Introduction
Good day to all. Today, I will be sharing on the topic, The God Who Tests the Hearts of Men! Man's understanding of God is critically important in essence. The Bible says: To know the Most High is understanding. Over the past years, I have been studying on how to make people wiser. I have not been able to find the answer, and it seems like there are some issues with my methods. I thought that I had to teach everyone ancient philosophy, including the works of Guan Zhong and Guiguzi. However, after much learning, it did not make everyone as wise as Guiguzi. In the end, I understood that it is about learning to know God! In learning to know God, the most important point is to recognise that God is the God who tests the hearts of men!
Some of us cannot withstand tests! We collapse at the first attempt. I once shared that, You can only tell if it's a mule or a horse after you've taken it for a spin, and after a spin, it ends up with diarrhea. As a result, there was a brother whose daily bowel movements were a problem, and when he heard that You can only tell if it's a mule or a horse after you've taken it for a spin, he thought it was a good thing because he felt that he did not have to take laxatives. Later, he understood what it meant to have diarrhea after a spin. For example, he said: If you put a mule and a horse on a cart, they will have diarrhea. How can they pull the cart if they have diarrhea? Then they have to be unloaded and replaced with another batch of horses, or another batch of mules.
Today, I see too many Christians who have diarrhea after a spin. Therefore, if you have the opportunity, you can study me! I can say that I am a role model of knowing God. Why do I say this? God tests me once, twice, and three times, and I can definitely withstand it. I am very clear on how God tests me. There is no problem after a test. Over the years, I have experienced one test after another. I feel that there is one thing that is a bit of a pity, that is, God did not ask me to offer my son. God said to offer yourself, then I definitely have no problem, but I do not have the final say in offering my son!
I thank my God, and I thank God for being faithful to me in these past years, until today, I have seen his faithfulness with my own eyes. Why is God so faithful to me? Because I have overcome every test. Do not say that I am boasting, I have really overcome it! There was a person who boasted too much. As a result, he was knocked out in three punches as soon as he entered the ring. Those who patted his chest and rubbed his back did not help him recover. What were you doing earlier? Not durable, not able to withstand it!
Today, our topic is The God Who Tests the Hearts of Men! Why did I add this paragraph in front? Because I am qualified to speak about the God who tests the hearts of men! I cannot say: Four thousand years ago, Abraham was tested and it was all good, but when it comes to me being tested, I cannot do it. If I cannot do it, wouldn't it be troublesome for me to speak to everyone? Therefore, everyone must listen carefully today. Do you want to be blessed? I dream about it! Then you have to overcome this test! If you have diarrhea after a test, wouldn't that be troublesome?
Today, you must know that the God who tests the hearts of men is very powerful. If one test does not work, and another test does not work, then it will not work! If the test fails, can you be blessed? I have never seen in the Bible that you will be given rewards and blessings after failing a test. It does not happen. After the test is over, you overcome it! What happens then? God will bless you. At first, it is a small victory and a small blessing, then it is a medium victory and a medium blessing, and then a great victory and a great blessing! This is how victory and blessing are closely related. Testing and blessing are closely related.
Think carefully about those struggles of the past where you did not overcome! Think carefully about how much blessing you have owed yourself! Today, when you look around and observe the Christians you know, what conclusions can you draw? There are few who are blessed! Why are there so few who are blessed? Because they cannot overcome! What a pity! I am wondering how I can help them overcome when God tests them? You must know how important it is to overcome in the face of trials! You say: God loves me! Yes, God loves you unconditionally, but God's blessing on you is conditional. Do not talk nonsense!
Last Sunday, I said, My heart longs for the temple of my God, today let us say something from the bottom of our hearts! Why am I willing to take out all my savings to build a temple for God? That is all real money! But why did God spend so much real money to have David's son Solomon build a temple for him, and then tear it down later? In the end, there is only a wailing wall left! Here, everyone must know what God is doing! The problem is that this wall, this temple, this city, whether it is built or torn down, is all because of the hearts of men!
The human heart is as deep as the sea! You will not know until you try! How do you know which one is real if you do not test it? Therefore, the human heart is as deep as the sea, and God is constantly testing it. If you do not test it, even if you are married for decades! Oaths of eternal love are nothing without testing, just empty words. Some time ago, a brother told me: Oh! The best thing I have done in my life is to marry the right wife. I said: Really? Sometimes I say something to throw cold water on it: Really? Forget it, we will talk about it later!
There is a comment online: Old men and old women live together, and when the old man gets sick, the old woman runs away! They have not been able to stand the test at all! Therefore, the best thing I have done is to love my God. After constant testing, God examines my heart. You know that many things in life must be tested to know if they are real gold! Is this not the crucible for refining silver and the furnace for gold? The Lord tests the heart of man!
Only after testing can you know how easy it is to talk about the human world! People's hearts are separated by their stomachs! Therefore, you are mixing with hearts separated by stomachs in this world! It is really not easy! Of course, our God is the same! If He wants to choose someone to bless, He must test this person. God tests! Tests! After testing, He feels that this person is really good material! I will bless you with great blessings!
Our God is a very wealthy God, He has plenty of money! He has plenty of good things! He will test whoever He wants to give to! It is like a wealthy person who wants to distribute his property, so he pretends to be sick, and as a result, the family members stare at each other, and many people can't wait for the old man to die sooner! People's hearts are separated by their stomachs, and the words they say are all nice, how do you know if you do not test them? So you want to test them.
If I were a rich old man, and one day I suddenly pretended to have a crooked mouth and dementia, but I am not confused in my heart, I want to see how these people react. When I see too much empty talk, having money is a risk. Today's generation has a characteristic, people who are in high positions of power, how do the people below know who to give the position to if you do not test them? People who have power, money and influence, how do you know which person is genuine and which is fake? They all say good things with their mouths. Therefore, people often have to learn to test people, this is learning from God. If you are not faithful in small things, how can you be faithful in big things? If you are stingy in small things, how can you be generous in big things?
In the past years that I have served, some people have said flowery things to me: I just love listening to you preach!, when I have the opportunity, I will touch your core interests. There are some people whose faces have already turned black before I even touched their core interests. If I really touched their core interests, would they show me their teeth? Later, I developed a habit of loving my God alone. Because after one test after another, I am filled with disappointment.
I never plan for myself when I am old in the future, because there is no need to plan. Who can I rely on? If I lean on the wall, the wall will fall, and if I lean on the tree, the tree will lean, so I am determined to be someone who pleases God. God has tested me so many times in the past so many years, and I never complain to God in every test. You will never hear complaints from my mouth. Because I know very well that my God is the God who tests people, so I overcome the tests again and again. You ask me why I am so blessed? Because I am someone who overcomes tests.
Today, God has grace on us, and nothing can be explained. Can it show that we can withstand the test? Today I have grace for you, and nothing can be explained. It just means that when I test you, I want to see if you are a horse that poops, or a mule that has diarrhea. If one day I ask something of you, I want to see what will happen? If God has a request for us one day, what will people do? The human heart is as deep as the sea, so I often test people.
I often test people as I learn from God, and after testing, I keep it deeply in my mind. People have to know the hearts of people, have to know what the core interests of people are. Later I developed a habit of not expecting anything. I just give what I can give, and never ask for too much in return, and I do not ask for too little in return. So I am filled with joy and filled with hope.
Why do I turn to God when I encounter these things? Because I know that when I encounter these things, who knows if this is God testing me? Test whether I have my own ideas, God tested me. I often say: God, test me, examine me, so that I can be pleasing in your sight. God not only tests me in these past years, He also allows me to test Him.
God's judgments on me are all tested, and my knowledge of God is also tested, and when I test Him, God is really faithful. For example, tithing, God says: You test me! I will try it, and I have never withheld tithing since I first became a Christian. So God has greatly blessed me in my finances, miracles, and all sorts of things follow me. Do you think I will lack in my life? Some people like my money, but you have it all wrong, you should like me. Because I am money, because I am blessed. Today, those of us who want to be blessed must learn to overcome tests.
Our church is a church that tests people, and sometimes I will test you to see how you are. Once I test you, you are gone, and I will not take the initiative to call you back. I just like Genesis, and I have been preaching it so many times and I still cannot preach enough, because I always see people who are not blessed. For example, recently we are promoting the building of the temple, and you can tell that many people are blessed, because God is examining the hearts of people in these matters.
Scripture
Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you. (Genesis 22:1-2)
This passage talks about God testing Abraham. God even tested Abraham. Are you and I any exception? I encourage you to become someone who overcomes tests in any situation, this is the foundation of being blessed.
I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.’” (Genesis 22:17-18)
Prayer
God, today, let each of our brothers and sisters say to you, God, come and test me, examine me, refine me, refine me like refining fine gold, so that I can become a valuable vessel in your presence, able to manifest your glory. Lord, this is my cry, may you give me strength to help me, so that I can overcome trials in every matter, become a blessed person, and also be able to pass on your blessings, to fulfil your destiny in me in this generation, so that I can become a noble vessel in your presence. In Jesus Christ's name I pray, Amen!
The truth revealed by this passage is that God tests people
This passage was not written by Abraham, but by Moses. What happened to Moses? After Moses was born, Pharaoh wanted to kill him, but his mother kept him for a while and could not hide him anymore. The emperor's order came down, who dared to take in the child? Thank the Lord, our Moses was very obedient from a young age. He did not cry or make noise from a young age, very much like me when I was young.
This child was raised for three months, and it was impossible to hide him, so his parents put him in a basket and let him float down the river, and he floated to Pharaoh's daughter. Pharaoh's daughter picked him up and saw that the child was beautiful, so she took him into the palace. When he grew up, he was handsome, and exceptionally intelligent, and became an Egyptian prince.
But he did not want to live the life of a prince, but to save the Israelites, who were suffering under the Egyptians at that time. He killed an Egyptian and ran away, and went to his father-in-law's place to become an adopted son-in-law, and the days of being an adopted son-in-law were not easy, because he was under someone else's roof. So Moses lived a hard life for 40 years, and went through inhuman suffering, and finally Moses spoke with a stutter.
Some people say why doesn't God heal Moses? It is not easy for a person to be in a trial, do not joke and do not brag. Some people say that if it were me, I would do this and that, but when it really comes to you, you are not as good as him, you may not just stutter, you may be mute.
When Moses wrote Genesis, he clearly said that God tests people. Moses was also tested. All the people in the Bible who were used by God had been tested. We often have the mark of God testing us on our bodies. The truth revealed in this passage that Moses wants to tell us is: God tests people.
God wanted Abraham to offer his most beloved son. If I were Abraham, I would bargain with God: God, do not take my son, can I give myself instead of my son? No! God wants your son, so do not bargain with God, as if you are reluctant.
This is just a test, and you will know when the test is over. Abraham brought Isaac back alive, and God himself prepared a lamb. Speaking of this, I feel very emotional. Every time I talk about Jesus Christ, the only begotten son of God, the lamb that God himself prepared, Abraham prepared Isaac, and God did not want him. The lamb that God prepared for us is His only begotten son, who bore our sorrows and carried our pains, and by His wounds we are healed. I hold on to this sentence tightly, and God manifests His great power in me.
The truth that Moses wants to reveal is not that God wants us to offer, but that God wants to offer to us. This is God's will, but many people are not worthy to receive it. God uses tithes and building fund offerings to test, but some people treat money as their life, and treat money as security. This is why there are not many blessed Christians in this generation, and there are too few Christians like Jesus.
It is understandable, because only one Abraham was found among the masses in Genesis, and Abraham had only one son, Isaac, and Isaac had Esau and Jacob, and in the end there was only one Jacob left.
God, isn't this a treasure? Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Samuel, David, these people are people who are not worthy of heaven and earth, these people who are not worthy of this world must have been tested and tried by God, and that test is not a joke, it is a matter of life and death!
I thank my God, many years ago, I once heard God say to me, you say you really heard it? I really heard it, not joking. God said: Are you willing to die for me? Many people would be so scared that their backs would sweat if they heard this! Thinking that they were Fugui, like the play To Live, living is simply a luxury, Ge You played so well, the way he lived was very cute.
Many people would be stunned when they heard this, but I was excited when I heard this, I said: God, since you have chosen me, my life is yours, many years ago I almost died, you saved me, many years ago I knew that my life was given by you, today since you have tested me, what a grace it is, where can I find it in heaven and earth, God has chosen me. I am just a dog, a piece of dog poop, a piece of mud in God's presence, and God has chosen me, this is a treasure.
I cried at that time, I said: God, you have chosen me, I have no problem. As long as you let me go today, I do not want to wait until tomorrow, if you let me die for you today, I will definitely not hesitate. I did not say God, would it be good after a while? So living is really a luxury until today, because God tests people, God is the God who tests people, you think God blesses everyone, there is no such thing, this is the truth that the Bible wants to reveal.
The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time and said, “I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.” (Genesis 22:15-18)
These words still echo in the heavens and on earth, resonating in the universe. 4,000 years ago, Abraham offered his only son Isaac to God, but it was just a test, yet Abraham overcame this test, which is the key. I got a little excited just now. Has God ever tested you? Certainly! Today you can reflect on it and know how to make the right choices when God tests you from now on.
From now on, when God tests you, you must make the right choices. I used to be demoted several times. I was doing quite well at the time, so how could I be demoted? But every time I was demoted, when I came to my senses, God would lift me up. The last time He lifted me up was to become a preacher. That's really good! Preachers are amazing! Today I will tell you the truth about God testing people.
## Struggles Faced in Trials
Facing struggles in trials is no joke. Abraham said to Isaac, Come, follow me, I will offer you up. Do you think he said it so easily? This was Isaac, whom Abraham had at the age of one hundred. Nowadays, people have a child at forty, and they love them to death, let alone a child they had at a hundred, that's their heart's treasure.
For example, if I had a dog at home, it would be difficult for me to offer it up. But Abraham directly rode on a donkey and started walking, a three-day journey. In fact, he could have turned back at any time. The first day, he walked a whole day. Was it uncomfortable? Definitely uncomfortable, because he didn't know what would happen. God, didn't you say that my descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore? What are you doing by asking me to offer up my child? Can't I offer myself? Abraham experienced three days of pain and difficulty.
Do you think people know the ending when they experience trials? No. For example, before an exam, people don't know the result, they are worried, and they feel relaxed after leaving the examination room. Who knows what the final result of God's testing of people will be? No one knows.
We guess Abraham would think: I'm going to burn my child, and people will turn to ashes. Where can I find a child? How can I explain to my old wife when I go back? As for what Abraham thought, the Bible doesn't say. Because there's no way to say it, how can this kind of entanglement be described? Only Abraham himself knew. **When God tests us, He specifically looks for the most painful points to test.** For example, asking Abraham to offer a hundred shekels, what is that thing? He can have as much as he wants.
But God just wanted to move his son Isaac. Abraham thought as he walked: **Everything comes from God, isn't it natural for everything to be taken back?** For example, why do I tithe? Isn't my money and my life given by God? People can't understand these hardcore Christians, hardcore fans of God. David's logic system is that everything he has, including the throne, comes from God. Isn't it natural for me to offer sacrifices to God that come from God?
We are not short of money, nor are we short of Isaac. Since those born from Isaac are to become a blessing to all nations and peoples on earth, God will definitely be able to handle this matter. **When faith rises, it is not uncomfortable. When faith falls, it is uncomfortable. When faith is dying, it is uncomfortable. When faith rises, it is not uncomfortable.** If people want to live well, they cannot do without faith. People only have so little things in front of them. When something happens, their faith falls, and they collapse emotionally.
What is the logic system inside people that determines your choices? If you learn from me to be a grateful person, your life and my life are given by God, or everything you have is given by God. What does it matter if you take it all out and give it to God today? What's more, we are very clear about one thing: God wants to test us on these things. What will He do after the test? Blessings, I will give you great blessings.
I have a great ambition in me. I am not satisfied with running a small church and just getting by. The system in me is that if we do it, we must do a big one, and if we are blessed, we must be greatly blessed. If we have this concept, can we still get it? Just be a blessed person. It's no joke when you're struggling. When you think about how to live this life, how to pay the mortgage, we've all been through this, and we must overcome it. The days of struggle are all like this. Because we don't know what tomorrow will bring, we need to trust God. After trusting, the results are all good.
Facing many struggles in trials! When Abraham arrived at Mount Moriah, he told his servants: You wait here, and I will go forward with the boy. As a result, they walked another distance, and Isaac carried a bundle of firewood on his back. Isaac said: Dad, we have the firewood, but where is the lamb? When he asked this, Abraham's tears almost fell. Silly child, the lamb is you.
As a result, Abraham said: God will surely provide on the mountain. This is a double entendre! You are what God prepared. If you go back alive, God will give us His own lamb. Today God has given us His lamb. Every time I get to the Passion Festival and the resurrection festival, I am grateful in my heart. If it weren't for Jesus dying for us, how could I have the days I have today! That would be being used as a slave by the devil every day until I died!
## Struggle is the Only Way to Victory
How can there be victory without struggle? Today, our Chinese Mingding Destiny Theology is a theology of struggle. You say, if I dedicate all my possessions, will I struggle? Struggle. How can I not struggle? I never dedicate things I don't struggle with to God. You say, what will you do if you dedicate all of this to God? To be honest, it’s not called victory if you don’t struggle. If Abraham said, take it, just take it! That's not called victory, so the great men in the Bible are so powerful because they **make the right choices in the midst of struggle.**
We must be very clear about one thing, we must offer precious things to God, never give God tips. Know that in the midst of struggle, **we offer what we consider precious to God.** If Abraham made a wrong choice and took his son back, even if there was only one mile left, saying son, let’s not go up, let’s go home, let’s just live like this, do you think God would say this: Abraham, since you have done this, I will surely bless you greatly? There is no such thing!
God will find another Abraham, and find another one, and find Jesus Christ who will come out from there. Today, faith plays a vital role in the struggle, and God's promises will surely come true. What will you believe in the struggle? I tell you, in the struggle, I will choose to believe in God's promises. It is the promises of God in the Bible that have supported me to come over, and now I know that I am more precious than money, I am money! If I have me, can there be no money? Because I have dedicated my most precious things to God, whatever God wants, I will definitely give. **Because God is my core interest.**
I regard God as the most precious thing in my life, what children, family, everything, I dedicate it all to God. Dedicating it to God is definitely not a wrong choice, because God wants to bless us, God wants to let me get a hundredfold in this life and eternal life in the next life. This is what we Chinese Mingding Destiny Theology preaches. Our Chinese Mingding Destiny Theology theological system is not a theological system of obtaining grace. Our Chinese Mingding Destiny Theology is one of victory in struggle. When God touches our core interests, what should we do to make the right choices?
Recently, we are building a church and developing some software. While I am thinking about my sermon drafts, I am developing software with my colleagues. It is really a hard work. I said: God, may you be gracious to me and remember me, that is, to give myself completely. I find that many times, God gives me great grace. If I don't participate, they will stumble, it's really not easy! I have to participate very deeply.
In fact, God gives me a great grace. In the past so many years, God has been constantly shaping me in the world's environment, giving me a lot of grace and giving me various abilities. I also know very well that I can build. I am actually a very good engineer. If I don't pay the price, how can I be worthy of my God? Sometimes, when I am so tired, I will say: God, when will you take me back and free me from the hard work in this world?
Sometimes, I miss God, sometimes I sing hymns, missing God, very emotional! I really want to see my God sooner. What is our logic system? To live like God in the world, a glorious image, then I am constantly giving out. We live in the world to constantly give out. Giving out is not insignificant, it is really paying the price! Because of this, God chose me to build His glorious church. What a grace this is. In the midst of struggle is the only way to victory.
## Being Blessed by Overcoming Trials
This is what Moses told us when he wrote Genesis. In the past days, the final trial was this trial in chapter 22. In the previous trials, when he arrived in Canaan, ordinary people would foolishly say: What is this promised land flowing with milk? If you go to Israel, you can’t usually see it, flowing with milk and honey, but Abraham believed it. Don’t you think it’s strange? As a result, when he encountered a famine, he ran to Egypt, tossing and turning back and forth. When people live, they are constantly tossing and turning.
Only by overcoming trials can you be blessed. Overcome a trial and be blessed once. Overcome a trial and be blessed once. This is Abraham's life. The trial in Genesis chapter 22 reached a climax, which was to offer his most precious Isaac to God. This is Abraham's heart and soul! In the end, Abraham overcame it.
After Abraham overcame it, he was very grateful. It turned out that God had prepared it for him long ago. God just wanted to test his heart to see if he was willing to offer his most precious things to God willingly. I think there is no trial that Abraham cannot overcome in the future. Can brothers and sisters overcome all trials today and obtain all the promises and blessings? Why can't you be blessed today? It's because you can't overcome it! Why can't you overcome it? Because God is not his core interest!
Why do people cause so many sins? It's because they deserve it! Today I tell you, how great your destiny is, how great your blessing will be. **What is destiny? What is our core interest?** If our core interest is to give everything for God, would you still talk nonsense? How many of our brothers and sisters talk nonsense as soon as they open their mouths, and lose all the blessings as they talk.
Some people say, what should I do with my work? Even if I lose my job, wouldn't it be great to become a priest of God? Living is a very simple thing. Even if I have three children, four children, five children, even if I have a company of children, so what? Isn't it God who raises them? People are foolish here. Can you wake up today? No longer give the devil's lies room, and not be deceived by the devil's lies when God tests you, obey God's word, and overcome all the devil's trials.
Among us, many people's lives are given by God. Many people have returned from the edge of being destroyed by the devil through the service of me and my colleagues. It is these people who still have a lot of garbage in their hearts. Can they remove it? What do people value? What do they need in their lives? You can live your little life, but can you get it? Can not. The most important thing in a person's life is blessing and curse. If people don't know about blessing and curse, they can't grasp life. Brothers and sisters, no matter what, when God tests you, you must choose to overcome in order to be blessed.
## Knowing God is the Key to Victory
We must know that God is the God who tests people's hearts, and God tests us to bless us. If you understand these things, victory is simple! Knowing the Most High is wisdom. Does God need our money? Does He need the gold that David offered? God doesn't need it very much, so David and Abraham offered sacrifices to God without reservation. We are just a shadow in the world, and it will be gone in seventy or eighty years in the blink of an eye.
God is the God who blesses us, but unfortunately many people cannot get it. Why can't so many people get it? Because they can't overcome the trials. Although we are very hard, but after overcoming the trials, big and small, your faith will continue to improve. **God is everything to us, although He tests us repeatedly, we choose to trust Him.**
If we trust God every time, will there be obstacles when we offer sacrifices? Brothers and sisters, if you live long enough, you will see with your own eyes what God has done in my hands. I dream that the kingdom of God will be manifested among us. I know how important it is to know God. In the past so many years, I have investigated a lot and sought a lot. Every time I test God, God also allows us to test Him. God said that those who seek will find, and the door will be opened to those who knock. If you seek God, you can try God! It is repeatedly said in Malachi that you can try God. I test it again and again, and I don't feel that this is offending God. Instead, I feel that this is an opportunity for God to let us know Him.
All our problems have been carefully and seriously investigated. Don't think we are fooling people. As long as we have a seeking mentality, God allows people to try Him. Why could Abraham finally offer Isaac? That's because he experienced twenty years, from a very small lesson of faith to a bigger lesson of faith.
We are faithful in small things, and God will entrust us with greater things. Your name and my name must be called great in the spiritual world. Every victory we have shakes the kingdom of the devil. Angels clap and cheer for us, and the devil hangs his head in despair. When the devil sees us, he says that we are a devil's nightmare. Nothing can shake God's throne in our hearts; nothing can shake God's good will in us; nothing can stop us from seeking God and becoming a wise person in God's eyes.
God is the God who gives blessings, God is a good God, and God will never deliberately ruin us. Someone said: Look at why Abraham didn't notify Isaac? Isaac has the right to know! This person discerns good and evil, and discerns it to Abraham more than four thousand years ago. Does he think he is smarter than Abraham? His body is full of pain and curse. When he heard me say this, he never came here again. This person had diarrhea as soon as he tried it.
What kind of person are you? Today, let us spread our spiritual wings and soar with our God in the spiritual world. Our faith has been tested, just like the faith of an eagle.
## Overcoming Our Core Interests
If our core interests in the world are money, children, family, work and business, you will not be able to win. You only have one way, and that is to turn the core interests into God. If the kingdom of God is your core interest, no matter how the devil touches it, he cannot touch your core interests. If your core interest is your child, you will collapse if something happens to your child.
Today I will give you an idea, if your core interest is God, not your child, the child cannot make you collapse, you can turn around and kill the ghost that controls your child. If the core interest is not God, the ghost will definitely touch your core interest, and God will definitely touch your core interest. Today, ask yourself, what is your core interest? Is it your children? Parents? Job? We must make a choice on the core interests. Why do we talk about Chinese Mingding Destiny Theology here? Because God is our destiny, God is everything to us.
After repeated investigations and confirmations, if we overcome in all kinds of things and offer our most core interests to God, it is impossible not to overcome. All the powers of hell and the devil are trampled under your feet. What a glory this is! The angels in heaven cheer for you, our God claps for you, and our lives are all for glorifying God's name! God will be glorified because of us. God will point to us and say:
> I will surely bless you greatly, and I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of his enemies, and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.” (Genesis 22:17-18)
May such words be fulfilled in you and me. We must build a church full of God's glory in this generation, which can shake the power of the devil. May God's glory fill the whole earth!
May God bless everyone!
