【Sermon】The prince of this world hath nothing in me

2018-04-15 8,796 Sermon

1. Introduction

In my days as a believer, many have asked me this question: Can faith in the Lord sustain life? I reply: Not only can it sustain life, but it can sustain it very well. They then ask about work. He thought that the Lord we believe in is as powerless as he is. God can manage the Earth and the galaxy, can He not solve problems in life? We are but dust on Earth, and God is so capable that trusting Him is enough. Is it true? It is true. Want wealth? Want health? Trust God well, love God well. There is absolutely no compromise in the truth of the Gospel. What about working hard? It doesn't matter if you don't pray? Too busy with work, where is there time to serve? These are all compromises.

Love your God with all your heart and with all your strength. This will bring two results: the first is a financial turnaround, and the second is a health turnaround. You should know how healthy our brothers and sisters who love the Lord with all their heart and with all their strength are. The problems we face are all brought about by loving the world. When praying for brothers and sisters, I see many spirits of the old horse, many things are done by them. You can choose to love God, or you can choose to love the world.

However, if anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. Where you love the world, the devil will corrupt you. When I cast out demons during healing and deliverance, the demons repeatedly return, which is very annoying. As long as you love the world, you will attract these. Aren't we just trying to solve problems? God will help us solve them. Therefore, brothers and sisters, we must be wise, that is, to love God wholeheartedly and serve Him alone. God will definitely help you solve the problems of work. You can boldly tell yourself that there are sufferings in the world, but God will help us solve them. Truth is absolute and exclusive. One plus one equals two. Loving the world and loving God is adultery. Today we shape such a concept: love God alone, no longer love the things of this world, be above and not below, be the head and not the tail.

Our Lord Jesus is a good example, even if I die, I don't care. This world often threatens people with death, but the Lord is our King, and our inner being belongs completely to God. Jesus said this for us to hear, and when we hear it, we must understand who this world belongs to. Nothing in this world belongs to the old horse. Jesus Christ has opened up an absolute way for us, and we cannot have a compromise. Many poor and unhealthy Christians are compromised Christians. Try not to compromise, and you will experience a turnaround in health and finances, because these are the corruption of the devil, and the king of the world has the right and share in you, and can reasonably corrupt you.

2. Scripture

I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no claim on me; but I do this so that the world may know that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me. “Come now; let us leave.(John 14:30-31)

3. Prayer

Lord Jesus, You should overcome the world and achieve victory. Today, relying on You, overcome the world, do wonderful work in me, clean up the garbage in me, help us, be with us, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

4. Scripture Background

The day before the Lord Jesus was crucified, He was praying and teaching His disciples, teaching them to love the Lord Jesus and to love God. I love my Father, etc., which happened when the Lord Jesus had one day left to live in the world. Suppose you only have one day to live, what would you say? Maybe you might tell your children who to give your property to, etc., make arrangements before death that we think are most important. But the Lord Jesus did a very strange thing, He resurrected Lazarus, rode a donkey into Jerusalem and many people cheered, all the way to Jesus' crucifixion. The key to the Lord Jesus' victory is that the king of this world has nothing in you. This is an absolute declaration, a state of victory.

5. Life and Death is a Spiritual Matter

The reaction to facing death is a test of the truth of faith. The greatest sadness of mankind is wanting to die but not wanting to die, but people in the world have to face death sooner or later. A Christian who has seen through life and death is the same no matter when he dies. Life and death is a spiritual matter, and the Lord Jesus believes that death cannot drown my life. Now half of the people who get cancer are scared to death, and half are poisoned to death. Open your spiritual eyes and you will make decisions that the world cannot understand. When you see through the battle between life and death, you see through everything else. When we see through everything, our attitude towards things changes.

Today our Lord Jesus overcame death, and He proved that it is the spirit that gives life, not the flesh. There is no end to the road to knowing God. At the moment when the Lord Jesus faced life and death, I, who control life and death, have no place here, I don't care. Lazarus' resurrection from the dead confirmed that it is the spirit that gives life. The Lord Jesus had such a reaction because He had a complete belief system inside Him.

Now we need to know that there is no end to the road to knowing God. When Jesus faced life and death, He didn't care about anything. There is also a place where Lazarus was resurrected from the dead, which also confirmed that it is the spirit that gives life. The matter of being alive now is not understood by many people. We must now know that it is the spirit that gives life. Why did Jesus rise from the dead three days after being crucified? Because there is a complete system in God, and Jesus has seen through all these things.

We can't take anything with us after death, so don't feel sorry for anything. The Lord Jesus wants to tell us that life and death is a spiritual matter, and we cannot solve life and death. If you really see through life and death, it will be much simpler.

6. If You See Through Life and Death, Then Nothing Can Threaten You

Now many people worry about their studies and work. People don’t live by academic performance. Some people want to live well, so they study hard, study, study, and make themselves very hard, but in the end they still don’t live well. Why does this happen? Because they haven't seen through it. In fact, we don't encourage everyone to go to university. Is going to university really for learning? Actually, it's not. What we need now is the ability to make a living. Don't think about what to study or what university to get into. Brothers and sisters must know how important this ability to make a living is, instead of thinking that education is very important.

Among us, there are people who are studying for a doctorate and are very hard because they cannot graduate. They can only fall asleep at two o'clock every day, and then it becomes three o'clock, then five o'clock, and then they can't sleep at all. She came to me for healing and deliverance. I cast out the demons in her, but what her parents saw was how their child believed in Jesus? They hated it so much, but where were they when their child was collapsing? When Jesus Christ rose from the dead, there are two world logic systems, one is to completely believe in Jesus Christ, and the other is to kill Jesus Christ. These two logic systems cannot coexist!

There was a brother who suffered from severe lumbar disease and saw many famous doctors, but was finally healed here with me. Don't think that everyone has different views. Facing life and death, your views determine your belief system. If one day I am caught by a gangster and he says he wants to kill you, I will smile and say to the gangster, actually I have wanted to die for a long time, and I want to thank you.

The Lord Jesus was going to die in His thirties. When He died, He was not restricted by the king of the world. The threat of death was useless to Jesus Christ. In this era, if you are afraid of death, you will lose your position. Today, as a Christian, we must be a strong Christian, without the world's logic system in our hearts. You will be above all nations. If you are not afraid of death, are you still afraid of work? Are you still afraid of your boss? Are you still afraid of owing money?

7. The Key to Victory: The Resurrection Power of Jesus

The key to victory lies in not fearing death, because we have received the power of resurrection from God. Recently, I was ministering to a brother in business who was facing significant financial problems. He was struggling because he had a severe worldly logic system deeply ingrained in him. This worldly ruler often threatened him with worldly things. Therefore, your victory depends on whether your hope is in the world or in God, and whether your logic system is God's or the world's.

If you are utterly disillusioned with this world, you will seek an answer. Because I have no hope in this world, you might think I am a religious fanatic, but I do not covet worldly things like money. Even when I do business, my logic system comes from God. I would not deceive anyone, as I do not have a worldly logic system within me. Why are there corrupt officials today? It is because they have a worldly logic system inside them. The difficulties Christians face are determined by their choices.

8. Major Challenges Faced by Christians

What attitude do you adopt when facing the customs of this world?

What attitude do you adopt when facing the desires of the flesh?

What attitude do you adopt when facing worldly affairs?

What attitude do you adopt when people crave empty fame?

The attitude you take and the choices you make determine your difficulties.

You will struggle, be conflicted, and suffer because you have such a logic system and a desire for empty fame in your heart.

Many people speculate on school district housing because parents place their hopes on schools, insisting on getting into certain schools. Others place their hope in doctors, and these people are often helpless. I recently met a doctor with a Ph.D. Even we doctors feel helpless sometimes. Patients place all their hope in us. We act as both doctors and pastors, and when we see those struggling on the brink of death, we have to say things to build their confidence, even when we doctors don't know where our own confidence comes from.

We must know that if we are officials, we must be honest officials. If we are men, we must be a stabilizing force in the Chinese environment and become useful members of society. This is the divine logic system of our Lord Jesus. When we face life and death, and we are not afraid, what else should we fear? Many people do not actually want to be greedy, but when family members or brothers-in-law need money and want to find some to spend, they start using their positions for personal gain and get caught in the web of greed.

9. Renounce This Worldly Logic System to Gain Victory

Brothers and sisters, start to completely renounce this worldly logic system. You must resolutely reject it and ensure that this worldly logic system has no place in you. Then the world cannot threaten you, and you will surely be victorious. The Bible uses spiritual words to explain spiritual matters. Today, we must continuously improve in our understanding of spiritual truths. Today, you heard Sister Wu Luther's testimony about her son being corrupted and controlled by demons. After we cast out the demons, the child was set free. If this child had built a divine logic system from a young age, he would surely be above and not below in the future. Many people's thoughts and intentions have already merged with the world's logic system, and the things they express are astonishing. Today, we must build a divine logic system and demolish the worldly logic system. If the devil reigns in your life today, it is because the devil has a place in you. Before Jesus was crucified, the Pharisees pressured Jesus before Pilate, the Roman governor, who asked Jesus, What is truth? Today, we must ask ourselves: What is truth? Jesus did not argue with Pilate, but willingly accepted the idea of being crucified. This is difficult to understand because Pilate had spent his whole life trying to become a Roman governor, and when he saw what Jesus was offering, he was shocked. Jesus's approach, that is the logic system of truth.

We should write a new version of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. When I read it as a child, I thought it was mythology, but it's probably not mythology at all, and it might have really happened. It turns out that the spiritual realm of this world is very real. I often face the demons that control people face to face, and I feel like I am like Jesus because the ruler of this world has nothing in me.

Conclusion

Paul, who followed Jesus, and Peter, who followed Jesus, both gave their lives for Jesus. Today, we all live in eternity. Today, we must fight spiritual battles every day. Carefully shepherd your sheep, nurture God's flock, and keep and follow God's path. This is a path of glorious life. I long to receive praise from Jesus when He returns or when I stand before Him one day. I also hope that we all will be faithful and good servants. You will surely live prosperously. When Jesus was lifted up on the cross, He drew all people to Himself. We must exalt Jesus and lead people to Him.

In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. (John 16:23-24)

What could be better than this? Today, we must know that whatever we ask the Father, we will receive because the ruler of this world has nothing in you. May God bless everyone!
