The Myth of Stealing God's Glory

Last week, I recorded a couple of voice messages to lead everyone in prayer, and many people experienced deliverance, which was truly exciting! This is a remarkable generation. In fact, in the Bible, these miraculous events far surpass those of our time. Back then, when handkerchiefs that had touched the Apostle Paul were placed on people, they were healed. This was a result of the great working of God's Spirit.

Today, we eagerly desire the great working of God's Spirit among us. If we want God's Spirit to work among us, we need to do one thing: thoroughly change the thoughts and intentions within us. Most importantly, we must correct the myths surrounding healing and deliverance, because this is a critical matter. Many people have received incorrect teachings about healing and deliverance. Let us examine, one by one, how these myths corrupt people's ability to receive healing. The first myth about healing and deliverance that I want to discuss is the myth of stealing God's glory.

This myth has appeared in many places. For example, when I pray for someone and they are healed, some people say, “You are stealing God’s glory!” Let's consider this: What does it mean to steal God's glory? I truly have not seen this concept of stealing God’s glory in the Bible. When the disciples healed the sick and cast out demons in Jesus' name, or when Jesus sent them out to heal and cast out demons, I did not see anyone say, Ah! You are stealing God's glory.

John chapters 14, 11, and 17 all discuss glory. How do they discuss it? They speak of the glory of the Father and the glory of the Son. The Bible says, The Father is glorified in the Son, and God glorifies the Son, and the Son glorifies God. If you and I follow the example of Jesus Christ, are we not doing the same? God will also be glorified through us, and we will be glorified through God.

Let us read John 17:1-2:

“After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. (John 17:1-2)

In fact, the Father and the Son are one. Shouldn't we, as children of God, also pursue unity with God? If our glory is God's glory, and God's glory is our glory, then where does this talk of stealing God's glory come from? I later realized that the concept of stealing God's glory is a lie from the devil. The Bible never says that the Son steals the Father’s glory, nor does it say that Jesus steals the glory of the Heavenly Father, or that the Heavenly Father steals the glory of Jesus. There is no such thing. We pursue the path of unity with God. If my glory is God's glory, and God's glory is my glory, then we can let go of many worries and remove many unnecessary things.

In my view of healing and deliverance, wherever I go, I will talk about what God has done through my hands. When I say this, it causes considerable trouble for some people. They say, Why don't you give glory to God? Is it really that important whether I say Glory to God? When I read the Bible, I don't see Paul shouting Ah, glory to God! after doing everything. That seems very religious. I am an engineer by training. “Oh, thank the Lord! Glory to God!” I really don't like that. I prefer to be practical, God's glory is my glory! So wherever I go, I never say these religious things.

In fact, my approach is correct, because in Acts and thereafter, they all spoke in this way. We must restore this powerful gospel. We need to let the glory of God be revealed again in this generation. If a person can become a vessel that manifests God's glory, that is pleasing to God. The Father is glorified through the Son, and the Son is glorified through the Father. It is a concept of sharing glory. If we share glory with God today, we can perform many miracles.

“Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward. (Matthew 10:41)

This verse in the Bible does not say to receive a prophet because of God's name, but it says that if you receive a prophet because of his name as a prophet, and receive a righteous person because of his name as a righteous person, you will receive the benefits of a prophet and the benefits of a righteous person. Matthew 10:41, so I suggest everyone examine this. This verse clearly tells us that when we go out, we represent God. Our names are linked to God's name, and we share glory with God.

Wherever I go, I will not say, Oh, I can't do it. Jesus certainly can, but I can't. How will people trust you then? Wherever I go, I will talk about what I do. Because I cast out demons in the name of Jesus Christ, people's illnesses are healed. I don't cast out demons in my own name, but in the name of Jesus Christ. Therefore, the glory of Jesus Christ is my glory, and my glory is the glory of Jesus Christ. I no longer separate them. If any of us want to greatly improve in healing and deliverance, we must overcome this hurdle.

Wherever you go, you must talk about what God has done through your hands. My testimony is very interesting. Once, I went out to have breakfast with someone, and she told me about her problem, which was menstrual pain. She covered her stomach self-consciously and asked me what to do. I said, Do you know that when I pray for people with menstrual pain, they are healed?

Her eyes lit up immediately. I continued, Place your hand on your stomach and follow me in prayer. I will say a sentence, and you repeat it after me: In the name of Jesus Christ, I break the curse of childbirth on women! In the name of Jesus Christ, I command the spirit of menstrual pain to leave me! The sensation of menstrual pain must completely disappear! As a result, within a few minutes, her pain completely disappeared.

If I hadn’t said those initial words, and instead told her, My prayers for people are never effective, but Jesus will heal you, it would be as good as not saying anything at all. Many Christians today cannot solve people's problems and even create many difficulties. They find many excuses and fig leaves for their lack of faith and for not being like Jesus.

We must know that the thing God dislikes the most is unbelief. During the three years of Jesus' ministry, he kept saying, “You crooked and perverse generation, you unbelieving people, you rebellious people!” It was all about faith. Without faith, there are no signs and wonders. Finding a fig leaf is inappropriate and does not align with God's will.

The Myth of Relying on Feelings in Healing and Deliverance

In my practice, I will examine the Bible and see what it says. I have found that the hindrance to healing and deliverance comes from the devil. Many people believe the powerful gospel as if it has no power, which itself is a very serious problem. Many people like to seize a certain passage from the Bible and say, I can only do it when I have the Holy Spirit's prompting. If I don't have the prompting, I can't do it.

The Bible does say not to quench the Spirit, but it does not say that we cannot act without the Spirit's prompting, because we Christians do not walk by feelings, but by faith. I have a lovely colleague whose hair stands on end when he is moved by the Holy Spirit, but that doesn't happen often. I asked him, Why don't you share The Good News with your wife?

He said, I need to wait for my hair to stand up. He said that his hair not standing up meant there would be no effect when sharing the gospel, but his hair rarely stands up. Indeed, his hair has stood up before, and it was very effective when it did, but it doesn't happen often. The key is not whether the hair stands up, but what our faith is like inside.

My view is simple: I do what the Bible says. The Bible says that signs and wonders will accompany those who believe. So even if I originally have no faith at all, as I continue to act in faith, I see the Spirit of God begin to work. God works with us to solve many problems. I encourage everyone to break free from the many myths about healing and deliverance, including the myth of the Holy Spirit's prompting. We must act in faith, because faith produces the prompting. Many times, people act based on their feelings. I am very opposed to acting based on feelings, because the Bible does not say that we should act based on our feelings.

I do it when I feel good, and I still do it when I don't feel good. In fact, when I minister, I often encounter difficult situations. My feelings are often not good at all. There are too many problems around me that need to be solved, and I feel very hopeless when I see these problems. However, even when my faith is almost gone, I persist in faith. Brothers and sisters, know that signs and wonders will accompany those who believe.

It is not that we only do it when we feel good, or that we don't do it when we don't feel anything, but that we do it in faith, in season and out of season, because we are vessels that manifest God's glory. We manifest God's glory, and whether it is in season or out of season, we act according to God's word. God's promises will come upon us. Believe that you have received, and you will surely receive. This is the promise Jesus gave us. Because whatever we ask, our Father in heaven will grant it to us, and our Father will be glorified through us.

Many times, after we pray for people, they are healed at the time but relapse later. Many people think that they have not been healed, but in my mind, I believe that they have been healed. Relapses are normal. After a demon is cast out, it will definitely return, because you invite it back. I ministered to a sister for many years, but this sister invited the demon back. I cast the demon out, and she invited it back again. As a result, one day when I was casting out the demon, the demon inside her said, This person is too bad! She invites me in, and you beat me. After you beat me, she invites me back. Is it a problem if it happens repeatedly? No problem.

Some people told me that decades ago, in the early days of the charismatic movement, they did this. They experienced many signs and wonders at the time. He said to me, What's the use of casting out demons? They come back after being cast out. We don't do that anymore. We are tired of playing with that. In his team, there was a colleague who came in with a cane. I happened to be sitting next to him.

I like to pass on faith wherever I go. I told him, God will surely heal you! He said, I am over seventy years old and often lie in bed in pain, unable to sleep. I said, Call me when you are uncomfortable. I usually don't sleep before two or three in the morning. As a result, he really called me that night because he was in so much pain. Demons tend to be more rampant at night.

They said, Oh, we are tired of casting out demons. They come back after being cast out, back and forth, with no effect. But that's not the case. When this seventy-year-old brother called me, I led him in prayer for over an hour, and his pain really lessened a lot. Many people who cast out demons feel that they are tired of it and that there is nothing to be excited about, but I haven't had enough. I want to play until one day I am like Jesus.

Later, this pastor saw me, snapped his fingers, and said to me, You should pursue being able to heal people with a snap of your fingers. Wouldn't that be great? He gave me a suggestion to pursue that snap feeling. I thought to myself, If you can't even pay the price of one and a half hours, do you think you will get that 'snap' result?

The Myth of Uprooting

There are many myths in people because they often don’t get to the root of the problems. Diseases recur, coming and going, and they lose the faith to continue. But I am different. If I can’t completely solve the problem, I will not give up. Before I was studying the Bible, a sister called me and told me about an elderly person she had been ministering to for a long time. He had many bad habits, and no matter how long she tried, she still couldn’t resolve his issues. I was very interested in this issue. I thought the incurable diseases were worth studying. So, I gave this sister a trick which worked quiet well.

As a result, this old man spoke out his thoughts one by one. The key reason that he was not healed was that he disagreed with what we said and did. When we began to establish a good relationship, including his reverence for us, he then acknowledged the love that we showed to him and then told us all thoughts that he had in his heart. As a result, he was released quickly. In fact, his problem had continued for more than a year.

I am very persistent. I will insist on solving a person’s problems until they are healed. Sometimes, even if my prayer has not yet been fulfilled, I believe that it will be fulfilled after I die. Why would I say that? Because this is called a proclamation of faith. Therefore, to remove the myth about uprooting or not uprooting, we must understand that we are facing a contest of faith with any illness. Faith represents a person’s character. If you have the blood of Abraham flowing through you, the blood of Isaac and Jacob flowing through you, if you have the character of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, your grip on God will be tight. If God does not give it to you, you will never let go, and then what you ask for will surely be obtained.

When people ask they are all too gentle. They see themselves as a gentleman. If you want to give it to me then you give. If you do not give then so be it. If that is your mentality then you will not be healed. For me, I believe in my God. I trust in my God. Those who trust in God will not be put to shame and God will answer my requests! That is the type of person God is wanting.

Moreover, what am I asking for? What I ask for is that more people will be healed and blessed. Whether or not the root is uprooted is a small thing to me. What if it is repeated a thousand times, or repeated ten thousand times? No matter, I will not give up. In my ministry, although sometimes I am a little harsh, I have never abandoned anyone because that is my responsibility before God and a proclamation of faith before God.

There are so many myths about healing and deliverance. If you do not tackle it from the root then you will give up very quickly. Then the demon will lie in front of your door and harass you at any time. When has it been ever said that once a demon has been cast out that it will never attack you again? The demons that are cast out will return. Demons will attack everyone, even Jesus was attacked by demons so why not you. The devil’s duty is to help God clean up the trash.

We must know one thing. Demons can attack people at any time. Of course, if God does not permit, the demons cannot do anything. Brothers and sisters must know that the devils minister to God. Let me give you an example. In Singapore, if people do not like to clean up themselves, they will hire foreign workers to do the cleaning work. We must know that in the church there is much trash that needs to be cleaned up. The devil does this work. One time when I was casting out devils, what the demon said to me was very interesting. It told me that it was responsible for the sewer and managed the toilet. So, the devils manage the filth. All the trash and filth belong to the filthy devils. If there is trash and filth, it will be taken away by the filthy demons.

The reason the church can become clean and holy is that God has two types of servants. There are devils as servants and angels as servants. Angels are God's servants and fallen angels are demons. Demons are also God's servants. Therefore, in the church there is trash that is cleaned up by the devils. Later, I realized that every time the church reaches a new height, the demons in many people will manifest. Some people are released and some are deceived and taken away by the devil. Those who are deceived and taken away by the devil will continue to be tortured by the devil. The devil knows they are trash and God also knows they are trash.

One time, when I was giving a sister release, the demon inside her began to talk. He said, “So and so was deceived and taken away by me. Not only did it know everything, it also said them one by one. I think it's very interesting that devils help the church clean up trash. Of course, if I say that, someone will be able to criticize me because the Bible only talks about angels being servants of God. This part after that is me talking. It is ok if you do not agree. Just treat it as me talking nonsense.

The issue of whether this root cause should uprooted or not, we return to a key point. What does it mean to uproot? To uproot means that the demon can no longer harass you. But when has that ever happen? The devil also tests Jesus often, let alone us sinners. One day I got sick, very sick. The brothers and sisters around me served me. A brother asked me, What's wrong with you?” This only proved that I was a sinner. I am indeed a sinner. Paul even said that he was the worst of sinners at the time of his death. We must never be self righteous and think that we will not get sick because that is not true.

The Myth of Denying Healing and Deliverance When Sick

We may think that the devil will not disturb us, but he often does, especially given how many ailments we have. Song Shangjie was a very famous preacher, but he had many illnesses. These persistent diseases cost him dearly. God manifested many miracles and wonders through his hands, and many were healed through his prayers. Why was he still sick himself? It only proves that both he and I are sinners. As long as we are sinners, how can we not be disturbed or get sick? Paul had an eye ailment, but God healed many people through Paul's hands. Don't think that Paul was unclean because he was sick; the two are unrelated.

One day, I was feeling sick and uncomfortable, but I still had to minister that day, and many people were healed through my ministry. By eight o'clock in the evening, I was sitting in my chair, and a brother and a sister ministered to me, and by ten o'clock, I was completely recovered. So, what is the myth we hold inside? To deny healing and deliverance because Paul was sick? That is not the case at all.

It is normal for Paul to be sick, but Paul also healed the sick and cast out demons in the name of Jesus Christ, because we are merely vessels to manifest God's glory. It is very normal for us to have weaknesses, and even with our weaknesses, we can still be used by God because our weaknesses will manifest God's strength. Don't let our weaknesses cause you to stumble; that is not worthwhile at all. We are already very weak; who can live a lifetime without getting sick? Moreover, if the devil attacks, that can be fatal. It is normal to be wounded or injured on the spiritual battlefield; who can avoid injury completely? But even if I am injured, I will not retreat.

Come out of this confusion. Paul's illness has nothing to do with others being healed. Another time, it was argued that Paul told the Galatians to drink some wine; drinking some wine has nothing to do with ministering to the Galatians. When I do healing and deliverance myself, I also have them press on this and that acupoint. I find that many people's reading of the Bible is not even at the elementary school level. Elementary school students can grasp some themes when reading texts. Are these two things related? Not in the slightest.

The Myth of Taking or Not Taking Medicine

So, whether to take medicine or not is also a myth. Some people think that being healed without taking medicine is true healing. As for medicine, take it if you want to, and don't take it if you don't want to. Paul said, He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks. Have you ever heard Paul teach people not to take medicine? To tell people not to see doctors or take medicine? I have never taught that way. I will not advise people to see a doctor or not; I only have one suggestion: to overcome your weaknesses through Jesus Christ, to be a victorious soldier, and to accomplish the glory of Jesus Christ in the spiritual world.

Regarding taking medicine, take it if you want to, and don't take it if you don't want to; it has no impact. Sometimes I even use acupuncture. In earlier years, I heard a foreigner say that acupuncture was witchcraft, but I started learning acupuncture in the third grade of elementary school, sticking needles into myself, so I have a little knowledge of acupuncture, though my skills are not refined, and my level is average. I think we should not be limited by these things, whether to take medicine or not, it has no relation.

I think everyone should not set limits when doing healing and deliverance. The patient's level is what it is, and the patient's faith is not at that level. That's okay. As long as he desires to be healed, that desire is an expression of faith. I say, Do you believe in healing and deliverance? Even though he looks doubtful, I tell him firmly: I will pray for you, and you will be healed. My God will surely heal you! Then I share some testimonies to build up his faith, and then I lead him in prayer.

Our God has opened a door of grace for us. Many people think that only when the ailments on their bodies are removed can they be completely healed. But that is not the case. It is only after the disease is healed that the ailments on the body can be removed. So don't think that the Bible doesn't talk about it; the Bible speaks very clearly. These people went through all the cities and villages without changing any of their ailments, still with a lot of bad habits and a lot of problems, but Jesus still freely gave them grace. Is our God not a God who freely gives grace?

So, by all means, do not carry various myths. For example, that you cannot be healed until the ailments on your body are removed. This is not what I teach. But in the process of healing and deliverance, I will encourage him to deal with the bad habits on his body after returning home; otherwise, these problems will still come to trouble you. The root cause of all human diseases is a failure to carefully follow God's word. So, after healing and deliverance, it is important to teach the word of God and have him carefully follow it.

The Myth of Whether to Ask If You Believe in the Lord

There are many such myths. Some people immediately ask others: Do you believe in Jesus? If you don't, then never mind. These words are strange. In fact, that person does not disbelieve; he is very eager for Jesus to heal him. Asking people if they believe seems like it is to get them to join a religion, as if they must join a religion to receive healing. How frightening is that! In fact, there is no need to do that at all. As long as that person is eager, lead him in prayer and let him experience healing.

As for whether he wants to continue to follow after being healed, that is his choice. He is free to do whatever he wants. By all means, do not morally kidnap people. Jesus never forced people to follow Him. Do not think that you have done someone a favor by leading them to be healed. There is no need to think that way. Because Jesus Christ is a supreme treasure, those who are willing to hold on to this treasure tightly will run forward with us, and it is normal for those who are not willing to follow.

The Myth of Going to the Hospital for Check-ups

There are also many confusions. For example, a sister's cervical spine was loosened and felt comfortable. Then, after a long time, after participating in the company's annual check-up and taking an X-ray, it showed that her cervical spine was not good. But why was her cervical spine fine before? We need to know that the X-ray does not explain the problem; your own feelings can explain the problem. For example, with a headache, what can you see on an X-ray? If your body is itchy, the X-ray will not show anything; there is nothing. Therefore, we must know that an X-ray is an X-ray, and being healed is being healed. Why does the X-ray look bad, but the person's feeling is good? Because God's spirit is there, supporting your body.

Some people were limping, and after praying and being healed, they want to go to the hospital to take an X-ray to see if they are healed. What kind of brain is this? They can walk normally, so why would that X-ray matter? Then the doctor says, Your leg is healed. I can walk, so I take an X-ray just to have the doctor tell me that so I can get confirmation from the doctor. This is too strange. You can walk; do you still need to get confirmation from someone else? The doctor is not as accurate as your own feelings. Some people were blind, but after praying, they can see. Then they still have to go to the hospital for a check-up and need the doctor to tell you that you can see. A normal person does not need to do that.

In this generation, there are many confusing things. If a child does not do well in school, they go to the doctor and are diagnosed with a learning disability. The teachers love this diagnosis the most because children with learning disabilities do not count towards the teacher's performance. The teacher's performance is not related to children with learning disabilities. So, if all the children in his class have learning disabilities, then the teacher's evaluation is very simple. It has nothing to do with the teacher not teaching well.

So, this thing is very strange, isn't it? In fact, many children are very normal; they just encounter some difficulties that they cannot overcome, and they feel uncomfortable. Who would not feel uncomfortable if they cannot overcome difficulties? If you have some confusion, you start taking anti-depressants, and if you keep taking them, you really become depressed. But some people really have depression and take medicine. So, going to the hospital for a check-up is a myth. Just believe your own feelings.

Once, my mother's lumbar spine hurt very badly. You could feel a pit when you touched it with your finger, and a piece of bone was broken. But after praying for her, she was fine and walked normally every day. Then one day, she participated in a free check-up. The doctor took an X-ray and said that according to my mother's X-ray, she should be paralyzed in bed. How can she still walk well? She went home, and her waist hurt, so she lay in bed. The reason is that she was full of confusion inside. Her waist and cervical spine were paralyzed, so how could she still walk? Then I led her in prayer, and her waist was fine again.

Man lives not by the flesh, but by the Holy Spirit! When God's Spirit moves on a person, even the blind can see, and even a damaged lumbar spine can walk. I encourage everyone, don't casually go to the hospital for check-ups if nothing is wrong. This is a myth. I know a student's mother who is very interesting. She goes to the hospital for check-ups everywhere because she believes that she has cancer. She went to many hospitals, and the doctors said it was not cancer. She changed hospitals and continued to get diagnosed. Finally, she went to a hospital, and the doctor finally said that she had cancer. The doctor felt very depressed. What is she doing? Of course, this is a joke.

The Myth of Bodily Reactions During Deliverance

When we pray, there will be some reactions. These bodily reactions will become a myth. It is normal to have reactions and normal not to have reactions. I gradually discovered that many bodily reactions are very strange, such as hiccupping, shaking, and various symptoms. We focus our attention on these things, like Why am I not hiccupping yet? Why haven't I been electrocuted yet? These are not recorded in the Bible. Why did Paul heal so many people, but not write about these things when writing the Bible? Because Paul did not want people to pursue these things. It is the truth that sets you free, not these external reactions.

People are particularly prone to pursuing these bodily reactions. In fact, whether you hiccup or not is not important, being healed is key. There are records in the Bible of demons throwing people heavily to the ground, but not everyone will have this symptom. So brothers and sisters, do not pursue these things. These are definitely not the truth.

For example, Moses lifted up a bronze snake in the wilderness. Later, when people looked up at the bronze snake, they were healed. In fact, the reason why that bronze snake worked was because God commanded Moses to make this bronze snake, and then people looked up at the bronze snake and were healed. Later, people began to be superstitious about that bronze snake. This is a confusing thing. Later, Hezekiah smashed the bronze snake, and people rejected idolatry. People easily set up idols for themselves. People easily pursue those external reactions during healing and deliverance. In fact, these are not the truth. So, we must remove these myths.

There are many more myths to talk about. For example, in traditional teachings, it is said that you have to discern tongues. In fact, the Bible does not teach whether tongues come from evil spirits or from the Holy Spirit. But some situations are indeed very strange. For example, some people start howling when they are filled with the Holy Spirit when you lead them in prayer. In fact, that is not tongues; that is the cry of a demon. Demons will cry out before leaving. Is there a problem with that?

The Myth of Discerning Tongues

Some people think that evil spirits will come when you ask for the Holy Spirit to fill you. In fact, evil spirits already reside in people's bodies. When the Holy Spirit fills you, the demons make some sounds. If you continue to pray and cast out the demons, people can pray in tongues normally. That is the work of the Holy Spirit. In fact, demons want to hide in people's bodies, but when God's Spirit moves, the evil spirits cannot hide. Many people are afraid and do not know that God is still in control.

In fact, the words God is in control are very profound. Someone said, Can't God be in control? Can't God control this matter? Anyone who releases fear should not be accepted. What should be accepted is faith, knowing that our God holds all things in the universe with His almighty hands. Can't God control your life? Are you afraid just because a demon speaks in tongues? Is the problem unsolvable just because a demon speaks in tongues? Including some myths that say you cannot lay hands when praying because the demons will run onto you as soon as you lay hands on them. As a result, these words release a lot of confusion and fear.

At that time, the pastor of the church I was in taught this way. At that time, my group leader did not want to contradict the pastor, but people in the group had doubts and asked. The Bible does not say this at all. If that’s the case, if you squeeze onto a bus, so many people are next to you, how many demons would you be transmitting?

There are also many myths. For example, you have to do a cleansing prayer after praying for someone. Have you heard of it? Oh no, I forgot to do a cleansing prayer! In fact, the Bible does not teach this at all, because these teachings are all about releasing fear. Some people, because they forgot to do a cleansing prayer after praying for someone, said, It's over, it's over, I forgot to do a cleansing prayer.

In fact, where does the Bible talk about this? Why do people come up with these strange things to release fear? I only transmit faith, not fear. I think we should all fear God and learn to carefully follow God's word. If we do not carefully follow God's word, we will be cursed. In any case, we must return to God's word.

Healing and Deliverance Should Be Flexible

Some people do nothing when they minister; they just kneel on the ground with their hands clasped together. The way they act pious moves me, but what is the result? It is useless because they do nothing. You will find that when I lead people in prayer, I like to get people moving. For example, I tell them to try to raise their arm, to move their arms, to bend their waist. Why is that? Because I am building up people's faith. Some people pray in tongues all the time when doing healing and deliverance to someone. An hour passes, and the illness is still the same. This is not the way to do healing and deliverance.

We must pray with our understanding, and we must also pray in the spirit. We must teach with understanding, and we must also teach with spirituality. What we are saying is not called balance, such as balancing faith and life, or balancing church and family. Do not pursue balance; pursue trusting in God alone. Trusting in God alone is easier. For example, when I was doing healing and deliverance to someone, no matter how I prayed, it was not working. I prayed and sought God, What should I do? God gave me a revelation to press on his zu san li acupoint.

As a result, I pressed on his zu san li acupoint, and it was fine after I prayed. Another sister fell while taking a bath, and her leg was not working well. I looked at her struggling, so I grabbed the part of her leg that was injured and led her in prayer. She cried out in pain at the time. I commanded the pain to be released. In a dozen seconds, her leg was completely released. At that time, I felt that our God was really good!

In my ministry, there is no so-called method, and there is no so-called formula, only flexibility. That is the Spirit, the Spirit of the Holy Spirit. This is the best way to cast out demons. By all means, let us not do nothing, just kneel on the ground, looking very pious. I have never seen Jesus cast out demons like that.

Some people may say, Jesus knelt on the stones to pray. He sweat blood when he prayed. That is not casting out demons; that is praying. If you want to, you can, but the key is not in these things, the key is whether we carefully follow God's word, whether we can take on the mission of this generation according to God's word.

All who come to Jesus are healed. Some people say just entrust it to God. That is your fig leaf; that is called being passive. Like my ministry, that’s called entrusting. When facing the release of stubborn problems, hold on to your faith to deal with the demons and never give up unless that person rejects you. This is faith.

I have talked about so many myths. The overall meaning is to let you have faith in God, to no longer continue living in myths, but to live in the truth. Myths cannot solve problems, but the truth can set people free. May God bless everyone!

上个礼拜,我录了一两段语音条,让大家跟着祷告,然后很多人就得着了释放,这样的见证,着实令人兴奋!这是一个非常奇妙的世代,其实在《圣经》里头,这些奇妙的事远远超越我们这个世代。那个时候,使徒保罗身上所用的手绢掉到什么人身上,那人的病就得医治,也就是说,这是神的灵大大运行的一个结果。 我们今天也巴不得神的灵大大的运行在我们当中,想让神的灵运行在我们当中,我们就需要做一件事,就是我们里面的心思意念要彻底的改变。最重要的,就是对医治释放这件事情的迷思要纠正过来,因为这是一个要命的事。很多人对医治释放有着错误的教导,那我们就一个一个的来看医治释放的迷思是如何败坏人得医治的。所以我想讲的第一个有关医治释放的迷思,就是窃取神荣耀的迷思。

这个迷思在众多地方出现过,你比如说,我为某某人祷告,他就得了医治!然后有些人就说:你窃取神的荣耀。那我们来思考一件事,什么叫做窃取神的荣耀?这个窃取神的荣耀这件事,我在《圣经》里真的没有看到过,那些门徒奉耶稣的名医病赶鬼的时候,或者是耶稣派他们出去医病赶鬼的时候,我没有看到他们说:啊!你看你窃取了神的荣耀。 《约翰福音》十四章、十一章、十七章都在论述荣耀这件事。怎么论述的呢?说的是父的荣耀和子的荣耀,《圣经》说:因儿子得荣耀,神也荣耀儿子,儿子也荣耀神。现在如果你和我效法耶稣基督的话,我们是否也是同样的做法呢?神也要因我们得荣耀,我们也要因神得荣耀。 我们来读(《约翰福音》17章1~2节: **耶稣说了这话,就举目望天,说:父啊,时候到了,愿你荣耀你的儿子,使儿子也荣耀你;正如你曾赐给他权柄管理凡有血气的,叫他将永生赐给你所赐给他的人。(《约翰福音》 17:1-2 )** 其实父与子是合一的关系,那我们这群神的儿女,是不是也应该追求与神合一呢?如果我们的荣耀就是神的荣耀,神的荣耀也是我们的荣耀,那这窃取神荣耀"之说是从哪里来的呢?后来我知道窃取神荣耀"这个概念,是魔鬼的谎言。《圣经》里从来没有说儿子窃取父的荣耀,也没有说耶稣窃取了天父的荣耀,或是天父窃取了耶稣的荣耀,没有这回事。我们追求的是与神合一的道路,如果说我的荣耀就是神的荣耀,神的荣耀也是我的荣耀,我们就可以放下很多的挂虑,也除去很多没有必要的事。

那在我的医治释放观念里,我无论走到哪里,我都会讲神透过我的手所做的事。我这么讲,给很多人带去不小的困扰。他们就说,你怎么不归荣耀给神呢?其实我说不说归荣耀给神,有那么重要么?我读《圣经》,保罗哪有做一件事就喊,啊~荣耀归给神!"这看起来就很宗教化,我是工程师出身,哦~感谢主!荣耀归给神! 我真的不太喜欢。我干脆来点实在的,神的荣耀就是我的荣耀!所以无论我走到哪里,我从来不说这些宗教的话。 事实上我的做法是对的,因为在《使徒行传》以后的,他们所行的都是这么说的。我们必须恢复这大有能力的福音,我们需要让神的荣耀在这个世代重新彰显出来,人如果能成为彰显神荣耀的器皿,那是合神心意的。父因子得荣耀,子因父得荣耀,那是一个同享荣耀的概念,如果今天我们也跟神同享荣耀,就可以行很多的神迹。 **人因为先知的名接待先知,必得先知所得的赏赐;人因为义人的名接待义人,必得义人所得的赏赐。(《马太福音》 10:41 )** 《圣经》里这节经文,不是说因为神的名而接待先知,而是说,你因着先知的名接待先知,因义人的名接待义人,就必得先知的好处,也就必得义人的好处。《马太福音》10章41节,所以我想大家都可以去查考。这节经文明明的告诉我们,当我们走出去的时候,我们代表的就是神,我们的名字和神的名字连在一起,我们和神是同享荣耀。 我无论走到哪里,我都不会说,哎呀~我不行啦,耶稣当然可以啦,但是我不行啦。那人家怎么信任你呢?无论我走到哪里,我都会讲我做的事,因着我奉耶稣基督的名赶鬼,人的病就得了医治,我不是奉我自己的名赶鬼,我是奉耶稣基督的名赶鬼。所以耶稣基督的荣耀就是我的荣耀,我的荣耀就是耶稣基督的荣耀,我不再把它分开,我们当中如果有人想要在医治释放上大力提升的话,一定要把这个坎迈过去,

你走到哪里都要讲神透过你的手所做的事,我这个见证很有意思,有一次我出去跟一个人吃早餐,她就跟我讲她的问题,她的问题是月经痛,她很不好意思地捂着肚子,问我该怎么办。我说:你知道吗,我为月经痛的人祷告,她们都得着医治。 她的眼睛一下子就亮了,我接着说:把手放在你的肚子上,跟着我祷告,我说一句,你跟着我说一句,奉耶稣基督的名,断开女人生产的咒诅!我奉耶稣基督的名,命令月经疼痛的灵退出去离开我!月经疼痛的感觉要完全消失!结果,没几分钟,她的疼痛完全消失。 假如我不说前面的几句话,我这样跟她说:我为人祷告都不会好,但是耶稣会医治你的。这话说了跟没说一样,现在很多基督徒都不能解决人的问题,并且还制造出很多的困扰,他们给自己的没有信心和不像耶稣找了很多借口和遮羞布。 我们必须知道一件事,神最不喜欢的就是不信,耶稣服侍三年多的时间,一直说:这弯曲悖逆的世代,你们这些不信的人,悖逆的人啊。讲的都是跟信心有关,人不信就没有神迹奇事随着,找一块遮羞布是不妥当的,也是不符合神心意的。

在我的实践中,我会查考《圣经》,我会去看《圣经》是怎么说的,原来医治释放的拦阻是从魔鬼来的。很多人把大有能力的福音信成没有能力的,这本身就是一个很严重的问题。很多人喜欢窃取《圣经》的某一段话,就说:我要有圣灵感动才能做,没有感动就不能做。 《圣经》确实讲了不能消灭圣灵的感动,但是《圣经》并没有讲没有感动就不能做,因为我们基督徒不是行在感动里,而是行在信心里。我有一个可爱的同事,受圣灵感动的时候汗毛就立起来,但是立起来的时候不多。我问他:你为什么不给你老婆传福音? 他说:我需要等待我头发立起来。他说头发不立起来,传福音没有果效,但是他的头发很久都没有一次立起来。的确他的头发立起来过,立起来的时候非常有效,但是不常有。其实关键不是在于头发有没有立起来,而是在于我们里面的信心怎么样。

我的观念很简单,《圣经》怎么说的,我就怎么做,《圣经》说信的人必有神迹奇事随着,所以即使我本来一点信心都没有,但是当我不断的凭着信心去做的时候,我就看见神的灵开始运行,神与我们同工,解决了很多的问题。我鼓励大家从很多医治释放的迷思中走出来。还有圣灵感动的迷思,我们要凭着信心去做,因为信心才能产生感动。有很多时候,人凭着自己的感觉行事,我是很反对凭着感觉行事的人,因为《圣经》里并没有说过我们要凭着感觉去行。 感觉好的时候我做,感觉不好的时候我也照样做。其实我在服侍的时候,常常遇到一种艰难的困境,我里面的感觉常常一点都不好,我周围这些要解决的问题太多了,然后看到这些问题的时候,就非常的绝望。但是,就算在我的信心奄奄一息的时候,我也凭着信心坚持做。弟兄姐妹要知道,信的人必有神迹奇事随着。 不是感觉好的时候才去做,不是没有感觉的时候就不做,而是凭着信心,不管得时不得时都做,因为我们是彰显神荣耀的器皿。我们彰显神的荣耀,不管得时不得时,我们都照着神的话去行,神的应许会临到我们,信是得着,我们就必然得着,这是耶稣给我们的应许。因为我们无论求什么,我们的天父在天上就应允我们,这样我们的天父就因我们得荣耀。

很多时候,我们给人祷告完了,当时好了,回去又复发了,很多人就以为没有得医治,但是在我里面,我认为是得了医治的,有反复那很正常。鬼被赶走了,绝对会回来,因为你会邀请牠回来。我服侍了一个姐妹很多年,但是这个姐妹又把鬼邀请回来,我把鬼给赶出去,她又给邀请回来。结果有一天我赶鬼的时候,她里面的鬼就说:这个人太坏了,她把我邀请来,你们又打我,打完了,她又邀请我回来。反复几次有问题吗?没有问题。 有一些人就跟我说,好几十年前,在灵恩早期的时候,他们就干过这事,当时经历了很多神迹奇事,他对我说:赶鬼有什么用,赶走了又来了,现在我们已经不做了,我们过去玩这个东西已经玩腻了。当时在他的同工团队里面有一个同工,拄着拐杖进来,刚好我在旁边坐着。 我喜欢到哪里都传递信心,我告诉他,神一定会医治你的!他说:我七十多岁,躺在床上经常疼,睡不着觉。我说,你不舒服的时候打电话给我,我基本是两三点前不太睡觉的。结果,那天晚上他真的打给我,因为疼得难受,几乎每天夜里都疼。鬼在夜里往往会比较猖獗。 他们就说:哎呀,赶鬼我们都玩腻了,鬼走了还会来,来来回回,没有果效的。其实不是这么回事,这个七十岁的弟兄打给我的时候,我就带他祷告了一个多小时,他的疼痛真的减轻了很多。很多赶鬼的人觉得他们赶鬼已经玩腻了,没什么好稀奇的,但我还没玩够,我要玩到有一天像耶稣。 后来这个牧师见到我,双手打了个响指,跟我说:你应该追求给人祷告的时候,啪的一下就得医治,像这样多好啊。"他给我一个建议,让我追求啪"的那种感觉,我心里想,连一个半小时的代价都付不上,你以为就会得到啪"的结果吗?

人里面有很多的迷思,因为很多时候没有去根儿,疾病反反复复,来来去去,他们就没有信心做下去了,但我这个人不太一样,如果我不能彻底的解决问题,我绝不罢休。在我查经之前,有一个姐妹打电话过来,告诉我一个消息,她服侍了很久的一个老人家,身上恶习超多,整了很久也解决不了她的问题,我对这事很有兴趣,我觉得这种疑难杂症很值得研究,我就给这个姐妹出了一个招儿,一用还挺好。 结果这个老人家就把他心里的意念一个个都说了出来,原来他不得医治的关键,就在于他心里对我们说的做的不认同,当我们开始跟他建立起一个良好的关系,这个关系就包括他对我们的敬畏,然后他认可了我们在他身上所施展的爱心,他就把他里面的心里话全都告诉了我们,结果他很快就得到了释放。其实他的问题已经持续超过一年以上了。 我真的很有耐心,我解决人的问题,一定会坚持到好为止,有的时候,我的祷告还没有成就,我也相信在我死后也会成就,为什么这么说?因为这叫信心的宣告。所以,要除去去根和不去根的迷思,我们面对任何的疾病,都是一个信心的较量,信心就代表着人的性格。如果你身上流淌着亚伯拉罕的血液,流淌着以撒、雅各的血液,如果你身上拥有亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的性格,你就会紧紧地抓住神,如果神不给你,你就决不放手,那你求的就一定得着。 只是人在求的时候,太过温文尔雅,自以为是个绅士,你要给就给,不给,就算了吧。如果你是这样的心态,那你不可能得着医治。对于我来说,我相信我的神,我信靠我的神,信靠神的必不蒙羞愧,我所求的神必应允!神要的就是这样的人。

更何况我所求的是什么呢?我所求的,是希望更多的人得医治,得祝福。去根不去根,对我来说是个很小的事,就算重复一千遍,反复了一万遍,又有什么关系呢?没有关系,我不会放弃。在我的服侍当中,虽然有的时候我有点小狠,但是我从来没有放弃过任何一个人,那是我在神面前的责任,在神面前一个信心的宣告。 这医治释放有关的迷思多啊,一不去根了,几下就放弃了,鬼就在伏在你门前,牠随时来骚扰你,什么时候说过鬼被赶出去了,就不再来攻击你了?鬼赶走了还会再回来的,鬼攻击所有的人,连耶稣都被鬼攻击,不要说你了。 魔鬼的本职工作就是帮助神清理垃圾。 我们要知道一件事,鬼随时都会来攻击人,当然,如果神不许可,鬼什么也做不了,弟兄姐妹要知道,鬼是服侍神的。给大家做个比喻,在新加坡,人如果不大喜欢自己清扫,都是请外国劳工来做清扫的工作。我们要知道在教会里有很多的垃圾需要清理,魔鬼就干这活。有一次我赶鬼的时候,鬼跟我讲得话可有意思了,牠说牠负责下水道,管马桶,原来鬼是管污秽的,所有的垃圾、污秽都归污鬼管,如果是垃圾、污秽,那就会被污鬼掳去。

教会之所以能够变得洁净、圣洁,是因为神有两种仆役,有魔鬼做仆役,还有天使作仆役。天使是神的仆役,堕落的天使就是鬼,鬼也是神的仆役。所以在教会里面,就有垃圾被鬼清理掉。后来我发现,每一次教会攀登新高度的时候,很多人身上的鬼就彰显,有的人得了释放,有的人就被鬼骗走了,被鬼骗走的就继续被鬼整,鬼也知道他是垃圾,神也知道他是垃圾。 有一次,我给一个姐妹释放的时候,她身上的鬼就开始说话:谁谁谁是我把她骗走的。牠不仅全知道,还挨个讲出来了,我觉得很有意思,鬼帮助教会清理垃圾。当然我说这话,有人要挑毛病是挑得出来的,因为《圣经》里头光讲天使是神的仆役,后面这段是我发挥的,你不认同没关系,就当我瞎说。 这个去根还是不去根的事儿,我们回到一个关键点,什么叫去根呢?去根就是鬼不能再骚扰你,但哪有这回事呢?魔鬼也经常试验耶稣,更何况我们这些罪人呢。有一天我生病,病得还不轻,周围的弟兄姐妹就服侍我,有一个弟兄就问我:你这是咋回事?这只能证明我是个罪人而已。我的确也是个罪人,保罗到死的时候还说自己是罪人中的罪魁,我们千万不要自以为是,以为自己不会生病,哪有这回事。

我们以为魔鬼不会来搅扰我们,其实魔鬼常常的搅扰我们,何况我们身上的毛病这么多。宋尚节是个非常有名的传道人,但是他身上有很多的疾病,这顽固的疾病让他付上很沉重的代价,神透过他的手彰显了很多的神迹奇事,很多人因他的祷告得医治,为什么他自己还是生病呢,只不过证明我和他都是罪人而已。只要我们还是个罪人,怎么可能不受搅扰、不生病呢?保罗身上有眼睛的疾病,但神透过保罗的手医治了多少人,不要以为保罗有病就不洁净,这两件事一点关系也没有。 有一天我生病难受,结果那天还需要服侍,很多人都因着我的服侍得了医治。到了晚上八点钟,我坐在我的椅子上,一位弟兄和一位姐妹来服侍我,十点钟就完全康复了。所以我们里面的迷思是啥呢?以为保罗生个病,就否定了医治释放,哪有这回事。 保罗生个病很正常,但是保罗医病赶鬼,也是奉耶稣基督的名,因为我们不过是彰显神荣耀的器皿。我们身上有软弱非常正常,就算我们有软弱,一样可以被神使用,因为我们的软弱会彰显出神的刚强。不要因为我们的软弱,你们就跌倒,那一点也不划算。我们本来就很软弱,哪有一辈子不生病的人?更何况魔鬼来攻击一把,那真挺要命的。在属灵的战场上挂个彩、受个伤,那都很正常的,哪有完全不受伤的?但就算受伤我也不退缩。 从这种困惑当中走出来,保罗生病跟人得医治,一点关系也没有。还有一次论述保罗吩咐加拉太喝点酒,喝点酒跟服侍加拉太一点关系也没有。我自己医治释放的时候,也会让他们按按这个,那个穴位的。我就发现很多人读《圣经》连小学的水平都没有,小学生读课文都有抓住一些主题。这两件事有关系吗?一丁点的关系都没有。

所以我想吃药不吃药,这也是个迷思,有的人觉得不吃药得医治才是真正得医治,药这个东西,想吃就吃,不想吃就不吃。保罗说,吃就凭着信心吃,不吃就凭着信心不吃。你听过保罗的教导就是让人不吃药吗?让人不看医生,不要吃药,我从来没有这么教导过。我不会给人建议看医生或不看医生,我只有一个建议,靠着耶稣基督胜过自己的软弱,做一个得胜的精兵,在属灵的世界里成就耶稣基督的荣耀。 关于吃药这事儿,愿意吃就吃,不想吃就不吃,什么影响也没有。有的时候我还用针灸。早期年间,听一个洋人说针灸是邪术,可是我从小学三年级就开始学针灸,自己往自己身上扎,对针灸这点东西还有点小认识,学术不精,水平一般。我想这个事呐,不要受这些限制、什么吃药不吃药,和这些一丁点的关系都没有。 我想大家在做医治释放的时候,也不要设立限制。患者的水平是这个水平,患者的信心不在那个层次上,没有关系,只要他渴望得医治,这个渴望就是信心的表现。我说你相信得医治释放吗?虽然他满脸疑惑,但我就是斩钉截铁告诉他:我带你祷告就会得医治,我的神一定会医治你!之后讲一些见证,建造起信心,再带他祷告。

我们的神给我们开了一个恩典的大门,很多人觉得只有身上的毛病改掉了,才能够完全得医治。其实不是这么回事儿,是病得医治之后,才能够改掉身上的毛病。所以不要以为《圣经》里没讲,《圣经》里讲的非常清楚。这些人走遍各城各乡,啥毛病也没改,身上一大堆恶习,一大堆的毛病,耶稣也把恩典白白的赐给他们。难道我们的神不是白白赐恩典的神吗? 所以千万不要带着各种各样的迷思。比如说身上的毛病还没有改,就不能得医治,这不是我教导的。但是在医治释放的过程当中,我会鼓励他回去以后好好对付身上的恶习,否则这些毛病还是会来困扰你。人所有疾病的根源都是因为不谨守遵行神的话,所以医治释放完了之后,一定要教导神的话,让他去谨守遵行。

还有很多这样的迷思,有的人一上来就问人家:你信不信耶稣?不信那就算了吧。这些话很怪,其实那个人不是不信,他是很渴望耶稣医治他。问人信不信,好像是要让人入教,必须得入一个教才能得着似的,这多吓人啊!其实完全不用这样,只要那个人渴望,就带他祷告,让他经历医治。 至于得医治之后,他要不要继续跟随,这是他的选择,他愿意干什么就干什么,千万不要道德绑架人。耶稣从来没有强迫人跟随他,千万不要认为你带人得了医治,别人就是欠了你一个人情,不用这样觉得。因为耶稣基督是至宝,愿意紧紧抓住这个宝贝的,就跟着我们一起向前奔跑,不愿意跟随的也很正常。

还有很多的困扰,比如有一个姐妹的颈椎松开了,舒服了,然后过了很久,参加公司年检之后,拍完片子,显示颈椎不好,但为什么之前颈椎就好了呢?我们要知道片子说明不了什么问题,你自己的感觉才能说明问题。比如头疼,你能拍出来什么片子呢?身体发痒,片子也拍不出啥来,啥也没有。所以我们一定要知道片子是片子,得医治是得医治。为什么片子看起来不好,人的感觉却是好的?因为神的灵在那里撑着你的身体。 有的人腿瘸了,祷告好了后,他要去医院拍个片子看看有没有好,这长的什么脑子?走路都正常了,你非要拍个片子干啥去?然后医生说,你的腿好了。我能走路了,去拍个片子就是为让医生告诉我,好让我得着从医生来的确据,这个太奇怪了,你能走路了,还需要从别人那里得着确据吗?医生没有你的感觉准确。有些人眼睛瞎了,祷告之后能看见东西了,然后还非要去医院做个检查,需要医生告诉你,你能看见了。一个正常人不需要这么做。 今天这个世代,有很多令人困扰的事,小孩子学习不好就去看医生,然后被诊断为学习障碍,这诊断老师最喜欢了,因为学习障碍的孩子可以不算在老师的业绩里面,老师的业绩就跟学习障碍的孩子没有关系了。所以如果他班上都是学习障碍的话,那老师的评分就老简单了,跟老师教的不好就没关系了。 所以这事就很诡异,难道不是吗?其实很多孩子都是很正常的,只是遇到一些困难克服不了,难受而已。谁克服不了困难不难受啊?如果有了一些困扰,你就开始吃抗忧郁症的药,吃着吃着就真变成忧郁症了。但是也有些是真的忧郁症才吃药的,所以到医院检查是一个迷思,只要相信你自己的感觉就好。

有一次我妈妈腰椎疼的很严重,手指头一摸一个坑,有一块儿骨头节儿都坏了,但是找我祷告完就好了,每天走路都特别正常。结果有一天她参加了一个免费检查,医生拍了个片子,医生说,根据我妈妈的片子上显示,她应该是要瘫痪在床啊,怎么还能好好走路呢?她回到家后,腰就很疼,就躺在床上了。原因就是她里面充满了很多困惑,腰和颈椎都是瘫痪的,怎么我还能走路呢?之后我就带她祷告,她的腰就又好了。 人活着不是靠肉体,乃是靠着圣灵!当神的灵运行在人身上,就算是瞎眼的也能看见,就算是坏的腰椎也能够走路。我鼓励大家,没事儿别去医院随便检查,这是一个迷思,我认识的一个学生的妈妈可有意思了,到处去医院检查,她里面就是相信自己得癌症了。跑了很多家医院,医生说不是癌症,她就换一家医院继续诊断,最后到了一个医院,医生终于说她得了癌症,医生都觉得很郁闷。这是在干啥?当然这是讲了个笑话。

我们祷告的时候,会有一些反应,这些身体的反应会成为一个迷思,有反应和没有反应都是很正常的。那我逐渐的发现:很多身体的反应很奇怪,比如打嗝、抖动、各种症状、我们就把注意力放在这些上,哎~我怎么还不打嗝?我怎么还没过电?这些《圣经》里没有记载,为什么保罗医治了这么多的人,但是写《圣经》的时候却没有写这些呢?因为保罗不让人追求这些东西,使你得自由的是真理,而不是这些外在的反应。 人特别容易追求身体的反应这些东西,其实有没有打嗝不重要,病得医治才是关键。《圣经》里有鬼把人重重地摔在地上这样的记载,但不是所有的人都会有这种症状,所以弟兄姐妹都不要去追求这些,这些绝对不是真理。 比如说,摩西在旷野举起一根铜蛇,后来人一仰望铜蛇,病就得医治了,其实当时那个铜蛇之所以好使,是因为神命令摩西做了这个铜蛇,然后人仰望铜蛇病得医治,后来人们就开始迷信那条铜蛇,这是一个很困惑的事情。后来希西家就把铜蛇捣碎了,人就弃绝拜偶像。人很容易为自己树立偶像,人很容易在医治释放的时候追求那些外在的反应,其实这些都不是真理,所以我们要除去这些迷思。 要讲的迷思还有很多,比如说在传统教导里说要分辨方言,其实《圣经》里没有教导方言是从邪灵来的还是从圣灵来的,但是有些状况确实很诡异,比如说有些人,一带他祷告圣灵充满的时候他就开始嗷嗷叫,其实那不是方言,那是鬼哭狼嚎,鬼出去之前会叫唤,这有问题吗?

有些人就认为求圣灵充满邪灵会来,其实邪灵本来就住在人的身体里头,圣灵一充满,鬼就发出一些声音,再继续祷告把鬼赶出去,人就可以正常地方言祷告,那是圣灵的工作,其实鬼很想隐藏在人的身体里,但是神的灵一运行,邪灵就藏不住了,很多人就害怕,不知道神仍然掌权。 其实神掌权这话真的很深刻,有句话说:难道神不能掌权吗?难道神不能够掌管这事吗?任何人,只要他释放的是惧怕,都不要接受,要接受的是信心,知道我们的神用他全能的双手拖住宇宙万有,难道神不能够掌管你的生命吗?难道鬼说个方言你就怕了?难道鬼说个方言,就不能解决你的问题了?包括还有一些迷思,说祷告的时候不能够按手,一按手鬼就跑到你身上来了,结果这话就释放了很多的困惑和惧怕。 当时我所在教会的牧师,就是这么教的,那时候我的小组长不想跟牧师唱对台戏,但小组里有人有疑惑就问,《圣经》里根本没有这句话,那你挤公共汽车,那么多人挨着你,那要传递多少鬼呢? 还有很多迷思,比如说,为人家祷告完了要做洁净祷告啊,听过吗?哎呀~忘记做洁净祷告了!其实《圣经》里根本没有这样的教导,因为这些教导都是在释放惧怕。有的人,因为给人祷告完忘记做洁净祷告,就说:完了,完了,忘记做洁净祷告了。 其实《圣经》里哪有讲这个?为什么会弄这些奇怪的东西出来释放惧怕呢?我只传递信心,不传递惧怕。我想我们都要敬畏神,学会谨守遵行神的话,不谨守遵行神的话就受咒诅,无论如何我们都要回到神的话里。

有些人在服侍的时候,什么都不做,就跪在地上,双手合十,那虔诚的样子都让我感动,结果怎么样呢?什么用也没有,因为他什么也不做。你会发现我带人祷告的时候,我喜欢让人动起来,比如你胳膊抬起来试试,活动下胳膊,弯下腰等等。为什么这样?因为我在建造人的信心,那有的人,他为人做医治释放的时候,就一直在方言祷告,一个小时过去了,病还是一样,这不是做医治释放的办法。 我们必须用悟性祷告,也要用灵里祷告,我们要悟性教导,也要灵性教导,我们所说的这话,不是叫做平衡,什么信仰和生活平衡,教会和家庭平衡,不要追求平衡,要追求单单信靠神。单单信靠神比较容易,比如说,我在给人做医治释放的时候,怎么祷告也不好使,我就祷告寻求神,怎么办好啊,神就给我启示说按他的足三里。 结果我点他的足三里,一祷告就好了。还有一个姐妹,洗澡摔倒了,腿就不行了,我看着她那辛苦劲儿,我就抓住她腿摔伤的地方,带着她祷告,她当时疼的嗷嗷叫,我命令疼痛松开,十几秒的时间,腿就完全松开了,我当时觉得我们的神真的挺好! 在我的服侍里,没有所谓的方法,也没有所谓的定式,只有灵活。就是灵,圣灵的灵,这是打鬼最好的办法,我们千万不要什么也不做,就跪在地上,好像很虔诚的样子,我从来没有看见耶稣这么赶鬼。

有的人可能会说:耶稣就是跪在石头上祷告的,他祷告的时候也汗如血滴。那不叫赶鬼,那是在祷告。如果你愿意也可以,但关键不在乎这些,关键是在乎我们是否谨守遵行神的话,我们能否照着神的话,担起这个世代的使命。 凡是来到耶稣面前的都得医治。有的人说就交托给神吧,那就是你的遮羞布,那叫交托吗?像我的服侍叫交托,你那是被动。面对顽固问题的释放,持守你的信心去对付,永远不放弃,除非那个人拒绝你,这才是信心。 我讲了这么多的迷思,总意就是让你对神有信心,不要再继续活在迷思里头,而是要在真理里面活着,迷思不能够解决问题,但是真理却能够释放人得自由,愿神祝福大家!
