authority in your hands, given by Me, to subdue unclean spirits. But you must know that your names are written in heaven. That is to say, your life must still be like Jesus! Being able to subdue unclean spirits does not replace your other responsibilities and tasks; what needs to be done still needs to be done.

Today, it is not that we can have our names written in heaven by not doing certain things, but rather that all these things need to be done. Brothers and sisters, do not interpret Scripture as they do, because Jesus Christ did not say, My sending you out was a mistake. Jesus never said that, did He? So today, let us do as Jesus Christ said, and take up the authority.

Take Up Authority, Subdue Unclean Spirits

Therefore, Christians in the time of Jesus Christ did not plead with God, but took up the authority of Jesus Christ to subdue unclean spirits. Today, it can be said that our deliverance ministry is among the best. Some say I should not be complacent, and I also feel it is not good enough, but it really is better than many, very good! Because we are not a group of supplicants; we are taking up the authority God has given, in this era, to emulate Jesus. We must continue to use this authority, to stretch out the staff to the sea, to carve out a path in the spiritual realm, to bring God's people to God's way, to the Promised Land. Deliverance is a crucial matter; pleading is an attitude that displeases God.

Today, brothers and sisters, you must know that if you come from a traditional church, the first thing I will deal with is your miserable, servile demeanor. God, heal my son, God, heal my son… It's useless! Why? Dealing with sickness without using authority is futile. Jesus said, These signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands.

What does pick up snakes with their hands mean? It means holding a staff, the staff that Moses turned from a snake, the staff that can become a snake and the snake that can become a staff.

In fact, there are some things in the Bible that are puzzling to us, but I think since the Bible says so, let's just do it that way, it's no big deal. I don't want to quibble. God said, Be as shrewd as snakes. Shrewd like what else, like a snake? God, are you mistaken? I don't think God is mistaken. Shrewd like snakes. Don't you find it strange? Why like a snake when there are so many other things to be like? Why like a snake when there are so many things you shouldn't be like?

What else can you pick up with your hands, why must we pick up snakes? Don't you find it interesting? But today I tell you, our hands can pick up snakes, representing that we are holding Moses' staff. We have authority in our hands. Do you believe your hands can pick up snakes? It may not be an actual snake, but it is crucial to know that you are picking up a staff of destiny.

This staff of destiny is the staff God sends you out with to subdue unclean spirits. So, brothers and sisters, where is the key to deliverance? The key to deliverance lies in using authority.

Therefore, in the days of Jesus, they discovered that Jesus' words had authority, unlike the teachers of the law and Pharisees. The words of the teachers of the law and the Pharisees were soft and weak, as if they had no authority. But you know what? God doesn't like them much. God doesn't like those who constantly say, Alas, I can't do it, God can, but I can't. Jesus is Jesus, I am me, Jesus can do it, but I can't…

A few days ago, I met a church leader who said, Alas, Jesus is Jesus, I am me. After hearing that, I felt sorry for his pastor. I don't know if his pastor taught him that or if he learned it himself.

But where is the problem? The problem lies in the authority in our hands. Do you believe you are a person with authority in your hands? In our church, a four-year-old can cast out demons. In the future, I believe even nursing infants can declare demons to depart!

Authority is non-negotiable. The devil wants to deceive you, making you think you have no authority. That is why our deliverance ministry is so effective, because we believe we have authority in our hands. Bang! Pick up this staff, raise the staff to the sea, and the sea will part! You say, if Moses didn't raise the staff, could the sea not part? If Moses didn't raise the staff, God would still cause the sea to part.

Working with God, Manifesting Authority

But God wants to work with us. God can still work without us. We were not present when He created the heavens and the earth. But why does He let Moses raise the staff today? Why does He want us to openly declare healing? Because God wants to work with us, to let us share His glory with God. God's glory is my glory, and our glory is God's glory. We are forever inseparable from God.

The staff that God gives is authority, and our authority is God's authority. May God walk with us, may we be completely united with God.

Today, deliverance must continue to advance, to continue to advance to deeper, broader, and higher levels. Strike the enemy, the devil, with the staff in our hands, completely trampling the work of the enemy. To release God's people, to lead the Israelites, to lead God's people, to cross the Red Sea as on dry ground, the path is all in the authority in our hands.

Not because of anything else, but because we have authority in our hands, not by might, nor by power, but by God’s Spirit. God’s Spirit will manifest His glory in our midst, to lead us into deeper levels of deliverance.

Let the glory of God’s kingdom be manifested, so that everyone in this world can see, so that the Egyptians can see the God of Israel, see our God, it is too wonderful! It is too wonderful!

You must know that you have a sword of imperial authority in your hand, you and I both have a sword of imperial authority in our hand to act first and report later. Raise the staff to the sea, and the sea will indeed part! Do you know how the Bible describes it? It said to Moses, Stretch out your hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.

Wow! If that scene were posted as a short video, wouldn't it shock the world? You need to know that if we had a cell phone in that generation, while crossing the Red Sea, we could film the water standing beside us, gurgling, gurgling, gurgling, wow! Wow! God, our God is so divine, how divine our God is! The Israelites really dared to move forward, the angel of God turned to go behind them, and the pillar of cloud also moved from in front of them and stood behind them, coming between the army of Egypt and the army of Israel. Throughout the night the pillar of cloud gave light to the one side and darkness to the other side; so that the one did not come near the other all night.

What are you afraid of? There’s nothing to fear! With God with us, what is there to fear? I ask you, what did the Israelites amount to at this time? The Israelites could only complain. Moses led this group of Israelites, who all died in the wilderness later, a group that provoked God’s anger. But God still brought them through the Red Sea, didn’t He?

Really, brothers and sisters, I don’t want to be that kind of person, but I also know for sure that it was not because the Israelites were so great that God opened the Red Sea. Not at all! It is because God is determined to save us, God is determined to bring us into the Promised Land, God wants to make us prosperous, God wants to make us abundant, God wants to lead us into the Promised Land.

Although those Israelites all died in the wilderness forty years later, not being strong in battle, fearing the people of the Promised Land, the people of Canaan were all giants, they were afraid, they didn’t know that they had authority in their hands, crossing the Red Sea was in vain. Today, you who have crossed the Red Sea, you must always remember that you have authority in your hands.

I tell you, brothers and sisters, do you know why we can get to this point today? It is because our God still reigns, our God always reigns.

Standing in God’s Perspective, Faith and Authority Go Together

Once, when I was in a very difficult situation, I was pleading with God, weeping and pleading with God, and God let me see a scene. I seemed to be suddenly lifted up, and then suddenly floating in the air, the earth became smaller and smaller in front of me, as if lifted to a very high place. Suddenly there was an image in my mind, if we stood on God’s throne and looked down, what would we see? All we see are very, very small problems.

But when we stand on the earth, not knowing that we have authority in our hands, and not knowing that God still reigns in the universe, we go crazy, we are afraid, we plead, we are uncomfortable. But when I saw that God still reigns in this world, my heart regained that peace, that comfortable state.

When do I not believe in God, when am I uncomfortable; when do I believe that God reigns in this world, when am I at peace. Whether we do right or do wrong, it doesn't matter at all, God still reigns. But you and I must know one thing in our hearts, that is, I love God, I am willing to receive the Mingding Destiny (命定) that God has given us, it doesn't matter whether we are right or wrong.

I am really thankful to God for one thing. From 2008 to 2010, I used wrong methods to build the church, and God did not crush me to death, that was a very, very big mistake. Messing around, serving by relying on the flesh. But I repented quickly, thank God, when I was hitting walls from all sides and surrounded by enemies, I suddenly realized that I was doing wrong.

After I did wrong, I was not the kind who stiffened my neck and insisted that I was the Job of the contemporary era. At that time, I told myself that I was not at all, I was a contemporary sinner, I was the worst of sinners, but God still used me, because I really loved God, really wanted to serve God, really wanted to bring our Chinese people to God’s grace. But even though I went down the wrong path, God still did not crush me to death.

So what’s so great about your mistakes? Very, very small things, constantly learning in mistakes. It doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter, so brothers and sisters, you know that our God reigns in the universe, if we know that God reigns, many problems become very small.

There was a centurion who knew how authority worked. He said, Jesus, I am not worthy for you to come to my house, you just need to speak a word, issue an order. Because I have soldiers under me, and I am also under others, as long as they issue an order, I will execute it; when I issue an order, those under me will execute it.

Then today, Jesus, you are the God of the universe, as long as you issue an order in a very, very distant place, the problem will be solved. Sure enough, his servant was healed. Do you really believe it? Our God still reigns today, the Red Sea is in front of us, the Egyptian army is behind us, but do you know that you have the staff given by God in your hand? No matter how difficult the environment may be, you can still walk through it.

Yesterday, when I had lunch with that brother from Beijing, I knew that the situation he was in was not easy. The situation he was in was very similar to my situation a few years ago, making great contributions, but others didn’t recognize it, picking on him for small problems. Actually, it made me feel very uncomfortable, and later there was no way to continue, there was really no way to continue.

Everything was dark, unable to see where the road was, but today I have come through again. If you could live to today yesterday, you can live to tomorrow today. Do you believe it? I believe it, I believe it because there is a glorious hope in me, that the captives will be set free, the oppressed will be liberated, and that God’s people will be brought into God’s kingdom, and then become a blessing to this generation.

Lifting the Staff and Moving Forward, Faith Opens the Way

Thank God! When I believe, the road is in the authority in my hand, I raise the staff to the sea, and the sea will part. Of course, I am saying that when Moses raised the staff to the sea, the sea would part. You need to know how much God wants to work with people! How much God wants to work with you and me, as long as we raise the staff, God will follow our raising of the staff, and He will split the Red Sea.

Does God really listen to us? I tell you, God is truly a God who listens to prayer. What does the Bible say? As long as you believe that the God you pray to will accomplish it for you, God will surely accomplish it for you. Look how well this is said, so today you need to know for sure that this is God's promise, Those who believe will pick up snakes with their hands, that's what it means.

Conclusion

Stop pleading, stretch out your hand to the sea, and the road will open up. No matter how difficult the environment, the devil often releases lies, telling you that there is no road, telling you that there is no road, telling you that you will die, telling you that you can’t do it.

Today, you need to know that it is not whether you can do it or not, it is because we have the authority given by God in our hands, this authority can enable us to trample the enemy. Regardless of your situation, whether in ministry, service, pastoring, or in the workplace, or in the family, you must believe that God has already given you the staff.

Start training yourself with this tenacious character, whether in front of the Red Sea, or in front of the Egyptian army, in the midst of all kinds of persecutions, in the midst of all kinds of obstacles, you must know that there is a staff in your hand that God once gave to you and me. This staff is the love in our hearts when we first believed in God.

God, use me, use me, I am willing to serve you, I am willing to bring many people into your kingdom, to become your children, your people. That is the staff, that is the staff!

Many years ago, when Moses was in the Egyptian palace, that staff had already been given to him, that is called Mingding Destiny (命定). The forty years of herding sheep only molded Moses’ character. In fact, that staff followed Moses all the way from the time Moses received his Mingding Destiny (命定) until the crossing of the Red Sea.

The staff is Mingding Destiny (命定), and Mingding Destiny (命定) is our staff. So today, brothers and sisters, the day we begin to serve God becomes a day of the God-man. Our person has changed, no longer the original mortal, but has become a God-man.

When we stretch out our hand to the sea, the road will open up. God is such a God, the environment can mold your and my character, but the environment will not cut off our road, our road is in our hands. Stop pleading, start using the authority in your hands. Amen!
