1. Introduction

A few weeks ago, I shared The Flame of Revival with everyone, and one brother became enthusiastic after hearing it. Previously, this brother had focused his attention on his work, but from that day on, he began to actively serve the little lambs he was pastoring. During that time, his performance greatly improved. This shows that when a person is willing to be used by God, he will become a precious and glorious vessel of God. God can solve all our problems.

Later, I spoke about Fussing. Many people in this world live in a constant state of fuss. Those who believe in the Lord fuss for God and for a glorious future, while those in the world fuss for their own affairs.

Last week, I spoke about Great Hope. If a person chooses to be a precious and glorious vessel of God, will God allow Alzheimer's disease to happen to him? I don't think so. You will live a life full of great hope because our God is the God who created the universe.

What kind of spirit is inside a person? The human body is a shell that can contain one's own spirit or the Holy Spirit. Some people may contain their own spirit and evil spirits. Some time ago, a sister was being delivered, and a demon spoke through her mouth. Many people are puzzled as to why these demons keep bothering me. Why haven't I gotten better? Why hasn't there been a turnaround? Today, I will tell you a key: What kind of vessel are you? If you are a precious and glorious vessel, then it is filled with the Holy Spirit. If you are a lowly vessel, it is filled with evil spirits.

Recently, I prayed for my mother. The spirit of the dung beetle is a very filthy spirit, and the spirit of the old mountain horse is related to aging. I asked the evil spirit, Why did you come? The evil spirit replied, I came to play with her. I immediately understood that if a person likes to eat, drink, and be merry, and loves the world, evil spirits will love to find him.

Some people lend money to others, and they are good people, but they just don't repay the money. How can this be? When dealing with people, you must have spiritual discernment. Sometimes it is the person themselves, and sometimes it is the demon inside them.

If you choose to be a precious vessel, you will be filled with the Holy Spirit. If you choose to eat, drink, and be merry, you will be a lowly vessel, filled with evil spirits. I don't know if you have seen a precious vessel and a lowly vessel. The lowliest vessel I have seen is a chamber pot. What kind of person you become is your own choice. Do you want to be a precious vessel or a lowly vessel?

2. Scripture

In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work. (2 Timothy 2:20-21 NIV)

3. Prayer

We choose to be precious and glorious vessels. May the Holy Spirit cleanse us and remove the filth within us. We choose to trust in You, that we may become holy, glorious, and precious vessels, vessels that You can use. Lord, open our eyes that we may see the needs of this generation, and we will serve this generation. In the name of the Lord Jesus, Amen!

4. Choose to Turn Away from Ignoble Purposes

In God's creation, there is a very wonderful thing: freedom. God puts freedom in people, so they can do whatever they want. If your pet is a robot, and its actions are all controlled by you, you will often lose interest over time. But when you raise a real pet that comes close to you, you feel good.

Choice is free. If you believe one thing is worth more than another, you will put your time into the more valuable thing. We must know that this world is a wonderful spiritual world. If you do not know the spiritual realm, you will live in this world just to live, which is a sad thing. Choosing is based on a person's inner understanding. If you go to God's word, understand God's word, and choose according to God's word, we will become precious vessels, turning away from ignoble purposes.

Living in this world is a great mystery, because many people do not know why they are living until they leave this world. They live their whole lives toiling and worrying about the world. One day, one of my cousins called my mother and said, Auntie, I want to eat the buns you make. He was in his 50s, and he just wanted to eat the buns his aunt made. It was natural to say such a thing. However, if people in the world are only thinking about eating, drinking, and being merry, then they may become lowly vessels. You can tell by the state of a person's life.

Yesterday, I ministered healing and deliverance to my mother. The spirit inside her spoke to me: I am the old mountain horse. Do you know how much I manage? I manage all the sewers and manholes in the world. These are dirty and filthy places. It turns out that if we choose to be lowly vessels, we will have lowly spirits, such as these evil spirits that control sewers. So I am doing my utmost to help my mother turn away from ignoble purposes. This is her choice. When she wakes up and is released from this, she will choose destiny and choose to rise up and fight.

You should know that the choices within a person are very important. For a long time, I have observed a very interesting phenomenon: how do people get Alzheimer's disease? Some people, when they get old, carry the world's value system, and they think, I have to live. How can I live if I don't have money? What if I get sick? Seeing a doctor costs money. I need money to live. This whole system of logic leads people into Alzheimer's disease, and even incontinence. Also, people who love to eat, drink, and be merry attract ghosts. Unclean spirits often look for people who like to have fun.

Brothers and sisters, you must know for sure what we should choose. Indulging the flesh is a lowly vessel, and it attracts demons. Some people take their work too seriously, and they have a lot of pressure, and therefore, many demons. The logic system is something like this: I have to live, and I need money to live, and I can only get money by doing this job. If you don't take your work so seriously, the pressure will be gone. Shift your focus to God and see Him as important.

You must choose to turn away from ignoble purposes. If you do not choose to turn away from ignoble purposes, then spirits like the old mountain horse that manages sewers will disturb people. I later discovered that in the universe created by man, there are also many dirty things, such as scavengers that eat rotten things and corpses of plants and animals. Later, when praying, I found that some demons are shaped like these creatures. The dung beetle rolls dung balls. We see that it is not very clean, but as this small creature, it lives off of it.

Some people in the world live in vanity, with no meaning. But you can choose to turn away from ignoble purposes and enter into destiny. Only by choosing to turn away from uncleanness can you turn away from the demons in the spiritual realm. You must see through the things of the world.

A dung beetle spends its whole life rolling dung balls, but the dung beetle itself feels very proud. Our knowledge determines our choices. Now we must choose the eternal and glorious destiny. We must all observe the things around us and see through them. The things of the world are vanity of vanities, so we must choose to turn away from ignoble purposes. There will be many opportunities in the future. Seeing through the things of the world will allow you to live well.

5. Choose To Be A Vessel Of Honor

I went to observe nursing homes in Singapore. Many old people in Singapore are sent to nursing homes because there is no one at home to take care of them. In nursing homes, people are waiting to die. Toiling for worldly affairs ends in tragedy. As long as we know God and fear God, we can live well. We must have spiritual discernment, do valuable things, and be able to turn away from ignoble purposes. We live not only for ourselves, and we must not live in selfishness, but we must determine to be a blessing to all nations, which is to choose to become God's honorable vessel.

Choose to be a vessel of honor. But some people choose to be ignoble people. Faith is a choice. All we need to do is choose, and choosing to bless God is giving us blessings. We receive what we believe. Throughout our lives are choices. Choice is a very important thing. People must turn away from ignoble things and live out God's blessing.

Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work. (2 Timothy 2:21 ESV)

## 6. The Holy Spirit Sanctifies Us

> I say then, walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. (Galatians 5:16-18 NKJV)

Many go astray, thinking they need to *do* something to be sanctified. Wrong! It is **the Holy Spirit Who sanctifies us**. Throughout the Bible, God calls us to **detach from fleshly desires**. **The Holy Spirit fights against the flesh, and you must, by the Spirit, put to death the deeds of the body**. One must know for sure that **it is the Holy Spirit Who sanctifies us. The blood of Jesus cleanses our past transgressions, and the fire of the Holy Spirit refines us, deals with our fleshly misconduct. None of it is by our own flesh, but all by our God**. Today, many are driven by works-based thinking because they haven't understood the Bible. They have forgotten what the Bible says: that the Holy Spirit sanctifies us. Then they try to sanctify themselves, which is impossible.

In our faith, we must restore the foundation of faith. Anything based on works is not effective. Waiting until our deeds are good before preaching the Gospel is unbiblical; that can only be achieved when you are lying in your coffin, only then can one become 'very good' Indeed, there is nothing wrong with the dead, but the living have too many spiritual problems. So we use faith to preach the Gospel. For example, if those as hopeless as us can receive God's Gospel, how much more so those are as good as you? If you are willing to believe, what great grace will you receive! Be faith-based. Entering into Abraham's blessing by faith in Jesus. Thus, we must know that it is the Holy Spirit who sanctifies us. I am often told, Look, someone like you can be a pastor? Yes, if someone as hopeless as me can be a pastor, then someone as good as you, surely he can! Speaking like this immediately broadens the horizon.

No one's life is good or bad. Jesus said, **The one who believes shall live.** Shouldn’t we, therefore, live even more by faith! When we have faith, the Holy Spirit works on us. Through faith, God can mortify the flesh in our bodies. We can strike down the dark powers of the devil. Through faith, we can be sanctified. Through faith, we can mortify the evils in our bodies. Therefore, when Jesus was on earth, He said to those with corrupt flesh, the blind, and the lame, **Your faith has saved you.** Our God saves us through our faith. Today, we must restore the foundation of faith. We must let the Holy Spirit sanctify us. When we make a choice within, God's Spirit begins to work on us, and the Holy Spirit will descend upon us.

Yesterday, my mother said that there are too many spirits of death around lately, constantly disturbing her. In a dream, there was a fierce horseman who grabbed her, trying to take her away. But when he grabbed her, an electric shock like a sting severely scratched the fierce man's hand. In reality, the fierce man was the spirit of death. Then a voice told the fierce man that he could not seize her and told my mother to run quickly. This is the Holy Spirit. Why should we often pray in tongues? **Because being constantly filled with the Holy Spirit allows us to resist the dark powers of death**. So these things allow us to understand that Jesus Christ resurrected from the flesh, and the Gospel we receive is the redemption of our bodies. Precisely because of this, healing and deliverance far exceed our imagination. It concerns the Kingdom of God, concerns the redemption of our bodies, and is the most important component of the Gospel.

> Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. (John 1:2 NKJV)

Our bodies will certainly be healthy, our souls will surely prosper, and our careers will also prosper: be healthy in body and prosper in all things. You ask, Can I live if I don't sin? If the Holy Spirit can sanctify us, then we will definitely live well. This is our faith, and such is the case. If the Holy Spirit did not work on us, if we did not have such faith to minister, I think my mother would have been taken away by the devil long ago. Thank God, my mother is still living healthily! **The power of Jesus Christ's resurrection must be manifested in those of us who are faith-based. God will make us vessels fit for the Master's use through the Holy Spirit. When the Spirit of God works on us, we will be used by God**.

## 7. Fit for the Master's Use

If you become a vessel of honour, for whom do you live? If you don't see through the affairs of this world, you will live for yourself. If you see through them, you will know to step out of a life of emptiness and begin to be used by God, becoming Jehovah's mighty army. How many people today are willing to be used by God? Some time ago, I went to a southern city and visited 'the end of the earth ['Tianya Haijiao', a famous scenic spot on Hainan Island]' and encountered many Christians with many illnesses. When they heard that the Gospel I preached was in fact **a Gospel of healing**, they longed to be healed, and I prayed for them endlessly—there were simply too many. If more people were stirred up to become God's mighty warriors, manifesting God's glory, transforming people's lives, and expanding God's church, even a thousand or a million pastors like me who save people from death and disease would not be enough. When I saw such a situation, my heart was filled with emotion: **We desperately need such churches. We desperately need God's army to fight spiritual battles, to strike down the enemies of the devil, and to release God's people**. Seeing the need of the entire era, longing to be used by God, and manifesting God's glory.

In the Gospel that I preach, my faith is **a Gospel of God working with mankind**. This is called the way of Jehovah with Gideon, the way of Jehovah with Abraham. Many think that I am elevating myself. I am merely willing to be used by God, to do what God does, to transmit God's love, to release the captive people, and to strike down the enemies of the devil. Although it is filled with emotion, I also see the opportunity of this era. God is seeking partners on earth, people who work with God, just as God has been seeking throughout history, seeking in the Scripture, and in fact seeking the Gideon, the Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob of this era. God is seeking elite soldiers and judges to deliver the Israelites from the power of darkness. Are you willing to become God's partner? I am willing, very willing, because walking with God is a win-win situation. Investing in the Kingdom of God, striking down the enemies of the devil, plundering the enemy, and all the benefits of the Kingdom of Heaven descend upon us. See what great grace this is! God will cause us to triumph. When we go to battle, God's Spirit will cause the hearts of the enemies to melt before us. Where we wage our battles, God is there before us fighting for us. Then God will say, You are faithful and good servants. We are to strike down the army of the devil and become elite soldiers of God's Kingdom, we are to be fit for the Master's use, to be vessels of honour. You must rise up to take on the responsibility of teaching and training. You must rise up to take on the responsibility of being used by God to heal and deliver others. If you want to live a holy life, then bear the Mingding Destiny, see the need of this era, and put aside your own needs.

## 8. Conclusion

Brothers and sisters, when I speak these words, I am afraid that your ears will become calloused, but I still have to say it: **To be used by the Master is to be a vessel of honour**. Every time we say the Lord's Prayer, Honour, glory, all are Thine, if we become God's partners, exercising His authority on earth, then honour and glory are also ours. This is not stealing God's glory; this is sharing God's glory. God wants to glorify His people, and God's people must also glorify God. God wants to gain glory in this era, in the church. Glory is when you live out a noble and glorious life. Such is the original intention of the Gospel. May God bless everyone!
