Introduction

Good day to everyone. I am very pleased to meet you online once again. Whether you are on our website, on YouTube, or listening to my sharing elsewhere, I pray that God may be glorified through you. Recently, the topics I have been sharing are all related to the church. Today, I would like to share with you a topic called That in the Church He Might Be Glorified. This topic comes from the Book of Ephesians. Over the past years of ministry, I have discovered a very miraculous phenomenon. After I tell you about it, you may come to the conclusion that God is to be glorified in the church.

Let me give you an example: A sister's daughter had a high fever, so she desperately prayed for her child. This sister usually prays for the people she pastors, and it is very effective. However, she prayed for her own daughter for several hours, but the fever did not subside. So her husband began to pressure her to take their daughter to the hospital. The sister became anxious and called her pastor. As a result, her pastor prayed for the child slightly, and the child's fever subsided. Why is this so? Moreover, such things happen often. Later, this sister also figured out a rule: When demons come, find the pastor.

Another sister, who is also a disciple trained among us, is quite capable of healing the sick and casting out demons. The effect of serving others is also very good, but recently her mother was diagnosed with cancer, and it has metastasized. This sister prayed for her mother, but the effect was not very good. I give these examples not to mislead everyone, but to hope that everyone can understand one thing, that is, God has His marvelous design to glorify the church. We cannot turn the faith in God into personal cultivation. Perhaps you think that the home is also a church, but God did not design it that way.

This sister sought her pastor to pray for her mother, which was yesterday. This sister also liked to mess around on her own before. When her daughter was sick, she would pray for her child for two or three hours without hesitation. I used to teach everyone to persevere one minute longer than the devil, but the sister could not persevere to the end, so she sought the pastor to pray, and she got well quickly. Then I hope that our brothers and sisters know that God is to be glorified in the church, not in people's homes. Some people think: My home is also a church. Is the home a church? This is a confusion of concepts.

Why am I talking about this topic? Because I hope everyone has a heart to build a glorious church. Yesterday, I talked with a sister who practices traditional Chinese medicine. She has been a Christian for many years and has experienced many acts of God, but she has many problems herself, one of which is physical obesity. This sister has only been with us for a year, but her finances have experienced a great turnaround. Even during the pandemic lockdown, the volume of business in her store was four times what it used to be. This is a very miraculous thing. Therefore, this sister serves more actively and even prays for some cancer patients, and the effect is very good. Why? Because she is a church builder. She builds the church according to God's will, and you will find that God is clearly with her, and everything she does prospers.

As I speak here, I want to ask, are there still people among us who have no concept of the church at all? Is there such a person who is quite busy, but has no effect? Today, God is to be glorified in the church. If you do not see God's glory in the church, you have to ask a question: Is the Spirit of God in this place? Is the presence of God in this place? This is a very challenging question. The Bible, in Ephesians, says that God will accomplish all things abundantly according to the power that works within us. If what we see in the church we are in is not this situation, we really need to ask, what exactly happened? Many people build the church not according to the Word of God, but according to their own ideas. What Jesus said in the Bible, they do not say, and what Jesus did not say, they say a lot. Isn't this courting death?

Yesterday a sister came to me and said that her eyes had a problem: her eyes were squinting into a slit, her eyelids could not open, she had no strength, and her eyes were dull. I have ministered to this sister before. In fact, her eyes have always had problems, and she also has dizziness, and the whole person seems to be stepping on cotton, the sky is shaking. This sister came to me because she had been discerning good and evil some time ago, and then she suffered a little bit, so her eyes had a problem. Many friends advised her to go to the hospital, but she remembered me and called me directly. As for me, I answer every phone call, don't think I'm busy, I'm very efficient in doing things. But my responsibility is to try to train more people to serve like me. Later, I prayed for her, and her eyes got better.

After a while, this sister felt like there was a grain of sand in her eye, which was rubbing her eye badly. All the previous symptoms were gone, only this feeling of sand in her eye was still running around in her eyelid. When I opened her eyelid to look, there was nothing there. It was actually an evil spirit. I prayed for her again, and after praying for a while, the feeling of a foreign object in her eye completely disappeared. Last night I also prayed for a sister who had a foreign body sensation in her throat, and the foreign body sensation also disappeared. I do a lot of things because God is to be glorified in His church.

In fact, if you carefully ponder, you will find that your pastor's ministry to you is very effective. And you are basically unable to talk about the effect of praying there by yourself. Why? Because your problem has just become one of the reasons for building the church; it is just that your pastor has established a relationship of serving and being served, and a relationship of shepherding and being shepherded in the process of serving you.

So what exactly is the church? This is an extremely perplexing question. Today, I want to explain as clearly as I can, but everyone must deeply remember one sentence in their minds: God is to be glorified in His church. Everyone must know that this is God's will determined before all ages and before all things. This is God's good pleasure and God's most wonderful plan.

You must know that God is not glorified in the home, nor in the enterprise, nor in the government, but God is glorified in the church. But there are many confusing concepts in us, so you must carefully examine the Bible. God will destroy this world and create a new world, and this new world is through the temple of God, and the temple of God is the church of God. During this period of time, I specifically talked about the church series. Last week, I started to talk about the overview of the church series, and there was no way to talk about the content in depth. Today, I am talking about God being glorified in the church, which is to talk about things in depth, so that the brothers and sisters can remove these confusions and misconceptions, and let our brothers and sisters see that God is glorified in the church.

Scripture

To him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3:21)

Prayer

God, may you build your church on your rock among us; Lord, today let your church trample on the power of the underworld, and the power of the underworld cannot overcome it; Lord, give us the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and today manifest your power and manifest your glory among us; Lord, may you be glorified among us, because we are willing to be used by you to become the people who build your glorious church. Lord, we are to walk in your will, and we are to build your glorious church according to your word; Lord, the problems we experience are thousands upon thousands, but we know that your glory is the key to solving our problems.

Lord, today we will leave everything to follow you, we will do according to your will; Lord, may your will be done on us, as it is in heaven; Lord, arise us, in this generation let us be bright lights, may your glory shine on us, may your glory be manifested through us, so that we can become a people after your own heart, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Scripture Background

Paul wrote Ephesians chapters one, two and three in a grand manner. He was very excited when he wrote here. He wrote: God, according to the power that works in our hearts, you will accomplish abundantly what we seek and think in our hearts, you will accomplish all things abundantly, exceeding what we ask or think. Then came a passage, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever, Amen!

I think this is God's will. God hopes that through the great power that works in us, that is, the power that resurrected Jesus Christ from the dead, can also lead us to build His glorious church. God wants to use the church to make the principalities and powers in heaven know God's manifold wisdom and glory. Originally, this was according to God's will determined in Christ Jesus our Lord before the ages.

The Concepts of Church and Glory

This passage proposes several most important concepts. The first concept is the church. What exactly is the church? Why can't I see God's glory in the church where I am? It seems that what I see is not accomplishing all things, but nothing is accomplished? No one cares when I get sick, and I am not healed, and it is very hard! I still have to go to church on Sunday, which wastes a lot of time, but I can't see anything, only see that my condition is getting worse and worse, and the problems are getting more and more serious.

So what exactly is the church? Is the church like a large auditorium, with a very modern big band in front, and an organ; the pastor wearing a long robe, holding a staff, opening the Bible and preaching a sermon there, and then everyone opening the Bible below to listen to the sermon, but they just can't see the glory of God? What exactly is the church? Today I will slowly clarify this concept.

The second concept, what is glory? What exactly is glory? We feel that this glory seems invisible and intangible and very mysterious. Today I will clarify the concept of the church, the concept of glory, the glory of God, and other concepts one by one, and then everyone will ponder and think.

I have a habit in me that no matter what I do, I want to do it well and do it right. Building the church also means doing it right. If you do it right, the result will be right; if you don't do it right, how can there be a result? For example, electricity is a kind of energy, which comes from the power supply. If you run the circuit correctly, and then connect the light bulb, and you press the switch of the light bulb, the light will light up immediately; if the light bulb is connected incorrectly, the light cannot light up. If we plug a rubber band into the power supply, it is impossible to light up.

Today, someone establishes a church, but cannot see the glory, they will refute and say: The church is like this! Their approach is like plugging a light bulb into the power supply through a rubber band. Although it is a light bulb plugged into the power supply, it cannot light up, because the light bulb must be connected to the power supply to light up.

Therefore, if you want the light bulb to light up, every key step must be done correctly. If it doesn't light up, it may be that the wire is not connected correctly, the light bulb is not right, or there is no electricity in the power supply. In short, if there is a problem with one step, the light cannot light up. We build the church in the same way, we need to clarify the basic elements and concepts of the church, and we can operate only when they are all connected correctly.

A few days ago, I was renovating a brother's house, and I did all the electricity for this house. After connecting the circuit, I was ready to push the gate, but several places were not lighting up. If it doesn't light up, it means there is a place that is not connected correctly. After checking, I found that my employees had made several mistakes. Some places did not connect the electricity well, some places connected the wires wrong, and some sockets were broken. So after reconnecting the wires and repairing the broken things, the light lit up. The church is the same. God is glorified in the church, and a church without glory is not a true church.

At the beginning of this year, I went to a place and met an old sister who had an iron plate in her arm. At that time, when she was serving in the church, she accidentally broke it, because there was no glory of God in the church, so this kind of thing happened. After the old sister broke it, she went to the hospital to connect the bones, and then put an iron plate in the bones.

When this sister came to me, it was already two years later. In the past two years, she had endured great pain, but she had been enduring it. No one in the church cared, and they couldn't solve it. At that time, I was very puzzled. The church is a heavenly institution. The church is connected to the throne of God, and the power of God can come to us through the church from the throne of God. But this church couldn't even solve the problem of arm pain, and the people in the church didn't even think there was a problem.

Until today, there is no glory in the church, and everyone thinks it is a matter of course. But the church that Paul said is not like this. The true church is glorified. Later, I prayed for the old sister, and although the iron plate in her bone was still there, the symptoms of arm pain completely disappeared. This is the glory of God manifesting. Why does this church have glory and that church does not have glory? It is because they have not corrected the concept of the church.

Therefore, everyone should begin to ponder whether the results of our work are the same as the results described in the Bible. Some pastors build churches without results, but they still do it for ten, twenty, thirty, or forty years, and then make up many reasons and lies for themselves and say: The church is like this. How self-righteous this is! Don't think that this is judging people, this is a very real phenomenon, and I hope that these people will gradually wake up.

There is a pastor who has a poor mentality in his heart. I said to his sister: The words your brother said have a poor mentality because of unbelief. People's unbelief will bring a poor mentality. His sister said: No way! He sold his house and dedicated it all to God. How could he have a poor mentality? The problem lies here. This pastor sold his house and dedicated it to God, but he lived a poor life himself and still had debts outside. Rich people would not do this.

I said to the pastor's sister: Sister, the reason why your brother has a poor mentality is because he thinks that God needs his money very much, and he thinks that God is very poor, so he sells the house and dedicates it to God. In fact, this is a very wrong idea, this is a poor idea. Our God is so rich, He has rich power, and our God is not short of money.

It is a good thing that this pastor has a heart to dedicate, but the motive for dedication is not to treat God as a very poor God. In this way, it is impossible to see the glory of God. I said to this pastor's sister: Encourage your brother to raise his salary. God is not short of money. If a person feels that if he takes a high salary, God will become poor, this is a poor mentality. Building a church according to a poor mentality is a poor church, and building a church according to a rich mentality is a rich church.

Therefore, when we have wrong attitudes and thoughts in us, we must correct them in time. After correcting them, we will definitely see the glory of God. If the glory of God fills the church, this church is not poor. Therefore, before building a church, we must clarify the basic concepts of the church, such as: church, glory, God's plan and arrangement, so that we can grasp the laws of things.

There is a sister who, no matter how I teach her, her understanding is never clear. I keep telling her to put God first, but she just thinks that work, family, and children are very important. Because of this kind of thinking, the problems she encounters can never be solved, so her days are very hard. Today, are we willing to participate in God's plan, according to God's plan and arrangement, not according to our own ideas. Our thoughts and arrangements are not important, how you see it is not important, what is important is how God sees it. How you think is not important, what is important is what God says.

We must grasp the laws of things. If the church is full of God's glory, all problems will be solved easily. If the problem has not been solved, it is because the things in people's minds need to be dealt with. In my heart, there is a deep expectation, that is to let the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers be cleansed, and the dead be raised from the dead. The church we are building is getting closer and closer to this expectation.

A few days ago, I served a sister whose hand skin was like tree bark, and the color was very strange. After I prayed for her for a while, her skin returned to normal, which is very miraculous. Until today, there are still paralytics and polio patients among us, but in my faith, I know that my God will manifest his glory among us. The key is whether we are willing to build his church according to God's word. If you build the church according to God's word, the glory of God will fill the church, and many problems will be solved easily.

When I think about these kinds of things, I really hope that our brothers and sisters can be used by God to participate in God's great plan in eternity. To know clearly in the heart the mystery of God, to know how all things are arranged, how all things through the church, so that the principalities and powers in heaven now know the manifold wisdom of God, to know how God determined it in Christ Jesus before all things, this is how wonderful!

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3:14-21)

always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church—for we are members of his body. “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. (Ephesians 5:20-33)

These scriptures are actually talking about the church. Even the later talks about the relationship between husband and wife are referring to Christ and the church, not the husband and wife. Because the entire Book of Ephesians is about the church, so don't leave the concept of the church to do anything else.

Definition of the Church

The church is a heavenly institution. It is God Jehovah incarnate, that is, our Savior Jesus Christ, who established a heavenly institution on earth. This heavenly institution represents Jesus and exercises the functions and powers of Jesus Christ on earth. If the church is to exercise the functions and powers of Jesus Christ on earth, the church will definitely do what Jesus did.

If you observe a little, you will find that many churches do not do what Jesus did. Hasn't Christmas just passed? But I have seen many Christmas patterns online, especially eating the most. It's not that people can't eat, people can eat, but the church is not a place to eat, the church is not a cafeteria. The church represents Jesus exercising His functions and powers on earth. The church is the army of God, the church is the family of God, the church is the temple of God, and the church is the place filled with the Spirit of God.

Where exactly did the concept of church originate? It stems from the teachings of Jesus Christ.

And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. (Matthew 16:18-19)

The keys of the kingdom represent authority. After the Lord Jesus gives us the keys to the kingdom, what we bind on earth will be bound in heaven; what we loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. This is what Jesus did. The church is the body of God, the army of God. Therefore, God wants to manifest His kingdom through the church. The church is a heavenly institution, the temple of God, the house of God, the army of God, filled with the Spirit of God. The fundamental function of the church is to bind and loose. Why? Because the church is God's most marvelous design.

Some ask, why doesn't a rubber band light up a bulb when inserted into a power cord, but a copper wire does when connected? Because the rubber band is not designed to connect light bulbs. People have discovered that electricity can be transmitted through copper wires, and high-voltage lines can transmit electricity from power plants to homes. Rubber bands cannot do this; they cannot transmit electricity. Different things have different characteristics and properties.

Therefore, to build a glorious church of God, we must first clarify the concept of the church. What exactly is the church? The church is a spiritual institution, not an earthly one. Today, many Christians are very interested in worldly things but not as interested in heavenly things. How can the glory of God fill this place? Without God's glory, we are just blindly struggling on earth. Therefore, building a victorious church is one of the core tenets of Chinese Mingding Destiny.

The Church as Relationships Between People

An old pastor once told me: If there is a relationship between people, then there is no problem; if there is no relationship between people, then a problem arises. This is profound. What does it mean? If people have a relationship with God, then when something goes wrong, it doesn't matter because the blood of Jesus can cover it. If we don't have a relationship with God, then when something goes wrong, it matters; those who should be blessed will be blessed, and those who should be cursed will be cursed.

A sister asked me a few days ago: Those who carefully obey will be blessed, and those who do not carefully obey will be cursed. What should we do? Actually, this is not difficult because the curses and blessings have already been determined, but we have a relationship with Jesus Christ, and Christ's blood can cover our transgressions. That is called grace. If our transgressions are not covered, what will happen? The devil will mess with us all day long. We won't even be able to avoid being corrupted, let alone grow.

As we are liberated and gradually understand the truth, from faith to faith, God dwells in the relationships between people. Our church is a pastoral church, not a gathering church. We take pastoring very seriously because God dwells in pastoral relationships, so that our love may be rooted and grounded. This foundation is God, the Word of God, with Jesus Christ as our example.

I used to serve a brain cancer patient. He and his wife were both Christians in Australia. They knew I was good at casting out demons, so they came to me. I served his wife, and she got better. Then she left us to travel and have fun. I told them, You need to follow me and believe in the Lord properly. You can't mess around with this.

They said, I can't leave our church. I said, I don't want you to leave your church either, but can your church help you? They said their church was very loving because when his wife was sick, the people in the church brought her a pot of soup every day. If soup could cure the disease, your wife wouldn't have needed to seek prayer from us.

Is the love of bringing soup love with roots and foundations? Is it God, working powerfully within us, abundantly accomplishing all things? No. Bringing soup is a carnal affection, not what the church should do. Brain cancer needs not soup, but the Word of God, the army of God, the glory of God, the Spirit of God filling us. The concept of the church is easily confusing, even the understanding of love can be easily confused. The work of the church is to bind and loose. If you think the demon of brain cancer is too big to handle, then surely you can deal with the smaller demons, but you can't. This is a critical matter.

The basic concept of the church is the relationship between people, a relationship based on the love of Jesus Christ, so that our love may be rooted and grounded.

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. (Ephesians 3:16-18)

Yesterday I served an elderly sister who had an eye problem, and her eyes quickly got better. I enjoy serving people, but even with all my abilities, I can only serve a limited number of people. The solution is to train more people to serve. I told her, Not many pastors are like me. She said to me, No, no, I have never seen a pastor serve people like you do.

Even though they both bear the name of church, the concepts are different. The love of Jesus Christ and the love of bringing soup are vastly different. The love of Jesus Christ is the love that sets the captives free and liberates the oppressed. The love of Jesus Christ is the love by whose wounds we are healed. The love of Jesus Christ is the love that truly bears our transgressions and carries our curses.

The elderly sister mentioned above had been discerning good and evil for some time, which led to her eye problems. The result of her discerning good and evil was attributed to Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ truly bore our transgressions and carried our curses. Do we have the heart of Jesus Christ, the love of Jesus Christ, and the power of Jesus Christ? If our love is not in Jesus Christ, it is useless love. For example, if something happens to you, your mother loves you very much, but is helpless.

We need to gradually clarify the concept of the church. When the Israelites came out of Egypt into the Promised Land, the Lord God said, This is the army of the Lord that came out of Egypt! Don't think that an unruly crowd is not an army. God's intention is still for the church to be an army, and the army is the most important state apparatus of God's kingdom. The coming of God's kingdom must be guarded by an army, and the church of God is the army of God.

I served an elderly sister who came to see me from afar. This sister is the mother of a pastor. Her son's way of building a church is quite interesting. It would be better if her son didn't pray for her; every time he prayed, the elderly sister's medication dosage would increase threefold. Later, having exhausted all options, she came to me. Seeing that she was so focused on catering to the flesh, I first dealt with the flesh. I rebuked her, and as a result, her insomnia was cured. Her son told me that only I could subdue his mother. Why is this the case? Because his church had not broken down the flesh, and catering to the flesh is death!

Therefore, love that caters to the flesh is not the love of Jesus Christ, and the relationships between people in such a church are not pastoral relationships. Such a church is not a church where Jesus Christ is glorified. If we are going to do something, we should do it right. If we are going to build a church, we should build a glorious church of God. This is very important. Don't do it wrong and not even realize it, thinking that this is just how it is. Today, let's take a close look at the churches around us; there are all kinds.

God Receives Glory in the Church

Our God receives glory in the church. How does He receive glory? The Bible actually explains it very clearly, but people read it and don't understand. For example, there was a blind man, and people brought him to Jesus and asked Jesus, Who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? If people spend all their time discussing these things, the problem will not be solved. Therefore, don't be trapped by things devoted to destruction, ancestral curses, or the dark forces behind the family. These are all elementary. The key is the glory of God. If the glory of God comes down, these problems are not problems.

So Jesus answered, Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. As a result, Jesus healed the blind man. If the blind man had not been healed, would God have received glory? No.

God wants to receive glory through the church. This church must be one that causes the blind to see, the lame to walk, lepers to be cleansed, and the dead to be raised. This church must have God's miraculous works, and miracles and wonders must occur. Is this true? You can examine the Bible, but what you read may be different from what I read. Whose is more in line with the Bible?

Many Christians have love, but this love is not love that glorifies God because they feel they don't have the gift of casting out demons. I don't think gifts play a crucial role. I think that if people are determined to build a glorious church of God, according to the words in the Bible, God will surely abundantly, according to the power that works within us, manifest the power that raised Jesus from the dead among us. We can bind the dark forces on earth and release the captive and oppressed. This is the most basic work of the church.

Miracles and wonders are not optional. It's not about what happens if you have a gift versus what happens if you don't. It's about God wanting to receive glory in the church, which means the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the dead are raised. The disciples Jesus trained did these things. If you have always felt that you don't have gifts, you can put this myth down today. If you love God's word, start doing what I say and rebuild your faith.

There are many people listening to my sermons online. If you are a pastor, start rethinking. 神 wants to manifest His glory through you in the church, and the great power of God must be manifested. I know that all of us love 神 very much, but is our love rooted and grounded? Do we mistake catering to the flesh for love and compromise for gentleness? What a delusion this is.

Today, we must let our love be rooted and grounded, so that all the saints may understand how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus. Regardless of what sin or curse it is, 神 is determined to set these oppressed people free, allowing His people to regain freedom and re-enter His kingdom. Lazarus had died and been in the tomb for four days, but after Jesus prayed, he came back to life. He even walked out of the tomb, which was quite frightening. When Lazarus came out, our 神 was also glorified.

There was a sister whose business volume increased fourfold because she worked diligently, served diligently, and studied the Word of 神 diligently. Recently, she also participated in serving a cancer patient, who was also very driven. Because of the sister's service, the patient's health has improved. Did the sister neglect her work? Did she neglect her studies? No. Because the glory of 神 was right there.

We must not deprive 神 of His glory. This is not depriving 神; it is depriving ourselves. How much we need the glory of 神! How much we need Mingding Destiny to build 神's glorious church because the answer to all problems lies in 神's glory. The concept of 神's glory refers to this, not to whether a certain brother or sister has a lot of life or how they behave. I don't judge their behavior, but what is 神's glory? It is causing the blind to see, the lame to walk, lepers to be cleansed, and the dead to be raised. 神 receives glory, and 神's miraculous works and multifaceted power are manifested through us.

神 and miracles are inseparable. What humans do is limited to what they can do. You may have a lot of love, but our greatest love is to liberate people from the dominion of the devil because those who are oppressed by demons are suffering greatly.

A few days ago, a sister said that a certain pastor was very close to her. Whenever he opened his mouth, he would talk about poverty, always feeling a lack. After hearing this, I knew it was the spirit of poverty. She asked me if I could serve that pastor. Of course, I am willing to serve because I really hope that 神 can receive glory in his church.

Today, it's not just Chinese Mingding Destiny. I hope that there will be thousands of churches on this earth that can glorify 神 in their midst. I hope that more churches will enter into the will of 神, so that their love may be rooted and grounded, so that they may understand how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, so that they may know that 神 can do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, manifesting His glory.

This is today's theme. If you build the church according to the word of 神, you will have the glory of 神. Solomon built the temple according to the revelation that David received from 神, and there was the glory of 神. Today, if the church implements and builds according to the word of 神, you will see the glory of 神.

The church is a heavenly institution. The church can reach heaven. The Tower of Babel cannot reach heaven; the Tower of Babel leads to the demonic spiritual realm, but the church leads to the divine spiritual realm. The church is filled with the power of 神, and we Christians are priests of the living 神. Our feet are on the earth, bringing earthly problems to the throne of 神. Our hands can touch the throne of 神, bringing the power of 神 down from heaven, so that 神 can manifest His glory through His church, through these priests of His.

My service is a service with power. One person who did not believe in the Lord saw what I did and said that I could communicate with all three realms. I couldn't quite grasp what that meant, but I think the literal meaning of communicating with all three realms sounds pretty good. So, when we practice the word of 神 and implement it, by faith, because of our faith, the power in our hearts will be strengthened. Originally, 神 receiving glory in the church was 神's plan and 神's design; it was not man's idea. 神 receiving glory in the church is very important.

A few days ago, someone told me a joke. This person posted a scripture in his social circle, saying, Peace be to you! Peace be to your house! Peace be to all that you do! Peace to your house and all that you have! This passage actually cannot be quoted like this. Why not? Because this passage was David's message to Nabal. In fact, the meaning of this passage is very deep. It can sound good or very bad, depending on how you hear it.

When Nabal heard the message David sent, he said, Who is David? I don't know this person. As a result, Nabal was struck down by 神 not long after. Was there peace? There was complete peace. So, this passage cannot be randomly quoted. I saw many people liking it below, thinking that it sounded good on the surface, but they didn't know that it was said to Nabal, and Nabal was later destroyed.

In fact, this peace is 神 receiving glory in the church. If the Spirit of 神 fills His church, the church will have peace because peace comes from 神. We all have a good desire for peace; Nabal also had a good desire for peace, but there was no peace. Therefore, the church is a place where we see the glory of 神 through service, and the captive and the oppressed among us will see the glory of 神.

This is a Glorious Office

No matter what we do in this world, you may be a programmer, senior manager, entrepreneur, or just an ordinary person, even a cleaning worker or a retiree. But no matter what you do, you can receive this glorious office, which is through building 神's glorious church. 神's will is for us to be victorious, but without 神's glorious church, without 神's victorious church, how can we talk about victory?

Therefore, brothers and sisters, start to take on this glorious office and stop living a life that deprives yourselves. Begin to know that 神's glory is the root of solving all our problems, and begin to believe that the power of 神 will work within us, abundantly accomplishing all things. The Holy Spirit will fill our midst, 神's Spirit will lead us, and then 神 will receive glory.

Do you know that there are several numbers in the Bible that are very interesting? People have five fingers and five toes, though some may have six due to deformity. In Genesis, there is an account of the sons of 神 seeing that the daughters of man were beautiful and taking them as wives. The children born were giants, huge in stature, with six toes and six fingers.

So the number of man is five, the number of the devil is six, and the number of 神 is seven. Looking at the numbers, the number of man is one less than the number of the devil, and thus cannot defeat the devil. But even if we are smaller than the devil and our abilities cannot match his, because we build 神's glorious church, we can connect these people with 神. It is no longer five plus seven divided by two equals six, a tie with the devil, but five plus seven divided by two is greater than six, defeating the devil.

The devil is the ruler in the heavenly places, and he can know the manifold wisdom of 神. What is the wisdom of 神? It is to enable man to overcome these demonic enemies! Our Jesus Christ came into the world and became a man. Why did He become a man? It means that He was truly a man of flesh and blood, who could represent us in overcoming the devil, so we already have a path to victory!

This is a glorious office, and this office is to start building 神's glorious church, building 神's temple, building the place where 神 dwells in spirit. What a glorious office this is! This office enables Him to be praised for His glorious grace and His great power, becoming a beautiful testimony!

For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. (Ephesians 1:4-6)

Today we must know for certain that through the wisdom and revelation of 神, we may truly know 神.

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. (Ephesians 1:18-23)

You and I enter into this glorious Mingding Destiny, can draw upon the power of 神, and can exercise the authority of 神 on earth. What problems or obstacles can stand before us? None! No matter what kind of things we encounter, begin to receive Mingding Destiny and build 神's glorious church!

One of our sisters who loves 神 very much has written a song called I Am Willing. Let us sing this song together. Those who are willing, offer tithes into the temple of 神, in the church of 神, which is infinitely good. But if you don't understand the meaning of offering, please don't offer. Those who are willing, come and sing this song with me; those who are willing, come and forsake everything and follow Him together.

What is better than 神 in this world? What is more glorious than building 神's glorious church? Let us say to 神: I am willing! Today, 神 wants to receive glory in the church. What a glorious Mingding Destiny this is! Today, let us make a choice and tell 神: I am willing, I am willing to offer myself!

At this time, raise your hand, of course, if you are willing; those who are unwilling do not need to raise their hands. Pray with me: Lord Jesus, I am willing to do Your will! Lord, I want to receive this Mingding Destiny, determined to build Your glorious church! Lord, You have given me the title of son, You have chosen me in Jesus Christ, and I am determined to offer myself completely to You.

Lord, according to the great power that worked in Jesus Christ, the power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead, let it work in our midst, so that we can trample the demonic enemies and strike Satan! Let us live days filled with Your glory! Lord, I will offer myself completely to You. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

May 神 bless everyone!
