Introduction
Good morning, brothers and sisters! I am very happy to meet you online today! Today, I want to share with you how a trained mind can discern good from evil. A trained mind is a very good thing, but many people's minds are not trained. In my ministry in the church, I earnestly desire that our brothers and sisters become very intelligent! In fact, everyone wants to become intelligent. This is a topic I have been studying for many years, and today I finally have a breakthrough.
Later, I discovered that people become foolish mainly under spiritual oppression. Where does this evil spirit reside? The evil spirit resides in people's thoughts and minds. If a person's mind is not trained, they are not enlightened, and many problems cannot be solved. The topic I am sharing with you today addresses many problems and phenomena in our church.
In fact, our main goal in this process is to solve problems. Each time we strive to solve problems, we find that we especially need to understand God's truth. Each breakthrough in God's truth, each deeper understanding of God's Word, helps us solve problems effectively, and each solution is based on grasping the truth revealed in God's Word. This has made me deeply realize that the power of our deliverance is not derived from pursuing the power of deliverance itself. The increase in our deliverance power comes from continuously climbing the holy mountain of Jehovah's truth, constantly climbing the mountain of Jehovah, and continuously climbing in the knowledge of God's truth. Later, we discovered something: even evil spirits know our level.
Last week, we shared the topic Masters of Faith. Some unresolved questions remained regarding the training of faith. If the training of faith is not accompanied by intellectual clarity in real life, such reckless faith can lead to tragedy. Most of the topics discussed recently came from Romans. From today onwards, most of my topics will come from Hebrews.
Recently, I heard a story that was simply a tragedy! A pastor and his wife were shepherding a sister in their church. This sister gave birth to a child with cerebral palsy. After the cerebral palsy diagnosis, the couple wanted to exercise their faith. The pastor and his wife prayed for them constantly and had many so-called impressions. As a result, they actually gave birth to a normal child. But one normal child and one child with cerebral palsy were not enough, so the couple continued to pray. The pastor's wife fasted and prayed for a month and confidently told them, This time, we will definitely have a normal child. But the child was born with cerebral palsy. They continued to pray, and the pastor's wife said, This time, it definitely won't be cerebral palsy. But they had another child with cerebral palsy. They came to us, and serving such children is quite difficult and tiring!
Why did such a tragedy happen? It is because our minds are not trained. If our minds were trained, this kind of thing should not have happened. Is this the exercise of faith? For example, many people have such a misconception: I feel very peaceful. These kinds of things cause great distress among our Christians.
A few years ago, I met a sister who had several million dollars. One day, during prayer, she saw a beautiful vision and saw a piece of land. She received a prompting in her heart saying, Buy this piece of land. So she looked everywhere for this land and actually found a piece of land that was exactly the same as the one in her vision. This sister invested several million dollars into it, but the place she invested in was a barren land in a rural area. From an investment perspective, that place wasn't worth that much money. In fact, she was deceived. She spent the money because she believed it was what she sought in the vision, including the price.
Later, she realized that she had been deceived. Is this the operation of faith? This is definitely not the operation of faith. Similar stories include investing in a business or supporting a preacher, only to lose everything. These stories are very tragic. In fact, who wouldn't feel the pain of losing millions of dollars? No matter how enlightened I am, it is still difficult to bear the loss of millions. There are also many people who suffer and endure, but without any effect. Their entire lives are spent in the exercise of faith, but they never become proficient.
Like many among us, a lack of intellectual clarity is quite common. A sister told her pastor, I love listening to Teacher's sermons, they are very good, especially good! Her pastor learned a trick from me and asked the sister, You say it's very good, but what's so good about it? Tell me. What can you put into practice in your life? As a result, she couldn't answer a single word. She just felt good listening to it.
The lack of trained minds is quite common in Christianity. Why am I preaching this kind of sermon? I think we must become intellectually clear. We need to add some new elements to Chinese Mingding Destiny, which is clarity in understanding. The examples I gave earlier all have one thing in common: they were all deceived by demons. Why am I not easily deceived by demons? Because I don't trust my feelings too much, I just believe in God's Word. We must seek a systematic understanding of God's Word and no longer be deceived by the devil's schemes.
Scripture
We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. (Hebrews 5:11-14)
Prayer
God, do a wonderful work among us today, encouraging each of our brothers and sisters to no longer be confused, so that they may deeply know Your Word, grow diligently in the knowledge of Your truth, and grow into maturity, no longer being infants who can only drink milk and are not skilled in the doctrine of righteousness. Today, let our brothers and sisters desire to grow, desire to grow in Your Word, so that we can continue to grow and mature, train our minds, and be able to distinguish good from evil, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
Introduction to Hebrews
The author of Hebrews wants to express a theme: to strive to enter into complete maturity. Today's Christians face several major problems. I often encounter confused Christians who don't seem very clear-headed or enlightened. How sad it is if Christians do not strive to enter into complete maturity! They have already touched the treasure, but the treasure slips from their hands, and they don't know where it has been lost.
The author of Hebrews sees that many Christians in his time, or in our time, die in the wilderness, unable to obtain the promise, hard-hearted . They do not believe, so they cannot enter into God's rest, their hearts are often confused, they do not understand God's actions, they do not learn to grow and mature, they do not strive, and they neglect such a great salvation. They are completely unclear in their understanding and are in a completely confused state in the exercise of faith. Hebrews speaks well, clearly discussing the exercise of faith.
Chapter 1 of Hebrews speaks of the sonship. The author is very moved when he sees the Christians, they like to study angels. When we read the Epistles of Paul, he rarely talks about the stories of angels, he talks about the stories of God working in people. In Chapter 2, it is mentioned that people neglect such a great salvation. As children of God, they actually neglect salvation and are unwilling to pursue it. I like the author of Hebrews. Deep down, I believe that as Christians, we must be outstanding Christians. I encourage everyone to study Hebrews well. I have written a book called Striving to Enter into Complete Maturity, which systematically summarizes Hebrews from the first chapter to the last. It is my most satisfactory book.
If a person exercises true faith, he will gain assurance. True faith has assurance, which is vastly different from what Christians talk about today. For example, we have all read Genesis. Although Joseph was sold into Egypt, he saw God's presence clearly in Egypt as a slave. God not only blessed Joseph, but also blessed Joseph's master, Potiphar. Jacob went to his uncle's house with a staff, although he was poor, God was clearly with Jacob. Jacob's shepherding was very good. His uncle Laban said, I see that God is clearly with you. Through you, God blesses me. When you came, there were not many sheep, but after you came, my sheep have become more. We must know that whether it was Jacob or Joseph, they all had assurance. They did not focus on the negative side. Their faith was well-exercised. Today's Christians are like what is written in Hebrews:
So, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness, where your ancestors tested and tried me, though for forty years they saw what I did. That is why I was angry with that generation; I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.’ So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’” (Hebrews 3:7-11)
Today, Christians whose hearts are often confused are everywhere. Their hearts are often confused, they do not understand God's actions, and they do not understand God's Word, becoming muddled. Today's scripture refers to learning. If you are not a person who loves to learn, that is a very serious problem. I hope you can become intelligent, and I also hope you can grow and mature and become clear-headed. In your understanding, you can grow and mature and distinguish good from evil. This is not called discerning good and evil. I hope you can exercise faith according to God's Word. On the foundation of God's truth, constantly grow and become enlightened. If so, it will be difficult for demons to deceive you.
We need to have a deeper understanding of Hebrews. Since ancient times, after the Bible was written, I don't think the commentaries on Hebrews are very well written. I think the commentary on Hebrews that I wrote is good. Perhaps in a year or two, when I look at the commentary on Hebrews again, I may not be very satisfied. At that time, we will continue to move to the next level.
The hermeneutical method of Chinese Mingding Destiny is to return to the Bible to ponder after seeing many strange phenomena in the church, understand intellectually, and know why these people are being deceived. Because they do not study and are not clear in their understanding. When we talk about the introduction to Hebrews, I encourage you, whether it is an electronic version or a paper version, to buy a Bible study guide to read. Buying an electronic version is more convenient. Next, everyone must become more intellectually clear and be able to distinguish good from evil.
The most foolish person in this world is the one who treats the person who helps him and loves him as the one who harms him, and treats the one who harms him as the one who loves him. I have experienced too many of these things. Sometimes I can't change these people who are not clear-headed, so I say, May God have mercy! What does this mean? It means that I really can't handle him, so I hand him over to God. As a result, God is really helpful. Recently, some people who are never clear-headed have finally left the church. I am happy when some people leave the church, because I am afraid to minister to them. If I minister to them sincerely, they hate me; if I don't minister to them sincerely, I feel sorry for them. It's really a dilemma. Some people are like this, the effect of not being clear-headed is really distressing. So I encourage everyone to study hard, it is not okay not to love studies.
In any case, do not be a person whose heart is often confused and does not understand God's actions. Today, if our brothers and sisters have touched the treasure, I encourage you to be a person who is clear-headed in your understanding. Only intellectual clarity can resist the devil's lies. Some people say, No, you have to use faith to resist the devil. In fact, after careful consideration, Jesus' example is not quite the same.
Intellectual Clarity Can Resist the Devil's Lies
Jesus' example is a very typical example. Matthew Chapter 4 says:
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: “‘He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’” Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’” Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you bow down and worship me.” Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’” Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him. (Matthew 4:1-11)
Why did the devil leave? Why did he leave after saying these few words? These few words are very interesting. When masters clash, we ordinary people may not be able to understand. After the devil Satan came, he said, If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread. Jesus was very clear-headed, man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God, and all these words are very powerful! The most effective way to resist the devil is, first, every word that comes from the mouth of God, second, do not test God, and third, serve God only. The devil's deceptions are all intellectual.
From Genesis, the devil deceived Adam and Eve with intellectual deception. He didn't say a bunch of things that no one could understand, but spoke in a way that Adam and Eve could understand, and Jesus could also understand. Resisting the devil is also intellectual. If a person is not clear-headed, doesn't know what to do, and doesn't know anything, then it's troublesome. I warn you, brothers and sisters who are not clear-headed, you must be careful.
There are many unclear people among us, and I get anxious when I see them doing those things. When I am anxious, I can't help but say a few words, and as a result, I offend people. They don't accept it, as if I want to prove something. I don't want to prove anything. I just want them to benefit. This thing is really difficult. If a person is not clear-headed, if you are good to him, he thinks you want to harm him. When someone wants to harm him, he thinks the person is good to him. What kind of brain is this? How can we make the brothers and sisters in our church become intelligent? That is, we must be clear-headed. How can we be clear-headed? That is, we must have a deeper understanding of the Bible.
My habit is very simple. I basically don't accept things that are not recorded in the Bible. For example, closing my eyes and praying, God, I want to buy a piece of land, I want to invest in stocks... After praying, I feel very peaceful in my heart, and snap, I invest, and it's over, either hundreds of thousands or millions are gone. That's just messing around. I can't find such a record in the Bible. People say I was very peaceful at the time, but the peace at that time was fake, and the lack of peace now is real. That's not faith. Our faith today must be on the foundation of God's Word. If it's not on the foundation of God's Word, it's useless.
There is a brother who is very interesting. He feels that he has to help God expand the church, he has to help God. How can he help God? He does a money-losing business, thinking that people will come and he will have the opportunity to preach the gospel. As a result, he lost ten million in a year. This is intellectual and not clear-headed.
Therefore, I hope that our brothers and sisters can afford to lose money in any business they do, you have to calculate. You have to calculate on your understanding, then you will know. Some people say, I have faith! Isn't this faith testing God? You must not test your God. This thing is obviously not very likely. Some people are muddled, make some money in their thirties, and lose it all in their forties; start making money in their forties, and by their fifties, they are back to the starting point. They are very cool, and when you come into contact with them, you feel like a big shot, but when you reach sixty, you are back to the starting point. In fact, it is better not to do it. If you do it, you will lose a lot of money. It is a very bad thing to be not clear-headed.
My own habit is to like to figure things out. I like to figure things out when I lead everyone to study the Bible. I like to figure things out when I preach to you today. I don't like to talk nonsense. For example, when decorating, if the drawings don't look good, can the decoration look good? It's not that it doesn't matter if the drawings don't look good, because I have faith. How can this be? If the plane can't fly when calculating on paper, how can the plane that is built fly? This is not faith.
There is a sister among us who invested in stocks. I didn't stop her at the time. She prayed desperately and then invested, and as a result, hundreds of thousands were gone. There is another sister who invested very successfully and made a lot of money. I think she should be very clear. I asked her to write down the key to investment and financial management, to see if she could explain the matter of investment and financial management clearly, but she couldn't write it down. Finally, she told me that she invested according to the information others gave her, and as a result, she made money. Many people don't know how they made money, and they don't know how they lost money. These people are basically not clear-headed and will be destroyed by the devil sooner or later. No wonder when they first came, they had a lot of demons, and I drove out quite a few.
So, when faced with a problem, one must understand its nature. For example, if you drop a glass from a window on the first floor onto the concrete ground below, you know it will shatter. If it does not break, it must be made of special or tempered glass. When problems arise, clarity is essential. Confusion or blind action will lead to failure. When facing problems, seek understanding. Spiritual discernment is key to resisting the devil's lies.
In the past, church history has been filled with metaphysics, such as entering a secret chamber to commune with God, concocting a great deal of nonsense. Instead of diligently studying the Bible, they engage in such practices. Some people like to seek out gurus, and I dread being treated as one. My fear is that even if I fix you, you will remain unchanged because your mind is full of garbage. Many prefer shortcuts; they do not want to understand thoroughly, nor do they believe it is possible. A certain king, when indecisive, would close his eyes, randomly open the Bible, and read whatever passage he landed on. Upon seeing the words, God gave David victory! he would assume God would grant him victory, only to be soundly defeated in battle.
Do not assume that being a Christian allows such practices. This approach demonstrates a lack of spiritual understanding. We, as brothers and sisters, must be cautious. I am not fond of people who do not study. I believe everyone should study diligently to understand what God truly says. Because spiritual discernment is key to resisting the devil's lies. Therefore, the system of faith we establish today, as I propose, may be unfamiliar to many elsewhere, because man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. Everything is a system. Do not test God as if it were faith; worship the Lord alone, serve God alone. This is a systematic faith. We must understand in our spirit why we say and do as we do.
How to Achieve Spiritual Discernment
The reason people cannot achieve spiritual discernment is they find it too troublesome. Some tell me, When I study, everything hurts except my hair. One day, someone texted me, When I study, everything hurts except my hair. I get a headache when I read. In essence, people are lazy and seek shortcuts. This is not rooted in faith. If you want spiritual discernment, it must begin with faith: I can figure this out. If not today, then tomorrow; if not tomorrow, then the day after. I will think about it every day until I understand.
But many are unwilling to pay the price, starting with faith. If you do not understand something today, try again tomorrow. If I think about it every day, I refuse to believe I cannot figure it out. But many are unwilling to pay the price. For example, this message I am sharing with you today took me a long time to prepare. Do not think it is easy for me to deliver. The preparation was not easy; it was difficult to figure out how to explain it clearly. It starts with faith and persists, and one day it will become clear.
Some always seek shortcuts, thinking shortcuts are good. When we begin to exercise our faith, we will experience God because our God allows us to receive mercy in our ignorance. We need not fear our weaknesses because we have God, who understands those in ignorance and error. When we are in ignorance and error, we pray with faith, and God will answer. But this cannot be an excuse to remain in ignorance and error. After we experience God, are we willing to come out of ignorance? Our start in faith is the result of experienced faith.
That is to say, This matter, we start with faith, is to experience the effect of faith. For example, did Peter walk on water? Yes, he did. If we were to walk on water today, that is practicing faith. If you go out often and walk on water, you will find that it is like walking by the river, and you are bound to get your shoes wet. Who knows when you might fall in. So, I think this kind of situation is to build up your faith, but you cannot stay at that level. You must grow and mature, and your senses must be trained to discern good from evil. It is not that you start with that faith and stay at that state forever. If you stay at that state, then there is trouble.
A sister locked her door with the key inside, and she could not get in. She was anxious because her belongings and phone were inside. She then laid her hand on the lock and prayed, and the door opened. She testified to me, and I thought it was great. Later, she developed a habit of forgetting her keys. I ask you, will the door open next time she forgets her keys? It will not. You do not learn your lesson. You must learn wisdom. If you do not learn wisdom, and you take God as a locksmith, you cannot treat God as a locksmith! Do not always do that. It is for urgent situations, but not intentionally. If you do it intentionally, God will discipline you. That is a bad habit.
A person had a mental illness and was in a mental hospital. Although she could not control herself, she was clear in her mind. This sister later contacted me privately and listened to sermons on the website. She prayed diligently and was healed. She told the people at the hospital that she was healed, and they released her. She always remembered that she was healed by prayer in the mental hospital. Later, she used the same method of prayer to invest millions in a website called Bitupi, but it disappeared and she could not get her money back. She said, My prayers were very effective then! Prayer is effective, but that was then! You cannot always stay at that level. Today, we start with faith and have experienced God, but we cannot stay at the starting point of faith. We must continue to improve in our understanding!
We must see what the Word of God says. I often encourage our brothers and sisters to practice faith, to start with faith that leads to faith, but Chinese Mingding Destiny is not to start with faith, to start with faith, and then die in this faith. One cannot stay in the state of Exodus forever. You cannot stay in the wilderness after the Exodus. You have to enter the promised land, and you cannot stay in the promised land forever.
We must strive to explore and climb, to learn one thing at a time, and to continuously know God so that our lives can live out the glory of God. This passage is well said: We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. People cannot understand it. They always feel that it is too difficult to understand!
Look, it would be great if the lock could be opened with a single prayer! I was released from the mental hospital with a single prayer? There is no such easy way! You still have to study no matter how you do it. As the author of Hebrews says: In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!
If a person grows to be ten years old and is still a nursing child, is that not intellectual developmental delay? Therefore, those who can only take milk are not skilled in the doctrine of righteousness; they are still infants. But adults are mature and can eat solid food in their hearts. Therefore, today, we brothers and sisters must know that the Christian faith must not remain at the most primitive level, but must strive to pursue. Hebrews says it well: Let us press on to maturity.
Today, you must persevere in learning. I know that you persevere in learning and exploring, and everything hurts except your hair. Then we will persist until nothing hurts. You can certainly persist until one day learning becomes your enjoyment! Why am I interested in doing things? I am very interested in serving as a pastor, teaching, programming, decorating, and carpentry. Why? Because every time I learn, I grasp the essence! Then, I do it quickly and well. After finishing, I enjoy it.
Recently, I have done some small renovations and finished them easily and well. Today, when I see through the essence of this matter, I can not only do it, but also explain it clearly. Once I understand it clearly, I can train people. Once I can train people, I can solve more problems, which enables people to grow.
I basically do not like to talk about some nonsense. Yesterday, they told me about a very absurd thing. A pastor was saying, Holy, holy, holy, holy! Then he counted the number of times holy was said. There were four times in the song. He said that the Bible only says it three times, so you are more powerful than the Bible! I feel that what can this solve? As for three or four times, because the person who wrote Holy, holy, holy wrote it three times, you do not know how many times he repeated it? Today, he said it three times; tomorrow, he said it three times again; the day after tomorrow, he said it three more times. Later, he said it nine times. What do you do? In fact, this does not matter, because this cannot lead to spiritual discernment. People who find fault with this are not in the habit of spiritual discernment. It is not the essence of things, nor is it a theological point.
Today, we brothers and sisters must constantly deepen in the Word of God and form a complete system. The deception of the devil will have no effect on us. Today, I have found that many people in the Christian community have become foolish in their faith. They have lost hundreds of thousands or millions in their faith, and they have become superstitious and engaged in strange things.
A brother told me that recently, someone he served saw with his own eyes that his elder went to drive out demons in the local church. Halfway through the exorcism, he said, No, you must carry me out quickly! Before he could be carried to the door, the elder died. The death of the exorcist brought great confusion to people. Did such a thing not become a tragedy? Why did this happen? Actually, the reason is very simple. Some time ago, I shared with you about the victorious church. A church that is not victorious cannot fight demons. If it fights, it will be beaten by demons. Therefore, we must constantly promote ourselves to God's Word.
The spiritual realm is very real. In recent years, we have been fighting the spirit of the old horse, which is the white horse, red horse, black horse and grey horse mentioned in Revelation. The recent plague came from the spirit of the grey horse. The spirit of the old horse has fought with me several times, and it has been defeated by me every time. There is also something that we have not dealt with well, that is, the spirit of the fox. The old horse is a system that caters to the flesh and belongs to the world, but this fox uses religious things to deceive people, so that people only have the outward appearance of religion but not the essence of faith. Exorcism requires faith; the outward appearance of religion cannot drive out demons.
I think that when we continue to become transparent in our understanding, our brothers and sisters will set off a wave of learning the Word of God, so that every brother and sister will become transparent in the Word of God. Next, we will have a great breakthrough in dealing with the spirit of the religious fox and releasing the spirit of lies; everyone can wait and see. There must be many testimonies to come out. Some of our brothers and sisters are deceived by the spirit of the fox and think it is faith. A brother went to take a driver's license exam. He said, This time I understand, I have grasped the essence! As a result, when he took the test, he stepped on the accelerator, and the car did not move. Why? The clutch did not release. He had no spiritual discernment and was deceived by the fox, but I believe that such things will soon be solved.
Among us brothers and sisters, some including leaders, are under the control of evil spirits. When everyone becomes transparent in understanding, your learning efficiency will be doubled, your work efficiency will be doubled, your learning effect will be doubled, and your work effect will also be doubled. Because we have all become smart, our spiritual senses are opened in understanding, and our spiritual senses are trained to be unblocked, so we can distinguish between good and evil, and we are clear in our hearts. We are climbing the spiritual peak of Jehovah, and we are constantly climbing in spiritual truth, and our spiritual strength is also constantly increasing.
We did not use much spiritual discernment when we expelled demons in the past, but now we use more and more spiritual discernment to explain the problem clearly. We could not explain clearly the spirits like the old horse. Some time ago, we also dealt with a lot of snake spirits and fox spirits. It seems that some things were clear, and some things were not clear, but today, we basically understand the rules behind the operation of these things, and we also understand how to use God's Word to deal with these things.
The spirit of religion is very terrible because it has the taste of religion and the appearance of godliness. It is difficult to deal with, but now we are increasingly understand how it works. Today, I would like to share a little more with you about how to practice it? It is to establish the system of God's Word and faith. If you think learning is hard, I can tell you that spiritual victory can bring a great turnaround!
Spiritual senses are trained to be sensitive. What does training mean? Training means repeating the practice constantly. When you encounter difficulties that you do not understand, it does not matter; I will work hard to figure it out. I will keep pondering and pondering until I understand. One day, I will suddenly understand. We are all doing this. Do not think that I can do it with a pat on the head. It is definitely not like that!
Being Priests in the Order of Melchizedek
What a glorious destiny it is to be a priest like Melchizedek, and it's not just a trivial thing. Melchizedek blessed Abraham, and then Abraham led 318 servants and defeated Chedorlaomer and four kings. Abraham's victory was related to Melchizedek. If we are priests in the order of Melchizedek, then it is amazing. What we say will come true. Are such people powerful? That is a glorious destiny!
What does it mean to be a priest? To be a priest is to bring people's problems to God and to bring God's power and glory to earth, to manifest God's power. Although being a priest will cause suffering, the suffering will become the source of eternal salvation.
Though he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek. (Hebrews 5:8-10)
Obey what? Obey the Word of God, obey the destiny that God has given Him! Today, if you and I, like Jesus Christ, still learn to obey even in suffering, we will be perfected. What does perfection mean? It means being a priest in the order of Melchizedek. If we are priests in the order of Melchizedek, we will become the source of salvation for many people! We must know that we cannot be separated from Jesus Christ. We are one with Jesus Christ, and everything on Jesus Christ belongs to us because these are God's will.
Today, the confusing things in the church will be solved by the priests who are faithful to God in the order of Melchizedek through spiritual understanding. There is no confusion that cannot be solved. We should explain everything clearly in our understanding and preach the Word of God clearly. Therefore, today, we brothers and sisters must know that it is only right and proper to offer ourselves as living sacrifices to God according to the order of Melchizedek, and that is such a worthwhile thing.
Today, our brothers and sisters are beginning to break through in understanding. If you encounter confusing things, do not let them go. We can always find the answer in God's Word. Today, I have good news. This good news is for all our brothers and sisters. I want to boldly make a prophecy that all our brothers and sisters will become very smart because in this generation, God is doing wonderful things among us. He wants to release all our brothers and sisters from the evil lies of the devil. He wants us to begin to believe by faith that our spiritual senses will be unblocked and that we will be able to distinguish good from evil. We can know that it is only right and proper to offer ourselves as living sacrifices to God because that is an incomparably good thing. May God bless everyone!
