Building a Victorious Church is the Answer to All Problems

I am here to share with you the final teaching on the revelation of building a victorious church: What does building a victorious church have to do with me? I think people have many confusions in life, and one of the biggest confusions is whether we should live according to our own will. Living according to one's own will is a great fallacy. In my observation, people who live according to their own will often end up with unfavorable results.

This matter has had a profound impact on me. I have been asking all along: What are people living for? And if I have a plan of my own, what exactly is my plan? Today, our views on what it means to live vary greatly. What I want to say is that building a victorious church is closely related to us.

Why do I ask what people are living for? Because I am very helpless about the problems people encounter; the problems people encounter are basically not within our control. What is the key? The key is the lack of ability and authority. It was not until I knew Jesus Christ that I discovered that our answers are all in God.

Later, I came to a conclusion that I must live according to God's plan. The historical development of mankind is not within my control. Then who is in control? God is in control. Living according to my own plan, my plan is ineffective. But if I live according to God's plan, is it effective? Let us discuss this matter.

But no matter how I discuss it, it is not as good as using practical things to prove it. How can practical things prove it? It is when we implement God's words that we will see a very obvious result: many, many problems will be solved easily. The confusions in our lives, the answers to all problems, are all in God's words. This is exactly what the Bible says: Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” (Matthew 4:4)

Rejecting the Church View of Individual Cultivation

What does God's word say? From Genesis to Revelation, God reveals a way to walk with God. How do we walk with God? It is to pay the price to build a victorious church. But if we carefully observe the phenomena around us, you will find that the Chinese Mingding Destiny's preaching of paying the price for God's plan, even paying the price of life, is not necessarily very popular today, especially in this very modern society. Churches are generally becoming weaker and weaker, making this statement even more confusing.

People live for themselves, but what problems can living for themselves solve? No problems can be solved. But living for God and living according to God's plan can solve many problems easily. This is not just empty talk, but a summary of our practice. So when we read God's word, we put it into practice, and we will see that God's word is indeed powerful. What is a big confusion we often have? After becoming Christians, it is easy to embark on the path of self-cultivation.

Many people feel that I love God, and God loves me. I am the bride of Jesus Christ, so I want to enter the secret chamber, be with God, and pursue many inner lives. But once you leave the building of a victorious church, people will not be able to enter into God's plan, because God's plan is accomplished through the body of Jesus Christ, which is the church.

In the Bible, whenever the house of Jesus Christ, the house of God, the body of Jesus Christ, or the army of God, or the temple of God, or the New Jerusalem, or Mount Zion is mentioned, these all refer to the church of God. But if we confuse these concepts, not knowing that they refer to the church, thinking that it is the earthly Jerusalem, and then go to the Temple Mount today for a walk, to the Garden of Gethsemane, then to the Wailing Wall, and to Jesus' tomb for a walk, take pictures, what can you see? You can't see anything. Is there any effect? There will be no effect.

So we must know that many concepts mentioned in the Bible actually refer to the church. If God's plan is to build a victorious church, then entering into God's plan is called walking with God.

Recognizing the Two Main Axes of Human History

If you read Genesis chapter 5, there is a person named Enoch. Everyone in that generation died, but only Enoch walked with God, and later God took him away. The Bible reveals to us that we must enter into God's plan. God's entire plan, and the devil's corruption of God's plan, are the two main axes of human history.

Let me give you an example. In the early days, God created Adam and Eve, originally wanting to bring Adam and Eve into a very unified relationship with God. As a result, the devil tempted Adam and Eve to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. What was the result? Separation from God. Who did this? The devil did it. After the devil did this, later Cain also appeared. The devil also tempted Cain to kill Abel.

Later, Enosh was born, and then a new branch appeared. When Noah came, the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, so they took any they chose as wives, and the children born were mighty men of old, men of renown. In that generation, these people were full of violence on the earth, which means that many people lived for themselves and had their own plans. What was the result? The earth was full of violence.

So what happened later? God chose Noah's family, and a great flood left only Noah's family of eight in the world. Human history began again. At the beginning, there were Adam and Eve, and later Noah's family of eight. Among Noah's sons, Ham committed a sin and was cursed. What was the result? A new round of corruption began, all the way to Abraham.

You will find that in that generation, there were often giants in the world. The giants were mighty men of old, men of renown. They all had six fingers and six toes. Don't think I'm talking nonsense; that's what the Bible says. What did these giants do in the world? They hindered God's chosen people from entering the Promised Land and resisted God's people. In other words, there have always been two main axes behind this. What are these two main axes? These two main axes are that the devil is constantly corrupting God's plan of redemption, but God is constantly accomplishing His plan among His people.

Today, our generation is also like this. If people cannot recognize the devil's tricks to corrupt God's plan, we will not be able to enter into God's plan. Later, Nehemiah began to rebuild the former temple, and then trouble began again. After that generation was trained, they all became Pharisees in the days of Jesus.

We will find that there is an invisible hand behind this, constantly corrupting God's plan, and then God is constantly accomplishing His plan among His chosen people. Such things will continue until the Book of Revelation, when we will be surprised to find that Jesus comes to this world with His victorious disciples, whether resurrected from the dead or brought down from heaven, and then reigns on earth for a thousand years. As a result, after this thousand years, Satan is released, and all the people on earth, as numerous as the sand on the seashore and the stars in the sky, come to attack Jesus.

We are very surprised. These people have been governed in Jesus' kingdom for a thousand years. Why would they all come to attack Jesus? Later, Jesus struck down these people with the sword of His mouth, and we were surprised to find that this is a main axis. If we carefully examine the history of the church, we will find that the history of the church also has the same problem, that is, the church is constantly losing the concept of the church.

We all know about Martin Luther's Reformation, but after his Reformation, he changed the view of the church. Justification by faith, he thought it was an individual's behavior, but later facts have repeatedly proven that God has only restored the power of His church today. Individual cultivation cannot restore the power of the church. Only the joint building of a victorious church can.

Building God's Church, Living a God-Centered Life

Many churches are now helpless in the face of the problems people face. Is our God's arm shortened? No, the arm of Jehovah has never been shortened. But people obey the devil's lies and deviate from their own paths. Those who enter into individual cultivation cannot see the power of God. In other words, only by building God's church can we solve the key and answer to the problems of our lives.

You may ask me, why build a victorious church? What does building a victorious church have to do with me? Later, I found that when I talked about the revelation of building a victorious church, our page views and the number of participants were greatly reduced. I was also very surprised! For example, when we talk about healing and deliverance, many people come to participate. Until now, I still owe many people debts. What debts? To do healing and deliverance for everyone.

Many people are healed when we do healing and deliverance for everyone. Why are you healed when you come among us, but you couldn't be healed before? Is the God we believe in different? No. If you are in a non-victorious church, or in a church that constantly promotes the concept of individual cultivation, then people cannot be healed.

If we do not enter into God's plan, we will not be able to draw on God's power. God has been carrying out His plan from the beginning. What is His plan? His plan is to allow us to live out the glorious image He created us in. Allowing us to live out the glorious image God created us in is not an individual behavior; it is a church behavior that can only be accomplished through a victorious church.

Did the Israelites enter Canaan one by one? If they sneaked in one by one, I think everyone would have been killed by the Canaanites. But God built a mighty army, which is very clearly stated in the Book of Exodus. The army of Jehovah came out of Egypt. If you are willing, you can consult the Bible.

In other words, we must know one thing: God is the God of the whole church. Without the church, where would individuals come from? Without the temple, where would other things come from? So after the Israelites came out of Egypt, the first thing was to build the tabernacle, build a place to worship God, and live a God-centered life. So when I was researching the Books of Nehemiah and Ezra, I wrote a book called Living a God-Centered Life.

You will find that among us, we promote living a God-centered life. You may not accept it, and you may not believe it, but how do you solve your problems? You can't solve them. Why do many people believe in the Lord today, but they can't solve any problems? It is because the church is not victorious. In the Old Testament Books of Haggai and Malachi, it says that individuals are only busy building their own houses, but God's temple is desolate. Isn't it the same today?

God wants to raise up prophets like Haggai, and people like Zerubbabel and Joshua the high priest, in our generation, to build a glorious church in a desolate environment. That is the answer to our problems. Many people often ask me, what should I pay attention to regarding the devil this and the devil that? We wrote a song called “Keep and Obey.” Keep and obey what? Keep and obey God's word. In fact, later I gradually discovered that even the devil is under God's management. The devil was also created by God. God has made everything beautiful in its time, so we don't need to be afraid of these things or worry about them.

Adhere to and Obey God's Word, Always Putting God First

A sister once shared that someone she knew was acquainted with a master who could see many things in the spiritual realm with the naked eye. She asked me what precautions to take when interacting with such a person. Should she be wary? In truth, there is only one thing we need to do: adhere to and obey. We must understand the concept of a curse clearly. Curses come from God, and so do blessings. Calamities also come from God, isn't it so?

Since blessings also come from God, we must know what constitutes a blessing. To adhere to and obey God's word, acting according to His word, is to receive blessings. If we violate God's word, whether one is a believer or not, they will be subject to curses. Therefore, we have only one thing to do in life: adhere to and obey. Adhere to and obey what? Adhere to and obey what God has revealed in the Bible.

The most important truth revealed in the Bible is that the Body of Jesus Christ is God's mighty army, the house of Jesus Christ, which is the Church. If we enter into the plan of building a victorious Church, I tell you, you cannot but be blessed. In other words, being blessed is related to what? It is related to adhering to and obeying God's word.

God's word has major and minor aspects. The greatest is: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. The relationship we establish with God is a relationship of love. We do not establish a relationship of mutual exploitation with God; it is a relationship of love. That is to love the Body of Jesus Christ, which is to love God's Church. The Church of God will become the Bride of Jesus Christ in the future, so we can enter into perfect unity with Jesus Christ.

Today, many people value their own families, but who values God's family? Isn't it so? Many people value their own houses, but who values God's temple? Many people value their own little plot of land, but who values God's great plan? God often criticizes people, in the Old Testament and the New Testament, for only caring about their own affairs.

When people read the Bible, they often take verses out of context. They talk about husbands loving their wives and wives submitting to their husbands, yet they forget to read that Paul said: I am referring to Christ and the Church. That is to say, if everyone values their own families today and puts family first, where does that leave the Church? No wonder people encounter so many problems today.

Someone once gave me a statistic, but I do not know if it is accurate, that the proportion of cancer cases among pastors and their wives exceeds the normal proportion. From what I have observed among the pastors I know, this is true. Today I hear that this pastor has cancer, tomorrow that pastor has cancer. My goodness, it is overwhelming and the proportion is higher than that of ordinary people.

Brothers and sisters, if we are to build God's glorious Church, we must place God first in our lives. Throughout the world, there is something called family first. They are very enthusiastic about promoting the concept of the family. They promote being a good father, promote good father movements, give many good father lectures, and organize anti-homosexuality activities, doing many things.

However, the most important thing, building God's glorious Church, building a victorious Church, building a temple filled with God's presence, is rarely spoken about. No wonder there are so many problems in the Church. Many churches talk about how to accept this and how to accept that, talking about how to do good deeds. Yes, we can do good deeds, but without God's power, what kind of good deeds are they? Isn't that so?

Therefore, brothers and sisters, we must return to the Bible. Curses all come from God. If a person violates God's word and departs from God's plan, how can he not be cursed? Therefore, we, brothers and sisters, must begin to think, what kind of thinking? Am I acting according to my own plan, or am I taking up God's plan as my lifelong pursuit?

Why is what we are doing called Chinese Mingding Destiny? Because building a victorious Church is our Mingding Destiny. Building the Body of Jesus Christ, establishing God's house, managing God's house, is our responsibility, not just the responsibility of a pastor, but the responsibility of every Christian. If you are such a person, I tell you, your problems will all be readily solved.

In my early years, I failed to build a victorious Church because I did not know what the Bible said, nor did I think the Bible was good. I always felt that I could do a better job myself. If you talk to people about Jesus, they will come? At that time, I did not think that the name of Jesus could attract people. In fact, when the Son of Man is lifted up on the cross, He will draw all men to Himself. At that time, I did not think so, I really did not think so. When I talked to people about Jesus, they regarded me as an idiot.

So I used a very special method. I used soy-braised beef and roast chicken to attract people to the Church. Was that the Gospel? That was roast duck, roast chicken, and soy-braised beef. Later, I discovered that the Church was full of problems. At that time, in the Church, did we pray for people? Yes, we prayed for this matter all day long, prayed for that matter. This person could not have children, that person had problems with their house, this person had problems finding a job, then this person was sick, that person was sick, a whole pile of problems, but none of them could be solved.

Why? Because the Church did not have God's presence. But fortunately, I was clear that I had not done it right. What was the result? I started to reorganize according to God's word, because I had lost my job, lost everything, and still owed a lot of loans, and did not know where the road was. Since I did not know where the road was, there was only one road, which was to return to God's plan.

When I returned to God's plan and began to build a victorious Church, the result surprised me greatly. I tell you, many people's work problems disappeared, many people's renting problems also disappeared, and the problems of students studying abroad were solved one by one when they came among us. Those who were sick were healed with prayer. I tell you, a huge amount of medical expenses were saved!

What's more, some incurable diseases, such as depression, which doctors cannot solve, are solved when they come among us! I have seen that God's presence is so beautiful. After this experience, I am even more certain that only building a victorious Church is the answer to all our problems. If your life is full of problems today, then you have only one answer, which is to build a victorious Church.

God is a God of great power. He once parted the Red Sea so that the Israelites could walk on dry ground. Later, in Joshua's time, crossing the Jordan River was also like walking on dry ground. Later, in Jesus' time, it was even more miraculous, and in Paul's time it was also very miraculous. Today, if we build a victorious Church according to God's revelation, I tell you, no problem cannot be solved. The problems of our lives are all in the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Therefore, I encourage you, you may not believe what I have said, but you cannot not try it. You have to try it to know. We thought that people could only solve problems when they had money, but in fact, having more money cannot solve all problems.

Everyone must know for sure that when we have Jesus Christ, we begin to enter into God's plan, building the Body of Jesus Christ, building a victorious Church, building a glorious Church. I tell you, your life cannot but be wonderful, you will surely live out God's glory, live out God's most beautiful plan in our lives.

If we have not tried this option, or if you have not finished trying other options, when you try to the end, you must not forget to try the option of building a victorious Church. Be sure to know that our Jesus Christ is a God of great power. Without Jesus Christ, we have no way to enter into the plan of being one with God and walking with God. This person's life is a problem that will never be solved.

Summary

I once again call heaven and earth to bear witness to everyone, hoping that everyone can carefully consider what I have said. I encourage everyone to try it and see if it can solve the problems you are facing today. The problems of a person's life are nothing more than the problems of blessings and curses. If a person's life is a matter of blessings and curses, then it all lies in adhering to and obeying God's word.

If possible, then I think we should strive for it in our lives. I gradually discovered that when a person begins a Christian life, he either dies in the wilderness or enters the promised land. Adhere to and obey God's word, meditate on it day and night, without turning to the left or right, adhere to and obey, and you will prosper in everything. This is written in the first chapter of the Book of Joshua. I think this is the most important thing in a person's life. If other things are more important than this, then try them and see what happens. If you ask again: What does building a victorious Church have to do with me? It has a lot to do with you, because that is the answer to our life's problems!

May God bless everyone.
