Foreword

In the past, we spoke of becoming a blessing to the family, for the sake of the surpassing greatness of eternal glory, not caring even if we had to endure suffering. In the days of believing in the Lord, including the process of establishing the church later, I had a great perplexity: why can't we see this treasure of great power? When we first established the church, we faced many problems, but in the process of believing in the Lord, I knew that our Jesus Christ is the supreme treasure.

When I was a child, my family was very poor. The old people told stories of treasure bowls, and I began to yearn for treasures, constantly searching until I knew Jesus Christ. Treasure stories have a profound impact on children. Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves was one of the most well-known stories in our childhood. With the shout Open Sesame, the door would open, and inside would be all kinds of treasures. Such stories were full of temptation for a poor child, until I knew Jesus Christ.

At that time, I did not go to a very capable church. Some Christians were very enthusiastic about evangelism and took us to church. My wife was sick, and the people in the traditional church were very kind, but they did not know how to introduce Jesus Christ to me. The Jesus Christ they introduced was powerless, only knowing how to introduce a doctor. Later, I thought that if that was the kind of Jesus Christ it was, then forget it.

In my depression, I went to find a church myself. I don't know if it was God's leading, but this church was full of miracles and wonders. They cast out demons there, and many people were healed. Later, my wife was healed here. It turned out that Jesus Christ we have is a treasure, so wherever I went, I would tell people that I had found a treasure, and I was eager to tell my family that I hoped they could know Him. Seeing my parents working so hard at their small shop, I hoped they could get this treasure. When I left home to board the train, they said it wasn't that they didn't want to believe what I said, but that they didn't know how to believe. It doesn't matter, when you encounter problems you can't solve, come and seek God.

Two years later, my younger brother's wife had a difficult labor, and the baby's condition was very bad after birth. Later, I prayed for this child, from morning to night, and the child was healed when I finished praying, even though I was thousands of kilometers away. To this day, wherever I go, I am not preaching a religion, I am preaching a treasure, hoping that everyone can obtain my treasure, believing that signs and wonders will follow.

Last night, as I was praying, a sister who had menstrual pain and back pain was also healed after prayer. Some time ago, she suddenly called me and said she had a very severe urinary tract infection that was very painful, going to the toilet every few minutes. After I prayed for her, she was healed. This sister is engaged in pharmaceutical research. What was her feeling when she experienced these things? It turned out that the Jesus Christ we have is a treasure. Today we must come out of our confusion. Many brothers and sisters have believed for decades, but the church has not been able to use the treasure of Jesus Christ. Today, we come out of our confusion, we must know that the Jesus Christ we have is a treasure, we must learn to use this treasure, Jesus Christ is the answer to all our problems.

Scripture

But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. (Philippians 3:7-11)

Prayer

Lord Jesus, we ask you to do a wonderful work among us, to cleanse away all the garbage of our faith, to let us know that Jesus Christ is the supreme treasure, to let us truly know Jesus Christ, to know the great power of God. Open our spiritual eyes today, let all our brothers and sisters begin to experience you more! Save those among us who are collapsing, in debt, poor, and sick. Lord, do a wonderful work in them all; speak to us today, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

What We Believe Is a Powerful Gospel

It is important who a person knows. If you don't know anyone, it is really troublesome and difficult to get things done. But if you know a great man, a phone call can solve the problem. Sometimes I think why I wasn't born in Lee Kuan Yew's family. Actually, knowing Jesus Christ doesn't require being born in Lee Kuan Yew's family, because we know Jesus Christ is the supreme treasure, and all our needs are met in Jesus Christ, which is much better than knowing any great man. Since I was a child, I have felt that I am very smart. If I could be in Lee Kuan Yew's family, he would arrange a good education for me, which would be very good.

But today I no longer envy these things. I know my Lord Jesus is the supreme treasure. If a person can be resurrected from the dead, what else cannot be accomplished? Today, all our brothers and sisters, you must know for sure that our Jesus Christ can be resurrected from the dead. What else cannot be accomplished? Jesus Christ is searching in heaven and on earth for those like us who believe in His word and know the power of the resurrection, so as to release the gospel and receive great power.

The Gospel of Christ is a powerful gospel. If someone confuses you, ask them a question: Like Jesus, like Paul, is it a powerful gospel? If not, then forget it. Because today we must know for sure that what Paul wrote in the Bible is a powerful gospel. Paul went to an island, and the island chief's father had a high fever. Paul prayed and he was healed. You must know that what I am doing now is also a wonderful thing.

Some time ago, I went to buy a house and met a real estate businessman there. Although he also believed in the Lord, the gospel he believed in didn't seem to have much power. When he saw what I was doing, he was healed, and he came over and said, Can you pray for me? When I prayed for him, he felt a cool air coming out of his shoulder, and then he was healed. Later I called him and asked, How is your arm? He said, It's completely healed. If you really know Jesus Christ and have such a relationship with Jesus Christ, what other problems cannot be solved?

Before, we didn't have a treasure, so we grabbed randomly. Knowing Jesus Christ is the source of all our needs, and all our needs can be satisfied in God's presence. This is a path of faith. Everything Paul preached was a path of faith. Today, if someone wants to confuse you and lead you astray from the path of faith. Speaking in tongues comes from the Holy Spirit, and what comes from the Holy Spirit is definitely not based on feeling but on faith. We must begin to walk the path of faith. The faith written in Romans begins with faith and leads to faith, so that we may know Jesus Christ, practice the path of faith, and know the power of God's resurrection. With the ability to release Jesus Christ's resurrection power from the dead, what problems cannot be solved?

Simply Choose to Believe in God, Do Not Be Confused

If there are no signs and wonders following, is this a believing person or an unbelieving person? A person without signs and wonders following is an unbeliever. If you choose to believe, begin to walk the path of Jesus Christ, and know that Jesus Christ is a powerful gospel, preaching a powerful gospel, then signs and wonders will follow.

I know a brother who is a deacon in the church. He printed many pieces of paper with the words This gospel is the power of God on them and placed them on the counter in the church, but their pastor said that this was added to the Gospel of Mark by later people, and it was not the original text. Many people think that this sentence should not appear in the Gospel of Mark, saying that it was added. The Gospel of Mark describes the power of God in the preceding verses. We cannot deny the word of God. We must know Jesus Christ, walk the path of faith, imitate Jesus Christ, imitate the Apostle Paul, walk the path of imitation every day. How is it possible that you are not like Jesus Christ? How is it possible that you are not like Paul?

But many are not like them, and they don't even have power. Paul spent more than a year establishing a church in Corinth, and then went to other places. As a result, another group of people came to the church in Corinth and said that Paul was a liar, and the people who had originally followed Paul actually believed these people. Paul said:

For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power. (1 Corinthians 4:20)

Paul said this not because of anything else, but because he used the power of God to prove that he was an apostle chosen by God. We must restore such a gospel.

And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. (1 Corinthians 2:4-5)

It's like speaking in tongues. Some people say how can we know that what we are saying comes from God? It is because we believe. Don't be confused often. It is not beneficial to be confused often. Walking the path of faith can release the power of God. If we believe in a gospel that is not powerful, what we thought was beneficial before will now be considered loss; what we considered treasure before will now not be treasure in our hearts.

Faith Can Release the Power of God

We must be wise people, knowing that we have not done it right. If you have built an airplane that cannot fly, you know it; if you have built a car that cannot run, you also know it. As long as we thirst, God shows no partiality. Wherever I go, I am not always pleasing to people, because I often challenge people. People treat bad things as treasures, but do not believe in good things. I don't want to harm people. I want people to know that what they thought was beneficial before should be considered loss for Christ. Do I fully know our God? No, I am still striving to pursue Him today.

Once I went to a city to visit a pastor couple who were the pastors of another pastor couple. I was attending a study class there, and because there was a lot of ministry work, I served at home. I saw this pastor couple coming over, looking like they were quite sick. I asked, What's wrong? She said she couldn't eat or sleep well. After obtaining her consent, I prayed for her. As a result, after praying, she ate two sandwiches by herself.

The next day, she brought her husband to find me. Her husband had had lumbar and cervical spine problems for more than twenty years. As a result, his eyes were full of confusion, because he was also a pastor himself. He was willing to endure the pain! As a result, the wife kept persuading him from the side. Later, I prayed for him. As I prayed for him, I saw a large lizard lying on his back. After casting out the evil spirit from his body, his lumbar and cervical spine problems were all healed. But their pastor was in another room. How could they turn a blind eye? This surprised me very much!

Many people say that I don't have this gift, but the most important thing is your faith. If you don't have faith, then strive to build up faith. We must believe in the word of God. The devil is striving to make the powerful gospel powerless. Now I am afraid when I see the words preacher. I don't know what to do when I see preachers, because these people often preach a powerless gospel. If someone tells you that I was trained in the 1980s and that it came from God.

If someone releases these confusions, you can expose their essence with one sentence. Where he was trained does not explain anything. That it came from God also does not explain anything. Just ask him, How do you know it came from God? If he answers: When I prayed at that time, I felt all the hairs on my body stand up, can that prove it? Does the Bible say these things? If you want to see the results, ask yourself, Are you like Jesus? Today, many people like to release confusion. In fact, it only takes one sentence to see if they are like Jesus. If Jesus doesn't do it, you do a lot of it; if Jesus doesn't say it, you say a lot of it; if Jesus doesn't talk about it, you talk about a lot of it, talking as if it is the word of the Bible, but not quite, and they like to examine whether speaking in tongues comes from God, keeping the law, behavior, morality, and the road of circumcision.

circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee; concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. (Philippians 3:5-7)

We must all walk the path of faith, because the path of faith can release the power of God.

Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the mutilation! For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh (Philippians 3:2-3)

We Must Have Sustained, Real Faith

Our Jesus has opened up the path of faith for us. Previously, I met two pastor couples. Later, I saw them in large hospitals in big cities seeking medical treatment. Didn't they see what I was doing? Do they still not believe that our Jesus Christ is the supreme treasure? A member of a church contacted me because of severe head pain. From her teens to her forties, for more than twenty years, she attended all the big and small evangelistic meetings, but she was not healed. Their pastor avoids her when he sees her. Really not bragging, with names and surnames, her mother has kidney cancer and praying with us has very good effect. I prayed with her for five minutes, and the headache was immediately healed. She was confused as to why she had not been healed after going to so many big pastors, but she was healed in a few minutes when she came to me. I said if I don't solve your headache problem, I will arrange for people to serve you until you are completely released. I have the faith to persevere until you are completely released. Of course, is our faith a continuous faith? It's good if you get better, it doesn't matter if you don't.

Some time ago, I went to another place to minister. More than a hundred church leaders were jumping up and down there. Their pastor prayed on the stage, saying a few words into the microphone, and the people below fell to the ground. I wondered what they were doing, so I didn't fall down. They asked me to go up and share:

And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. (1 Corinthians 2:4-5)

Paul said it so well, show me what you've got. If you have a treasure in your hand, use it. I said I like to pray for lumbar and cervical spine problems the most. Those who need it can raise their hands. I saw that almost a hundred people needed it. I wondered, what were you doing falling back and forth just now? My co-worker and I prayed with them, and many of them relaxed. A pastor from a church brought a member with mental problems to me, and then prayed in the name of Jesus there for two sentences and said to me, Leave it to you. What kind of faith is that? I am not discerning good and evil. Later, she was completely released and kept listening to me in the front row for the next two days.

Today, everyone must know that you and I must walk this path of faith, and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. The price we pay in service is really not bragging, far exceeding the pastors I know, because I imitate Him, and also know His sufferings, and even imitate His death. This path of faith is real, playing fake is useless. If we have continuous faith in our hearts, you will definitely be released, and you will definitely seize the treasure of Jesus Christ, because only faith can release the power of God.

Believe and You Shall Receive

And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. (Mark 11:20-24)

Today, we must understand this: believe and you shall receive. If you believe you will not receive, how can you then receive? Our treasure, faith, is the key. Faith can unleash the power of God. If, standing before the cave of Alibaba, one shouts, “Green bean, open sesame!” it will not open. “Red bean, open sesame!” the door remains shut. Even “Mice love rice” will not work. Only “Open sesame” unlocks the door, for it is the key to Alibaba's treasure.

We must know that the faith within you can unlock the gates of God's kingdom. Faith can release the power of God. The path we walk today is a path of practicing faith. Whatever you pray for, believe that you receive it, and you shall receive it. Jesus placed no conditions, none at all. Our Lord Jesus performed a peculiar act, cursing the fig tree, and it withered. Why a fig tree? What it is is not important. Whatever problem you face, it must be moved by your faith. I relish releasing faith, building up the faith of others. To pastor is to release faith, to build up the faith of our brothers and sisters in God. I am profoundly energized when I speak of such things.

A businessman was stuck in one place for many years, unable to get his business off the ground. One day, at a breakfast meeting where we prayed together, I saw him pushing a stone as tall as a multi-story building. The stone would not budge. I opened my eyes and said, “Brother, I saw a vision. This stone must be moved!” We continued to pray. I saw this large stone begin to shrink into smaller stones, until he stepped on it. The next day, this brother called me. His problem was resolved. Things had inexplicably worked out. We must know that even mountains of difficulty must be moved from before you.

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. (Mark 11:23-24)

Many among us are impoverished. You must be freed from the curse of poverty! For in God's kingdom, there is no poverty. Because we hold Jesus Christ in our hands, we know that Jesus Christ is a treasure. Let the impoverished emerge from poverty, the sick from sickness, the hopeless regain the hope of eternal life, the joyless begin to recover joy. Just believe that you receive, and you shall receive. Believe that all our needs are met in Jesus Christ. Need you collapse? No need!

Last week, a sister called me, saying she was about to meet a client, a deputy general manager of a corporation, whom she had managed to secure an appointment with. She asked what she should say. I told her what to say, but it was not of much use. The sister entered the deputy general manager's office, spent merely a dozen minutes presenting the product and service, and the deputy general manager immediately said he would fly over next month to sign the contract. Upon returning, she sent me a message, saying the sale was a success, that she was too blessed!

Today, we must be certain, no longer relying on our own wisdom or talent. It is not because of your wisdom or talent that problems are solved, but by the power of God! Today, let a restored faith in God arise within you. Know that we know Jesus Christ, that He is the God of heaven and heavens, that the earth and all that is upon it belong to our God. Therefore, having come to know God, shall we lack? Believe that our God is the answer to all needs.

Our Good Lies Not Apart From Him

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. (Psalm 34:10)

Today, our finances, health, and the spiritual realm are closely connected. Our God cares deeply for us in these matters. Go back and diligently read Deuteronomy 28:1-13. You will discover that our financial needs are contained within blessings, and that blessings and curses are the two most crucial words of our lives. If you are blessed, your finances, health, the fruit of your womb, the offspring of your livestock, your kneading bowl, and your bank account will all be blessed. We must know for certain that the answers to all problems are found in Jesus Christ.

I have demonstrated many things to all of you, as Paul did. The gospel I believe must be the same as Paul's, truly becoming more and more like it. How many healings have occurred among us! All who come among us are healed. If the need for health is met, what is this if not a treasure? Jesus Christ truly cares greatly for our health. For by Jesus' stripes, we are healed.

After the Lunar New Year, someone posted online that the world's largest hospital was suddenly flooded with twenty thousand people, a dark and overwhelming mass! But today, many brothers and sisters among us, after the Lunar New Year, have been healed through prayer. Finances and health are basic human needs. Once your body is well and your finances are turned around, you must then have the need for destiny!

We once did not know why we lived, but now we do. We live to live for God. We once lived for food, for the belly, but today we no longer take the belly as our god, no longer taking work or family as our god. We live for God. God is very clear about human needs. If a person loses destiny, simply living to live, it can be seen in their eyes. If a person has destiny, their eyes radiate the same light as God's.

When God created man, He was very clear about how man should live. It is very difficult for a person who lacks destiny to not know why they are alive! Some set their minds on earthly things, and their end is destruction.

Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.(Philippians 3:19)

We need God, we need destiny, and blessings and curses are closely tied to destiny. How can a person live without hope? We hope for heavenly glory, and one day, this lowly body of ours will be transformed to be like Jesus Christ's glorious body. We have a need for joy. If you are not joyful, if there is no hope, destiny, or blessing within you, how can you be joyful? A person's life is simply a feeling. If one feels joy, it is a joyful life; if one feels entangled, it is an entangled life. If we attain destiny, even the greatest suffering in the world is but a momentary, light affliction, unable to rob us of our feeling of joy.

We must know that living out God's glorious image is a splendid life. Wherever we go, through faith, let us release the goodness of God, release the power of this treasure. If you know Jesus Christ, begin to practice the path of faith. For our good lies not apart from Him, and so begin to strive, for this is the answer Paul gives us. Do not be enemies of the cross.

Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:12-14)

Each time I recall the path of glory and eternal hope set before me, each time I recall the immeasurable, eternal glory God will accomplish in us, I disregard this momentary, light affliction. Even if serving is tiring, it is nothing extraordinary! With the heart of a father and mother, emulate the Apostle Paul, serving those in need on earth.

We must begin to emulate Paul:

Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. (Philippians 3:17)

Paul's ministry has influenced entire subsequent generations. The Book of Philippians was written in prison. He was unable to attend the church, but he was with the church, for he was together with them in spirit through letters. The ministry through the internet was not initiated by us, but by Paul. Paul wrote letters in prison, shepherding that generation, like a bright light illuminating a dark generation. Today, do not be enemies of the cross. Do not turn the mighty treasure into a powerless toy. That is not the gospel. Even if they quote scripture, it will not change the fact that the gospel of God is a gospel of power, nor will it alter God's plan.

Today, let us strive together, let us pursue together, that is the path of Mingding Destiny! This is the era when God is restoring the truth of the Bible to us Chinese, manifesting God's glory through us Chinese! How fortunate I am to be a Chinese, serving our God in this era, emulating the Apostle Paul. I believe that our ministry today will influence many future eras. As long as Jesus Christ has not yet returned, much of the work we do today will influence many people. This is Mingding Destiny.

Over the past few days, I have been excitedly telling everyone, “There is a child, 20 years old, who cannot figure out addition within ten. He came to me. I know I cannot, but my God can! My God is a God of great power.” We continuously prayed, dealing with the demons behind him, and he even saw the appearance of these demons with his own eyes! Within this half-month, he has learned addition and subtraction within ten, and even has some concept of multiplication. This is not because of anything else, but because I know the Lord Jesus Christ. In my Lord Jesus Christ, there is no despair, no difficult task, and the word 'impossible' does not exist.

Over the past many years, God has performed many miracles through my hands, allowing my life to experience many marvelous things for no reason. Is it not said that knowing my Lord Jesus Christ is the most precious thing? I long for my team, my brothers and sisters, to rise up and live a splendid life, with signs and wonders following them daily, releasing captive souls daily, and defeating the demonic enemy daily! How many people need this treasure! If you still do not know that God is a treasure, do you not need to repent?
