【Bible Study】Genesis Chapter 6 - The Way of Destruction and Salvation

2022-10-21 80,904 Genesis Genesis 6 Genesis Chapter 6 The Spiritual Realm Spiritual Carnal Destruction

Introduction

Good day to everyone. Let's turn to Genesis chapter 6. Genesis chapter 6 reveals a very interesting truth called The Way of Destruction and Salvation. Destruction and salvation run throughout human history. Through Genesis chapter 6, God shows us how the path of destruction is walked, and also allows us to see how the path of salvation is walked.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must know that God created two kinds of people: those who are destined for destruction and those who are destined for salvation. If you want to be a person destined for destruction, it is easy – just live like the people of the world, living for the sake of living. But if you want to be saved, then you must carefully ponder how the path of salvation is walked out. Even today, I feel that many among us are still filled with admiration for the mighty and famous who are destined for destruction.

Think about it, for example, when a child's mother sees that her child is not doing well in school, she becomes very anxious. When she sees that other people's children are doing exceptionally well and are top students, she feels very sad. But people rarely investigate how those top students live later in life. It seems they don't live particularly well. So after investigating, would you still want to be that kind of person? This is quite interesting. I can give many examples. What we humans investigate is still far from enough, but if you investigate more, you will come to a conclusion: Do you want to be like Noah, or do you want to be like the mighty and famous people of that generation who were full of violence? You have to make this choice yourself. So it seems we have not understood the logic revealed in the Bible particularly well.

See if your children are being caught up in the rat race of academic achievement, feeling miserable as a result. There are only two paths in this world: one is the path of destruction, and the other is the path of salvation. Which path will you take today? A few days ago, I saw a video describing what happened to top scorers in the national college entrance examination (Gaokao) from various places. Many of these top scorers seem to have not lived well in their lives. I don't know if anyone among us has investigated this matter. Not only do they not live well, but they also cannot withstand setbacks. What if they are top scorers today but not tomorrow?

When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is fleshly: his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown. The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. So the Lord said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the ground, man and beast and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.” (Genesis 6:1-6)

Let's analyze the path of destruction. We carefully ponder it. First, they are fleshly and carnal, and they are very powerful and violent people. Their actions and thoughts are corrupt. They have children with the sons of God and become the mighty men of renown. God's Spirit will not abide in them forever. The path of salvation is only Noah. Noah walked with God. God's Spirit did not leave him. His thoughts and actions were all according to God's logical framework, living by relying on God. He did whatever God commanded, and God established a covenant with him.

Spiritual or Carnal

Whether a person is spiritual or carnal determines whether you are destined for destruction or for salvation. If you are a carnal person, living and planning for carnal things, all your planning will lead to destruction. A spiritual person sees through the fact that people live and then die, so they no longer live for carnal things. They eat and drink, but they do not live for their flesh; they live by relying on God.

So in the New Testament, what is the use of baptism, whether it is in a bathhouse, a swimming pool, a ditch, or even if you buy a plane ticket and travel a long way to the Jordan River to be baptized? It is of little use. In the end, it still depends on whether you are a carnal, fleshly person or a spiritual person. The way of life of a carnal person is very interesting. If anyone threatens their life, threatens their carnal existence, that won't do. If you threaten my life, then I will get rid of you. This is Cain and Lamech, and in the end, they also died. Carnal and fleshly versus spiritual and godly – these are two completely different kinds of people. A spiritual person knows that they will definitely leave this world in the future, so they no longer live for the sake of living, and they no longer care about living.

I have seen many Christians who are afraid of death. Are there any among us who are afraid of death? Preparing for carnal things all day long. What to eat, what to drink, where to live, what to use, investing, managing finances, accumulating a lot of things, and then retiring, planning, achieving financial freedom – does this exist? If so, ask yourself whether you are a vessel of destruction or a vessel of salvation. A vessel of salvation knows that living is meaningless, so they need God, and they seek God, hoping that God can save them. This is Noah's logic.

Some Christians I have met are full of interest in carnal things. But after reading God's word, they feel nothing about spiritual things. There are even Christians who have been believers for 20 years and have never read the Bible. I asked them, How many years have you been a believer? They said, Twenty years. I said, What have you been doing? They said, I serve God. I said, How do you serve God? They said, I cook for the brothers and sisters in the church. This is quite interesting. You cook for the brothers and sisters, which is quite carnal. Are there any among us who cook for the brothers and sisters in the church? Cooking for twenty years without a clear understanding of God's word, living in confusion.

I want to tell everyone that a spiritual person sees through everything. The first thing they see through is life and death. They have no great interest in living. Physical existence becomes meaningless to a spiritual person. Taking spiritual things and life and death very seriously is what it means to be spiritual. If you truly inherit Chinese Mingding Destiny, you will despise living. You will say that living is a simple thing, making money is a simple thing.

“My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is fleshly.” (Genesis 6:3)

Strong or Weak

Let us reflect on whether we have the logic of the strong or the logic of the weak. If you want to be a strong person, a mighty man of renown, then you are a vessel of destruction. If you are very clear that you are a weak person, then you need God, and you need to be strong through God.

Observe carefully that in our generation, since the twentieth century, there has been the First World War. Do you know why they fought? For money, to compete for resources in the world. But the people who fought in the First World War are gone. Why was there the Second World War? For money. It was all for the sake of living. Where did those who fought in the Second World War go? Some became war criminals and were sent to the gallows, like Hideki Tojo or Hitler. The victor is king, the loser is a bandit. If Hideki Tojo and Hitler had won, they would have sent the Allied forces to the gallows. The world is like this, whether you like it or not. Those who fought in the Second World War for money and resources, for the sake of living, ultimately did not survive. This is the logic of the strong.

If you worship top students in school, but you can't beat them in video games or in studies, the result is that you become entangled, frustrated, and sad. Why? Because you admire these strong people. But the problem is that they don't know that these strong people ultimately face destruction. It seems that being weak has become an advantage. Because you know that you are a weak person, so you know that you need God! A strong person doesn't need God much. Have you ever seen a strong person needing to trust in God?

Actually, I have made this matter quite clear. Are there still many among us who like to be a strong person? Who like to be a mighty man of renown? This is not an easy turn to make. When I was young, I particularly admired people like Zhuge Liang, who could frown, calculate with his fingers, and come up with a plan. He was simply amazing! He gave Liu Bei and Zhao Yun three brocade pouches. The Prime Minister was incredibly prescient. As a result, he campaigned east and west for his whole life, launching six expeditions to Mount Qi, and eventually died on the Wuzhang Plains in his fifties. Later, I understood that I cannot be that kind of person.

Some people have children and hope that their children will be like Zhuge Liang, which is the logic of a strong person. Then other people have children and hope that they will be like Sun Quan. People in this generation worship strong people. It is simply the main culture of this generation. For example, Qin Shi Huang was very powerful. But I have now lived longer than Qin Shi Huang and longer than Zhuge Liang. I have already lived longer than them. If our brothers and sisters live past sixty, you will all live longer than them. Actually, comparing in this way is meaningless. What I am saying is, what exactly is in your mind? If you only think that Zhuge Liang was amazing, then you are finished! You have become a vessel of destruction.

Everyone in Noah's generation was swept away by the flood, and only Noah's family of eight was saved. So are you a weak person or a violent person? When we read about Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Bible, do you know the logic system within them? What was Abraham's logic system? His wife was taken away, but he trusted in God and believed that God would surely protect him, so he did not fight. He did not live by the sword. Think carefully: Abraham's logic system was not to fight, not the logic of a strong person. Isaac was also not a strong person. His wells were taken away. If they were taken away, they were taken away. I will not take them back; I will dig another one. It was taken away again, so I dug another one; it was taken away again, so I dug another one. As a result, Isaac happened to encounter a year of famine that year, and in that year of famine, Isaac had a hundredfold harvest.

Please tell me, is it better to rely on God or to rely on your own flesh, like the strongman logic system of Cain and Lamech? Of course, it is better to rely on God! So let's start adjusting. Let others be their top students; let others be their strong people; let others be amazing. Let's not idly join in the rat race with others. Someone said to me, Teacher, someone as amazing as you is fortunate to serve God. If someone as shrewd as you did not serve God, how many people would you harm? Everyone's concerns are superfluous. My kind of shrewdness is a kind of weak shrewdness. When have you ever seen me fighting with someone, grabbing you by the collar and pulling your hair?

When I was young, I knew to walk with my head down, not the kind of head-down that involves playing with your phone. People at that time didn't have phones or watches; they didn't have anything to look at. Why did I look down? Because you can't look around blindly. My living environment was too cruel when I was young. There were many very powerful campus bullies at that time, not top students. If you looked up, they would ask, What are you looking at? If I replied, What if I'm looking at you? then there would be big trouble. Those local thugs would stab you with a knife. I could only walk with my head down because I was weak, but this is called weak shrewdness!

Because I am weak, I am not entangled when others do better than me in their studies. I am not entangled when others score higher than me on exams. What do I care about those things? I have never joined the rat race with others since I was young. The strong have a logic of competition, but they are easily caught up in the rat race. As for whether others have been caught up in the rat race because of me, I don't know. I only know that I don't compare myself with others. I thank God! I also thank my mother! My mother often said to me, Child, don't work too hard. My mother didn't care much about my studies either. She thought it was fine to study like this and that I just needed to get by. Later, when I went to university, I told my mother that I could take the postgraduate entrance exam after graduating, and my mother said to me, What do you want to do with that? It's good enough to have a college degree.

Everyone thinks I am very self-disciplined. If your child is not self-disciplined, don't get him caught up in the rat race either. What am I saying? I am fortunate to have God. My whole life has been that of a weak person, never competing with others. Since I was young, I had a dream that everyone could have a soccer ball. Why? Because when I played soccer on the field, I couldn't even kick the ball after playing for a whole game. I couldn't snatch the ball all the time, so I thought how fun it would be if everyone had a ball! I am telling a joke here. But if it were an ordinary child, wouldn't they be caught up in the rat race? I thank God! I didn't take it to heart that I couldn't kick the ball.

What is the problem? The problem is that I have a concept inside that it doesn't matter that I have never been good since I was young! Later, I knew that it's great to have God when you're as weak as I am! When you're as weak as I am, you don't compete with people, and you don't snatch from people. Since I was young, my mother has always been very assured of me, knowing that I wouldn't cause trouble when I went out. I also don't look at people, and I don't say to people, What are you looking at? I never fought with people. One of my classmates was actually stabbed to death when I was young. I was naturally sensible, and I didn't know why I was like this. But I knew that I couldn't beat others. Was there any other way? I was a good child.

Later, I found that living was not very meaningful. After getting to know God, I treated God as a treasure. My weakness has become strength. I have become stronger, but I don't go against others; I haven't become a 杠精 quarrelsome person. I don't go against others, and I don't argue or fight. If the boss has work that no one wants to do, I will do it, and I will do it well. As a result, I found that this is called shrewdness. Never be a strong person, and don't thirst to be a strong person. If you thirst to be a strong person, you are also on the path of destruction! We must often boast of our weaknesses and not boast of our strengths. Because carnal people take their own abilities as the foundation, while spiritual people take God's abilities as the foundation, turning carnal weakness into spiritual strength.

What One Thinks Determines Destruction or Salvation

What one thinks is our logical system. What one thinks determines destruction or salvation. If you think, I want to be Genghis Khan; I want to be Qin Shi Huang; I want to be Emperor Wu of Han, or if someone says, I want to surpass all of them, including Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han, then is the final result good or bad? From the history we learned in elementary school, we feel that these people were all very amazing! What exactly are you thinking about? The intentions of the thoughts of your heart is only evil continually.

Do you know what it means to be only evil continually? It means that everything you think about is yourself: I want to get this; I want to get that. If you can't get it, you will join the rat race with others. If I want to get something and you get it, then I can't get it. There is only one first place in the class. If he is first place, then you are not first place. Isn't this fatal? The education we have received since childhood is, A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. From a young age, we have to cross a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops, and those who don't make it all fall into the river. Actually, it is all wrong.

What does Chinese Mingding Destiny pursue? I want to be a blessing to others; I want to bless them; I want to give them benefits. When everyone gradually understands these things, do you think it will be chaotic? Everyone knows that our Chinese Mingding Destiny is a systematic theology. Why is it systematic? We must know that this is a logical system. What people think in their heads is that the earth is only so big; there is only so much oil; there is only so much gas. If you grab more, then I will get less. If you get less, then I will grab and obtain more, and that's all there is to it.

Everyone knows that there is a game called a zero-sum game. The market is only so big. If you want to get more of the market, you have to make your competitors lose some of the market. When you think like this, the intention of the thoughts of your heart is only evil continually. But if it is not this set of logic, what set of logic is it? My set of logic is that I always give out. If I always give out, who will give to me? God will give to me. The system we live in today is not a closed system, but an open system. It is not a zero-sum game; it is a multiplication game.

Do you know why? Because God injects resources into it. If you count the resources that God injects from heaven, then there will be no zero-sum game on earth; it will be multiplied. When people come to our Chinese Mingding Destiny, many are blessed. Why? Because the heavenly resources are open to you, and you have the keys to the kingdom of heaven in your hand. Do you know how Jesus defined the church? When Jesus defined the church, He defined it as giving you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. What are the keys for? The keys can open the gates of heaven. It's not just one key but a bunch. If you are a steward holding a bunch of keys, when you open the door and this warehouse is full of gold, and you open another warehouse and it is full of silver, you are incredible, right?

What are the keys to the kingdom of heaven given to you for? So that you can draw on the resources of heaven! This is powerful in my research results. I tell you that today, if you form a logic of the keys to the kingdom of heaven—the resources on earth are limited, but the resources of God's kingdom are unlimited—when you calculate in this way, you often think, I want to bring the resources of the kingdom of heaven to earth to be a blessing to others. The more I bless others, the more heavenly resources I will get. The more I get, the more I will give out. The more I give out, the more I will get from the kingdom of heaven. I ask you, will your minds still be full of evil?

Why is it so difficult to give out when your mind is full of ways to just take? That's what they think. Then there are other people who think, How come this thing is in his hands? I have to take it away; This vineyard is good; I have to get it; This oil field is good; I have to get it; This natural gas is good; I have to get it; This natural resource of iron ore is good; I have to get it! Everything is good. People are just circling to seize territory, to see which country has more land, to see which country has more resources on its land, etc. Oh! People's thinking must change!

In this generation, are you yearning to be a blessing to others, or are you yearning to take resources from others? We must have a clear concept. Let me give you a wonderful example of God's work. A long time ago, they said that the world's oil would run out by such and such a year. Ten years later, the news came out that an oil field had been discovered in such and such a place, containing so many billions of tons of oil. Later, they said that the oil would be used up in thirty years. After those thirty years passed, everyone discovered oil fields again.

I was wondering, wasn't it proven that the oil was not enough at that time? At that time, they did drill an eye here and drill an eye there, doing an investigation here and an investigation there. After the investigation, they said that there was no oil in this place. How did it suddenly become full of oil later? Because that resource is determined by God. If God says there is, then there is. So don't worry that there won't be enough oil in this world. When I was young, some people said that the population of this earth could not increase anymore; after it increased, the resources of this earth would not be enough. Later, China had 1.4 billion people and no one starved, right? Isn't that amazing? Isn't it true that the earth can sustain another 10 billion or 20 billion people? Because God supplies the resources for people to live.

A couple came to me weeping after the wife became pregnant! They were still wiping their tears when they came to me. I said, Why are you crying? They said, This child will have to live a hard life with me after he is born. We have no money! I said, The child comes with his own provisions. People are raised by God. So once you think that resources are limited, then it's bad. You will think about taking resources from others. Today, we have to change. The thoughts in our minds must be about the resources of heaven. The resources of our heavenly Father's house are unlimited. Especially preachers, their hearts cannot be poor.

Brothers and sisters, you must know that the church is not supported by your offerings. The church is supported by God. God gives us too many resources. If you feel that the church is supported by you, then there is a problem. I met a businessman who lost all his money. Why did he lose it all? Because he wanted to do business to support those poor preachers. Everyone must know that poor preachers are poor because they have no Dao; what they preach is not the Dao, so they are poor. He wanted to support these preachers who had no Dao, and as a result, he lost all his money. He called me and said, Pray for my money. I have never heard of praying for your money. I said, What is there to pray for your money? He said, All my money is gone.

I felt that how could people not know that the heavenly Father is rich? Everyone must know, don't be silly. Never use your money to support preachers; preachers are supported by heaven. You must develop a solid foundation of truth. Why were people violent at that time? Because they were seizing resources. Why were they seizing resources? In order to live well, but in fact, they didn't live well. Whether you live well or not is determined by God.

Since ancient times, there have only been two paths: the path of destruction and the path of blessing. Which path you take is closely related to what you think in your head. You say that you can't do anything without money, but in fact, life without God is fatal! What's the use of having money? Some time ago, a particularly wealthy person got a disease and came all the way from Indonesia to Singapore for treatment. They used the best medicine and the best treatment, lived in the most expensive hospital in Singapore, and spent millions, which is worth several million in RMB, but they still died. They used the best medicine - look at that brain! Can money really save people? Money cannot save people. If people's thinking is wrong, their actions cannot be right.

Human Behaviour

And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. (Genesis 6:12)

Noah did everything as God commanded him. Was it faith or works? It was the human thought that guided human behaviour. Some time ago, someone told me something interesting. He said, Teacher, I am willing to lay down my life for God. I love God very much. I said, You love God very much and are willing to lay down your life for him, so why don't you tithe? He said, Tithing is a bit difficult, but laying down my life for God is not difficult. After hearing this, I felt something was wrong! What kind of logic is this? It's deceptive logic! He values money over life, thinking money is more important than life. When you offer your life to God, money becomes unimportant because life is gone. That was his reasoning. This person, who has no Mingding Destiny, says he loves God very much. Later, I said, Go somewhere else and love God properly.

What kind of behaviour you have, dictates what kind of thought system you have. There is a joke saying somebody said, If I had a billion dollars, I would give it all to you. If I had a hundred million, I would give it all to you too. Someone then asked, Can you give me your car then! He said, I cannot give you that. Why can't he give away the car? Because I actually own the car. What I really have, I cannot give away. What I don't have, I can say anything, because I don't have ten billion anyway. This is just incredible, the logic. Therefore people’s thoughts and behaviours are closely linked. He's back again recently. Why? Can he avoid destruction with this logic system? It will certainly lead to destruction and curses, that is why he came back to the church.

The Spiritual Realm

When it comes to the spiritual realm, people eventually conclude that the spiritual world is very real. Because the spiritual realm is very real, they will seek guidance from the White Dragon King to make their acting career better, in order to achieve their goals of becoming an actor. And those who do business are closely related to the spiritual realm. Businessmen worship a lot. I once visited a city where they drove past a street. He said, The buildings on both sides of this street were bought by a certain company. I thought it was incredible. This guy has trillions of assets! The boss with trillions of assets has built a large idol hall in the company, filled with idols, and employees have to worship them. Another large real estate company does the same.

There was a Christian working in their company, and the boss said, You must worship my idols, then our business will be good. Does this occur to you as strange? It's not somewhere else but in mainland China. The Christians there experienced great tension because the spiritual realm is very powerful. But the problem arises. Isn't it strange? They know there is a spiritual realm, but they do not know there is eternal life. They are preparing only for this life. They also know that one day they will turn to dust, and all these things will become fleeting clouds, but they still worship. They live entirely for the things of this life, engaging with the spiritual realm, worshipping idols, and even raising ghost servants.

Does the spiritual realm like to communicate with people? Yes, the spiritual realm enjoys that. Many of our brothers and sisters have terrible things in their minds. They even ask me, Teacher, why is it effective for him to worship idols? I said, If it's effective, then you just do it too! These things in the spiritual realm also like to find people. You know, among the mighty men of old, they had six fingers and six toes. Even in David's time, it was like that. Goliath, whom David killed, was a giant, one of the great men. It wasn't just six fingers on the hands, but both feet also had six toes. Isn't that powerful? Back then, all the giants were like that, with twenty-four digits on their bodies, and they were all enormous.

Where did these people come from? They were born from the sons of God cohabiting with the daughters of men, giving birth to such beings. These things are closely related to the spiritual realm, and they are all mighty, famous, and very powerful people. Isn't this the spiritual realm at work? As this spiritual realm continues to influence, people become more and more corrupt. Why? Imagine if your neighbour is a mighty and famous man, and he says your house is his house. Eventually, you will be driven out. Your land will become his land, and you can't defeat him. It's too much to handle.

So, in Noah's time, there were many mighty and famous people on earth who were engaging in the spiritual realm. As a result, some people became like Yang Bailao, extremely poor. They don't care if you are poor or not; they only care about themselves. That's how it is. So, where did the sons of God come from? We cannot investigate that. However, we can know that these things are closely related to the spiritual realm. Let's not investigate who the sons of God are, but I'll tell you that Satan is also a son of God. Satan is also among the sons of God. This is the spiritual realm, but Noah also engaged in the spiritual realm. Noah engaged with God's spiritual realm, while these people engaged with the devil's spiritual realm. By engaging with the devil's spiritual realm, they became vessels of destruction. By engaging with God's spiritual realm, walking with God, they were saved by God.

That is to say, today we must see clearly how Noah was saved and how the people of that generation brought about their own destruction. We must make the right choice! Could the mighty men bully Noah? They couldn't, because God protected him. People who walk with God, even if the generation is chaotic, others cannot harm you. When those people thought about harming you, they would feel uncomfortable, and they would stop. If God is with you, people cannot harm you. There was a pastor who was later arrested, and many people thought he was suffering for God. Do you think he was suffering for God? No. I know his classmate. His classmate told me, Do you think he was suffering for God? No. He hung a large banner in the church, prohibiting speaking in tongues. By prohibiting speaking in tongues, do you think God wouldn't send the government to deal with him? Later, he sat in jail for a few years. Who dealt with him while he was in jail? God dealt with him. Even demons must obey God's words.

Everyone must know that although these powerful people are very formidable, can God manage them? God absolutely can manage them. God can not only destroy them but also manage them. He will prevent them from thinking that way so they cannot harm Noah. Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must know, which spiritual realm is good to engage with? It is good to engage with God's spiritual realm. If God is standing next to you as you walk with Him, who can harm you? No one can harm you.

I think this sharing on Genesis chapter 6 is different from my previous sharing. After summarizing the sharing, I am not dwelling on what angels are. The most important thing is to hope that brothers and sisters can make a wise choice, and from now on, no longer carry a logic system of the strong, but live with a godly logic system. If you are powerful and have God's presence, even when the whole world is destroyed, you will not be destroyed. Why? Because you walk with God! Have you seen people constantly expanding their territory? Noah was still occupying that small piece of land. People expanded till death. Those who do well in academically, will hit the books till death. Play computer games to win the world championship, play hard. Run a businesses well, to become a world-renowned enterprise, operate well. What does it have to do with us? Nothing at all. Shouldn't we just walk well with God?

Turning living into a simple thing, that is a smart choice. Fortunately, you are not academic stars, and you are not corporate tycoons in the business world, and you are not political strongmen in the political world. Then I congratulate you, you are a weak person like me. Then let's learn from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. No longer live by the sword, but rely on God's protection, relying on our pleasing God, that will be great. From now on, know that you cannot protect yourself. Only God can protect us and save us, then it will be easy to handle.

Summary

Therefore, brothers and sisters, dedicating yourselves to God and becoming people with Mingding Destiny is an incomparably good choice. Even if the whole world in Noah's generation was destroyed, God still saves us. Because who to destroy and who to save is up to God. So let go of our mentality of envying other people's children going to international schools, because our children go to spiritual schools; other people's children find the best tutoring, but our children do not need tutoring; other people's children are world champions, but our own children are not champions of anything. That's good, is there a problem? No problem! Because all these things in this life are not important. If they are not important, what am I competing for? Learn from my mother. My mother often said to me: Child, don't exhaust yourself.

After I say this, do the mothers among us feel a little more relaxed? Stop forcing your kids to do those things. Don't exhaust yourself. If the child is too carnal, you can deal with it. We do not have to make the child so entangled and uncomfortable. If you force the kids to compete, it becomes unmanageable. Those who could have learned a little better, what could have answered 60 marks, now becomes 20 marks after so much competition. Those who could have gotten 80 marks, now only get 40 marks.

There is a brother among us who is very interesting. His eldest son originally wanted to go to college in the United States, which would cost a lot of money. As a result, the pandemic came, and he started working. God! The guy is now working which is not bad, otherwise what is the use of studying that thing. Being a third-rate student in a third-rate university, I don't know what to do after I graduate. It is better to quickly get some ability to make a living. Some of us did not know 2 plus 3 will be 8, but now are working anyway, and live a good life. Let others do theirs, and we'll do our own. Others rely on their own abilities, we rely on God. Cried endlessly before. We are relaxed today, then encourages the child to become a person who trust God. Become a vessel of salvation, not a vessel of destruction.

Others look up and worry, we look down and don't worry. Otherwise, what are you looking at? You want to fight? As a result, you come back with a few more scars on your head. What are you trying to achieve? If things are taken away, they are taken away. There are more in my Father's house, they cannot be taken again later. Because God gives you a wide place. Do you feel relaxed after hearing this? Relaxed. In the workplace, don't get entangled with others. In the workplace, do what you should do well. We don't compare with this or that.

Some people see that the people in their department are very powerful, which makes them depressed. As a result, people from other departments come, making them even more depressed. What kind of nonsense is this? How wonderful it is to have God in our lives, how happy it is to have God in our lives! Relaxed, carefree, looking down on everything, God takes care of us, and then walk the path of walking with God. Think about God's words in our minds and do things that please God in our actions. We do as God tells us.

May God bless everyone!

Genesis Chapter 6

6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
6:3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6:6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
6:7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
6:10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
6:11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
6:12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
6:13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
6:14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
6:15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
6:16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
6:18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
6:19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
6:20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
6:21 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
6:22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

《创世记》第六章揭示了一个重要的真理,关于毁灭和拯救。毁灭和拯救贯穿了人类的历史,神通过这章让我们看到遭毁灭的路和蒙拯救的路。 神造了两种人,一种是遭毁灭的人,一种是得拯救的人。若想成为遭毁灭的人,只需随波逐流,像世人一样生活。若想蒙拯救,则需认真思考蒙拯救的路。如今,许多人仍对那些遭毁灭的英武有名的人充满羡慕。 比如,一个孩子的妈妈看到自己的孩子学习不太好,会很着急。看到别人的孩子是学霸,心里就难受。但很少有人去考察,那些学霸后来生活得怎么样。考察后,你是否还愿意成为这样的人呢?这是一个值得思考的问题。我们人考察的东西还不够多,但如果考察多了,就会得出一个结论,是要做挪亚这样的人,还是做那个世代英武有名充满强暴的人,这需要自己做选择。《圣经》里启示的这些逻辑,我们可能没有很好地领悟。 看看孩子们是否被学习好的压力所困扰,人在世上只有两条路,一条是遭毁灭的路,另一条是蒙拯救的路,今天你要走哪条路?有一个视频描述了各地高考状元的后续生活,很多状元的一生似乎过得不太好。他们不仅生活得不好,还无法承受打击。今天是状元,明天不是了怎么办呢?

分析遭毁灭的路,首先是属乎肉体、属血气的,是很厉害和强暴的人。行为和思想都败坏了,跟神的儿子们交合生子,就成了英武有名的人,神的灵就不永远住在他里面。蒙拯救的路只有挪亚一个人,挪亚与神同行,神的灵没有离开他,他的思想和行为都是照着神的逻辑体系,靠着神活着。神怎么吩咐他就怎么行,神就与他立约。 一个人属灵还是属肉体,决定了是遭毁灭还是蒙拯救。如果一个人属肉体,活着就为属肉体的事打算,结果也都是灭亡。属灵的人看透了人活着活着就死了,就不再为属肉体的事活,他也吃也喝,但不是为他的肉体活着,而是靠着神活。

在新约圣经里的受洗,不管是在澡堂里受洗,在游泳池里受洗,在河沟里受洗,或者买了一张机票大老远跑约旦河去受洗,这些东西有用吗?没什么用。最后还得看是属肉体属血气的人,还是属灵的人。属肉体的人活法很有意思,谁威胁到了他的生活,威胁到了他属肉体活着这件事,那不行。如果威胁到他活着,那他就会反击,这就是该隐和拉麦,最后他们也死了。属肉体、属血气还是属灵、属神,这是两种截然不同的人。属灵的人知道将来一定会离开这个世界,就不再为活着而活着,也不在乎活着这事儿了。 见过很多怕死的基督徒,整天为属肉体的事预备着。吃什么,喝什么,住什么,用什么,投资、理财,整一大堆的东西,然后就退休、计划、财务自由。如果有的话,问问自己,是遭毁灭的器皿还是蒙拯救的器皿。蒙拯救的器皿一定知道人活着是毫无意义的,所以需要神,才去寻求神,希望神能够拯救他,这就是挪亚的逻辑。

见到一些基督徒,对属肉体的事充满了兴趣,但读神的话,对属灵的事没什么感觉。有些信主二十年的基督徒没读过《圣经》。问他信主多少年了,他说二十年。我问他都做了些什么,他说服侍神。我问他怎么服侍神的,他说到教会给弟兄姐妹煮饭。这事挺有意思,给弟兄姐妹煮饭挺属肉体的,有没有在教会里给弟兄姐妹煮饭的?一煮就煮了二十年,神的话完全不清楚,活得不明不白。 一个属灵的人看透万事,最先看透的就是生死,对活着没有太大的兴趣,肉身的活着对一个属灵的人变得毫无意义。把属灵和生死看得非常重,这叫属灵的人。如果真的传承了华人命定神学,会藐视活着这件事,会说,活着是个很简单的事,赚钱是个很简单的事。 **人既属乎血气,我的灵就不永远住在他里面。(《创世记》6:3)**

反思自己是强人的逻辑,还是软弱的人的逻辑?如果想做个强人,做个上古英武有名的人,那就是遭毁灭的器皿。如果很清楚自己是个软弱的人,就需要神,需要靠着神刚强。 仔细观察,在这个世代,从二十世纪以来,打了第一场世界大战。为什么打仗?为了钱,为了争夺世上的资源,但是打了第一次世界大战的人已经不见了。为什么打了第二次世界大战?为了钱,全是为了活着这些事。打第二次世界大战那些人哪去了呢?有的人成了战犯,被送上了绞刑架,像东条英机,或者是希特勒,胜者王侯败者贼,如果东条英机和希特勒赢了,那就把那些盟军的人送上了绞刑架。世界就是这样,喜欢也好,不喜欢也好,打第二次世界大战的那些人为了钱和资源,为了活着,最后都没活下去,这都是强人的逻辑。 在学校崇拜学霸,打游戏和学习都打不过人家,结果整的自己很纠结、很沮丧、很难受。为啥?羡慕这些强人。可是问题来了,他们不知道这些强人最后是遭毁灭的结局,一个人软弱好像还成了优点。因为知道自己是一个软弱的人,所以知道需要神!强人不太需要神,见过哪个强人需要来信靠神?

其实在我们当中是不是还有很多人喜欢做一个强人?喜欢做一个上古英武有名的人?这个弯不容易转。小时候特别欣赏诸葛亮这样的人,眉头一皱,掐指一算,计上心来,简直厉害得不得了!给刘备、赵云三个锦囊,丞相简直是料事如神,结果东征西讨一辈子,六出祁山,最终五十多岁死在五丈原。后来想明白了,不能做这样的人。 有的人生了孩子,就希望自己的孩子像诸葛亮,那是一个强人的逻辑。有的人生了孩子,希望他像孙仲谋。这个世代的人很崇拜强人,简直是这个世代的文化主体。比如像秦始皇,秦始皇很厉害。但是现在活的年岁已超过了秦始皇,也超过了诸葛亮,已经比他们活得长了。弟兄姐妹如果活过六十岁,你们都比他们活得长。其实比这个也没啥意思,关键是脑子里到底装的是什么?如果脑子里只想诸葛亮好厉害,那就完了!成了遭毁灭的器皿。

挪亚那个世代的人全都被洪水冲去,只有挪亚一家八口得拯救。你是一个软弱的人,还是一个强暴的人呢?我们读了《圣经》中的亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各,知道他们里面的逻辑体系吗?亚伯拉罕的逻辑体系是什么呢?老婆被人抢去了,他信靠神,相信神一定保守,所以他不去打,他不是靠着刀剑度日。仔细思考,亚伯拉罕里面的逻辑体系不是去打仗,不是强人的逻辑。以撒也不是一个强人的逻辑,他的水井被人抢去了,抢去了就抢去了,我不抢回来,我就再挖一个。又抢去了,又挖一个;又抢去了,又挖一个。结果以撒那一年刚好赶上了饥荒之年,在饥荒之年以撒有百倍的收成。 请问,是靠着神好?还是靠着自己的肉体,像该隐和拉麦的这种强人逻辑体系好?当然是靠着神好!所以开始调整,人家做人家的学霸;人家做人家的强人;人家厉害,就人家厉害,别闲着没事跟人一起卷。有人说,老师,像你这么厉害的人,幸亏你服侍神。如果像你这么精明的人不服侍神,你得害多少人?大家的担心是多余的,这种精明,是一种软弱的精明。什么时候看过我跟人家一整就你抓我脖领,我抓你头发了?

我小时候就知道要低头走路,不是玩手机的那种低头,那时候的人手里没手机,也没手表,没啥东西看。为啥要低头呢?因为不能瞎看,小时候的生活环境太残酷了,那时候有很多很厉害的校霸,不是学霸。抬头一看,人就问,你瞅啥呢?如果接一句,瞅你咋地?那麻烦大了。那些个地痞流氓,白刀子进去红刀子出来。只有低头走路,因为软弱,但是这叫软弱的精明! 就是因为软弱,人家比我学习好,我不纠结。人家考试分数比我高,我也不纠结。在乎那干什么?从小就不跟人家卷,强人是一个卷的逻辑,一整就被人家卷。至于别人是不是被我卷了,也不知道,只知道不去攀比。感谢神!也感谢我妈!我妈常常对我说,孩子,别累坏了。我妈也不太管我的学习,学习就这样学就行。后来上了大学,告诉我妈读完大学以后还可以去考研究生,我妈就跟我说,考那个做什么?读了大学就挺好的。 大家以为我很自律,如果你的孩子不自律,也别给他整到卷里边去。我说的是啥意思呢?幸亏有神。这一辈子就是一个软弱的人,从来也不跟人家竞争。从小有一个梦想,就是希望每一个人都能发一个足球,为什么?因为在场上踢球,踢一场下来还没踢到球。一直都抢不到那球,所以就想一人一个球多好玩!这是讲笑话,如果是一般的小孩,那不是被卷了吗?感谢神!踢不到球也没当回事。

问题在于心中的观念,从小总觉得自己不行,但后来意识到,像我这样软弱的人,有神真好。软弱的人不与人争抢,从小我妈对我很放心,因为我不惹事。我不挑衅别人,从不与人争斗。小时候有个同学被刀捅死,我天生懂事,但不知道为什么。我知道打不过别人,不这样能行吗?我是好小孩。 后来发现生活没多大意思。认识神后,把神当做宝贝,软弱的我变得刚强。变得刚强了,但不与人争斗,没有变成杠精。我不与人争斗,老板有活没人干就给我干,我就好好干,结果发现,这叫做精明。千万不要做一个强人,不要渴慕做一个强人。渴慕做强人,就是在毁灭的路上。我们必须常常夸自己的软弱,不要夸自己的刚强。属肉体的人以自己的能力为根本;属灵的人以神的能力为根本,把属肉体的软弱变成属灵的刚强。

人脑子里想的,形成了逻辑体系,决定了遭毁灭还是蒙拯救。如果你脑子里想,要做成吉思汗、秦始皇、汉武帝,甚至超越他们所有人,最后的结果是好还是不好呢?我们从小学到的历史中觉得这些人很厉害,但你脑子里所思想的到底是什么?脑子里终日所思想的尽都是恶。 大家知道什么叫做尽都是恶吗?就是脑子里想的都是自己,我要得着这个,我要得着那个,得不着就和人争。我想得着的让你得着了,那我就得不着了。班上只有一个第一,他是第一,你就不是第一了。这不是要命吗?我们从小所受的教育是,不想当将军的士兵,不是好士兵。从小就要千军万马过独木桥,结果没过去的都掉河里了,其实全都是错误的。

华人命定神学追求的是成为他人的祝福,给予他人好处。当大家逐步了解这些事情的时候,这会混乱吗?华人命定神学是一个成体系的神学。为什么成体系?因为这是一个逻辑体系。人们通常认为地球资源有限,如果有人获得多,其他人就会获得少。这种思维被称为零和游戏。市场有限,为了获得更多的市场份额,就需要竞争对手失去一些市场份额,这样的思维方式让人终日所思想的尽都是恶。 但如果采用另一种逻辑,即不断给予,那谁来给予呢?神会给予。我们生活的系统不是封闭的,而是开放的。它不是零和游戏,而是倍增的游戏。为什么呢?因为神不断注入资源。如果将神从天上注入的资源算进来,地上就不再是零和,而是倍增。来到华人命定神学的人,未蒙祝福的不多。因为天上的资源向你敞开,你手里拿着天国的钥匙。耶稣定义教会时,给予的是天国的钥匙。钥匙可以打开天上的大门,不是一把钥匙,而是一串。做管家时,拎着一串钥匙,打开门,仓库里都是金子和银子,你就厉害了,是不是?

天国的钥匙给你是为了支取天上的资源。形成一个天国钥匙的逻辑,地上的资源有限,但神国度的资源是无限的。常想着把天国的资源带到地上成为别人的祝福。祝福别人越多,天上资源得着的就越多。得着的越多,就给出去的越多。给出去的越多,得着天国的就越多。还会满脑子里想的都是恶吗? 满脑子想的怎么就是给不出去呢?想祝福他,怎么这么费劲呢?有的人就想,这东西怎么就在他手里呢?我得夺过来;这葡萄园挺好,我得弄过来;这个油田挺好,我得弄过来;这天然气挺好,我得弄过来;这个自然资源铁矿石挺好,我得弄过来!什么东西都挺好,大家就为了圈地,看哪个国家的土地多,看哪个国家土地上的资源多等等。人的思想要改呀! 在这个世代,是渴望要成为别人的祝福,还是渴望从别人那剥夺资源?得有一个清晰的观念。举个神做事奇妙的例子,很早以前,他们就说这世界上的石油,到某某年石油就用完了。过了十年新闻出来了,在某某地方发现一块油田,里面有多少亿吨的石油。之后又说,三十年以后这石油要被用完,这三十年过去了,大家又发现油田了。 当时不是都论证过石油不够吗?当时的确是这钻一个眼,那钻一个眼,这做一个考察,那做一个考察。考察完了说这地没有石油,后来怎么又有油了呢?因为那个资源神说了算,神说有它就有。所以,不要担心这个世上的石油不够用。小时候,人就说这地球上的人不能再增长了。那增长完了,这地球上的资源就不够了。后来,中国有十四亿人也没饿着!这不是很神奇吗?是不是?地球上再多个一百亿、二百亿人口照活,因为人活着是神供应资源。

有一对夫妻,妻子怀孕后到我这里来哭,还在抹眼泪。我问,你哭什么呢?她说,这孩子生下来就要跟我过苦日子,没钱。我说,人家孩子自己带着粮饷来的,人是天养的。脑子里一旦认为资源是有限的,那就坏了,就会想着把人家的资源夺过来。今天我们要改变,满脑子想的要是天上的资源,我们天父家的资源是无限的,尤其是传道人心里不能穷。 弟兄姐妹要知道,教会不是因着你们的奉献养着的,教会是神养的,神给我们的资源太多了。如果你觉得教会是你养着的,那就麻烦了。我见过一个生意人,他把钱全都赔上了。为啥全赔上了呢?因为他想做生意供养那些穷的传道人。大家要知道,穷传道人是没有道才穷的,他传的不是道,所以才穷。他就想养这些没有道的传道人,结果钱全赔上了。他打电话跟我说,为我的钱祷告。我从来没听说过要为钱祷告的。我说,为你的钱祷告干啥呢?他说,我的钱全都赔上了。 我觉得,人怎么就不知道天父是富有的呢?大家可得知道,千万别傻掉了,千万不要用你的钱养传道人,传道人是天养的,要养成一个逻辑体系。人那时候为什么强暴?因为抢占资源。为什么抢占资源?就是为了活得好,反而活得不好。活得好活得不好是神说了算。

自古以来就只有两条路,一条是遭毁灭的路,一条是蒙祝福的路,你走的是哪条路就跟你脑袋里想的紧密相关。你说人没钱万万不能,其实,人没有神才要命啊!有钱有啥用?前段时间,有个特别富有的人得了一个病,大老远从印尼来新加坡治病。用最好的药,最好的治疗,住新加坡最贵的医院,结果花了上百万,转成人民币值好几百万,结果还是死了。用的药太好了,你看看这脑子,你说这钱真的能救人吗?钱救不了人。人的思想不对,行为就不可能对。

神怎么样吩咐挪亚,他就怎么样行,到底是信心还是行为呢?就是人的思想主导了人的行为。有个人说,他愿意为神摆上性命,非常地爱神。我说,你非常爱神,愿意为神摆上性命,怎么不做十一奉献呢?他说,十一奉献还是有点难的,但是把生命献给神不难。我听了以后,觉得有点怪。这是什么逻辑?这是忽悠的逻辑。要钱不要命,钱比命重要。当把命献给神,命没有了钱就不重要了,原来是这么想的。这种没有命定的人,说他非常爱神。后来我就说,你就到别的地方好好去爱去吧。 有什么样的行为,就有什么样的思想体系。有一个笑话,一个人说,如果有十个亿的话,全都给你。如果有一个亿的话,也全都给你。人家就说,那就把那辆车给我吧!他说,那不能给你。为啥不能把那辆车给呢?他说,因为他真的有那辆车,那真有是不能给,没有的就随便说,反正没有那十个亿。这逻辑简直是神了。所以人的思想和人的行为紧密相连。他最近又回来了,为啥呢?带着这套逻辑体系不遭毁灭?那肯定遭毁灭和咒诅,所以又来找教会了。

通灵界的事情让人发现,在属灵的世界里,灵界是很真实的。灵界很真实,为了达成目标,有人会去找白龙王指点,这样演员的生涯就变得厉害了。还有做生意的,与灵界紧密相关,生意人拜拜的特别多。我曾经去过一个城市,他们开车从那条街上走过去。那条街上两边的大楼都被某某公司买了,资产上万亿的老板在公司里面设了一个大的偶像堂,员工都得去拜。还有一个大的房地产公司,也是一样。 有一个人在他们公司打工,是个基督徒,老板说,你一定要拜这个,生意才会好。这在中国大陆也有。基督徒在这里面产生了很大的张力,因为灵界这东西很厉害。但问题是,这不是很奇怪吗?他们知道有灵界,却不知道有永生,全为今生预备。他们也知道将来总有一天灰飞烟灭,所有这些东西都会成为过眼的烟云,但还是拜。全部都为今生的事活着,涉及通灵界,拜偶像,包括养小鬼这些事。

灵界这东西喜不喜欢来通人呢?灵界这东西也喜欢。弟兄姐妹当中好多脑子里装的东西都挺要命。还问,为什么他拜这偶像好使?我说,好使你也去整啊!灵界的这些东西也喜欢找人,你知道在上古英武有名的人当中,他们都是六个手指头,六个脚指头。到了大卫年间还这样,像大卫杀死的歌利亚,就属于巨人,都属于伟人。不是说只有手是六个手指头,两只脚也全是六个趾头。那时候巨人全是这样,全身有二十四个指头,然后都是身形巨大的人。 这些人从哪来的呢?就是神的儿子们和人的女子们交合生的,就生下来这种。这东西都是跟灵界紧密相关,然后都是英武有名,非常厉害的人。这是不是通灵界啊!这个通灵界通着通着,人就越来越败坏。设想一下如果你家邻居是英武有名的人,他说你的家就是他的家,你最后就会被赶出去。你家的地就是他家的地,你也打不过他,掐不过他。你整不了,就很麻烦。

到了挪亚年间,地上有许多英武有名的人与灵界相关。神的儿子们的来源我们无从查考,但可以知道这些与灵界的事紧密相关。撒旦也是神的众子之一,属于通灵界的存在。然而,挪亚通的是神的灵界,而那些人通的是魔鬼的灵界。通了魔鬼的灵界,结果成了遭毁灭的器皿;通神的灵界,与神同行,就蒙神的拯救。 挪亚是怎么蒙拯救的,那个世代的人是怎么遭毁灭的,值得深思。英武有名的人,欺负不了挪亚,因为神保守。跟神同行的人,即使世代再混乱,也不会被整。那些人想整他,却无法得逞。有神的人,人想整他也整不了。有一个牧师,后来被抓了,很多人以为他为神受苦。其实不然。他在教会里挂了一个大横幅,禁止方言祷告,结果被政府处理。坐牢几年,是神的安排,鬼也得听神的话。 这些强人虽然厉害,神绝对能管得了他们。神不但能毁灭他们,还能管制他们,让他们无法伤害挪亚。因此,通神的灵界,与神同行,神在你旁边,没有人能整得了你。

《创世记》第六章的分享与之前有所不同,重点在于希望弟兄姐妹能够做出聪明的选择,不再依靠强人的逻辑体系,而是依靠属神的逻辑体系生活。即使全世界都被毁,有神的同在,也不会被毁掉,因为与神同行。不要被世俗的成功所吸引,而是专注于与神同行,这才是聪明的选择。 活着可以变得简单,这是一种聪明的选择。若在世俗的成就上不如人,也无需沮丧,可以效法亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各,不再依靠刀剑度日,而是依靠神的保守,讨神的喜悦。要认识到自己无法保护自己,唯有神能够保守和拯救我们。

弟兄姐妹为神献上自己,成为一个有命定的人,这是好得无比的选择。就算是挪亚那个世代全世界都毁灭了,神仍然拯救我们。因为毁灭谁,拯救谁,都是神说了算。放下那种羡慕人家孩子上国际学校的心态,因为咱的孩子上灵里学校;人家的孩子找最好的补习,咱的孩子不用补习;人家的孩子是世界冠军,咱自己的孩子啥军也不是。挺好,有问题吗?没问题啊!因为今生所有这些东西都不重要,不重要我卷啥?学习像我妈一样,我母亲常常说:孩子,别累着。 妈妈们有没有放松一点呢?别再逼孩子整那些了,别累着。孩子太属肉体了,可以去对付。不去把孩子整得纠结难受,卷来卷去,卷得不行。本来能学好一点的,能答六十分的,这一卷变二十了。本来能拿八十分的,这一卷,好家伙,只有四十了。 有一个弟兄很有意思,他大儿子本来想去美国读大学,读大学不得烧老些个钱。结果呢,疫情来了,做工了。神呐,做工做得不错,要不然读那玩意干啥呢。在三流大学里做一个三流的学生,读完了也不知道干啥,还不如赶紧整点谋生的能力。咱们当中以前二加三等于八的人,现在也做工了,活得挺好。人家整人家的,咱自己整自己的。人家靠自己的能力,咱们靠神。以前哭的眼泪两行,嘀嗒嘀嗒没完没了。今天轻松了,然后鼓励孩子成为一个信靠神的人。成为一个蒙拯救的器皿,不是成为一个遭毁坏的器皿。

人家抬头愁来愁去,咱们低头也不愁。要不然,你瞅啥?瞅你咋滴。结果回来脑袋多几个疤,图啥呢?东西被人家抢去,抢去就抢去,天父家有好些个,后来再抢,抢不了了,因为神给你宽阔之地。听完了是不是轻松了?轻松了。在工作岗位也不跟人家纠缠了,在工作岗位上该干啥好好干,不跟这个比,也不跟那个比。 有的人看到自己部门的人挺厉害的,就忧郁了,结果别的部门的人又来了,更忧郁了。这都是些什么乱七八糟的事。有神的日子过得多帅,有神的日子过得多爽啊!轻松,自在,看扁了一切,有神养着我们,然后走与神同行的路。思想上想的是神的话,行为上做讨神喜悦的事。神怎么告诉我们,我们就怎样行。

Whoever preserves his life will lose it, but whoever lays down his life for God will gain life. Man lives by the Spirit, not by the flesh. We must have Noah's logical thinking system. Trust in God, believe in God, and persevere in praying in the Spirit!

Develop the habit of trusting God. Even if the things God commands seem difficult and impossible to accomplish according to your own ability, as long as you simply believe in God, God will always prepare a solution. Take it step by step, and you will surely see the results.

Choose to simply trust in God, remove the mechanism of self-protection, that is, believe in God's word, do it, and walk a path of faith. Thank God for His loving-kindness and mercy.

Teacher, I admit that weakness is a kind of wisdom, a kind of cleverness. Then why does God still want us to be strong? What is the relationship between weakness and strength?
