Introduction

Good day to everyone. I am delighted to connect with you on this website. I must preface by stating that what I share may not have all the answers, but I encourage you to meticulously examine the 《Bible》 and explore whether its teachings align with what is presented. Most importantly, I urge you to consider whether you have established a coherent system of beliefs. Simply cherry-picking phrases from various sources without a foundational framework will yield little gain.

And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:（《Luke》 22:31）

And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.（《Matthew》 4:3）

Today, I will be sharing a topic that I have rarely heard discussed throughout my decades of faith. The topic is 《Satan wants to get you》. You may find this notion strange, since shouldn't it be Jesus who desires us? Yet, Jesus states in the 《Bible》 that Satan desires to have you, to sift you like wheat.

In the recent period, we have been combating Satan, which has led to the healing and deliverance of many. The effects have surpassed all the previous healing and deliverance efforts. Through this struggle against Satan, I have come to realize the importance of a clear cognitive understanding. It is imperative to not only recognize Satan's schemes but also to understand the truth of the 《Bible》.

Combating Satan is arduous for those who have not established a system of faith. Why do I say this? The reasoning is simple: Jesus, filled with the Holy Spirit, fasted and prayed for forty days and nights, and then Satan appeared. When reading this passage, we may assume that this signifies that the Kingdom of God is descending, and the heavens are filled with God's glory. However, it was Satan who appeared first, saying, Jesus, if you are the Son of God, turn these stones into bread.

These are potent words. Satan did not tempt Jesus to kill or set fires, nor did he encourage him to campaign for the American presidency or overthrow Pilate. Instead, the temptation was to turn stones into bread to satisfy his hunger. Jesus' response was equally profound and praiseworthy: Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.

One day, it dawned on me that every word is not merely some words, a passage, or a few phrases. I was immediately perplexed. How could I possibly memorize every word? I knelt and prayed, God, what am I to do? To live on every word from your mouth is an impossible task to remember all.

God responded that it is not about calculating or memorizing every word verbatim, which is easier to understand. As an engineer, I do not solve problems by memorizing every detail in a book, and the same applies to faith. God then revealed the importance of establishing a complete system of faith.

Establishing a system of faith is excellent. I have continually sought to establish a more comprehensive system of beliefs, following the example of the Apostle Paul, from 《Genesis》 to 《Revelation》. This has led to the formation of Chinese Mingding Destiny.

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.（《Matthew》 16:18-19）

But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.（《Matthew》 16:23）

As Chinese Mingding Destiny progressed, it began to confront Satan, which has yielded tremendously rich rewards. It is necessary to have a fully integrated system of cognitive understanding, spiritual depth, knowledge of truth, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Recently, I have found Peter, in the 《Bible》, to be particularly fascinating in the path to combating Satan.

Peter is quite interesting. The 《Bible》 records Jesus saying two specific things related to Satan to Peter. It would seem that Jesus should have said to Judas, Satan wants to get you! Instead, Jesus says to Peter, Peter, Peter, Satan wants to get you, and to Simon, Simon, Simon, Satan wants to get you. Peter, a very intriguing figure, denied the Lord three times.

In the past, I diligently studied and sought to understand the meanings behind these events. Today, I want to share with you the topic《Satan wants to get you》. This topic is both novel and the result of my recent study and prayerful seeking of the 《Bible》, and I am now sharing this research with you. I prefer to offer new perspectives rather than recycle old themes.

Today, we will delve into the topic of Satan, and Peter is an integral part of this. Peter is mentioned multiple times in Paul's letters, 《Luke》, and 《Galatians》. In this discussion, I will meticulously share about Peter and the lessons we can learn from him. We must learn to not allow Satan to get us. If Satan gets you, then good luck. Satan took hold of Judas, and as a result, Judas hanged himself and his intestines spilled out all over the ground. The things that Satan releases sound reasonable. The issue with Satan's release is that it manufactures a lot of trouble.

Who is more caught up with today, Satan or God? I would say that more people are getting caught up with Satan, but of course, you can disagree. Every time I fight the Dragon's spirit, Satan's spirit and Old Ma's spirit, my direct impression is that these evil spirits are intent on corrupting the church without fail. Though Peter was a key disciple of Jesus Christ, Jesus told Peter, Peter, Peter, Satan wants to get you to sift you as wheat. In other words, Satan had his eyes on Peter. Who is being targeted by Satan now? Be careful, Satan targets those like us who are determined to build the church, to follow and to put up for Jesus.

Once, when I was casting out demons, Satan said it finds it uninteresting to possess those without purpose. However, possessing those with purpose who are involved in building the church is highly rewarded in Satan's kingdom, which is closely related to the person's spiritual standing.

We must begin to consider: How many people are possessed by Satan? Last week, America had its first instance of demonstrators occupying its Congress, resulting in several deaths. The catalyst for this situation was the American president himself, who led a group of his own demonstrators in occupying Congress. This president is hailed as King Cyrus by a group of evangelical Christians who are passionate about politics.

Some of my Christian friends are also fans of Trump, and I continue to see such posts on their WeChat. However, the 《Bible》 does not endorse political involvement. Had it, Jesus would have brought twelve legions of angels to overthrow the Roman Empire and establish the kingdom of Jesus Christ, creating a prosperous Israel. But Jesus did not, and instead, allowed himself to be crucified by Pilate and some chief priests.

These politically engaged evangelical Christians prophesied that Trump would be successfully re-elected for a second term, but what we see is not the case. Of course, the prophecy may face a situation like The Foolish Old Man Removing the Mountain. What exactly is happening? Let's not jump to conclusions and use your own judgement.

Is the gospel of Jesus Christ really about having hope in this life? It is not, it is about the eternal Kingdom. If it were God's Kingdom choosing a president, we would participate fervently and if elected, congratulations. But we must recognize that it is a myth. All worldly affairs are connected to the lies that Satan releases to confuse people. When events unfold, you will realize how destructive these lies are.

The church is still riddled with many misconceptions, such as eagerness to vote, demonstrate, or engage in politics. These will not come from 《Bible》 teaching. Therefore, I encourage the brothers and sisters in Chinese Mingding Destiny to do these at all costs. Be a faithful disciple in the kingdom of Jesus Christ. It is a myth and many in the church believe they are filled with all-encompassing love. Actually there are a lot of swindlers. When I first believed in the Lord, my faith was very weak, but God did not let me see these church circumstances. I later discovered that there are many Christians who came to borrow money.

Some time ago, I went for tea with some Christian friends, and one of them said to me, Brother, I am doing a financial project that is really good. If you trust me, you give me one million, and by the end of the year I can give you three million. As soon as I heard it, I knew it was a fraudster. I give you one million, you borrow one million from the bank. You will pay the bank two million by the end of the year, yet you still have one million! Isn't this just a blank check? The same love in church. Is it really love? I met someone before who believed his church sister had a lot of love and compassion as well. This is a delusion.

Throughout the history of the church, Satan has possessed many people. Who are these people? By studying Peter, we can understand. Peter is the builder of the church. Jesus says to Peter: I will build my church on this rock, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven: and what you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

Later, when Jesus said he would go to Jerusalem to be crucified and rise from the dead after three days, Peter replied, Absolutely not!. Then Jesus said, Get behind me, Satan!. Peter was bewildered when he heard this: How did I become Satan?. Jesus explained: You are not considering God's purpose, but only human ones. A person who only cares about human purposes is Satan and can be possessed by Satan. It is easy to understand that many people were caught up with Satan; Jesus Christ came to minister for so many years and at the end of it all only one hundred and twenty people remained, including the apostle Peter. What about the others? The others were all sifted out by Satan.

All concepts in the 《Bible》 can be interpreted either to human intentions, or to God's intentions. For example, faith, grace, humility, pride, shepherding, governing, control, doing good, redemption all have interpretations according to human intentions and also interpretations according to God's intentions. How confusing this is! For example, humility. I read that word in elementary school, but do you really know its meaning? Humility has humanistic meaning and divine meaning. All the key concepts in the Bible have interpretations according to human intentions and also interpretations according to God's intentions. That's actually a big problem.

To interpret according to human intentions, is to go down Satan's road. Therefore, we must establish a logical and belief system from the 《Bible》. I encourage you to follow the path of the Apostle Paul and establish his theological system, for it is clear to us that the Apostle Paul overcame Satan. 《Satan wants to get you》is written where? In the 《Luke》, Luke followed the Apostle Paul and passes on his system of belief. Today's sermon deals with major topics, do not worry if it is difficult to understand; I will have a Q&A session afterwards.

Scriptures

And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.（《Luke》 22:31-34 ）

This passage sounds heavy and is a prayer that God may grant us a wise heart, and that we may receive these words and discuss what Jesus wants to say.

Prayer

God, today, open our minds so that we may know that Satan wants to possess us. Satan wants to sift us and to filter us out from you. God, keep our hearts so that after everything we experience, we may still be in your kingdom and still be able to persevere in building your glorious church.

God, today, give us this faith and strengthen us, so that in the days to come, we may thwart the wiles of the devil. May we trample on Satan, may we trample upon the devil and his enemies, and may we build your glorious kingdom. Let your glory be seen and manifested through our service. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

What is the author of this passage trying to convey?

《Matthew》, 《Mark》, and 《John》 all wrote about Peter's three denials of the Lord. How was Peter supposed to get by in the church from there on? But he did okay. Although they all wrote about Peter denying the Lord three times, they also documented Peter's resolution: Lord, even if I have to die with you, I will not deny you!. As a result, Jesus said: Peter, I tell you, the rooster will not crow before then that you will deny me three times. Things happened the way it was said. Although Luke also wrote this sentence, Luke wrote a passage about Matthew, Mark, and John that they did not:

And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.（《Luke》 22:31-32）

Today, God has given us abundant grace and opportunities for redemption, but everyone must still be careful. Only Luke wrote this sentence which expressed: Satan wants to get us. Today, our brothers and sisters must understand the entire writing sequence of 《Luke》, and when 《Luke》 was written, the Apostle Paul had already been arrested and taken to Rome. The book of 《Luke》 begins when Luke writes to the excellent Theophilus, who is said to be a very famous person, who will defend the Apostle Paul before the Emperor so to speak. People who can defend before the Emperor are usually very famous people. Therefore, 《Luke》 was written long after 《Galatians》.

《Galatians》 is actually a book written by Paul to correct erroneous beliefs and preserve the purity of the gospel. In 《Galatians》, he spoke of Peter's strange weaknesses. Peter was a church leader, but also afraid of the underlings in the church of Jerusalem. Peter was second-in-command of the church, with James above him and John in third rank. Peter was afraid when he saw people coming from James' area and began to act in hypocrisy. What? In other words, after 《Galatians》, Luke wrote 《Luke》, and later wrote《Acts》.

In the wording of 《Luke》 and 《Acts》, some descriptions of Peter are revealed. Luke was not even there and wrote: Simon, Simon, Satan wants to get you. In later years, time after time, Satan still wanted to get them. In fact, the wording of 《Acts》 also describes many of the things that the church in Jerusalem said, but did not comment much. Luke's records reveal that his theological system is the same as Paul's.

The first time Peter was caught up with Satan was when he denied the Lord three times. At that time, Peter was controlled by Satan and his mouth would not listen to him and he had no control. The people I serve do not count when they are controlled by Satan. Peter denied the Lord three times before the rooster crowed, after which he was very distressed and could not understand what he had done. He thought he could not deny the Lord three times, as he was determined to die with Jesus. In fact, this is the result of fear. At that time, Peter was so afraid that he blurted out what he said and could not control his words. This was the first time Satan captured Peter, and this is how it was cured.

So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.（《John》 15-17）

Jesus told Peter to shepherd his flock, but Peter did not shepherd them well. The one who truly built the victorious church in the entire Bible was the Apostle Paul. Peter had lost the leadership of the church, and he was afraid of his superior's assistant and began to act in hypocrisy so as to not build a victorious church.

The second time Peter was caught up with Satan was when he preached a sermon and several thousand people believed in the Lord, and all of Jerusalem became very prosperous. While the church was becoming prosperous, there were problems with its governance. At that time, the church became a cafeteria. Everyone came to church to eat and drink, but Peter said that his job was to pray and preach the gospel, not to manage meals, so management became the job of the deacons.

In the church, the office of deacon originated with Peter, and the corruption that deacons bring to the church is still evident today. At that time, the governance of the church deviated, turning the church into a cafeteria, resulting in various contradictions and extreme chaos. Finally, God struck the church, causing it to disperse, which ended this evil habit of eating and drinking. This was the second lie released by Satan, and people were easily deceived.

The church is not a place for eating and drinking. The kingdom of God does not consist of eating and drinking, so our lives are not about abundance at home, but about power and joy in the Holy Spirit. Throughout the entire belief system during Peter's time, we can clearly see the work of Satan. Later, many people studied the growth of church membership and researched what Peter did. At that time, the church managed by Peter was breaking bread all day long, which was very deadly. Until the Apostle Paul governed the Corinthian church, these problems were still being constantly cleared up.

When Peter was possessed by Satan for the third time, he stepped down from the position of leader in the church, and James became the leader of the church. This matter is not recorded in the entire 《Bible》, and it has also troubled me. James was Jesus' brother, so how did James become the leader of the church? It is unreasonable for Peter to become the second-in-command in the church, but Peter would not abdicate on his own.

James was an unknown figure in the entire church, but he was Mary's second son, Jesus' brother. What happened next, we can only treat as an apocryphal story. When everyone began to donate, the church became very wealthy, which Mary saw and thought was a good thing, and she had an idea in her heart. Don't think that Mary is Jesus' mother, because sometimes people's vision becomes blurred. In fact, Jesus had already hinted:

Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.” He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”(《Matthew》12:47-50)

Even Jesus' mother must do the will of God, but Mary found Peter and said to him, Step down and let my son James be the leader of the church. Mary had already spoken, and Peter was afraid that he would not dare to refute, so he gave the authority to James. As a result, even Peter was afraid of James' subordinates. Today, when we read the New Testament part of the 《Bible》, James and Judas are both Jesus Christ's fleshly brothers. In the end, the church in Jerusalem became more and more corrupt and became very poor. Later, the Apostle Paul raised money to support them.

This was the third time that Peter lost his leadership and lost the Mingding Destiny God had given him. How could it have become like this? Because he catered to human will. In 《Galatians》, Peter saw people coming from James and pretended to be someone he was not, which is the hypocrisy that Jesus spoke of, behind which is Satan. Although we are bringing these people out to speak today, we just want to encourage everyone to think carefully. These phenomena provide us with a little bit of clues so that we can know how Satan sifts people.

Later, Peter formed his own theological system, but it was very different from the theological system established by Luke and the Apostle Paul. His theological system was not what Jesus taught. For example, Peter believed that Lot was a righteous man. Lot followed Abraham to Canaan. Because Lot's father died early, Abraham treated Lot as his own son. Later, because of the robbery, Lot's people and Abraham's servants often quarreled. Lot said he wanted to leave Canaan, and Abraham said to Lot, If you go south, I will go north; if you go east, I will go west.

Lot has never been considered a righteous man, but in Peter's mouth, he became a righteous man. At best, Lot can only be regarded as a slightly better person in the city of Sodom. What is the logic behind this? It is lowering the standards of Mingding Destiny. In the gospel of Jesus Christ, what is being transmitted is the Mingding Destiny of man; Peter's theological system is very strange. Angels were originally ministering spirits, but in Peter's eyes, he believed that the power and authority of angels were greater. In fact, God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but threw them into hell. So what is Peter saying? Are angels more noble than we humans?

Peter also believed that there is also the gospel preached to the dead so that their bodies may be corrupted and their souls may be saved. These arguments are very strange. Jesus said to Peter, Simon, Simon, Satan wants to have you! If we carefully analyze the logic behind Peter, it is to cater to human will. When a person dies, the living person asks Peter, Did the dead person in our family go to heaven? Peter replied, There is also the gospel preached to the dead. I don't know if these arguments are based on what Jesus taught? It is not. A gospel that caters to human will is not a true gospel; a church that caters to human will is not a true church; a pastor that caters to human will is not a good pastor. No matter how they package these arguments, they cannot cover up catering to human will, and catering to human will is Satan.

No Longer Catering to Human Will

Catering to human will is Satan. Even if catering to human will is packaged with truth, it reads as if it has a lot of flavor and is powerful, but in essence, it is still catering to human will. Lot left Mingding Destiny and left Abraham. In fact, Lot also knew God. God brought Lot out because of Abraham, not because of Lot.

God has mercy on my mother because of me. I hope that the brothers and sisters will become Abraham, and God will remember certain people because of you. Because we do not cater to human will, but only to God's will. We establish God's complete belief system, not taking things out of context. Man's will and God's will often conflict. God wants all people to be saved, but not everyone can be saved. Many people think that God wants all people to be saved, so they lower the standard and let people live a small life. Is this possible? Many Israelites lived a small life and lived very well, but in the end, the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, and God's wrath was revealed.

If the church is built according to the will of man, the number of people will double. If people build the church according to Peter's requirements, they will lower God's requirements, and the number of people will also double. But the kingdom of heaven is a narrow gate! If the standard is lowered, the increase in the number of people will bring about corruption. I have seen some pastors who care very much about the number of people in the church and think that the church cannot be without people, so they engage in pop music to attract people to the church. Many pastors care not only about the number of people in the church but also about money, which is really deadly! I am very emotional. How can the church lack people or lack offerings if it is built according to God's will?

The church cannot be built according to the will of man. What everyone sees in the church seems to be love, but that is love that caters to the flesh, not the love of Jesus Christ. For example, if someone is poor, we will raise money for him. I have done such things before, and I have also been possessed by Satan. Later, when I woke up, no one could stop me from implementing God's word.

Why are we confused when we read God's word? Because we have a system of man and the will of man inside of us. Of course, it is confusing to read God's word according to the will of man. How can it be confusing to read God's word according to the will of God? For example, what kind of love is the love that the church transmits? If you ask me how to treat poor people, I will definitely release him from the curse of poverty and transform him from a selfish person into a person who gives to others. This is the best blessing and the best love for him.

Brothers and sisters may find that the sermons I preach do not cater to human will very much, so people cannot listen to them. Some people even say that the pastor may not know my situation. I don't care what your situation is. What I know is that no matter what situation you are in, you need God and you need the powerful truth and the powerful gospel.

Some brothers and sisters told me that they could not listen to my sermons for a while because what I said contained very little catering to human will. Catering to human will is Satan. Satan wants to have you and Satan wants to have us! However, if we have a strong heart and are determined to build God's glorious church, determined to break down the worldly value system within us, Satan will not be able to have us and cannot sift us out. If we are sifted out by Satan, the consequences will not be good. The church does not please people, and people are uncomfortable. This is why the Apostle Paul's epistles are difficult to read, because he never pleases people.

Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.(《Galatians》1:10)

How serious is this! Why did Paul have such an attitude? Paul was not an ignorant person. Paul had a systematic understanding of God's word, so he wrote so many books to build the church. Today, we must no longer please people and not please him because of who he is.

One of our sisters is very rich and loves God very much. She said to the pastor of her original church, Can you serve every brother and sister like you serve me? Because that pastor served her very attentively, but he didn't serve others attentively. The pastor said, How is that possible! Wouldn't I have to die to serve you like that! I was really emotional after hearing this.

Today, have the brothers and sisters begun to no longer cater to human will and no longer please people? We only please God. Not only do we have God's power on us, but our service will also see results. If we are servants of Jesus Christ, we will not please people. We don't want to win the hearts of people, we want to win the heart of God.

When they arrived, Paul said to them: “You know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day I came into the province of Asia. I served the Lord with great humility and with tears and in the midst of severe testing by the plots of my Jewish opponents. You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house,(《Acts》20:18-20)

Because the Apostle Paul thought that the road ahead would be difficult and he might be killed or arrested. Everyone should carefully ponder what Paul said. This is also my personal creed, which is: I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you. This is my motivation. What I say is mostly to directly destroy the value system within people, because the problem of people is themselves. This is how I imitate the Apostle Paul.

We only please God, so how can Satan have us? If it wants to have us, give it a heavy blow. The brothers and sisters who I directly pastor or who have contact with me know that it is difficult to get me to cater to them. It would be good if I didn't deal with them. I just don’t hesitate to share anything that would be helpful to them, so that the truth of the gospel may remain among us.

The Apostle Paul's service was not easy, but it was also easy because he only trusted in God. The Apostle Paul is the role model I follow. This kind of strong character has been in my bones since I was a child. I never please people. Those who are famous have not added anything to me. No matter who he is, it has nothing to do with me, because God does not show favoritism. Instead, I saw God entrusting me to preach the gospel and saw what I did giving glory to God.

What I say will definitely bring trouble to the brothers and sisters, because it is not the way of man. The key point for Satan to obtain man is to cater to human will and speak the way of man. After I finish speaking, the amount of information that Satan releases will be very large. It can be said that I have no love, but my love and your love are not the same love. Satan is very good at quoting 《Bible》 verses. The confusion caused by Satan is more than the confusion of people with wrong belief systems. Some people say, If you don't cater to human will, I will be confused when I listen to you. I don't know what to do.

In fact, just hold on to one thing: imitate Jesus. Begin to know that our God is a God of great power, our God is a God who solves problems, and our God will never use catering to the flesh to solve people's problems. He uses God's power to solve problems. He does not cater to human will, he only caters to God's will, just like Jesus Christ, who was crucified on the cross in the end, without regret.

Deeply Learning Lessons from Peter

Jesus said, Simon, Simon, Satan wants to have you, to sift you as wheat. What lessons do we learn from Peter? He denied the Lord three times. He had just vowed to Jesus, Lord, I am willing to die with you and go to jail with you. As a result, after he finished speaking, someone asked him, Are you following Jesus? He said no and swore that he was definitely not. What are these words? They are empty words and big words! If we develop the habit of speaking empty words and big words, in the end, this is just a reaction that caters to the human flesh.

When he said these words to the Lord Jesus at that time, did he really think so or was he pretending? No one knows. As for Peter's reaction later, we can know that Jesus had not been arrested or crucified at that time. It is OK to say a few empty words and big words in front of Jesus. Did he give up everything to follow the Lord? Yes. But everything he pursued was still arguing about who was the greatest on the way to Jerusalem.

So we must be careful about what our motive for serving God is. If our motive for serving is still because we are afraid of death and we serve God in order to live, then God is just a tool for us to live. If Satan does not attack you, who will it attack? At that time, you will definitely collapse. This is called the collapse of human design. Peter's human design completely collapsed because it was all human design. Why did he say this to Jesus? Because Jesus had not been arrested yet, he thought that there was no such thing. He still thought that Jesus could be the king of the Jews.

In church governance, we must deeply learn a lesson, which is not to cater to human will or to feed people's stomachs, but to feed people's spirits. In fact, in losing the authority of church management, we must also learn a lesson, which is to no longer cater to human will, but to cater to God's will. Since Mingding Destiny is given to us by God, we must firmly grasp it and no one can deprive us of it.

In fact, God first used Peter to preach the gospel to the Gentiles, but later it all turned yellow, so don't lose the authority of church management and don't lose the authority that God has given you. Therefore, in our church, I will definitely serve attentively, but the matter of authority is non-negotiable because it is given to us by God.

We must learn a lesson from Peter's hypocrisy. If a person is hypocritical, what will he attract if not the spirit of Satan? Hypocrisy is pretending to be fake with God and also playing fake with people. What is this for? Why be hypocritical? Because he is the boss who pays the salary, because he is alive. If people don't care about being alive at all, what is there to be afraid of? Don't lower the standards of God's gospel, don't exalt people, but exalt God's salvation.

God wants to make us sons of God. Angels are just ministering spirits. We cannot lower the standard to the state of Lot, who lost his Mingding Destiny. If you read 《1 Peter》 and 《2 Peter》 carefully, it is powerful, but between the lines, it reveals that angels are more noble and people are not good. The Son of God is not noble, but angels are more noble.

Our Jesus Christ became flesh, why did he become flesh instead of becoming an angel? It is because we humans are made in the image of God, and our salvation is to restore God's glorious image and become children of God. Peter said many other things that are very strange. We must begin to understand why this is so?

Why are these included in the 《Bible》? It is a very good lesson plan for us so that we can think and learn. It allows us to establish a complete belief system through the teachings of Jesus Christ and the epistles of the Apostle Paul, and then no longer be deceived by the lies of the devil and no longer cater to human will.

In fact, Peter is a model of catering to human will. He also wrote these things that cater to human will in 《1 Peter》 and 《2 Peter》, and there are also many truths of God in them, but there are still some things that are really not in line with the standards of God's truth. You can pay attention to many things that Peter taught, which Jesus did not teach. You can think about it carefully.

Do Not Be Possessed by Satan

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.(《Galatians》2:20)

Being possessed by Satan is a very cruel reality. What we should imitate is the Apostle Paul. I have completely offered myself as a living sacrifice. I no longer live in a humble way. Let death be death. I no longer covet the things of this world. Living is a very simple thing. I no longer set my mind on earthly things. Instead, we strive to pursue them in the days of this world without compromise, never obeying our own preferences, and mortifying the evil habits of our flesh by the Spirit.

Even if there are things in us that we cannot control, even if our temper flares up, we mortify the evil habits of our flesh by the Spirit. Why does our temper flare up? It is because we take this little thing of living too seriously. Don't say that you are a Christian, you can't even be a good person. If you are a disciple of Jesus Christ and you still cannot see through this little thing of this life, how is this possible?

Today, those who are running this heavenly road with me, we are determined not to be possessed by Satan again, not to cater to human will, but to only cater to God's will, and to take on the Mingding Destiny God has given us in this generation. Let us be willing, not just to give up our nets and boats to follow Jesus in order to get a position, no! Instead, for the glorious crown in eternity, it is joyful to be so hard in this world, because we are serving our God. This is our ambition and this is our Mingding Destiny.

May God bless everyone!
