【Course】The Second Global Online Seminar - How to Study the Bible, Lesson 3 - Removing the Confusion in Faith, Part I

2019-12-06 20,139 Second Workshop - How to Study the Bible Spiritual Warfare Faith Healing Holy Spirit Baptism Tongues Praying in Tongues

Introduction

Brothers and sisters, greetings. This is the third lecture of our second Global Bible Online Study Group. I am very happy to be able to discuss with you. We have already had two lectures, mainly on How to Read the Bible. Those who have heard me share will feel that what I say is relatively practical. In fact, it is not only practical, but also in line with the Bible, because my sharing hardly brings more confusion. I hope to effectively clear up the confusion within us.

If you are even more confused after listening to my sharing, then let me tell you why. It is not my sharing that has brought you confusion, because this confusion was already inside you. Maybe there is a pile of things inside you that you have not examined. If what I share is incompatible with the confused faith and system inside you, then the confusion will manifest within you.

I encourage you not to stay here, but to carefully examine the Bible to see if what the Bible says is true or not. If you need to carefully compare it with the Word of God, then carefully compare it with the Word of God and clean up the things inside you. I encourage you to examine the Bible carefully with an open mind. What we need to deal with are those confusing things.

Many people now receive teachings in the church that are different from what the Bible says. For example, What the Bible says is outdated. Look, Song Shangjie is dead, so God is not a God of healing. Be careful, don't ask for the Holy Spirit, because evil spirits will come. Be careful not to be deceived by their sharing. They always like to release some strange things. Is it really that easy for people to be deceived? They are deceived because they do not understand the Word of God at all.

If we distort the Word of God all day long, then that in itself is a deception. Many people have bad habits and do not understand them or care, and continue to do so confusedly. They believe in Jesus confusedly, and listen to what others say without carefully examining it. With such confusion, lies become truth over time, and confusion becomes normal. They do not seek or want to seek, thinking that they will not get anything if they seek, which itself is not in line with the Bible.

God says, Seek and you will find. Therefore, I encourage everyone to seek carefully. Don't be afraid. Seeking, practicing, and exploring will always lead to knowing God, because our God has been waiting there for a long time. As long as you seek, you will surely find. What we are talking about today, Chinese Mingding Destiny, is not just for us Chinese. If you are Korean, then it is Korean Mingding Destiny, Korean Destiny Theology; if you are American, then it is American Mingding Destiny. This seeking is very important.

Why do we call it Mingding? Why is Mingding so important? Some people leave me messages asking what this is, thinking it is a new theological system. Today, I will tell you that the foundation of this new theological system is what I mentioned in the previous two lectures: first, to act on God's Word after reading it; second, to read into God's heart. When you begin to have a rigorous attitude towards God's Word in your heart, it will definitely remove the confusion in us. Today, we will begin the third lecture, Removing the Confusion Inside.

We live and then die. Is that all there is to life? Many people don't care. In fact, you can observe and seek carefully, and you will come to a conclusion similar to what is said in Ecclesiastes: Life is vanity of vanities. If you do not come to the conclusion of vanity, you will be bound by the things of the world. The more you care, the more unhappy you will live. In fact, the most important thing in life is to be happy, to live with a very comfortable and beautiful feeling, but many people want to live well but end up living badly, because they do not understand!

In the Bible, there is a man named Abraham. This man was very rich. When he was alive, he saw people being born and dying, so he kept searching for the meaning of life. He was very painful inside, but when he began to seek, God spoke to him, which is the content of Genesis chapter 12, verses 1 to 3.

The God we believe in today is the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. They are all people who seek God and seek truth. What was Abraham seeking? It was to get out of this empty life. If you get out of the empty life, will you get depression? Will you get cancer? No, you won’t.

If a person cannot get out of the empty life, takes these things too seriously, and then lives in entanglement every day, feeling uncomfortable if they don't take advantage of things, then such a person deserves to be uncomfortable, because they always feel that they have gained too little.

Today, our Destiny Theology starts from Genesis chapter 12, verses 1 to 3. In fact, when God created Adam and Eve on earth, He had already given them a destiny, which was to be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth, and manage it well. Later, Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and as a result, they lost this destiny. They should have managed the earth well, but they fell into distinguishing between good and evil. Their marriage was also the first marriage in human history, and they did not do a good job of managing the earth.

If we Christians are full of confusion inside, we should seek like Abraham and gain a meaning for living. If you don't know where the meaning of living is, and you live every day just to make money, and you still feel very tired, then the final result is a tragic life. Early on, when I was a Christian, I was full of confusion inside. I read the Bible every day and found that what was written inside was different from life. Later, after becoming a pastor, the confusion increased, but it was precisely this confusion that drove me to seek what God's Word was saying.

In fact, the devil is especially afraid of people seeking. If, in the process of your seeking, people turn you into a heretic, what should you do? In fact, the Bible never says that people who seek will become heretics. Only those driven by their own desires can become heretics. Today, the biggest confusion in the church is that it is different from what is in the Bible. We must all read the Bible carefully and restore every word that comes from the mouth of God. If we do not understand everything that comes from the mouth of God, then aren't we a tragedy?

The Confusion of God's Promises

In fact, things that are different from what is in the Bible are happening among us. The promises that the God in the Bible gives us are faithful. Our God's promises are faithful in Jesus Christ, but today we often see that God's promises are not fulfilled. Can we not be confused? But some people say, That's just the way it is! For example, some people take an airplane, but the airplane cannot fly, and they say that's just the way airplanes are! Isn't that ridiculous? Some pastors and pastor's wives get depression and wonder why God doesn't heal them. They give themselves an explanation: It turns out that God no longer heals, and getting sick is God's will. But that's not what the Bible says!

After I became a pastor, I often did healing and deliverance, and many people were healed by me. One person brought his good friend, who had been a Christian since childhood, but ten years ago he got throat cancer. After chemotherapy, he survived, but he couldn't eat. He could only insert a tube into his stomach and inject liquid food into it, and he had been doing this for ten years. When he came to me, his wife also had cancer, and their children were only ten years old. This is a tragedy! I began to share God's Word with him, but they couldn't listen to it at all.

This traditional theological system is very hateful, hindering people from receiving God's promises. So, today, have God's promises been abolished, or have people not received God's promises? My own view is that if the Bible says that God's promises are all 'Amen' in Jesus Christ, then we should know that we haven't done it right and start doing it right.

The confusion brought about by God's promises is not small. For example, By His stripes we are healed. This sentence is written in black and white in the Bible, but many people say, We are not healed because Jesus no longer heals. Listen to how confusing this reasoning is!

Some pastors say when they are still healthy, The disease you have is God's grace. Then God says, Is it okay if I give you this grace? Later, when this pastor gets cancer, who does he look for? You say that you serve people like this, saying such distorted words of God, how can you not incur God's wrath? God's promises never fail.

Can we stand on this position today? Start to straighten out the problems one by one according to God's Word. We must know that all problems come from keeping and not keeping God's Word diligently. Diligently keeping and obeying will surely be blessed, and not keeping and obeying will surely be cursed. How is the blessing in Deuteronomy chapter 28 described? What you bear from your body and from your livestock, you will be blessed in your going out and coming in. How good these words are! But some people say after reading it that this is the Old Testament. I wonder if these people don't want these good words? If everything you do is not blessed, you must examine whether you have diligently kept and obeyed God's Word.

God loves us, and God loves us unconditionally, but God's blessings are conditional. I often see that God's promises never fail, and I often stand in such a position to seek. Later, I discovered that God said to Abraham, I have given you every place where the sole of your foot treads. Later, I read Exodus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The result of reading is that the promised land has been given to Abraham and Abraham's descendants. Why can't later people stroll in? Why do Moses and Joshua have to fight with swords and guns? Why can't they blow a breath and destroy them all, and then stroll in?

But in fact, it cannot be done according to my wishes, because the Bible says that if you do not fight, you will not get the promised land, and as a result, all the people who wandered in the wilderness died. Because God originally wanted the people of Canaan to drive in and kill those people, and then they could get the promised land. As a result, those people were afraid of fighting, and God let them die in the wilderness. Here, God's promise still did not fail. Those who believed would receive it. Finally, Joshua and Caleb both received it.

When you start reading Numbers, you will find that it starts by talking about how many people over twenty years old can fight. It turns out that the constantly repeated words in Numbers is to tell us that only those who can fight count, and those who cannot fight will die in the wilderness. God's promise never fails. But later I came to a conclusion: If you cannot fight and win, you cannot get the promised land. Even if God has prepared the promised land for you, you must have the courage to fight, to trample on the devil and the enemy, and to receive God's promises.

Is there still confusion about God's promises? How many churches are really fighting today? They are all churches that boil soup, eat, drink, and have fun. There are not many churches that fight. Our church advocates fighting against the evil spirits in the air, and as a result, there are many people who are healed. Many are believers who cannot be healed. After hearing about what God has done among us, they contacted us. We led them in prayer, and after receiving healing and deliverance, those who were willing to walk with us stayed, and those who were unwilling to walk with us went back to their own churches. Is the confusion of God's promise still a confusion? It is no longer a confusion.

Brothers and sisters, Chinese Mingding Destiny is a system for solving confusion. After listening to it, you will find, oh, so that's how it is! Today, we will rise up and fight, and fighting requires a church, because the church is God's army. We read the Bible carefully, and in Exodus, it is written:

On the very day the four hundred and thirtieth year was completed, all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt.(Exodus 12:41)

Why doesn't it say the Lord's house, or the Lord's children. But it says that the Lord's army came out of Egypt. It turns out that the army is an important part of God's kingdom. If you do not receive the promise, it is not that God's promise has failed, but that we have not fought according to God's Word. How can we receive the promised land if we do not fight?

Today, many people have many doctrines of waiting on God. Wait and wait, and you will slowly wait in the wilderness. I can only say, Good luck! We have been praying incessantly in these past years. On all public holidays in Singapore, we take them out for fasting and prayer, completely trampling on the devil and the enemy, fighting victoriously, and receiving the promise.

The Confusion of Sickness Not Being Healed

When sickness is not healed, people try every means to find reasons to explain why God did not heal. Their conclusions are very interesting. In fact, their conclusions cannot be found in the Bible. They say, God gave him this disease as a disguised blessing. How can I not find such words in the Bible?

The matter of disease not being healed is not recorded in the Bible. When a person came to Jesus and said, Lord, open my eyes, Jesus did not open his eyes, and then said, His eyes are for the glory of God. What kind of words are these? That's not what the Bible says.

The Bible does record that when the blind came, their eyes were opened. When his disciples saw it, they said, Is this blind man blind because of his own sin or because of the sin of his ancestors? Jesus said, It is not because of sin, but so that God may be glorified. As a result, his blind eyes could see. God was glorified when this blind man could see.

Today we must know that God is glorified when diseases are healed. We must read the Bible well today. The first two lectures said that you must imitate Jesus. How Jesus did it, we will do it; if we don't do it like Jesus, we will work hard to do it. The confusion of diseases not being healed is still quite common. For example, this person was healed. They think that some people are healed and some are not. But when I examine the Bible, Jesus healed all those who came to him, healing all kinds of diseases. Jesus went through all the towns and villages, preaching the gospel and healing all kinds of diseases. This is what the Bible says.

Some people say: That's Jesus, I'm not Jesus. Don't we need to emulate Jesus? Jesus said that what He did, we also have to do, and we have to do even greater things. I also want to do greater things than Jesus, because this is Jesus' command. The matter of healing diseases is very interesting. Why? Because disease itself is the work of the devil. Today, to overcome the devil and the enemy, healing diseases is not a very difficult thing. We should also go through all the towns and villages, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of heaven and healing all kinds of diseases. These are all words that the Bible says. If you take away the matter of Jesus healing diseases, what is Jesus? Jesus is a carpenter.

Healing diseases brings a lot of confusion to many people. Why is there so much confusion? Because people don't believe in God's Word. The Bible says that those who come to the church are all healed. You can look carefully at the Book of Acts, Matthew, Luke, John, and Mark, and you will find that the church should be like this, all diseases are healed.

In the process of serving, some people came with confusion, a little provocation, saying, When you pray, are they all healed? I found these words very interesting, and I said, Oh, there is one who is not healed. He asked me, Really? I said, Really. Who is that person? I said, It's you! Think about it, if the Bible says that some are healed and some are not, what would be the result? I will tell you that the result is that many people are not healed, because they think they are the ones who are not healed. But the Bible clearly says that all are healed. Today, let's believe these words, run forward, and then you will see a lot of people being healed.

There is one thing that cannot be healed, which is when a person's time to die has come. We can't stop the person whose death has come. We must never think that we can solve the problem when a person's death has come. If you are Hezekiah, God will give you fifteen more years of life. If a person pleases God, it is also very good. But I can't wait to leave the world early and be with the Lord. You will think that this person is so strange? Why? Because I think being with the Lord is incomparably good. I don't covet living one more day or one less day in this world. I live one day and serve one day, serving our God and being a blessing to others.

From the Bible, if this thing is a truth, it can be done every time. For example, Newton's law of universal gravitation, no matter what, when the satellite is running in orbit, the calculation result is definitely like this. Because Newton's law has been controlling these moving objects, running in celestial bodies. Newton's law is the law of a thing. If what we do sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, then something is wrong. For example, the switch of a lamp, sometimes it is on and sometimes it is off, and when you turn on the switch again, sometimes it is not on and sometimes it is on again. That is a bad switch. For example, a calculator, we press: 1+2=3, but sometimes 1+2=4, or =5, the calculator is a bad calculator and cannot be used.

If truth is truth, it must be verified every time. For example, Newton's law of universal gravitation, no matter what, every time the orbit runs, the calculation result is definitely the same. Newton's law of universal gravitation has been controlling the operation of celestial bodies. Therefore, this is the law of things. If it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, then something is wrong. For example, a switch, when you turn it on, the light comes on, and when you turn it off, the light goes off. When you turn it on again, it doesn't light up. This is a bad switch. If a calculator calculates 1+1 equals 3, this is a bad one. We must know that truth is exclusive, and truth is repeatable, not random.

Today, medical treatment is a problem. Many people believe in medicine and believe in medical treatment, I understand. Some people have no other choice. Who do you look for if you are sick if you don't look for a hospital? However, it is a very interesting thing when doctors get sick. Doctors take different methods when they are sick than ordinary people, because they know that there are too many problems that doctors cannot solve. Today, we must become smarter in these things.

I have a friend who is a doctor of medicine. He told me that it is very helpless to be a doctor. Patients and their families are full of confidence in us, but we ourselves know that we cannot solve their problems. This is very sad! My friend said that they often play the role of a pastor to be a doctor, giving patients and their families some hope. It's very hard. The doctors themselves know it, but the patients are full of confidence in the doctors. Why? Because they will be healed 60% of the time when they treat diseases, and 40% of the time they will not be healed. They will sigh why they are in this 40%.

Once this is the case, it is because we have not grasped the essence. If the Bible says that some are healed and some are not healed, then most will not be healed. But the Bible says that all are healed. God builds people's faith through such words, and people can maintain faith.

The Perplexity of Being Filled with the Holy Spirit

Many say that if you seek the Holy Spirit, evil spirits will come. This is quite intriguing. People who do not diligently read the Bible often speak nonsense. Before Jesus ascended to heaven, He said:

“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” (Luke 11:11-13)

This passage is very interesting, and I have read it many times. What is Jesus telling us? It is that when we ask for the Holy Spirit, God will not give us an evil spirit. Some people do not seek the Holy Spirit because they believe that seeking the Holy Spirit will bring evil spirits; they are very confused. But Jesus knew that people would have such confusion. People speak nonsense because of the lies released by the devil.

The devil is most adept at releasing lies of fear, such as warning you to be careful, that seeking the Holy Spirit may bring evil spirits, and that it is dangerous. The devil releases these lies, and some pastors believe such words. The issue of being filled with the Holy Spirit has been distorted beyond recognition by many. I mentioned being filled with the Holy Spirit in the previous lectures, and today I will talk about it a little less.

I tell everyone definitively that seeking the Holy Spirit will not bring evil spirits. Once I ministered to someone, and as soon as he came, I led him to be filled with the Holy Spirit. While being filled with the Holy Spirit, he screamed. That was an evil spirit. I pondered what was happening. While seeking, I realized that when the Holy Spirit fills us, evil spirits flee. The Holy Spirit is cleansing us. As we continue to be filled with the Holy Spirit, the evil spirits manifest, no longer able to hide. Continuing to pray, the evil spirits will be driven out.

Therefore, being filled with the Holy Spirit brings confusion to many. Indeed, there are many strange sounds when being filled with the Holy Spirit. Some people are afraid upon hearing them, thinking that seeking the Holy Spirit will bring evil spirits. But does our Father not reign in heaven and earth? Since our Father is always in control, what are you afraid of? Why do these situations arise when we seek the Holy Spirit? It turns out that it is because of the things we carry within our bodies; we simply need to drive them out.

Once I attended a training session and listened intently to the sharing. From 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM, we would take a short break. A sister I had ministered to before told me that someone was about to break down and asked if I could minister to them. I went to minister, telling the person to place their hand on their chest. When the Holy Spirit filled them, the demons inside screamed. Seeing this, the teacher in charge that day rushed over because I was still a trainee, and I quickly slipped away.

Because it was such an event, I thought the training teacher would continue to help this person cast out the demons, but the teacher did not; taking on some emergency first aid work instead of continuing to drive out those evil spirits. After the two-day course ended, the sister testified on stage, saying that on the first day, she felt like she was going crazy. A sister took me to see someone, and after seeing this person, the demons inside me screamed and ran out, and the feeling of collapse disappeared.

We must know that being filled with the Holy Spirit manifests the power of God, and the kingdom of God will come. From now on, we reject anything that releases fear or confusion. We only carefully obey the word of God! We do as the Bible says, and as a result, many people are healed! To this day, being filled with the Holy Spirit brings a lot of confusion to many. There are many strange sounds when leading people to be filled with the Holy Spirit. It doesn't matter; continue to pray, and it will be fine in a while. If not, come again.

The Perplexity of Pentecostalism

People often ask me, Are you a Pentecostal? Alas! I say, what exactly is Pentecostalism? They can't explain it. I say, if you can't explain it, why are you asking me? If you can't explain it, and you ask me if I am a Pentecostal, I wouldn't even know! I said, can you tell me what Pentecostalism is? In fact, the name itself brings them a lot of confusion. I wonder who created such a big confusion for the person who asks this question!

Later, I discovered that what Pentecostalism means to them is this: as long as you speak in tongues and pray in tongues, you will probably be labeled as a Pentecostal. But the Bible speaks of praying in tongues. If the issue isn't in the Bible we can forget about it, but the Bible does speak of it, yet these people label praying in tongues as Pentecostal! Wouldn't the Apostle Paul then be the biggest Pentecostal? Because he prayed in tongues the most.

Some time ago, a sister came to me and said that her previous pastor said that 99% of praying in tongues is fake. I wanted to ask, how do you know? In fact, he doesn't know either; he is just speaking nonsense or running his mouth. Isn't that nonsense? Where in the Bible does it say that praying in tongues comes from God or from evil spirits? The Bible does not discuss this matter. You might say that the Apostle Paul forgot! Impossible.

Jesus answered in Luke 11:11-13. Praying in tongues and being filled with the Holy Spirit are linked together. There is no need to discuss whether praying in tongues comes from the Holy Spirit or from an evil spirit. If this matter were important, Jesus would tell us, You must discern whether this comes from the Holy Spirit or from an evil spirit. Is an evil spirit filling you, or is the Holy Spirit filling you? How is it possible that praying and asking for the Holy Spirit to fill you could result in an evil spirit filling you? But these people say that 99% come from evil spirits instead of the Holy Spirit. I think this matter should not stop here. Praying in tongues edifies oneself. Without faith, praying in tongues is useless.

This Pentecostal perplexity has troubled many Christians. For example, some people ask, Is your praying in tongues spoken by you or by the Holy Spirit?
It's hard to say whether this is spoken by the Holy Spirit! If I didn't open my mouth, could it speak? Isn't it true that it is I who speaks! Is it spoken by the Holy Spirit? This question stumped me. How do you know it is spoken by the Holy Spirit? They say, I feel something controlling my mouth; that is spoken by the Holy Spirit. If nothing controls my mouth, then it is spoken by myself. But the Bible doesn't say that. Because these people don't read the Bible properly, they just speak nonsense. But I can tell you that you have to speak out. Praying in tongues is a product of faith.

Once, my sister was on a business trip in a big city and developed a high fever, so sick she was near death. No matter how many drips she was on or how many fever-reducing pills she took, the fever wouldn't go away. When I contacted her two or three days later, she was about to faint. Seeing this, I told her, Sister, just believe me. Pray as I pray. Holy Spirit fill me, Hallelujah, Holy Spirit fill me. She prayed with me like this for an hour, and the fever subsided.

A small confusion arose within her. She felt that her praying in tongues was learned. She always thought it was learned. But, today, the Bible doesn't say whether when praying in tongues feel like something is controlling our mouth, or whether the person is imitating some phrases that were learned. Later, she often prayed like this. Once, when she prayed for another person in our family, the prayer healed the illness. When her shoulder hurt, she would have them pray with her like I did, and it would get better. So, today we must look at the results. For example, a good tree bears good fruit. You can't tell anything by looking at the leaves, but you have to look at the fruit that is produced.

Being filled with the Holy Spirit and praying in tongues brings out power. When the Holy Spirit comes upon us, we will receive power. The first time the Holy Spirit came upon the one hundred and twenty disciples, they were filled with power from heaven. Jesus did not speak of the Holy Spirit indwelling or not indwelling. Jesus said, Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and you will receive power, that is, being filled with the Holy Spirit, which brings power. The first time being filled with the Holy Spirit was actually on the day of Pentecost. The first time this happens is the first such expression. We must not think that the first time is unimportant; the first time is very important. If the first time is like this, it should always be like this. Being filled with the Holy Spirit and praying in tongues is related to power!

Why are so many diseases healed among us? Because being filled with the Holy Spirit releases the power of God, and the power of God manifests God's glory. So, what is this called? Is this called Pentecostalism? In fact, those who do not have praying in tongues think they are orthodox. But the Bible is very clear. What does 1 Corinthians say?

So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding. (1 Corinthians 14:15)

But if we say today that we do not need to do this, does this conform to the Bible? Absolutely not. Therefore, today we must know what the Bible actually says. Don't take things out of context and speak nonsense. Some people say, Did John the Baptist pray in tongues? Did Jesus Christ pray in tongues? That Jesus Christ did not pray in tongues says nothing.

Once, a brother among us suffered from depression and came to me from afar. At that time, he was not a believer. I prayed with him, and he vomited a lot of filthy things. I immediately led him to be filled with the Holy Spirit, prayed in tongues, accepted Jesus Christ as his savior, then confessed his sins and repented, followed by being filled with the Holy Spirit again. After this entire process, the things he vomited were bloody, and he was healed. After he recovered, he often prayed. It was normal for him to pray for one or two hours among us.

Later, a classmate who went to school with him was a member of the church of a pastor friend of mine. He had suffered from insomnia for many years. The church should have solved the problem, but it didn't. Then he met our brother. He asked our brother if he could pray for him, and with one prayer, he was healed. Then the two classmates talked about a topic: How long do you pray each day? I pray for one or two hours a day. How is that possible? Our brother asked him, How many hours do you pray each day? I only pray for five to ten minutes a day, and only when I eat! No wonder you can't sleep.

If a person prays with understanding, it is very painful to make long speeches. You are thinking about the wording and praying at the same time. That's too hard. In fact, praying in tongues is the simplest prayer, because you don't have to learn it; you just open your mouth and declare with your faith. How easy is that! What I am saying today is this, don't be afraid. Being filled with the Holy Spirit and praying in tongues is recorded in the Bible. Read the Bible carefully. It is strange not to pray in tongues. What's even stranger is that the promise won't come true, right? We must not continue to let ourselves be lacking. Need to start restoring the habit of reading the Bible, with an open attitude, to explore whether what I say is correct.

Read 1 Corinthians 14, and you will know whether what I say is correct. Some people read it but don't understand it. In fact, the Bible is not difficult to understand. It is written clearly in black and white. You have to read it in a distorted way, which faction or which faction. In fact, there is only the faction of Jesus, the result of living it out is like Jesus. Some people ask me, How do I know if there is truth in this church or not? If you only listen to what is said, you can't judge. The way liars talk is great. So, this matter cannot only look at the leaves; you have to look at the results. If the results are like Jesus, what's there to say? If the results are nothing like Jesus, can there be truth? Then slowly ponder what I have said.

What is my perplexity? Seeing that this matter did not seem to say the Bible said, I put my heart and soul into seeking, desperately reading the Bible, desperately praying, and the result was that I became more and more like Jesus. So, some people asked me, Which faction are you? I am the faction of Jesus. Spiritual Grace sounds very good, but without the gifts of the Holy Spirit, one cannot go on. Some people do not pray in tongues themselves and say that other people's praying in tongues comes from evil spirits. Don't you find it strange? People who pray in tongues themselves how would they know about others? It's just nonsense.

Some pastors know they are Evangelicals yet are arrogant. What does Evangelical mean? I am very sorry to say this: I haven't researched the word 'Evangelical' clearly. I learned a little later. In Western seminaries, something called Liberalism appeared. They said that God is dead, the Bible is outdated, it is no longer the truth, and it has errors. As a result, some theological professors and teachers came out to oppose, saying, The Bible is God's truth and is inerrant. Then it became Evangelical, becoming a superficial appearance, unable to live out the image of Jesus. When the shamans does something, they heal the sickness, but when these people are busy doing things, nothing good happens.

Evangelicalism is very confusing. They believe that the Bible is the word of God. Later, when someone prayed in tongues, they gave them the name Pentecostal. As a result, the Evangelicals forgot about those who did not believe in the word of God. Believing in the word of God and living out the word of God will certainly result in being filled with the Holy Spirit and praying in tongues. This is recorded in the Bible. As a result, the Evangelicals forgot, and they thought that Evangelical and Pentecostal were opposed. And the faction of Jesus is to believe in the word of God, to live out the word of God, to live out the power of God, to restore the power of this gospel. A gospel without power is not gospel.

The Perplexity of Fearing Heresies

The fear of heresies is ages old. A pastor I know, a person came to our church, this person was called Eastern Lightning. Why? The people of Eastern Lightning are more familiar with the Bible than are modern people, so no one can argue with him. As a result, the church was in chaos, and many people followed Eastern Lightning. As a result, began to fear heresies. The impact of fearing heresies on the church is very far-reaching. The Bible does not describe fearing heresies, but the Bible says to carefully obey the word of God.

To solve the problem of heresies, fear is definitely not the way to solve the problem. The way to solve the problem is to read God's word carefully. Our God is looking in heaven, looking for those who are seeking. If there is seeking, God will let you find it. Reading the Bible carefully is the theme of our global online study conference. This is an eternal theme. Because everything will pass away, but God's word will never be outdated.

So, don't fear heresies. Today, many people open their mouths and close their mouths with heresies. I looked at it and thought he looked like a heresy. Trying to catch heresies all day long, and as a result, caught himself as a heresy. Those who don't read God's word properly, why do you have to read it in distorted way? Why can't you read it plainly? Just do what the Bible says and be done with it. Start to walk out of bad habits like fearing heresy.

I encourage everyone to read the word of God and carefully to obey it. If we see that the phenomenon and the facts do not match, if we see that the phenomenon and what is recorded in the Bible do not match, then the phenomenon cannot replace the word of God. There is a person, perhaps that did not study Chinese well from a young age, he think that what he is saying is reasonable, but that is not reasonable at all. He said this: Look, a certain PhD Christian died of illness. What does it mean? It means that God is not a God who heals people! A PhD Christian is not the standard. When a person reaches the time to leave the world, he will leave. That is not the word of God and is unable to prove anything.

We cannot use phenomena to replace the word of God. Living is by every word that comes from the mouth of God. And all these words are a system. Why perplexities arise is because of chaos, taking things out of context, and being very one-sided. Today, start to recover the habit of reading the word of God carefully. If you can't read it, it doesn't matter. Our church has several Bible studies every week. Take a good look at the original text of the Bible, and study with us to see if what I am saying is correct. What we say may not be correct, but the Bible is definitely correct.

Once we assemble the word of God and see a complete system, God's promise will surely be fulfilled in you and me. May God bless everyone!

Well said! I was always confused about the charismatic and evangelical movements. Today, after listening to the teacher's explanation, I suddenly understood. No matter what you call yourselves, I want to imitate Jesus and be like Jesus. I am of the Jesus faction. Thank the Lord for leading me to find the truth!

This lesson is of great help to me. In particular, being filled with the Holy Spirit is to manifest God's power, including speaking in tongues, which builds oneself and establishes an intimate relationship with God, resulting in intellectual prayer. It also helped me understand why diseases are not healed, because people do not believe in God's words. The phrase "Everyone who comes to Jesus is healed" reminds me: I must seek God, and diseases can be healed, and it must be in accordance with the Bible, and I will know God's Mingding Doctrine for me.

When I pray, I always can't get into it, and I get distracted after a while. I especially envy those brothers and sisters who pray very fervently and devotedly. Why don't I have that kind of fervent feeling? Am I not filled with the Holy Spirit?

Sometimes there is a feeling, and sometimes there is no feeling. It should be that you don't understand in your understanding!

A sister's personal experience: after receiving the gift of praying in tongues, she prayed in tongues whenever she had time. Later, when she could speak in tongues, she also spoke in Chinese, which was like her tongue being controlled. She also praised the Lord and said hallelujah. Later, there was spiritual communication, but some of the things said were not fulfilled, and some were lies. For example, when she couldn't find her earphones, the spirit said they were lost on the road and had been picked up by someone. But later, they were found in her coat pocket. How can we judge what kind of tongue this is? It should be the same spirit. The above is the factual situation. I would like to ask, does speaking in tongues all come from God? And does the evil spirit know people's thoughts? Because the communication is done with thoughts, not spoken out, it is all consciousness, not just one thing, but a lot of communication. It is not her own imagination. This sister has also been a believer for many years and knows the truth.

We need to know that the theme of the New Testament is to build a victorious church. Anything that is not for the purpose of building a victorious church is easily deceived by evil spirits. All gifts are for building a victorious church. Apart from this main goal, everything else is dangerous!
