Remove the Unbelief Within Us

Today's topic is Do Not Fear, Nor Be Dismayed. If you are fearful or dismayed, you will be unable to bear your Mingding Destiny. What Chinese Mingding Destiny speaks of is destiny, which is the longing to become a blessing to many. But if you are a weak, timid, and not strong enough person, filled with fear and dismay, you will not be able to become a blessing to others.

In fact, wanting to bless someone is very difficult. The testimony we heard today was full of hardships and tears throughout the entire process. From the beginning, we had to deal with this person, because he was the one ruining himself, but he didn't know it and just followed the desires of his flesh. To solve his problem, we had to confront him, and this process was a conflict. We saw the person being ministered to cry, and when the person being ministered to grew, we shed tears of gratitude because it was not easy.

Today, we heard about a child who came out of a state of just getting by and became a useful person who could create value, and the boss also liked her very much. She was able to become such a person because there was no fear or dismay within us. Last Sunday, we talked about the leaven of the Pharisees, which is timidity, fear, cowardice, and superficiality—that is, unbelief. Christians' unbelief is notorious; the road of Christian unbelief is littered with corpses! The Lord Jesus often criticized our unbelief, which is a very pitiful thing.

Today, brothers and sisters, let us carefully consider, what kind of path are we pushing you to take today? It is a path of trusting in God. In fact, our God has never left us nor forsaken us; it is our unbelief that has forsaken God, and it is our unbelief that has separated us from God's power. Today, everyone should carefully ponder what I am saying.

A sister was in very bad shape some time ago because her pastor was too weak and could not fix her problems, so she chatted with her cronies online. In the conversation, she talked about tithing. Isn't it laughable to talk about tithing with an unbelieving friend? In fact, we really don't need her offering. She calculated with her friend that if it was 100,000, she would have to offer 10,000, and if it was 1 million, she would have to offer 100,000. But the question is, can having more money help us? Can those cronies help us? In fact, this sister is very rich, but can money help her? No!

Her granddaughter had a 38-degree spinal curvature, and if she was sent to the hospital, the risk would be very high, and she might never stand up again in her life. We once took this child to pray for healing and deliverance, and she recovered a lot. But because there was too much garbage in her, the problem came back after a while.

Garbage inside a person will definitely ferment. If a person is filled with the leaven of the Pharisees, it will definitely turn him into a Pharisee. If a person is filled with unbelief, it will definitely separate him from God's power. It is not that God has forsaken us, but that we have forsaken God. This sister is very rich, but can money help her?

Yesterday evening, a sister broke down because she felt that her child was not living up to her expectations. She hoped that her child could believe in the Lord and experience God's power with her. In fact, her husband and her child also know about her experience; she was once on the verge of death, and God healed her through my hands. But her child just doesn't believe. The family is actually rich, but why did she still break down? Because money cannot solve many problems. Today, brothers and sisters can slowly investigate what problems money can solve.

In fact, the church does not need money, nor does it need your offerings. If you do not understand the meaning of offering, I would rather not receive it. The church is to bring people into God's promises and blessings. If the church is full of the leaven of the Pharisees, how can it bring people into blessings and promises? The Pharisees' leaven of unbelief is through fear and dismay. If the church cannot be strong and is full of fear and dismay, how can it bring people into God's promises?

Today, many of our pastors actually have fear in them. Let us ask ourselves again, what do people live by? If you think it is by money, then I wish you good luck! We must figure out what people live by. In fact, I am not an incapable person, but I know that I live to rely on God. I came to know God in a situation where I was besieged on all sides and extremely sad.

If people know God's promises, know that people need to rely on God to live, and know God's power, how wonderful that is! The Bible records many of God's miraculous deeds, but there are still many Christians who are afraid and dismayed. Then you will not be able to bring the people you shepherd into God's promises, and you will not be able to become a blessing to your family.

Today, we are pushing the brothers and sisters of the church to become a blessing to many people, to become a blessing to your family. If you cannot bless your own family, cannot bless your parents and family, how can you become a blessing to more people? If you really desire to bear your Mingding Destiny, to become a blessing to your family, and to become a blessing to many people, then listen carefully to my sharing.

God's Promises Are Faithful

These past few days, I have been very grateful to my God! My mother has completely recovered after two years of Alzheimer's disease. People think that if you are 81 this year, you will be 82 next year, and 84 in two years, thinking that you will get older and worse. But I tell you, it is definitely not like that! I am so very thankful to my God that I am glad that I have no fear or dismay in the Lord Jesus Christ and have become a blessing to my mother.

Now the old woman's condition is even better than before she had Alzheimer's, not only better than it was two years ago, but even better than it was ten years ago. A few days ago, I took her to the mall to buy clothes. In fact, shopping in the mall is very tiring. The old woman actually walked with me for several hours. She tried on clothes there, was so happy, and her legs and feet were very flexible.

How did my mother get better? It was because I trusted in God and had no fear or dismay. Do you know what kind of situation I often encountered? In the past two years, on my mother's body, one thing was reaffirmed: God's promises are too real. Once, my sister called me, and I saw in the video that my mother's eyes, nose, and mouth were bleeding. She looked like she was about to die. She was only breathing out and not breathing in.

Then I prayed desperately, and the sound of my prayer changed. Finally, my mother came back to life and didn't die. It was just like a crosstalk, the breath didn't go down. As result, when my mother woke up, she told us how the devil had taken her away and how the ghosts let her back after we prayed. It was so amazing!

Another time, my mother stared at me, her eyes glazed over, and then told me she was going to die. If your own family member tells you he is going to die, what is your reaction? Some people's reaction is to hold their mother's head and say, Mom, you can't die. Doesn't that often happen in movies? But I didn't; I knew God's promises.

Some people say that people always have to die, which is another matter. But I trust in my God. I grabbed my mother's collar, pulled her out of bed, and took her to pray. After 15 minutes, she was running around on the ground and laughing and saying to me, Oh, at this rate, I can live a few more years. I said, You will not only live a few more years, but you will also bear a beautiful testimony for God.

This is what pleases God the most in me. I hope that all our brothers and sisters and all our pastors can inherit from me no fear and no dismay. I often say, I am not afraid of my own death, am I still afraid of your death? I don't care about my own death, would I care about your death? In Jesus Christ, there is no bottom line, only God's promises, no fear, and no dismay.

Scripture

Then Moses called Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and of good courage, for you must go with this people to the land which the Lord has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall cause them to inherit it. And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.” (Deuteronomy 31:7-8)

After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, it came to pass that the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying: “Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses. From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory. No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:1-9)

Prayer

God, today let what you have said be accomplished in our lives; today we will all choose to no longer be afraid or dismayed; we will all choose to be strong and courageous, because we are going in to possess the land; today your people will all receive your promises and enter into the promised land; today we will come out of the wilderness and enter into the promised land; today you will make us strong and courageous; today we will choose to obey your words and keep and observe them! We will often meditate on your words so that we can keep and observe them! We want to know for sure, Lord, that you have never left us and have never forsaken us! Today, remove the unbelief within us so that we can trust in you and be victorious in battle in this life! In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Encountering Problems, Start Seeking God

The promises in the Bible are so amazing that they are praised! Not getting the promises is a very serious matter. Why don't we get them? This is worth exploring!

There is one person among us who is pastoring a church, but he has not been able to do it effectively for a long time. Later, he heard me speak online and implemented what I said. Then he sent a message to one of our pastors, and the pastor showed me the message. He said that what I said was very good, and when he implemented it, he found that many people in their church were healed!

Before, he could not get the promises, so he went to seek them. He found our website and started learning and implementing what I was saying. He discovered that God's promises are really so real! Why is there such a change? Because what I transmit is faith. I do not walk according to people's circumstances. I do not walk according to what I have experienced. I walk according to God's word. Many people say that I am an evangelical. Evangelicals believe that the Bible is God's word, but they believe it but do not implement it according to God's word.

We are not evangelicals, not charismatics; we are of the Jesus faction. We listen to God's word and then implement it. As a result, we have brought many people into the promises. We start from seeing the problem, raising the problem, seeking the answer, getting revelation, and solving the problem. At that time, I saw that the church could not enter into the promised land and could not stand in the promises. What was the reason for this? I saw this problem. I would not say that there is no problem, that believing in the Lord is like this, and that the church is like this. I would not say that it was Jesus and that God would not do that anymore after two thousand years.

But I found that there are many people who like to talk nonsense. When did our God say that God would not do that anymore after two thousand years? From the creation to today, God's promises have never changed! Many people see the problem and pretend that the problem does not exist. I saw the problem and raised the problem. In the early days when I established the church, I saw the problem, raised the problem, started seeking God and getting revelation, and then solved the problem.

We must know that if you can raise the problem after seeing it, you have already solved half of it. Because our God wants us all to seek Him. If people see the problem and tell lies with their eyes open, and they talk nonsense and explain things that the God in the Bible never said, and they cannot get the promises, this is a very serious problem.

God Is Our Greatest Physician

A few days ago, I received a message that a pastor whom I respected very much, a free evangelist, was seriously ill and being rescued in the hospital. Many people said to quickly pray for this pastor, and I felt very sad. This old pastor was very ill, and we, human, believe in doctors. Seeing a doctor or not seeing a doctor is originally a very confusing matter. I have never opposed people seeing doctors. If you want to see a doctor, then I wish you good luck.

What I am saying is that not getting the promises is a very serious problem. Isn't our God the greatest physician? Another of my pastor friends has cancer, and he doesn't like me to visit him because I speak very harshly. What I say are all the words in the Bible: Our God is the greatest physician! Why can't people get the promises? Do we need to ask? It's not as if God is originally like this; there is no such thing at all! God's promises, in Jesus Christ, no matter how many there are, are yes!

Today, everyone should no longer be confused. I have not stopped everyone from seeing doctors, but I encourage everyone to start seeking God. In the Bible, Jesus did not lead a group of doctors with Jesus. It was that Jesus touched and they were healed, because Jesus is God. Does today's Jesus not heal? Today's Jesus still heals! Some people say that getting sick is normal, but today let us consider that if Christians usually preach a powerless gospel and then continue to do so, all they talk about are little jokes that sound very good, but it is not God's power.

If the gospel we preach is not God's power, isn't that a very sad thing? This gospel is the power of God. Everyone should read Romans carefully. This gospel is the power of God to save everyone who believes. The Bible has never said that it is a sin for people to see doctors, but it has never said that doctors were also created by God and it has never said that God will heal people through the hands of doctors. These are not the words in the Bible; these are the words that people have made up themselves.

I have also not seen Jesus doing healing with a group of doctors there. What I saw was that Jesus touched and they were healed. I long to get such promises. If I am filled with fear and dismay, I will not be able to release God's promises and grace.

Today, brothers and sisters, rethink this matter. Why are there still hospitals and doctors? Then you should ask the hospital's board of directors and the president. What they discuss in their meetings is the efficiency of the hospital. Why do many parents in Singapore like their children to become doctors? Because doctors make a lot of money. Today, when you ask the doctors, is it to heal or to make money? This matter is worth exploring. I will not give you the answer, and don't ask me. I have no answer. Even if I have the answer, I will not tell you.

What people need is God, not doctors. People without God need doctors. Today, the example of my mother, the example of my father, and many examples have proven this. But you have your choice, and I have my choice. You can rely on money, and you can rely on doctors. You can rely on everything you rely on, but I rely on my God. I have seen God manifest God's power and release God's promises through me. This is only a drop in the ocean.

If I am still able to do such things, if knowing God is like the sea filling the ocean, what great power will be released! I know that there are still many of God's promises. Many people like to use all kinds of words to prove this and prove that, proving that people's unbelief is reasonable. But today I will prove this and prove that: God's gospel is the power of God! Prove that God's promises are faithful!

Although I am not good enough, I am still able to get them. If you are good enough, won't you be able to get more? Today, if brothers and sisters cannot get the promises, it is because they see the problem and deny the problem. If we see the problem, we will raise the problem, seek the answer, and get revelation!

All the books that I have written were obtained by seeking God on my knees in prayer. I read God's word, and I didn't know how to interpret it, so I prayed and sought God! I know one thing: God's word stands firm in heaven, and I will believe and act according to what God says. Because I have seen God's promises manifested one by one in my life, which is truly wonderful!

Confronting Inner Fear and Panic

The context of the scriptures we are discussing today is that Moses is about to hand over his leadership position to Joshua, as Moses is nearing his death. God wants Joshua to lead 3 million Israelites across the Jordan River and into the Promised Land. This is an extremely difficult task because Joshua is faced with a group of giants.

Bringing the Israelites to the Promised Land is a difficult battle, a real fight! Entering the Promised Land means facing strong enemies, people inside who are very fierce. What do you do? If we want to bring people to the Promised Land, the situation we face is similar. Because we are all facing strong enemies. Why are there so many spiritual casualties among Christians today? It is because Christians cannot overcome fear and panic. That is truly deadly! The strong enemies they face are extremely powerful.

Joshua was about to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land, and in his tent, he was filled with feelings that were difficult to control. Today, the burden of managing the Israelites falls on him, and he must enter the west side of the Jordan River to seize the Promised Land. He might be trembling, but in his fear, God spoke to Joshua, Do not be afraid or dismayed, for you shall lead Israel into the Promised Land. The basis for this is, I will not leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land. This is the context of this passage.

Before winning a battle, you do not know what the outcome will be. Who is not afraid? Every time I minister to people, my heart is filled with fear and panic, but every time I remember God's promise, I just need to be strong and very courageous. It is not that there is no feeling of fear, not that there is no feeling of panic - they are all there. It is that we confront and deal with the fear and panic inside us. If we go along with that feeling, we cannot minister to people.

On what basis do we say that God has never left us and never forsaken us? Not based on our actions, but based on our faith, based on God's faithfulness. Today, we believe that God is faithful; God's faithfulness has never diminished. When I faced my mother's Alzheimer's disease, that feeling was really unbearable.

She sat in the toilet playing with faeces, and no one could stand it; it was very hard. Later, my mother said something to me, and after hearing it, I realized that the devil was too evil; the devil can change what people see. The devil said, Eat this, it's Jiangmi Tiao (a type of Chinese snack). My mother thought the faeces were Jiangmi Tiao. It was clearly faeces, and she was very distressed after she woke up.

The devil can really make people see things in a distorted way, so do not trust your own eyes; believe in God's words. It was a very hopeless situation; I had never ministered to someone with Alzheimer's disease, and I never thought it would happen to my mother. I refused to accept it. I knew that the promises of my God would never be abandoned.

Today, you have come among us, and perhaps you have received grace from this aspect or that. Where does it start? It starts from the unwavering faith in God within me. Because I want to bring this group of brothers and sisters to the Promised Land, when I saw my mother's condition, I knew that my God had never forsaken us, so I cast the demons out of my mother's body again and again and again. They went out and came back, and I cast them out again. It went on like this for two years.

Some pastors say, Oh, we have cast out demons before, but they come back after we cast them out, so casting out demons is useless. Where does the Bible say that casting out demons is useless? No, I am very familiar with the words of the Bible. I cast them out as soon as they came. It does not matter, until two years later, my mother was able to return to normal.

The demons are hateful; they told me, I caused all the diseases in your mother's body. As long as I leave, all her diseases will be healed. The demons are also foolish; in fact, they did not need to tell me, but I already knew that they had caused all these diseases. Ten years ago, my mother would pant after walking a few steps, but today she is completely fine and has no problem walking a long distance with me.

Brothers and sisters, trusting in God's promises requires understanding one thing:we need to remove the fear and panic inside us. It is not that Joshua and Moses, or you and I, do not have feelings of fear; we do. It is not that we do not have these feelings inside us; we do. If we did not, God would not have told Joshua, would not have told him not to be afraid or dismayed.

Building Faith on God's Promises

Today, are we willing to build all our faith on God's promises? Are we willing to remove all the fear inside us through the word of God? Because God's arm has never been shortened; God has never changed from ancient times to this day. Every time we encounter new difficulties and new battles, it is not that we are not afraid or dismayed, but that we choose not to be afraid or dismayed.

Last night, there was a child's mother whose whole situation was not actually that bad, but she handled it very poorly. Her child originally had no ability, but was very stubborn and unwilling to repent, so she wanted to kick him out. Later, I learned about this and called the mother. The mother thought that if she kicked him out, he might repent after hitting many walls, that was her idea.

But she did not know that she was not clear about the work of the devil and of people; she did not know that fear and panic come from the spiritual realm. People will collapse if they cannot distinguish between people and demons. She saw her son's appearance and was really distressed. She wanted her son to repent, but her son would not repent.

To this day, among the people I have trained, whether they have learned or have not yet learned, today they must learn one thing: when you minister to your family, bringing your family to the Promised Land, you must learn to see whether it is a person speaking or a demon speaking. If I had ministered to my mother in this way, my mother would not have been able to get out of it.

I am very clear that many times it is the demons speaking. Demons live inside people and deliberately provoke us, causing us to lose faith in God, and then people will be very tired and will take human ways to solve the problem. But if you know which are people and which are demons. Which child does not want to prosper? Which person does not want to live with dignity and hope?

In fact, we do not need to doubt this matter; people all want to live prosperously. Everyone knows when they are not living well, they know it themselves. Our job is to be a blessing to them, bringing them into God's promises, becoming a blessing to our own families, becoming a blessing to our friends.

Today, many of our family members are under oppression. When we are strengthened and prepared to fight, you will find that the reaction of our family members is very strange. Like the sister I ministered to yesterday, she was very broken down, why? Because her husband saw it with his own eyes; her husband was right next to her. He saw with his own eyes that a person who had been sick for three months was able to jump around and go home after I prayed for an hour.

But her husband said a lot of nonsense, which was very infuriating. Do we need to collapse? We do not need to collapse. We know that this is a battle. We need to release him from the oppression of the devil and bring him into God's promises. Know that the arm of our God has never been shortened.

Today, will the situation you face be more tragic than my mother's Alzheimer's situation? No. My mother said a lot of rubbish, but it does not matter, that was the demons speaking, the demons living inside the person speaking. I just believe in God's promises. Facing this very hopeless situation, there is no fear, no panic, only one thing: God's promises are faithful.

Some people often bring out many things to argue, especially Paul's thorn in the flesh. Please, Paul's thorn in the flesh was given to Paul; only people like Paul deserve that thorn. You and I basically cannot talk about whether we are worthy; basically, we cannot talk about that thorn; we have not reached that level yet. You are far from Paul's thorn in the flesh; what you need is the powerful gospel that Paul preached.

Today, let us ask, did Abraham have Alzheimer's disease? No! Did Joshua have Alzheimer's disease? No! Did Moses have Alzheimer's disease? No! Today, brothers and sisters must know that Alzheimer's disease is a spirit; it is a very powerful evil spirit.

A weak and powerless faith is useless. Finding a thousand or ten thousand excuses is useless. Bringing our family members and the people we know into God's blessings, that is the key. Remove the despair inside us; remove the fear inside us; remove the panic inside us; remove the collapse inside us. If you want to be a blessing to your family, you need one thing, you only need one thing:fear God, keep and obey God's words, and remove the bad habits inside us.

The Bible records a King Saul; he did not fear God; he was afraid that his soldiers would leave him, he was afraid that enemies would attack him, he was afraid that his throne would be taken away, but he did not fear God. So when we begin to fear God and keep and obey His words, we will no longer fear these things.

If we fear our church members, we will not be able to be a blessing to them. If we fear our church members, we will be like King Saul, and we will lack strength and courage inside us. In the early days, I said to the brothers and sisters in the church, It does not matter, even if the church is left with only me, I will still trust in God! Do you understand?

Today, we must all confront the many fears inside us. Some people just do not fear God. If we fear God and respect God's words, we do not need to fear anything. King Saul is a very typical example; he feared many things, but he did not fear God. David feared God and feared nothing else. It is not that there is no feeling of fear; there is a feeling of fear, but we deal with it through the word of God.

If you and I desire to have Mingding Destiny, begin to desire to grow, to become leaders, to become a blessing to others, not to become a blessing to ourselves, but to become a blessing to many people, bringing many people to the Promised Land, then you must confront the fear inside you.

Striving to Deal with the Bad Habits of Good People

I have found that recently I have been talking more about dealing with the bad habits of good people. Good people are afraid to deal with the bad habits of others and just want to be good on their own, then you cannot become a blessing to others. If you cannot become a blessing to others, where does Mingding Destiny come from? Being a good person is a bad habit. Today, I once again challenge everyone, can we come out of fear? Preserving the face of others means not wanting to bless them.

There are couples among us who are both good people. When the brothers and sisters in the church discussed things with them in the past, they could talk about anything without wanting to cause any conflicts. If you only want to preserve face, how can you bless them? Today, brothers and sisters, let us come out of this bad habit of being good on our own and preserving face, because we are inheriting Mingding Destiny; we want to become a blessing to many people. We will pass on the true words of God, even if it offends people.

When a brother left Singapore, I took him out for a meal and then took him to the airport, but this brother still had quite a few bad habits, so I said to him, You must completely shatter the dreams of the world! Because he often wavers between the dreams of the world and the dreams of God. He wavers very painfully and has not been completely released from the oppression of evil spirits. When such people make decisions, evil spirits will disturb you and often make wrong decisions. I want to be a blessing to him, so why would I care about his face?

If you also want to be a blessing to others, you must be an honest person. In fact, you can point out the problems of others, not for your own benefit. So the Apostle Paul often said, For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God.

Today, there are many among us who have just joined our church from outside. Are you unwilling to deal with their problems in the process of pastoring them? If you are unwilling to deal with them, you will not be able to become a blessing to others. If you want to bring many people to the Promised Land that God has given, you must be strong and courageous, overcoming the fear inside you, because fear will paralyse our inner abilities.

Being a good person is useless; you will find it very strange that even the people you pastor will bully you. But if we begin to desire to be a blessing to many people, we will begin to come out of fear, because fear cannot fulfil God's promises. Only fearing God and keeping and obeying His words, that is the key! Today, brothers and sisters, listen carefully, what are we after? It is to bring you into God's blessings, so we are strong and courageous, without fear and panic, we muster up the courage to deal with the bad habits of our brothers and sisters, only in this way can we bless others!

May God bless everyone!
