1. Theme: To Set Us Free!

What is the purpose of believing in the Lord? To set us free! Many things hinder our freedom. When going for an interview, you might think, I really need this job, and that's a lack of freedom. Our God is so mighty and capable. He once led the Israelites, who were slaves in Egypt, out of Egypt. What can our God not do? If you need a job, God can create an opportunity for you. Whether you believe it or not is your choice. I choose to believe. We are set free because God is an almighty God, and we can break free from oppression.

I minister to a family where the husband had a relationship with a woman at the factory. The woman threatened him, saying, If you don't obey me, I'll reveal our affair. This brother was in great pain and lacked freedom. We have all strayed and offended God. We all have embarrassing pasts, and we often weaken today. If you were a pastor, what would you do? I told the brother to not care and to seek freedom. As a result, he came through it. I congratulate the brother for breaking free from oppression because God loves us, not because we did shameful things, but because our God defines that we should be set free. In this era and that era, whether a woman is a prostitute, Jesus loves us, and He also loves prostitutes. God does not care about these things; God wants us to be free. All our shameful deeds are placed on Jesus Christ. We believe in Jesus so that we may be set free.

Years ago, a sister trusted me very much. She told me, I slept with someone and was recorded. He wants me to sleep with him again, but I don't want to. I said, Sister, don't be afraid. Tell him, give me the video, and I'll put it online. I'll make sure you go to jail. Freedom is sovereignty and is non-negotiable. God wants us to break free from oppression. If it's shameful, so be it; we don't care. Freedom cannot be taken away. Freedom is supreme. When God created Adam and Eve, God saw that it was good because Adam did not oppress Eve. I have resolved many issues, not only destroying the devil in one strike but also freeing people from oppression. If you have shameful things, don't be afraid. You and I will make a right choice. Jesus paid all our debts for us so that we may be freed from oppression. Our Jesus went to the cross and was whipped. Did it hurt? Because He bore our pain, the devil has no right to accuse us and oppress us.

Many who preach the gospel become less free the more they believe. That is not the gospel that Paul preached; Paul's gospel is to set people free. If you have shameful things, don't be afraid. I also have shameful things. If you have an embarrassing past, I also have an embarrassing past. Today, you must make a free choice, handing all these embarrassing things over to God. God will bear them for us. The Lord Jesus died for us, was nailed to the cross, shed blood, and made sacrifices. It was very painful. What Jesus did was for our freedom. The devil can no longer oppress us, so we should not love face. If we love face, God has no way.

2. Scripture: Galatians 5:1

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1)

The devil likes to deprive people of their freedom the most. If a person has a bottom line inside, you are not a free person. I often hear people say, This is my bottom line; don't touch it. They jump up as soon as someone touches it. I have no bottom line inside; I am very free. Freedom is non-negotiable. Christ frees us to be free, and we must not be oppressed by the yoke of slavery.

3. Prayer

Lord Jesus, let Your truth appear before us again, and let Your Holy Spirit move among us. Lord, You love us and set us free. When You set us free, we obtain true freedom, releasing our thoughts and intentions, allowing us to truly gain freedom, gaining sovereignty over our lives. Lord Jesus, You do not oppress us. We love You and want to enter Your presence to be free.

4. How Do People Lose Freedom?

How did Adam and Eve lose their freedom? They listened to the devil's words and didn't even know how they lost it. God said that they would die if they ate that fruit. They thought it was physical death, but it was actually spiritual death. From that time on, death began to enter people's hearts, and fear and shame entered into them. The thoughts inside people caused them to lose their freedom. We must remove the thoughts inherited from Adam and Eve, remove this shame, love of face, and for the sake of freedom, we must discard them all.

If someone asks you to borrow money, you lose freedom because of face and reluctance to refuse, and under social pressure.

How do people lose freedom? It is by eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which produces a sense of shame and love of face. I encourage everyone not to love face, to have a thick skin, and you will be free, breaking through the important link of distinguishing good and evil. After we eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, we form a set of concepts. We must remove the things of distinguishing good and evil.

Repairing intentions is a concept that makes people free. The best healing and deliverance starts with transforming people's thoughts and intentions, setting them free. Thoughts and intentions are the easiest place for the devil to work since human life needs freedom, and losing freedom is painful.

Like a prison where there is food and drink, but no freedom. Our thoughts and intentions are spiritual, and I must shatter those intentions of distinguishing good and evil inherited from Adam and Eve. For example, students who have just finished the college entrance examination think a lot. The key is that whether or not to take the college entrance examination is one thing, but gaining freedom is very important, so that a person's potential can be brought into play.

Some time ago, there was a sister whose father insisted on sending her to study in Australia. I encouraged her to quickly find a job, and she found one with a very good salary. I did something that turned stone into gold. We were originally wood but became gold. There is nothing better than this. Setting people free is the work of turning stone into gold, releasing people's potential. Some people are able to do this thing, but they cannot do it because they are afraid. If a surgeon is afraid and their hands tremble, they cannot do this job.

The problem is that children taking the college entrance examination is one thing, but freedom is a more important thing. The college entrance examination actually devastated many children. Some time ago, I suggested that a child not go to college, but the parents disagreed. I am actually doing something that turns stone into gold. We now want to turn stone into gold.

The potential inside people is truly enormous, and people's freedom is very important. Some people are afraid of this and some people are afraid of that. Chinese football is likely to go up. The reason it couldn't go up before was because of fear. If you can release the confidence of your team, that's great!

Our God created these people, but their potential was killed by the knowledge of good and evil. In English, there is a saying: JUST DO IT! What is so terrible about love of face, shame, etc.? Just do it! Constantly restore God's glory! Our potential is in Jesus Christ. If you bring Jesus Christ into our lives, that's amazing!

It's the job that needs you, not you that need the job! We should not think to the point of entering oppression! Distinguishing good and evil is manifested in all aspects, and shirking responsibility is also one of them!

5. The Original Purpose of the Gospel Is to Restore Our Freedom

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another in love. (Galatians 5:13)

God calls us to restore our freedom and to enjoy the glorious freedom of the children of God. When we regain freedom, we truly receive grace! Jesus Christ is doing one thing, which is to set us free. When the Egyptians were slaves, God set them free, because God's original purpose was to give us freedom.

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, (Isaiah 61:1)

The words above in the Bible are to set people free. Are not the brokenhearted in the knowledge of good and evil?

The Spirit of the Lord will anoint us, and tell us to preach good news to the humble, bringing people out of the freedom of distinguishing good and evil. The gospel is the power of God to make people free. Do you want to be free today? Then break your flesh!

God led us out of Egypt to lead us into the promised land, a land flowing with milk and honey. We must now begin to fight and triumph. Anointing is receiving Mingding Doctrine! This is the purpose of God's redemption. We now must begin to know that we must preach the gospel, and preaching the gospel is the task God has given us.

We must now do things by faith and listen by faith. The gospel we preach must release people from oppression and bad habits. Listening with a mind for distinguishing good and evil is useless. Have faith in God that God is a good God, a God who sets us free. Our God is for our benefit. We must have wonderful hopes and divine hopes. But, if it's not very good, we don't care.

6. Fear Makes People Lose Freedom

Fear makes us lose freedom. There cannot be fear or worry in Christians. Don't be afraid of this or that. Many people are afraid of death, afraid of losing, afraid of becoming leftover women, and afraid of not being able to marry. All of these are fears and do not come from God. We must now be strong. We must begin to choose not to be afraid. Cowardice does not come from God, and cowardice is very deadly. What God has given us is not a spirit of timidity. Everyone choose not to be afraid and try it out. If you are not afraid, nothing will actually happen. Fear brings the devil, and what you fear will come. If you're afraid, even the dogs on the road will know. Know that God reigns in your life, so there is nothing to be afraid of! Not even death. We must begin to have the faith of if I die, I die.

I once preached a sermon called The Faith of If I Die, I Die. I want to die every day, but I can't die; people who are afraid of death every day live very hard. A friend of mine encountered a cold wave on a plane that wanted to make an forced landing and gave people small black boxes. That friend was terrified, but the plane still landed safely. If it were me, I would guide you, stand up, and tell everyone not to be afraid! I am a person of God, and this plane will land safely. Everyone follow me in prayer. God will surely protect us.

Don't be afraid of anything today. The teachings of Christ must also remove our fears. When I used to climb mountains, I might find a broken temple to take shelter from the rain, afraid of nothing. The weapon to deal with fear is to believe that God is absolutely in control of our lives. If God is for us, who can be against us? God has given us all authority in heaven and on earth, and even the devils are afraid of us, so what is there to fear? Blackmail? Don't be afraid!

If you owe someone money, you decide when to pay it back, don't be afraid!

7. Customs Make People Lose Freedom

in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. (Ephesians 2:2)

The customs of this world are things that make people lose freedom. In previous years, the most fashionable thing was class reunions. You had to go whether you wanted to or not. There are many customs in this world, and anything that is not the word of God is a custom of this world. For example, when people die, paper money must be burned. These are all customs of this world. Do you ask them if they know why they do this? They seem to know, but they also seem not to know. One of our sisters' grandmothers died when she was six years old, and her parents made her kneel and worship in front of the coffin. As a result, she contracted a spirit of death and later suffered from severe depression.

Following the customs of this world is obeying the ruler of the kingdom of the air, which is the spirit of the dragon. There can be no negotiation on freedom. Someone's classmate's child is getting married, and they have to give a gift. If they don't want to go, then don't go, because that is the custom of this world. What exactly do you live by today? If you live by relationships, you should not be oppressed.

8. Relationships Can Also Make People Lose Freedom

People in the world have to do things against their will. For example, corruption is the norm in relationships. This is very deadly. You have to do things against your conscience, and after you get to prison, it is considered coming out of the world.

Becoming oppressed in relationships. My mother and sister once oppressed each other. If my sister was not good, she would not be good, either. This is a relationship that makes people lose freedom.

9. Illnesses Make Us Lose Freedom

When evil spirits live in people's body parts, their muscles become stiff and can deform their bodies. Your body cannot grow as it was originally meant to grow. We do healing and deliverance to free people from diseases, so that they can have freedom, not only removing the freedom of thoughts and intentions but also freeing their bodies.

10. Being a Child Makes It Impossible for Us to Enjoy Freedom

What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father. So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces of the world. (Galatians 4:1-3)

Being an immature Christian, your pastor makes all kinds of requests of you. When you grow up and no one makes requests of you, you will know what you can do and what you cannot do. If you are a child, you cannot inherit the inheritance of God.

until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. (Ephesians 4:13)

You must grow up and mature, and the church allows brothers and sisters to grow. You must thirst for the word of God so that God can make your life grow. Our God needs us to grow up and mature to do what Jesus did. That is God's will, to become like the Son of God. God gives you authority, and you will not abuse it. Authority is given to mature people.

11. This Gospel Is the Power to Save All Who Believe

We need to grow from a child's faith to maturity and kill the devil instantly. Believing brings freedom and obtains the power of God. God causes us to constantly grow and be full of the measure of Jesus Christ!
