What Exactly Are Spiritual Blessings?
I will share a very important topic with everyone, titled Receiving Heavenly Spiritual Blessings. The phrase heavenly spiritual blessings itself brings a lot of confusion. Some people, when they mention blessings, thank the Lord for blessing their business, their children's studies and grades, thinking these are spiritual blessings. Let us carefully consider, are these truly blessings?
These things may seem like blessings in people's eyes, but do they really align with what is described in the Bible? Not quite. I have hardly seen anyone in the Bible bringing their children to ask the Lord Jesus to pray for them to get the top score in the province or the country. Jesus does not do that, you won't find it in the Bible. Even worse, asking the Lord Jesus to pray for their business to make them the richest person in the world, so they can donate a lot of money. There is no such thing in the Bible.
What exactly are the heavenly blessings, the spiritual blessings that Jesus speaks of? Today, we need to know that Chinese Mingding Destiny treats the word of God with utmost rigor. We know that our understanding today is still not that deep, and we are still in the process of constant growth. As we have walked step by step, we have found that what is described in the Bible differs greatly from what Christians say today. Don't think that Christians who have believed in the Lord for many years have a very deep understanding of God's word, it's hard to say.
A few days ago, I met a Christian whom I had ministered to many years ago, casting out demons for him. He was a Taekwondo master, and when I cast out demons for him a few years ago, the demons manifested very powerfully. At that time, he was doing monkey boxing in the lobby of my office, and he did it so beautifully that I thought his movements were simply too divine. The result was that the demon was manifested in him, coming over to hit me. As a result, he was bounced away by an invisible force, and he fell heavily to the ground. I was worried that he would be injured.
At that time, the demons in him were not completely cast out, so the demon deceived him, leading him to a church that did not cast out demons. After some years, I still missed this brother very much, so I contacted him by phone, and he shared some of the paths he had walked over the years. A few days ago, he changed to another church. Why? Because a very good brother of his died of cancer, and the church did not provide any pastoral care or concern for his brother, so he thought of me. He was very sad when he said these words.
When people have demons, nothing they do prospers. He is not an ordinary person; he is a senior engineer, and his social status in his city is relatively high. However, the projects he undertakes always go wrong. I gave him a prophecy that all his projects were like this, and he said that was really the case in the past.
I asked him what salvation is. The Bible mentions salvation again and again, but many people understand it as going to heaven after death. Is going to heaven after death the meaning of salvation in the Bible? This is something that can really be examined carefully. Going to heaven after death is also very interesting. I have never known whether you or I will go to heaven after death, we have never been there.
Some people like to ask me such questions, such as someone asking: Out of a thousand people, will one go to heaven and nine hundred and ninety-nine go to hell, or will nine hundred and ninety-nine go to heaven and one go to hell? I can only tell you that I don't know, there is no way to measure this.
Some Christians, after they die, find themselves being taken to hell, with a horse-faced demon on the right and an ox-headed demon on the left, surrounded by all kinds of monsters. They are puzzled as to why they came here. Shouldn't they be going to heaven? It's too late to regret it at that time. Where is the problem? The problem is that you can't be sure, and I can't be sure either. There is a theory that once saved, always saved, but this sounds strange, and they have great confusion about salvation.
But I have an answer that I can discuss with everyone. After you listen to it, see if it is right or not. Our God is the God of the living. If you can't figure things out when you are alive, you will be even more confused after you die. If you are weak and powerless when you are alive, it is also very absurd to pray to a dead person to bless your whole family. This is what idolaters do.
Seeing that this brother was miserable, I shared with him that the most crucial thing in pastoring is salvation. Salvation is to let us live out God's glorious image. This sounds very powerful, and it is linked to our lives. If we live out God's glorious image when we are alive, that is truly a wonderful thing!
Where will people go in the future? Even if you are a Christian, if you are like a demon when you are alive, you will go to the demons; if you are like Jesus when you are alive, you will go to Jesus. Genesis chapter 5 clearly states that so-and-so lived for so many years and then died, only Enoch walked with God. Walking with God means that the thoughts, concepts, and visions inside are the same as God's.
How can we walk with God? Jesus Christ clearly revealed the image of the Father. We should imitate His example and do what Jesus did, that is the key. If you do what Jesus does not do, and you do not do what Jesus does, is that called walking with God? We should do well what Jesus did, and we can do what Jesus did not do or not.
Some people often get confused when reading the Bible. For example, Jesus said: These signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons. The first thing is to drive out demons. Jesus also said another sentence: I do not know you. Some people say: Lord! I am driving out demons in your name! These people distort the word of God, thinking that God will recognize them if they drive out demons. That's not how it works. They distort the words of the Bible to such an extent, how can they walk with God?
If we read further, we will find that they have no love in them, even if they drive out demons, they do not have God's glorious image. We must restore the glorious image of God when He created us, this is very important, because God is love. Some people regard driving out demons as a profession, then I can only say that he is a professional demon exorcist. Is this the glorious image of God? This is part of it, but if there is no love inside, everything else is nonsense.
I was praying for a sister whose child had a brain tumor and had two craniotomies. The doctor told her to take the child home. She guarded the child, and the child vomited whatever he ate, which was very hard. Later, I learned that she had been a believer for many years! I wanted to ask, do we have the glorious image of Jesus Christ in us? I did not see it in her.
If this child went to Jesus, Jesus Christ would heal this child, and there would be no need for craniotomy or so much trouble, because Jesus Christ is the greatest doctor. Just looking at the matter of seeing a doctor, there is a lot of garbage in Christians, because they do not have heavenly spiritual blessings, which is very troublesome.
Before, we talked about not being afraid or alarmed. Can a child who has had a craniotomy not be afraid or alarmed? Why are we not afraid or alarmed? Because God helps us. If God can help us, who can stand against us? But we must be soldiers in God's army. We belong to God, not nominal Christians but true disciples of Jesus Christ.
If we observe carefully, we will find that many Christians do not have blessings. Let alone blessings, it would be good if they did not have curses. Let us see if we really have blessings, which cannot be seen by fortune telling. When I was a child, my mother liked to find people to tell fortunes, and some people could even figure out a lot of things. There were five children in our family, and the fortune teller pointed at me and said that this child would have blessings in the future. What is blessing? It turns out that blessing is the spiritual blessing bestowed by God from heaven.
If we only look at that face, we cannot do anything. It is just what the fortune teller says, and it is not actionable. Then I will talk about this actionable blessing. Chinese Mingding Destiny will really show the light of God's word and let us know that God's word is feasible. Then we will truly receive the heavenly spiritual blessings.
Will we suffer losses if we let everyone give offerings? That is a blessing! Letting you be a disciple of Jesus is a blessing! I let you serve at a cost, that is a blessing. Because we understand what blessing is, and we also understand what we need to do to get this blessing, we need to carefully keep and follow God's word.
Therefore, I will tell everyone what I have researched in the Bible. Blessing is an endless research topic. Let's first talk about heavenly spiritual blessings. The effectiveness of our lives is closely related to heavenly spiritual blessings. Everyone can check the Bible to see if it is true or not. Some people question whether we can live a good life if we follow you to believe in the Lord. I am thinking, if you don't follow us to believe in the Lord and don't implement it according to the Bible, how can you live a good life?
Recently, we had a 36-hour long prayer meeting. I followed it in the group and saw all kinds of problems from everyone. This is all caused by not carefully keeping and following God's word. This is not a blessing. I am determined to do one thing. Whether you listen or believe is your business.
But I want to tell you that spiritual blessing is like this. From now on, turn back to God, the kingdom of heaven is near, and we must all repent. The path we took in the past was wrong. Today, we must take a blessed path. We must know that the blessed path is all at our feet. Whether you want to take it or not is your business!
Scripture
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, which is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. (Ephesians 1:3-14)
Prayer
Lord, you have predestined us to be adopted as sons, and you are constantly shaping us so that we can imitate the Lord Jesus, grow to adulthood, and have the fullness of Jesus Christ! Lord, you gave us these graces early on, and your abundant graces fall on every brother and sister!
Lord, I ask you to open our minds and illuminate the eyes of our hearts among us, so that we may truly know what hope is in your calling of us! Let us know what abundant glory there is in the inheritance you have received in the saints! And let us know how great your power is to us who believe!
Let me see the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead come upon us, so that we can build your glorious church with your great power. May your spirit fill the church, may your power be manifested, and may your glory be praised among us!
Lord, be the Lord of the church today, reign and take the first place among us, lead us to victory, and constantly trample on the devil and the enemy, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
Build a Victorious and Glorious Church According To God's Revelation
The theme of Ephesians is to build a glorious church, and God's glorious church is the glorious body of Jesus Christ. The scriptures we read today are also not divorced from this theme. To read the Bible, you must read the theme, and you cannot take it out of context, otherwise it will be difficult for you to understand God's meaning. If you are a pastor and you cannot understand Ephesians, it will be difficult for you to move forward.
This passage says that God has given us all kinds of spiritual blessings in Jesus Christ. Why are there no blessings in some brothers and sisters' churches? Because your church is not in Jesus Christ. Not all churches are in Jesus Christ. It is easy to hang a church sign, it can be hung in 5 minutes, but is this really a church? Not necessarily.
The Bible often says this: in Jesus Christ, which means in the body of Jesus Christ. Ephesians says that the church is the body of Jesus Christ:
And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. (Ephesians 1:22-23)
This is the definition of the church! You are in the church, but are you really in Jesus Christ? After casting out demons many times, I found that Christians are the easiest to attract demons. Don't be afraid when everyone hears about attracting demons! When Jesus Christ first came out to minister, he fasted and prayed in the wilderness for forty days. After the prayer, he did not see the glory of God, but saw the devil Satan (see Matthew 4:1-11).
If we encounter this, wouldn't we be confused? After fasting and praying, we see the devil Satan, isn't this fatal? After believing in the Lord, we attract demons, isn't this fatal! Why is this so? Why did God arrange it this way?
Once, a person made a lot of trouble in the church because her daughter followed me to believe in the Lord, and she sat on the ground and acted shamelessly. I tried to persuade her to sit down and discuss it properly. She finally agreed to talk. The reason why she opposed it was because of her third uncle. After her third uncle believed in the Lord, he lived an unusually unlucky life. Why is this? Because her third uncle was not victorious in the spirit, so he was bullied by the devil!
In the Book of Exodus, God brought the Israelites out of Egypt, but most of them died in the wilderness! Why is this? This is what they did when they attracted demons. If you want to follow God, you will definitely encounter some resistance. The kingdom of heaven must be entered by effort. If you want to believe in the Lord and still want to work and get off work to live a normal life, it is still a bit difficult for you to be victorious!
Victory requires a bit of personality, and you need to have the vigor of Joshua and Caleb. There are giants in front, so how can you enter the promised land? In fact, there are bound to be giants before all victories. If you are afraid of giants, want to save your life, and do not want to pay the price to follow the Lord, then you will lose your life!
After the Israelites attracted demons, they were afraid in their hearts, did not trust God, and were killed by God in the wilderness. Can you understand this? I specifically used the word killed. In fact, the devil cannot kill us, it is God who kills us. Doesn't the Bible say so? We should fear God!
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28)
The theme of Ephesians is to build God's glorious church. Without God's glory, the church is out of the question. If we find that it is not a church, then what are you doing there? Is attending Sunday service and worship to complete a religious ritual? Religious rituals cannot solve the problem! Today, we must return to the Bible to see how God wants us to build a glorious church, which is to build according to God's word!
The Old Testament revealed twice about how to build a church: once when Moses built the tabernacle, and once when David and Solomon built the temple. The Bible says that they were built according to God's revelation. Building a church requires God's revelation, otherwise how can God's great power fill it? That is to say, building a church must have the appearance of Jesus Christ in order to have God's great power and let us be resurrected from the dead! Just having the title of pastor is really nonsense, isn't this just suffering?
I used to talk nonsense, and the ending was really sad! Later, I repented deeply. I used to think that I was the modern Job, but I was not. It turns out that not only Christians attract demons, but pastors attract even more demons! But if you want to overcome demons and want to be victorious, you must build the church according to God's word!
Only By Building The Church Can We Receive Spiritual Blessings
Some people often ask me: Since God created all things and made them beautiful in their time, why did he create the devil? Creating the devil also becomes beautiful in its time. In fact, the devil plays a very important role in the church. Without the devil, where would victory come from?
The Jesus we believe in is already the head of everything in the church. The church is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. He has given us all kinds of spiritual blessings. However, many churches do not talk about spiritual blessings. Many people want to learn from me how to build a church, but many things have not been figured out.
For example, pastors are afraid of church leaders and afraid of members because they do not promote according to spiritual blessings. I know a friend, what does their group do? Their group is to introduce people to each other. I want to tell those who come to church to find a partner, you can forget it! You can't find a partner in the church, but you can find heavenly spiritual blessings! This is in the body of Jesus Christ, and this is also the main axis of our Chinese Mingding Destiny, which is to build a holy, united, glorious, truth-keeping, and victorious church. This is our destiny! Only by building the church can we receive blessings!
Worldly blessings are actually useless. You are busy and running around in this world to support your family, it is really desperate! In fact, if you see through it, you will find that you are all running into the coffin! I am really telling you the truth, you are all running into the coffin! Where can you run to? If you are lucky, you will get a crystal coffin; if you are unlucky, you will get a wooden coffin. But whether it is a crystal coffin or a wooden coffin, you are all running into the coffin!
If you still don't understand, then you can continue running. There are many people, like my mother, who are over eighty years old and still haven't figured it out. The soil has been buried to her neck, and she has gotten Alzheimer's disease, but she is still thinking about making money! The other day, she was still planning how to get a bucket, get some charcoal, and make roasted sweet potatoes. I asked her why she wanted to make roasted sweet potatoes, and she said I want to make money!
People's treasures are really where their hearts are! Do you know that our God has already given us all kinds of spiritual blessings in Jesus Christ? If you don't know that there are spiritual blessings, and you always see and think about things like roasted sweet potatoes and making money, then you will not be blessed! My mother gets excited when she thinks about making money in the past. But she didn't make any money. She kept thinking about making money, but she didn't make any, which is not having blessings!
To lay a good spiritual foundation in Jesus Christ, we will definitely see all kinds of spiritual blessings given by God in heaven! At our 36-hour continuous prayer meeting, many people were released, and we really saw the power of Jesus' resurrection from the dead manifested among us. Why can we see it? This is because we are really in Jesus Christ, that is, we are really building according to God's word, we are really doing it seriously, determined to build a victorious church, determined to offer our lives and dedicate them to Jesus Christ!
Many people are just playing fake, saying good things when they don't pay the price, but they choke when they pay the price. I said these people are two-cent teapots, they just have good mouths. A friend of mine told me a joke: There was a pastor, there was a tiger next to their village, and it ate people every day.
The pastor discussed with the tiger: You can't eat the Christians in our church! The tiger agreed: Okay, I won't eat them! As a result, the tiger ate their members the next day. The pastor found the tiger and questioned it for violating the agreement. The tiger said: Oh, pastor, I'm really sorry, I ate it and ate it, and I only knew they were Christians when I ate their mouths!
To get out of just using your mouth and acting fake. Some time ago, I asked someone to pastor her mother, and she said: Then I can't affect my own life because of pastoring my mother, right? Really selfish! Whether you follow Eastern culture or Western culture, this is not God's word! Following the worldly culture and not being willing to pay the price for God is playing fake. Can our brothers and sisters begin to offer and pay the price for God? Even if it affects our lives, we will not hesitate! How is it possible not to receive heavenly spiritual blessings?
Sanctification Through the Holy Spirit
What exactly is the heavenly blessing? Firstly, it enables us to be holy and blameless before Him. To restore God's glorious image in us, we must first pursue holiness and blamelessness. Becoming a good person through self-effort does not make you holy and blameless; rather, it is by dealing with the bad habits within us that we can become holy and without blemish. It is the Holy Spirit who sanctifies us.
Some may ask, how does the Holy Spirit sanctify us? Why must it be in Jesus Christ? Why do relationships between people generate so many problems? It is because they cannot be sanctified. To build the church, we must become unified in Jesus Christ, building God's glorious church together with one heart and mind, thus becoming holy.
If we are filled with the knowledge of good and evil, a bunch of garbage, we cannot be unified. Many feel they have no issues, but when they interact with others, their flaws are revealed. These flaws can then be dealt with. Hidden things are difficult to deal with, but dealing with them can make us holy and blameless.
Some run away when problems are revealed, and thus can never become holy or restore God's glorious image. This is the first blessing. As you begin to build God's glorious church, your flaws will be revealed one by one, and God will enable you to deal with these issues through the Holy Spirit, and then you will become holy.
Predestined for Adoption as Sons
The following passage:
He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. (Ephesians 1:5-6)
The second blessing is that God predestined us for adoption as sons. This is very important. Today's generation is about who your father is; our Heavenly Father is the most powerful. He predestined us through Jesus Christ for adoption as sons, sanctifying us, dealing with us step by step, so that we may be full of the stature of Jesus Christ. Consider carefully, what kind of person is like the Son of God? What kind of person truly receives the adoption as sons through Jesus Christ? They must be like Jesus.
For example, if you see a poor person and give them money, is that what Jesus Christ did? Giving them money is useless, because they have a curse of poverty on them. We should break the curse of poverty off them, and lead them to keep and follow God's word, bringing them from curse into the spiritual blessings in Jesus Christ. That is the key to solving the problem; that is receiving the adoption as sons through Jesus Christ.
If you do not do what Jesus did, but do a bunch of things Jesus did not do, that is not receiving the adoption as sons through Jesus Christ. Some only want to be obedient Christians, only wanting to sweep floors in heaven, but there is no floor-sweeping in heaven. Heaven is full of those who receive the adoption as sons through Jesus Christ. Do not lower God's standards. God is not shaping loser Christians; God is shaping Christians who receive the adoption as sons through Jesus Christ.
We should imitate Jesus Christ. As Jesus Christ ministered in this world, so should we minister. As Jesus Christ proclaimed God's word in this world, so should we proclaim God's word. To the praise of his glorious grace, means that while we are alive, we can live out the glorious image of Jesus Christ, so that when people see us, they will know it is God's glorious grace.
What we have received freely is all God's work in us. This grace is given to us in the One He loves. God is a very generous God, giving us His glorious grace, so that we can live out a glorious life through Him, so that His glorious grace may be praised, and we will praise God.
If you are healed in our midst, you will say: Wow! This is God's glorious grace! That is called letting God's glorious grace be praised! Thankfully, God is constantly working in this world, and there is a group of people who can manifest God's glory, allowing us to be healed here. Through Jesus Christ, we are redeemed by the precious blood of the beloved Son, so that our transgressions may be forgiven.
Predestination brings great trouble to many. God did not predestine me to be a son; I am not predestined by God, many say. Then what are you? If God did not predestine you for adoption, did God predestine you to be a vessel of wrath or a vessel of glory? This can be interpreted in many ways; it depends on whether you believe.
Faith is the Foundation for Receiving Blessings
In the book of Numbers, God brought the Israelites out of Egypt. Did He predestine them to inherit the Promised Land? Yes, God never predestined them to die in the wilderness. Our God has abundant grace, but the Israelites did not believe God, and because of their unbelief, they died in the wilderness, becoming objects of God's wrath. It was not God's predestination that was the problem; God predestined them to enter the Promised Land, but they did not enter. God predestined them for adoption as sons, but they did not receive it because they did not believe God's promise; they were filled with fear.
They did not fear God and wanted to stone Moses, Joshua, and Caleb. Like many Christians today, they are not skilled at casting out demons, but they are very skilled at casting out pastors; they are capable of anything. It was like that generation; it was not that God did not predestine them to inherit the Promised Land, but they themselves abandoned God's Promised Land. I say again to our brothers and sisters, just believe that God predestined you for adoption as sons, believe that God has chosen us. This is my faith.
Chinese Mingding Destiny is all based on the foundation of faith. How can we know if God has chosen or predestined us? But we can believe that God has chosen us and predestined us! Follow Jesus Christ closely, so that His glory can be praised through us in this world, so that His glorious grace can be praised because we live out the likeness of God's Son.
This is not ordinary grace; this is bought with the precious blood of Jesus Christ. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. That is to say, God desires that everyone have the image of His Son Jesus Christ, but how many value this heavenly spiritual blessing?
Some value work more than life, more than God, and there are many such people. I am not asking you to believe in God to become a religious fanatic; I am asking you to receive a heavenly spiritual blessing, so that you can do your work, and do it better. God does all things according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Christ. God never has evil thoughts toward us; all are given to us abundantly with all wisdom and understanding.
Brothers and sisters, if you are healed in our midst, that is God's grace, not my merit. It is the precious blood of Jesus Christ, not my work, but I have become a vessel for God to manifest His grace, a vessel to transmit God's blessing. Today, we must all pursue the adoption as sons, which is the core of Chinese Mingding Destiny. I wrote a book called Healing and Deliverance Like Jesus, healing those who are sick and releasing those who are captive like Jesus.
We need to see that you are the one who releases the captives, releases the oppressed! You are the one who lays hands on the sick, and they are healed! You are the one who is like Jesus Christ! We need to see ourselves accomplishing this wonderful grace, so that God's glorious grace may be praised.
Read the Bible not for others, but for yourself. This grace is given to us abundantly. If you say, You have this gift, but I don't! In fact, it is given abundantly to everyone. Gifts are a great lie and myth. You are not a Chinese teacher, but can't you speak Chinese? Because I am not an evangelist, I will not evangelize; these are all lies.
In the church of Jesus Christ, these myths of faith must be broken down one by one. The truth revealed by God in the Bible must be restored. This is our calling, our Mingding Destiny, and we must press on no matter how difficult it is. There is no impassable Flaming Mountain. Even in the face of swords and rain of arrows, there is nothing to fear, because God will be with us.
God Reveals to Us the Mystery of His Will
The most wonderful blessing is that we know the mystery of His will! The Bible says:
[God] made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. (Ephesians 1:9-12)
God makes known to us the mystery of His will. Does He need to tell us? Does He need to consult with us? Does He need to let us know the mystery of His will? God does not need to, but He loves us, so according to His good pleasure, He lets us know how things will be accomplished in the future.
How will it be accomplished? It is in the book of Revelation. In the future, the church will become the New Jerusalem, descending from heaven. We will be united with God, the tabernacle of God will be with mankind, we will be in perfect unity with God, and we will represent God in managing all things on earth. This was God's beautiful purpose when He created us.
I throw a bucket of cold water on those who have worldly dreams. If we do not understand what will happen in the future, we will not feel that building God's glorious church is a very glorious Mingding Destiny. Some think of pursuing a doctorate, but they get depressed while doing it. After deliverance, they have many worldly dreams again. Then you can slowly go your way.
People do not know the future and keep pursuing worldly dreams, and in the end, it is just a coffin. No matter what you do in this world, you must desire to live out the glorious image of Jesus Christ, and you must know that our pursuit today is not for a coffin, but for unification in Jesus Christ. It is such a wonderful thing to be able to live out God's glorious likeness while we are in this world!
Some brothers and sisters have a religious spirit, and their words are always religious, which is not very useful. Today, we serve diligently on earth, and this diligent service will be with us forever, until we are unified in Jesus Christ, and we restore to a state of perfect unity with God, which is very enjoyable.
Conclusion
We must desire to be a blessing to many, to bless others, to release the captives and the oppressed. We must be full of the likeness of Jesus Christ and dedicate ourselves completely to God. We must all know that the power of God's resurrection is in us, which is a great grace. You see all kinds of diseases being healed in our midst, and impossible things being accomplished one after another, which is a heavenly spiritual blessing. If you pursue heavenly spiritual blessings, you will strive to pursue and grow to the full stature of Jesus Christ. I also wrote a book called Striving to Perfection, which is a Bible study of the book of Hebrews.
We must inherit an inheritance in Jesus Christ! We are people who have an inheritance, people who inherit the Promised Land! It is not that we have nothing; we are wealthy people. The Holy Spirit is the guarantee of our inheritance in Jesus Christ, in the New Jerusalem, and in the church, which is a spiritual blessing. If we receive this spiritual blessing, what else do we need? What else can't we do? In our dictionary, nothing is impossible, because we have all kinds of heavenly spiritual blessings.
The Apostle Paul and Jesus speak with one voice. God will build His church on the rock, and God will give us the keys of the kingdom of heaven. What we bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and what we release on earth will be released in heaven, and the powers of hell will be trampled on. God's glory will be manifested through us and will be praised.
If your desire is that God predestined you for adoption as sons, you do not need to prove it with anything; you receive God's grace by faith! Let us completely shatter our worldly dreams, and let the worldly dreams, the lies of the devil, and the logic system of this world be completely broken! Let us be strengthened again and become a blessed person in Jesus Christ, receiving all kinds of heavenly spiritual blessings!
May God bless everyone!
