Introduction
Today, I want to share with you a very challenging topic: The God Who Raises the Dead and Creates Something Out of Nothing. If you hear this topic, you will feel that believing in such a God is a very wonderful thing. I super love my God. Every time I go to any place, I will tell people about my God. Later, they gave me a nickname, called Christian.
Actually, no matter what I do, I am very prosperous, because I have divine assistance. Our generation has a very interesting term. They do not believe in God, but they invented a word called divine assistance. It is an invisible hand. Blessed people, you will find that hand is helping him. Unlucky people, that invisible hand is ruining him. So today, I especially love our God, the God we believe in, because He is the God who raises the dead and creates something out of nothing.
Many people cannot understand why I trust in this God so much. Trusting in God is a very good thing. Some people have to rely on themselves. Then you slowly rely on it, I wish you good luck! Because they do not know that our God is a treasure, so sometimes I see those Christians do so badly. They are muddle-headed and perfunctory as Christians. They do not know what they are believing in. They just sit in the church. Such Christians, whether it is SARS or Wuhan pneumonia, they are all panic-stricken.
Last Sunday's theme was Abounding in Hope Through the Power of the Holy Spirit. The scripture was taken from Romans 15:13:
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. (Romans 15:13)
There is a sentence in it called fill our hearts with all joy and peace through faith. Faith is very important. Today, when I talk about this topic, I have given myself a difficult problem. This word faith is particularly difficult to explain. Today, you ask many Christians: Do you believe in Jesus? He said: Believe in Jesus. But does he really believe in Jesus? I asked: Lord Jesus, is that called believing in Jesus? Lord Jesus said: That is called unbelief. Today, if Jesus personally came to our generation, he would also criticize today's Christians: You unbelieving generation, you of little faith! It is still these. In fact, faith is the most important lesson in a person's life.
Recently, the Wuhan pneumonia incident has become a hot topic, and everyone is talking about it. Recently, this businessman has been looking for masks everywhere. If there are masks and a source of goods, it will be great. In the Wuhan pneumonia incident, some local Christians contracted Wuhan pneumonia and were quarantined, and one entered the intensive care unit. The pastor of his church had to explain this phenomenon to the brothers and sisters, and I think this is too difficult.
If it were me, I would feel that this is very difficult to explain. Why did the brothers and sisters of the church contract Wuhan pneumonia? Is not the God we believe in the God who raises the dead and creates something out of nothing? Does not our Jesus Christ cleanse leprosy with one touch? When our Apostle Paul arrived on that island and touched the island owner's father, was not the island owner's father healed? Today, not to mention the Wuhan pneumonia, in fact, many other problems in the church cannot be explained. Is not it a painful thing to have to explain when you cannot explain? As a result, he uploaded his explanation to YouTube, and I was very curious and went to listen to it.
He talked about suffering. He said: There is suffering in the world, but there is peace in Jesus Christ. Then he also talked about This momentary light affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, the righteous will have many afflictions. Then he also said: Everything will be fine in heaven in the future. Although he also reminded the church to reflect, he just did not say whether our faith is right. Whether the faith is right or wrong is a very big knowledge.
Today, I am talking about The God Who Raises the Dead and Creates Something Out of Nothing. In fact, I am talking about what exactly the word faith is. Of course, this pastor, inevitably, I am already very accustomed to this way of explanation. They said: Look, Paul also has a thorn in his flesh. Paul has a thorn in his flesh because Paul deserves this thorn. Today, looking around, many Christians are not worthy of this thorn. Paul was afraid that he would be proud because he was too capable.
But today's Christians are round-faced and have no ability at all. They pray all day long: God, please let scientists invent a drug quickly. I think, God will feel uncomfortable when He hears such prayers on His throne. Our God is the God who raises the dead and creates something out of nothing. Today, I serve a sister, and this sister asked me a very strange question, because she came from a traditional church. She thought this question could stump me. She said: Some people in the hospital took medicine and got better. Explain this to me. I said that the Bible does not explain this matter. There are many unbelievers in this world who live like that. Are not they living well? This does not need to be explained. Because we believe in Jesus, so we should read the Bible well.
Today, this sentence The God Who Raises the Dead and Creates Something Out of Nothing was written by Paul in the Book of Romans. He said: Abraham believed in the God who raises the dead and creates something out of nothing. So today, I want to raise a sharp question, What exactly do we believe in; what kind of faith is our faith; what kind of faith is truly called faith, and how can we know that such faith is true faith. This topic is so difficult. This week, I spent a long time doing this research, and it exhausted me. If we do not understand these things, we will always have endless problems to explain, which is too confusing.
Today, if we see a few brothers and sisters in the church contracting Wuhan pneumonia, as long as we read the Bible a little more carefully, we will have great confusion, that is, the phenomenon we see now cannot be reconciled with the Bible we read. For example, we read Psalm 91. Recently, this scripture has become popular on the Internet, because Psalm 91 talks about poison and plagues.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. (Psalm 91:2-8)
However, what we see today is that disasters often come near. Today, I am here to solve everyone's confusion. The problem is not in the passage they declared, but in the passage that follows, they have not read it. In Psalm 91, it says:
“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” (Psalm 91:14-16)
There is an important thing here that is to love God wholeheartedly. I have preached a sermon before, and the name is Love God Wholeheartedly. I encourage everyone to listen to it when you have time. The phrase love God wholeheartedly cannot be missed. Today, you pat your chest and say: Do I love God? This is a very confusing thing for me. If our God is the God who raises the dead and creates something out of nothing, why can’t we love Him wholeheartedly?
My theological concept is the concept of loving God wholeheartedly. Some people ask me: Is this grace gospel? Is it success theology? Is it evangelical? I said: My theological concept is Chinese Mingding Destiny. Ours is a theology of fighting for victory and obtaining promises, paying the price to be disciples, and manifesting God's power and glory. We do not explain and explain, or defend ourselves. We know that we have not done it right, so we start to adjust. We are constantly pursuing and constantly adjusting. Then we constantly know God, and in this process, we personally see God's glory.
So, the topic I am talking about today is The God Who Raises the Dead and Creates Something Out of Nothing, which is about why we believe in this God, what we believe in, and how we can believe in it correctly. If you ask me to explain why those Christians entered the hospital and contracted Wuhan pneumonia, how did the pneumonia virus target them? If you ask me to explain, it is very easy. If I were the pastor who shepherds them, I should know that they have many bad habits and they should repent.
Why do we still talk about their suffering to bear an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison? Bearing an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison is not achieved in this way. I have never heard of it, nor is it mentioned in the Bible: God gives you cancer so that you can bear this eternal weight of glory. I have not seen God say: I give you cancer, give you a long and lasting illness, the greatest and longest disaster, called giving you a blessing, that is a curse.** Because not keeping and obeying God's words, the essence is still not believing God's words.**
If you ask me to explain, I will explain it this way, so I am not pleasing to people, because my mouth is very smelly, which is not important. What is important is that I am pleasing to God. If you really believe what I say, although I am very sharp and unpleasant to hear, it is really edifying. Many people's faith in Jesus Christ is unbelief. If it is not right, there will be consequences. If it is right, there will also be consequences. A person who does not love God is cursed, even if the devil does not come to torment you, God will send a devil to torment you. I have biblical basis for this statement, such as King Saul in the Bible. King Saul was initially chosen by God to be the king of Israel, but later he did not keep and obey God's commands, so the evil spirit sent from the Lord tormented King Saul. This is what the Bible says.
Our God is doing this. Today, everyone must know that plagues come from God, not from the devil. Blessings also come from God, and curses also come from God. So, I fear my God, because I know who I believe in. He is the God who raises the dead and creates something out of nothing. I have obtained Him, and I have obtained a treasure. Is not it a tragedy if a person obtains such a treasure in his life and does not treat it as a treasure? Therefore, I often feel sad for those people who have experienced the power of God but do not know what they believe in.
There is a sister among us. Later, I scolded her severely. I really love her. She was going to take a license exam. She felt that taking that license exam would glorify God. During the time of the exam, she did not serve or believe in God well, but she felt that she still trusted God very much. After the exam, many of the problems that had been healed in the past came back. Yesterday, I was still praying with her.
Today, there is a kind of people who do not know that our God is a treasure. Whenever something happens, they say to God: God, I will take a leave. Do you know my personality? If you know, the God I believe in and the method I believe in are according to Abraham's faith, so I often see Abraham's presence. I have never said to God: I am very busy at work recently, I want to take a leave. I have never. No matter when, I always put God first. I was born for this, and I came into this world for this. Without God, I do not know what to live for. Therefore, I encourage the brothers and sisters among us to imitate me, and God will be with you.
When the brothers and sisters among us have problems, they say: God, help me. God said: Sorry, I am taking a vacation. When God needs you, you take a vacation; when you need God, God will also take a vacation. Therefore, today we must know that we are individuals. I long for everyone who has listened to what I said to know who we believe in, the God who raises the dead and creates something out of nothing. That is the smartest choice in a person's life. Never play games with God.
Scripture
As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.(Romans 4:17)
Prayer
Lord Jesus, open our spiritual eyes today, let us know that we believe in the God who raises the dead and creates something out of nothing, let us imitate Abraham, and be able to know how precious you are like Abraham; today, let us imitate Abraham’s footsteps and run this path of faith, and let your power be manifested in our bodies, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
Scripture Background
Since the day there was a church or the Bible, the biggest risk that the church has faced from generation to generation is that the powerful gospel has become powerless. Paul knew that the believers in Rome also faced this huge risk, so he wrote the Book of Romans. The content at the beginning of this book is I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes. But the problem is that it is quite common for churches of all ages to believe that the powerful gospel has become powerless, including us today.
In the Book of Romans, Paul uses lengthy arguments to demonstrate Abraham's faith. Why does the church believe that the powerful gospel has become powerless? Because they believe in the God of Tao Te Ching. The God of Tao Te Ching has no power. This is not the God Abraham believed in. Now many Christians say that the Bible no longer needs miracles, and legalize this powerless gospel. The consequence is that there are more problems. For example, if the brothers and sisters get cancer, they will say that this is a blessing in disguise, and start to talk nonsense, with no biblical basis.
Abraham is the father of faith! Paul spent a long time talking about returning to Abraham's faith. Abraham believed in the God who raises the dead and creates something out of nothing. It is great that this letter written by Paul to the church in Rome is included in the Bible! Abraham is the ancestor of the Jews and the ancestor of Jesus Christ. Whether Jews or Gentiles, it is very easy to use as long as Abraham’s faith is brought out.
Abraham did not write the Bible. Moses wrote Genesis more than 400 years after Abraham. The Abraham he wrote has obvious theological views of Moses. Moses' theological view is that believing in God, God counts you as a righteous person, and the righteous person is blessed. What is a righteous person? The Lord does not count us as guilty. Originally we were guilty. As long as we trust in God, God will not count us as guilty. Justification by faith began from Abraham's time.
Justification by faith is very important, because God does not count us as guilty, and the devil is not qualified to touch what you do. God counts us as righteous, and God's curse has no effect on us, because we are righteous before God! If he is a sinner, the devil will legally work in people, that is a hapless ghost. A person is blessed because what he does cannot be touched by the devil. This is the state of being blessed, not to mention that God helps us, with divine assistance, which is great! The sin in people and the devil are a natural pair. The sin in people and the ghosts outside must be dealt with, and as a result, this person becomes a blessed person.
Today, the problem of powerlessness in the church lies here. People do not believe! He thinks he believes, but in fact he does not believe, because his faith is not Abraham's faith, and Abraham's faith is useless. In the years when Jesus came to the world, did the Pharisees believe in God? They all believed in God. Are they descendants of Abraham? They all said they were descendants of Abraham. But Jesus said that their ancestor was not Abraham, but the devil. These Pharisees were very confused when they heard this. Why do you say this? Because the faith inside them was not Abraham's faith.
Today, if you are a Christian and you do not inherit Abraham's faith, I feel sad for you. Is not this a waste? Because the faith inside you is not Abraham's faith. Abraham's faith is a very simple faith. He believes that God raises the dead and makes something out of nothing, and turns all impossibilities into possibilities. But today's Christians are particularly entangled. He does not trust God, he trusts doctors.
I think it is very necessary to take out the Book of Romans today. I really want to restore the power of this gospel like Paul. Martin Luther talked about justification by faith back then, and he only made a beginning. The Book of Romans not only talks about justification by faith, but also talks about this gospel is the power of God. Martin Luther did not restore the power of this gospel. If many people still believe what Martin Luther said today, then they really need to read the Book of Romans carefully and understand this book, because this gospel is the power of God.
If you read the Book of Romans, it is best to read 1 Corinthians again. This book talks about the gospel of Jesus Christ and all are powerful gospels. So our faith should not be based on words of wisdom and persuasion, but should be based on the demonstration of the power of the Holy Spirit, so that your faith does not depend on human wisdom, but only on the power of God.
Abraham Believed in the God Who Raises the Dead and Creates Something from Nothing
Abraham believed in the God who raises the dead and creates something from nothing. In this world, except for Enoch, who walked with God and was taken away by Him, everyone else has died. If you frequently attend funerals, what do you see? If you stand at a crematorium in Wuhan, what do you see? You will see that a person is just a person. If you do not know that you are just a person and think you are God, then you do not need to believe in God.
Abraham was remarkable. He often studied what it means to be alive. Later, he discovered that a person is just a person, not God. Whether a person is rich or poor, their heart is always uneasy. But from the moment I believed in God, my heart was at peace. I felt hopeful. No matter what I encounter, my God will protect me. In whatever I do, my God is my ever-present help. It feels amazing because I know I am just a person.
If people do not know that they are just people or that there is a God in this world, and they think this is just how life is, then there is a big problem. Why did Abraham seek God? Because he found that there was no hope in this world. If you feel that there is much hope in this world, you do not need to seek God. You can rely on yourself and live day by day, dealing with problems as they come. But Abraham's research led him to discover that he needed to seek a God.
Abraham knew that living in this world was meaningless. He wanted to make his life meaningful, so he sought God. He found God, and God began to speak to him. In fact, he did not know where God was; he was just searching randomly. So, brothers and sisters who have come among us, if you want to have Mingding Destiny, you must resolve the issue of life being meaningless. If you feel that life is quite meaningful, you do not need God. Such people will feel that their lives are very meaningful. Abraham felt that life was meaningless, so he sought God. When he knew that the God he believed in was the God who raises the dead and creates something from nothing, his life became meaningful. He was born for this, came into this world for this, lived for this, and died for this. Then his heart was at peace. No matter what he encountered in this world, he believed that God is the God who raises the dead and creates something from nothing.
Even if his son died, God would bring him back to life because he believed that God had promised that his descendants would be like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore, born through Isaac. So Isaac had to be resurrected from the dead. If you have faith like Abraham, it would be extraordinary! You need to know who you believe in. Today, many people think they need to wear masks, and they think Jesus needs to wear masks too. They think Jesus is as incapable as they are. They think God is probably like this, which is problematic.
Abraham believed in the God who raises the dead. Our Jesus Christ rose from the dead without wearing a mask. What can a mask solve? Today, people are panicked without a mask. What can a person prevent? Nothing! If that God who raises the dead and creates something from nothing becomes our God, then we will have confidence in our hearts, and we will not panic when we encounter problems.
Today, we are in such a generation. What is happening in this generation is a great test for us! At this time, we will see who are the true Christians and who are the false Christians, who truly believe in God and who falsely believe in God. Whether it is a mule or a horse, you will know once you take it out for a walk. If a Christian starts to falter during the walk, that belief is useless.
If we truly know that the God we believe in is a God who creates something from nothing, then isn't it a treasure trove? If you truly know this, you will definitely read the Bible carefully, won't you? If you truly know that our God is a God who creates something from nothing, will you not wholeheartedly love God? You will not make a lot of excuses saying that you are very busy. If you get cancer, will you still be busy? If you get cancer, you will not be busy. Can you not be busy now? Actually, it is not that you cannot be not busy; it is because you feel that other things are more important.
Once you get cancer, cancer becomes the most important thing in your life. If you make God the most important thing in your life earlier, wouldn't that be a wise choice? Sometimes, seeing how some people live their lives, I really want to beat them up. Even if I have to use a stick to drive them, I have to drive them into blessing! Because I know that my God is a good God, so I wholeheartedly love Him. Many people ask me, how can you love God so wholeheartedly? Why can't I? After hearing this, I am very touched. Those people are actually afraid of delaying their own affairs.
Recently, we ministered to a mental patient who had just come out of a mental hospital. He also went to university, but his life is basically ruined. But if he believes in God like Abraham, he would not have this problem. He gets a mental illness, prays and gets better, and then goes back to loving the world. How can there be such foolish people in this world?
So today, brothers and sisters, can you put down your work, life, family, and everything else to love this God who can raise the dead and create something from nothing? Abraham made a very wise choice. We often need to choose between God and the world. Do we love the world or do we love God? Some people say, then can you help me solve these problems in my life? Asking such foolish questions, I do not know how to answer. If you have such questions in your heart, then I can only tell you that it is a very foolish question.
The Abraham we are talking about invented a path of faith. The path of faith that Abraham discovered is the path we believe in today, so we run on it. If we know that there is no hope in this world, and we know that we cannot withstand anything, no matter what virus or cancer it is, we cannot withstand it.
Today, we need to learn one thing, which is to wholeheartedly love God. People need to remember one thing, which is that if you wholeheartedly love your wife, you cannot solve these problems; if you wholeheartedly love your husband, you cannot solve these problems; if you wholeheartedly love your children, you cannot solve these problems. Only wholeheartedly loving God can solve them.
You may challenge me, then how can I wholeheartedly love God? Ponder it slowly. The Bible does not explain this in detail. I will tell you what it means to wholeheartedly love God. Not wholeheartedly loving God is called adultery. Do you know what it means to love God? To love God is to pour the strongest emotion onto God. You can do without anything, but you cannot do without God. You can take anything away, but you cannot take my God away. Such a person is powerful. The reason why Adam and Eve failed was because they did not believe. They did not believe in God but believed in the devil, and they were finished immediately. Some people's belief is called disbelief, and some people's belief is called belief. Do not call disbelief belief, because the difference is too great.
How Did Abraham Believe?
Do you want to know? I also want to know. I spent so much effort speaking, preparing and preparing. This week has exhausted me. It is not that I do not know, but to explain it clearly is really a challenging thing. How did Abraham believe? Today, we must resolve what kind of belief is called belief.
Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” (Romans 4:18)
This is well said! For example, if I buy a bag of KFC and put it in my mouth, I believe I can eat KFC. You do not need to believe it; you do not need to believe it at all; you just go and buy it. In other words, everything has conditions. If you have the conditions to do it, if you have the conditions to afford it, then you eat KFC; you do not need to believe. Now, it is believing in the absence of hope, in the absence of any conditions. Why do I believe in a God who creates something from nothing? Because we often do not have such conditions. Some of our brothers and sisters have not received a good education, but not having a good education is not a problem. The problem is to have hope, to still have hope because of believing in God. God will surely make you live very prosperously.
Our God can create something from nothing. In the absence of conditions, in the absence of hope, it is called believing. If both husband and wife are young and energetic, wow, we should have children. It is natural to have children, isn't it? But Abraham was 99 years old, and his wife was over 80 years old, and she did not have menstrual periods anymore. As a result, Abraham believed that he and his wife could have children, and later they really had a child, Isaac. This is called the product of faith.
If a person believes continuously, for one year, two years, three years... continuously believes, once that thing is born, that thing is a treasure! So this Isaac is a treasure in Abraham's eyes. It took many years of hard believing to finally come. It was an extraordinary treasure, but one day God said, Offer this precious son to me, that is, kill him and burn him. That sounds scary! But Abraham believed that God could raise his son from the dead. What kind of faith is this? What if he cannot live? Abraham did not say what if he cannot live. There was no if.
But today, pastors often preach messages with if. If you hear someone say, If you get sick and are not healed, do you still believe in this God? Then you say, I do not need to believe anymore. Because our God is a God of healing, it must be that you did not get it right. If you do not get it right, then you believe in the wrong God? Today, brothers and sisters, we must get it right. Abraham did not say, If my child cannot rise from the dead, I will not believe in God. As a result, God Himself prepared a lamb. Our God is the God who raises the dead and creates something from nothing. The Bible does not teach us what to do in this if situation. We do not believe in these ifs, because that is called disbelief. Our God is the God who raises the dead and creates something from nothing.
I just believe that my God is the God who heals me. If one day I am worthy of Paul's thorn in the flesh, I thank God! But today, how many of us are worthy of Paul's thorn in the flesh? There are very few who are worthy of Paul's thorn in the flesh. Someone once asked me, what do you think if God does not heal Job? I said, You should ask Job! What kind of talk is this? God has already healed Job. Why ask what if God does not heal him? Can people believe in God properly? Can we be like Abraham and not come up with so many ifs?
Today, many people do not understand and have to make this simple thing very complicated. Abraham was very clear about how to believe in God, which is to still believe and be full of hope in the absence of conditions. When many things happened, he still believed in God. He came from Haran to Canaan, and then encountered famine in Canaan. God said, This is the land I promised you. But Abraham believed in God. Would our brothers and sisters wonder, Oh, did God make a mistake? Or did I hear wrong?
Abraham took his family to Egypt, and his wife was taken away by Pharaoh, and then sent back. Then he returned to Canaan from Egypt. He kept struggling. Finally, he returned to Canaan, and his shepherds and his nephew Lot's shepherds quarreled and argued all day long. As a result, he separated from his nephew Lot. He said, If you choose the east, I will choose the west. If you go east, I will go west. Whichever place you think is good, that place is yours. If you want to go this way, I will go that way. As a result, his nephew chose the plains of the Jordan River, which was very fertile land.
Abraham did not take it seriously. If it were us, would we be hurt? Abraham knew that even in barren land, he could be rich through God, because God is a God who creates something from nothing. Today, if we put down all conditions and pour our hearts into God, we will experience God like Abraham. After a few years, Abraham's nephew was penniless, but Abraham lived a wealthy life. This is not strange, because those who trust in God, barren land will turn into gold, and those who trust in God will prosper in everything they do. Our God does not care about whether there are conditions or not. If we live in this world and value children, degrees, and jobs, we will not be able to trust in God, and you will not have Abraham's faith. Abraham had no conditions, and he relied on God to create conditions to do things.
When nothing happens, we are all the same. There is a saying that goes, When the tide goes out, you will know who is not wearing pants. When something happens, you will know whether we have Abraham's faith. There was a brother who I told to believe in the Lord well when I ministered to him. But this brother is busy with work all day and often asks God for leave. Some time ago, I chatted with him and learned that he had lost a lot of money, a very large amount of money. What is the point of being busy but losing so much money? After several waves of viruses, we will know whether we are truly believers or false believers. Among us, no matter what virus or cold it is, it gets better after prayer.
These two days, I received a sister, and I was amazed by the things her church taught. How did they read the Bible? Believing in a powerless gospel. Over the years, this sister has been cold all over. If she prayed here for a while, she would get better, but this sickness has dragged on for a long time on this sister. This sister listened to our sermons on the website. The sermons we preached were different from what she heard in her original church. What her original church preached was not the gospel at all. They talked about heresy all day long. In fact, their own church was a heresy because what they preached was not the gospel in the Bible at all. The gospel in the Bible is powerful. It is the God who raises the dead and creates something from nothing.
So Shall Abraham's Offspring Be
Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” (Romans 4:18)
So shall Abraham's offspring believe. Today, we need to say to God, God, we are Abraham's descendants. We need to have Abraham's blood flowing in our veins, carrying Abraham's genes, because we imitate Abraham's faith. We need to tell God that we have seen through the things of this world. We have seen through life and death, and we have seen through the matter of living. We know that we are human beings and need God, and we need to come out of a vain life. God, put destiny on us, let us become people with destiny, let our faith create the future in the absence of conditions, and let Your gospel shine in an era of desolate faith.
So shall Abraham's offspring be, that is, to believe in this way. If you do not believe in God like Abraham, then you are not his descendant, but the descendant of the devil, which is disbelief. My words are a bit harsh, but I hope you can be stimulated and willingly enter into God's promise, imitate Abraham, inherit God's promise, and become an heir. God's promises in Jesus Christ, no matter how many there are, are Amen. We are Abraham's descendants who claim the promise.
Martin Luther's work is far from finished, and the remaining work is for you and me to do. God wants to raise up this group of us in this generation, to run this road strongly in the desolate situation of the gospel without power, even at the risk of being looked down upon. The sister I ministered to said to me, Is it true that 99% of churches have gotten it wrong? I did not answer directly, but I told her to read the Bible carefully.
Looking around today, there are countless powerless churches. They expect to get solutions from doctors and medicines, but there are very few people who get solutions from God. Our work is very challenging, but for those who believe, all things are possible. We believe, and we know that God will help us. If God is for us, who can be against us? So wherever we go, we have God's presence, and we can be like Abraham, becoming a great prince among the people, with signs and wonders following us.
We must be Abraham' descendants. If I say this, people may retort, Are you the only one who can do it? It does not matter, this is a war of faith, a reformation of faith, restoring the faith that Abraham believed in and the God he believed in, and restoring the era of the powerful gospel. Let us take on our Mingding Destiny and trample on the devil, the enemy, and lies. Do not think that the church with many believers is the right one. When Jesus was nailed to the cross, there were not many people watching under the cross. Jesus was busy in the world for several years, and only five hundred people saw him ascend to heaven on the Mount of Olives. Later, only one hundred and twenty people prayed in the Upper Room, a small number.
Summary
Brothers and sisters, do not get it wrong, do not think that we have made it right, we are striving to pursue. God wants us to restore His powerful gospel in this generation, to restore the true nature of the gospel, at all costs. Many believers have Stockholm syndrome. They believe in this way without power. They have a lot of degrees, but they do not have the power to heal and deliver. They make excuses saying, I do not have this gift, because God distributes gifts according to His will, and God has not given me this gift. Is this Abraham's faith? If we expose them, they have been doing it wrong for so many years, how can they admit it?
Whether you are new to us or listening on the website, brothers and sisters, carefully examine the Bible, strive to pursue, and take on the Mingding Destiny that God has given us for this generation. Restore the powerful gospel, restore the God that Abraham believed in, the God who raises the dead from the dead and creates something from nothing. We have such a treasure inside us, that is, we have a treasure in clay jars. It is our God who wants to show great power, which is not from us, but from God. Today, let us become vessels in God's hands that can bless this generation.
May God bless everyone!
