【Sermon】Deliverance Series 08: When Demons Come, Seek the Pastor!

2019-12-15 30,092 Deliverance Series God's Love Exorcism Deliverance Theology Church Planting Unity

Introduction

Over the past period, we have been sharing about the matter of casting out demons. We had always thought that casting out demons had little to do with God's love. Actually, casting out demons is closely related to God's love. God loves us, how could He possibly want us to be controlled by demons? If we are controlled by demons, our God would want us to be released.

Why do people possessed by demons seek out pastors? Because the church is a connection in love, and God's love can only be revealed when we need God the most. We all know that being controlled by demons is a very difficult thing. I often see many Christians who have believed for many years being controlled by demons, but they cannot be released in traditional churches, which is something that surprises me very much. How do I know? Because they come to me, and I release them from the hands of the devil, because the love of Jesus motivates us. Some people are released in a few minutes, some in a few hours, a few days, or even a few months, or even a whole year.

In the process of casting out demons, we learn a very important lesson of patience, for he who endures to the end will be saved. That is, when we persevere one minute longer than the devil, the devil must be cast out! The church is by no means just about preaching sermons and creating a stage for people to perform. The church is a place to dispense God's love. I learned a lot of lessons from my mother. Although my mother was often taken away by demons, she was still alive. The way she spoke and acted often seemed very strange, which was a very eerie thing. When her spirit was taken away, she was still alive, but at this time it was no longer herself, it was the devil living in her.

She also said to me: I will pray myself, you don't need to take care of me! Later, I learned that praying by herself was what the devil said, because the devil did not want me to pray for my mother. Later, I taught her: If the devil comes, what do you do? She said: If the devil comes, I will beat it! I said: You are already controlled, how can you beat the devil? The correct way is to find a pastor when the devil comes.

No matter how big the problems of this pastor are, or how the people he pastors are, I have found something very surprising, that is, the effect is very good when the pastor prays for his sheep. Once I asked God why this was so, and God's response surprised me very much. God said: This is called building the church. After pondering over it, I went back to the Bible to find the basis. I found that if everyone prays for themselves before Jesus, wouldn't the church become a temple? Self-cultivation cannot build a church. If everyone hides in a secret room, what will the church become?

In fact, the most hateful thing is that some pastors, because they are afraid of trouble, let their sheep pray more by themselves. You will find that I rarely say such things, because the church is a place to love one another. When people are controlled by demons, when people encounter problems, it is when they need pastors the most. Precisely because of this, I have spent a lot of time training the pastors among us.

In earlier years, I often asked myself, if I encountered these people who were controlled by demons, those who encountered great troubles, what would Jesus do if He were here? Later, I found that if it were Jesus, He would release those people from the control of the devil. Later, I also told myself that I should also release these people from the control of the devil. Although I cannot do it, I must work hard to do it. The final result is very shocking, and the glory of God is manifested through me again and again. This is God's will, our gospel is to set the captives free and to liberate the oppressed.

For a period of time, I was working and studying theology at the same time. I loved God very much and wanted to understand God's will more. When a theological professor talked about one of the topics, he asked everyone to ask if they didn't understand, so I asked him: If it were Jesus, how would Jesus see it? As a result, the theological professor's words completely shattered my theological dream. He said: I am not Jesus, how would I know! If you don't know what God's will is, then what am I learning from you?

So I tell everyone, instead of saying that when demons come, find a pastor, it is better to say that a good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep! I think that a good shepherd laying down his life for his sheep may be more suitable for the title of this talk, but since it is a series on casting out demons, let's title it When Demons Come, Find a Pastor! There are two meanings to this talk. One is to encourage those who are controlled by demons, if you still have a clear consciousness, you need to find a pastor; the more important aspect is to encourage all those among us who are involved in serving, or who have not yet been involved in serving, to desire to become a person who loves God. If you love God, you will shepherd God's flock of sheep.

Scripture

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. (John 15:4-12)

Prayer

Lord, let your love be poured out in our hearts, and use your love to motivate us! Motivate us to go to the post of serving, let us always be in you, and you always be in us, let us become a person who bears fruit. Lord, motivate us, no matter what level we are at, let us be able to run with all our might, constantly improve, constantly grow up to adulthood, full of the stature of Jesus Christ, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Abiding in the Lord

Many brothers and sisters will find that some churches have effective prayers, while some churches have ineffective prayers. There was a sister who wanted to have children very much. She had been a believer in her church for many years, but she could not get pregnant. Because of a chance encounter, she came among us, and soon became pregnant. The child was born, and now the child is more than one year old. This is very shocking. Why is this so? Because the victorious church is the foundation of healing and deliverance.

In the process of doing leadership training, we mentioned that the victorious church is the foundation of healing and deliverance. This is why the church is victorious, and the healing and deliverance of the church will be very effective. If the church is not victorious, many times it is indebted to itself. In fact, the victorious church is in the Lord Jesus Christ, abiding in the Lord, and united in the love of the Lord Jesus. The church is the body of the Lord Jesus.

There are many churches in the Lord Jesus, and there are many churches that are not in the Lord Jesus at all. If you come among us and find that our church is not in the Lord Jesus, then you are in vain among us, because you will find that you cannot get grace among us, and such a church cannot be regarded as a church. Don't think that just hanging up a sign is a church, or sticking the three words Christian on your forehead is a Christian, or coming to church and sitting down is a Christian. It is not like that at all.

And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. (Matthew 16:18)

This is the foundation of healing and deliverance. In fact, the most important thing for the church is to be in the love of the Lord, the church is a connection of loving one another, that is, to dwell/abide in the Lord.

If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done/accomplished for you. (John 15:7)

Our brothers and sisters must know that the victorious church is the foundation of healing and deliverance. That is to say, when brothers and sisters are controlled, it is a very important concept that you come to the church to find your pastor. We must know for sure that the church is the body of Jesus Christ, who is the fullness of Him who fills all in all. In fact, this sentence is mentioned a lot in Ephesians, and many people have examined this passage, but they cannot see the glory that God should manifest in their midst.

And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. (Ephesians 1:22-23)

If the church is not in the love of the Lord Jesus, the church is powerless. That is why it is said that the love of the Heavenly Father is the most powerful weapon to cast out demons. If it is the fullness of Him who fills all in all, the body of Jesus Christ, this church carries great power, and this church will also be built on the rock of Jesus Christ. Today we must know that loving one another is living in the love of the Lord Jesus Christ. Maybe everyone will feel a bit too theoretical after listening to it. It doesn't matter, there are still many things to practice. If you observe carefully, you will come to the same conclusion. It is a very good proof if the church can overcome the power of Hades.

And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. (Matthew 16:19)

Obeying God's Commands is Being in the Lord’s Love

As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. (John 15:9-10)

What kind of commandment is it to obey the commands of the Lord Jesus? When John wrote the Gospel of John, there was actually such an arrangement in the dark:

Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves. Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. (John 14:11-14)

If you think about it carefully, abiding in the Lord is actually obeying God's commands. We have always thought that abiding in the love of the Lord is receiving God's love, but it is not. In fact, it is distributing God's love/dispensing God's love. What is love?

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

Love is to give out. If we abide in the Lord's love, we will do what Jesus did. The best model for keeping and following God's commands is the Lord Jesus, and then find a second-best one, that is the Apostle Paul. If the Lord Jesus and the Apostle Paul are our models, then we will do what the Lord Jesus did, and what the Lord Jesus did is what we should do, and it is clearly stated in the Gospel of John.

Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. (John 14:12)

Most of the things that the Lord Jesus did were healing and deliverance, that is the love of the Lord. Seeing someone who was oppressed by a demon, someone who had been hunchbacked for many years, the Lord Jesus released them from the control of the devil. As a result, the Pharisees were unhappy because they felt that the Lord Jesus had violated the Sabbath. So what is Jesus Christ's point of view? Shouldn't this people of God who are oppressed by the devil be released on the Sabbath? In fact, healing and deliverance is the most important work of the church. From the Gospel of Matthew to the Gospel of John, we will see that what Jesus Christ did was to release the captives.

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound. (Isaiah 61:1)

In fact, this is the love of God. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, and the love of God is manifested in this.

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5)

In this way, God's love is manifested through the offering of Jesus Christ. But today the church has lost its power, and then cannot release those who are bound. As a result, the devil has released many lies: Healing and deliverance is not important, it is Pentecostal, it may be heresy, you have to be careful, it is important to go to heaven, don't get yourself into heresy, and in the end you won't even be able to get into heaven. This kind of lie is very powerful.

Many people think they are orthodox, so let's take a look at what the Bible says. When we see those who are controlled by demons, those who are bound by diseases, is it called love if we don't release them? It doesn't matter, you can go to heaven in the future. In fact, when the devil is on a person, if this person finds his pastor, the pastor should release the love of God, and he can release him from the control of the devil.

And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. (John 14:13)

Ponder this carefully, is this not the case? Indeed, glorifying the Father is closely linked to healing and deliverance. I can cite numerous examples.

So that the crowd wondered, when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, the lame walking and the blind seeing. And they praised the God of Israel. (Matthew 15:31)

If it is to give glory to God, let us examine the Gospel of Luke, which largely speaks of such matters.

Immediately he stood up in their presence, took what he had been lying on and went home glorifying God. Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.” (Luke 5:25-26)

If you give a bowl of rice to a blind person, that is not the glory of God, but merely an act of mercy and grace. The Bible does not associate the glory of God with such deeds. However, performing healing and deliverance, casting out demons and freeing those oppressed by evil, is giving glory to God. Therefore, when we speak of giving glory to God, this is fundamentally what we mean.

On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.” Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God. (Luke 13:10-13)

There are many such examples.

Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, praising God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God. (Luke 18:43)

We must be certain of one thing: when a person oppressed by evil is freed from that oppression, it is because the church is in the love of Jesus Christ. The pastor and the individual are connected in love, releasing the power of God, and the glory of God is manifested. We witness many such occurrences. The Gospel of John also records these events.

As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. (John 9:1-3)

When someone born blind can see, it reveals the glory and works of God. Hence, in John chapter nine, Jesus expresses profound dismay that people fail to recognize this, that their spirits are so numb despite witnessing such events.

So for the second time they summoned the man who had been blind and told him, “Give glory to God by telling the truth, because we know this man is a sinner.” He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know: I was blind, but now I see!” Then they asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” He answered, “I have already told you, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?”

Then they hurled insults at him and said, “You are this fellow’s disciple! We are disciples of Moses! We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we don’t even know where he comes from.” The man answered, “Now that is remarkable! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes. We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will. Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a person born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” (John 9:24-33)

Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.” (John 9:39)

I want to ensure that everyone understands why God manifests such potent power and glory among us, healing so many. I can boldly state that it is difficult to remain unblessed or unhealed in our midst. Because the church we have established is a church of mutual love, a nurturing church. In the love of Jesus Christ, abiding in Him, we bear such fruit.

Therefore, build a church of mutual love. Never build a church devoid of God's love. Is it wrong to obey God's commands and emulate God, emulate Jesus Christ? Absolutely not. In Jesus Christ, united with Him in love, doing what He did is imperative. This is a church filled with God's love, releasing those oppressed by the devil. If we boast, let us boast in what the Lord does through us.

I delivered a sermon titled Do not seek your own benefit. Some disagreed, claiming I was merely bragging. Even if I were bragging, I have the credentials to do so. However, if I boast for my own sake, it is worthless. But I am in the Lord Jesus Christ, boasting in what He does through us, bearing much fruit in His love.

We do not merely pay lip service. Many like to say, Jesus loves you, and I love you too... We never utter such empty words. Those who do are mere talkers, unable to deliver those oppressed by evil or suffering from illness, pretending not to notice and warning, Beware of heresy, beware of the charismatic movement! I find it perplexing. Why do these individuals not free those oppressed by evil, instead focusing on heresy and the charismatic movement? Is not Jesus Christ charismatic? Was not the Apostle Paul charismatic? Perhaps their definition of charismatic differs from ours.

I witnessed several sisters ministering to a child with a fever late into the night, praying for hours. I was deeply moved, thanking God for the loving and dedicated brothers and sisters among us who minister to those oppressed by evil. I believe their service will be greatly rewarded, for it is releasing the love of God.

Brothers and sisters are beginning to understand. Many brothers and sisters today do not engage in practical service, merely typing a few words on WhatsApp: Sister, I will pray for you. They do not care whether the sister or brother is delivered. At least they prayed. Such behavior is prevalent in all professions. For example, a teacher drones on, delivering what the Ministry of Education requires. Whether the students hear or understand is not their concern. How detestable is such a teacher! Even more so if it is a pastor.

Brothers and sisters must understand: how can it be called service if there is no fruit? A person oppressed by evil seeks out a pastor, but the pastor lacks all compassion: Pray hard yourself. That is utter nonsense! Therefore, we are constantly training various pastors to minister to all kinds of people. If we are Christians, we must bear much fruit.

Bearing Much Fruit

Where is this written?

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. (John 15:7-8)

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other. (John 15:16-17)

With even a basic grasp of language, one can plainly read: This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, that what you ask will be done for you. This is bearing fruit.

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other. (John 15:16-17)

What does bearing fruit mean? It is the result of mutual love. When a person oppressed by evil seeks you out to bear fruit, you can release the love of God and free that person from oppression. Is this not what we seek? We do not seek to become millionaires, to become wealthy, to eat well, to travel abroad. We do not seek our own benefit, but that these individuals may be freed from the oppression of the devil. This is seeing the love of God. What does mutual love mean? It means when people need us, we are there to release and help them.

Brothers and sisters must understand what this fruit truly is. Many mistakenly believe that bearing fruit means cultivating oneself into a deity or angel. That is a false notion. Our lasting fruit is the effectiveness of our service. If our service is accompanied by God, and we witness God manifesting His works through our prayers in every act of service, that is lasting fruit.

If you build roads and bridges yourself, you do not need God, you can accomplish it alone, because a person of the flesh can do it. However, freeing a person from the oppression of the devil is what Jesus did most, and that is the effectiveness of service.

Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.” (Revelation 14:13)

The effect of our deeds will follow us - releasing the love of the Father.

Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. (Romans 12:15)

Paul said to mourn with those who mourn, to empathize with those oppressed by evil. We must truly understand those oppressed by evil. As we serve, our love may gradually grow cold. After love grows cold, we become indifferent to such matters. Even today, I am very careful, because we竭尽全力 serve those God brings to us, unless they one day discard us like a worn-out shoe, no longer needing our service. Therefore, we must truly mourn with those who mourn, understanding the feelings of those oppressed by evil.

Today, the church has a misconception, forgetting that the church should love one another and serve those in need. Today, many churches with 10,000, 20,000, or 30,000 members share a common characteristic: they enjoy gathering in large groups for worship, like a concert, everyone telling the person next to them, Jesus loves you, and I love you too.

I do not understand it. 10,000 people sit there, not knowing the person next to them, yet they say, Jesus loves you, and I love you too. I find it hard to comprehend. If I tell a stranger I love them, they might accuse me of harassment. Then how can we love one another? I have never understood it, it is merely lip service.

However, when I carefully examine the Bible, I find that when two or three gather in Jesus' name, God is among us. This is very interesting. Lord, why two or three? Why not 20,000? How can 20,000 or 30,000 people implement mutual love? I do not know. But two or three can implement mutual love. You know me, and I know you. You are oppressed by evil, and I am willing to shepherd you and free you from the oppression of the devil. That is called church.

Indeed, a church does not need 20,000 or 30,000 people to have God's presence. Some believe that 20,000 or 30,000 cannot be wrong. But what can even 200,000 or 300,000 people prove? If God's love is not implemented, if there is no nurturing relationship, what can even 200 million or 300 million people prove? It proves nothing, because the Bible does not say so.

Therefore, brothers and sisters must know that when two or three gather in the name of the Lord, it is a relationship built on the name of the Lord, with both shepherd and sheep. Of course, this is my opinion, you may disagree. What kind of fruit can two or three people bear when they love and serve one another? Casting out demons, releasing captive souls, freeing the oppressed. Brothers and sisters, selfish people cannot bear fruit. Why? If you love yourself, I love myself, he loves himself, when three self-loving people gather, is that in the name of the Lord? It is more like in the name of the devil.

We must ponder: is the church we are building truly a church that releases God's power, releases God's love and manifests God's glory? Some time ago, when I led prayer, I posed a question: ponder what you have done in the past year? What fruit have you borne? What is the use of loving yourself so much? There is only one use: repentance.

Recently, I received a call from a sister. She is a very selfish person, only caring about herself, her money, her work, her house, everything revolves around herself, yet she did not even realize it! When she followed my recorded prayer, she heard me say, What have you done this year? She thought about it and realized she had only done one thing: become a selfish person. Later, she repented, weeping profusely, realizing that she had done nothing.

For her, this year was simply chaotic. But actually, we did much this year, often ministering to her, and it was quite difficult. We told her more than once, You are a selfish person. She was upset when she heard it, but it was indeed the case. Now she finally understands what we were saying, and she has decided to repent!

I believe our God is truly extraordinary. This is not something we can do; it is God's doing. Bearing fruit means liberating a person from the lies of the devil, from a selfish value system, and initiating them into the Mingding Destiny of building God's glorious church. I think receiving blessings is easy because it aligns with God's will.

I also ministered to another person who was quite selfish, but she was unaware of it. My relationship with her was not particularly close, so I hesitated to speak directly. Instead, I told her, Ponder this carefully. She asked, What do I need to ponder? I replied, Just reflect on what I've said to you! I phrased it somewhat delicately.

In reality, selfish individuals often don't realize they are selfish. However, you can discern it by the price they pay and the consequences they face. Whom have you liberated? Whom have you blessed? What have you accomplished? Building bridges and roads doesn't count. Even sinners love those they cherish, which is easy. But if we cannot even love those we are supposed to love, shouldn't we reflect on ourselves? I encourage everyone to learn to pay the price; it's an attitude, a conviction. Reflect carefully on what you have done. The projects and products you’ve developed, are they fruits that will endure for eternity? No. If the fruit you bear is similar to Cain's fruit, it is of little value!

Brothers and sisters, abiding in the Lord's love will yield abundant fruit, the fruit of God's love that you release. This fruit liberates many from bondage. It requires much patience, many battles, much physical strength, and hard work. If someone is selfish, it is truly difficult! I often encounter selfish individuals, and it's a tragedy when some selfish people become pastors. How will they answer to God in the future?

For example, one pastor, when I called him at 10:30 PM, I couldn't reach him. The next morning, I asked him why his phone was off. He said, I turn it off every night at 10 PM. I thought, My goodness, if you do that, your mother couldn't reach you in case of an emergency! Of course, my words were a bit harsh, but the core issue is, if the sheep encounter problems, how can they find you? Of course, they can't, since your phone is off. We really need to reflect on this. Brothers and sisters, remember to be good shepherds, or how can those oppressed by demons possibly seek you out? If someone oppressed by demons comes to me, I will certainly liberate them because a good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

The Good Shepherd Lays Down His Life for the Sheep

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. (John 15:12-13)

Many people claim that laying down one's life for the sheep and not seeking one's own benefit are unattainable. Why? If you can't do it, won't you be cursed? Does God's love reside within you? Are you selfish? The results you experience will reveal the truth. We have a sister among us whose mind is solely occupied with her three children, her husband, her mother-in-law, and her family. Where is her Mingding Destiny?

I told her, If you continue down this path, you know the consequences. However, you can choose to change, to become a person with a purpose. The problems we encounter will inevitably lead to God's blessings. Today, it is rare to see a good shepherd laying down his life for the sheep. Perhaps it is immodest to say this, but it is indeed the truth. My disciples are truly blessed, far more blessed than I am, because I never encountered a pastor who would lay down his life for me. However, for those I minister to, I truly pay a heavy price.

Why are they more blessed than I am? Because they have a better shepherd than I did. Over the years, I haven't met a good shepherd, a lamentable fact, but also a cause for celebration, as it solidified my resolve to emulate our Lord Jesus at all costs; the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. Among those I serve, I don't seek their service, but their growth. A pastor reveals the nature of the church they are building by the kind of growth that they look to inspire.

Of course, some may think, You're just good at talking. Indeed, I am good at speaking, and my words are grounded in truth. Why would I want you to serve me? Because without service, you cannot grow. My goal is solely your growth. Is there anything wrong with this? No! But some pastors are not like this. I ministered to a pastor from another church with hydrocephalus, but where was his pastor? Busy with his own work in the church, not properly shepherding his disciple. Instead, he put great pressure on him. As a result, this pastor developed hydrocephalus.

Even after developing hydrocephalus, his pastor did nothing for him. He continually proclaims himself to be part of a charismatic church, but couldn't liberate his disciple from demonic oppression, only concerned about the number of attendees! How tragic! The pastor with hydrocephalus worked very hard. He was responsible for several hundred people in his district, and the group leaders changed frequently. Each time, he had to manage it himself, which was exhausting, eventually leading to hydrocephalus.

In effect, if he had followed my lead, he would not have had this suffering. I would not put pressure on you, because I do not require headcounts, nor offerings, but personal breakthroughs. Don't you think that following me would be a blessed proposition? Recently, I met a few pastors. One was sent to Indonesia. Later, the church replaced him with a new senior pastor. The new senior pastor summoned him to the office and said, We no longer need you. You are no longer our colleague, and you won't receive a salary because the church needs to save expenses.

Think of the example that this sets, the way that one's own colleagues are treated, what about the sheep under the shepherd? The sheep will definitely be starving to the point of emaciation. There was another pastor who also received the message that the congregation needed to hit a certain number. Why does the church need to increase the number of people in attendance? Because the church needs money, offerings, and people. As a result, this colleague worked very hard.

This generation is one that is in great need of good Shepards, and God will be amongst us should we be a good Shepard. And also, when I say alluding to laying one's life for God's sheep, some of them also have a wolfish and evil disposition, as they are covered under a sheepskin. With some that I know: you do lay your life for me and the sheep, that's what you are alluding to! And you need to be able to follow through with that! As with that that I have responded to such that it applies to laying one's life for God's sheep, then you are the wolf.

In effect, he had confused it for me saying that I was telling you, our brothers and sisters, such that the cost that I pay is for God's responsibility, but what type of cost have you paid? Are you a disciple of the Lord? If so, you should ask if you are someone that loves the Lord, and if you are then herd God's sheep, and are you cooking God's sheep and eating them? And should you have a conversation with me such that you lay down your life for me, would you lay down your life for your own sheep? As with that that I think that such individuals that would have said that in the time of Jesus is such that they would have said, then you should save yourself, and find a way to escape.

And for me to be inward facing, and for me to be waiting and excited for each of our fellow brothers and sisters with high expectation, such as to have them evolve into someone that lays down his life for God's sheep, with each and every one of our brothers and sisters being able to bear fruit with the blessing, with each and every one of our brothers and sisters with being able to serve with breakthroughs for a spiritual blessing. At an earlier time I had said and told you to someone who is my fellow sister in Christ: given that you are not able to serve than be ready and prepared to continue to grow, and the only real option to be able to hear about what the Lord has had to say, and we would have to walk the path for the journey, in that you can challenge the depths with what you are able to put up with under selfish conditions, you must evolve into being a good Shepard to evolve into one that lays one's life for one's fellow God's sheep, and you are in effect dedicating time as a dedication of life, and you dedicate a portion of such time, and dedicate more for that dedication of time, and you would then evolve to lay down your life for one's fellowshiping and communing of God's sheep.

When I am alluding this, and saying alluding to such, and giving this sermon, the feelings that are inwardly felt would be some type of dread, or you might even hear about such, why such? It is in that I in an an earlier point of time, I had suffered some type of small wound, such is a lack of love or compassion given to myself, as I had been invited and I had some type of appointment to go and do an exposition on His Holy Word with what I felt that the good with what the Lord has said, and as I was a bit hesitant, with all that I had, with each and every last bit and ounce that I have, I was pressed forward. As such, it was a bit of difficulty for myself. As such, it was a bit of a conundrum, as I do not want to fail God. In that I do allude and touch base is with what the goal as a person as an individual to love God with my entirety of my heart, and I would allude to a lot of such events, specifically how a lot who serve as men of God lack the same level of compassion and love of their heart when it comes to God. As such, the result what the brethren had came out to say to me was the opposite of what they felt when they came out and said such, in that they were telling me that they were of the same mind set with what I was saying and to them, and their faces were of the colour of the darkness of night, with the color of the white, and each of our fellow congregants kept signalling with their hands for myself, with waving that such would make a person think that such would be enough for them to know after with what they have signalled to me such as to tell me to no longer keep speaking. And for the very last final point that the fellow church members had of something to say specifically to myself was such that it feels as if I am taking credit for all such blessings that our Lord has given to them. And now, forward into the future, I am not able to convey and have my thoughts be as coherent such as to lead and deliver to others on what is for their journey to spiritual blessing, for the reason is, I am in fear and dread with what the next to brethren who comes and speaks to me, not on my own accord, who may follow up and say unto me that I am taking all the credit and blessings that God has poured down upon them. For such is that I do not want to fail God. For it is not that I am blessed, but the God is filled with blessing to give forth to us. For God has a church, and that is to be under His banner, a fellowship of those connected under true love.

I had been a God fellow servant to a wealthy person, and there were a lot of those who serve God that are just the same as this person, and they do not care about the problems this rich person has, they would rather choose to care to what this person is that this person has a lot of coin. And as I was the one who was given the opportunity to serve, it saddened and hurt my spiritual soul to no end as to what I know. So I was thinking that they were there to care for the love of God, but they instead were going forward for the coins that was from the wealthy person, but even she knew this, as she is a very intelligent individual. And as the servant of God who was the me, there I went for a consultation with what she had to contend with, and it was there that she had related that I was the only man of serving God that ever took the time to see what problems and concerns, and to bring a peace for her heart, mind, and soul, and to resolve and make her better. As such, I was in a state of a mental and philosophical broken heart when I came to comprehend everything. I broke down and was torn as I was filled filled with the emotions of every colour, especially with the negative, where I was not filled with so much emotion that was of the positivity and blessing. This was after as many individuals that have served as God, but many were there just to go for the money.

The church is to be based and started on the roots of shepherding, such as by guiding others. What does it mean to work to be the Shepard of others by guiding, taking and resolving those with evil spirits that weigh and bind them down, and to tear down those foul habits, and to give place into the mind of the servant, such as to have the words of God, so they may be good faithful servants of the Lord's, and to check the ones served by you for the servant to do and to keep in their heart to what God says, and to carry them onwards, and to always strive to seek His glory in their hearts, minds and souls. That is what our pastoral system with Chinese Mingding Destiny is, it's to serve those under God with an iron will such as to bring about God's glory overall. In this time, the modern religious establishments have services and gatherings, but it shouldn't be! These locations of the religious order must never be what you see the normal gatherings and events as, but as serving, as with the Shepard who leads and cares for their flock. The church is to serve to allow those to express what the love of the Lord through their spirits, and must not be used for anything for one's personal gain or benefit, and the Lord is smashing and clipping at it, and is clearing what is not in sync with His purpose and those that follow Him, the Christ, as with one of the specific verses:

I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. (John 15:1-2)

And with everything and everyone, such as even for yourself, if there are no things that are of value that you give and come to bring, such as with giving the glory and love of Our God, with such as such you give, what should you do for everyone else? Your thoughts may turn into you, in turn, working for to the aid and benefit of yourself. With such evil things that are to be brought to be done, with a heart that is selfish, how do you then build with to serve Our God and to give to Him the praise and glory? How is someone such with those characteristics of selfishness and evil to do such things with an iron will such as to seek and bring back to God those who are bound by the hands of the evil spirit by those who seek to give worship to the name of the evil one who is against mankind? Should after your consumption with reading that what I have written, with what it feels like that is making you question, so shall it mean that you need to work with yourself and to make a new and wise choice to choose who to live your life with, such as serving the Lord with a pure heart and intention and to ask God for direction and guidance! Is it to be that you go with what that you wish, being selfish an evil unto humanity, with the thought that you are the best in comparison, so what should it be?

With the parable of the sheep and the Shepard, in that that the sheep are to be in communication and connected with the Shepard, the man of God who serves the flock of God. And in the event those under the charge of God from the Shepherd are being burdened or touched by the vile and wretched deeds of the evil demon, what measures should be taken? The words as of the Old Order scripture, when David gave service as the leader of the shepherd of the sheep, if there are those that are going to be attacked and taken by either the violent bear, violent lion, a hungry tiger, a vile and wretched wolves, they would be seized! So as to be saved! What is at risk is the life of David! As such, the fellow brothers and sisters are to be the truth of what is from the Lord! God needs and wants the servant to be such! Jacob with the house of his uncle in the care of Laban, such as what he did for the flock there!

There must be more that would be taken and given into being a shepherd! To come together and take the suffering of one whom does suffer, and to share joy with another who carries the joy within! The sheep are to come closer and closer with connection with the Shepard, to slowly grow slowly in character to being of like that of Our Lord Jesus the Christ! Can anyone fathom with the ability of my intention to allude what I have said? But this time with modern and common day events, the churches feel as if they're far off of with being the one the Lord said they are be with, the shepherd of His flock now does not resemble the past in His Holy Scripture, the sheep do not follow and walk with the Shepherd, many that that the nations are governed do not look and come to be like the God would have them be. But that is why we are with one goal! We want to come as an instrument and bring about a change, with to have places under the Church as to be a serving for the love of from God.

So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Summation

I have a will to take and give an summation. This summation is there to describe to the all that it is to grow with the bonds under love, to connect under with love, to give what glory is due to Our God! As a desire and excitement that will bring glory and that is filled within myself, is a desire to have each and every our fellow congregants to know and have the will for all of our hearts, minds, and souls to come to be known under our God and to carry all those with His heart and glory.

When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.(John 21:15-17)

To guide the flocks of Our God of the Lord, that is what what we are to be concerned in what God asks of us. If there is such a person as your very own self, that you have that of the love of the Lord, that is to be the very very most! If not, there will be a result as a curse under curse's! But if you do believe that you are for Our God, His Glory will be to taken, shown and given via with yourself, to being such the one to hold and care for the Shepherd and to be under the one shepherd for the flock of sheep! For that the generation right now, needs with the pure heart and intention, and this modern generation needs with the soul to come together under a bond of pure love with each other!

Fellow Christian brothers and sisters, the query that I put forth to you all, may such prompt you all to reassess and review of your actions for each and all of our own selves. For in my sleep and what as in my own dreams, I am in need to have everyone that you, I call as my fellow brothers and sisters, such that you, with yourself, individually and personally will find as to be fortunate and blessed when you are one with a heart, mind, and soul that is given to The Lord, but must ensure to hold high with all the power and strength! As that in to be for as such! Then the time will come in that that we will purge and solve the puzzle of all those incorrect and lying thoughts, and fully tear down with all those vile and wretched deeds of the world and those with their cultures! So! Christian brothers and sisters! I put the call that we come under a fellowship to have one connection to give to the love of God, and to come show the Glory and power of The Lord!

In the honour and heart of Our God, May God give all His Blessings unto you.

【讲道】
过去这段时间,我们一直都在分享赶鬼的事情。我们一直以为赶鬼这件事和神的爱没太大关系,其实赶鬼这件事和神的爱紧密相关。神爱我们,怎么可能希望我们被鬼辖制呢?如果我们被鬼辖制,我们的神巴不得我们被释放出来。 为什么说鬼来了找牧者呢?因为教会是在爱里面的连接,神的爱就是在我们最需要神的时候才能够显明出来。我们都知道被鬼辖制是一件非常辛苦的事情,我常常看见很多信主多年的基督徒被鬼辖制,在传统的教会里面却不得释放,这是我非常惊讶的事情。我怎么知道的呢?因为他们来找我,我就把他们从魔鬼的手里释放出来,因为耶稣的爱激励着我们,有的人几分钟就释放了,有的人是几个小时,几天,甚至几个月,甚至可能是一整年。 在赶鬼的过程当中,我们学到一个非常重要的忍耐的功课,忍耐到底的就必得救。也就是当我们比魔鬼多坚持一分钟的时候,魔鬼必要被赶出去!教会绝不是讲讲道,创建一个让人表演的舞台就行了,教会是分赐神的爱的地方。我在我妈妈的身上学了很多功课,虽然我妈妈经常被鬼抓走,但是人却还活着。她说话和做事经常看起来都很怪,这是一件非常诡异的事情,当她的灵被抓走了,人却还活着,其实这时候已经不是她自己了,是鬼在她里面活着。

她还和我说:我自己祷告,你们不用管我!后来我就知道,自己祷告是鬼说的话,因为鬼不希望我为我妈妈祷告。后来我就教她:如果鬼来了,你怎么办?她说:鬼来了,我打它啊!我说:你已经被辖制了,还怎么打鬼呢?正确的方法是鬼来了,找牧者。 不管这个牧者身上的问题有多大,或者是她所牧养的人怎么样,我发现一件非常令人惊讶的事情,就是牧者为他的羊祷告,效果都是非常好的。有次我就问神,为什么会这样,神给我的回应令我非常的惊讶,神说:这就叫做建立教会。我琢磨来琢磨去,就回到《圣经》里去找根据,我发现如果每个人都在耶稣面前为自己祷告,那教会岂不是成庙了?自我修行是无法建立教会的。如果大家都躲进密室里去,那教会成什么了? 其实最可恶的是一些牧者因为怕麻烦,就让他们的羊自己多祷告。你会发现我很少说这样的话,因为教会是彼此相爱的地方,当人被鬼辖制的时候,当人遇到问题的时候,是最需要牧者的时候,也正因为如此,我花了大量的时间来训练我们当中的牧者。

早些年间我就常常问自己,如果遇到这些被鬼辖制的人,遇到那些遭遇很大麻烦的人,如果是耶稣,祂会怎么做?后来我发现,如果是耶稣,祂会把那些人从魔鬼的辖制当中释放出来。后来我也告诉自己,我也要把这些人从魔鬼的辖制当中释放出来。虽然我做不到,也要很努力的去做。最后结果是非常令人震惊的,神的荣耀一次又一次的透过我彰显出来。神的心意本是如此,我们的福音是使被掳的得释放,被压制的得自由。 有段时间,我一边做工一边读神学,我非常的爱神,也很想更多的明白神的心意。当时一个神学教授讲到其中一个题目的时候,他让大家有不懂的就问,于是我就问他:如果是耶稣的话,耶稣会怎么看?结果这个神学教授的一句话,彻底的让我的神学梦想破灭了,他说:我又不是耶稣,我怎么知道!如果你不知道神的心意是什么,那我还和你学什么呢? 所以我告诉大家,与其说鬼来了找牧者,不如说好牧人为羊舍命!我想,好牧人为羊舍命可能更适合这一讲的题目,但我想既然是赶鬼的系列,那就把题目定为《鬼来了,找牧者》!讲这个有两方面的意义,一方面是激励那些被鬼辖制的人,如果你还有清楚的意识,你需要去找牧者;更重要的一方面,是激励我们当中凡是参与服侍的人,或者是还没有参与服侍的人,都渴望成为一个爱神的人。如果你爱神,你就会牧养神的群羊。

主啊,就让你的爱浇灌在我们心里,用你的爱来激励我们!激励我们走上服侍的岗位,让我们常在你的里面,你也常在我们的里面,让我们成为一个结果子的人。主啊,就激励我们,不管我们在什么样的层次,让我们都能够竭力奔跑,不断地提升,不断地长大成人,满有耶稣基督的身量,奉耶稣基督的名祷告,阿门!

很多弟兄姐妹们会发现,有些教会祷告有用,有些教会祷告就没有用。有一个姐妹很想生孩子,其实在她的教会里已经信主好多年了,却不能怀孕。因为一个偶然的机会来到我们当中,没多久就怀孕了,孩子也生下来了,现在这个孩子已经一岁多了。这件事令人感到非常的震惊,为什么会这样呢?因为得胜的教会是医治释放的根基。 我们在做领袖培训的过程当中,就提到得胜的教会是医治释放的根基,这就是为什么教会得胜,教会的医治释放就会非常的有果效的原因。如果教会不得胜,很多时候就亏欠了自己。其实得胜的教会就是在主耶稣基督里,常在主里面,在主耶稣的爱里合一,教会是主耶稣的身体。 有很多的教会在主耶稣的里面,也有很多的教会根本不在主耶稣的里面,如果你来到我们当中,发现我们教会并不在主耶稣里面的话,你在我们当中也是枉然,因为你会发现在我们当中根本得不着恩典,而这样的教会就算不上是教会。大家千万不要以为挂一个牌子就是教会,或者在脑门上贴上基督徒三个字就是基督徒,又或者来到教会坐一坐就是基督徒了,其实根本不是这么一回事。 **我还告诉你:你是彼得,我要把我的教会建造在这磐石上,阴间的权柄不能胜过他。(《马太福音》16:18)** 这就是医治释放的根基。其实教会最重要的就是要在主的爱里,教会是彼此相爱的连接,就是要住在主里面。 **你们若常在我里面,我的话也常在你们里面;凡你们所愿意的,祈求就给你们成就。(《约翰福音》15:7)**

我们弟兄姐妹们必须要知道,得胜的教会是医治释放的根基。也就是说,当弟兄姐妹被辖制的时候,你来教会当中找你的牧者,那是一个非常重要的观念。我们要确切的知道,教会是耶稣基督的身体,是那充满万有者所充满的,其实这句话在《以弗所书》里头讲的很多,很多人也查考过这段经文,但就是看不见神在他们当中彰显出的应当有的荣耀。 **又将万有服在他的脚下,使他为教会作万有之首。 教会是他的身体,是那充满万有者所充满的。(《以弗所书》 1:22-23)** 如果教会不是在主耶稣的爱里,教会是没有能力的,这就是为什么说天父的爱是赶鬼最厉害的武器。如果是那充满万有者所充满的,是耶稣基督的身体,这教会就带着极大的能力,这教会也就会建立在耶稣基督这块磐石上。今天我们必须知道,彼此相爱就是住在主耶稣基督的爱里面。也许大家听完之后会觉得有点过于理论,没有关系,实践的东西还有很多。大家仔细去观察,你就能得出同样的结论。教会如果可以胜过阴间的权势,那是一个非常好的证明。 **我要把天国的钥匙给你,凡你在地上所捆绑的,在天上也要捆绑;凡你在地上所释放的,在天上也要释放。(《马太福音》16:19)**

**我爱你们,正如父爱我一样;你们要常在我的爱里。 你们若遵守我的命令,就常在我的爱里,正如我遵守了我父的命令,常在他的爱里。(《约翰福音》15:9-10)** 遵守主耶稣的命令,到底是一个什么样的命令呢?约翰写《约翰福音》的时候,其实冥冥之中就有这样的安排: **你们当信我,我在父里面,父在我里面;即或不信,也当因我所做的事信我。 我实实在在地告诉你们,我所做的事,信我的人也要做,并且要做比这更大的事,因为我往父那里去。 你们奉我的名无论求什么,我必成就,叫父因儿子得荣耀。 你们若奉我的名求什么,我必成就。(《约翰福音》14:11-14 )**

你仔细琢磨一下,常在主里面其实就是遵守神的命令。我们一直以为常在主的爱里就是领受神的爱,其实不是,实际上是把神的爱分赐出去。什么是爱呢? **爱是恒久忍耐,又有恩慈;爱是不嫉妒,爱是不自夸,不张狂,不作害羞的事,不求自己的益处,不轻易发怒,不计算人的恶,不喜欢不义,只喜欢真理;凡事包容,凡事相信,凡事盼望,凡事忍耐。(《哥林多前书》13:4-7)** 爱就是要给出去。如果我们常在主的爱里,我们就会做耶稣所做的事。谨守遵行神的命令,最好的样板就是主耶稣,再找一个次等好的,那就是使徒保罗。如果主耶稣和使徒保罗是我们样板的话,那我们就做主耶稣所做的事,那主耶稣所做的事就是我们应该做的事,而且在《约翰福音》里面清清楚楚。 **我实实在在地告诉你们,我所做的事,信我的人也要做,并且要做比这更大的事,因为我往父那里去。 (《约翰福音》14:12)**

主耶稣做的大部分事情都是医治释放,那就是主的爱。看到一个被鬼压制的,一个驼背多年的,主耶稣就把他们从魔鬼的辖制当中释放出来。结果法利赛人不高兴了,因为他们觉得主耶稣违背了安息日。那耶稣基督的论点是什么呢?难道被魔鬼压制的这个神的百姓,在安息日不应该被释放出来吗?其实医治释放是教会最重要的工作。从《马太福音》一直到《约翰福音》,我们会看到耶稣基督做的就是释放被掳的人。 **主耶和华的灵在我身上,因为耶和华用膏膏我,叫我传好信息给谦卑的人,差遣我医好伤心的人,报告被掳的得释放,被囚的出监牢。(《以赛亚书》61:1)** 其实神的爱正是如此,耶稣基督为我们的罪死在十字架上,神的爱在此就显明了。 **哪知他为我们的过犯受害,为我们的罪孽压伤。因他受的刑罚,我们得平安;因他受的鞭伤,我们得医治。(《以赛亚书》53:5)**

也就是如此,神的爱透过耶稣基督的摆上显明了。但是今天教会失去了能力,然后不能释放那些被捆绑的,结果魔鬼释放了很多的谎言:医治释放是不重要的,那是灵恩派,那可能是异端,你要小心,上天堂才重要啊,不要搞到自己进到异端里,最后连天堂也进不去了。这种谎言是非常厉害的。 很多人以为自己是正统,我们就一起看看《圣经》到底是怎么说的。我们看见被魔鬼辖制的,被疾病捆绑的,不去释放他们难道就叫做爱心吗?没关系,你将来可以上天堂。其实当魔鬼在人身上的时候,如果这个人找他的牧者,牧者应当释放神的爱,就能把他从魔鬼的辖制中释放出来。 **你们奉我的名无论求什么,我必成就,叫父因儿子得荣耀。(《约翰福音》14:13)** 你仔细琢磨一下,是不是这样的话呢?其实叫父得荣耀和医治释放紧密相关,我可以举诸多的例子。 **甚至众人都希奇,因为看见哑巴说话,残疾的痊愈,瘸子行走,瞎子看见,他们就归荣耀给以色列的神(《马太福音》15:31)**

如果是归荣耀给神,我们再去看《路加福音》,基本上都是在讲这样的话。 **那人当众人面前立刻起来,拿着他所躺卧的褥子回家去,归荣耀与神。众人都惊奇,也归荣耀与神,并且满心惧怕说:我们今日看见非常的事了。(《路加福音》5:25—26)** 如果你给一个瞎子一碗饭吃,那不是神的荣耀,那大概就是一个怜悯和恩典,但《圣经》没有讲到神的荣耀跟这样的事情有关。你做医治释放把鬼赶出去,把被鬼压制的释放出来,那叫做归荣耀与神。所以我们一听说归荣耀与神,基本上都是在说这句话。 **安息日,耶稣在会堂里教训人。有一个女人被鬼附着,病了十八年,腰弯得一点直不起来。耶稣看见,便叫过她来,对她说:女人,你脱离这病了!于是用两只手按着她,她立刻直起腰来,就归荣耀与神。(《路加福音》13:10—13)** 这样的例子有很多。 **瞎子立刻看见了,就跟随耶稣,一路归荣耀与神。众人看见这事,也赞美神。(《路加福音》18:43)**

我们要确切的知道一件事情,一个被鬼压制的人,把他从压制中释放出来,是因为这个教会在耶稣基督的爱里,然后这个牧者跟这个人在爱里有一个连接,释放了神的大能,神的荣耀就被彰显出来。我们会看到很多这样的事情,《约翰福音》里也记载这样的事情。 **耶稣过去的时候,看见一个人生来是瞎眼的。门徒问耶稣说:拉比,这人生来是瞎眼的,是谁犯了罪?是这人呢?是他父母呢?耶稣回答说:也不是这人犯了罪,也不是他父母犯了罪,是要在他身上显出神的作为来。(《约翰福音》9:1-3)** 生来就是瞎子的能够看见,就显明了神的荣耀和作为。所以在《约翰福音》第九章,耶稣就非常的感慨,感慨人竟然不知道,看见这样的事情,人的灵性居然是如此的麻木。 **所以法利赛人第二次叫了那从前瞎眼的人来,对他说:你该将荣耀归给神,我们知道这人是个罪人。他说:他是个罪人不是,我不知道;有一件事我知道,从前我是眼瞎的,如今能看见了。他们就问他说:他向你作什么?是怎么开了你的眼睛呢?他回答说:我方才告诉你们,你们不听,为什么又要听呢?莫非你们也要作他的门徒吗?** **他们就骂他说:你是他的门徒,我们是摩西的门徒。神对摩西说话,是我们知道的;只是这个人,我们不知道他从哪里来。那人回答说:他开了我的眼睛,你们竟不知道他从哪里来,这真是奇怪!我们知道神不听罪人,惟有敬奉神遵行他旨意的,神才听他。从创世以来,未曾听见有人把生来是瞎子的眼睛开了。这人若不是从神来的,什么也不能作。(《约翰福音》9:24-33)** **耶稣说:我为审判到这世上来,叫不能看见的,可以看见;能看见的,反瞎了眼。(《约翰福音》9:39)**

我要让大家确切的知道,神为什么在我们当中彰显出这么强烈的能力和荣耀,让我们这么多人得医治?其实我可以说一句夸口的话,在我们当中不蒙祝福,不得医治的都很难。因为我们所建立的教会是彼此相爱的教会,我们建立的教会是一间牧养的教会,我们是在耶稣基督的爱里,我们常在主里面,我们就结出这样的果子来。 所以建立教会要建立彼此相爱的教会,千万不要建立没有神的爱的教会,我们遵守神的命令,效法神,效法耶稣基督,难道有问题吗?其实什么问题都没有。我们在耶稣基督里,在爱里与主合一,做主耶稣所做的事,这是必须的!这是一个充满神爱的教会,因为把魔鬼所压制的人都释放了出来,我们如果夸口,就藉着主透过我们做的事夸口。 我讲过一篇道,叫《不求自己的益处》,有人听了就不太认同:你这完全在吹嘘自己。就算我吹嘘自己,我也有本钱吹嘘自己,如果我夸口是为了我自己而夸口,那就什么都不算,但是我是在主耶稣基督里,因着主耶稣透过我们所做的事夸口,在主的爱里就多结果子。 其实我们不是口头说说而已,很多人喜欢说:主耶稣爱你,我也爱你.....这种话我们从来不说。这种人叫作嘴炮,谈匠。看见人被鬼辖制,看见人在病痛当中,没有任何本事把他们释放出来,然后假装看不见,并说:你要小心异端,你要小心灵恩!我就很奇怪,这些人为什么不把被鬼辖制的人释放出来,反而那么在乎异端,那么在乎灵恩?难道耶稣基督不是灵恩吗?难道使徒保罗不是灵恩吗?也许他们所说的灵恩和我们所说的灵恩不太一样。 我看见几个姐妹在晚上服侍一个发烧的孩子,好几个小时就为那个孩子祷告,我相当的感慨:神啊,我感谢你!感谢你让我们当中的弟兄姐妹们如此的有爱心,如此的去服侍那些被鬼压制的人!我相信她们如此的服侍会得着极大的恩典,因为那是在释放神的爱。 弟兄姐妹们开始逐渐了解,现在有很多弟兄姐妹不干实事,就在WhatsApp里打几个字:姐妹,我会为你祷告的。却根本不在乎那个姐妹或者弟兄有没有得释放,反正我祷告了。其实这样的事在各行各业都有。比如说老师在台上讲一大堆,反正我把教育部所要求的都讲了,至于下面的人听没听见,听没听懂,根本不是我的问题,你说这样的老师多可恶啊!如果是这样的牧师,那就更可恶了。 弟兄姐妹们要开始了解,没有结果怎么能叫做服侍呢?被鬼所辖制的人来找牧者,那个牧者没有一丁点的爱心:你自己好好祷告。那简直就是鬼话连篇!所以我们在不断的训练各种各样的牧者,可以服侍各种各样的人。如果我们做基督徒,我们就必须多结果子。

这句话在哪儿呢? **你们若常在我里面,我的话也常在你们里面,凡你们所愿意的,祈求,就给你们成就。你们多结果子,我父就因此得荣耀,你们也就是我的门徒了。(《约翰福音》15:7)** **不是你们拣选了我,是我拣选了你们,并且分派你们去结果子,叫你们的果子常存,使你们奉我的名,无论向父求什么,他就赐给你们。我这样吩咐你们,是要叫你们彼此相爱。(《约翰福音》15:16-17)** 我们只要稍微有点语文的水平,不一定要很高,就能很直白的读出:你们多结果子,我父就因此得荣耀,所以你们所祈求的,就给你们成就,这叫结果子。

**不是你们拣选了我,是我拣选了你们;并且分派你们去结果子,叫你们的果子常存,使你们奉我的名,无论向父求什么,他就赐给你们。我这样吩咐你们,是要叫你们彼此相爱。(《约翰福音》15:16-17)** 这结果子的意思是什么呢?就是彼此相爱的结果,一个被鬼辖制的人要来找你,要结果子,你可以把神的爱释放出来,然后让那个被辖制的人得释放,这不就是我们所求的吗?我们求的不是要成为一个百万富翁,要成为一个有钱人,想吃好的,想出国旅游。其实我们不求自己的益处,我们求的是这些人能够从魔鬼的辖制里得释放,这就是看见了神的爱,彼此相爱是什么意思呢?就是人需要我们的时候,我们就在那里释放他们,帮助他们。 弟兄姐妹一定要知道,这结果子到底结的是什么。很多人以为结果子就是把自己修行成像神仙一样,像天使一样,其实那是错误的观念。我们长存的果子就是我们服侍的果效,如果我们的服侍有神与我们同行,我们每一次的服侍,都看见神透过我们的祷告来彰显祂的作为,这就叫长存的果子。 如果你自己修桥建路,那东西应该不太需要神,你自己就能搞定,因为一个属肉体的人也能做到。但是,把一个人从魔鬼的辖制当中释放出来,那是主耶稣做的最多的,那就是服侍的果效。

**我听见从天上有声音说:你要写下,从今以后,在主里面而死的人有福了!圣灵说:是的,他们息了自己的劳苦,做工的果效也随着他们。 (《启示录》14:13)** 我们做工的果效会随着我们,这叫释放天父的爱。 **与喜乐的人要同乐,与哀哭的人要同哭(《罗马书》12:15)。** 保罗说与哀哭的同哭,体会那些被鬼辖制的人,我们真的要体谅那些被鬼辖制的人。其实随着我们的服侍,我们的爱心会渐渐冷淡,爱心冷淡后,对这些事情就会变得非常的冷漠,直到今天我还是非常的小心,因为神带到我们当中的,我们都竭尽全力去服侍他,除非他有一天把我们当做一只破鞋丢掉,不需要我们服侍了,那我们就不服侍了。所以我们真的要与哀哭的同哭,体会那些被鬼辖制的人的感受。

今天的教会有一个错觉,就是忘了教会应该彼此相爱,然后去服侍那些有需要的人。今天有很多一万人,两万人,三万人的教会,他们有一个共同的特点,就是喜欢一大群人一起聚会,敬拜,搞的像音乐会一样,每个人都告诉旁边的人:耶稣爱你,我也爱你。 我就不明白了,一万人进去坐在那里,跟你旁边的人也不认识,却说耶稣爱你,我也爱你,这让我很难理解。我如果对一个陌生人说我爱他,可能人家会说我非礼。那怎么去彼此相爱,我一直也没弄明白,只不过是嘴上说说而已。 但是我在《圣经》当中仔细查考的时候,我发现两三个人奉主的名相聚,神就在我们当中。这很有意思,主啊,怎么是两三个人呢?为什么不是两万个人呢?两三万人怎么去落实彼此相爱呢?这我是不知道,但是两三个人能够落实彼此相爱,你知道我,我也认识你,你被鬼辖制,我愿意牧养你,就把你从魔鬼的辖制当中释放出来,这就叫做教会。 其实教会不一定要两三万人就叫做有神的同在,有人就觉得两三万人不会整错,其实就算是二三十万人,两三百万人又能说明什么呢?如果没有去落实神的爱,没有牧养的关系,就算是两三亿人又能怎样呢?也说明不了任何问题啊!因为《圣经》里没有这么说。

所以弟兄姐妹们一定要知道,两三个人奉主的名相聚,就是靠着主的名建立起来的关系,其中有牧者也有羊。当然这是我说的,你可以不认同。两三个人在一起彼此相爱,彼此服侍,这会结出什么样的果子呢?就是赶鬼,释放被掳的灵魂,释放被压制的百姓。弟兄姐妹们,自私的人是不可能结出果子的,为什么呢?如果你爱你自己,我爱我自己,他爱他自己,三个人爱自己的人聚在一起,那叫奉主的名吗?比较像奉魔鬼的名。 我们要琢磨一下,我们建立的教会到底是不是一个释放神的大能,释放神的爱,彰显神荣耀的教会?前一段时间我带祷告的时候提出了一个问题,你琢磨一下自己在前一年做了什么?你结出了什么果子?你爱自己很多有什么用?没什么用,只有一个用处就是悔改。 最近我收到一通电话,是一个姐妹打来的,其实她是一个非常自私的人,她只顾她自己,她的钱,她的工作,她的房子,所有的都是围绕她自己,她自己竟然不知道!她跟着我的录音祷告的时候,听到我说:这一年你究竟做了什么呢?她想了想,她只做了一件事,就是做了一个自私的人。后来她就悔改,哭的稀里哗啦的,就琢磨自己其实什么都没做。 对她来说,这一年简直就是混乱的一年。但其实这一年我们做了很多,经常要服侍她,而且服侍起她来可费劲了。我们不止一次的告诉她:你是一个自私的人。她听完当然很不爽,但其实还真的是那么一回事,如今她才彻底的明白我们在说什么,她决定悔改! 我觉得我们的神真是太奇妙了,这不是我们所能做的,这是神做的。结出果子,就是把一个人从魔鬼的谎言当中释放出来,从自私自利的价值体系当中释放出来。开始进入到建造神荣耀教会的命定当中,我想得着祝福那是一件很容易的事,因为合了神的心意。 我还服侍了另外一个人,也挺自私的,但她自己不知道。我和她的关系不是特别的近,不敢直接说出来,我就告诉她:你自己仔细琢磨一下。她说:我需要琢磨什么?你就琢磨我和你说的话吧!我说得稍微有点委婉。

其实自私的人都不知道自己是自私的,但是你看你付的代价和结果就知道了,你释放了谁,你祝福了谁,你做了什么呢?你说你修桥建路,那不算。其实我们人啊,就算是罪人也会爱自己所爱的人,这很容易。但是今天如果我们所爱的人都爱不了,我们岂不是要反思自己?我鼓励大家学会付代价,那是一种态度,那是一种信心。仔细琢磨一下你都做了什么?你做了什么项目,开发了什么产品,那是永存的果子吗?不是啊。如果你所结的果子和该隐的果子差不多,那没什么用! 弟兄姐妹们,常在主的爱里就会多结果子,就是多结你所释放出来的神的爱的果子,这个果子就是把很多人从辖制当中释放出来。因为那需要很多的耐心,很多的争战,很多的体力,很多的辛苦。如果是一个自私的人,那真的是很难啊!我经常遇到自私的人,有些自私的人又走上牧师的岗位,那简直就是一个悲剧啊!将来怎么跟神交差呢? 比如说有一个牧师,到了晚上10点半的时候,我打电话给他,怎么打都打不通。后来第二天早上,我问他为什么电话打不通。他说:我每天晚上10点关机。我心里说:我的天哪,你这样子做,你妈有事都找不到你啊!当然我的话有点损,可是问题的关键是如果羊遇到问题,那他怎么找你呢?当然找不着你了,你都关机了怎么找你啊?我们真得仔细琢磨琢磨。弟兄姐妹们要知道,一定要做一个好牧人,要不然被鬼辖制的人怎么可能来找你?如果被鬼辖制的人来找我,我一定会把他释放出来,因为好牧人为羊舍命。

**你们要彼此相爱,像我爱你们一样,这就是我的命令。人为朋友舍命,人的爱心没有比这个大的。(《约翰福音》15:12-13)** 好牧人为羊舍命和不求自己的益处这些事,很多人都说做不到。为什么做不到呢?如果做不到你不就得受咒诅吗?你里面到底有没有神的爱,你里面是不是自私,看看你自己活的结果就知道了。我们当中有一个姐妹,这个姐妹脑子里只有她的三个孩子,她的老公,她婆婆和她的家人,哪来的命定呢? 我告诉她:你如果继续走这样的路,结果你是知道的,但是你可以选择改变,可以选择做一个有命定的人,我们所遇到的问题就必然会看见神的祝福。今天好牧人为羊舍命这样的事情不常见,但是我觉得,我在这里吹个牛,你要是不喜欢听的话,没关系,但事实的确如此。我的门徒真的很有福,他们比我有福多了,因为我没有碰见一个牧者为我舍命,但是我所服侍的人,我真的为他们付上很沉重的代价。

为什么说他们比我有福呢?因为他们比我有一个好的牧者。过去这些年我没有碰到一个好的牧者,这是我的一个悲哀,但是也是一个非常值得庆幸的事,好让我横下一条心,无论如何都效法我们的主耶稣,好牧人为羊舍命。在我所服侍的人当中,我不求他们为我做工,我只求他们的成长。其实一个牧师所追求的是什么,就知道他所建立的教会是什么。 当然有的人觉得:你就是会说而已。我也的确会说,而且的确说的有道。我为什么要你服侍呢?因为你不服侍,你就不能够成长。我只求你的成长,这有问题吗?没有问题!但是有一些牧师却不是这样的。我服侍过一个其他教会的牧者,这个牧者得了脑积水,那这个牧者的牧师在哪儿呢?在教会里忙他自己的工作,根本没有把他所服侍的门徒当做一个羊来好好的牧养,还给了他很大的压力,结果这个牧者就得了脑积水。 得了脑积水了以后,也没看见他的牧师为他做了什么,口口声声称自己是一个灵恩派的教会,自己的门徒得了脑积水,却不能够把他从魔鬼的辖制中释放出来,脑袋里想的只是聚会的人数!真的很悲哀啊!得了脑积水的这个牧者其实很辛苦,他负责的牧区有好几百人,小组长换了很多个人,每次换人他都要自己去管,那是非常辛苦的,结果最后累到得了脑积水。

其实如果跟我一起服侍的话,不会变成这样,我不会给你增加这样的压力,因为我不要求人数,我也不要求奉献, 我只要求你成长,你想,跟着我不是挺有福的吗?最近也遇到了几位牧师,其中一个牧师被派到了印尼,后来这个教会换了一个新的主任牧师,新的主任牧师一上台,就把他叫到办公室:我们不再需要你了,你不再是我们的同工了,也没有薪水了,因为教会要节省开支。 你想,连自己的同工都这么对待,那底下的羊会怎么样呢?底下的羊肯定是饿的干瘪干瘪的。还有个牧师,别人给他发了一个信息:你一定要把教会的人数涨到这个人数。那为什么要涨到一定的人数呢?因为教会需要钱,教会需要奉献,需要人。结果这个同工就很辛苦。 这个世代是一个需要好牧人的世代,如果我们是好牧人,神就必在我们当中!当然我说好牧人为羊舍命的时候,有的羊也挺坏,披着一个羊皮:你为我舍命啊,这可是你说的啊,你可要为我舍命啊,你可得做得到啊!我听了以后,就说我为羊舍命,可是你是只狼啊。 其实他听反了,我是说给我们弟兄姐妹听的,我付的代价是要为神负责,而你付了什么代价呢?你是主的门徒吗?如果是的话,就应当问自己是不是一个爱主的人,如果是爱主的人,就牧养神的群羊,如果牧养神的群羊,你是不是把神的群羊给煮了吃呢?如果你和我说,你要为我舍命。那你会为你的羊舍命吗?我想这种人如果在主耶稣基督的年代,他就会告诉主耶稣:如果你是神的儿子,你就救你自己吧。

其实我里面有很深的期盼,期盼每个弟兄姐妹都能够成为一个为羊舍命的好牧人,每一个弟兄姐妹都能够结出果子来,每一个弟兄姐妹都能够在服侍当中成长。前一段时间我告诉一个姐妹:你再不服侍就不能够继续成长了,你不服侍就只能在我们教会当中听听道,然后就这么一直走下去,你需要挑战你自私的底线,你要成为一个好牧人。好牧人为羊舍命,时间就是生命,你能不能舍点时间呢?你舍一点,再多一点,你就成为一个为羊舍命的好牧人。 当我讲这些的时候,其实心里面有点害怕,你可能会听出来,为什么呢?因为前一段时间我受了小小的伤害,我被邀请到一个地方去分享。本来我不太想分享,他们非得把我推上去。我上去分享的时候就说,要尽心尽力尽意爱主你的神,我讲了很多现象,比如很多牧师缺少爱心的现象。结果下面的牧师们听了以后,他们就对号入座了,听完是脸黑一块,白一块,一直给我们打手势,叫我别再讲了。最后人家给我一句话:就你行!从这以后,我说话就有点结巴,为什么呢?因为我就怕人家给我说:就你行。其实不是我行,是神行,神要的教会就是在主的爱里连接而成的。 我曾经服侍过一个有钱人,这个有钱人的姐妹遇到过很多牧师,很多牧师根本不在乎她的问题,只在乎她的钱,因为她很有钱。我看到之后就觉得非常的难过,你想人家图她的钱,她能不知道吗?她是一个非常聪明的人。后来我去探访她的时候,她告诉我:只有你一个牧师关心我的问题。我听完以后很心碎啊!她接待了这么多的牧者,却没有一个关心她的问题,只在乎她把钱给他们。

教会要建立在牧养的根基上,那什么叫做牧养?牧养就是把人从魔鬼的辖制当中释放出来,把他属肉体的恶习破除掉,把神的话放在他的里面,然后考核他如何落实神的话语。这就是我们华人命定神学的牧养体系。今天很多教会都只聚会,其实教会不应该是一个聚会的教会,教会应该是牧养的教会,教会不是给人一个舞台让人表演,而是让人在教会里释放神的爱。这个世代神正在击碎,剪除那些不合乎神心意的教会和基督徒,就像这段经文所说的。 **我是真葡萄树,我父是栽培的人。凡属我不结果子的枝子,他就剪去;凡结果子的,他就修理干净,使枝子结果子更多。(《约翰福音》15:1-2)** 如果你不能结出果子,把神的爱释放出去,那你是干啥的呢?你就是一个自私的人。自私的人怎么可能建立神荣耀的教会呢?怎么把人从魔鬼的手里给释放出来呢?如果你听了我的话感到扎心,你必须做出一个选择,到底是做一个合神心意的门徒,在主耶稣基督爱里成长?还是要做一个自私自利,只爱自己的人呢?

其实羊要与牧者连接,羊在被魔鬼压制的时候,牧者要挺身而出,在旧约里,大卫牧养羊的时候,如果羊被狮子,熊,老虎,狼叼走,他就把羊从它们口里抢回来,那是冒着生命的危险把羊抢回来的!所以弟兄姐妹们要确切的知道,神要的牧人正是这样的,雅各在他舅舅拉班家放羊的时候也是如此。 我们要有一个牧者的心态,要与哀哭的同哭,与喜乐的人同乐。羊要与牧者连接,逐渐成长,满有耶稣基督的身量!能理解我说的话吗?现在羊不像羊,牧者不像牧者,教会不像教会,国家不像国家,这样的事情相当的普遍。今天我们要带来一场改变,要把教会建立成释放神的爱的地方。 **他所赐的有使徒,有先知,有传福音的,有牧师和教师。为要成全圣徒,各尽其职,建立基督的身体,直等到我们众人在真道上同归于一,认识神的儿子,得以长大成人,满有基督长成的身量,使我们不再作小孩子,中了人的诡计和欺骗的法术,被一切异教之风摇动,飘来飘去,就随从各样的异端。惟用爱心说诚实话,凡事长进,连于元首基督。全身都靠他联络得合式,百节各按各职,照着各体的功用彼此相助,便叫身体渐渐增长,在爱中建立自己。(《以弗所书》4:11-16)**

我想做个总结,这个总结就叫在爱中成长,在爱中连接,为神多结果子!我期盼我们每一个人都被神兴起来,成为一个爱神,牧养神群羊的人。 **他们吃完了早饭,耶稣对西门彼得说:约翰的儿子西门,你爱我比这些更深吗?彼得说:主啊,是的,你知道我爱你。耶稣对他说:你喂养我的小羊。耶稣第二次又对他说:约翰的儿子西门,你爱我吗?彼得说:主啊,是的,你知道我爱你。耶稣说:你牧养我的羊。第三次对他说:约翰的儿子西门,你爱我吗?彼得因为耶稣第三次对他说,你爱我吗,就忧愁,对耶稣说:主啊,你是无所不知的,你知道我爱你。耶稣说:你喂养我的羊。(《约翰福音》21:15-17)** 牧养神的群羊才是神所关心的,你是一个爱神的人吗?如果你是不爱神的人,那就可咒可诅,如果你爱神,就一定会被神兴起来,成为一个牧养神群羊的人。这个世代需要好牧人,这个世代也需要羊能够和他的牧者在爱中连接。 弟兄姐妹,我们是不是要重新审查自己?我做梦都希望我们当中的弟兄姐妹能成为一个蒙福的人,蒙福的人就是爱神的人,谨守祂诫命的人!所以弟兄姐妹,就让我们彻底的对付我们里面错误的逻辑体系,彻底的破除一切属世界的,今世的风俗,让我们成为爱神的人,来彰显神的荣耀! 愿神祝福大家!

Can Christians play Honor of Kings? If not, why?

Comment: Can Christians play Honor of Kings? If not, why? Reply: Yes, you can play it to death! The question is not whether you can play it, but what benefit does it bring you! If there is no benefit, aren't you a very foolish person? All things are lawful, but not all things are helpful. Isn't it a tragedy if a person spends their whole life doing things that are not beneficial to themselves or others?

The pastor speaks so well, I am still praying for myself and my son... I feel like an orphan in the world, I can only count on the love of the Heavenly Father. Is the pastor going to America? My son has had severe autism for 15 years.
