【Course】The First Global Online Seminar (3) - The Revelation of the Overcoming Church Lecture 1 - The Overcoming Church is the Foundation of Healing and Deliverance

The Revelation of the Overcoming Church Comes from Yearning and Seeking

Over the past four weeks, we conducted a healing and deliverance seminar, covering extensive fundamental theories on healing and deliverance. Regarding the revelation of the overcoming church, many believe this revelation comes inexplicably and uncontrollably. However, the Bible says, Seek and you shall find, and seeking begins with desire.

When I first believed in the Lord, I noticed many churches were different from what the Bible described. For example, today's healing and deliverance practices are entirely different from those written in the Bible. We see in the Bible that when handkerchiefs touched by Paul were placed on people, they were healed. Moreover, the Bible clearly states that all who came to the church seeking the Lord Jesus were healed.

However, the church we see today is different from what is written in the Bible; it lacks the power of healing and deliverance. They refer people to doctors, causing them to continue suffering under medical care. Their explanation is that the church today does not have the power of healing and deliverance. So, I had a great question in my mind: Why does the church today lack the power of healing and deliverance? I believe we are not doing it right.

My most frequent saying is: If I build a plane and it doesn't fly, it's because I don't know how to build a plane; I didn't build it right. If the church I build is different from the church described in the Bible, then I have structured it wrongly.

Many people divide Christianity into different denominations, such as Evangelicals, Charismatics, etc. Some feel proud to be Evangelical because they believe the Bible is the Word of God and believe the Bible is truth. We also believe the Bible is the Word of God and the truth of God. But believing is one thing; can we implement the Word of God?

Many churches today practice differently from the Bible. They say: I am not Jesus, nor am I Paul, so I cannot do what Jesus and Paul did. They think this is normal. However, what I read in the Bible is that the church we build must be the same as what is described in the Bible; that is the right way. Moreover, the Bible says that the glory of the latter house will be greater than the former, and this word will surely be fulfilled. This means the later church must surpass the earlier church.

Do we have such awareness in our hearts? After you believe in Jesus, you will find that the current state of the church is terrible, completely different from what is described in the Bible. Therefore, we really need to seek.

Those who seek will surely find. All our brothers and sisters should develop a good habit. When you encounter a problem, you must seek. If your reaction is to just let it be, then you are not a seeker. God will not reveal much to those who do not seek. But if we ardently seek God, we will surely receive revelation from God.

Our brothers and sisters, have you ever sought what the church should really be like? If we seek, we will surely receive an answer. In Genesis chapter 12, we can read that God spoke to Abram. Why did God speak to Abram? Because the person God responds to is definitely a person who prays and seeks.

Why do I know Abram was a seeker? Because his descendants, especially his grandson Jacob, were seekers. We can boldly assume that Abraham was a seeker; this is not an exaggeration. Those who seek will surely find! As a result, God said to Abraham, You will be a blessing to all nations on earth; I will make your name great, and your descendants will become a great nation; those who bless you will be blessed, and those who curse you will be cursed.

Why did Abraham seek? Because he wanted to know the meaning of life. You ask me how I know? Because Genesis chapter 11 talks about how people live and then die; what is the meaning of that? People spend their lives searching for the meaning of life. If people do not know God, they live and then die, which is meaningless. Today, we look at people from 500 years ago; they lived and then died. As time continues to pass, after 500 years, we will be those dead people from 500 years ago in the eyes of future generations.

Seeking is More Important Than Gifts

It is easy for people to die, but it is difficult to answer why people die. Abraham was seeking the meaning of life. People can only receive if they seek.

We often read the Bible and think that many things are related to gifts. Many people believe that the Holy Spirit distributes gifts to everyone as He wills. But do we know what as He wills means? As He wills means that God sees whether people seek Him, whether they are eager to receive gifts and desire to receive their destiny.

In the Bible, Jesus did not discuss the issue of gifts. In Jesus' eyes, this was a secondary matter. But Jesus said that those who seek will find, and to those who knock, the door will be opened. So, know that if we have a destiny, we will want to serve. To serve, we need gifts for service, so you seek, and you will receive.

What is more important than gifts is what we can do. We seek, seeking what we can do. We ask God: God! What can I do? Here I am, send me! The revelation of building an overcoming church comes from seeking. I never believe that passively receiving can lead to revelation.

Although it may have happened to some people, what I am saying is very operational. As long as you seek, you will surely receive. The question is whether what you are seeking is God's will. For example, building a church is God's most important will in the New Testament Bible, and this matter is very important.

The revelation of building an overcoming church comes from the Book of Revelation. If we open the Book of Revelation, we will find that in that generation, from the beginning of the letters written to the seven churches, all are about how the overcomers will be. In fact, the Bible repeats the word overcome many times. It is best to underline all of them. Repeated words are very important. Important things are repeated three times, so wouldn't repeating them seven times be even more important?

The Book of Revelation constantly repeats, He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes... These repeated words tell us about the revelation of building an overcoming church.

Brothers and sisters, let's think together about the topic: The Overcoming Church is the Foundation of Healing and Deliverance. In the coming weeks, we will focus on the revelation of building an overcoming church, including how to build an overcoming church.

With an Overcoming Church, Prayer is Effective

Over the past two weeks, I focused on the healing and deliverance seminar for everyone. I left two voice messages in the group, and until today, I am still receiving feedback. This feedback says that they prayed along with my voice messages, and many years of illnesses and other problems were healed.

Now, I want to ask you a question: Why can these voice messages heal people? Because we are an overcoming church. An overcoming church will definitely bring about the effect of healing and deliverance, because the overcoming church is the foundation of healing and deliverance.

I wrote a book called Doing Healing and Deliverance Like Jesus. Why did I choose this name? Because Jesus Christ is the founder of healing and deliverance, and Jesus Christ is very powerful.

Imitating Jesus Christ in doing healing and deliverance is easy to think about, but very difficult to do. When I first started building the church, many prayers were ineffective. Although I didn't have the answer at the time, I had faith in my heart. So I kept seeking the answer. It turns out that the overcoming church is the foundation of healing and deliverance.

This is not difficult to understand. If the Allied forces led by the United States defeated Japan in World War II, then China, the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom are all victorious nations. Even the smallest soldier in the victorious nation is a soldier of the victorious nation; he is also an overcoming soldier.

During the September 18th Incident, Japan launched a large-scale attack on China and occupied a large area of Chinese territory. In the occupied areas, even if you are the highest-ranking general in the Chinese army, you are still a defeated general in that place. Therefore, from this example, we should clearly know that an overcoming church is the key to spiritual warfare.

We are an overcoming church. Although the lives of each brother and sister are still in various stages of growth, because you are in an overcoming church, your healing and deliverance are very effective. Because as long as you are in this overcoming army, you represent this army, and you can release the power of God. This is a very important concept.

When doing healing and deliverance, we often have many confusions. The Bible records that all who came to Jesus were healed. In the Book of Acts, those who came to the church seeking healing were also healed. We can clearly say that in that generation, Jesus was victorious, and the church was victorious. Therefore, we must begin to know that the overcoming church is the foundation of healing and deliverance. This is related to the definition of the church.

Be Clear About the Definition of the Church

When I study, I like to clarify various concepts first. When building the church, I had a clear concept of pastoring. At that time, I was being pastored in the local church, but I didn't feel like I was being pastored. The pastor came to my house with a basket of fruit, chatting about this and that, without solving any problems, just building a relationship based on the flesh. Although the basket of fruit was delicious, it didn't solve the problem; this is not pastoring.

So what is pastoring? What should the church be like? What should the church do? What is faith? I clarified these concepts one by one. I went to a bookstore to promote my book and happened to meet a pastor from the church I used to be in. I had given him my book, but he didn't read it carefully.

After I met him, I briefly shared a few important basic concepts with him. First, I shared that the church must be overcoming, and the overcoming church is the foundation of healing and deliverance. In his church, many brothers and sisters had problems, and he was very confident. He had an out-of-body experience, his spirit was lifted into the air, and he saw his own body, but his healing and deliverance often had little effect. Why? Because the church was not overcoming.

I spoke to him quite directly. He said to me, Only you can do it. I don't care what people say, but I know my God can definitely do it. What the Bible says is the most important. So I led him to read Matthew 16:18-19. Jesus said:

I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you release on earth will be released in heaven. (Matthew 16:18-19)

This is something we must know; the definition of the church is originally like this. Have we built according to the church defined by Jesus? Notre Dame Cathedral is very magnificent, and people think Notre Dame Cathedral is a great church. A large statue of Jesus stands on a mountain behind the São Paulo Cathedral in Brazil, and people think São Paulo, Brazil, is a great church. I didn’t read about these in the Bible. What I read is to build the church on the rock. However, many concepts people have today are confused.

The church is built on the rock of Jesus Christ. Only the temple built according to the word of God has the glorious presence of God. Later, I said, God, I thank you; I want to build an overcoming church! Time continues to move forward. Although many tears and much sweat were shed, and much effort was put in, what was exchanged was the church full of God's glory today.

Among us, even the smallest brother and sister will see results in healing and deliverance because he is in an overcoming church. Our brothers and sisters should develop a habit, which is to have a clear understanding of the word of God. Healing and deliverance is not a matter of gifts; healing and deliverance is the basic work of the church.

Restore the Power of the Gospel, Be Overcoming Christians

Today, people say things that sound better than what was said in the days of Jesus, but if you compare the power of the church, it is far worse than in the days of Jesus and Paul. When I read 1 Corinthians 2:4, Paul said:

My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power. (1 Corinthians 2:4)

I was very shocked after reading this sentence. I often remind myself not to speak with wise and persuasive words, but only to speak of the power of God, so that our faith is not built on wise and persuasive words, but on the power of God.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes… the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”

Therefore, our brothers and sisters should know from the words of the Bible that the gospel of Jesus Christ is a powerful gospel. Whether it is Corinthians, Romans, Ephesians, or Colossians, they all talk about this being a powerful gospel.

If it is a powerless gospel, then no problem can be solved; it is just a wise and persuasive word. Today, we must come out of wise and persuasive words and enter into the powerful gospel. I believe everyone will surely receive much grace.

The Chinese Mingding Destiny that I founded has two very important words: overcoming. Salvation and overcoming mean the same thing. Only those who overcome can be saved, and only those who are saved can overcome. Some people agree with this, and some disagree, but it doesn't matter. Paul said: Continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, which means salvation is not as casual as we imagine.

Personal and church overcoming are both very important concepts. Brothers and sisters should think in the Bible, Matthew 16:18-19. You must deeply imprint this sentence in your mind. If you imprint this sentence in your mind, and measure it, you will find that there is big trouble in not being an overcomer.

I met a pastor from the church I used to be in. He had a good relationship with me. After hearing what I said, he asked me, According to what you said, wouldn't many churches be in big trouble? I said, You must want to say to me, only you are doing it right? I am not doing it right either, but the Bible must be doing it right.

You and I read the same Bible, so how can we read different things? If you look carefully, the letters written to the seven churches in Revelation clearly state how the overcomers will be. Gradually, I realized that people cannot receive promises if they do not overcome. Why can't many people receive healing? It is because they do not overcome.

The Bible clearly records one thing in Genesis, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Exodus: You cannot enter the promised land if you do not overcome. I was also puzzled, and I said, God, it would be great if you gave this land to Abraham and let the Israelites stroll in. Why do you make them take knives and guns and train and struggle in the wilderness, and then kill many people? It's so bloody! But God's will is that you cannot enter the promised land if you do not overcome. Abraham overcame time and time again in the tests. After overcoming, God said to him, I will bless you.

Deuteronomy says:

If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, these blessings will overtake you and be yours… However, if you do not obey the Lord your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come on you and overtake you until you are destroyed.

Reading the word of God and acting it out is the key. What we are doing is building the body of Jesus Christ, and the glorious church is the body of Jesus Christ. So if you want to receive your destiny, then build God's glorious church.

Many things that Christians do are commendable, especially in Singapore's churches, which highly value family. This sounds completely harmless, but if building a family takes precedence over building a church, then there is trouble. The Old Testament books of Haggai and Malachi write that individuals were only busy building their own houses, while God's house was desolate. As a result, curses came upon the Israelites at that time.

Jesus said to forsake parents, brothers, wives, children, fields, and houses for the sake of the kingdom of God. Many Christians often find it difficult to accept such words in the Bible. They believe in the Lord, but they do not believe what Jesus said. But you need to know that Jesus' words are very important, because everyone who forsakes for Jesus will receive a hundredfold in this life and eternal life in the age to come. So what can you forsake for Jesus?

Brothers and sisters, we must rethink the word of God. Can we do what God says? Among the many challenges and problems before you, you can only pick two or three to solve. If what you do are unimportant things, can the problem be solved? No.

We must all have the same determination to build God's glorious church. When the Spirit of God descends among us, people will suffer less sin. Taking the time you spend lying in bed to build God's glorious church is definitely worthwhile. I believe our God is full of power and grace. Many people cannot calculate this account clearly.

Seeing those people lying helplessly in bed, I secretly said to God in my heart: I will take all this time to serve you, but God, please have mercy on me and keep my eyes from becoming dim and my hands and feet from becoming weak while I am alive, so that I may continue to serve you in my living days, until the last day I leave this world.

Brothers and sisters, do we have such determination in our hearts? If you have such determination and receive this revelation of building an overcoming church, your healing and deliverance abilities will be like those in the church in the Book of Acts, releasing the power of God.

Our gospel must be restored to a powerful gospel in this generation. This is our destiny and dream, and it is also our deep desire. We want to be a blessing to this generation. Our God is definitely not a stingy God. Can we really offer everything we have to Jesus? Some people say, Who can do it? But this is a worthwhile thing, how is it possible not to do it? It's just that people don't believe it.

If you don't believe, then how can you receive God's grace? We must be overcoming Christians, build an overcoming church, and walk the path of receiving promises.

The Victorious Church as the Foundation for Healing and Deliverance

The victorious church is the foundation for healing and deliverance, stemming from Matthew 16:18-19. I will guide everyone to consider another layer of this issue. In the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul, healing and deliverance were never discussed in isolation. Does this strike you as odd? I posed this question to God: Lord, why didn't Paul write a manual on healing and deliverance? If he had, we could simply follow it today!

Many of the healing and deliverance practices today are quite interesting. They often require those seeking healing to fill out extensive forms. After completing these forms, it's uncertain whether healing will occur, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. However, in the Bible, those who sought Jesus for healing and deliverance were never required to fill out forms. Even Paul, a highly educated man, did not require such forms when ministering healing and deliverance. Why is this so? The answer lies in God's revelation.

I knelt in prayer, seeking God's guidance on this matter, as I was eager to write a manual on healing and deliverance. However, I was unsure if it aligned with God's will. The process of writing such a manual was arduous, as I encountered numerous resources that did not align with the Bible. This was truly perplexing. I considered abandoning the project. However, through persistent prayer, God gave me a word, the word is Matthew 16:18-19:

And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

These words are profound. I thought, Lord, how could I have missed this in all my years of reading the Bible? The victorious church is the foundation for healing and deliverance. The foundation of healing and deliverance is the victorious church. Understanding this brought great joy. I then wrote a book, Doing Healing and Deliverance Like Jesus, with the first chapter focusing on imitating Jesus—doing as He did. The second chapter discussed the victorious church as the foundation, followed by truths about faith and gifts.

I am someone who grasps concepts readily, which has helped me excel in my studies. I always strive to clarify concepts thoroughly. I believe this is valuable for everyone to learn. If we clearly understand the concepts of the church, healing and deliverance, shepherding, and faith, we will receive abundant grace.

In recent days, my mother has been frequently tormented by evil spirits. Due to her advanced age, her thinking is extremely rigid. Just the day before yesterday, she said she was walking on the road to the afterlife, where there was a ditch. She was about to cup her hands to drink the water from the ditch when a voice from heaven told her not to drink it. She said it was my voice. The sisters ministering to her noticed her condition and called her back. This has happened several times in a row.

This suggests that the road to the afterlife, the soup of oblivion, and the ox-headed and horse-faced guardians are somewhat real. The soup of oblivion, like a love-forgetting potion, causes one to forget everything. When my mother told me this, I was deeply shocked by the reality of the spiritual realm. I then thanked God for giving me the revelation to build a victorious church, allowing me the opportunity to build one while still alive. First, I blessed my family, and they became the object of my salvation. I became my family's salvation.

The victorious church is critical and can trample the power of darkness. This gives us an important revelation, that we should no longer pursue gifts but seek to build a victorious and glorious church, seeking to obtain our destiny. This destiny is why we live and why we die. If we live to build the body of Jesus Christ and die to build the body of Jesus Christ, we will live a magnificent life.

I firmly believe that what the Apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians chapter one will be fulfilled in us. The theological concepts that our Chinese Mingding Destiny proclaims will be accomplished in this generation. We will see God's glory manifested throughout the earth.

The Lord Jesus is a Stone of Stumbling

The church must be built on a rock, and this rock is interesting. Jesus Christ is a stone of stumbling. One of my sermons, The Stone of Stumbling, was widely shared. Why? Because Jesus Christ is a stone of stumbling. Building the church on this rock will bring God's glory, but stumbling on this rock will cause one to be crushed.

This rock is the word and the way of Jesus Christ. Therefore, it is written in Isaiah:

In the latter days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.

The temple of the God of Jacob refers to the glorious church. Why is it on this mountain? Because this mountain is a rock, built up by different levels of truth accumulating, as seen by Rick Joyner in The Final Quest.

Climbing this mountain is a process of understanding the truth of God in our minds. Therefore, the process of understanding spiritual truth is the key to building a victorious church. This rock is the mountain of the Lord. As we continually climb on God's word and truth, you will surely see God's power being manifested. This is why Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul did not write manuals on healing and deliverance. They only wrote about one thing: building a victorious and glorious church.

One must grasp the most important thing. When a victorious church does healing and deliverance, God's power will naturally be manifested. Brothers and sisters among us, do you want to become mighty warriors in God's kingdom? If so, you must have the mindset of building God's glorious church.

Building God's glorious church requires paying a price, but it is worth it. We build God's church according to what God says. In the past, during the four sessions of the Healing and Deliverance Seminar, many people opposed healing and deliverance in the name of God. Why did they oppose it? Because they believed they had the truth. But true truth must return to the Bible. The dark forces behind them oppose this gospel because it is a powerful gospel, and it is this powerful gospel that causes great damage to the devil. Therefore, the devil will surely come disguised as an angel of light to resist.

Brothers and sisters, you may not believe my words, but you must return to the Bible and carefully examine what I say, because this rock is God's truth. We must carefully observe and obey God's word and build God's church according to God's word so that we may have God's presence and God's glory. If we do not build the church according to God's word, the consequences will be severe beyond imagination.

I will tell everyone something: cancer is definitely not a blessing. If you think it is a blessing, then keep it to yourself. Cancer is not a blessing. However, today, the proportion of pastors who get cancer exceeds the average proportion, the reason is that this is a stone of stumbling. Those who read God's word but do not build the church according to God's word are under a curse, aren't they? Those who read God's word but do not preach the gospel according to God's word are also under a curse, aren't they?

Carefully Obeying God's Word

Some say that there are no curses in the New Testament, but Galatians says that if the gospel you receive is not the gospel preached by Paul, then whoever preaches it to you should be accursed. How much more so when it comes to building the church? Shouldn't we fear and tremble, working out our salvation?

Whether in the Old Testament or the New Testament, it all speaks of carefully obeying God's word. Carefully obeying is such a serious matter. How can building God's church be done according to one's own ideas? If you are decorating my house, you need to decorate it according to my ideas, not according to yours. Otherwise, I will ask, Why is it decorated like this? If you say: I think it should be decorated like this, I want to decorate it however I want. Then, will the owner give you money? It's good if they don't ask you for compensation.

Brothers and sisters, we need to be clear-headed. Building God's glorious church is our glorious destiny and a very serious matter. If we do not build according to God's word, is it building on the rock? No. When I first started building the church, I was cursed. At that time, I was surrounded by enemies. I thought I was Job. After re-recognizing God, I am now sailing smoothly. When I first started building the church, I didn't use Jesus Christ to attract people. I used roast chicken and roast duck to attract people. As a result, everyone who came was just a glutton and a good-for-nothing.

Even today, many people are still building the church in the way I did at the beginning. Why? Because I was skeptical at the time, wondering if Jesus would attract people to the church? But today we only talk about Jesus Christ crucified on the cross, through His precious blood we are redeemed, and through His wounds we are healed. What a glorious thing this is!

Later, I kept seeking how to build the church. When Moses built the tabernacle in the wilderness, he built it according to the pattern that God showed Moses in heaven and it was clearly written about the sea dog skin, tent pegs, and all kinds of materials. If a sea dog skin could not be found in the wilderness, would it be okay to replace it with a dog skin? No. Originally, a sea dog skin was required, but if there was no sea dog skin available so a dog skin was used and if there was no dog skin then a mouse skin was used, changing it here and there, this caused trouble. But many churches build churches like this today.

For example, with baptism, people originally went to the Jordan River to be baptized. Later, they said that the Jordan River was too far away, so they put a vat in their home. Because the vat was too much trouble, they used a basin. But the basin also was too much trouble, so they used a bowl, Later, the bowl was too much trouble, so they used a bottle to put in some water then used a small willow branch to sprinkile people with water. This is not the baptism that Jesus Christ preached.

Some people are sick and lying in bed, unable to get up, or someone is hanging on a cross next to Jesus then there is no way to baptize them and we can understand that. But what are you, a lively person, doing? Can't we imitate what is written in the Bible? Actually, using a basin or a vat is not important. The key is that the mentality is not healthy as you just want to save trouble and cut corners.

If you cut corners when building a dam, it will be a shoddily-built project. It is very dangerous when the water washes away the dam, and there may even be loss of lives. If we cut corners when building an airplane, would you dare to sit in it? If a few screws are not tightened, the glass will be gone in the air, and the pilot will be sucked out of it. Do you want to sit in such an airplane? None of us do. Therefore, when building God's church, we must be very careful in that we build the way God says.
In the Bible, Paul's letters are all about building God's glorious church, especially Ephesians, Colossians, Romans, 1 Corinthians, and 2 Corinthians as they are all about building God's glorious church.

Moses’ tabernacle was built strictly according to God’s revelation, without any cutting corners. As a result, God’s glory filled the tent. Later, David wanted to build God’s temple, so God revealed the appearance of the temple to David and drew it out with His finger. As a result, Solomon built the temple according to the revelation that God gave to David, including the Ark of the Covenant and all kinds of other things and all of this was built according to God's revelation. Finally, after Solomon built the temple, God's glory filled the temple. People could not stand on the road because God's glory was so full that everyone bowed down.

Today, when we build the church, we are building God’s temple. How can we be careless? Didn’t the Apostle Paul give his life completely to build God’s glorious church? If you have the desire to build God’s glorious church, then read the Bible carefully. After reading it, implement it well and do not take things out of context.

Victory in Spiritual Warfare Brings Promises

The church is God's army, fighting a spiritual battle. If the church is victorious in the spiritual battle of spiritual warfare, healing and deliverance will spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain. You will surely see the church's victory bringing about a great amount of healing and deliverance.

Victory in spiritual warfare is necessary to bring promises. In Exodus, on the very day that the four hundred and thirty years had passed, the Lord’s army came out of Egypt. In Numbers, it initially tells of only those who can fight are counted, and those who cannot fight are not counted, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua all talk about winning the fight in order to obtain the promised land.

Our brothers and sisters must know one thing: we must build a victorious church, which is God’s army. Everyone must know that driving out demons by and through the Spirit of God means that the kingdom of God has come. Isaiah 61:1 says:

...to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners...

This is the same as what Jesus said:

...whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

Healing and deliverance is the basic work of the church. The victorious church is the foundation of healing and deliverance. Our brothers and sisters should begin to know that this is the original intention of the gospel: to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners. There is nothing better than this. Our brothers and sisters, don’t doubt God’s word any longer, but simply choose to believe in God’s pure gospel.

We have already done this for everyone to see, so we dare to share it with everyone. An elderly sister asked me to pray for her. Yesterday, she gave a thousand dollars as an offering, and I said, Good, I will transfer it to the church on your behalf. This elderly sister had suffered from insomnia for twenty years. Her son is also a pastor. Her son prayed for her, and her anti-insomnia medication increased fourfold. When she came to me, I said that I could do healing and deliverance for you, but you have to receive one thing, which is the concept of building a victorious church. I also hope that your son is building a victorious church.

I said: Do you know why you will be healed when I pray for you, but your son will not heal you when he prays for you? Because this is closely related to the church’s victory or defeat. A few days ago, her son contacted me and said that his church’s battle had begun. I thought that it was a very bloody battle. Anyone who wants to build a victorious church must go through a bloody battle and I know how I came through it, and I also know that everyone who builds God’s victorious church will come through it that way too.

Later, the old woman told me that I accepted your church view. Because of my ministry to her, she was almost completely healed. Finally, I hope that she can return to her church and fight alongside her son to build God’s glorious church.

Build God’s Victorious Church With a Mindset of Paying the Price

In my mind, there is a deep desire because in this generation, even if there are a thousand, ten thousand, or one hundred thousand victorious churches, they will not be able to complete their ministry. I don’t want to say that only I can do this. No, I hope that all churches can release captive and oppressed souls.

The brothers and sisters who have been trained are all dedicated brothers and sisters who are committed to offering themselves. If you want to understand how to build a victorious church, then start to think about one thing on whether we are strictly building according to God’s Word? If you have a great desire to serve the old, weak, sick, and disabled in your church, then start with building a victorious church. Even to die to build a victorious church! This life will surely live out God’s wonderful plan for us.

I would rather have Jesus Christ’s three hundred elite soldiers than a crowd of rabble! Idle people bring corruption to the church. In the Bible, you would see many mixed multitude who came out of Egypt in Jehovah's army who died in the wilderness.
The church of Christ Jesus is a church of elite soldiers because Gideon’s three hundred elite soldiers are stronger than the thirty thousand. According to human logic, even if five thousand people ran back out of the thirty thousand, the three hundred people would be trampled to death by the five thousand but the three hundred who were Gideon's elite soldiers. They were mighty warriors of God, and three hundred people could defeat the opposing army.

Therefore, if we want to build God’s victorious church, we must build a high-standard church as and we must be a group of people who can offer themselves to God and pay the price even with our lives!

May God bless everyone!

前面四个礼拜,我们开了一个医治释放研讨会,讲了大量医治释放的基本理论。关于得胜教会的启示这个主题,很多人认为这启示是莫名其妙来的,是不可控的。但《圣经》说寻找就必寻见,寻找是从渴望开始的。 刚开始信主时,我发现很多教会跟《圣经》里说的不一样,比如现在的医治释放和《圣经》里写的医治释放完全不一样,我们看到《圣经》里的教会,保罗的手绢掉到人的身上,人就得医治,而且《圣经》里讲得很清楚,来到教会找主耶稣的都得了医治。 但是今天我们看到的教会,却跟《圣经》里所写的不一样,没有医治释放的能力。他们把人介绍给医生,让人在医生手里继续受很多的苦。他们给我的答案是现在的教会没有医治释放的能力。所以在我的里面有一个极大的问号,为什么现在的教会没有了医治释放的能力?我认为是我们现在没有整对。 我最常说的一句话是:如果我造了一架飞机它不会飞,那是因为我不会造飞机,我没造对。如果我建造的教会跟《圣经》里建造的教会不一样,那是我整错了。

很多人把基督教分成很多的派别,如福音派、灵恩派等等。有的人觉得自己信福音派很自豪,因为他们相信《圣经》是神的话,相信《圣经》是真理。我们也相信《圣经》是神的话,是神的真理。但相信归相信,我们能否把神的话落实出来? 今天的很多教会行出来的跟《圣经》里的不一样,他们说:我不是耶稣,也不是保罗,所以耶稣和保罗所做的我不能做,他们认为这个很正常。但我所读的《圣经》是,我们建造的教会必须跟《圣经》里说的一样,那才是对的。甚至《圣经》上说,后来的荣耀要大过先前的荣耀,这话也一定成就,这就是说后来的教会要超越先前的教会。 我们的里面是否有这样的意识呢?你信了耶稣以后,你会发现现在的教会状况很糟糕,跟《圣经》里所描述的完全不一样,所以我们真的需要寻求。 寻找的一定寻见,我们所有的弟兄姐妹都要养成一个好习惯,当你遇到一个问题,你一定要去寻求,如果你的反应是就这样喽,那你就不是一个寻求的人,对于不寻求的人,我们的神不会有太多的启示。但如果我们切慕的寻求神,就一定会从神那里得着启示。

我们的弟兄姐妹,你是否有寻求过教会到底应该是怎么样?如果我们寻求,我们就一定能够得着答案。我们在《创世记》第12章可以读到,神对亚伯兰说话,为什么神会跟亚伯兰说话?因为神所回应的人,一定是一个祷告寻求的人。 为什么我知道亚伯兰是一个寻求的人?因为他的后裔,尤其是他的孙子雅各,就是一个寻求的人,我们可以大胆的假设亚伯拉罕就是一个寻求的人,这一点都不过分,寻求的就一定会寻见!结果神对亚伯拉罕说,你要成为地上万国万民的祝福,我要使你的名为大,使你的后裔成为大国,凡祝福你的要都蒙祝福,凡咒诅你的都要受咒诅。 亚伯拉罕为什么寻求呢?因为他想知道活着的意义,你问我怎么知道的?因为《创世记》第11章就讲谁活着活着就死了,这有什么意义呢?人这一生就是在寻找活着的意义,人如果不认识神,活着活着就死了,那是毫无意义的。我们今天看500年前的人,他们活着活着就死了,那时间一直往下走,过了500年,我们就是后人眼里那500年前死了的人。

人死是很容易的,但是人为什么而死,这才是难回答的。亚伯拉罕就是在寻求活着的意义这件事,人只有寻求了才会得着。 我们常常读《圣经》,认为很多东西都跟恩赐有关,很多人认为圣灵是随己意分赐给众人的,但我们知道什么叫做随己意分赐给众人''吗?随己意''就是神看人有没有寻求祂,这个人是否是一个渴望得着恩赐,想要得着命定的人。 在《圣经》里耶稣没有论述过恩赐这件事,这件事在耶稣眼里是一个次要的事情,但是耶稣讲的是寻找的必寻见,扣门的必给你开门,所以要知道,如果我们有命定,就会想要去服侍,要服侍就需要服侍的恩赐,那么你就寻求,寻求就会得着。 比恩赐更重要的是我们能做些什么,那我们寻求,就是寻求我们能够做些什么,我们问神:神啊!我能够做些什么?我在这里,求你差派我!建立得胜教会的启示是从寻求来的,我从来不相信被动的领受就可以得着启示。 虽然可能在某些人身上发生过,但我所说的这个操作性是很强的,只要你寻求就一定会得着。问题就是你所寻求的那个东西到底是不是神的心意。比如说建造教会,这是神在新约《圣经》里最重要的心意,这件事情是非常重要的。 建造得胜教会的启示是从《启示录》来的,如果我们打开《启示录》,会发现在那个世代,从一开始写给七间教会的信,都是写得胜的如何,其实《圣经》里头重复讲得胜''的话语很多,大家最好都画下来,重复的话都是非常重要的,重要的事重复三遍,那重复七遍岂不是更重要吗? 《启示录》不断的重复,圣灵向众教会所说的话,有耳的就应当听,得胜的就如何,这些重复的话语,就是告诉我们的关于建立得胜教会的启示。 弟兄姐妹跟我一起来思考这个题目**得胜的教会是医治释放的根基**,接下来的几个礼拜,我们都会围绕着建立得胜教会的启示来讲,包括如何建立得胜的教会。

上两个礼拜,我集中的跟大家讲了医治释放研讨会,我在群里留了两句语音条,直到今天还在不断的接收一些反馈,这些反馈说,他们跟着我的语音条祷告,很多年的疾病和其它的一些问题都得着了医治。 那我想问你一个问题:这语音条为什么可以使人得着医治呢?因为我们是一间得胜的教会,得胜的教会一定会带来医治释放的果效,因为得胜的教会是医治释放的根基。 我写过一本书,这本书的名字叫做《像耶稣一样做医治释放》,为什么会起这个名字呢?因为耶稣基督就是医治释放的创始人,耶稣基督非常的厉害。 效法耶稣基督做医治释放,如果只是想想,那是很容易的,但是做起来却非常的困难,我刚开始建立教会的时候,很多情况下的祷告都没有果效,虽然当时我没有答案,但是我里面是有信心的,于是我就一直在寻找答案,原来得胜的教会才是医治释放的根基。

这不难理解,如果美国带领的盟军在第二次世界大战中战胜了日本,那么中国、美国、苏联、英国都是战胜国。在战胜国当中最小的一个士兵,他都是战胜国的士兵,他也是一个得胜的士兵。 九一八事变的时候,日本大举进攻中国,占领了中国大面积的土地,在被占领的地方,就算你是中国军队最大的将军,你在那个地方也是一个被打败的将军,所以从这个例子中,我们要清楚的知道,一间得胜的教会是属灵争战的关键。 我们是一个得胜的教会,虽然每个弟兄姐妹的生命还处在诸多的成长当中,但因为你在一个得胜的教会当中,你做医治释放就非常有果效,因为只要你在这个得胜的军队里面,你就代表着这支军队,你就可以释放神的能力,这是一个非常重要的观念。 在做医治释放的时候,我们常常有很多的困惑,《圣经》里头记载,来找耶稣的都得了医治,在《使徒行传》中,来到教会寻求医治的也都得了医治。我们可以清楚的说,那个世代耶稣是得胜的,教会是得胜的,所以我们必须开始知道,得胜的教会是医治释放的根基,这跟教会的定义有关。

我读书就喜欢先把各样的概念给理清楚,在建立教会的时候,我对牧养有一个清晰的概念,当时我在当地教会被牧养,但我不觉得那是在被牧养,当时牧师提了一篮水果来到我家,跟我东扯西扯的聊天,也不解决问题,只是建立一个属肉体的关系,虽然那篮水果很好吃,但是那不解决问题,这不叫牧养。 那什么叫做牧养?教会应该是个什么样子?教会应该做什么?信心是什么?我就把这些概念一个一个的理清楚。我去一个书店推销我的书,刚好遇见了以前我所在教会的一个传道人,我送过他我写的书,但是他没有好好读。 我见到他以后,稍微跟他分享了几个重要的基本概念,首先分享的就是教会要得胜,得胜的教会是医治释放的根基。在他的教会当中,很多的弟兄姐妹有问题,他也很有信心,曾经灵魂出窍,灵被提到空中,自己看到自己的身体,但是他的医治释放常常没有什么果效,为什么呢?因为教会不得胜。 我跟他讲的话比较直接,他对我说:就你行。我不在乎被人怎么说,但我知道我的神一定行。《圣经》是怎么说才是最重要的。所以我带他读了《马太福音》16章18-19节,耶稣说:

**我要把我的教会建造在这磐石上,阴间的权势不能胜过他。我要把天国的钥匙给你,凡你在地上所捆绑的,在天上也要捆绑,凡你在地上所释放的,在天上也要被释放。(《马太福音》16:18-19)** 这是我们必须知道的一件事,教会的定义原来是这样的。那我们有没有按照耶稣定义的教会来建造呢?巴黎圣母院修的很宏伟,人们就以为巴黎圣母院是伟大的教会。巴西圣保罗教堂后面的一座山上立了一个很大的耶稣像,人们就以为巴西圣保罗是一个伟大的教会。我在《圣经》里头没有读到这些,我读到的是要把教会建造在磐石上,然而今天人们的很多观念都是混乱的。 教会是建造在耶稣基督的磐石上,照着神的话建造的圣殿才有神荣耀的同在,后来我就说:神,我感谢你,我就是要建造一间得胜的教会!时日不断的往前推进,虽然流了很多的泪,也流了很多的汗,付出了很多的心血,但换来的是如今充满神荣耀的教会。 在我们当中,最小的一个弟兄姐妹在医治释放上都会看到果效,因为他在一个得胜的教会里。我们的弟兄姐妹要养成一个习惯,就是对神的话要有一个清楚的看见,医治释放不是恩赐的问题,医治释放是教会的基本工作。

现在的人嘴上说的比耶稣年间说的都好听,但是如果比教会的能力,那比耶稣、保罗年间差远了。我读到《哥林多前书》2章4节的时候,保罗说: **“我说的话,讲的道,不是用智慧委婉的言语,乃是靠着圣灵和大能的明证,叫你们的信不在乎人的智慧,只在乎神的大能,”(《哥林多前书》2:4)** 读了这句话我非常的震撼,我常常提醒我自己,不能够讲智慧委婉的言语,只能讲神的大能,让我们的信不是建立在智慧委婉的言语上,而是建立在神的大能上。

**我不以福音为耻,这福音本是神的大能,要救一切相信的,这十字架的道理乃是神的大能。** 所以我们弟兄姐妹要从《圣经》的话语里知道,耶稣基督的福音是大能的福音,无论是《哥林多前书》还是《罗马书》,《以弗所书》,《歌罗西书》,都讲到这是大能的福音。 如果是一个没有能力的福音,那什么问题也解决不了,只不过是一个智慧委婉的言语而已,今天我们要从智慧委婉的言语里走出来,要进入大能的福音里,相信大家一定会多多的得着恩典。

我创始的华人命定神学,它非常重要的两个字叫做得胜,得救和得胜是一个意思,**得胜的才能得救,得救的才能得胜**。这话有的人同意,有的人不同意,但没有关系。保罗说:就当恐惧战兢做成你们得救的工夫,也就是说得救不是像我们想象的那样随随便便。 个人和教会的得胜都是一个非常重要的观念,弟兄姐妹要在《圣经》里头思考,《马太福音》16章18-19节,你必须把这句话深深的印在你的脑海里,如果你把这句话印在你的脑海里,衡量后你会发现,不做一个得胜的人麻烦大了。 我遇见以前所在教会的传道人,他跟我的关系不错,听了我这么说,他就问我:照你这么说,那不是很多教会麻烦都大了吗?我说:你肯定是想对我说,就你整得对?我也整得不对,但是《圣经》一定整得对。 你和我读的是同一本《圣经》,怎么我们就会读出不同的东西来呢?你仔细去看,《启示录》里写给七间教会的信,里面讲得多清楚,全是得胜的如何。逐渐的我了解到,人如果不得胜就不能够得着应许。为什么很多人不能得着医治?就是因为他们不得胜。 在《圣经》的《创世记》、《民数记》、《申命记》、《出埃及记》里清清楚楚的记载着一件事,你不得胜就不能进应许之地,我也很纳闷,我说:神啊,你赐给亚伯拉罕的这块地,让以色列人溜溜达达的进去多好啊,你让他们拿刀拿枪又在旷野里训练、折腾,然后又要进去杀很多人,多血腥啊!但是神的心意就是不得胜就不能进应许之地,亚伯拉罕一次又一次的在考验当中得胜了,得胜后神对他说:我要祝福你。

到了《申命记》讲: **你若谨守遵行耶和华你神的律例,典章、诫命,这以下的福就要追随你,你若不谨守遵行神的话 ,以下的咒诅必临到你,直到你灭亡。** **我们读了神的话,行出来才是关键。**我们所行的是建造耶稣基督的身体,荣耀的教会就是耶稣基督的身体,所以如果你想要得着命定,那就建造神荣耀的教会。 很多基督徒做的事情可圈可点,尤其是在新加坡的教会里面,十分推崇要看重家庭,这听起来完全没有一点毛病,但是建造家庭若是凌驾于建造教会之上,那就麻烦了。在旧约圣经《哈该书》、《玛拉基书》写着个人只忙于建造自己的家,神的家却荒凉,于是咒诅就临到当时的以色列人。 耶稣说要为了神的国,撇下父母、弟兄、妻子、儿女、田地和房屋,很多基督徒常常很难接受《圣经》上这样的话。他们信主,但却不信耶稣讲的话,但是你要知道,耶稣这话非常重要,因为凡为耶稣撇下的,没有不在今生不得百倍,来世不得永生的,那么你能为耶稣撇下什么呢? 弟兄姐妹,我们要重新思考神的话,神怎么说是否我们就能怎么做呢?摆在你面前的众多挑战和问题,你最多可以挑两样或三样来解决,如果你做的都是些不重要的事儿,那么问题能解决吗?不能。 我们都要有一同建造神荣耀教会的心志,神的灵降在我们中间,人就会少遭些罪,把你躺在病床上的时间都拿来建造神荣耀的教会,绝对划算,我相信我们的神大有能力和恩典。很多人却算不清楚这笔账。 看到那些人在病床上无助的躺着,我就在心里暗暗的跟神说:这些时间我全部拿来侍奉你,但是神,愿你怜悯我,让我在活着的时候眼睛不昏花,手脚不软弱,让我在活着的日子,直到离开这个世界的最后一天,仍然在侍奉你。 弟兄姐妹,我们里面是否拥有这样的心志呢?如果你拥有这样的心志,得着这建造得胜教会的启示,你的医治释放能力就会像当初在《使徒行传》教会里的一样,把神的大能释放出来。 我们的福音要在这个世代恢复成大有能力的福音,这是我们的命定和梦想,这也是我们里面深深的渴望,我们要成为这个世代的祝福,我们的神绝对不是一个小气的神。我们能否真的为耶稣摆上自己所有的一切?有的人说谁能做得到呢?但这是划算的事情,怎么可能做不到呢?只是人们不信罢了。 如果你不相信,那你怎么可能得着神的恩典呢?我们要做一个得胜的基督徒,建立一个得胜的教会,走得着应许的这条路。

得胜的教会是医治释放的根基,是从《马太福音》16章18-19节来的,我带大家来思考另外一个层面上的问题,在耶稣基督、使徒保罗的教导里,没有单单的拿医治释放来探讨,你不觉得奇怪吗?这件事我就问神:神啊,保罗怎么不写一个医治释放的课件呢?他写一个医治释放的课件,咱们今天都照着做多好啊! 现在很多人做的医治释放很有意思,首先需要那些寻求医治的人填很多的表单,等填完了以后,也不知道能不能得医治,有的时候行,有的时候不行,可是在《圣经》里记载,那些找耶稣做医治释放的人,他们都没有填过表单,到了保罗年间,保罗是一个大学士,为人做医治释放也不用人家填表单,为什么呢?答案就在神的启示里。 我就跪下来祷告求问神这件事,因为我很想写一个医治释放的课件,不知道是否符合神的心意,我写医治释放的课件写的非常辛苦,查了诸多的资料,看到的都是不合乎《圣经》的内容,这真的是要命。我就琢磨这事可能会泡汤,后来我不断的祷告,神就给我一句话,这句话就是《马太福音》16章18-19节: **我要把我的教会建造在这磐石上;阴间的权柄不能胜过他。我要把天国的钥匙给你,凡你在地上所捆绑的,在天上也要捆绑;凡你在地上所释放的,在天上也要释放。**

这话讲得好,我说:神啊,我读了这么多年的《圣经》居然没有看见,原来得胜的教会是医治释放的根基,医治释放的根基就是得胜的教会。明白了这一点之后就非常的开心,于是我写了一本书《像耶稣一样做医治释放》,第一章就是讲效法耶稣,耶稣怎么做,我们就怎么做,第二章讲得胜的教会是根基,后来才讲到信心、恩赐这些真理。 我是一个抓概念的人,所以我学习非常好,每次都很喜欢把概念理得非常清楚,我想这是值得大家去学习的一件事,如果我们把教会、医治释放、牧养和信心的概念都整清楚了,会得着极多的恩典。 过去这几天,我妈妈常常被鬼抓去,因为我妈妈岁数大了,人的思想极其顽固,就在大前天,我妈妈说:走在黄泉路上,那里有水沟,正要捧起水沟里的水喝,天上有声音告诉她不要喝,她就没有喝,我妈妈说那是我的声音。我们当中的服侍她的姐妹,看到她的状况不对劲就把她叫回来了,这样的状况连续发生了好几次。 也就是说这黄泉路、孟婆汤和牛头马面这些事都有点真,孟婆汤喝了以后,就像一杯忘情水一样,就忘记了所有的事。我妈妈回来以后跟我说这话,我非常的震撼,原来灵界是如此的真实。后来我就感谢神,我说:神啊,感谢你把建造得胜教会的启示赐给我,让我在活着的时候有机会建造得胜的教会。首先我就祝福了我的家人,我的家人成了我拯救的对象,我成了我家族的拯救。

得胜的教会非常的重要,可以践踏阴间的权势,这给我们一个非常重要的启示,就是我们不要再追求恩赐,要追求建造得胜荣耀的教会,追求得着命定,这命定就是我为什么而活,为什么而死,如果我们为建造耶稣基督的身体而活,也为建造耶稣基督的身体而死,我们就会活出精彩的一生。 我深信使徒保罗在《以弗所书》第一章所写的都会成就在我们身上,就是我们华人命定神学所传扬的神学观念都要在这个世代成就,我们会看见神的荣耀彰显在全地之上。

教会要建造在磐石上,这块磐石很有意思,耶稣基督是一块跌人的磐石,我曾经有一篇讲道是《跌人的磐石》,被大量的转发,为什么呢?因为耶稣基督是跌人的磐石,在这磐石上建造教会,就会得着神的荣耀,如果跌倒在这磐石上,就会被这磐石砸得粉碎。 这磐石就是耶稣基督的话和道,所以在《以赛亚书》上写着: **末后的日子,人要登耶和华的山,奔雅各 神的殿。** 雅各神的殿是指荣耀的教会,为什么在这座山上呢?因为这块山是磐石,按着雷克乔纳在《末日决战》里头所看到的异象,这山是由不同层次的真理不断累积起来的。 攀爬这山就是在悟性上认识神的真理的一个过程,所以认识属灵真理的过程,就是建造得胜教会的关键。这磐石就是耶和华的山,当我们在神的话语和真理上不断攀登的时候,你一定会看见神的能力被彰显出来,这就是耶稣基督和使徒保罗没有写医治释放的课件的原因,他们只写了一件事就是建立得胜荣耀的教会。

人一定要抓住最重要的,得胜的教会做医治释放,自然而然就会彰显出神的大能,我们当中的弟兄姐妹,你想不想成为神国度里一个大有能力的勇士?如果想,一定要拥有建造神荣耀教会的心智。 建造神荣耀的教会需要付代价,这代价是值得的,神的话怎么说,我们就怎么建造神的教会。在过去讲到医治释放研讨会的四堂课里,有相当多的人打着神的旗号反对医治释放这件事,为什么他们反对呢?因为他们觉得自己有真理。但真正的真理一定要回归到《圣经》里去,他们背后的黑暗权势反对这福音是大有能力的福音,而对魔鬼造成重创的正是这大有能力的福音,所以魔鬼一定会带着光明天使的面具来抵挡。 弟兄姐妹可以不相信我的话,但是你必须回到《圣经》里去仔细查考我所说的,因为这磐石就是神的真理,我们要谨守遵行神的话,照着神的话建造神的教会,才会有神的同在和神的荣耀。如果我们不照着神的话建造教会,那结果是何等的严重,无法想象。 我告诉大家一个事,癌症绝对不是一个祝福,如果你认为是一个祝福,那你就自己留着吧,癌症不是一个祝福,但是今天在牧师这个行当里,得癌症的比例超过平常人的比例,原因就在于这是跌人的磐石,读了神的话,却不照着神的话去建造教会,那岂不是咒诅?读了神的话,却也不照着神的话去传福音,岂不也受咒诅?

有的人说,新约《圣经》里没有咒诅,但是《加拉太书》里说,如果你所领受的福音,不是保罗所传的福音,那所传给你们的,这人就应当受咒诅。更何况是建造教会呢?我们岂不是应当恐惧战兢,做成得救的工夫。 无论在旧约还是在新约,都在讲谨守遵行神的话,谨守遵行是何等严谨的一件事,建造神的教会怎么可能随着自己的意思建造呢?如果你给我装修房子,那需要照着我的意思装修,不能按你的意思给我装修。否则我就会问:为什么装修成这样?你说:我觉得应该装修成这样,我想装修成什么样就什么样。那业主会给你钱吗?不让你赔就不错了。 弟兄姐妹,我们的头脑要清醒,建造神荣耀的教会,是我们荣耀的命定,也是一件很严谨的事,如果我们不按着神的话建造,那是建造在磐石之上吗?不是。我最初建造建会的时候,就受了咒诅,当时是四面楚歌,我还以为我是约伯呢,重新认识神以后,现在一帆风顺的走过来。刚开始建造教会,我不用耶稣基督吸引人,我用烧鸡烧鸭吸引人,然后吸引来的都是吃货和饭桶。 直到今天,很多人还是照着我最初建造教会的方式去建造,为什么呢?因为我当时持怀疑的态度认为,耶稣会吸引人来教会?但今天我们只讲耶稣基督钉十字架,**因祂的宝血我们得救赎,因祂的鞭伤我们得医治,这是何等荣耀的一件事。**

后来我一直在寻求到底如何建造教会,摩西在旷野里建造会幕,是按着神在天上指示摩西的那个样式建造的,而且清清楚楚的写着海狗皮、橛子和各样的材料,如果在旷野里找不到海狗皮,就用狗皮代替一下行吗?不行。本来用海狗皮,没有海狗皮就用了狗皮,狗皮也没有,最后用了耗子皮,这里变一点,那里变一点,那就麻烦了。但是今天很多的教会都这么整。 比如洗礼,刚开始都去约旦河洗礼,后来说约旦河太远了,就在家里整一个缸,结果缸也太麻烦了,就整一个盆,盆也麻烦,就整个碗,再后来碗也麻烦,整个瓶装点水,拿个小柳树枝在那里点,这都不是耶稣基督所传的洗礼。 有的人生病躺在床上不能下地,或者有人在耶稣的旁边被挂在十字架上,这没有办法洗礼,我们都能理解,但是你一个活蹦乱跳的大活人在做什么呢?难道我们不能效法《圣经》里所写的那个样子吗?其实用盆、缸都不重要,关键是里面的心态不健康,就想着省事,偷工减料。 如果建造一个大坝偷工减料,那就是一个豆腐渣工程,水把大坝冲垮的时候是很危险的,甚至可能出现人命的危险。我们建造飞机的时候偷工减料,你敢坐吗?少拧几个螺钉,飞机在空中玻璃就没有了,飞行员就从里面被吸出去,你要不要坐这样的飞机?我们都不要。所以建造神的教会,神怎么说我们就怎么造,要特别严谨。

在《圣经》里,保罗的书信都是在讲建造神荣耀的教会,尤其是《以弗所书》,《歌罗西书》、《罗马书》、《哥林多前书》和《哥林多后书》,全在讲建造神荣耀的教会。 摩西的帐幕是严格按着神的启示建造的,从来没有偷工减料,结果神的荣耀就充满了帐幕。后来大卫要建造神的圣殿,神就启示给大卫,用手指头画出来圣殿的模样,结果所罗门是按着神给大卫的启示建造了圣殿,包括约柜和各种各样的东西,都是照着神的启示建造的,最后所罗门建造完圣殿,神的荣耀充满在圣殿当中,人们在路上都没有办法站立,因为神的荣光充满,所有人都俯伏跪拜。 我们今天建造教会就是建造神的殿,岂可马马虎虎呢?使徒保罗为了建造神荣耀的教会,不是把自己的生命完全摆上了吗?如果你有一颗建造神荣耀教会的心志,就好好去读《圣经》,读完了好好去落实,不要断章取义。

教会是神的军队,打的是属灵的仗,如果教会在属灵争战的过程中得胜,医治释放就会像雨后春笋一样,你一定会看见教会的得胜带来大量的医治释放。 争战得胜才能够带来应许,到了《出埃及记》,正满了四百三十年的那一天,耶和华的军队从埃及出来了,在《民数记》当中,一开始讲能打仗的才算数,不能打仗的是不算数的,《民数记》、《申命记》、《约书亚记》,都是在讲争战得胜才能够得着应许之地。 我们弟兄姐妹必须知道一件事,必须建造得胜的教会,就是神的军队,大家要知道靠着神的灵赶鬼就是神的国降临。《以赛亚书》六十一章第一节说: **被掳的得释放,被压制的得自由。** 这和耶稣所说的是一样的: **在地上捆绑的,在天上也要被捆绑,在地上释放的,在天上也要被释放,阴间的权势不能胜过它 。**

医治释放是教会的基本工作,得胜的教会是医治释放的根基,我们弟兄姐妹要开始知道,这是福音的本意是使**被掳的得释放,被压制的得自由。**没有比这更好的事了,我们弟兄姐妹不要再怀疑神的话,就单单的选择相信神纯正的福音。 我们已经把这样的事做出来给大家看,所以才敢跟大家如此的分享。有一个老姐妹找我为她祷告,昨天她奉献了一千块钱,我说:好,我代你转给教会。这个老姐妹失眠二十年,她儿子也是一个牧师,她儿子为她祷告,她的抗安眠药量增加到四倍,当她来找我的时候,我说我可以为你做医治释放,但你得领受一件事,就是建造得胜教会的观念,我也很希望你儿子建造的是一个得胜的教会。 我说:你知道为什么我为你祷告你会好,你儿子为你祷告不会好吗?她说:不知道。这跟教会的得胜和不得胜紧密相关,前几天他儿子联系我,说他们教会的争战开始了,我想那是一场很血腥的争战,任何想要建造得胜教会的,一定是要经过一场血腥的争战,我如何走过来,我也知道所有建造神得胜教会的也将如此走过来。 后来老人家跟我讲,我接受你的教会观。因为我的服侍,她几乎得着完全的医治,最后我希望她能够回到自己的教会,和她儿子一同争战,建造神荣耀的教会。

在我里面有一个深深的心愿,因为在这个世代,即使有一千间、一万间、十万间得胜的教会也服侍不完,我不想说这个只有我能做,不是,我是希望所有的教会都能释放被掳的和被压制的灵魂。 我们训练出来的弟兄姐妹,全是奉献的弟兄姐妹,全是委身摆上的。如果你愿意了解如何建造得胜的教会,你就开始揣摩一件事,我们是否严谨的按着神的话去建造?如果你心里有极大的渴望去服侍你们教会的老弱病残,那么开始从建造得胜的教会开始,死也要建造得胜的教会!这一生一定会活出神在我们身上美好的计划。 我宁愿要耶稣基督的三百精兵,也不要乌合之众啊!闲杂人等在教会带来的是败坏,在《圣经》里你会看到耶和华的军队从埃及出来,其中有很多闲杂人等都死在了旷野里。 基督耶稣的教会是一个精兵的教会,因为基甸的三百精兵强于那三万人,按着人的逻辑,三万人中,即使有五千人往回跑,那三百人也会被那五千人踩死,就不用打仗了。但是基甸的三百精兵是神大能的勇士,三百人就可以把对方的军队打败。 所以我们要建造神得胜的教会,一定是建造一个高标准的教会,而我们这群人,一定是能够为神摆上自己,付上生命为代价的一群人! 愿神祝福大家!
