Introduction
Hello everyone! Today we are going to study the second chapter of the Book of Genesis. It's a very exciting thing to preach on Genesis. Genesis is good!
Today, let's ask a question: "After the first chapter of Genesis, what is the second chapter of Genesis about?" In the past two days, I have been thinking hard, and finally, I understand that the second chapter is explaining the details of creation in the first chapter so that you can understand one of the mysteries of God's creation. In fact, the second chapter explains that all of God's creation has lives, which is the topic of today's sermon because:
This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the Lord God made the earth and the heavens. (Genesis 2:4 )
God created an ecology, a very organic organism. What does it mean to be an organism? That is the creation of life; it can live by itself.
Why does the iPhone sell so well? Because it established an iPhone ecology, and then there are many software companies, and hardware companies lying in the ecology above to "eat." Later, you will find that Google has also established an ecology. Therefore, if you want to live, you have to enter the chain of ecology.
God created a big ecology; there are trees, mountains, forests, hills, valleys, water, rivers, and seas. In this ecology, every living creature is doing its vocation, and many things are useful. For example, the crow has a use for the crow, the vulture has a use for the vulture, and even the dung beetle has a use for the dung beetle. So God has established a whole ecology, and they are all alive and all have the basic law of being alive because all of God's creation have lives.
There is a Christian doctrine that says they don't study this thing of being alive, but instead, they study what happens after death. You can't study things that happen after death. Nowadays, the only major medical sciences in the world are Western medicine and Chinese medicine. What do they each study?
Recently, I bought a book called "The Human Body Manual." After I read it, I found a very interesting sentence, "Chinese medicine studies the living." The foundation of Western medicine starts with anatomy. Can you do anatomy on a living person? No, so, Chinese medicine is the study of people while they are alive, and Western medicine is the study of people after they are dead.
This Christianity is interesting. I have seen many Christians living for death. Today, let me give you an idea, we are not studying the dead. Some Christians will say they can go to heaven when they die. Where is heaven? In the west or in the east? Are you going to the west or the east? Where does that confidence come from?
Today, the Doctrine of Destiny begins with the book of Genesis. I read the book of Genesis and got a lot of confusion, so I founded the Doctrine of Destiny. The doctrine of destiny, on the other hand, is the study of living. If you want to live well, the Doctrine of Destiny is for you. If you think it doesn't matter if you live well or not because you can go to heaven when you die, then the Doctrine of Destiny is not for you because the Doctrine of Destiny is the study of what happens when people live.
Our God is the God of the living, not the God of the dead. In fact, when I started the process of creating the Doctrine of Destiny, I never studied whether people go to heaven after they die because we have never been there, and even if we go there, what if we can't come back? Therefore, it is impossible to study this thing. Later, when I read the book of Genesis and what Jesus said, it turned out that our God is the God of the living. We need to study the living and learn how to live in the glorious image of Jesus Christ. So, living is very important!
During my ministry, I found that many people do not know how to study. We have to be experts at living. Everything that God created has life. Therefore, everything that has life needs to rest.
You have seen that robots don't need sleep, but you have not seen that people don't need to sleep. Rest is very important, but rest is not the same thing as sleep.
Everything That has Life Needs to Rest
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
2By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. (Genesis 2:1-3)
God rested! If you have ever studied the word "rest" in depth, you will find that when a person rests, he lives in a rhythm. He will rest when it is time to rest and work when it is time to work. His whole life will be very rhythmic; on the contrary, a person who does not rest will be very chaotic and busy, and when he does something, he will do it in a very messy way.
If a person's heart is so busy that it seems to have a lot of work to do, that is a state of death for the heart. Then I will give you an advice: you need to rest.
Some people say that they want to rest every day. I said that what you are saying is not what God said. God said to rest on the seventh day after six days of work. The Sabbath was created by God. The concept of "rest" doesn't affect your work; it's a scientific study, and it also comes from the Bible. According to the research, people who work six days and "rest" one day have a higher production rate than people who work seven days straight, because we are human beings. Even a machine, such as a car, needs to be refuelled and repaired.
Let me tell you about scientific management. Do things when you want to do them, and do not do things when you do not want to and do not do things when you do not want to. The value created is only high when people are willing to do it, because I know that people need "rest."
In the past, when we still had a physical church, if I was preaching on stage and I saw someone who wanted to sleep, I would look at him and feel very bad. I would stop and tell them, "Sleep well if you want to sleep. "Rest" is important! I'd rather you sleep well until we finish the meeting with the "Amen!" Then you can go out and do your work well.
If you are a human being, you must follow the laws of life. To follow the Sabbath is to walk with God, and that is the law of the Sabbath. As long as we are human beings, we should live according to God's rules, work when we should work, and rest when we should rest. I think we have to understand what we are living for. Do not rest every day or work every day; all these are not the "rest" that God said. We really have to thank the God who created the universe. He is really good! He created us as humans, not robots.
Seed is God's creation
Seeds are beneficial because they have limitless potential and are living beings. If you harvest seeds from one acre, you can plant ten acres next year. We have to thank God for creating seeds so that everyone has food to eat. If God sends down bread and there is only enough of that bread for 100 million people, then what should a billion people who can't eat it do? Seed is interesting. It must be planted by men so that people can begin cultivating within six days. This is what you sow is what you get!
Farmers sow in the spring and harvest in the fall. If you watch TV and brush your phone in the spring, then you can only collect grass in the fall. God made the seed; if you do not work and rest all week, then in the fall, you can only collect a bag of grass seeds. Other people can eat bread, bake pizza, and make dumplings, while you can only wrap grass at home.
Seeds are alive; once someone found a wheat seed inside the pyramids. It was said to be from the time of Joseph, more than 3,000 years ago. Then this wheat seed was planted, and it actually grew! Seeds have infinite possibilities. If you plant a seed of blessing, you will receive the blessing; if you plant a seed of curse, you will receive the curse. Today you need to see what you are planting.
Ship your grain across the sea; after many days you may receive a return. (Ecclesiastes 11:1)
Brothers and sisters find that I often do this and think I am losing out, but I am not. I am sowing the seeds of blessing in the spiritual world. It looks like a big loss to people, but in fact, instead of a loss, I am full of God's blessings.
Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them. (Psalm 126:6)
If God had not created this law of seeds, I would not have been able to receive them, and the seeds that were once planted with blessings were rewarded a hundred times. I hope that one day I will see my own spiritual children all over the earth, and that one day I will return to God with the fruit of my work.
but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. (Genesis 2:6)
The seed did not grow when it was in the ground, and then the mist went up and nourished the earth. Did the chicken or the egg come first in this world? The seed must have come first! Once the seeds are there, the eggs are the same as the seeds. We don't care whether there was a chicken or an egg, but seeds come first. God built the species according to the laws of biology. Then each species has a seed, and the chicken will give birth to a chick and the duck will give birth to a duck.
God made the seeds, and so did the animals. They have the earliest genes, the chromosomes, that determined what the species would be like. The reproduction of species is an amazing thing. Many species have males and females who will mate to produce offspring.
God created the seed, and we must begin to handle the laws of this seed, and what you plant is what you harvest. When people handle the law of seeds, they have to sow more seeds of blessing. The curse and the blessing are both due to the seed. The result of my research is that you plant a curse today, nothing will happen tomorrow because the seeds haven't grown yet. What you planted may take ten years to bear fruit, and when the fruit grows out, it will be over. It may be late, but it will never be absent.
If people do not have the concept of seeds and think that they will plant today and harvest tomorrow, this is not the law of seeds. Every living thing needs time to grow, just like a child is conceived in its mother's womb for 10 months before it is born. Many things need time, and because of that, it is valuable. We need to have faith during this process.
Remember that if you sow seeds of blessing, sooner or later, you will get blessings. And if you sow cursed seeds, sooner or later, you will be cursed. However, don't be afraid if we have sown many curses in the past because Jesus died on the cross for us. If we repent, no matter how many years have passed, he will wipe out all the curses we have sown in the past. The greatest fear is continuing to sow curses after knowing God! ** Do not be ignorant; know what we are sowing. It would be a tragedy to plant a curse and think it is a blessing. When you plant a seed, you must have faith because harvesting takes time.
Man is a living being with a spirit
Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. (Genesis 2:7)
Man lives by the Spirit. The difference between a living man with the spirit and a living man without the spirit is big. Every living thing must be spiritual. God breathed into man's nostrils, and he became a living person with the Spirit. Once the spiritual breath leaves, the man looks as if he is still alive, but in fact, he is already dead. Therefore, we Christians must often be filled with the spirit of God. In the year of Adam, Adam ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and died. Today we allow the spirit of God to fill us, and the body will come to life again. The spirit of God will change our concept of living.
The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you — they are full of the Spirit and life. (John 6:63)
If you think that it is the flesh that makes you live and the flesh that makes you die, then I can only say good luck because you don't know how you died. The spirit is what Jesus said; it is life. There are times when I ask people to read the word of God, and they read it and become stressed. If reading God's word is stressful, then don't read it, and take medication, electrotherapy, or chemotherapy if you want. I told you to eat the word of God because "it is the spirit that keeps you alive."
It is the spirit that makes people live, and it is also the spirit that makes people die. If a man cannot let the spirit of God fill him, it is a tragedy. The spirit of cancer enters a man's body because men belong to the carnal. It is simple to understand that man lives by the Holy spirit .
Only those who have the spirit are alive, but those who do not have the spirit are dead. A person dies and the spirit of God leave is because man ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God made the seed, so man has to know what he sows and what he gets. And we must walk with faith if we are the ones who sow and harvest today. The spiritual man must be the one who lives by faith. A person who is spiritually alive will be filled with inspiration and have a spiritual perspective on life.
In the past, we lived badly because we didn't have the spirit of God. The spiritual man works, does things, learns, and acts through the power of the Holy spirit . It is a tragedy that people do not know the truth and do not know what it is to live.
The word of God is the spirit ; it is the life, and you will slowly find that there is nothing wrong with sleeping more or less because you didn't miss anything. Many people have testified to me that they have been blessed with the transcription ministry and that their businesses have become better. We must understand that we do not live by our business.For example, if you open a business without God's presence, customers will go to the next door; if you have God's presence, customers will come to your store. If you rely on the spirit of God, you will prosper, and you will save time and money by having one less illness, which is much better than those who are in debt.
It is a tragedy if people live without the Holy spirit and do not know God.
People come into the world not knowing that they have to live by the spirit of God, but for a spiritual man, God's spirit will bring him to eternal life. It is your choice whether you want to be a living person or a dead person. If men are spiritually dry, they always do stupid things. If you want to be a spiritual person, you need to read God's word. Man does not live by hospitals, jobs, relatives and friends, and the world.
You need to know that it is not that I want to serve you, but that you need to be served. Today I am ministering to you to understand the "spiritual principle of living." It is the spirit that makes people live, and it is the spirit that makes people die. I want to finish my journey in the world and return to God as soon as possible. I live for God because I live by God's word and by God's spirit. As a result, the more I lived, the more I prospered, and the more I wanted to leave this world, the more I could not leave.
When my mom ended up in the hospital, she often saw people being carried out of the room when they died, so I said, "Mom, let's not live in this place anymore." My mom agreed, and we were discharged. Thanking God that my mom finally understood that it is the spirit that keeps people alive. I hope brothers and sisters listen to what I have said.
May the Lord bless you!
