Introduction

Good morning, everyone. Today, I will share on the topic of The Faith of the Prodigal Son's Return. The emphasis of the Prodigal Son's Return is not on the return itself, but on the fact that after committing many wrongdoings, the prodigal son still believes that his father is a good father. If the prodigal son does not have such faith in his father when he wants to return, he will not be able to do so.

Recently, I watched Those Things of the Ming Dynasty, which chronicles the entire process of how Zhu Yuanzhang seized power. After gaining the empire, Zhu Yuanzhang killed those meritorious officials, including his own nephews. Did Zhu Yuanzhang achieve his goals by killing so many people? No. If someone had committed many wrongdoings behind Zhu Yuanzhang's back, suffered enough and then wanted to go back to him, a problem arises: would he dare to look for Zhu Yuanzhang? He would not dare to go back to Zhu Yuanzhang at all, because going back would be like walking straight into a trap, and the outcome would not be good.

Today, everyone must understand that in ancient Chinese history, there was no concept of kinship in the struggle for power. If you offend Cao Cao and then go back to him, he will definitely kill you! No matter who you offend, there is a great risk in going back to them. This is why people value the parable of the prodigal son in the Bible so much.

How many people today are healed by God only after they have done something for Him? People who come to us with various problems are healed after we pray for them, but that is actually God's healing. They have not done anything for God at all.

Why does God heal them? On what basis does God heal them? This matter fills me with emotion. Many people around me have been healed by pastors' prayers in church, but they are unwilling to give even a tithe in return. Are they taking advantage or losing out? Later, nothing goes smoothly for them in their job search and work, and they are eventually forced to repent. After repentance, God is gracious to them again.

The path of a Christian is often like this: God is gracious to him, and then he messes up; after messing up, he suffers, and after suffering enough, he turns back to God; then God is gracious to him again, and he messes up again. Such examples are numerous. The path of many Christians is like the stock market, going up and down.

Making a Smart Decision: Follow God Closely, Do Not Mess Up

In my journey as a Christian, I made a very smart decision in my heart: I must follow my God closely, I must love Him, and I will never forsake God in this life. As you read the Bible, you will discover that our God is a super good God.

Some people are very muddle-headed, often liking to judge others. Recently, as we studied the Bible, whether in Leviticus or Luke, you will see that many places mention that God's love is beyond our imagination, but people just like to mess up.

When I was in my twenties, I was still a somewhat headstrong young man. I thought I was a little smart. I said I must find a God who, first, must be capable. But is just being capable enough? People like Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bang, who fought for the empire, are very capable. So just being capable is not enough; He must also solve my problems.

Second, He must love me. But if He is not capable, His love for me is also helpless. If He cannot solve His own problems, how can He solve mine? It is not that I give Him something first, and then He gives to me, but that as long as I turn back to Him, He will be gracious to me.

So, after searching and searching, I chose the faith of Christ Jesus. First, because Christ Jesus loves me, He died on the cross for my sins, and redeemed me from sin. Second, He had to be capable. All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to the Lord Jesus Christ.

When I first went to church, I had not read Matthew or Luke, and I went to an English church. I had to look up every word in the Bible in a dictionary. Some of the songs in the church sang that God calls us His friends. Who am I that Jesus Christ would accept me as His friend?

Ah, people! When one is poor and down on their luck, they very much hope to make friends with an important person. If you cannot make friends with an important person, it is difficult to find a job; if you make friends with an important person, you can get a job with just a phone call. But we do not have that kind of connection, so we get upset when things happen.

I walked into the church, and as I sang the hymns, the lyrics touched my heart. It was like a person wandering outside, suddenly returning to his home. From that day on, I decided to hold on to God tightly. I will never forsake God in this life. Among the Chinese, especially when people are very poor, not many give tithes, but I was one of them. Was it a struggle to give tithes when I was poor? It was a struggle! But I calculated the account. My God is above all the heavens and the earth, and all things in the universe belong to Him. I give back to Him what comes from the Lord. Does not everything I have come from God?

A newbie Christian did not understand very well, but my account was clear, so I decided to offer a sacrifice. In the days that followed, God's blessings were poured out upon me like opening the windows of heaven, so much so that there was no room to receive them. At that time, I was like a prodigal son who had been wandering outside for a long time, suddenly returning to the embrace of the Father. I had not done anything for Him or given Him anything, but He still showed favor to me until this day.

At that time, there was a hymn called I Have Decided, which was an English hymn. I have decided to follow the Lord Jesus and never look back. Today, it is not that we have offered a lot to God, but that we have gained more from God.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, if you are a prodigal son, having suffered enough sin and bitterness in the world, living a particularly hard life, today you must know for sure that there is an extremely wealthy Father in Heaven, whose house has many hired servants, and He is not short of money. He loves us very much, and looks forward to our turning back to Him every day. Therefore, we must make a decision to follow the Heavenly Father closely for the rest of our lives.

Today, we no longer choose to live a hard life in the world, because there is plenty of food in the Heavenly Father's house. Why suffer in the world? When we want to return to the Heavenly Father, we need to repent. In the past, we have not only offended Heaven, but also offended God. Although we are not worthy to be called God's children, God has not abandoned us to this day, and still treats us as His children.

Whenever I mention such things, I can feel the length, breadth, depth, and height of God's love in my heart. His love exceeds all that I ask or imagine. In the Old Testament Bible, it is mentioned that if you turn back to me, I will turn to you. Our Heavenly Father is such a Father. Whenever we turn back to Him, He turns to us, instead of killing us.

Today, as long as we are willing to submit to God and understand the length, breadth, depth and height of His love, we will lack nothing in life if we have God! Brothers and sisters, learn to let go of the things that once caused us pain. Before, we clung tightly to the world, but the world pricked us with thorns, piercing our hearts with pain.

When I first believed in the Lord, I was determined to give up everything to follow God, because there is no one better than God! Today, if you have suffered enough bitterness and sin, then make a smart decision. Know that there is a Heavenly Father who loves us very much. He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who died for us while we were still sinners, and died on the cross, bleeding and sacrificing Himself to redeem us from sin. There is nothing better than this!

If you have not suffered enough, you will continue to be pierced by toil in this world. But if you have suffered enough, choose to turn back to God. Therefore, we should no longer love the world, because this world pierces us with sorrow. Now we must choose to love God alone!

Scripture: Luke 15:11-32

Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them. “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set of for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate. “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came hear the house, he heard music and dancing. So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’ “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never have me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours ho has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’ “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’” (Luke 15:11-32)

Prayer

God, we have once been far away from you, forsaken you, and offended you, but today we want to turn back to you. Lord, we have suffered enough in this world, and have had enough sin. Today, we turn back to you. We are unworthy to be your children in your presence. May you accept us. God, you have endless love. May you accept our return and show us favor again.

Lord, today we want to say in your presence, how great is your love. May it inspire us today, because of your love, to keep running forward, to keep experiencing your promises and faithfulness in you. When we are far away from you, you guide us home again.

Let us glorify your holy name in our days on earth, and let us have the wisdom to see everything in the world clearly. Lord, since you are so gracious to us, we are willing to give up everything to follow you today. This world is no longer important to us. We have given up everything to follow you, and we are attracted by your love. Let the world have nothing in us.

May we be filled with your word, and may we rely on you to walk in your will in this world. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Nothing in the World Is What We are Entitled To

This passage mentions that the younger son said to his father, Father, give me my share of the estate! before the father had passed away. In fact, we feel that this is a very strange thing. What is yours by right? Nothing is yours by right!

In today's laws, as long as a person has not died, everything belongs to him. If he dies, he can write a will and give the things to his children or other people. But today, the phenomenon of children coveting their parents' property is quite common. Among my colleagues, their relatives include uncles who covet their grandmother's property, and younger brothers who covet their mother's property. Such things are simply too common.

When it comes to marriage and divorce, things related to property become even more entangled. This Father was very wise, so he decided to give the estate to his son. Actually, if I were the father, I might have said, You brat, I am not dead yet, and you are already asking for my estate!

In the end, the father really gave the estate to his son. Many TV dramas are also filmed like this. In fact, the more money is at stake when dividing family property, the more of a headache it causes. When people become wealthy, kinship becomes very weak, and all they see in their eyes is money.

When we see such a son, we feel that how could the father just give the money to him like that? You say, I will write a will and give it after I die, can't I? Yes, you can! But that is actually a very dangerous thing. You may die even sooner. He will be waiting for you to die every day, so it is better to give it to him while you are alive!

This father is very powerful and very wealthy. Because this father himself is money, He is more valuable than money. Why? Because this father is so wealthy, He is a very rich Father, and He has seen through many things in the world, just like our Heavenly Father, who is wealthy and often gives things to us.

People Who Love the World Cannot Enjoy God's Blessings

Today, it depends on whether you have the blessing to enjoy. Many people cannot enjoy this kind of blessing. God pours out a little blessing. They take that little blessing and run, and after they have had their fun, then they come back and say, God, I repent! We see that after the younger son sold the family property, he received a lot of money. He had never seen so much money before, and he was so happy.

Ah, people! If you have never seen the world, you feel that you are amazing now, and then you eat whatever you want, play whatever you want, live wildly however you want, fool around with girls or frequent brothels.... Because they do not know how to manage, the money in their pockets is quickly spent. It is very fast for a person to become poor.

Soon he spent all that he had, and then he encountered a famine in that place, and then went to work for others. People arranged for him to do a pig-feeding job, and in the end he even released himself, starving so much that he filled his stomach with the bean sprouts that the pigs ate, living on pig food every day.

Let us think about it; pig food is definitely not delicious. Pig food is a very unpalatable thing. As a result, eating pig food one day he suddenly woke up, thought of his father, and thought to himself. My father's house has so many hired workers and there is plenty to eat. If I go back to work for my father, I will not have to suffer the sin of eating pig food. I will get up and return to my father.

You must know that this son should know his father very well. At that time, his father had given him what he should not have been given. Do you think his father loved him? His father loved him very much, but the son was often muddled headed. I tell you, it is quite unlucky to raise a muddled headed son.

Do you think this father felt good? Surely not. Dad, give me my share! Alas, what share is yours? Are you out of your mind? But he felt it was his. Although the father gave it to him, he was still very sad. In the end, he left resolutely, taking the money with him; there was no kinship at all.

I tell you, this father may have said in his heart that from now on, I will sever my relationship with this son. I ask you, can he sever it? In fact, the father's heart is always concerned about him! No matter what, he is still his son.

As a result, that kid became very poor and miserable, and eating pig food made his head clear. I tell you, once a person's head is filled with money, he becomes stupid. Once you eat pig food and suffer a little bit, you wake up. Eating pig food is especially good for clearing the brain. If you don't believe me, try eating some.

I have heard people say since I was a child that people only suffer from not having the blessing of enjoying pleasure, not suffering from not having the chance to suffer! If a person has suffered enough, he will know what it is to enjoy happiness; if he has not suffered enough, he will not know how to enjoy happiness, and he will be very foolish.

Are you a muddled kid today, or a smart kid? Have you woken up? Or have you not woken up? Then it depends on your fate.

Have Faith in the Heavenly Father's Abundant Mercy

The Faith of the Prodigal Son's Return that I am talking about today is that the prodigal son knows that his Father loves him, and suddenly he wakes up. Why would my father give me things? If he does not love me, how could he give them to me? Before, I had never seen the world, and now I have seen the world, and as a result I have squandered all the money. Now I am eating pig food. If I return to my father, I will confess to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. Give me a job; I will work for you. I will work hard, okay? This son has full faith that his father will accept him.

Today, I tell you, I often experience God. Sometimes I often mess up, but God has not crushed me to death! It would be embarrassing to talk about my foolish actions. I did that again.

We see that some people are quite foolish and often say, Look at how evil this person is. Why doesn't God kill him? Why does God create such a person? Later, I told these people that if God kills those who are the worst in this world, then the second worst one becomes the worst one. Then you kill that worst one, and then another worst one comes out. Eventually, it is your turn. What happens then? You have become the worst. Today, let us not judge people, and let us not laugh at those who retreated fifty paces while we retreated a hundred.

Have you heard of laughing at those who retreated fifty paces while we retreated a hundred? When the enemy comes, whether you run fifty steps or one hundred steps, you are still people who are running away. There is really nothing to boast about! Why did God not kill the most rotten? Because God is full of abundant grace and mercy. I have messed up so much, but God has not killed me because God loves me very much, so I hold on to God tightly.

I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. (Luke 15:18-20)

Keep a Clear Head: Knowing This is Grace We Don't Deserve

Can a mouth that eats pig slop kiss? It reeks of pigsty odour, yet the father embraces and kisses his son repeatedly. This younger son says to his father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.

This should be the mindset of each of us. Which one of us here feels worthy? If anyone among us feels they are deserving, you are a confounded fool, not yet awakened, still not fed up with pig slop.

We should all realize that we are unworthy, that this is all grace from God, and this should be our attitude. Back then, we were foolish, thinking our father should give to us. That is folly. Even if our father gave to us, could we truly enjoy that blessing?

This child, were it not for the father's repeated kisses, that confounded spirit would rise again. Thankfully, he is still clear-headed. Where lies the problem? The problem lies in whether our heads are constantly clear.

Seeing the World Means Seeing Through the Vanity of Life

Which of these things do we deserve? When we consider ourselves unworthy, God will clothe us in the finest robes, slaughter the best calf for us, and the whole family will be joyful and celebrate.

Because the younger son, after wandering about, has seen the world. A person who has not seen the world, who has not been wealthy, and does not know the taste of wealth, who has not eaten or drunk, does not know the flavour of life.

Let us look at Solomon, who was extraordinary. He built palaces in his time. About three thousand years ago, when China was still in the Shang Dynasty, Solomon lived an extremely extravagant life. You may not understand: God, why did you let him live such a lavish life? God wanted Solomon to see the world. Solomon was constantly busy with selecting colours and wood, thinking about what to put here and how to arrange that. Solomon had a great time.

I tell you all that living in a house is not fun; decorating and designing a house is. After living in it for a while, it becomes less interesting. Solomon had seen the world. God also let David, Isaac, and Jacob see the world. The most terrible thing is for a person not to have seen the world; to become arrogant and forget who they are when they have a little money; to walk differently when they have money.

This father let his son go out into the world, risking a great deal, and God did not stop him. God hopes that after we have roamed the world, eaten enough pig slop, suffered, and seen the world, we will turn back to Him.

Thank God, though I cannot be said to be wealthy, in my heart, I feel that many things are meaningless. One lives in delusion without having seen the world, constantly thinking: what is it like to drive a big Mercedes, what is it like to drive a BMW? In fact, after driving them, there is no feeling at all. Nothing much, just bigger wheels, a bigger space, more comfortable, and what is next after comfort?

In truth, think about it: people only sleep in a two-square-meter space. People who have seen the world do not care much about food. For example, Warren Buffett just buys a hamburger and has a coffee at Starbucks. He is so simple. Some people who have not seen the world care a lot about food. For example, eating noodles for 9 yuan and 18 yuan is about the same, but people are willing to choose the 18 yuan bowl, which is quite pointless.

I have not seen too much of the world and am not too interested in these things—eating, drinking, and having fun. I do not partake in any of that. Someone asked me: what are your hobbies? I have no hobbies. I cannot quite understand playing mahjong or golf. When playing golf, wearing a hat in the sun, preparing a set of clothing, and walking on the grass—what is the point? You may think I am a bit unrefined, but you know my inner world is full of enjoyment.

Donald Trump often goes golfing because he lost the presidential election and feels sad, often wearing a long face, but can playing golf bring him joy? Inner joy is true joy. Therefore, you must have seen the world. God is not afraid of us seeing the world; God is afraid of our minds becoming confused after seeing the world. People cannot enjoy blessings they are not meant for, but they can endure any hardship.

There is a joke about a mother who went abroad to see her child, and the child took her out to see the sights. They saw many people queuing up and asked her son: what are those people queuing up for? He said: that's Starbucks, a place to drink coffee. The old woman said: aren't they crazy? How much suffering have they endured? Because coffee is bitter, she thought that foreigners' happiness came from enduring more suffering and drinking more coffee.

From a young age, many things about me were different from other children. For example, I saw adults drinking beer, and when I tasted a bit, I wondered why people loved to drink that stuff. But people just love to drink it. My point is that God really does not care much about the world we see. Solomon saw the world and found it to be vanity of vanities.

The faith of Jesus Christ is built on the idea that life is but vanity of vanities, and so is building palaces for oneself. Solomon later discovered that serving God was the only thing with hope. Our duty is to fear God, because God will judge every deed, whether good or evil.

Returning to the father, when he saw his son returning, having eaten enough pig slop, he was actually very happy. This is called lost and found! Would this son say to his father: Dad, give me my share. The father would say to his son: silly child, the share you wanted I already gave you, but if you want another share, I will still give it to you. Even if you sell everything and go on another round of debauchery, it is okay. If you have not had enough pig slop, go out and see the world again.

Some people do go out to live profligately and eat pig slop, then come back to ask for their share, and after getting it, continue to go out to live profligately and eat pig slop, and then come back to take their share. One doesn't know when they will not be able to return.

Anyway, I understand in my heart. Isn't there a song called Understand in My Heart? Though the applause rings out, I understand in my heart. People should not be arrogant or foolish. Have we had enough pig slop? I only want to enjoy God's presence in my Father's house, to be with God forever!

Is it okay to eat, drink, and be merry in the Father's house? Yes! How many hired servants and how much food is in my Father's house? We lack nothing in eating and drinking, but we lack a heart to serve.

Fear God, Put Down Everything in the World to Serve God

Let us begin today to say to God: Father, I have sinned against you and against heaven. May you receive me again. I am not worthy to be your son. Everything you have given me is grace. Although you have clothed me in the finest robes, although you have slaughtered the fattened calf for me, although you have called all the family to rejoice for my lost and found, my mind is still clear. I know that this world is but vanity of vanities. I want to serve you alone, I want to fear you alone, and I want to obtain Mingding Destiny! I know that I can no longer live for the sake of living. I want to put down everything in the world. I want to follow you. Nothing can entangle me, nothing can make me sad again. I want to love you alone, my God!

I once forsook God, but later I sought Him, and I found God. It was not because I sought that I found my God, but my God was there waiting daily for me to turn back to Him. When I turned back to Him, I tasted the goodness of heaven, tasted the goodness of God, and after experiencing all this, I have faith in God.

In fact, in the process of serving people, I know in my heart that they have not done anything for God, but God has been gracious to them. Our God has abundant grace and mercy. As long as there are ten righteous people in the city of Sodom, God will not destroy it. This is what Abraham deeply experienced and obtained God's will.

This was just a test God gave to Abraham, to see if he walked in God's will. As a result, the test showed that he truly walked in God's will. Passing the test allowed Abraham's family to willingly fear God, to carefully keep and follow His statutes and ordinances.

Those Who Cannot See Through Worldly Matters Are Spiritually Dead

If you have heard what I have said and still do not know that these are all grace, that this is not what you deserve, that the share you wanted before was not what you ought to have, that it was all given to you by God—have you seen enough of the world today, have you had enough pig slop, are you turning back to God? We no longer forsake God, no longer live that hard life.

Let us begin today to be the lost-and-found son of God, treating everything our God gives us as great grace. Although it is freely given, it is not deserved. If you have such a heart of gratitude, the sickness in your body would have healed long ago. Seeing through it is like this.

In the Bible, the elder son had not seen the world or eaten pig slop, and he ate and drank well in his father's house. Seeing his father slaughtering the calf for the younger son's return, he felt sad and said to his father: you have never slaughtered a calf for me. Silly child, these calves are all yours. You can eat them whenever you want.

People do not even know that they are living in grace and often act foolishly. Which of these two sons does God value more? It is the one who has seen the world, who has lived profligately, who has eaten enough pig slop, who has suffered enough, and who is now willing to repent and turn back to God. In God's eyes, the lost-and-found son is more precious.

The problem with many of us is that we cannot see through things. We are sad because we cannot let go. I have served many people, and when they open their mouths, it is all about work problems, all about worldly matters.

If you have not seen through all this, I think you are still spiritually dead. Begin to walk out of this today. Will we lack anything in our Father's house? Why do we value these work matters so much? It is because we feel that if something goes wrong at work, we will not be able to live. We have not eaten enough pig slop.

Therefore, today, let us begin to turn back to God, put down everything in this world, and say: God, I have sinned against you and against heaven. I am not worthy to be your son. From now on, I am willing to be a hired servant in your house. In this way, you will receive abundant grace, because what God needs is a repentant heart. Whenever we turn back to God, God will turn back to us. Repentance is turning back.

Only Those Who Repent Can Obtain the Promises and Grace of the Kingdom of Heaven

The kingdom of heaven is near, and the promises and grace of the kingdom of heaven are ours. Only those who repent can obtain them. What kind of people will turn back to God? Those who see through things. Seeing through vanity, our hearts will become extremely light. We turn back to God, and those who trust in God lack nothing. God will surely prepare the finest robes, calves, and wealth for us. Living will not be a problem at all.

I have suffered, because letting go is not easy. I shed many tears and endured much hardship. Later, I discovered that it was all because of the value system in my head. Someone created a song for me called Already Let Go. They said it was written about me, and in fact, it really was.

Some time ago, the assistant received a person who said he was looking for a church everywhere in the local area. Actually, he had been listening to my Bible study online for a long time, but because it was an online church, he was always afraid to enter the network world. In fact, the shepherding and service of the online church release God's grace and power far beyond that of a brick-and-mortar church.

What can a brick-and-mortar church do? We can imagine a church of a thousand people. Everyone goes on Sundays, you don't know the person sitting next to you, and then everyone sings a song, and then a sermon is given, and then you go home. Originally, you could rub shoulders with them, but now you can't even rub shoulders with them because you have to be a meter away, and when you see that face, it seems like you know them but you don't. What can you do? You can't do anything. That kind of entity, that kind of relationship, is a valueless relationship.

But we are in contact and shepherding every day online, understanding your problems, and carrying out prayer and service. Later, he said to the assistant: I looked for many churches, and after seeing the local brick-and-mortar churches, he said I knew that I don't need to look anymore. They are all like that.

He decided to contact the assistant, who arranged for a pastor to shepherd him. He said that the teacher's preaching was particularly good and no one preached so deeply. For me, this is a compliment, and I was very encouraged after hearing it.

Today I want to ask everyone a question: why can I preach so clearly and thoroughly? The reason is simple: I have seen through everything and have given up everything for God.

If a person cannot see through all this and is still engaged in church politics in the church—suppose a church of ten thousand people has an annual income of hundreds of millions, if you are the senior pastor, wouldn't it be very prestigious? At the same time, it would be very hard work. You need to manage hundreds of millions of assets, and some people want to do this, and some people want to do that. If you have not seen through everything in the world, can you manage it well?

Conclusion: Make a Smart Choice and See Worldly Matters as Pig Slop

Today, let us all make a smart choice with me, which is to see everything in this world as just pig slop. Have we had enough? If we have, then let it go. It is meaningless. Running and running, what lies ahead is just a coffin.

Today, we must change lanes and run towards the road of eternal life. Let us walk with God for a lifetime, and let the devil Satan have nothing in us! If it wants to make us sad, it will not be able to achieve its purpose.

The devil Satan wants us to be sad. Today, we are no longer sad for the things of this world. The things of the world and the devil Satan are meaningless in us, because we have given up everything to follow the God who loves us, for Jesus who once died on the cross for us, because of the motivation of His love.

Like this prodigal son, from now on, in the Father's house, he begins to enjoy his Father's glory, his Father's honour, and everything that belongs to his Father. No longer like that foolish elder son who has not seen the world. We are all people who have seen the world. We have all seen through this world. We have all given up for God, in order to obtain Mingding Destiny in eternity.

May God bless everyone!

大家好,今天跟大家分享《浪子回头的信心》。**浪子回头的信心,讲的重点不是浪子回头,而是浪子在干了很多坏事以后,他仍然认为他的父亲是一个好的父亲。**如果浪子想回头的时候,对他的父亲没有这样的信心,是没有办法回头的。 最近我看了《明朝那些事儿》,记载了朱元璋打天下的整个过程。朱元璋在得到天下之后,把那些功臣都杀掉了,包括自己的亲侄子。朱元璋杀了这么多的人,他达成自己的目标了吗?没有。假如有一个人背着朱元璋干了很多的坏事,在外面吃够了苦,然后要回去找朱元璋。那么问题来了:他有胆量找朱元璋吗?他根本没有胆量回去找朱元璋,因为他回去就等于自投罗网,结果好不了。 今天大家都要知道,中国古代历史当中,人在权利的角逐当中,根本没有亲情的概念。如果你得罪了曹操,然后你再回去找他,他一定会把你干掉!无论你得罪了谁,你再回去找他,都要面临很大的风险,这就是人为什么如此看重《圣经》里记载的浪子回头的比喻。 今天有多少人,是先为神做了什么,才使得神来医治吗?带着各样问题来到我们当中的人,经过我们祷告之后病好了,其实那是神医治的,他根本没有为神做什么。 神为什么医治他呢?神凭什么医治他呢?这件事让我非常感慨。在我身边有很多人,在教会里牧师祷告得了医治,回过头来,十一奉献都不肯交。那他是占便宜了,还是吃亏了呢?后来找工作、做事情没有一件是顺利的,最后又被迫悔改,悔改之后神又恩待他。 一个基督徒的路常常是这样:神恩待了他,他又犯浑;犯浑以后又遭罪,遭够罪以后又回转向神,然后神又恩待他,他又犯浑。这样的例子比比皆是,很多基督徒的路,都跟股票市场似的上上下下。

在我做基督徒的过程当中,我心里做了一个非常聪明的决定:我要紧紧的跟随我的神,我要爱他,我要一生一世不离弃神。《圣经》读来读去你会发现,我们的神是一个超级好的神。 有的人很浑,常常喜欢论断人。最近我们查经,不管《利未记》还是《路加福音》,你会看到很多地方都提到:神的爱超乎我们的想象,但是人就是喜欢犯浑。 我在二十几岁的时候,那时还是一个愣头愣脑的小伙儿,我觉得自己还是有一点小聪明的。我说我得找一位神,第一,得有能力,但是有能力够用吗?朱元璋和刘邦这种打天下的人,都是很有能力的,所以有能力这一点不够,还得解决我的问题。 第二,就是得爱我。但是如果没有能力,爱我爱得也很无奈。自己的问题都解决不了,怎么可能解决我的问题呢?不是我先给了他什么,他才给我,而是只要我回转向他,他就恩待我。 所以我找来找去,选择了基督耶稣的信仰,首先,因为基督耶稣爱我,为我的罪死在十字架上,把我从罪里赎出来。第二、还得有能力,天上地上所有的权柄都归了主耶稣基督。

我刚到教会的时候,《马太福音》、《路加福音》都没有读过,而且去的还是个英文教会,《圣经》里每个字都得查字典。教会的有些诗歌唱的是:神称我们为他的朋友。我是什么人,耶稣基督能接纳我做他的朋友吗? 人啊!就是在穷困潦倒的时候,很希望能交到一个大人物。如果交不上大人物,找工作都费劲;如果交上一个大人物,打个电话工作就有了。但是咱们没有那个关系,遇到事情就很闹心。 我走进教会,唱着唱着诗歌,歌词就打动了我的心,就像是一个飘荡在外的人,突然间回到了自己的家。从那一天开始,我就决定要紧紧的抓住神,我一生一世都不离弃神。在中国人当中,尤其是人很穷的时候,交十一奉献的人不多,但我就是其中一个。在我穷的时候交十一奉献,挣扎不挣扎呢?很挣扎!但是我算了一笔账,我的神在上天下地都是他的,宇宙万物都是他的。我把从主而来的都献给他,我所有的不都是从神来的吗? 一个刚刚信主的毛小子真的不是特别明白,但我的账算得明白,所以就决定奉献。接下来的日子,神的祝福如同打开天上的窗口倾倒在我的身上,甚至无处可容。当时我就好像一个浪子,在外面飘荡久了,突然间回到了天父的怀抱,我没有为他做什么,也没有给他什么,但他依旧恩待我直到今日。 那时有一首诗歌叫做《我已经决定》,是一首英文诗歌,我已决定跟随主耶稣永不回头。**今天我们不是为神摆上了很多,而是从神那里得着了更多。**

所以弟兄姐妹,如果你是一个浪子,在世上遭够了罪,吃够了苦,活得特别辛苦,今天你要确切地知道,有一位极其富有的天父,他的家里有很多雇工,也不差钱,他非常地爱我们,天天盼望着我们能够回转向他,所以我们要做一个决定,就是**一生一世都要紧紧跟随天父**。 今天我们不再选择在世上过苦日子,因为天父家里的口粮有余,何必要在世界上遭罪呢?当我们要回到天父面前,我们需要悔改,在过去的日子里,我们不仅得罪了天,也得罪了神,虽然不配称为神的儿子,但神直到今日都没有撇下我们,依旧把我们当做他的儿子。 每次提起这样的事情,我心里头都能够感受到神长阔高深的爱,他的爱超过我所求所想。在旧约《圣经》提到,你们若回转向我,我就转向你,我们的天父是这样的天父,我们什么时候回转向他,他就转向我们,而不是把我们杀掉。 今天只要我们愿意降服在神的下面,明白他的爱有何等的长阔高深,人一生有了神就什么都不缺乏了!弟兄姐妹,要学会放下曾经让我们痛苦的东西,之前我们紧紧抓世界,世界却用刺刺痛我们,用痛苦扎透了我们的心。 我刚刚信主的时候,就下定决心放下一切来跟随神,因为没有谁比神更好!今天如果你受够了苦,遭够了罪,那就做一个聪明的决定,要知道有一位天父很爱我们,他赐下自己的独生儿子耶稣基督,在我们还是罪人的时候,就为我们死,且死在十字架上,为我们流血牺牲,要把我们从罪中救赎出来,没有什么事比这还美好! 如果你没遭够罪,就会在这个世上继续被劳苦刺透,但如果你已经遭够了罪,就选择回转向神。所以我们不要再爱世界,因为这世界用愁苦刺透我们,现在要选择单单爱神!

神啊,我们曾经远离你、离弃你、得罪你,但我们今天要回转向你。主啊,我们在这世上已经受够了苦,遭够了罪,今天我们就回转向你。我们在你面前不配做你的儿子,愿你收纳我们,神啊,你有无止境的爱,愿你悦纳我们的回转,重新恩待我们。 主啊,今天我们要在你面前说,你的爱是何等的长阔高深,今天就激励我们,因着你的爱不断地向前奔跑,在你的里面不断经历你的应许和信实,当我们远离你的时候,你再次引领我们回家。 让我们在世上的日子可以荣耀你的圣名,让我们有智慧看清世上的一切。主啊,你既然如此的恩待我们,我们今天就愿意撇下一切跟随你,这世界对我们来说已经不重要,我们已经撇下所有的一切跟随你,被你的爱所吸引,让这世界在我们里面毫无所有。 愿我们被你的话所充满,让我们靠着你,在这世上行在你的旨意当中,奉耶稣基督的名!阿们!

这段经文里讲到,这位父亲还没去世,小儿子就对他说:请你把我应得的家业分给我! 其实,我们就觉得这是一个很奇怪的事情,什么东西是你应得的?哪有你应得的东西呢? 在今天这个世代的法律上,人只要没死,东西都是自己的,如果死了,可以写一个遗嘱,把东西归给孩子或者其他人。但是今天孩子贪父母产业的现象,那是相当的普遍。在我的同工当中,他们的亲戚里面,舅舅贪恋他姥姥的产业,弟弟贪恋他妈妈的产业,这样的事简直太多了。 如果谈到结婚、离婚,那跟产业相关的事,就更纠缠不清了。这个父亲很聪明,就决定把产业给了他这个儿子。其实如果我是这个父亲,可能我就得说了:你这个臭小子,我还没有死呢?你就来要我的产业啊! 结果这个父亲还真就把产业给了这个儿子,很多电视剧也都是这么演的。其实关于分家产这事,越有钱就会越让人头大,人有钱了以后亲情变得很薄弱,眼睛里所看到的都是钱。 我们看到这样一个儿子,就觉得这个父亲怎么就这样把钱给了他呢?你说:我写好遗嘱,等我死了以后再给,不行吗?可以啊!但其实那个是很危险的事情,你很可能会死得更快一点,他会天天盼你死,还不如活着的时候就给他呢! 这个父亲很厉害,也很有钱。因为这个父亲本身就是钱,比钱还值钱,为什么呢?因为这个父亲太有钱了,是个非常富有的父亲,并且把世上很多的事情早就看透了,就像我们的天父一样富有,常常把东西给我们。

今天就看你有没有享受的福分。很多人就享不了这种福分,神倾倒一点祝福,拿着那点祝福就跑。然后放荡完了回来说:神啊,我悔改!我们看到这个小儿子把家产变卖了以后,拿到很多钱,他也从来没有见过这么多钱,开心坏了。 人啊!没有见过世面,就觉得自己这下可了不起了。然后想吃啥就吃啥,想玩啥就玩啥,想放荡就放荡,想泡妞就泡妞,想逛窑子就逛窑子……因为不会管理,结果口袋里的钱很快就花光了,人要变穷那是很快的。 很快他耗尽了一切所有的,又遇见那个地方闹饥荒,然后就去给人家打工。人家就给他安排了一个放猪的活,结果他连自己也放了,饿得实在不行就拿喂猪的豆芽充饥,天天吃猪食活着。 我们想想猪食肯定不会好吃的,猪食是非常难吃的东西。结果吃着吃着突然间就醒悟过来,想到他父亲,心想我父亲家里那么多的雇工,口粮充足,如果我回去给我父亲打工,就不会遭吃猪食的罪了,我要起来回到我父亲那里。 你要知道这个儿子,他对他的父亲应该很了解。当时,他的父亲就把他不该得的给他了,你说他的父亲爱不爱他?他的父亲很爱他,但是做儿子的,有的时候常常犯浑。我跟你讲,谁要是养个浑儿子,那是挺倒霉的。 你说这父亲心里头能好受吗?肯定不好受了。老爸,把我的那份给我!唉,哪一份是你的?你脑袋有毛病啊?但是他就觉得是他的。虽然父亲是给他了,但心里还是很伤心的。结果他义无反顾的离开了,带着钱走了,根本就没有亲情。 我告诉你,这个父亲可能心里都说,从今以后我断绝跟这儿子的关系。我问你,能断的了吗?实际上父亲的心都在牵挂着他呢!不管怎么说,毕竟还是他的儿子。

结果那小子变得很穷很惨,吃猪食吃的脑袋清醒过来。**我告诉你人脑袋里一充满了钱,就变得愚蠢,一吃猪食遭点罪就醒悟过来了**。吃猪食特别醒脑,你要不信你就吃点试试。 我从小就听人家这么说,人只有享不了的福,没有遭不了的罪!如果人遭够了罪,就知道享福是啥了;如果没遭够罪,就不知道享福怎么享,人就会很混。 今天你是个混小子呢,还是个聪明的小子呢?你是否醒悟过来了呢?还是没醒悟过来?那就看你的造化了。

我今天讲这个《浪子回头的信心》,就是浪子知道他的爸爸爱他,突然间就醒悟过来了,我爸爸凭什么把东西给我呀?如果他不爱我,他怎么可能给我呢?我之前我没见过世面,现在我见了世面了,结果我把钱都放荡完了。现在我吃猪食,如果我回到我父亲那里,我跟他认罪,我说:父亲,我得罪了天,又得罪了你,你给我一份工作,我给你打工,我好好的打工行不行?**这个儿子对他父亲收纳他这件事充满了信心**。 今天我告诉你,我常常经历神,有的时候经常犯浑,但神没有捏死我啊!可我犯的浑劲儿,那讲起来都就觉得很丢人的。哎呀,我怎么做了这事呢? 我们看有一些人挺浑的,常常就会说:你看这个人这么恶,神怎么不把他干掉啊?神怎么整这么一个人?后来我就跟这些人说:神如果把这世上最坏的那个人干掉,那倒数第二坏的就变成最坏的了,又把那个最坏的杀掉,然后又出来一个最坏的。最后轮到你了,咋办呢?你就成了最坏的了,今天咱别论断人,别五十步笑百步。 大家听过五十步笑百步吗?敌人来了,跑五十步还是跑了一百步,其实都是逃跑的人,真的没什么可夸耀啊!**神为什么没有把最烂的干掉呢?因为神充满丰盛的恩典和怜悯**。我这么犯浑,神都没有把我干掉,因为神非常爱我,所以我紧紧抓住神。 **我要起来,到我父亲那里去,向他说:父亲!我得罪了天,又得罪了你;从今以后,我不配称为你的儿子,把我当作一个雇工吧!’于是起来,往他父亲那里去。相离还远,他父亲看见,就动了慈心,跑去抱着他的颈项,连连与他亲嘴。(《路加福音》 15:18-20)**

吃猪食的嘴巴能亲吗?满嘴都是猪臭味,但是这个父亲却连连抱着儿子亲嘴。这个小儿子在父亲面前说:我得罪了天,又得罪了你,我不配得做你的儿子。 这是我们每个人当有的心态,我们当中哪一个人觉得自己是配得的呢?如果我们当中哪个人觉得自己是配得的,你就是一个浑小子,脑袋还没醒过来,猪食还没吃够。 **我们都应当晓得我们都不配,这都是神给的恩典,这是我们应该有的心态**。当初我们犯浑,我们觉得父亲应该给我们,这就是犯浑。就算父亲给了我们,难道我们真的能享得了这福吗? 这孩子,要不是因为父亲连连跟他亲嘴,那浑劲儿又得上来了,还好到现在那脑袋还是清醒的。**问题在哪儿?问题就在于我们的脑袋是否是常常清醒**。

哪一样是我们配得的呢?**当我们认为不配得的时候,神就会把最好的袍子给我们穿上,把最好的牛犊宰了给我们吃,然后全家都欢喜快乐**。 因为小儿子经过一番闯荡,就见过世面了。人没有见过世面,没有富有过,不知道富有的滋味,没有吃过什么、喝过什么,就不知道人活着的滋味。 我们来看所罗门,他就厉害了,当时建造了宫殿。大概三千年前,中国还是商朝的时候,所罗门就过着极其奢华的生活。你有可能不太理解:神啊,你怎么让他过这么奢华的生活呢?神就是要让所罗门见见世面,当时所罗门每天就忙于选颜色、选木料,思考这个摆设什么呀,那个怎么弄呀,所罗门玩得不亦乐乎。 我跟大家讲住房子不好玩,装修和设计房子才好玩,因为住着一段时间就没有意思了。所罗门见过世面,神也让大卫、以撒、雅各见过世面。**人最恐怖的就是没有见过世面,有点钱就不知道姓什么了,有了钱走路就不一样了**。 这个父亲让儿子出去见世面,是冒着极大的风险,神也没有阻止。**神希望我们闯荡江湖以后,吃够了猪食,受过了苦,见过世面了,就回转向神**。

感谢神,我虽然谈不上有钱,但是在我的心里,觉得很多东西都没有意思。没有见过世面就活在迷思当中,心里就老想着:驾个大奔驰是什么感觉,驾宝马车是什么感觉?其实,驾上之后什么感觉也没有。没有啥意思,就是轮子大点、位置大点、舒服点,舒服之后又有什么呢? 其实,想想人就是睡两平米的地方。见过世面的人,对吃不太看重,比如人家巴菲特就是买个汉堡,到星巴克喝个咖啡,人家就是这么简单。有的人没有见过世面的,对吃看得可重要了,比如吃面9元和18元的差不多,但是人就愿意选择18块一碗的,所以就很没有意思。 我没有见过太多的世面,对这些东西不太感兴趣,吃喝玩乐,样样不占。有人问我:你有什么爱好呢?我没有什么爱好,对于打麻将和玩高尔夫球的,我都不太能理解。打高尔夫的时候,在太阳底下带一个帽子,还要预备一套服装,然后在草地上走,有什么意思呢?你可能觉得我有点土,但是你知道我内心的世界充满了享受。 特朗普常常去打高尔夫,因为选总统输了,心里难受啊,经常拉着大长脸,但是打高尔夫能给他带来快乐吗?内心的快乐才是真正的快乐。所以你一定要见过世面,神不怕我们见世面,神怕我们见世面后,脑袋糊涂了。人有享不了的福,没有吃不了的苦。 有一个笑话,一个母亲出国去见孩子,然后孩子带着她出去看看,就看到很多人在排队,就问儿子:那些人在排队等啥呢?他说:那是星巴克,喝咖啡的地方。那老人家说:这不是疯了吗?这吃了多少苦呢?因为咖啡是苦的,就认为洋人的快乐是因为吃的苦多,喝的咖啡多。

从小我有很多东西跟其他孩子不一样,比如我看大人喝啤酒,我沾了一点就奇怪人为啥爱喝这个东西呢?但是人就是爱喝这个。我的意思是神真的不大在乎我们所见的世面,所罗门见了世面发现是虚空的虚空。 **耶稣基督的信仰是建立在人活着不过是虚空的虚空,为自己建造宫殿也是如此**。所罗门后来发现服侍神才是唯一有指望的事情,我们所当尽的本分就是敬畏神,因为无论是好是坏,是恶是善,神都必审问。 回过来讲这个父亲,看到儿子回来,已经吃够了猪食,心里其实是很高兴的,这叫失而复得!这儿子会不会对他父亲说:老爸,把我那一份给我吧。这父亲会对儿子说:傻孩子,你要的那一份我已经给你了,但是你再要一份,我依然还是会给你的。即使你变卖所有的,再去放荡一圈也是可以的,如果你没吃够猪食,你就再出去见见世面吧。 有的人的确是出去放荡吃猪食,然后回来再要他那一份,要完了继续出去放荡吃猪食,然后再回来拿他那一份,就不知道哪次就回不来了。 反正我心里明白,有一首歌不是叫《心里明白》吗?虽然掌声响起来,但是我心里明白。人别狂妄和愚昧,我们吃猪食吃够了吗?我只想要在天父的家里好好的享受神的同在,我要一生一世与神同在! 在天父的家里可不可以吃喝快乐?可以!我天父的家里有多少的雇工,多少的口粮,我们吃喝都不缺,但就缺一颗侍奉的心。

今天就开始对神说:天父啊,我得罪了你,又得罪了天,愿你再次接纳我,我不配成为你的儿子,你所有给我的都是恩典,虽然你把上好的袍子给我穿上,虽然你把那肥牛犊给我宰了,虽然你把所有的家人喊来为我的失而复得欢喜快乐,但是我脑袋还是清醒的。**我知道这世上不过是虚空的虚空,我要单单的侍奉你,我要单单的敬畏你,我要得着命定!** 我知道不能再为活着而活着,我要把世上的所有东西放下,我要来跟随你,没有任何东西可以让我纠结,没有任何东西可以让我再难受,我要单单爱你,我的神! 我曾经离弃过神,后来我寻求他,我就找到了神。**不是因为我寻找才找到我的神,是我的神在那里天天等候我能够回转向他**。当我回转向他,我已尝到了天恩的滋味,尝到了神的美善,经历了这一切我有对神的信心。 其实我在服侍人的过程中,心里清楚他们没有为神做过什么,是神恩待了他们。我们的神有丰富的恩典和怜悯,只要所多玛的城里还有十个义人,神都不会灭绝,这是亚伯拉罕深深的经历之后,得来了神的心意。 这不过是神给亚伯拉罕的一个考题,看他是不是行在神的心意中,结果一试,果然真的是行在神的旨意当中。通过了试验,好让亚伯拉罕的眷属能够甘心乐意的敬畏神,谨守遵行他的律例典章。

如果你听了我所讲的,你还不知道这些都是恩典,这不是你配得的,你之前所要的那一份也不是你当得的,都是神给你的。今天你是否见够了世面,是否吃够了猪食,是否要回转向神?我们不再离弃神,过那种辛苦的生活。 今天就开始做失而复得的神的儿子,把我们的神给我们的一切当做极大的恩典。虽然是白白得来的,却不是应得的,如果带着这样感恩的心志,你身上的病早就好了,看透了就会这样。 在《圣经》当中所记载的大儿子还没有见过世面,也没有吃过猪食,在父亲的家里吃香的喝辣的。看到父亲为小儿子的回归,欢喜快乐的宰牛犊,心里难过跟父亲说:你都没有为我宰过牛犊。傻孩子啊,这些牛犊都是你的,你想吃就吃呗。 人竟然不知道自己活在恩典当中,还常常犯浑。这两个儿子哪一个对神而言是看为宝贵的呢?就是那见过世面,曾经放荡过,吃够了猪食,吃够了苦头,现在愿意悔改,回转向神的人。在神的眼里,失而复得的儿子才更加宝贵。 在我们当中,很多人的问题都是因为看不透,难过是因为放不下。我服侍过很多人,一开口全都是工作上的问题,全都是这世上的事。 你如果还没有看透这一切,我想你还是一个属灵的死人,今天开始从这里走出来,我们在天父的家里还会缺乏吗?我们为什么就那么看重工作上的这点事呢?那是因为我们觉得如果工作出了什么事就没法活下去,猪食还没有吃够。 所以今天我们开始回转向神,把这世上的一切全都放下,说:神,我得罪了你,又得罪了天,我不配做你的儿子,从今以后我甘愿成为你家里的一个雇工。这样,你会得着极其丰盛的恩典,因为神需要的就是一颗悔改的心,我们什么时候回转向神,神就会回转向我们,悔改就是回转。

**天国近了,天国的应许和恩典都是我们的,悔改的人才能得着。什么样的人才会回转向神?就是那些看透的人。** 看透了虚空,我们心里就会变得极其的轻松,我们回转向神,信靠神的人一无所缺,神一定会为我们预备上好的袍子、牛犊、钱财,活着根本就不是一个问题。 我曾经辛苦过,因为放下不容易,流了很多的泪,受了很多的苦,后来发现全是因为脑袋里的价值体系。有人为我创造了一首歌《已经放下》,他们说写的就是我,事实上也真的就是我。

前一段时间,小助手接待了一个人,他说他在当地到处找教会。其实他在网上听我的查经也听了很久,但是因为是个网络教会,他一直不敢走进网络的世界,其实网络教会的牧养、网络教会的服侍,所释放神的恩典和能力远远超过实体教会。 实体教会能做啥?我们想都能想到一千人的教会,大家礼拜天去,你也不认识坐在你旁边的人,然后大家在那唱一唱,然后讲一篇道就回家。原来你还跟他们蹭蹭肩膀,现在想蹭也蹭不了,要隔一米远,看见那张脸好像认识又好像不认识。能干啥?啥也干不了。那个实体,那种关系是毫无价值的关系。 但是我们在网络上天天都在联系牧养,了解你的问题,带着祷告和服侍。后来他跟小助手这么说:我找了很多教会,后来看了当地的实体教会,他说我知道了,我不用再找了,都那样。 他就决定联系小助手,小助手就给他按排了牧者来牧养他。他这么说,老师讲的道特别好,没有人讲这么深。对于我来讲,这是一个夸奖,我听了以后很受激励。 今天我就想问大家一个问题,为什么我能够讲得明白,讲得透彻呢?原因很简单,就是我已经看透了万事,已经为神撇下了一切。 如果一个人看不透这一切,还在教会里搞教会政治,假设一个万人教会一年的收入上亿,如果你是这个主任牧师,是不是很风光?同时也很辛苦,上亿的资产需要你管理,有些人要搞这个,有些人要搞那个,如果你不是看透了世上的一切,你能管得好吗?

今天大家跟着我做一个聪明选择,就是把这世上的一切看作猪食而已,吃够了吗?吃够了就放下,毫无意义。奔跑着奔跑着,跑到前面就不过是一口棺材而已。 **今天我们要改变车道,往那永生的道路来奔跑**。让我们一生与神同行,让魔鬼撒旦在我们里面毫无所有!它要想让我们难受,不可能达到它们的目的。 魔鬼撒旦就是希望我们难受,我们今天已经不再为这世上的东西难受了。世上的东西和魔鬼撒旦在我们里面毫无意义,因为我们已经为爱我们的神,为我们曾经死在十字架上的耶稣,因着他爱的激励,我们已经撇下了一切来跟随了他。 如同这个浪子从今以后,在父的家里开始享受他父的荣耀、他父的尊贵,他父亲所有的一切。不再像那愚昧的大儿子没有见过世面。我们都是见过世面的人,我们都看透了这个世界,我们都已经为神放下,为了得着永恒里的命定。 愿神祝福大家!
