【Sermon】Exorcism Series 03: Spiritual Height and the Power of Exorcism

2019-11-02 22,105 Deliverance Series Spiritual Warfare Curses Dedication Spiritual Disciplines Power Cancer

Introduction

I want to share with you a topic: The spiritual height determines the power of casting out demons. This is the third part of the series on casting out demons. The first part was The Reward of Casting Out Demons, and the second was Today, Tomorrow, I Cast Out Demons and Heal the Sick; on the Third Day, My Work Will Be Accomplished. We are gradually forming a theoretical system of healing and deliverance, which can also be called a theoretical system of casting out demons. This theoretical system of casting out demons is not only supplementary but also forms a very important concept: wherever we cast out demons by the Spirit of God, the Kingdom of God comes. So, casting out demons is actually a very important concept, and we will continue to promote it in an unprecedented way.

Some time ago, there was a sister who had been trying to have children but couldn't. Her pastor recommended her to us. After she came, she prayed with us. One day, she suddenly felt something descending on her, and at the same time, something went out of her. As a result, she became pregnant at that moment, and now her child is over one year old.

Later, this sister became a full-time co-worker in the church, and she is very interested in casting out demons. She cast out some demons, some of which were effective, but most were not. She really wanted to learn how to cast out demons. Her pastor sent her to an institution that does healing and deliverance to study, but it wasn't very useful after she finished studying. Recently, she came to us to learn how to cast out demons and how to do healing and deliverance.

What is the problem? The problem is that most people like to learn methods: just tell me! I'll be done once I know how to do it. But the method is not the key. If people often focus on methods, they will not grasp the essence. Only by grasping the essence of things and mastering the internal laws of things can you do things effectively. So we often say that you must lay a good foundation because the foundation is the key.

So what is the foundation of casting out demons and healing deliverance? Regarding the foundation of casting out demons and healing deliverance, we have gradually formed a theoretical system. This theoretical system is all dug out from the《Bible》. The 《Bible》 lays it out clearly in black and white which is very worthy of our exploration! What amazes me? Many people read the same 《Bible》, but read different things.

I would like to share with you this spiritual height. The spiritual height is the knowledge of God's truth. Your knowledge of God's truth determines the power of casting out demons. That is to say, if you come to us to learn how to cast out demons, to learn how to do healing and deliverance, if you want to be like Jesus and instantly kill demons, you must have a clear understanding of God's words. It is not a method; it is the knowledge of God's truth! The essential problem of casting out demons is the problem of spiritual height.

In the past years, I have been dreaming of being like Jesus. How I long to be like Jesus! Jesus instantly kills demons as soon as He comes up. Why can't I do it? This is not difficult to understand. Think about it, if you want to become a world-class boxing master, it is not easy. That takes a long time of practice. Even if you practice, you may not reach that height, and if you don't practice, it is even more impossible. If you keep dreaming of being like Jesus, then you must have the height of Jesus. Jesus' understanding of the spiritual world, of the schemes of demons, has simply reached the point of perfection.

If we dream of being like Jesus today, then we must constantly climb the spiritual peaks, until we climb to the height of Jesus Christ. Can you drink the cup that Jesus Christ drank? Can you pay the price that Jesus Christ paid? If you can't pay it, then it's a problem. Today, your understanding of the spiritual world and truth, and the extent to which you can pay the price, basically determine whether you can be like Jesus.

I read a post that I found quite interesting. We will not discuss whether the event written is biased or not. The post is written like this: Many years ago, someone read Confucius's 《The Book of Rites - The Great Unity》, which talked about universal love and a world for all, the Great Way prevails, the world is for all, selecting the virtuous and capable, practicing honesty, and cultivating universal peace. People love not only their own parents. People should care for the young until they are old enough to work. In the early years of the Republic of China, the Ministry of Education organized twelve Chinese and English doctors, plus several officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and discussed for a week, finalizing the draft in a month, translating 《The Book of Rites - The Great Unity》 into English:

When the Great Way(or Principle) prevails, the whole is owned by all; they elect men of talents, virtue and ability; they practice honesty, and they cultivate universal peace. People love not only their own parents……

Einstein read this passage and was furious. He said that human beings have such simple, kind, and noble ideas, why go around in such a big circle and talk so much nonsense. He went on to say: people in here is for the sake of others. People come into the world not only to live for themselves but also to live for others. These people talked a lot, but Jesus Christ used seven words: It is more blessed to give than to receive, which concisely summarized it.

What am I talking about? I am saying that it is not difficult if you dream of being like Jesus. If you can give up yourself like Jesus, you will be great. Recently, we have been exploring that God is faithful, but man is a liar. We have discovered that God is truly faithful. Our God became flesh and came into this world. He gave Himself up for us, shed His blood and sacrificed Himself, and was nailed to the cross, paying all the price for all our transgressions. What a wonderful thing this is!

So, brothers and sisters, if you dream of being like Jesus, really want to live for Christ, and want to be a master of casting out demons and healing the sick, you must break through in theory, you must climb the spiritual peaks, and keep climbing to 《Galatians》 2:20, which is a very high height and a very powerful height! If you can't do anything, get up and cast out demons. Jesus said: Today, tomorrow, I cast out demons, and on the third day my work will be accomplished. In fact, casting out demons is a touchstone. It is useless to just shout. I often say: Is it a mule or a horse? Take it out for a walk. If it has diarrhea after one walk, it definitely won't work.

Scripture

I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. (《Galatians》 2:20)

Prayer

Lord Jesus, please speak to us, and let each of our brothers and sisters begin to say from their hearts, It is no longer I who live, but Jesus Christ lives in me. Let us be able to imitate you and run this heavenly road. Lord, just as you received the crown of glory, so shall we also receive it. Just as you gave up yourself, so shall we also give up ourselves. Lord, grant us such thoughts and intentions, so that we may have a strong feeling in our hearts to respond to your love, willingly and happily offer ourselves, and become a blessing to this generation! Enable us to become the Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph of this generation, to become what is pleasing in your heart, and to become vessels for completing your will in this generation! In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Background of 《Galatians》

The background of this 《Galatians》 is very interesting. The Apostle Paul wrote the 《Galatians》 in a free and unrestrained manner for the pure gospel of Jesus Christ. The entire book constantly reveals the scene of Paul's struggle for the pure gospel at that time. If it were not for the Apostle Paul, we would not know what the gospel we believe in today would be like. Fortunately, God raised up the Apostle Paul, who gave all of himself for the sake of the gospel. He is really great!

When Paul was writing 《Galatians》, his position in the church was very stable, and no one could shake him. He became a veritable leader in the Gentile churches! At that time, a group of people came to Galatia and preached a gospel that was not the gospel. In fact, today there are also people who preach a gospel that is not the gospel! What can he gain by preaching a gospel that is not the gospel? Isn't it strange? I am also very strange. Many people read the 《Bible》 and can read many other things.

When Paul discovered that the Galatians had accepted many strange things, he said:

I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed! (《Galatians》 1:6-9)

This is very interesting. How did Paul determine that what he preached was the Gospel of God? Because the Spirit of God testified to him! Paul said this very seriously. If you preach the wrong Gospel, you should be cursed. Today, we must be careful. If the gospel we preach is the same as those who went to Galatia to preach, then it will be a problem! Today, when we believe in Jesus and read the 《Bible》 we must be rigorous. What kind of people did the Apostle Paul encounter? They should be very strange people. In fact, Paul started serving many years ago. In the process of serving, he encountered great difficulties. At that time, many people were preaching a gospel that was not the gospel. His ministry work was facing great challenges, and he could be kicked out of the church at any time.

Then after an interval of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also. It was because of a revelation that I went up, and I submitted to them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but I did so in private to those who were of reputation, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain. (《Galatians》 2:1-2)

What did we read? Anyone who knows a little bit about power struggles will understand that Paul went to Jerusalem with Barnabas because of a revelation, fearing that all his efforts at that time or before would be in vain. That is to say, he was almost dismissed. At that time, his position was not yet stable, and Jerusalem still had a very far-reaching influence on all Gentile churches. To what extent was it far-reaching? If they let Paul get lost , Paul would have to get lost , and his ministry would be completely in vain.

But what happened when he went up because of a revelation? In 《Acts》 15, the Apostle Paul's position among the Gentiles was established. At the same time, the Gentiles were not forced to keep the law of Moses, which was originally the pure gospel, and there was no need to keep the law of Moses. As a result, 10 years later, Paul said:

But from those who were of high reputation (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality—indeed, those who were of reputation contributed nothing to me). (《Galatians》 2:6)

Those of high reputation are probably James, who wrote《James》, Peter, who wrote 《1 Peter》 and 《2 Peter》, and John, who wrote 《John》. Paul's words are powerful and sonorous. Then he mentioned one thing: the Apostle Peter was originally a great disciple of Jesus Christ, but later when he arrived in Antioch, he had something to blame. Before people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. After people came from James, he began to be afraid, afraid of those who were circumcised, so he withdrew with the Gentiles, and Barnabas also followed suit. This is simply fatal! Paul rebuked them for not acting in accordance with the truth of the gospel. Speaking of this, we see that the Apostle Paul no longer cares about anything for the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.(《Galatians》 2:20)

Did Paul know the danger of doing these things? He knew it. You think Barnabas was fake, and the Apostle Peter was fake. It's also difficult for God to use fake people. Later, I gradually understood why God raised up the Apostle Paul, because Paul did not play fake! There are too many fake phenomena in the church.

Let’s continue to look at it. The people who came from James side, Peter was fake when he saw it. The people sent from James side traveled to various churches. As for the Corinthian church, they also encountered these people in 《1 Corinthians》 4:19-20. Where did these people come from? It is not stated so clearly, probably the people who came from James side, they only said. So Paul's 《1 Corinthians》 and 《Galatians》 are very similar.

But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I shall find out, not the words of those who are arrogant but their power. For the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power.(《1 Corinthians》 4:19-20)

The power mentioned by the Apostle Paul refers to the miracles that followed Paul. That is to say, the Apostle Paul was definitely very powerful in healing and casting out demons. He could serve very well. Those arrogant people can only talk but cannot do. When it comes to being a mule or a horse, when you take it out for a walk, they have diarrhea, they can't do it, they can't put on the set . But the Apostle Paul can not only speak but also do it.

Everyone can think about it for a while. The Pharisees can talk better than Jesus, but those who can talk may not be able to do it. You have to be able to do it. The kingdom of God is not in words but in power. Power means healing and casting out demons. The passage in 《Galatians》 and the passage in 《1 Corinthians》 that the Apostle Paul said are both for the pure gospel of God.

What is the pure gospel? It is power. If the gospel preached by a pastor is not as good as the gospel preached by a witch doctor, then the gospel you preach is just a theory, which is not very useful. You think that is salvation, but who knows if it is salvation? According to 《Galatians》, if you do not preach the powerful gospel that Paul preached, you will be cursed! If you regard the curse as suffering for God, isn’t it going to cause chaos in the world? It is a gourd stirring an eggplant, and the whole thing is a mess!

So we must remove this kind of superstitious thinking and filth in the faith of Jesus Christ. When we believe in Jesus, we must believe in Jesus like Jesus and have the power given by Jesus Christ, because God has given us the keys to the kingdom of heaven. That is to imitate Jesus and Paul! The reward is so high! It is a great loss for Christians who cannot cast out demons! Whether it is Jesus Christ or the Apostle Paul, they are very powerful in casting out demons. It is clear that God is with Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul, and even the demons know it.

Who are you? Do the demons know?

The demons know who Jesus is, and they also know who Paul is. In 《Acts》 Chapter 19:15, several sons of a high priest were casting out demons there. They thought it was fun to cast out demons. As a result, they encountered a very powerful demon. The demon opened his mouth and said: I know Jesus, and I know Paul, but who are you? As a result, he jumped on the sons of the high priest, stripped them naked, and made them run all over the street. In the end, they all went crazy.

Then some itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.” The men who were doing this were seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva. But the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize, but who are you?” And the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped on them, mastered all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.(《Acts》 19:13-16 ESV)

The demons really know who you are, and who you are in the eyes of the demons is very important, otherwise how can there be power? When I was casting out demons, the demons often said, It's really unlucky to meet you. Will the demons say it's really unlucky when they meet you? It depends on whether the demons know who you are. I talked about the background of 《Galatians》 earlier. The Apostle Paul is like Jesus, and the demons know it, and people also know it, because he climbed to the top of the mountain. It is no longer I who live, but Jesus Christ lives in me.

This is a spiritual height. If you want to be Jesus Christ, if you want to be the Apostle Paul, you have to climb. In the process of climbing, you will definitely find one thing: the demons know who you are. When you read 《Romance of the Three Kingdoms》, we will find that the image of Guan Yu is very clear. He passed five passes, killed six generals, killed Wen Chou, beheaded Yan Liang, and took the heads of enemies as if he were taking things from his pocket. This was achieved through fighting and killing. It is amazing! If anyone encounters Guan Yu again and fights with him, he will definitely be terrified. Instantly killing demons like Jesus is honed in the midst of hard work, constantly climbing the spiritual peaks, and constantly fighting with the demons. I will tell you my experience: I have never let go of any demon-casting thing. As long as I encounter it, I will definitely kill it.

I once met a church leader. Once, he and his wife attended a special lecture. His wife suddenly cried out in pain in her feet. The pastor of this couple was also at the scene. Seeing this situation, he turned a blind eye. There are many such pastors, but I couldn't stand it anymore. I said to his wife: If you need me to pray for you after the seminar today, you can call me at any time.

As a result, she called me at 1:00 in the middle of the night, and I led her to pray until 3:00. Finally, her pain disappeared. After praying, I was a little happy. I thought she and her husband should have some changes, right? But unexpectedly, the next day, I asked this brother, Did I disturb you sleeping by praying with your wife yesterday? He said: No, no, thank you! But, you should ask for this! He snapped his fingers, meaning that he could kill the demons with a snap and the pain would disappear immediately.

Everyone wants to kill demons with a snap, but people don't want to practice in praying for three hours or two hours. Looking back on the road I have traveled, it is all hard work, and it is all practiced. We often encounter battles that last for days and nights. One sister often has a fever, which comes and goes; another had hemorrhoid surgery, and after praying, she got better and came again, and then prayed again. After praying, she rested, and I continued to work. As soon as she was in pain, I got up again. These were all battles that lasted for days and nights!

Thank God, now many of our leaders are doing this. Recently, one sister's family is experiencing a great battle! This is reflected in her body. These leaders among us are extremely serious. They have arranged a prayer schedule, taking her to pray around the clock for days and nights in running. They only sleep for an hour or so at night, but I think they are very energetic because they are like Jesus! All the instant kills come from hard battles!

You say you want to be like Jesus, you have to be like Him to the root! Did Jesus pay the price? Can you afford the price that Jesus paid? The price that Jesus paid is very deep! So what is the price we pay today? We started on the road to being like Jesus. Were we like Him at the beginning? Not even a little bit similar. So what should we do?

We have embarked on a road of climbing spiritual peaks, constantly attacking the demonic enemies, passing five passes and killing six generals, killing Yan Liang and beheading Wen Chou. That was killed out. Today, we often fight against high-end demons. How good it is to practice like this! I wrote a book 《Do Healing Deliverance Like Jesus Christ》, which is actually casting out demons and healing the sick like Jesus. The term healing deliverance is a bit gentle. It should actually be changed to 《Do Casting Out Demons and Healing the Sick Like Jesus Christ》!

My book sells very well. I suggest everyone buy one to read. When this book was not written, my mother did not have Alzheimer's disease. After this book was written, my mother had Alzheimer's disease. I continued to do it according to this book, and as a result, her Alzheimer's disease was cured. Don't think that's an isolated case. Everything I have experienced has been healed. In the future, I will write a series of books like Jesus 《Shepherd Like Jesus》, 《Triumph Like Jesus》, 《Understand God's Will Like Jesus》, 《Walk with God Like Jesus》, 《Give Up Yourself Like Jesus》...... Just keep doing it like this. Do you think the demons still know who you are? The demons definitely know who you are.

Many years ago, there was a little girl who went out to work when she was in her teens and got a very serious illness when she was eighteen or nineteen. She found me through the Internet and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to go to Beijing for medical treatment. But if she didn't see it, it was okay, but once she saw it, her condition got worse and worse! The tumor was originally the size of an egg, but later it became the size of a fist, and then it became the size of a goose egg. After a while, the goose egg became a cauliflower and grew on her stomach like that. We were still very barren at that time, but every night someone took her to pray alone until she fell asleep because she was in a lot of pain and suffering at that time.

After two months of prayer and service, her cauliflower-like tumor shrunk. I thought if we continued like this, wouldn't it be good? Wouldn't we start to have blessed days? Then it would have to start from a offering. I haven't asked her to give up herself or her life yet, so I just asked her to do a tithe. The child thought about it and didn't do a tithe.

So where did her money come from? Her money was actually donated to her by my fans. Everyone heard how I served, and they donated to her. Everyone, don't use money to solve problems. Solving problems with money is not a mark of a master. What about the result? People said that I was going to leave the church, and after leaving the church, she was killed by the demon. After a while, I called her mother, and her mother said she was dead. So I think, the demons know who you are. If the demons know that you are this child, it is too easy to kill you.

But if the demons know that you are someone like me, that you are someone like Jesus, someone like the Apostle Paul, what do you think? I tell you, the demons will run away. If you are not like Jesus or the Apostle Paul, you have to start practicing! If you think the demons know that you are not good, then you have to start practicing. In those years when my mother had Alzheimer's disease, the demons often said: If you are not in front of me, I will come! The demons are not afraid of my sister.

Embarking on the Ascent to Spiritual Heights

Like many others, I found the initial climb to spiritual heights arduous. Even today, I observe that many churches are in a similar state, experiencing repeated defeats. For instance, there are instances where individuals, after being admitted to psychiatric hospitals, have demons cast out, leading to their liberation. However, these victories often fall short. It's akin to playing chess, where one might occasionally capture a pawn or rook, only to lose in the final move. In chess, a single misstep can determine the outcome.

In my desperation, I sought God with tears flowing profusely. Subsequently, God directed me to read The Final Quest. Despite having read this book countless times, I hadn't grasped its full meaning. Upon revisiting it, I experienced a profound enlightenment. I realised that elevating one's spiritual height is crucial for achieving victory in spiritual warfare. I recognised that engaging in battles of good and evil with demons on the battlefield of discerning good and evil, without ascending in height, is untenable. How do we proceed now? I no longer engage in the game of discerning good and evil with demons, avoiding judgments of right and wrong, but instead, I turn back to elevate my spiritual height.

Rick Joyner's advice in The Final Quest is remarkably simple: ascend the mountain of the Lord, enter the temple of the God of Jacob. Ascending the mountain of the Lord entails climbing the mountains of truth, layer by layer. Turn away from the battlefield of discerning good and evil, and ascend to the spiritual peaks. Therefore, brothers and sisters, I am not engaging in empty rhetoric. We possess both practical examples and theoretical grounding.

If there are preachers among us learning, we encourage you to begin with foundational construction. You might assert that you are here to learn about casting out demons. However, elevating spiritual height is the key to exorcism. In many churches today, particularly Pentecostal churches, do not assume that being a Pentecostal church equates to victory. That is not necessarily the case. One brother remarked, We've done everything you're doing, and we're not impressed.

Was he successful? Not really. Why? Because one of his congregants, who had suffered from migraines for many years, couldn't find healing in the church for a long time. But this congregant's mother was among us, and her kidney cancer was healed. Seeing her mother's recovery, she also sought me for prayer, and subsequently, her migraines also disappeared. Her mother, seeing a young man blind in both eyes and feeling compassion, introduced him to me. Later, this young man's eyesight was restored, enabling him to return to work.

Therefore, we must recognise one thing: spiritual height must ultimately be measured by its ability to solve problems. If your spiritual height cannot resolve issues, it remains mere rhetoric. Later, I met his pastor, who had also received deliverance through my prayers. His pastor told me, I also do exorcisms and healings, and I did a lot of them, but eventually it didn't work out. What does this mean? Many have engaged in healing and exorcism, but without ascending to the spiritual peaks, they ultimately fall short. So, for those in Pentecostal churches, I offer a suggestion: carefully read Rick Joyner's The Final Quest. I did a quick search online for Rick Joyner's The Final Quest in electronic format, and someone commented underneath, What is this nonsense? It's all rubbish. Perhaps he doesn't understand, or perhaps he was speaking demonic words.

From that point onward, we both elevated our spiritual height and engaged in warfare. In the initial layers of ascending the spiritual peaks, the lower levels were named after aspects of truth, such as salvation, sanctification, prayer, and faith. These may be familiar to many, as traditional churches often discuss them. However, these are merely elementary levels. Being in the first few layers is difficult. Demons shoot arrows, and if a person climbs a mountain with their back to the demons, their back becomes like a hedgehog, riddled with arrows.

Concepts like salvation, sanctification, prayer, and faith are not very effective when facing demons. They were perplexed, and so was I, because I, too, was severely wounded by arrows like a hedgehog. I wondered, Why isn't God's word working? In reality, our God never fails. We must continue to climb, to begin to resemble Jesus. How many layers have we climbed, and where have we reached? It's all written in this book, and I've done it all, and I've experienced it all. I can tell you, if you are a preacher, I encourage you to read this book.

When we reach the level of brotherly unity, the enemy's arrows can no longer reach us. How wonderful is that! In the initial layers, there are many disputes and all sorts of messy things in the church. Later, we gradually understood a truth: God's word is truly good. At that time, ascending the spiritual peaks gradually made exorcism more and more effective.

Frankly, I'm not boasting, but we've written many Bible study books in just a few years, and what are they related to? They are all related to spiritual truth. For example, from Genesis to Revelation, we have written many books. God's revelation continues to come upon me, and God is pleased with us as we ascend the spiritual peaks! I understood that in the last days of truth, people will ascend the mountain of the Lord and enter the temple of the God of Jacob. We thought ascending the mountain meant going to Jerusalem, but ascending the mountain of the Lord is not about physical climbing, but about ascending spiritual truth. Someone asks, Isn't it about exorcism? Exorcism is the result of ascending the spiritual peaks.

After ascending, the force of striking the demonic enemy is extremely strong! That is to say, every time we ascend a layer, every time we climb a layer, the force of warfare is constantly increasing! You will find that our arrows never miss, always hitting the demonic enemy! As a result, a surge of anger, like a lake of burning sulphur, rises in the enemy's ranks. Demons begin to fight demons, which means that after you defeat a demon, it cannot give an account, so they fight internally. This is similar to people in companies in society. As we continue to climb, we reach a layer called Galatians 2:20.

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)

Brothers and sisters, this layer is truly wonderful! Don't forget, sharpening the knife doesn't waste the woodcutter's time! You must climb! Someone asks, Aren't you talking about exorcism? Exorcism and sharpening the knife are not contradictory! One day, I suddenly felt a very clear feeling in my understanding, a feeling that all the clouds and fog had dissipated, like seeing the sun after the clouds have cleared, with a very bright feeling inside. I suddenly realised that I had climbed to the layer of Galatians 2:20.

What Rick Joyner wrote in The Final Quest, we are all experiencing! I really think he is a prophet of this era! God had long ago told us through his books that the Bible does not contradict this. Many people like to listen to many things everywhere all day long, which is not very useful. What can this prove? Can it prove that you can cast out demons? Can it prove that you have power? Does the demon know who you are?

Some people attend this conference today and that conference tomorrow, and they are very busy. A few days ago, I met a younger brother who attended six conferences a week, but the result was not good. He had a great ability to make the church a mess, but he was too far away from building a glorious church and casting out demons. So we must begin to practice, both raising our height and fighting.

Climbing to the Mingding Destiny Layer

I named Galatians 2:20 the Mingding Destiny layer. That is, the one who lives now is no longer me, but Jesus Christ lives in me. If I live no longer for myself, but Jesus Christ lives in me, how united must this be with God! This is extraordinary, this is the Mingding Destiny! The apostle Paul wrote Galatians, in fact, for the Mingding Destiny. He had a Mingding Destiny, which was to preach the pure gospel, to set the captives free, to set the oppressed free. Do you know? It is difficult for a person with fear to preach the pure gospel. Look at the Apostle Paul, where is there any fear? It is not that he is not afraid, but when he is afraid, he deals with it and he overcomes it.

A person who cannot deny himself cannot effectively strike the demon. What is the key to imitating Jesus Christ? The key lies in Galatians 2:20, He loved me and gave Himself for me, and I live because of the Son of God. We believe in His Son Jesus Christ, who loved me and gave Himself for me. We must also walk His path!

We must know that it is more blessed to give than to receive! So do you want to have power? If you dream of it, then start living no longer for yourself. We have a saying in northeast China: we are not afraid of the stubborn, we are not afraid of the reckless, we are only afraid of those who do not value their lives! This is very interesting. Galatians 2:20, if you have the ability to fight, you must continue to climb. If you love yourself very much, how can you overcome? If you don't care so much about yourself, the final result is that you reach the level of Galatians 2:20 as the apostle Paul said, who are you afraid of?

God Has Prepared Training Partners for Us

What I am most grateful to God for is that God created demons! How strange this sounds! We know that whether it is playing ball or practicing boxing, there is a profession called sparring partner, and this sparring partner must be good enough! The salary of a sparring partner is very high. If you can be a sparring partner for a boxing champion, then you are great! His salary is half of yours, and half of his salary is yours. Today God created something called demons, you know?

God makes everything beautiful in its time, you know? Later, I found that everything includes demons. It turns out that God has prepared a sparring partner. Why? So that we can constantly receive the crown of glory while practicing. Without demons, it is difficult for you to grow. If you just read there all day long, you will eventually become a Pharisee. It's great to have a sparring partner! Today you may be a school athlete, and as you practice, you may be promoted to the city team, and then you will be promoted to the provincial team, and then you will be promoted to the national team, and then you will win an Olympic gold medal!

How did this gold medal come about? It is inseparable from this sparring partner! I tell you, God has prepared this demon for you, so practice well with the demon. Recently I like to watch boxing, like strangulation, like KO. I think it is good to practice well with ghosts, and the more you practice, the more capable you will become. There is a characteristic of exorcism, that is, if you drive away a small one, a larger one will come, and then you drive away the big one, and an even bigger one will come. You say how endless this is? No, that's how God arranged it.

Why is it getting harder and bigger? The bigger you get, the more you practice with the bigger ones. Today you drive away a smaller one and find that a bigger one has come. Don't think this is a bad thing, it's grace! Continue to practice, continue to kill it! Therefore, God wants us to grow into the fullness of the stature of Jesus Christ, so that we can completely kill the devil. Where to start, start practicing with small demons! Start practicing with colds and flu! God has prepared all the conditions so that we can draw on His promises so that we can receive the crown of glory.

I took a brother to see the fish, and he explained to me how the fish grow. He is an expert in fish farming. He told me that there is a word called appearance, this fish is worth tens of thousands of dollars, that fish is worth thousands of dollars, and this fish is worth a thousand dollars. I asked him how to look at this fish? Why didn't I see it? He said that this knowledge is great, you have to look at the scales of the fish. I listened for a long time and didn't understand, but I learned a word called appearance, that is, what it looks like is what it is like.

What is our appearance in God's eyes? If our appearance is good in God's eyes, then it is worth money! If we become rubbish in God's eyes, it's trouble! If we become that kind of precious thing in God's eyes, our God will sell everything He has and buy you to let you enter His kingdom. Brothers and sisters, we must know that entering the kingdom of God is a narrow gate, and not everyone can enter!

When I say this, I am afraid that you will discern good and evil again. If it is so difficult to enter, then forget it! In fact, if you have such an idea, you will not be victorious. Can you have a good appearance? Start by saying: God, the promises you have prepared for me are all mine! I will rely on you to fight and cast out demons! I thank you for sending a bigger ghost to be my sparring partner, I am going to upgrade! What is the temporary and light suffering today? I want to run this heavenly road in order to gain the crown of glory of extreme weight! Lord, I want to rise up to improve my knowledge of the truth! Lord, please terusly reveal to me so that I can know you more deeply, so that I can constantly practice while improving and become a powerful people who can gain this crown of glory!

Summary

Brothers and sisters, our generation will see God pouring out His Spirit on us like never before, and God will use us Chinese like never before. In our generation, God will manifest His glory through us like never before. Are you that vessel? If you are that vessel, then start to rise up, climb the mountain of the Lord in the last days, and enter the temple of the God of Jacob. Start gaining power from God, start relying on the Holy Spirit, and keep climbing forward by the Holy Spirit. You rely on the Holy Spirit when you are tired, and you still rely on the Holy Spirit when you are victorious. The Spirit of God is our strength, the Spirit of God is our salvation, and the Spirit of God is our guarantee of inheritance!

May God bless everyone!

讲道: 我和大家分享的题目是:属灵的高度决定了赶鬼的力道,这是赶鬼系列的第三讲。第一讲是《赶鬼的回报》,第二讲是《今天明天我赶鬼治病,第三天我的事就成全了》。我们逐渐形成了一套医治释放的理论体系,也可以叫做赶鬼的理论体系。这套赶鬼的理论体系,不但是附加的,而且形成了一个非常重要的观念,就是我们在哪里靠着神的灵赶鬼,哪里神的国就降临。所以赶鬼实际上是一个非常重要的观念,我们会继续前所未有的推动。

前一段时间,有一个姐妹,一直想要孩子,却一直不能生孩子,他的牧师就推荐她到我们当中。她来了之后,就跟着我们祷告。有一天,她猛然间感觉有某种东西降临在她身上,同时有某种东西从她身上出去了。结果就在那个时候,她怀孕了,现在孩子也一岁多了。 这个姐妹后来就在教会里成了全职同工,她对赶鬼非常感兴趣。她赶了一些鬼,有一些好使,但大部分都不太好使,她非常想去学习如何赶鬼。她的牧师就送她到一个做医治释放的机构去学习,学完了也不太有用。最近,她就来找我们,想学赶鬼,想学医治释放。 这问题在哪呢?问题就是一般的人喜欢学方法:你就告诉我吧!我知道怎么做就完了。但是方法不是关键,如果人常常注重方法的话,是抓不到本质的。只有抓住了事物的本质,掌握了事物的内在规律,你才能有效的做事情。所以我们常常说你要打好根基,根基才是关键。

那赶鬼和医治释放的根基到底是什么?关于赶鬼和医治释放的根基,我们逐渐形成了一套理论体系,这套理论体系都是从《圣经》里挖出来的。《圣经》白纸黑字写得明明白白,非常值得我们去探索!令我惊讶的是什么?很多人都读同一本《圣经》,读出来的却是不同的东西。 我就想和大家分享这属灵的高度,属灵的高度就是对神真理的认识。你对神真理的认识,决定了赶鬼的力道。也就是说,你来到我们当中要学习赶鬼,要学习医治释放,你很想像耶稣一样秒杀魔鬼的话,你必须要对神的话有很清楚的认识。它不是一个方法,它是对神真理的认识!赶鬼的本质问题就是属灵高度的问题。 过去这些年,我一直梦想着像耶稣,我是多么渴望像耶稣啊!耶稣一上来就秒杀,我怎么就整不了呢?这也不难理解,你想想看,如果你想练成世界级的拳击高手,那是很不容易的。那得经过很长时间的练习。你练了也不一定到那个高度,你不练就更不可能到了。你一直梦想着像耶稣,那你得有耶稣的那个高度才行。耶稣对灵界的认识,对魔鬼诡计的认识,那简直到了登峰造极、炉火纯青的地步。 如果我们今天梦想着像耶稣,那就要不断的攀登属灵的高峰,一直攀登到耶稣基督的那个高度。耶稣基督喝的杯,你能喝吗?耶稣基督付的代价,你能付吗?如果说你付不了,那就麻烦了。今天你对属灵世界和真理的认识,以及你能够付代价的程度,基本上决定了你能否像耶稣。

我看了一个帖子,感觉挺有趣的。至于写的这件事儿是不是有偏颇,我们暂且不讨论。帖子是这样写的:好些年前,有人读了孔子的《礼运大同篇》,讲到了博爱和天下为公,大道之行也,天下为公,选贤与能,讲信修睦。故人不独亲其亲,不独子其子,使老有所终,壮有所用,幼有所长……当时的人们觉得这是千年不朽的文化,是瑰宝。在民国的初年,教育部组织十二个中英文博士,加上几个政府外交部的官员,讨论了一周,定稿一个月,把《礼运大同篇》翻译成了英文: When the Great Way(or Principle) prevails, the whole is owned by all; they elect men of talents, virtue and ability; they practice honesty, and they cultivate universal peace. People love not only their own parents…… 爱因斯坦读了这段话,就怒气冲冲,他说人类这么单纯善良崇高的意念,怎么绕这么一大圈,讲这么多的废话。他接着说:people in here is for the sake of others.人们来到世上不单为自己而活,更是为别人而活。这些人讲了一大堆,耶稣基督用七个字:施比受更为有福,言简意赅就概括了。 我在讲什么呢?我在讲你梦想像耶稣,这事儿并不难。如果你能够像耶稣一样舍己,你就厉害了。最近我们在探讨神是信实的,人是虚谎的。我们发现神真的是信实的,我们的神道成肉身,来到这个世上,祂为我们舍己,并且流血牺牲,且钉死在十字架上,为我们一切的过犯付上了所有的代价,这是何等美好的事情! 所以我们弟兄姐妹,你梦想着像耶稣,真的愿意为基督而活,想做个赶鬼治病的高手,必须在理论上突破,必须攀登属灵的高峰,一直爬到《加拉太书》2章20节,这是一个非常高的高度,也是非常厉害的高度!如果做事做不成,就起来赶鬼。耶稣说:今天明天赶鬼,第三天我的事就成全了。其实赶鬼是个试金石,你光喊是没什么用的。我常说:是骡子是马拉出来遛遛,如果一遛就拉稀,肯定不行。

主耶稣,请你向我们说话,让我们每个弟兄姐妹开始从心里说,如今活着的不再是我,乃是耶稣基督在我的里面活着。让我们能够效法你,来奔跑这属天的道路。主啊,你如何得着荣耀的冠冕,我们也要如何得着。你如何舍己,我们也要如何舍己。主啊,赐下这样的心思意念,让我们里面有强烈的感动,来回应你的爱,甘心乐意把自己献上,成为这个世代的祝福!使我们能够成为这个世代的亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各、约瑟,成为你心中所喜悦的,成为这个世代完成你旨意的器皿!奉耶稣基督的名祷告,阿们!

这《加拉太书》的背景很有意思,使徒保罗为了耶稣基督纯正的福音,洋洋洒洒写了《加拉太书》。整本书不断流露出保罗当时为纯正的福音奋力拼争的情景。如果不是使徒保罗,我们今天所信的福音就不知道是什么样子了。幸亏神兴起了使徒保罗,他是为了福音的缘故将自己的所有都摆上,真的是很厉害! 保罗在写《加拉太书》的时候,他在教会的地位是非常的稳固,没有人能够动摇他,他在外邦人的教会里成了名副其实的领袖!那时候有一群人来到加拉太,传了一个不是福音的福音,其实今天也同样有人传不是福音的福音!传一个不是福音的福音,他能够得着啥呢?很奇怪不是吗?我也很奇怪,很多人读《圣经》,能读出很多别的东西来。 保罗发现加拉太人接受了很多奇怪的东西,就说: **我希奇你们这么快离开那籍着基督之恩召你们的,去从别的福音。那并不是福音,不过有些人搅扰你们,要把基督的福音更改了。但无论是我们,是天上来的使者,若传福音给你们,与我们所传给你们的不同,他就应当被咒诅。我们已经说了,现在又说,若有人传福音给你们,与你们所领受的不同,他就应当被咒诅。(《加拉太书》1:6-9)**

这事很有意思啊,保罗怎么确定他所传的是神的福音呢?因为神的灵给他做见证啊!保罗把这事说的很重,传错福音就应当被咒诅。今天我们可得小心,如果我们传的福音是那些到加拉太传的那些,就麻烦了啊!今天我们信耶稣,读《圣经》可得严谨。使徒保罗遇到的是什么人呢?应该是非常奇怪的人。保罗其实在好些年前就开始服侍,在服侍的过程当中遇到了极大的困难。当时很多人传一个不是福音的福音,他服侍的工作面临很大的挑战,而且他随时都有可能被人从教会里给赶出去。 **过了十四年,我同巴拿巴又上耶路撒冷去,并带着提多同去。我是奉启示上去的,把我在外邦人中所传的福音对弟兄们陈说,却是背地里对那有名望之人说的,惟恐我现在或是从前徒然奔跑。(《加拉太书》2:1-2)** 我们读到了什么?稍微对权利斗争有点认识的就会明白,保罗带着巴拿巴去耶路撒冷,是奉启示上去的,唯恐他当时或者之前所有的功夫都徒然奔跑,也就是说他差点被免职。那个时候他的地位还不牢固,耶路撒冷对所有外邦人的教会影响还是非常的深远,深远到什么程度呢?他们如果随时让保罗滚蛋,保罗就得滚蛋,他的服侍就会全然归于无有。 但是他奉启示上去发生了什么事呢?在《使徒行传》的15章,确立了使徒保罗在外邦人中的地位。同时没有勉强外邦人守摩西的律法,这本来就是纯正的福音,不需要守摩西的律法。结果又过了10年,保罗说:

**至于那些有名望的,不论他是何等人,都与我无干。神不以外貌取人。那些有名望的,并没有加增我什么。(《加拉太书》2:6)** 有名望的大概就是写《雅各书》的雅各,写《彼得前书》、《彼得后书》的彼得,还有写《约翰福音》的约翰。保罗的词句是铿锵有力的。接着他就提到了一件事就是,使徒彼得本来是耶稣基督的大门徒,后来到了安提阿,他有可责之处,从雅各那里来的人,未到以先他就和外邦人吃饭。从雅各那里的人来了以后,他就开始害怕,害怕奉割礼的人,他就与外邦人一同退去了,巴拿巴也随着装假。这简直就是要命啊!保罗就责备他们行的与福音的真理不合。说到这,我们看到了使徒保罗为了耶稣基督的福音,已经什么也不在乎了。 **我已经与基督同钉十字架,现在活着的不再是我,乃是基督在我里面活着;并且我如今在肉身活着,是因信神的儿子而活;他是爱我,为我舍己。(《加拉太书》2:20)** 保罗做这些事,他不知道危险么?他知道的。你想巴拿巴装假,使徒彼得装假,装假的人神也挺难用的 。后来我逐渐了解为什么神兴起了使徒保罗,因为保罗不玩假的啊!在教会里玩假的现象太多了。

我们接着往下看,从雅各这边来的人,彼得看见就装假。从雅各那边派出来的人走遍各个教会,至于哥林多教会也遇到了这些人,在《哥林多前书》4章19到20节。这些人从哪里来的?也没有说的那么清楚,大概是从雅各那里来的人,他们只会说。所以保罗写的《哥林多前书》和《加拉太书》很类似。 **然而,主若许我,我必快到你们那里去,并且我所要知道的,不是那些自高自大之人的言语,乃是他们的权能。 因为神的国不在乎言语,乃在乎权能。(《哥林多前书》 4:19-20)** 使徒保罗谈到的这个权能,就是指神迹奇事随着保罗,也就是说使徒保罗在医病赶鬼这方面绝对是很厉害的,他可以服侍的很到位。那些自高自大的人只会说,不会做,一到了是骡子是马,拉出来溜溜的时候,他们就拉稀,就不行,干不了活,上不了套。但是使徒保罗不仅会说,他也能做。 大家可以琢磨一下,法利赛人比耶稣能说啊,但是能说的人不一定能行啊,你得能干啊。神的国不在乎言语,乃在乎权能啊,权能就是赶鬼治病。《加拉太书》讲的这段话和使徒保罗在《哥林多前书》讲的这段话都是为了神纯正的福音讲的。

纯正的福音是什么呢?就是权能。如果一个牧师所传的福音还比不上一个巫师所传的,那你传的福音不过是一个理论,那没太大用。你以为那是得救,但谁知道是不是得救?按着《加拉太书》的说法,不传保罗所传的大有能力的福音,那要受咒诅!如果把咒诅还当做为神受苦,岂不是要搞得天下大乱,那是葫芦搅茄子,整的是一锅粥啊! 所以我们要除去耶稣基督里这种信仰的迷思和污秽。我们信耶稣就要信的像耶稣,拥有耶稣基督所赐的权能,因为神已经把天国的钥匙赐给了我们。就是要效法耶稣,效法保罗!那回报是何等的高啊!不能赶鬼的基督徒,那多吃亏啊!耶稣基督也好,使徒保罗也好,他们赶鬼的力度是非常的强,那是明明的看见神与耶稣基督、使徒保罗同在,连鬼也知道。

鬼知道耶稣是谁,也知道保罗是谁啊,在《使徒行传》的第19章15节,有一个祭司长的几个儿子在那里赶鬼,他们觉得赶鬼挺好玩,结果赶着赶着碰到一个很厉害的鬼。这鬼就开口说话了:耶稣我认识啊,保罗我也知道啊,但你们是谁我就不知道。结果就跳到祭司长儿子们的身上,把他们衣服都扒光了,让他们满大街的跑,最后他们就都疯掉了。 **那时,有几个游行各处、念咒赶鬼的犹太人,向那被恶鬼附的人擅自称主耶稣的名,说:我奉保罗所传的耶稣敕令你们出来!做这事的,有犹太祭司长士基瓦的七个儿子。恶鬼回答他们说:耶稣我认识,保罗我也知道。你们却是谁呢?恶鬼所附的人就跳在他们身上,胜了其中二人,制伏他们,叫他们赤着身子受了伤,从那房子里逃出去了。(使徒行传 19:13-16 和合本)**

鬼还真的知道你是谁,你在鬼的眼里是谁,这很重要,不然怎么会有权能呢?我在赶鬼的时候,鬼常常说,碰到你真倒霉。那鬼碰到你,他会不会说真倒霉呢?这就要看鬼知不知道你是谁了。我前面讲《加拉太书》的背景,使徒保罗他像耶稣,鬼也知道,人也知道。因为他攀登到了山的顶峰,如今活着的不再是我,乃是耶稣基督在我里面。 这是一个属灵的高度,你要是想做耶稣基督,要做使徒保罗,你得攀登。你在攀登的过程当中,一定会发现一件事,鬼知道你是谁。你读《三国演义》,我们会发现关羽的形象是非常清晰的,他过五关,斩六将,诛文丑,斩颜良,取敌人首级如同囊中取物,这是搏杀出来的,不得了!如果再有人遇到关羽,与他打仗,一定会吓破了胆子。像耶稣一样秒杀魔鬼,是在辛苦当中不断地攀登属灵的高峰,在跟魔鬼不断地争战当中练出来的。我跟大家说一下我的心得,赶鬼的这件事,我从来没有放下过一个,只要是遇到我的,我一定会把它干掉。

我曾经遇到过一个教会的领袖,有一次,他和他老婆参加一个特别的讲座,她的老婆突然脚疼得嗷嗷叫。这对夫妻的牧者也在现场,看到这样的状况居然视若无睹,跟没看到一样,这样的牧者很多啊,但我看不下去了。我就跟他老婆说:如果今天上完研讨会之后,你需要我为你祷告,可以随时打给我。 结果半夜1点钟她打给我,我就带着她祷告到3点,最后她的疼痛消失了。祷告完我也有点开心,我想她和她老公应该有点改变吧?但没想到第二天的时候,我问这个弟兄,昨天带着你老婆祷告,是不是打扰到你睡觉了?他说:没有,没有,谢谢你!但是啊,你应该求的是这个!他就用手指头啪的打了一个响指,意思是啪的一下就把魔鬼干掉,疼痛一下就消失了。 人都想啪的一下把魔鬼干掉,但人就是不想从三个小时,两个小时这样祷告中练出来。我回想过去走过来的路,那全是辛苦啊,那全是练出来的。我们经常遇到几天几夜的争战。有一个姐妹,经常发烧,来了又退,退了又来;有一个做完痔疮手术,祷告好了又来,来了再祷告。祷告好了,她休息了,我又接着干活。她一疼,我又接着起来了,都是几天几夜的争战啊! 感谢神,现在我们当中的很多领袖都干这事。最近有一个姐妹的家族正在经历一场极大的争战!这反映在她的身体上,我们当中的这些领袖都是极其的认真,排了祷告的时间表,几天几夜连轴转地带她祷告。晚上就睡那么个把小时,但我看他们特别精神,因为像耶稣啊!所有的秒杀都是从苦战来的!

你说你想像耶稣,你得像到根上啊!那个时候我就开启了一条像耶稣的路。耶稣付没付代价?耶稣付的代价你能付得起么?耶稣付的代价很深啊!所以我们今天付的这点代价算个啥啊?我们开启像耶稣的路,刚开始我们像吗?一丁点儿都不像啊,那怎么办呢? 我们开启了一条攀登属灵高峰的路,不断的打击魔鬼仇敌,过五关斩六将,诛颜良斩文丑,那是杀出来的。今天我们经常跟高端的鬼对战,这样练出来那多好!我写了一本书《像耶稣基督一样做医治释放》,其实就是像耶稣一样赶鬼治病。医治释放这词有点儿温柔,其实应该改成《像耶稣基督一样做赶鬼治病》! 我的这本书卖得特别好,建议大家都买一本来读。这书没写的时候,我妈还没得老年痴呆,这书写完之后,我妈就得老年痴呆了,我就照着这书继续干下去,结果她的老年痴呆好了。你别以为那是个例,在我手中所经历的,全都得了医治。将来我会写一系列像耶稣的书,《像耶稣一样牧养》,《像耶稣一样得胜》,《像耶稣一样明白神的心意》,《像耶稣一样与神同行》,《像耶稣一样舍己》......就这么干下去,你觉得鬼还知不知道你是谁啊,鬼肯定知道你是谁。

好些年前,有一个小女孩,她十几岁就出去打工,十八九岁就得了很严重的病。她通过互联网找到了我,同时筹集了几十万的钱到北京看病,结果不看还好,一看就每况愈下啊!那个肿瘤本来像一个鸡蛋一样大,后来就变成拳头了,再后来就变成了鹅蛋那么大。经过一段时间,鹅蛋又变成大菜花,就那样长在肚子上。我们那个时候其实还很荒凉,但每一天的夜里都有人单独带着她祷告,一直到她睡着,因为当时她很疼很辛苦。 经过两个月的祷告服侍,她像菜花一样大的瘤子缩小了。我想这么继续下去,不就好了吗?不就要开始过蒙福的日子了吗?那就得从奉献开始,我还没让她舍己,没让她舍命呢,就让她做个十一奉献,这小孩想了想,就没做十一奉献。 那她的钱是从哪来的呢?她的钱其实是我的粉丝们奉献给她的,大家听说我怎么服侍,他们就奉献给她。大家千万不要用钱解决问题,用钱解决问题那不叫高手,结果怎么样呢?人家说我要离开教会,离开之后就被鬼给干掉了。过了一段时间,我给她妈妈打电话,她妈妈说死了。所以我想,鬼是知道你是谁的,鬼要是知道你是这个小孩的话,那干掉你是太容易了。 但如果鬼知道你是我这样的人,鬼知道你是像耶稣这样的人,像使徒保罗这样的人,你觉得怎么样呢?我告诉你,那鬼撒腿就跑了。如果你不像耶稣,不像使徒保罗,你得开始练啊!如果你觉得魔鬼知道你不行,那你就得开始练。我妈得老年痴呆的那些年,鬼就常常说话:你不在我跟前,我就来!鬼不怕我姐姐,那我就得整天守在我妈旁边,我就日日夜夜的守着。后来,我姐姐也厉害了,也开始练,最后鬼也怕了她,这不就容易了吗?到了现在,鬼连我妈也怕了。 所以咱们弟兄姐妹,都要开始提升属灵的高度,要让鬼知道你是谁!

我跟很多人一样,开始提升属灵高度的时候,也很辛苦。直到今天,我看到很多教会的光景也不过如此,屡战屡败。比如说,人进了精神病院以后,把鬼赶出去,让人得着释放,这样的事也有,但总是功亏一篑。比如像下棋,偶尔也吃对方一个卒,啃对方一个炮什么的,到了最后,就差一步的时候输了。下棋不用差很多步,只一步输了就输了。 在绝望当中我就寻求神,那眼泪流的简直了!后来神告诉我去读《末日决战》。这书我读了不知道多少遍了,也没有读明白。后来我再一次打开这本书,打开以后,真的是豁然开朗!我看到提高属灵高度是争战得胜的关键,我意识到,之前在识别善恶的战场上,跟魔鬼争战到头破血流,不提升高度是不行的。现在如何呢?我不跟魔鬼玩识别善恶,不分辨谁对谁错,掉头回来提高属灵高度。 雷克乔纳在《末日决战》中给我的建议非常简单,攀登耶和华的山,进雅各神的殿。攀登耶和华的山就是攀登一层一层真理的山。从识别善恶的战场上回转,攀登属灵的高峰。所以弟兄姐妹,我不是空谈,我们既有实际的例子,也有理论的高度。

如果有传道人在我们当中学习,我们鼓励你从根基建造开始。可能你会说我是来学赶鬼的,那提高属灵的高度就是赶鬼的关键。今天在很多教会当中,尤其是灵恩教会,大家不要以为灵恩教会就得胜,那不一定。有个弟兄就说:哎呀,你做的我们都做过,我们都不稀得做了。 他做的好不好呢?他做的不怎么样,为啥呢?因为他有一个会友,得了很多年的偏头疼,在教会当中很长一段时间都得不着医治。但这个会友的妈妈在我们当中,她妈妈的肾癌好了,她看到她妈妈好了,也来找我祷告,后来她的偏头疼也好了。她妈妈看到一个双目失明的小伙子,看他很可怜,就把这个小伙子介绍给我。后来这个小伙子的眼睛也恢复正常了,能上班了,也能工作了。 所以我们必须知道一件事,属灵的高度最后还得要看能否解决问题。你属灵的高度不能解决问题,最后也是空谈。后来,我见到他的牧师,他牧师也是我祷告得了释放的。他的牧师对我说:赶鬼治病我也干,而且还干很多,后来就不行。什么意思呢?其实很多人都做过医病赶鬼,但是没有攀登属灵的高峰,最后就功亏一篑。所以做灵恩教会的,我给你一个建议,仔细去读雷克乔纳的《末日决战》。我在网上稍微搜了一下雷克乔纳的《末日决战》,是电子版的,结果有人在底下留言:这是什么东西,乱七八糟的,胡说八道。他或许不明白,或许说了鬼话。

从那个时候开始,我们就一边提升属灵的高度,一边争战。我们在攀登属灵高峰的头几层,也就是在较低的几个层次,都是用真理的名字命名的,有救恩、成圣、祷告、信心,这些可能大家很熟悉了,传统教会经常讲的。但这不过是很初级的层次。处在头几层是很惨的,魔鬼射箭,如果人爬山,背对着魔鬼,用东北话形容,后背就像是刺猬一样,很惨。 像救恩、成圣、祷告、信心面对魔鬼不太有用。他们很困惑,我当时也很困惑,因为我也像刺猬一样被箭伤得很惨。我很纳闷:这神说的话怎么不好使呢?其实,我们的神从来没有不好使的,我们要不断地攀登,开始像耶稣。那攀登了几层,攀登到哪了呢?这书里都写了,我都照着做了,也都经历了。我可告诉大家,你如果是一个传道人,我鼓励你就去读这本书。 当我们达到弟兄合一这个阶层的时候,敌人的箭就再也射不到我们了,那多好啊!在头几层的时候,教会里的纷争以及各种各样乱七八糟的事很多。后来我们就逐渐的明白一个真理,神的话真好。在那个时候攀登属灵的高峰,逐渐的,赶鬼就越赶越厉害。

说句实在话,我也不是吹嘘自己,我们短短几年写了很多本查经的书,跟什么有关呢?都是跟属灵的真理有关。比如说从《创世记》到《启示录》,我们写了很多本。神的启示不断地临到我,我们在攀登属灵高峰的时候,神喜悦我们啊!我就明白了在真理末后的日子,人们要登耶和华的山,进雅各神的殿。我们以为登山是去耶路撒冷,其实登耶和华的山不是登山,是攀登属灵的真理。有人问不是赶鬼吗?赶鬼就是攀登属灵高峰之后的结果。 登高之后,打击魔鬼仇敌的力度非常强!也就是说,我们每上一层,每攀登一层,争战的力道都在不断的增强!你会发现我们箭无虚发,都射中魔鬼仇敌!结果在敌军当中,就涌起一股如硫磺火湖似的愤怒。魔鬼开始和魔鬼打仗,就是你把魔鬼打败了以后,魔鬼没法交差,它们就在内部打,这跟社会上的人在企业里差不多。当我们不断攀登,就攀登到一层叫《加拉太书》的2章20节。 **我已经与耶稣基督同钉十字架,现在活着的不再是我,乃是耶稣基督在我里面活着。并且我如今在基督里活着是因信神的话语而活,叫你们因信神的儿子而活,祂是爱我的,为我舍己。(《加拉太书》2:20)** 弟兄姐妹,这一层是真的好啊!大家不要忘了,磨刀不费砍柴功!你一定要攀登!有人问:你不是说赶鬼吗?赶鬼与磨刀不矛盾!有一天,我突然在悟性上感觉到一种非常通透的感觉,这种感觉就是一切的愁云浓雾全都散开,像拨云见日一般,里面有一种非常透亮的感觉。我突然间意识到我已经攀登到了《加拉太书》的2章20节的这一层。

雷克乔纳在《末日决战》里写的,我们都在经历!我真的觉得他是这个时代的先知!神早就透过他写的书告诉我们,《圣经》跟这个不矛盾。很多人整天喜欢到处听很多的东西,那没什么太大用,这能证明啥呢?证明你赶得了鬼吗?证明你有能力吗?鬼认识你是老几吗? 有一些人今天参加这个特会,明天参加那个特会,忙得一塌糊涂。前几天我认识一个小弟兄,一个礼拜参加六场特会,结果也不怎么样,把教会搞得乌烟瘴气的本事可大了,建造荣耀的教会,把鬼赶出去,那真的是差太远了。所以我们要开始操练,一边提升自己的高度,一边争战。

《加拉太书》的2章20节,我命名为命定层。就是如今活着的不再是我,乃是耶稣基督活在我里面。如果我活着不再是为我活着,活着的不再是我,而是耶稣基督在我里面,你说这与神得多合一啊!这不得了啊,这是命定!使徒保罗写《加拉太书》,实际上是为了命定,他有一个命定,就是传纯正福音的命定,释放被掳的,释放被压制的。你知道么?一个人如果有惧怕,很难传纯正的福音。你看使徒保罗,哪里有惧怕啊?他不是说不怕,而是怕的时候,他对付掉了,他就得胜。 一个不能够舍己的人,是不能够有效的打击魔鬼的。效法耶稣基督的关键在哪里呢?关键在于《加拉太书》2章20节,祂是爱我,为我舍己,我活着是因神的儿子而活。我们相信祂的儿子耶稣基督,祂是爱我,为我舍己的。我们也要走祂的路! 我们一定要知道施比受更为有福!所以你想不想有能力?如果做梦都想,那你就开始不再为自己而活。我们东北有一句话:不怕横的,不怕楞的,就怕不要命的!这话挺有意思。《加拉太书》2章20节,如果你有争战的能力,就得不断攀登。如果你很爱自己,你怎么得胜?你不那么在乎自己,最后的结果就是达到了使徒保罗所说的《加拉太书》2章20节这样的层次,你还怕谁呢?

我最感谢神的,就是神创造了魔鬼啊!这话怎么听起来这么怪呢?我们知道打球也好,练拳也好,有一种职业叫陪练,这陪练得够水平才行!陪练的薪水是很高的,如果你能做到拳击冠军的陪练,那你就厉害了!他的薪水是你的一半,他的一半是你的。今天神创造了一个东西叫做魔鬼,你知道吗? 神造万物,各按其时,成为美好,你知道吗?后来,我发现万物里头包括魔鬼,原来神预备了一个陪练,为什么呢?好让我们在练的时候不断的得着荣耀的冠冕。没有魔鬼,你很难成长的。你光在那里整天读啊读,最后就成了法利赛人。有陪练,那多好啊!今天你可能是个校队的运动员,练着练着你可能升到市队,慢慢你就升到省队,后来又到了国家队,再后来就拿了奥林匹克金牌! 这金牌怎么来的呢?离不开这个陪练啊!我告诉你,神给你预备的这个魔鬼,就好好跟魔鬼练。我最近喜欢看拳击,什么绞杀,什么KO,我觉得跟鬼好好练,越练你就会越有能力。赶鬼有一个特性,就是你赶走一个小的,来了一个大点的了,接着你把那个大的赶走了,又来了一个更大点的。你说这怎么没完没了啊?不是的,神就是这么安排的。 怎么越来越难,越来越大了?你越长越大,不就跟大点儿的练嘛。今天你赶走了一个小点的,发现又来了一个大点的,你别觉得这是什么坏事,那是恩典啊!接着练,接着干掉它!所以,神要使我们长成满有耶稣基督的身量,可以彻底秒杀魔鬼。从哪里开始,就从小的魔鬼开始练!从伤风感冒开始练!神预备了所有的条件,可以让我们支取祂的应许,好让我们得着荣耀的冠冕。

我带着一个弟兄去看鱼,他给我解释鱼是怎么成长的,他是养鱼的高手。他就跟我说,有一个词叫品相,这条鱼值几万块,那条鱼值几千块,这条鱼值一千块。我问他这鱼是怎么看的呢?我咋没看出来呢?他说这学问大了,要看鱼的鳞。我听了半天也没明白,但是我学到了一个词叫做品相,就是这东西长得怎么样就是怎么样。 我们在神眼里的品相是什么呢?如果我们在神眼里的品相好,那就值钱!如果我们在神的眼里成为垃圾,那就麻烦了!如果我们在神的眼里成为那种名贵的,我们的神就会变卖一切所有的把你买来,让你进到祂的国度里。弟兄姐妹们,我们可得知道,进到神的国度里,那是一个窄门,不是什么人都可以进去的! 我这么一说,怕你又识别善恶了,这么难进就算了吧!其实,你如果有这样的想法,本身就不得胜。能不能够有点好的品相?开始起来说:神啊,你为我预备的应许都是我的!我就是要靠着你来争战赶鬼!我感谢你派来一个大一点的鬼做我的陪练,我要升级了!今天这至暂至轻的苦楚算得了什么呢?我要为得着极重无比荣耀的冠冕来奔跑这属天的道路。主啊,我要起来提升对真理的认识!主啊,请你不断的启示我,让我能够更深的认识你,让我能够一边提升一边不断的操练,成为大有能力的百姓,可以得着这荣耀的冠冕!

弟兄姐妹,我们这一代要看见神前所未有的倾倒祂的灵在我们身上,神要前所未有的使用我们华人,就是在我们这一代,神要前所未有的透过我们彰显祂的荣耀。你是不是那一个器皿呢?如果你是那一个器皿,就开始起来,在末后的日子攀登耶和华的山,进雅各神的殿。开始得着从神而来的能力,开始依靠圣灵,靠着圣灵不断的向前攀登。你在疲倦的时候依靠圣灵,在得胜的时候仍然依靠圣灵,神的灵就是我们的力量,神的灵就是我们的拯救,神的灵就是我们得基业的凭据! 愿神祝福大家!
