Introduction
Brothers and sisters, good to see you all online again. Today I want to share with you a topic called Practicing the Heart to Discern Good and Evil. Practicing the heart to discern is an excellent phrase. You must know that many people today lack discernment.
In my ministry, I earnestly desire that our brothers and sisters become wise. Actually, everyone wants to become wise, isn't that so? This is a topic I have been researching for years, and today, I have finally made some breakthroughs! Later, I discovered that people becoming foolish is largely due to spiritual oppression. Evil spirits dwell within the thoughts and minds of people. If one's heart is not trained to be discerning, or if one remains ignorant, many problems cannot be solved.
Today, I share this topic to address the many perplexing issues and phenomena in our church today. Our primary goal is to solve problems. In the process of diligently solving problems, we find it particularly necessary to continually understand the truth of God. Each breakthrough in God's truth, each deeper understanding of God's word, effectively solves problems. Each solution relies on grasping the truth revealed in God's word. I have deeply experienced this!
Our power to cast out demons does not come from pursuing the power to cast out demons. Our power to cast out demons comes from continually ascending the holy mountain of Jehovah's truth. It is climbing the mountain of Jehovah, constantly ascending in the level of understanding His truth. Then, something remarkable happens: even the evil spirits know our height.
The practice of faith in real life, if not based on clear and thorough understanding, can lead to tragedy. Some time ago, I heard such a story, a tragic one. A pastor and his wife in a church were ministering to a sister who had a child with cerebral palsy. The couple wanted to practice their faith, so the pastor and his wife led them in prayer and constant encouragement. Eventually, the sister gave birth to a normal child.
As a result, the couple felt that having one normal child and one with cerebral palsy was not enough, so they continued to pray. The pastor's wife fasted and prayed for a month and then confidently told her, You can have another child, and this time it will definitely be a healthy child. But when the child was born, it had cerebral palsy. Then they continued to pray, saying, This time it definitely won't be; it will surely be a healthy child! Another child was born, and it also had cerebral palsy. When this person came among us, the children with cerebral palsy were still there. It was very difficult!
Why did such a tragedy occur? Because our hearts were not trained to be discerning. If our hearts were well-trained, such things should not happen. Is this kind of faith practice really faith practice? Feeling at peace, feeling this and that – these things bring much confusion to our Christians.
Several years ago, I met a sister who had several million dollars. One day, during prayer, she saw a very beautiful vision: a piece of land. She felt led to buy it. She searched everywhere for this land, and one day, she actually found a piece of land that looked exactly like what she saw in the vision. She invested millions in it, but the land was barren and rural. From an investment perspective, the land was not worth the price, and she was scammed. Why was she scammed? She believed that the land and the price she sought were all from the vision.
When I met her, she still felt bitter about it. Later, she realized she had been deceived. Is this a practice of faith? No, it is not! Similar stories include investing in a business to support a preacher, only to lose everything. These stories are tragic. Who wouldn't feel the pain of losing millions? If it were me, I would feel the pain too, no matter how enlightened I am about life, death, and money. Many people suffer, but their suffering and endurance are fruitless, and they never become mature in their faith practice.
This lack of understanding is quite common among us. One sister told her pastor, Oh, I love listening to sermons. The sermons in church are so good; I love listening! The pastor, using a trick he learned from me, asked her what was so good about them and how she could apply them to her life. The sister couldn't answer a single question; she just felt good listening.
Today, the lack of discernment in Christianity is quite prevalent. Why am I preaching this kind of sermon? Because I believe we must become discerning in our understanding. Today, we need to add a new element to Mingding Destiny: understanding. The examples I mentioned earlier share a common characteristic: they were all deceived by ghosts. Why am I not easily deceived by ghosts? I have certain traits: I am not easily gullible, and I don't easily trust my feelings; I trust the word of God. Therefore, today, we must all seek a systematic understanding of God's word and no longer fall for the devil's schemes. The passage we have chosen today is from Hebrews 5:11-14.
Scripture
About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained to distinguish good from evil. (Hebrews 5:11-14)
Prayer
Our God, do a wonderful work among us today. Encourage each of our brothers and sisters not to be confused people. Let each of us deeply know Your word, eagerly yearn to grow, and let us grow no longer as infants but grow to maturity. Today, let our brothers and sisters thirst for growth, thirst for growth in Your word, so that we can grow to maturity in Your word, practice our hearts to be discerning, able to distinguish good from evil. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
Introduction to Hebrews
The author of Hebrews wants to express a theme: to strive to enter into perfection. Today's Christians face a difficulty; the Christians I often meet are confused, and I don't see them as being very discerning, and their hearts haven't been opened. How sad it is if Christians have not entered into perfection! Having touched the treasure, but the treasure slips from their hands. We must know that we have grasped the treasure, but we do not hold on to it tightly. The author of Hebrews points out several major problems of Christians. He saw the Christians of that era, and perhaps he also saw the Christians of more than two thousand years later. Many people are hard-hearted, die in the wilderness, and cannot enter into God's rest; their hearts are often confused, and they do not learn, grow, or strive. Moreover, they neglect such a great salvation, are completely unclear in their understanding, and are in a completely confused state in their practice of faith.
Hebrews speaks very well and clearly explains the practice of faith. So, the first chapter of Hebrews speaks of the status of the son, which is extraordinary, but these Christians love angels. When we read the letters of the Apostle Paul, we rarely see stories about angels; they are mostly stories about people, and stories about God working in people. The second chapter speaks of people neglecting such a great salvation and not being willing to strive. I prefer the author of Hebrews because, deep down, I feel that being a Christian should mean being a remarkable Christian. I encourage everyone to study hard. I wrote a book called Striving to Enter into Perfection, which is a systematic summary from the first chapter to the last. It is a book I am very satisfied with.
When people truly practice their faith, they will have assurance. For example, we have all read Genesis. Although Joseph was sold into slavery in Egypt, God was clearly with Joseph. God not only blessed Joseph but also blessed Joseph's master, Potiphar. When Jacob came to his uncle's house with a staff, he was very poor, but God was clearly with Jacob, and the sheep he tended were the best. His uncle Laban said, I have clearly seen that God is with you and has blessed me through you. When you came, I did not have So many cattle and sheep; when you came, my cattle and sheep increased. We must know that Joseph and Jacob had assurance. It wasn't that others were unlucky; they practiced their faith very well. However, today's Christians are as described in Hebrews. What does Hebrews say about the Israelites?
Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness, where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years. Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart; they have not known my ways.’ As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter my rest.’ (Hebrews 3:7-11)
People's hearts are often confused, and many Christians today are often confused. They do not know the works of God, nor do they know what God's word says. Today's passage refers to learning. If you are not a learner, the problem is very serious. I earnestly desire that everyone become wise, be filled with the knowledge of God, and be able to discern good and evil. I also earnestly desire that you practice your faith according to God's word, practice on the foundation of God's truth, and have understanding. How can ghosts deceive you? I want everyone to have a deeper understanding of the book of Hebrews.
Since ancient times, with the existence of the Bible, the exegesis of Hebrews has not been very good, but I think I have explained it quite well. The Chinese Mingding Destiny's method of interpreting the Bible is to observe many strange phenomena in the church, go back to the Bible to examine them, and then have a clear understanding. Why are people deceived in this way? Because they do not learn and are not discerning. We must become more discerning and be able to distinguish good from evil.
The stupidest people in this world are those who treat those who help and love them as those who harm them, and treat those who harm them as those who love them. I have experienced this a lot. Sometimes I cannot change these people who lack discernment, so I say, may God have mercy. I cannot deal with them, so I hand them over to God. As a result, God really helps. Some people who lack discernment leave the church. I feel very happy because I am afraid of ministering to them. If I minister to them seriously, they will hate me; if I don't minister to them seriously, I feel sorry for them. It is really difficult.
Some people's lack of understanding brings about troubling effects. Today, I encourage everyone to read and study hard. In any case, do not be a person whose heart is often confused and does not know the works of God. Today, if we have touched the treasure, we must be discerning in our understanding. Only in understanding can we resist the lies of the devil. Some people think they resist the devil with faith. I pondered this carefully, and it is not quite the same as the example of Jesus Christ.
Understanding Can Resist the Lies of the Devil
Jesus' example is a very typical example. I will read a passage for everyone:
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” But he answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and ‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”
Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall 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 glory. And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.’” Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him. (Matthew 4:1-11)
This is about understanding. Jesus' understanding is very clear. How did the devil leave? Just a few words and it was over? I find this very interesting. The battles of experts are not necessarily understood by ordinary people. After the devil Satan came, he said, If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become bread. If you say, Just watch me turn them into bread. Are you not convinced? Let me show you. Then it would be troublesome.
Jesus was very clear-headed. People do not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. These words were very powerful. The first is to rely on every word that comes from the mouth of God; the second is not to test the Lord your God; the third is to serve God alone. The devil's deception is in understanding. From Genesis onward, the devil deceived Adam and Eve with deception in understanding. He would never say a bunch of words that no one could understand. The words the devil spoke, Adam and Eve could understand, and Jesus could understand, but resisting the devil is also in resisting with understanding.
If a person lacks understanding and does not know what to do, it will be troublesome. If brothers and sisters lack understanding, I want to warn you, you must be careful. There are many among us who lack understanding, which is quite troubling because I get anxious when I see them doing things. When I see these things, I can't help but say a few words, which offends them. They don't accept it, as if I'm trying to prove something. I just want them to benefit, but it's really difficult.
If a person's understanding is not clear, if you are good to them, they think you are harming them; if someone wants to harm them, they think it's great. I am always thinking, how can I make the brothers and sisters in our church smarter? We must be discerning in our understanding! How to become discerning? To have a deeper understanding of the Bible. My habit is simple: I basically do not accept anything that is not recorded in the Bible. For example, someone prays, God, I want to buy a piece of land, invest in stocks, and I feel at peace in my heart. Once invested, it's over, losing hundreds of thousands or millions, messing around blindly!
I can't find such a record in the Bible. People will say, I was at peace, I felt at peace at the time. Are you at peace now? No, the peace at the time was false, and the present lack of peace is real. That is not faith. Our faith must be on the foundation of God's word. Do you understand? Faith not on the foundation of God's word is useless.
One brother was very interesting. He said I have to help God expand the church and build the church, to help God. How to help? I engage in a loss-making business, and people will come, and I will have the opportunity to preach the gospel. As a result, he lost ten million in a year. This is a lack of understanding.
Brothers and sisters, calculate it. Whatever business you do, whether you can afford to lose or not, you have to calculate it. Whatever you do, you have to use your brain. Calculate it, and you will know. Some people will say, no, I have faith. In the end, isn't that faith testing God? You cannot test God; that thing is not right.
Some people are confused and dare to build recklessly. When they dare to build at the age of 30, they earn some money, but at the age of 40 they lose it all and return to the starting point; they start making money at 40 and return to the starting point at 50; they start making money at 50, they have seen money, and they feel like they are great, like a tycoon, but by the time they are 60, they have returned to the starting point.
In the end, it is better not to do it. Having lost so much money, today, a lack of understanding is a very bad thing. My habit is to like to understand things clearly. You will find that when I lead everyone to study the Bible, I like to understand things clearly. When I preach, I like to understand things clearly. I don't like to talk nonsense or mess around blindly. If the drawings for the renovation are not good, how can the renovation be good? If the drawings are not good, and you say I have faith, I can definitely do it, how is that possible? If you calculate on paper that the plane won't fly, can the plane you build fly?
I couldn't stop one sister from investing in stocks. She prayed desperately and felt very peaceful in her heart. Once invested, it was over, hundreds of thousands were gone. Later, another sister invested successfully and made a lot of money. I thought, This person must understand investing, so I asked her to write about the key to investment and financial management, to explain it clearly like Buffett. As a result, she couldn't write it out. In the end, she said to me that people in the circle gave her information, and she just did it, and then she made money.
Some people make money without knowing how they made it, and lose money without knowing how they lost it. These people basically lack understanding and will be destroyed by the devil sooner or later. No wonder these people were possessed by many demons when they came, and I cast out many of them. So today, when we encounter problems, we must understand the matter. If you drop a cup from the window of a building onto the concrete ground outside, you know it will break. If it doesn't break, then the glass is tempered and is a very special glass.
So, when faced with problems, one must understand! It is unacceptable to act blindly without clarity and understanding in your heart. Therefore, when encountering problems that are not understood, clarify them. Today, we must recognize a key point: Intellectual understanding is crucial for resisting the devil's lies. Throughout thousands of years of church history, there has been an abundance of metaphysical elements. These are individuals who retreat into seclusion to get close to God, neglecting to properly read the words of the 《Bible》as they are written.
Some people like to seek out masters. What I fear most is being sought after as a master. Even if I resolve your issue, it will likely return. This is because your mind is cluttered with a lot of rubbish. Many people prefer to take shortcuts and do not want to understand things thoroughly, nor do they believe they can. So, what do they do? Come, come, master, help me. If you come to me seeking to explore what God's word truly says, I am willing to discuss this with you.
A certain king, often unsure of how to make decisions, would close his eyes and randomly open the 《Bible》, placing his finger on a verse. Upon opening his eyes and reading the verse, if it spoke of God granting David victory, the king would declare, Ah! God has told me that He will grant me victory. But does God granting victory to David necessarily mean He will grant victory to you? As a result, when engaging in battle, he would often be defeated. Do not assume that just because you are a Christian, you can operate in this manner. Such actions are indicative of intellectual opacity. Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must all be cautious today.
I do not quite comprehend why people dislike learning. I hope everyone can study diligently to understand what God's word says. Intellectual understanding is what can resist the devil's lies. Therefore, the establishment of this system of faith that we discuss today is something I have proposed. Many people may not have heard of this before, but I propose establishing this entire system of faith because man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. Every word constitutes a system. Do not turn testing God into a form of faith.
The devil incited Jesus, Jump down. If He had jumped, He would have become a meat patty. Jesus replied, Worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only. This is a systematic faith. We must have a firm intellectual understanding of why we say what we say and why we do what we do.
How to Achieve Intellectual Understanding?
The reason people lack intellectual understanding is that they find studying too troublesome. Look at how tiring studying is. I once shared in a sermon that some people told me that when they study, everything hurts except their hair. After the sermon, someone messaged me, saying, The person you described is me. When I study, everything hurts except my hair. Why is that? In essence, it is because they find it troublesome. Ultimately, it comes down to some people always wanting to be lazy and take shortcuts, not having faith, If you want intellectual understanding, it must be an exercise in faith, believing that I can certainly understand. If I do not understand today, I will tomorrow. If I do not understand tomorrow, I will the day after. With this matter constantly on my mind, I refuse to believe that I cannot understand!
But many people are unwilling to pay this price. For example, this sermon I am giving today actually took me a long time to prepare. Do not think it is easy for me to preach it. The preparation was not easy. When preparing, I struggled, not knowing how to explain the words clearly. As a result, I persevered with faith, believing that one day I would understand. Isn't it clear to everyone now? Some people always want to take shortcuts, thinking how wonderful it is.
When we exercise our faith, we experience God. How do we exercise our faith? Our God allows us to experience Him in a state of ignorance, receiving His mercy. We do not fear our weaknesses, for we have God! God will understand those of us who are ignorant and lost. If you pray with faith, God will fulfill your prayers. But we can not keep use it as an excuse to remain in a state of ignorance, can you understand why?
After we have experienced God, are we willing to come out of this ignorance? This matter begins with trusting the effects of faith, for example: Peter walked on water, if we are walking on water, it is an exercise of faith, but if you often repeat the process, you will discover it is like “ he who stays by the river will soon get his feet wet,” who knows when will you fall?
So, this situation allows you to build faith, but should never be stopped at that level, You have to grow up and mature, develop your mind to be transparent enough to distinguish between good and bad. You cannot start with faith and stay in that state all the time, it will be troublesome.
For example, a pair of sisters went out without keys and locked the door, belongings and phone inside. The urgency led to prayers with their hands on the lock, and the door opened, they exclaimed, Too good to be true! The door actually opened. Later, they developed a habit of forgetting keys, next time they forget their keys, will the door still open? The answer is no, you have to learn to be wise, if you not learning to be wise, are you taking God as a locksmith? You cannot always do that, because in an emergency, you are not intentionally. god won't correct you for doing that intentionally because it's a bad habit.
There was a woman who became mentally ill and was admitted to a mental hospital because she couldn't control herself, but she knew what was going on. The sister also contacted me separately. She listened to sermons on the website every time, and then she desperately prayed, and the mental illness was cured. Then she told the people in the mental hospital that she was cured, and they let her go. She always remembered that she had been praying desperately in the mental hospital and that she was cured later. Later, She invested millions in P2P online in the same way, invested millions of dollars, and the website closed and the money was gone. She said that her prayers were very effective at the time. It worked because of the environment you were in at the time, but you cannot stay at that level all the time.
Although we start with faith and have experienced God in the past, But we cannot always be at the stage of starting with faith, but to start with faith and live it out . We must continuously become more intellectually understanding and see what God's word really says. I often encourage our brothers and sisters to practice faith, beginning with faith and leading to faith. But Chinese Mingding Destiny is not beginning with faith and ending in death on faith. You cannot always remain in the state of Exodus, you cannot always remain in the state of the wilderness. You have to enter the Promised Land, but after entering the Promised Land, you cannot always remain in the Promised Land. You must constantly strive to explore and climb, learn one thing at a time, and constantly know God, so that our lives can live out the glory of God.
We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand.(《Hebrews》 5:11)
People can't listen to it because they find it difficult to understand. For example, how good it would be if the lock opened as soon as I prayed! I prayed in the mental hospital and came out. It’s not that difficult!
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!(《Hebrews》5:12)
If a person is still a breastfed baby at the age of ten, that means he is mentally retarded.
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》5:13-14)
Today, our brothers and sisters must know that Christian faith must not remain at the most primitive level, but must strive to pursue it. Therefore, 《Hebrews》says it well, strive to enter into perfection. Today, we must insist on learning. I know that when you insist on learning and exploring, everything hurts except your hair. Then we will continue to insist until our whole body no longer hurts. As long as you keep insisting, you can really not hurt anymore. And I can also tell you that you can definitely persist until one day learning becomes your enjoyment. Why am I so interested in being a pastor? I'm also very interested in reading books, very interested in programming, and very interested in renovation. Why? Because every time I learn, I grasp the essence, and then things can be done quickly and well, and I enjoy it after I'm done.
Recently, I did a small renovation, and I enjoyed it very much when I did it. As a result, I finished it easily. So today, after I have grasped the essence, not only can I do it, but I can even explain things clearly. Once I can explain it clearly, I can train people. Once I start training people, I can solve more problems and make people grow. Basically, I don't talk about very nonsense things.
Yesterday, they turned on their mobile phones and played a very nonsense thing for me. They told a pastor who said that there was a song called Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, and then he said that the song mentioned holy four times, but the 《Bible》only mentioned it three times. Is this song more powerful than the 《Bible》? I think what problem can this solve? What does it matter if there are three or four? In fact, this matter is not important, and this matter cannot become transparent in understanding.
In fact, picking on the faults of this matter is not a transparent habit in itself. It is not the essence of things, nor is it a theological point. Today, we must continue to take root in the word of God and establish a complete system of faith, so that the devil's deception will have no effect on us.
In the Christian circle, many people become stupid because of faith, do things based on feeling, and then hundreds of thousands or millions are gone. As they believe, they turn into religion, and then they start doing some strange things. A brother told me that he recently served a person who saw his elder exorcising demons for others in the local church. Halfway through the exorcism, he said that he could not do it anymore and asked people to take him out quickly. As a result, the elder died when he was carried to the door. This incident brought a lot of confusion. Such things bring tragedy, but why did it become like this?
Some time ago, I shared with you the victorious church. The church is not victorious and cannot fight ghosts. When fighting ghosts, it is beaten by ghosts. We must constantly take root in the word of God. The things in the spiritual world are very real. A few years ago, we fought the spirit of Lao Ma, Lao Ma is the white horse, red horse, black horse and gray horse in 《Revelation》. Where did the recent plague come from? The plague came from the gray horse.
Therefore, we are fighting the spirit of Lao Ma. The spirit of Lao Ma has fought with me several times, and every time he was defeated by me. If he is defeated by me, he has to obey obediently. What things have not been dealt with now? There is something called Huang Pizi (yellow weasel), the spirit of Huang Pizi and snake. This thing is very powerful. Why? Because Lao Ma is a system that caters to the flesh and belongs to the world. The spirit of Huang Pizi will deceive people. It deceives people with religious things. It has a religious appearance but no substantial belief.
For example, exorcism uses faith, not a religious appearance. A religious appearance cannot exorcise demons. I was thinking, we must continue to become transparent in our understanding, especially today, our brothers and sisters have set off a wave of learning God's word, so that every brother and sister can be transparent in God's word and know what is going on. I think, next we will deal with Huang Pizi, the spirit of deceit and religion, and release these lies. There will be a great breakthrough. Then you just wait and see! What should you see? See how many testimonies will come out. Some of our brothers and sisters were deceived by Huang Pizi, and they thought it was faith.
For example, one of our brothers took a driver's test. Oh, this time I understand, this time I have grasped the essence, but what about the test? Trying hard to take oil is of no avail, why? Because the clutch is not released, if you keep the clutch depressed, there will be a slope, and the car will slide backwards, isn’t that scary? If you are not transparent in your understanding, can you pass the test? If you are not transparent in your understanding, you will be deceived by Huang Pizi in the end.
I believe this matter will be resolved soon. I believe that many of our leaders also have the control of this convenient evil spirit, but when we all become transparent in our understanding, your learning efficiency will be doubled, your work efficiency will be doubled, the effectiveness of your learning will be doubled, and the effectiveness of your work will also be doubled. Why you? Because we are all becoming smarter. Because our minds are open in understanding, our minds are trained to be transparent, and we can distinguish between good and bad. Which one is which, our hearts are very clear and understand. We are climbing the spiritual peak of the Lord Jehovah, and our spiritual power is also constantly increasing. So this matter is becoming more and more important. We didn't use much understanding when we exorcised demons in the past, but now we use more and more of it. We can see what this is and what is going on, and we can distinguish everything clearly.
Like the spirit of Lao Ma, we didn't say it clearly in the past. We also dealt with a lot of Huang Pizi things some time ago, the spirit of Huang Pizi snake. There are some things that we seem to be able to say clearly, and some things that we seem to be unable to say clearly. But today we can basically say that we can clearly distinguish what the operating rules behind it are. We also know very clearly how to deal with these with the Word of God. This religious spirit is very hateful, because it has a religious flavor and at the same time it has a cover of piety. It is difficult to deal with, but now we are constantly understanding,
Today, I would like to share with you a little more about how to practice. That is to establish God's word and God's belief system. You have to learn this thing. If you can't learn it, you will have a hard time. Spiritual victory needs to bring about a great transformation, and a clear mind that is constantly, continuously, and repeatedly trained—even when I don’t understand difficulties, I don’t give up, I just keep improving my thoughts constantly, or understanding, oh understanding, understanding, I don’t believe I can’t understand. But one day I finally understand. That’s how I keep working at it, did you think all it t took was a beat of me head for it to come out? You must understand that we cannot achieve that with mere effort. In this spiritual truth, what can you understand? Understand that those who come out are priests according to the order of Melchizedek.
Be a Priest According to the Order of Melchizedek
Being a priest according to the order of Melchizedek. What a glorious destiny it is to become a priest of God, especially a priest like Melchizedek. After Melchizedek blessed Abraham, what happened? Abraham took 318 servants and defeated Chedorlaomer and the four kings. Awesome! Abraham's victory was actually related to Melchizedek. Suppose we are priests according to Melchizedek’s order. That would be great. That will be extraordinary, that is, what we say will be fulfilled, what we say counts. If that like, imagine such a person, how could he not be powerful? That is a glorious destiny.
What does it mean for us to be priests? For us to be priests is to bring people's problems to God and bring God's power and glory to people. This is called being a priest. A priest does just one thing, which is to bring down God's power and glory. And let God's power be manifested. We bring people's problems to God, and that is being a priest. Although being a priest will suffer, this suffering will become the source of eternal salvation!
Although Jesus was the Son of God, He learned obedience through the suffering He endured. What He obeyed was the word of God, and what He obeyed was the destiny God gave Him. Today, if you and I also follow Jesus Christ, even if we suffer, it doesn’t matter, we must still learn to obey. He was made perfect and became a priest according to the order of Melchizedek. Whoever obeys Him will be a priest according to the order of Melchizedek, and that will become the source of salvation for many people. Therefore, brothers and sisters, we must not be separated from Jesus Christ today! We are united with Jesus Christ, so what we say is like saying these things about Jesus Christ and attributing them to us, because this is God's will.
Today, those confusing things in the church, of course, not necessarily our church, but also other confusing things in many other churches, will be unraveled by being priests according to the order of Melchizedek and being faithful priests before God. These confusing things, through understanding, all these difficulties will be readily solved. There is no confusion that cannot be resolved. I just explain it clearly with a clear mind. Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must know that being a priest according to the order of Melchizedek is really great to offer ourselves as a living sacrifice to God.

Summary
Today, brothers and sisters, we must begin to constantly break through in our understanding. If our brothers and sisters encounter a confusing thing today, never let it go. Even if we are doing scientific research or exploring, we can always find the answer in God's word. So I have good news. I boldly make a prophecy to all our brothers and sisters that all our brothers and sisters will become very smart, because in this generation, God is doing a wonderful thing among us. God is going to release our brothers and sisters from the devil's lies. Let us begin to have faith, and our minds will begin to be trained to be transparent and able to distinguish between good and bad and offer ourselves as living sacrifices to God. It is only right and proper, because it is an incomparably good thing. May God bless everyone!
