【Sermon】Breaking Worldly Values 05: Consider Everything as Dung, Only to Gain Jesus Christ as the Supreme Treasure

2019-08-25 21,018 Breaking Down Worldly Values Series Jesus Christ Liberation Logical System The Great Commission Empowerment Resurrection

Introduction

Over the past few days, I have been particularly following a case. A sister whose eyesight had become entirely blurred had been spending her days in tears for the past two months. Why? Because her extended family, including her parents, were facing numerous troubles – car accidents, financial losses, just a lot of problems. Her father had pressured her to take out high-interest loans, and she actually borrowed 200,000 yuan for him.

But with her father's approach, could 200,000 yuan be enough? It all went down the drain. So, she worked frantically every month to repay the high-interest debt. Not only that, but her sister also needed to borrow high-interest loans. The whole family was in dire straits. In this situation, this sister suddenly lost her vision, her eyes only seeing a blur.

Hearing this, I felt deeply saddened. Let me share the outcome of ministering to her first, so you don't worry along with me. Thankfully, in these three or four days of ministry, she has experienced tremendous recovery and can at least see the outlines of things. What exactly was the problem? The root of the problem is the worldly logic system.

A worldly logic system manipulates how we see things. What makes people encounter such situations? It's the evil spirits behind it. Her family had the soil for evil spirits to operate in, and then the evil spirits corrupted the family. What formed this soil was the worldly logic system. The worldly system blinds people, making them unable to see what life is about. Now, let me share my research findings with you. The answer to the problem is the topic I want to share: Count all things as dung, so that I may gain Christ. This statement is from the Bible.

As our sister continuously dismantled the worldly logic system, step by step, her vision began to recover. I want to convey a concept to everyone: anything that cannot solve problems is useless, and that’s like the worldly logic system. It not only creates problems for us but also fails to help us solve them.

Take this sister, for example. She cries all day, feeling miserable when she recalls past experiences, crying profusely. What's the use? Useless, what remains is despair. The misfortunes her family encountered all came from the spiritual forces of darkness. As ordinary people say, encountering bad luck, even drinking cold water can cause problems.

Why do we say so that I may gain Christ? Because gaining Christ means gaining the power of the spiritual world, which can strike down the devil, our enemy. Later, I began to teach her to come out of these difficult and entangled situations. But after coming out, what should we do? Not become numb, but bring our families into blessing. This is crucial.

A few days ago, I was thinking about the word dung and count all things as dung. What exactly does all things refer to? While pondering, I thought about how my mother came out of Alzheimer's. My mother shared something with me, saying, The devil is so wicked, to what extent? It made her eyes see feces as delicious Jiangmi Tiao.

You might not know what Jiangmi Tiao is. You can understand it as a small twisted fried dough stick, about the size of a finger, and the devil made her eat it. Did she eat it or not? It's unclear, but the devil indeed made her see feces as Jiangmi Tiao.

This is quite interesting. In a state of Alzheimer's, what people see is not the same as what is originally there. If we observe things with a worldly system, do we often see feces as Jiangmi Tiao as well? Very likely.

But if we carefully consider the problems faced by our brothers and sisters, indeed, that is exactly what is happening. Is it feces or Jiangmi Tiao? It depends on the difference in the logic system of viewing the world. We often think something is important, but it may not be. We often think something is a treasure, but it may not be. What we see things as is related to our perspective.

Behind our perspective is our logic system. Our internal logic system is basically the key to being trapped and bound. Some time ago, a girl developed severe mental illness. She found us online, and we have healed many people with mental illnesses. Her mental illness was also truly healed.

Later, a classmate of her sister, who was also constantly on the verge of death, threatening to jump off buildings, worried her parents sick. Hearing about this, she also sought the help of my co-worker. Her parents were quite interesting, hesitating whether to find my co-worker because there was a very good investment opportunity in Guangxi. After struggling, they still felt that treating their child was more important, so they brought their child to my co-worker. My co-worker ministered to her, and the child was truly healed.

People like us are hard to deceive because we have our own way of seeing things. But many worldly people use the worldly system to make judgments and also have their own set of things. During this ministry, the Guangxi investment issue was discussed, and it was recently discovered that 700,000 yuan was gone, all swindled away. In fact, we had told her at the time that it might be a scam, reminding her to be careful, but she wouldn't listen. If a person is foolish inside, it's hard not to be deceived.

On one hand, I want to help everyone solve your problems, and on the other hand, I want to lead everyone to solve other people's problems and become a blessing to others. What exactly should we do? The most important thing is to clear the wrong concepts in our minds. If these wrong concepts are not cleared, then these people are destined for misfortune.

Every Sunday service, we recite our mission. Why do we recite our mission? We hope to become people with a mission. Don't become another character, written as the character for corpse (尸) with rice (米) underneath. A person either has a mission or a shit mission (屎命). Can you hear the difference? If not, both have the same pronunciation, but the results are vastly different.

The Chinese invented characters in a very interesting way. One day, I wrote the word bian (便, feces) on the whiteboard. I discovered that this character is very similar to the shi (使) in mission, only missing a horizontal stroke, like lacking a Jiangmi Tiao. But a feces destiny and a great mission are worlds apart.

We need to change our perspective. Brothers and sisters, think about why you encounter so many things and come to church. It's because you originally filled your minds with a worldly logic system, which must be dismantled. Your perspective leads you to see things wrongly, just like seeing feces as Jiangmi Tiao, considering the things you pursue in life as treasures, but treating Jesus Christ as garbage. Can such people not encounter problems? When their children develop mental illnesses, they think of God.

Whether we are willing to change our value system is crucial. Let's read a passage of scripture:

Scripture

But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ (Philippians 3:7-8).

Prayer

Lord Jesus, please work in us, change the way we see things. Lord, open our eyes among us, let us change our perspective, let us truly open our spiritual eyes to know you, let us know Jesus Christ, and also know the great power of His resurrection from the dead, and know that in this world, walking with you will surely gain the promises and hopes you have prepared for us in eternity.

Open our minds today, let us know what is treasure, let us know what is dung. Let us know that you are the pursuit of our lives. In Jesus Christ's name, Amen!

What You Value Is What You Will Gain

What people consider a treasure, or what they value, is what they will ultimately gain. What you value is what you consider valuable, which is called values. What you consider valuable is what you will pursue.

About ten years ago, when I was still working, I ministered to some Chinese students in schools. They all had their own problems. Among them was a Christian sister who followed me in leading Bible studies and was very enthusiastic in her service, but she was in a relatively chaotic state inside, to the point that she struggled with everything she did.

In that situation, she considered marrying a local Singaporean to be very precious. She felt that marrying a local Singaporean would solve her life's problems. At the time, there was indeed a local Singaporean boy, also a Christian and a member of one of Singapore's largest churches, who was pursuing her.

She was very thankful to God, thinking this was the white horse prince God had prepared for her. Many years have passed, and now she has become a mother of three, but at the beginning of this year, she developed depression, and it was severe. After developing depression, her husband said something to her that was quite saddening: We can't help you; you have to help yourself.

Not long ago, I briefly visited her home and found the house to be filthy. Later, I helped her clean up a corner and asked her to clean other places in the same way. When her husband came home in the evening, he got angry with her and picked up all the garbage I had thrown away. What kind of person is that? To consider garbage a treasure? It would be hard to sell that garbage for a few tens of dollars.

As people live, they either become old maids or old men and continue to live. Why do people end up in such situations? Because their perspective at the time determined the future development of things. That is, how you see things today determines what you will experience in the future. If you experience a lot of bad luck, I'll give you two words: You deserve it. Who told you to take worldly things so seriously?

For example, the sister I recently ministered to, her eyesight is blurred. How old is she? Not even thirty years old. Around thirty years old and she's like this. Why? Isn't she asking for it herself? The root of the problem is really herself. Why do I earnestly tell you to count all things as dung, so that I may gain Christ? Because Jesus Christ is truly the treasure, and the ten thousands of things on earth are truly dung.

What people consider precious in this life is what they will live out. If you consider all things as dung, you will only gain Christ, and you will live out the glorious image of God. If you consider all things as treasures, then just deal with whatever happens to you. So, you must know what is a treasure. What you value is what you will end up with, which means you must understand what is in your head.

In ministry, I like to explore and research problems. After solving a problem, I will understand what the problem was originally. I increasingly find that the problems of the brothers and sisters who come to church today are what is in their heads.

A young man developed depression and bought antidepressants from the pharmacy himself. He even told his mother, You have been brainwashed by these people. Because his mother talked to him about the power of Jesus Christ, he wouldn't listen. I wondered, why wouldn't people clear the garbage in their heads that has already caused them so much trouble? Instead, they call it brainwashing.

It's difficult to bear not washing your hair for two days, let alone three. How smelly would it be if you didn't wash your hair for years? The garbage in your head is not a mission but a shit mission, and the result is a foul smell. What people consider a treasure is a matter of perspective. As for me, I count all things as dung, so that I may gain Christ.

Why? Because I know that Jesus Christ is the answer to all our problems in life. Moreover, Jesus Christ is also the answer to gaining eternal life. I don't think that people just live and die and end up as fertilizer. I think people should live out the glorious image of God until they return to God and gain eternal life.

Of course, what people believe is their own choice. If you feel like don't talk about eternal life, living well in this life is the most important thing, then I can't help it. And I must pour cold water on you, you haven't even lived this life well. What do you do when your child develops depression? In the end, you still have to come and find me. There are too many such things, all because of the filth in the head. You may ask, what does this have to do with the filth in the head? In spiritual matters, everything is related.

Why do I consider Jesus Christ a treasure? Because I know the great power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead. Think about it, if a person can be resurrected from the dead, what else is impossible? Jesus Christ was crucified, died, and buried in a tomb. On the third day, He rose from the dead. A person like Jesus Christ, who has the power of resurrection from the dead and releases the power of God to solve many people's problems, I ask you, what problems does such a person have? No problems.

Some say that people have to have money to live, but since Jesus Christ is able to rise from the dead, is money still a problem? Moreover, if you don't have the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead, one disease can wipe out half of your savings, two diseases can leave you penniless, and three diseases can bankrupt you. Hospitals are very expensive.

A short video I saw was very interesting. A person got off the plane, took a taxi, and said he was rich, wanting to go to the most expensive place in Beijing. The taxi driver took him to the hospital, because that is the most expensive place in the city. You can't afford to get sick at all. There is nothing worse than being sick, and there is nothing worse than being broke.

Knowing the Power of Jesus Christ's Resurrection

I want to tell everyone why I gain Christ as treasure? Why do I forsake all things and count them as dung? Because the Bible clearly writes it, and this is consistent with my own beliefs:

But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ. (Philippians 3:7-8)

What I used to think was beneficial to me, I now consider it a loss because of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ can let us know His power from resurrection, which is very important.

I often ask people why they have so many children. They answer it's for old age, worrying that no one will take care of them after they get old. That's hard to say. My mother is lucky to have a son like me who can earn money and has the power of Jesus Christ. My mother is doing very well now. Two years ago, she was confused because she had Alzheimer's.

My mother is fine now, more sober than ever, talking and chatting with us, the content is clear. I solved it, relying on the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead. Yesterday, I took her to buy a massager, wanting to honor the elderly. After coming out of the store, my mother jokingly said, If I don't spend money on her, who will spend money on her? This is a very skillful saying.

Knowing the great power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead, I know that this is the answer to all problems. If it weren't for Jesus Christ, can you imagine in what situation I would be living today? Then I would be miserable. My mother would be defecating in bed and in her pants, and my brothers and sisters and I would have to take care of her together. But now there's no need, because of Jesus Christ, such problems are gone.

A classmate of mine shared with me during a meal that he had taken care of two paralyzed elderly people, his parents, for the past seven years. After seven years, he finally sent them off. As a result, he developed a whole body of illnesses from taking care of the elderly. His shoulders were sore and ached every day. Fortunately, I have Jesus Christ as treasure, and I like to bless people wherever I go. I was waiting for a suitable opportunity to bless him. During the meal, he really told me about his illness and how painful it was.

I thank my God for letting me know Jesus Christ and knowing His power from the resurrection that allows me to live with dignity today and allows my mother to know Jesus Christ through me and experience the power of Jesus Christ, coming out of Alzheimer's, being incontinent, and being in a confused state.

How did my mother get better? Because I cast out one by one the demons of Alzheimer's from her until now she is well. In fact, people's problems are spiritual problems, but people just don't know it. How can I not regard Jesus Christ as treasure? Seeing my mother's recovery, my heart is full of gratitude. I said, God, I am willing to serve you all my life. You are my Lord, you are everything to me, my life is in your hands. May you greatly use me so that I can become a blessing to many people.

Later, after eating with this classmate, I shook his hand and grabbed his shoulder, and I left without praying for him. The next day, he sent me a message saying, You are really something, you are really amazing! Do you know? When I was eating with you, my shoulder was hurting so badly that it was about to fall off. When you grabbed my shoulder before leaving, it got better!

God, you are so divine! That is my God, because I serve God, serve Jesus Christ, so that the glory of Jesus Christ is manifested throughout the earth through me. I hope that those of you who listen to my nagging can agree with this sentence: Count all things as dung, so that I may gain Christ.

Why are so many people being scammed? This one scammed 700,000, that one scammed 600,000. How many 700,000 do people have in their lifetime? The feeling after being scammed is really uncomfortable. I feel uncomfortable just putting myself in their shoes. Although I count all things as dung, so that I may gain Christ, but if someone scammed me out of 700,000, I would be very distressed. It's all hard-earned money.

But then again, why are people so easily scammed? Isn't it because their heads are full of garbage? A single slip can cause eternal regret. No need for eternal regret, one ancient is enough. There is an online investment project that looks pretty good, and there are even some government documents. Some brothers and sisters immediately believe it and transfer 700,000 to them. From then on, it's like a meat bun hitting a dog, never returning.

What's the reason? It's because we are not clear about the essence of things. But what exactly is the essence of the problem? There was a man named Pilate who was going to crucify Jesus Christ. At that time, he was thinking, What is truth? We must also ask ourselves, why are we being scammed so badly? Because we do not know the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead, because we treat the world's dung as treasure, and as a result, we live like this.

Many of our families are basically only children. The parents of the first generation of only children are now in their 60s. What can you expect? Can you expect your children to support you in your old age? They can't afford it. Can you count on the hospital? Hospitals count on making money from you. How much money do you have to spend on them? Seriously ask yourself this question. I'm not trying to brainwash you. I want to clear the garbage in your head.

Some time ago, I ministered to a mother and daughter. The child was in Canada, and the mother was in China. I was wondering, how can she take care of her? Even if the child is by your side, she has the heart but doesn't have the strength! Either she takes care of you and can't work, or she works and can't take care of you. Even if she's by your side, what can she do? Not much.

So, what is the answer to the problem? The answer is that Jesus Christ is the treasure of our lives. If you can walk and move, and a prayer heals you when you are sick, who else do you need? What you need most is Jesus Christ and the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead! If we gain the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead, and God is clearly with us, and many people are healed through our ministry, how can we ourselves become a problem?

Only by Gaining Jesus Christ as the Supreme Treasure

Brothers and sisters, you must begin to have a clear understanding of the essence of the problem. Do not think I am lecturing; I truly believe this. I am not deceiving you either; I genuinely regard Jesus Christ as the treasure of my life. As a result, you can see the manifestation of God's power in many things; that is my treasure.

Why do some people find it so difficult to preach the gospel? Because they are not preaching the true gospel. The gospel I preach is the true gospel. The power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead is clearly manifested in us because we truly know God according to His Word. We never distort God's Word; we believe whatever God says. Through our hands, how many people with depression have been healed from despair? Why do people still not grasp it tightly?

Among us, there is a sister whose mother brought her to me because the child had severe depression, was cutting her wrists, jumping off buildings, not sleeping, and causing trouble all day long. I cast out the demons, and her child was healed. But after the child was healed, her reaction was strange. She should have told her child to believe in the Lord well, but she herself ran off to love the world.

Why don't people understand that this is a treasure? She personally saw her child come out of depression, personally saw demons speaking through her child's mouth. How could she not know? But she deliberately pretended not to know. Her child told her to believe in the Lord well, but she refused.

How can people be so foolish? Why not use their brains a little? If her body has problems, her child may have the heart but not the ability, and sometimes not even the heart. If you are the parents of an only child, you may have a hard time in the future. Can you regard knowing Jesus Christ as the supreme treasure today? This is also why I painstakingly advise everyone.

For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their mind on earthly things. For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself. (Philippians 3:18-21)

Why did Paul write this way? Because he personally saw many people living in sorrow. Why do we believe so much? Because in these years in the world, we have allowed many people to receive grace and blessings through the power of God. Those who have received grace and blessings, such as the mother of the child who was defrauded of 700,000, why don’t they know that Jesus Christ is the supreme treasure? Why do they take their own bellies as God? Why do they take their shame as glory? Why do they set their minds on earthly things?

These earthly things will one day have nothing to do with you, whether you like it or not. What do people who lived five hundred years ago have to do with today's world? The logic system of this world is to take our bellies as God, to eat well, drink well, and have fun. These are all very dangerous things.

The other day, one of our ministry leaders received feedback that a sister had many worldly things inside her. She personally saw what I was doing, and as a result, she went out to play for the past two weeks and was very happy. She took many beautiful photos, but she told her ministry leader that she was on a business trip and was embarrassed to tell the truth. In reality, she was out playing, and she expressed that she wanted to repent.

Breaking the Worldly Value System and Gaining the Mission from Jesus Christ

Do not wait until disaster strikes before remembering God. Do we have a Mingding Destiny from Jesus Christ today? Have we gained a mission from Jesus Christ? We have been polluted by the system of this world. All your problems today are because of this. We often forget God's grace, often do not regard Jesus Christ as the supreme treasure, often take our own bellies as God, often set our minds on earthly things, and often take our own shame as honor. The end result is ruin.

I am not speaking to people in the world who do not know God. I am speaking to our brothers and sisters who believe in the Lord. What do you value? One foot in the world and one foot in the kingdom of God is called cheating. In today's society, it seems like there is no feeling about cheating anymore. The faith of Jesus Christ, polluted by the worldly system, needs to be thoroughly cleansed by us and constantly corrected.

Do we see feces as Jiangmi strips today, or do we really see Jesus Christ as the supreme treasure? We often treat garbage as treasure and treasure as garbage. The Apostle Paul said to count all things as dung in order to gain Jesus as treasure. Why? Because knowing Jesus Christ and knowing the power of His resurrection from the dead is the answer to all our problems.

I have been receiving some videos recently. I saw a video where the church was decorated like a bar, and a group of people danced half-naked on the stage. People commented on this church. That is bringing the logic system of the world into the faith of Jesus Christ. Brothers and sisters must begin to know that in our church, we must thoroughly remove these worldly things. The worldly system has been polluting the church for a long time. We often think that using those things can attract people and save some souls, but is that the right path? The church can only use Jesus Christ to attract people. This is the answer to all our problems.

Do you know what will happen if you take your own belly as God and set your mind solely on earthly things? That is called being an enemy of God. How will you live your life if you become an enemy of God? If God is furious and manifests His wrath on you, what will you use to bear it? Every brother and sister must know that many things happen to us. The problem is not something else, but what is inside us.

Jesus Christ is the Answer to All Our Problems

When we gain Jesus Christ, is money still a problem? Money is no longer a problem. Is disaster still a problem? Disasters are far away from us. What else is a problem? There is no problem.

I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:12-13)

Jesus Christ is the strength in my heart and all my provision. With Jesus Christ, I have gained secrets, and nothing can take away the joy inside us, because the Lord is our joy. What in this world can affect and take away the joy inside us? Many things that we cared about in the past, we no longer care about today. Things that could disturb us in the past can no longer disturb us now. We focus solely on the kingdom of God and solely on Jesus Christ as our supreme treasure. What else can stop us from striving to pursue?

Precisely because of this, we often feel that we have not fully obtained it, that we have not become perfect, so we strive to pursue, strive to pursue doing new things for Jesus Christ every day, being constantly renewed in Jesus Christ, and running straight toward the goal set before us, eager to be a blessing to all nations and peoples on earth.

May more people through you and me come to know Jesus Christ and experience the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead. Let us be able to carry this hope through Jesus Christ, hoping that our lowly bodies will one day be transformed into glorious bodies. When that day comes, what a glorious day it will be. Because of this hope, we despise all shame in the world, and a crown of glory will be reserved for us in the future. In this world, all things, all hardships, and all difficulties are no longer a problem.

I wish that our brothers and sisters could have the same vision as me, to regard all things as dung, and only gain Jesus Christ as the supreme treasure. Because that is the answer to all the problems in our lives, and all problems, because of the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead, become the reason for manifesting God's glory.

In the process of speaking, everyone may not understand the worldly system very well, so I will add a little more.

For example, some sisters like to buy bags. What do you do with so many bags? You don’t need that much at all. Some people like to buy a lot of clothes. What do you do with so many clothes? Many people like to invest. Investment is OK, but if people focus solely on earthly investment, you have no way to regard Jesus Christ as the supreme treasure.

A few days ago, I served my sister. She had severe pain under her ribs, and she grimaced in pain. We prayed for her for a long time, and it was very difficult, with almost no progress. I reminded her to let go of her worldly system. She likes to store her clothes, making a lot of beautiful clothes, but how many pieces can a person wear in their lifetime? Later, I gradually cleaned up and removed her worldly system one by one, and her pain disappeared.

Why do people love things in the world because of the worldly system and cause themselves such great pain? In fact, the worldly system is too extensive, almost in every aspect of our lives.

We value our children going to college, which seems to be a matter of course, but precisely because of going to college, we push our children to the edge of pain. Because we think that if we don’t go to college, there will be no future and no hope. Many things that we think are worldly systems, although they have good hopes, bring about corrupt results.

Everyone should think carefully, you will clearly know the corrupt results that these things ultimately bring. May God bless everyone!

过去这几天,我特别跟踪了一件事,有一位眼睛看东西全部都是一片模糊的姐妹,这位姐妹在过去两个月的时间里常常以泪洗面。为什么呢?因为她家里头的七大姑八大姨,还包括父母,都惹上了很多的事,要么就是车祸,要么就是赔钱,反正就是很多的事。她的爸爸曾经逼她借高利贷,她也真的借了20万高利贷给她爸爸。 但是像她爸爸那种做法,20万能够吗,结果全都打水漂了。于是她每个月拼命做工,赚钱还高利贷。不仅如此,她妹妹也一样需要借高利贷,全家都掉在这样的光景中。在这样的情况下,这位姐妹的眼睛突然间看不见了,眼前的东西都是一片模糊。 听了这件事,我心里非常难过,我先把服侍她的结果告诉大家,免得你跟我一起着急。很感谢神,她在这三四天的服侍中有了极大的恢复,变得至少能看得清东西的轮廓了。这到底是什么问题呢?问题的根本就是属世界的逻辑体系。

是属世界的逻辑体系操纵着我们对事物的看法。是什么东西使人遇到这样的事情呢?就是背后的邪灵。她家有让邪灵运作的土壤,然后邪灵就败坏这个家。形成这片土壤的,就是属世界的逻辑体系。属世界的体系使人瞎了眼睛,看不清人活着是怎么一回事。那我给大家发表一个我的研究结果,解决问题的答案,就是我要跟大家分享的题目:看万事如粪土,唯得着耶稣基督为至宝。这句话是《圣经》里的话。 那我们的这位姐妹,不断地破除属世界的逻辑体系,一步一步往外走,然后视力正在开始恢复。我想告诉大家一个观念,不能解决问题的东西都是没什么用的,属世界的逻辑体系就是如此。不但为我们制造问题,还无法帮助我们解决问题。 就拿这位姐妹来说,她整天哭,想起来过去的经历就难受,想起来就使劲哭,有什么用呢?没用,剩下的是绝望。她家遇到的这些倒霉事,都来自属灵的黑暗权势。就像普通人说的,遇到倒霉的事情,喝凉水都塞牙。 为什么说唯得着耶稣基督为至宝呢?因为得着耶稣基督,就得着了属灵世界的能力,就可以打击魔鬼仇敌。后来我开始教导她从这些难受纠结的状况里出来,但是出来以后要干什么呢?不是变成麻木不仁的状态,而是要把我们的家人带到祝福的里头,这是至关重要的。

前几天,我就在想粪土这两个字,还有看万事如粪土。万事到底指的什么呢?在思考的过程中,我想到,我妈妈不是从老年痴呆的里走出来了吗?我妈妈就跟我分享了一件事,她说这魔鬼真坏啊,坏到什么程度呢?叫她眼睛看到的大便是非常好吃的江米条。 大家可能不明白什么是江米条,可以理解为一种小麻花,像手指头这么大的条状点心,然后魔鬼就让她吃,她到底吃了还是没吃,说不清楚,但魔鬼的确是让她把大便看成了江米条。 这个事很有意思,在老年痴呆的状况之下,人眼睛看到的东西和原本的东西并不是一回事。如果我们带着属世界的体系去观察事物,是不是也常常把大便看成江米条呢?很有可能啊。 但是我们仔细思考一下弟兄姐妹所面临的问题,其实还真的就是这么一回事。是大便还是江米条,就在于看世界的逻辑体系的差异。我们常常觉得某件事很重要,但其实这事不重要,我们常常觉得某件东西是宝贝,但其实它不一定是宝贝。我们将事物看成什么,跟我们的眼光有关系。 眼光的背后是人的逻辑体系,我们里面的逻辑体系,基本上是导致我们被套住,被捆绑的关键。前一段时间,有一个女孩儿得了严重的精神病,她在网上找到我们,我们医治了很多个精神病了,她的精神病也真的好了。

后来她妹妹的一个同学,也是整天要死要活的,动不动就要跳楼,给她爸她妈给急坏了,听到这件事,也找到了我的同工服侍她。结果她的父母很有意思,他们当时犹豫要不要去找我的同工,因为在广西有一个非常好的投资机会,挣扎一番过后,还是觉得给孩子看病要紧,就带着孩子来到我的同工这里。我的同工就服侍她,这个孩子也真的好了。 像我们这种人是很难被骗的,因为我们看事物有一套自己的方式,但很多世上的人用属世界的体系做判断,同样有他们自己的一套东西。就在这段服侍的过程中,谈到了广西投资的问题,结果最近才发现70万块钱没了,全都被骗走了。其实当时我们就告诉过她,那有可能是个骗局,提醒她要小心,但是她听不进去。人里头如果是愚蠢的,你要想不被骗都很难。 我一方面是想帮助大家解决你们的问题,另一方面是带领大家解决别人的问题,成为别人的祝福。到底要怎么办呢?最重要的一件事,就是要把我们头脑里错误的观念清除出去,如果这些错误的观念不清除出去,那这些人就是倒霉的命。 每次主日聚会的时候,我们都会念我们的使命,我们为什么要念我们的使命呢?是希望成为有使命的人。就是不要变成另外一个字,写法是尸体的尸,下面加一个大米的米。一个人要么有使命,要么有屎命。能听出差别来吗?听不出来,发音都是一样的,但结果千差万别。 中国人发明文字是非常有意思的。有一天我在白板上写了一个便字,我发现这个字跟使命的使真的很像,就差一笔横,相当于差一个江米条。但是大便命和大使命是天差地别。 我们需要改变我们的眼光,各位弟兄姐妹要思考,为什么你遇到这么多的事,并且来到教会呢?因为你原来头脑里装的是属世界的逻辑体系,必须开始学习破除。你的眼光导致你把东西看错了,就好比把大便看成江米条,把一生所追求的东西看成宝贝,却把耶稣基督看成垃圾,这样的人能不遇到问题吗?当孩子得精神病的时候想起神来了。 我们是否愿意改变自己的价值体系至关重要,我们来读一段经文:

主耶稣,请你在我们身上做工,改变我们里面对事物的看法。主啊,在我们当中开启我们的眼睛,让我们改变我们的眼光,让我们真正睁开属灵的眼睛,得以认识你,让我们认识耶稣基督,也能够晓得祂从死里复活的大能,并且晓得在这世上的日子与你同行,就必得着你在永恒里为我们所预备的应许和盼望。 今天就开启我们的心窍,让我们知道什么是宝贝,让我们知道什么是粪土。让我们得以知道,你才是我们一生的追求。奉耶稣基督的名祷告,阿门!

人把什么东西当作宝贝,也就是看重什么,你最后得的结果就是什么。你看重的东西,就是你认为有价值的东西,就叫做价值观。你认为什么东西有价值,你就会追求什么东西。 差不多在十年前的时候我还在做工,服侍过一些在学校里的中国学生,他们都有各自的问题,其中就有一个基督徒的姐妹,当时还跟着我一起带领查经,做服侍也都挺热心,但是她里面是比较混乱的状态,混乱到做什么事情都很辛苦。 在当时的状况下,她把嫁给一个新加坡本地人看得比较宝贵。她觉得,如果嫁给一个新加坡本地人,就可以解决她人生当中的问题。当时还真有一个在新加坡本地的男孩,也是一个基督徒,而且是一间新加坡最大教会的基督徒追求她。 她就非常感谢神,感谢得不得了,认为这是神为她预备的白马王子。转眼许多年过去了,现在她成了有三个孩子的妈妈,结果今年年初整个人得了抑郁症,而且还很严重。得了抑郁症以后,她老公跟她说了一句话,听了让人感觉挺悲哀的:我们都帮不了你,只有你自己帮助自己吧。 不久之前,我稍微去她家做了一下探访,发现屋子里头肮脏不堪,后来我就帮她打扫,清理出来一个角落,让她照着这样的方式去清理其它地方。到了晚上,她老公回来跟她发脾气,把我丢掉的垃圾又都捡回来了,你说这是什么人呢?居然把垃圾看作是宝贝,那些垃圾,卖个几十块钱都很难。

人活着活着,要么就变成老妈子,要么就变成老爷子,然后还要继续活着。为什么人会走到这样的光景当中呢?是因为当时的眼光决定了未来事物的发展,也就是今天你对事物的看法,决定了未来你所经历的事。如果你经历很多倒霉事,我给你两个字:活该。谁让你把世上的事看得很重。 比方说最近我服侍的这位姐妹,眼睛看东西都模糊了,她才多大岁数呢?三十岁不到。三十岁左右就这样了。为什么呢?她自己找的不是吗?问题的根源真是自己。为什么我会苦有婆心的跟你讲,要看万事为粪土,唯要得着耶稣基督为至宝?因为耶稣基督真的是至宝,地上的万事真就是粪土。 人这一辈子把什么当作宝贵,就活出什么样子。如果你把万事当作粪土,你就会唯得着耶稣基督为至宝,你就会活出神荣耀的形象。如果你把万事都当作宝贝,那你今天遇到的事就遇到吧。所以你一定要知道什么东西才是宝贝,你看重什么,结果就会是什么,也就是一定要明白自己脑袋里到底装的是什么。 我在服侍当中喜欢对问题进行探索和研究,解决了问题以后,就会明白原来问题是这样。我越来越多的发现,今天带着问题来到教会的弟兄姐妹,他们的问题,就是脑袋里装的东西。 有一个年轻孩子得了抑郁症,自己到药房买抗抑郁症的药,还跟他的妈妈说:你已经被这些人洗脑了。因为他妈跟他讲耶稣基督的大能,他听不进去。我就在想,人脑袋里装这么多垃圾,已经给自己造成这么多困扰,为什么不需要清理自己脑袋里的垃圾呢?还美其名曰:别人在洗脑。

人的头发别说三天不洗,就是两天不洗都难受,如果人常年不洗头那得多臭。脑袋里装的这些垃圾,那不是使命,而是屎命,活出来的结果就是散发着臭味。人把什么东西当作宝贝,是眼光的问题。至于我,我是看万事为粪土,唯得着耶稣基督为至宝。 为什么?因为我知道耶稣基督是我们一生所有问题的答案,不仅如此,耶稣基督也是我们得着永生的答案。我不觉得人着活着活着就死了,最后变成一块肥料就是终结,我觉得人应该活出神荣耀的形象,直到回到神那里得着永生。 当然人信什么是自己的选择,如果你觉着别扯什么永生,今生活好最重要,那我也没办法。而且我必须给你泼一盆冷水,今生你也没活好啊,孩子得了抑郁症怎么办?最后还不是得来找我。这类事情太多了,都是因为脑袋里肮脏。你可能会问,这跟脑袋里肮脏有什么关系,在属灵的事情上都是有关系的。

为什么我会把耶稣基督当作至宝呢?因为我晓得耶稣基督从死里复活的大能。你想,一个人都能从死里复活,还有什么事情是不可能的?耶稣基督被钉十字架,然后受死埋葬,被放在坟墓里,第三天从死里复活。像耶稣基督这样的人,身上有从死里复活的能力,并且释放神的大能,解决很多人的问题,我问你们,像这样的人他有什么问题?没有什么问题。 有人说,人活着得有钱,但既然耶稣基督能够从死里复活,钱还是问题吗?更何况,你没有耶稣基督从死里复活的能力,一个疾病就可以干掉你一半的积蓄,两个病可能就让你身无分文,如果三个病,差不多就让你倾家荡产了,医院是很贵的。 我看过的一个小视频很有意思,一个人下了飞机,坐上的士,表示自己有钱,想要到北京最高的地方去消费,结果人家的士司机就把他拉到医院去了,因为这就是全市消费最高的地方。病根本得不起,有什么别有病,没什么别没钱。

我就是要告诉大家,为什么我会得着耶稣基督为至宝?为什么我会丢弃万事看为粪土?因为《圣经》清清楚楚地写了,这点跟我自己的观点也是一致的: **只是我先前以为与我有益的,我现在因基督都当作有损的。不但如此,我也将万事当作有损的,因我以认识我主基督耶稣为至宝。我为他已经丢弃万事,看作粪土,为要得着基督。(《腓立比书》3:7-8)** 以前认为于我有益的,现在我都因耶稣基督当做有损的。耶稣基督能让我们晓得祂从死里复活的大能,这事非常重要。

我常常问一些人,为什么要养这么多孩子,他们回答为了养老,担心老了以后没有人管。这可说不好啊。像我妈就好命,有我这样的一个儿子,又能赚钱,又有耶稣基督的大能。我妈现在挺好的,两年前都老糊涂了,因为得了老年痴呆。 我妈现在好了,清醒的不得了,跟我们说话聊天,内容清清楚楚的,是我解决好的,靠的就是耶稣基督从死里复活的大能。昨天我带她去买了一个按摩器,想孝敬老人家,从店里出来后,我妈开玩笑说,我不给她花钱,谁给她花钱?这话说的很有水平。 晓得耶稣基督从死里复活的大能,我知道这是一切问题的答案。要不是因为耶稣基督,你能够想象我今天活在什么样的状况中吗?那我就惨了,我妈拉在床上,拉在裤子里,我和我的弟兄姐妹必须一起照顾她。但是现在不用了,因为有耶稣基督,这样的问题就没了。

我的一个同学,有一次我们一起吃饭,他就跟我分享说,他过去七年间照顾了两个瘫痪的老人,他的爸爸妈妈,七年后终于送走了他们。结果他因为照顾老人,自己得了一身的病,肩膀酸痛,天天痛得要命。好在我有耶稣基督为至宝,而且我不管走到哪里都喜欢祝福人。我就在等一个合适的祝福他的机会,吃饭间,他也真的跟我说到他的病,而且非常辛苦。 我感谢我的神,让我能够认识耶稣基督,晓得他从死里复活的大能,今天可以让我活得很有尊严,让我的妈妈也因着我认识耶稣基督,经历耶稣基督的大能,从老年痴呆,大小便不能自理,糊里糊涂的状态中走出来。 我妈是怎么好的呢?因为我把她身上老年痴呆的鬼一个一个赶出去,直到今天她好了。其实人的问题都是属灵的问题,只是人不知道而已。我又怎么不把耶稣基督看做至宝呢?看见我妈妈恢复的状况,我心里头充满了感恩,我说神啊,我愿意一生一世侍奉你,你是我的主,你是我的一切,我的生命在你的手里。愿你能够大大地使用我,让我能够成为很多人的祝福。 后来跟这个同学吃完饭以后,我跟他握了手,抓了一下他的肩膀,我也没为他祷告就走了。第二天他发了一个短信给我,他说:你真行啊,你真厉害!你知道吗?跟你吃饭的时候,我的肩膀疼得快掉下来了,临走的时候,你抓了一下我的肩膀,就好了! 神啊,你真神!那是我的神,因为我侍奉神,侍奉耶稣基督,使耶稣基督的荣耀在遍地都因着我彰显出来。我巴不得我们当中听我唠叨的人们能够认同这句话:看万事如粪土,唯得着耶稣基督为至宝。

为什么那么多人被骗呢?这个被骗70万,那个被骗60万。人一生中又有几个70万呢?被骗了以后,那种感觉其实非常难受,我设身处地想一下都觉得难受。虽然我看万事为粪土,唯要得着耶稣基督为至宝,但如果我被人骗了70万,我都会很辛苦的,都是血汗钱啊。 但是话说回来,人这么容易被骗,不就是因为脑袋里面全是垃圾吗?一失足成千古恨,都不用千古恨了,一古就够了。网上有一个投资理财的项目,看起来挺不错,还有一个什么政府的文件,有些弟兄姐妹就立刻相信人家了,把70万打给人家了,从此就是肉包子打狗,一去不回。 什么原因呢?就是我们对事物的本质不清楚。可是问题的本质到底是什么呢?有一个人叫做彼拉多,他要把耶稣基督钉十字架,结果那个时候他就在想,真理到底是什么。我们也要问问自己,为什么我们被骗得这么惨呢?因为我们不晓得耶稣基督从死里复活的大能,因为我们把世界的粪土当作宝贝,结果就活成这样了。 我们当中有很多家里,基本都是独生子女。第一批独生子女的父母,现在到了60多岁,你能指望什么呢?你能指望你的孩子养你老吗?养不了啊。你能指望医院吗?医院指望赚你的钱,你有多少钱给人家赚呢?好好问一下自己这个问题。我不是要给你洗脑,我要清除掉你脑袋中的垃圾。 前一段时间,我服侍了一对母女,孩子在加拿大,她自己在中国,我就在想,这要怎么照顾呢?就算是孩子在你身边,她也是有这份心,没这份力啊!要么照顾你,她没办法做工,要么她做工,没办法照顾你,就算在你身边又能怎样?不能怎么样。 那问题解决的答案是什么呢?答案就是耶稣基督是我们人一生的宝贝。如果你能走、能动,有病一祷告就好了,你还需要谁啊?你最需要的就是耶稣基督和耶稣基督从死里复活的能力!如果我们得着耶稣基督从死里复活的能力,神明明地与我们同在,很多人因着我们的服侍得着医治,那我们自己怎么可能成为问题呢?

弟兄姐妹要开始对问题的本质有一个清楚的看见。不要以为我在说教,我是真的这么认为。我也不是在骗你,我是真的把耶稣基督当做我自己一生的宝贝。结果很多事情上就能看见神大能的彰显,那就是我的宝贝。 为什么有一些人传福音那么费劲呢?因为他们传的不是真福音,我传的福音是真福音。耶稣基督从死里复活的能力,就明明地彰显在我们身上,因为我们真的照着神的话语去认识神,我们从来不会扭曲神的话,神的话怎么说,我们就怎么相信。透过我们的手,有多少抑郁症患者从绝望当中得着医治?人为什么还不紧紧地抓住呢? 我们当中有一个姐妹,她妈妈把她带过来找我,因为孩子得了很严重的忧郁症,又是割腕又是跳楼,不睡觉,整天折腾。我把鬼赶出去,她孩子好了,但孩子好了以后,她反应很奇怪,让她孩子好好信主,然后自己跑去爱世界了。 人为什么就不晓得这是宝贝呢?她自己亲眼看见她的孩子从忧郁症里走出来,亲眼看见鬼透过她孩子的嘴巴说话,她怎么可能不知道呢?但是就是故意装作不知道,她的孩子告诉她说,妈妈你要好好信主,她就是不要。 人怎么就这么愚昧?为什么不稍微动点脑筋想一想,她如果身体出现问题,她的孩子有那份心也没那份力,何况有的时候连那份心都没有。如果你是独生子女的父母,你将来可能会很辛苦。你今天能否以认识耶稣基督为至宝?这也是我为什么要苦口婆心地劝大家。

**因为有许多人行事是基督十字架的仇知识。我屡次告诉你们,现在又流泪地告诉你们:他们的结局就是沉沦;他们的神就是自己的肚腹。他们以自己的羞辱为荣耀,专以地上的事为念。我们却是天上的国民,并且等候救主,就是主耶稣基督从天上降临。他要按着那能叫万有归服自己的大能,将我们这卑贱的身体改变形状,和他自己荣耀的身体相似。(《腓立比书》 3:18-21)** 为什么保罗要这么写?是因为他亲眼看见很多人活在悲哀当中。为什么我们会如此地相信?因为在世上这些年,我们透过神的大能让很多人得着恩典和祝福。那些得着恩典和祝福的,比如说被骗70万的孩子妈妈,为什么不知道耶稣基督是至宝呢?为什么以自己的肚腹为神呢?为什么以自己的羞辱为荣耀呢?为什么以地上的事为念呢? 这地上的事总有一天跟你没有一点关系,你喜欢也好,不喜欢也好。五百年前活过的人跟今天的世界有什么关系啊。这世界的逻辑体系就是以我们的肚腹为神,就是吃好的,喝好的,玩好的。这都是非常要命的事。 前两天,我们当中的一个事工领袖收到了一份回馈,一个姐妹里面有很多属世界的东西,她亲眼看见我做的事情,结果前两个礼拜出去玩了,可开心了,拍了很多美照,但是跟她的事工领袖说自己是去出差,不好意思说实情,实际上是出去玩了,表示自己要悔改。

不要等到灾祸降临的时候才想起来神。今天我们是否有从耶稣基督来的命定?是否得着了从耶稣基督来的使命?我们被这世界的体系污染了,今天你所有的问题都是因为这个。我们常常忘记神的恩典,常常不以耶稣基督为至宝,常常以我们自己的肚腹为神,常常以地上的事为念,常常以自己的羞辱为荣誉,结局就是沉沦。 我不是跟世上不认识神的人说话,我是跟我们当中信主的弟兄姐妹说话。你到底看重什么呢?一只脚在世界里,一只脚在神的国里,这叫劈腿,现在这个社会,对劈腿好像也没什么感觉了。被世界的体系污染了的耶稣基督的信仰,需要我们彻底的清除,需要我们不断来修正。 我们今天是否把大便看成江米条?还是真的看耶稣基督为至宝呢?我们常常把垃圾当作宝贝,把宝贝当作垃圾。使徒保罗说看万事为粪土,唯得着耶稣为至宝。为什么?因为认识耶稣基督,晓得他从死里复活的大能,那是我们所有问题的答案。 我最近常常收到一些视频,我看到有一个视频,里面把教会装饰的跟酒吧一样,一群人半裸身子,然后在台上跳舞,人们就评论这个教会。那是把世界的逻辑体系带到耶稣基督的信仰里。弟兄姐妹要开始知道,在我们教会当中,要彻底清除这属世界的东西。属世界的体系对教会的污染时日已久。我们常常以为用那些东西可以吸引人,好拯救一些灵魂,但那是正路吗?教会唯有用耶稣基督来吸引人,这才是我们所有问题的答案。 你知道以自己的肚腹为神,专以地上的事为念,会发生什么事吗?那叫做与神为敌啊。你要成了神的仇敌,你的日子怎么过呢?如果神震怒了,把祂的怒气都彰显在你的身上,你用什么东西来承担呢?每一个弟兄姐妹都要知道,很多事发生在我们身上,问题不是别的,就是我们里面到底装的是什么。

当我们得着耶稣基督,钱还是问题吗?钱不再是问题。灾祸还是问题吗?灾祸也离我们远远的。还有什么东西是问题呢?没有问题了。 **我知道怎样处卑贱,也知道怎样处丰富;或饱足,或饥饿;或有余,或缺乏,随事随在,我都得了秘诀。 我靠着那加给我力量的,凡事都能作。(《腓立比书》 4:12-13 )** 耶稣基督是我心里的力量,是我所有的供应。有了耶稣基督,我就都得了秘诀,什么东西也不能剥夺我们里面的喜乐,因为主就是我们的喜乐。在这世上又有什么东西能够影响,剥夺我们里面的喜乐呢?很多我们过去在乎的,今天已经不在乎了。过去能够搅扰我们的,现在已经不能搅扰我们了。我们单单以神的国度为念,单单以耶稣基督为我们的至宝,还有什么东西能够拦阻我们竭力追求呢? 正因为如此,我们常常觉得我们还没有完全得着,我们还没有变得完全,所以我们才竭力追求,竭力追求每一天都为耶稣基督做新事,在耶稣基督里被不断更新,朝着摆在我们面前的标杆直跑,渴望成为地上万国万民的祝福。 有更多的人透过你和我得以认识耶稣基督,得以经历耶稣基督死里复活的大能。让我们得以透过耶稣基督带着这盼望,盼望我们这卑贱的身体总有一天改变成荣耀的身体。当那日来临的时候,那该是何等充满荣耀的日子。因着这样的盼望,我们在世上就轻看一切羞辱,将来必有荣耀的冠冕为我们存留。我们在这地上,所有的事情,所有的艰难困苦都不再是问题了。 我巴不得我们的弟兄姐妹,能够跟我一样有这样的看见,将万事看作粪土,唯得着耶稣基督为至宝。因为那才是我们人一生所有问题的答案,并且所有的问题,都因着耶稣基督从死里复活的大能成为彰显神荣耀的缘故。

在讲的过程中,大家可能会不太了解属世界的体系,我再稍微做点补充。 比方说有的姐妹喜欢买包包,买那么多包包做什么?根本不需要那么多。还有人喜欢买一大堆的衣服,买那么多衣服做什么?很多人喜欢投资,投资是OK的,但是人如果专以这地上的投资为念,你没有办法把耶稣基督当作至宝。 前几天我服侍我的姐姐,她肋骨下面剧痛,痛得龇牙咧嘴,我们带她祷告了很久,非常的艰难,几乎没有一点进展,我就提醒她,要放下自己属世界的体系。她很喜欢储藏自己的衣服,弄了一大堆漂亮衣服,但是人一生能穿几件呢?后来我逐渐地清理,把她里面属世界的体系一个个的拆除,她的疼痛就消失了。 人为什么要因为属世界的体系去爱世界上的东西,然后给自己找这么大的痛苦呢?其实属世界的体系太广泛了,几乎在我们生活的每一个层面。 我们看重孩子考大学,似乎天经地义,但是正因为考大学,把孩子推上了痛苦的边缘。因为我们认为考不上大学就没有未来,就没有希望。我们认为的很多东西都是属世界的体系,虽然有美好的盼望,但是带来的结果都是败坏。 大家仔细去思考,这些东西最后带来的败坏结果你会明明地知道。愿神祝福大家!
