Introduction

Good morning! We have covered two sessions in the series on good habits of spiritual individuals. The first was Good Habits of Bearing Fruit. Bearing fruit is one of the most important signs of a spiritual person. Do not claim to be spiritual if you do not bear any fruit. I encourage everyone to revisit that sermon when you have the opportunity. If you are not a fruit-bearing person, you will not succeed in anything you do, and you will not do anything well. You must adjust yourself. Do not assume that being a Christian means you are saved and blessed. Bearing fruit is a crucial spiritual sign.

The second session was Be a Wise Person. Being wise is also a good habit of a spiritual person. If a Christian ends up praying about everything, such as, God, what should I eat today? God, what should I wear today? without knowing their responsibilities or what to prepare, and behaves with intense religious fervor in everything they do, they are not wise.

If brothers and sisters read the Bible carefully, they will find that Jesus made it very clear. Five of the ten virgins prepared their oil, while the other five foolish virgins did not. Why did God not recognize those who had not prepared their oil? Because preparation is our responsibility.

Do not be foolish and think that you are saved and blessed, only to be unrecognized by Jesus at the end. What will you do then? Perhaps you feel that my words may trouble you, but this trouble is inherent within you, and not greatly related to what I am saying. Because you are already full of trouble, and you do not know that being a person, or being a Christian, requires taking on your responsibilities and making your own preparations.

So, I will continue to share the third good habit with you, called The Habit of Victory. The habit of victory is very, very important. Habits are very important. A person's destiny is closely related to their habits. If a person lives to be 50, 60, or 70 years old, the result of their life is shaped by the habits they have formed. A person's destiny is closely related to their habits, and the spiritual oppression a person experiences is closely related to their habits. You must know that if you develop a habit of victory, your life cannot but manifest God's promises! You will definitely see God's promises fulfilled in your life, because Chinese Mingding Destiny teaches that only through victory can we claim God's promises.

I have enjoyed solving problems and taking on challenges since I was young. Every time a problem is solved, my eyes light up, and I am full of energy! I have a famous saying: If my today is the same as my tomorrow, and my tomorrow is the same as the day after tomorrow, then even though I live a lifetime, I have only lived one day! What is the point of living just to eat, sleep, and repeat? I really enjoy challenges, and I developed a habit of liking to solve problems, so I go around looking for problems to solve. Once there are no problems or challenges, I feel uncomfortable and unaccustomed to days without solving problems.

Recently, I have barely managed to emerge from the grief of losing my mother over the past half-month. I love my mother very much. I served her day and night for almost a month, which was quite tiring. My mother got better after prayer, but then relapsed, and after another prayer, she got better again but then relapsed again. Each relapse was an immense struggle for me, and my faith almost hit rock bottom. Later, I received a reminder from someone, my brother-in-law, who told me: Actually, you don't know it, but she was telling me the truth. I asked: What did she tell you? He said: Mom said, where are there gods? Where are there ghosts? There are no gods or ghosts at all! When I heard this, my mind went blank. After experiencing so much, how could she say there are no gods or ghosts?

I recalled that during the process of serving her, her entire appearance changed, becoming terrifying, and she said strange things. During this process, I knew it was a demon. What kind of demon was it? It turned out this demon was unbelief. The evil spirit of unbelief is Satan. Initially, when we started serving her, Satan released the idea of fearing death in her, which made my mother very afraid, and we needed to hold her.

During our service, we discovered that Old Ma's evil spirits were afraid of pain, but Satan was not; yellow weasel evil spirits were afraid of being pricked, and it was very difficult for the yellow weasel to be pricked with needles, but Satan was not afraid either. I wondered what this thing was, neither afraid of pain nor of being pricked? Later, I realized this was Satan, which is very powerful. I thought, God, where is the solution? I believe God will reveal His solution to me. I have a habit of victory inside, and I will not give up until I solve this problem, even if my faith often hits rock bottom and I am on the verge of death. Suddenly, God's words floated into my heart:

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. (Revelation 12:11)

At this time, I began to comfort my mother not to be afraid, not to fear death, and my mother began to be no longer afraid of death. I wondered, how should the word of testimony be understood? Haven't we testified enough? We have many testimonies every week, and my mother personally witnessed the great power of our God. What is the blood of the Lamb? I said: The blood of Jesus is here, the blood of Jesus is here... But the demon did not move at all, with absolutely no effect!

Later, I thought that the blood of the Lamb is the cup we drink. I said to prepare communion for my mother! Pour the cup and prepare the communion bread. I said: In the name of Jesus Christ, I bless this bread and cup to be the body and blood of Jesus Christ... Then I led my mother to receive communion. I discovered that demons are very afraid of the blood of the Lamb, because the blood of the Lamb has brought Satan to utter shame. For those days, I kept taking my mother to receive communion every other day, bearing witness to the blood of the Lamb and the word we testified, and did not love our lives to the death. After I led my mother to take communion, a miracle happened, because she woke up and smiled at me. I still remember my mother's expression.

My mother and I often have a habit, that is, during video calls, I would give her a gesture of victory, and my mother would also give me a gesture of victory. Then we would say to each other: Yeah, victory! This is how my mother and I greet each other. Every time, my mother would give me a gesture: Yeah, victory! Then my mother smiled at me and told me that we had won. From that moment on, she was very calm, and I was also very happy for those days. She was very weak, but very calm. On the last day, my mother quietly fell asleep, exhaling, and then took her last breath in front of my camera.

Today is Communion Sunday. What you receive is the blood of the Lamb and the body of Jesus Christ. May the body of Jesus Christ preserve us until eternal life, and may the blood of Jesus Christ preserve us until eternal life! I hoped that my mother could walk with me a little longer. I really hoped that she would build a glorious church with me. What makes me happy is that my mother finally overcame by the blood of the Lamb, completing the final battle in her unique way. She gave me a wonderful gift, which is to make me realize that the communion we receive is not just a symbolic meaning, but is truly the precious blood of the Lamb.

We overcome the devil Satan by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony, and we do not love our lives to the death. In past spiritual battles, the devil often said that my mother was a traitor. In the process of serving my mother, I saw how Old Ma worked, how the yellow weasel worked, the spirit of religion, the spirit of loving the world, the spirit of pampering the flesh, and finally how Satan worked. I thank God that leaving this world to be with the Lord is far better, and I also long to leave this world to be with the Lord as soon as possible, which is far better. But in the days on earth, as long as we live one day, we must live in victory. This is my expectation, my prayer, and my supplication.

Scripture

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God. (Revelation 2:7)

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death. (Revelation 2:11)

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it. (Revelation 2:17)

And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations— 'He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter's vessels'—as I also have received from My Father; and I will give him the morning star. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (Revelation 2:26-29)

He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (Revelation 3:5-6)

He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (Revelation 3:12-13)

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (Revelation 3:20-22)

Scripture Theme

When we look at Revelation chapters 2 and 3, the most important theme is to build a victorious church. Victory is the theme of this passage. All churches experience various situations, and victory means overcoming in any environment—that is the promise God gives us. As you read this passage, you will discover what will happen if you overcome, which is repeated seven times. What is the purpose of repeating it seven times? It is to tell us that only by overcoming can we obtain God's promises, which is a very important theme in Chinese Mingding Destiny.

If we carefully examine each church, such as the words to the messenger of the church in Ephesus, they faced very difficult situations. But after overcoming, God will give them the fruit of the tree of life in the Paradise of God. When it comes to the church in Smyrna, the church is being tested, causing them to suffer, putting them in prison, and suffering tribulation for ten days. Be faithful until death, and God will give you the crown of life. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death. This passage clearly tells us that we should choose to overcome in any environment, because the subsequent promises are closely related to the previous overcoming.

Overcoming Must Become a Habit

Brothers and sisters, we must develop the habit of overcoming. Whether it is victory or failure, it is just a habit. If you have a habit of failing, you will fail when you encounter one thing, and you will fail again when you encounter another thing. Among us, some brothers and sisters have a fear of difficulties in them. When they encounter a difficulty, their immediate reaction is: I cannot overcome it, I cannot do it, I cannot think, this topic is too difficult, I do not have the gift to do it... Having these thoughts is a habit of failure. But the habit of overcoming is: When I encounter a problem, I think I should be able to solve it, and I want to overcome this difficulty. When people overcome, no matter what you do, you need to grit your teeth and stomp your feet!

Once, I met a real estate businessman who was doing a large-scale project. When I went to a city to buy real estate, he received me. I stayed in his villa, and he said something that left a deep impression on me. I thought that someone so wealthy would not need to grit their teeth and stomp their feet like us small buyers when making investments. He said that when he makes investments, he also grits his teeth and stomps his feet, and no matter how big a business you do, you need to grit your teeth and stomp your feet. Why is that? Because it is not easy.

Today, we see a businessman who may have billions in assets. When they need to acquire, merge, or do financial management, they need to stretch themselves to the maximum extent and grit their teeth and stomp their feet. Hundreds of billions or thousands of billions are the same. No matter what situation a person is in, overcoming requires gritting your teeth and stomping your feet. When gritting your teeth and stomping your feet becomes a habit, you are a person with a habit of overcoming.

The Book of Revelation repeats overcoming seven times to form a good habit. In seven different churches and seven different environments, in the midst of various challenges and all kinds of hardships, God gives us a very simple request: Do you want to obtain the promise? The promise is conditional, just like blessings and curses are conditional. God loves us unconditionally, but blessings are conditional.

We can learn a lesson from the Israelites who died in the wilderness. One million Israelites were slaves in Egypt. They worked very hard as slaves and prayed to God all day long. God sent Moses to bring them out of Egypt and into the wilderness. After entering the wilderness, they went through God's year-long training in the wilderness and then sent twelve spies into Canaan.

As a result, the twelve spies brought back many grapes and fruits from Canaan, which was indeed a land flowing with milk and honey. But among the twelve spies, only Joshua and Caleb said that we could definitely obtain that land; the other ten spies said no, saying that there were giants and the descendants of Anak there. They saw us as grasshoppers, and we also saw ourselves as grasshoppers, and if we went over, we would definitely be defeated by them. As a result, God was angry, and the ten spies died on the spot in a plague.

That generation of Israelites lacked the habit of overcoming because they were slaves in Egypt and were bullied all day long, developing a habit of failure. Having been slaves for a long time, they developed a lot of bad habits, thinking negatively about everything, and had no concept of overcoming in their hearts. The power that God manifested in that generation of people can be said to be unprecedented and unparalleled. What they experienced completely surpassed the people of all ages.

But when they arrived in the wilderness and encountered a small challenge, they refused to grit their teeth and rush over, and they refused to believe that they could definitely inherit the land, so they all died in the wilderness. Especially the ten spies, after entering Canaan and seeing the land flowing with milk and honey, still did not believe that God would make us victorious. The Israelites walked in the wilderness for forty years, which was very hard, but in the end, they died in the wilderness. I have a concept in my heart. I do not particularly like the manna in the wilderness. I prefer the land flowing with milk and honey. Entering the promised land is much better than the manna in the wilderness. If we eat the same food every day, we will definitely feel disgusted.

Some people get sick of eating eggs and cannot stand the smell of eggs. When I first came to Singapore, chicken wings were very cheap. I would buy a big bag every time, come back and cook chicken wings to eat. Later, whenever I smelled the smell of chicken wings, I would feel like vomiting. So, if you ask me to eat chicken wings for forty years, I cannot stand it. If you ask me to eat manna for forty years, it is also deadly. Therefore, the days in the wilderness are not good days. Although clothes and shoes were not worn out in these forty years, and we experienced manna in the wilderness, staying in the wilderness is not God's plan. It was only because the Israelites did not have a mentality and habit of overcoming, and developed a slavish nature, that they did not dare to enter the promised land and were forced to stay in the wilderness until they perished.

We must know that the problem is not the external difficulties of the Israelites, but their internal thoughts. The Israelites lacked an overcoming mentality and thinking, lacked an overcoming concept, and did not have a habit of overcoming. Therefore, the external environment is usually not the problem; the internal thoughts are the key. If you observe carefully, the demise of a country is not because there is a strong enemy outside, but because there is weakness inside. I know a businessman who runs a family business with his six brothers. He said that our company is not afraid of external competition. External competition is not a problem at all. We are afraid that our brothers will have conflicts.

In fact, everything is like this. If a country cannot unite internally, it will perish even if there is no external persecution. So the outside is not the problem, but the inside is the key. We often see that the more persecution there is outside, the more unity and cohesion there is inside, which in turn becomes a benefit. We must know why this passage is spoken of seven times, because God requires us to make overcoming a habit. Therefore, we must overcome in any environment. This is a clear theme. From Numbers to Deuteronomy, God shows us the Israelites dying in the wilderness, which is truly an extremely sad story!

God Has a Wonderful Plan for the Chinese

I think God has a wonderful plan for us Chinese today because the Chinese have a character of overcoming. We have all heard the story of the Foolish Old Man Removing the Mountain since we were young. If you look into this story again today, you will find that the Chinese have a character of the Foolish Old Man Removing the Mountain. A sister sent me a video called The Mindset of Overcoming. After listening to it, I thought it was well said. The video said: In such a big environment, with trade wars and epidemics, many people feel that it is over. But what is so great about this? Hearing about the decoupling between China and the United States is terrifying, but what is lacking is the mindset of overcoming.

If we take a careful look at China today, it cannot be compared with China a hundred years ago. In the past so many years, in such a difficult environment, it has been in a state of decoupling, but China has survived. The mindset of overcoming has given me a deep impression. How is it possible for a person to overcome if they only look at negative things? So people must look at positive things. Today, we must have a mindset of overcoming and continue to implement it according to this mindset. He quoted a sentence: Where there is no vision, the people perish. What is the vision of people? Vision is still full of hope in the midst of difficulties. Today, as a Christian, you must have a mindset of overcoming and need to establish good habits of overcoming.

Today, let us be certain that Chinese Mingding Destiny is a theology of victory. It describes an unprecedented victorious theological system. Why is it called Chinese Mingding Destiny? Because we Chinese, in this last generation, are to take over the destiny that God has given us. God created the Chinese in this world, and in fact, He has a wonderful plan for the Chinese. A prophet once said: A group of Chinese people will, in an unprecedented way, correct the errors in Christianity and begin to continuously restore the truth of the Bible. Isn't this talking about us?

What we preach is a theology of victory. Today, we must establish good habits of victory and no longer repeat the tragedy of the Israelites dying in the wilderness. Clearly, they could have realized God's promises, but due to a lack of victorious thinking, a lack of victorious concepts, and a lack of good habits of victory, God's promises slipped through their fingers. Therefore, brothers and sisters, you can carefully ponder and think about it. I encourage everyone to listen and see what theological concepts Chinese Mingding Destiny is talking about.

One of the concepts is that we must fight and win to obtain the promise. If you don't think I'm right, you can contemplate it. Regarding the land that God promised to Abraham, according to our conventional ideas, the Israelites didn't need to take swords and guns to drive out those Canaanites, right? Wouldn't it have been enough for God to blow a breath and then everyone could wear colorful pants, hold colorful fans, dance the秧歌, and carry the Ark of the Covenant, making a lively procession and leisurely entering? But that's not what happened.

What does the Bible record? Moses and Joshua led the Israelites to fight with swords and guns. Swords and guns don't necessarily have eyes; people can die. Today, brothers and sisters, we must understand why the Israelites had to take swords and guns to conquer that place instead of leisurely entering. It is because victory in battle is necessary to obtain the promised land. If you go back to the Book of Numbers, you will see that those who can fight and wage war are the ones who count. If Christians don't count, isn't that a matter of life and death?

Today, we Chinese have encountered a golden opportunity. Initially, the Jews (Peter and John from the Bible who wrote Revelation) established the church. Later, Europeans began to establish churches, and the European church experienced a long dark period. Then Americans established churches, and Americans preached the gospel diligently. Koreans also began to establish churches and began to preach the gospel worldwide.

Now it has come to us Chinese, and we Chinese are not transmitting those erroneous theological systems. We are returning to the Bible again. We have reinterpreted what salvation is, we have reinterpreted faith, we have reinterpreted the church, and we have reinterpreted pastoring. Many concepts have been restored to their original biblical meanings. Today, if you ask me what China will be like in the future, I will tell you that China will become more and more prosperous.

There was an entrepreneur whose daughter is among us. She asked me: If my father asks me what you Christians think China will be like in the future? She thought we would say, like some more traditional Christians, that China is doomed. But we don't say that. We say: China will become more and more prosperous, because I have the prophecies in the Bible. I said to this sister: Tell your father about the prophecy in Daniel where a stone, not made by human hands, came down from heaven and smashed the golden statue in Nebuchadnezzar's dream, shattering it from head to toe. I tell you, that great stone not made by human hands is China.

This generation we are in today is truly the generation of the Chinese. It is a golden opportunity, so we must begin to have a vision and take on the destiny of this generation. God will surely raise up the Chinese in this generation. God will surely raise up China in this generation. God will surely raise up the Chinese church to influence this generation. This generation will no longer follow traditional theological systems but will follow the system of Chinese Mingding Destiny.

In traditional Christianity, there are many errors that need to be corrected, and the truth of the Bible needs to be restored. God will raise up the Chinese in this generation to build a victorious church. What do we preach? We preach a victorious church, we preach the powerful gospel, we preach the gospel of healing and deliverance, and we preach the gospel that manifests God's glory. What Jesus did in the Bible, we must all begin to do today, and we must do even greater things than Jesus, as Jesus himself commanded us in the Bible. We must begin to build God's glorious church in this last generation, so that God's glory may fill the whole earth through us. The gospel will no longer be a powerless gospel, but the gospel will become a gospel of manifesting God's power. The power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead must be manifested through us.

Develop Habits of Victory from Small Things

Some time ago, I planted a chili pepper. I撒 down the chili pepper seeds, and a seedling grew, but the seedling grew with great difficulty. I felt like this chili pepper was just too difficult to manage. Too much watering was no good, and too little watering was no good. It just looked like it was dying. I looked up information and found that I should apply some potassium fertilizer. When I applied the fertilizer, it died. The chili pepper died, but it proved one thing: I was not victorious in this matter of raising chili peppers! I had not mastered the habits of raising chili peppers, but I had a habit of victory inside. This matter couldn't just end like this.

Later, I got a few pots of flowers to raise. I looked up information, raised them, and experimented, determined to figure this out. As a result, they grew quite well, and I finally understood what nitrogen fertilizer, potassium fertilizer, phosphorus fertilizer, and compound fertilizer were. I thought that if I understood these things, even if I raised a chili pepper again in the future, although it would be difficult to raise, it should bear chili peppers. In fact, victory is not difficult; it must begin with victory in small things. It lies in cultivating this habit from places where it is easy to win, starting from small things and then moving on to bigger things.

I really dislike people's habits of not being down-to-earth. For example, when someone catches a cold, they might say: Oh, no need to pray, I'll just take some medicine and I will be fine. I say: When do you start praying then? They say: When I get cancer or something, then I'll pray. I find it strange. If you can't even pray for a cold to be healed, how can prayer heal cancer? If you can't pray for a non-fatal illness to be healed, and then you come to pray for a fatal illness, it is very strange, isn't it? This is a bad habit of not being down-to-earth.

We must start with small things. If we are faithful in small things, God will appoint us to manage many things. For example, if I raised a chili pepper and it died, what if I planted many acres of chili peppers? Wouldn't I lose everything? Therefore, we start learning from small places. Once we understand thoroughly, we can rent a few acres of land and replant chili peppers. Victory is not difficult, but it requires people to start from small things.

In the process of training the Israelites, God carefully arranged for them to win one thing at a time. But from the time they left Egypt until they perished in the wilderness, they did not develop the habit of winning in small things. They could not win in small things. For example, when there was no water to drink, the Israelites immediately complained. They could never overcome the lack of water, and in the end, they never conquered it.

In fact, victory is not difficult, starting from small things, and then gradually making things bigger. If you skip elementary school and go to middle school, and then skip middle school and go to college, it is very difficult. But if you grow step by step in an orderly manner, this is a very ordinary process. Some people feel that they cannot think and that everything is difficult. This is because they do not have the concept of victory. For example, if we raise a chili pepper and it dies, then we try our best to figure it out. My requirement for my co-workers is not difficult. When you do something, figure it out. Then do something else and figure it out again. Isn't this the kind of down-to-earth person that God wants? If you read the Bible carefully, where are there any mysterious things? In fact, God wants down-to-earth people.

Faith is the same. The practice of faith is not meant to make you face great challenges. God gives us enough grace. In the wilderness, God gave the Israelites enough grace to see His wonderful deeds. But they watched God's deeds for forty years and still could not understand God's will. Today, do not fear difficulties. Know that God has long predestined us to win. Joshua led his troops into Canaan and conquered it, but God had already caused the hearts of the enemies to melt before them and had already eliminated the enemies. They were merely working with God and taking hold of God's victory.

God has long predestined you and me to win. If you have a habit and concept of victory, and a victorious mindset, you are guaranteed to win when you do things. Do not fear difficulties. Every difficulty and challenge is a practice question that God gives us, and He will surely help us complete the practice, because God is the God of Immanuel. You must know that you can do it. When I was ministering to a brother, he said that he could not think and that there were many things in his head. In fact, it is not that we cannot, but that we think we cannot, and then we cannot.

I believe that the brothers and sisters who are listening to the sermon must have many strange questions in their minds. Today, after ministering to three brothers and sisters, I told one of them that his bad habit was doing things slowly. He thought that doing things slowly would make them better, but that is not the case. Start overcoming the style of doing things slowly and train yourself to do things quickly and increase the volume. Another person could not think, so I said, Start learning to think. Another person was not very rigorous, so I said, Start practicing being rigorous. In short, wherever you are not good, start winning in that area. No matter what the environment, your eyes must begin to see the dawn of victory.

Recently, I have been reading The Great Qin Empire. The beginning of the article tells about a man named Duke Xiao of Qin, who brought Shang Yang to carry out reforms. A man named Pang Juan, who was the supreme general of the State of Wei, plotted to unite the six states to destroy the State of Qin. Duke Xiao of Qin was in a very bad situation at the time. At that time, the State of Qin had no money, no people, and was plagued by years of war. The country was very weak. But he had a fearless character. Even though he could not win against the weakest country, he still bravely faced the six states. Finally, Duke Xiao of Qin employed Shang Yang and began to implement reforms. The entire State of Qin began to rise strategically, laying the foundation for Qin Shi Huang to unify China.

We often face difficult environments, but today's environment is much better than the environment that Duke Xiao of Qin faced. Do we have the habits and eyes of victory? In operating a business or managing a team and project, which one does not have difficulties and challenges? Precisely because there are difficulties and challenges, your team will become strong and united. If there is no persecution and pressure from the outside, there will be internal strife.

Therefore, today we should not focus on difficulties, but we should focus on hope. We must know that God's promises will not be abandoned. God will raise up the Chinese in this generation to take on their destiny and become a blessing to this generation. Today, God has a wonderful plan for us Chinese, to build a victorious church through the Chinese, just like it says in Revelation, all the promises are behind victory.

Today, we must stand in this position, open our spiritual eyes, and be spiritual people who can see God's beautiful will and see God's beautiful destiny for us. Not by might, nor by power, but by the Spirit of God alone can things be accomplished. Today, in what you are doing, whether it is big or small, tell yourself that I can win, I can figure it out, I can understand it, I can do it, and I will overcome the difficulties I face.

You can tell God: I will do the homework that You have prepared for me well. I will surely bring a good result to You. In the tests and trials that God gives me, I will be faithful in the few things, and God will appoint me to manage many things. God, help me to win in everything today, to constantly develop habits of victory, to begin to have spiritual eyes, and to choose victory in everything we do.

Victory Can Only Be Used to Get God's Promise

I would like to share some insights from Revelation with everyone. I have written two books on the study materials of Revelation, called The Revelation of Building a Victorious Church. All of human history is recorded in this book. It is an encrypted book.

Then I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it, and I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.” (Revelation 5:1-5)

This passage means that our Jesus Christ has won and can open the scroll and break its seals. Our problem comes: The previous chapters two and three talk about the victorious church, the church is the body of Jesus Christ, and the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, that is, Jesus Christ has won, and he can open the scroll and break the seven seals, and the book is displayed. The victory of our church is closely related to the unveiling of these seven seals.

Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a white horse! And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.

When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.

When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a black horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine.”

When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts. (Revelation 6:1-8)

Someone asked me: What is 老马? In fact, 老马 is these four horses. The plague and the COVID-19 virus that we are talking about today are these grey horses, the spirit of death from the underworld. This thing is terrifying and can kill many people. The black horse manages transactions and trade; the red horse relies on war; the white horse is the third horse. These things are all spiritual things.

When we started attacking 老马 a few years ago, we discovered that 老马 is about catering to the flesh and loving the world. The victory of the church has revealed the understanding of 老马. Before the seventh seal is broken, God sent his angels, holding the seal of the living God, and sealed the foreheads of his servants, because God wanted to prevent future disasters from harming his servants. I wish we were all in it. There are only 144,000 of these people, which is pathetically few. After these people are sealed, they will welcome the unprecedented natural and man-made disasters after the seventh seal is broken.

If you read chapter seven, which talks about the seven trumpets, first the first trumpet and the second trumpet, it looks like World War III is about to begin. If you see World War III break out, you will know that the day of the Lord Jesus is very near. That will be a nuclear war. If we are not sealed, we will have a very difficult time. We need to slowly begin to understand what God is doing.

Before these seven trumpets sound, two preachers preached for forty-two months and were killed, and the whole world rejoiced. After three and a half days, breath entered these two preachers, and they ascended to heaven on clouds. When the seventh angel blew his trumpet, the church was raptured. If you see World War III, and you also see two preachers being killed, and you also see them ascending to heaven on clouds, then the whole world will see it. You will know that the seventh trumpet is about to be blown, and we will be taken into the air to meet the Lord. This is God's plan.

In Chinese Mingding Destiny, the reason why we talk about a theology of victory is because only those who win can take possession of God's promises, and only those who win are the raptured church. Therefore, we must clearly understand how important it is to develop habits of victory on earth, to begin to restore spiritual eyes, to restore faith in God, and to win by faith in God. When God's promises are fulfilled in these last days, victory is extremely important. No matter what difficulties are placed before you, begin to use God's methods and spiritual ways to deal with the weakness of the flesh and develop good habits of victory.

Conclusion

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Let us prepare ourselves well every day, and whatever we do, let us do it as if we were doing it for our God, so that we can give an account to our God. Only by being a victorious Christian can we take possession of God's promises. It is not about winning in religious matters but about winning in every matter one encounters in life. If you trust in God, God will surely make us victorious. This is God's promise and the essence of our Chinese Mingding Destiny. In this generation, begin to arise and shine, like bright lights, build a victorious church, and pave the way for the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus!

May God bless everyone!
