Introduction

Today, on the road of spiritual warfare, the demons we are fighting are getting bigger and bigger. Recently, we have been battling the demon of hypocrisy, which is probably the biggest of all demons. The name Christian is a very demon-attracting name. When I deal with these demons, I find that if a demon can kill a few Christians, the reward in Satan's kingdom is very great. On the road of battling demons, we must learn an important lesson, which is to learn the ways of Jesus.

Many Christians, upon hearing about driving out demons, immediately label it as Pentecostal. But Chinese Mingding Destiny is a theology of driving out demons. How do we drive out demons? It starts with emulating Jesus, with the desire to be like Him. So, day and night, we think about how to be like Jesus, and step by step, we become more and more like Him.

When I first started learning to emulate Jesus, some people laughed at me: You, of all people, trying to learn from Jesus? From Paul? I may not be much, but am I not learning? I am trying very hard to learn. I am like a very small apprentice in a martial arts school, learning from a master. Many people here are learning, but I am diligently emulating Jesus, and the most important thing is learning how to drive out demons.

Because the name Christian attracts demons, what do you do when the demons come? If you say you don't drive them out and want to be comfortable, you cannot be comfortable. Because the demons don't want you to be comfortable, and God doesn't want you to be comfortable either. There is no choice but to diligently learn the ways of Jesus.

I have been pondering today's topic for a long time. At first, I wanted to talk about worshiping God in spirit and in truth, but I have talked about this topic before. Or about restoring the passion within us, but that didn't quite feel right either. In fact, every time we talk about restoring our emotions, it is quite difficult. Today, we encountered this obstacle again. Finally, I decided to focus on learning the ways of Jesus because restoring the image of God is the logic of salvation in Chinese Mingding Destiny.

The salvation we believe in is not about going to heaven or hell. The salvation we talk about is about restoring the glorious image of God when He created us while we are still alive because God originally created us in His own image. When I was preparing this topic, I thought about it over and over, and the topic kept changing, which was quite hard, but I was very happy and joyful. I thought it didn't matter if the topic changed back and forth, as long as the content within it didn't change.

I searched for my previous sermons and found one about passion that had a high number of views. Today, we continue to talk about learning the ways of Jesus. We can see that Jesus served with great passion. Although the Bible does not record it, upon careful consideration, it is indeed the case. Another thing is that Jesus was very authentic because Jesus actually wept at Lazarus' tomb.

The Jesus we see is a real Jesus. When Jesus arrived at the temple, He took a whip and drove out all those who were selling doves, oxen, and sheep, and exchanging money in the temple, overturning their tables, and scattering coins all over the ground. It was simply a burst of anger; Jesus was angry.

Jesus was also said to be a glutton and a drunkard, eating and drinking, and often with sinners and tax collectors. The Jesus we see is very interesting, living in a very authentic state. Later, when Jesus was ministering to a Samaritan woman, He said that worshiping this God is not in Jerusalem, not on this mountain, nor on that mountain, but worshiping our God in spirit and in truth, which is very interesting.

In fact, the most troublesome and God-angering thing in our lives is hypocrisy, playing with packaging. We pretend to be like Jesus all day long, but without the essence of Jesus. To learn the ways of Jesus, we must learn to the core, such as driving out demons like Jesus, which can make the blind see, the lame walk, lepers be cleansed, and the dead rise from the dead. The Pharisees cannot do this kind of ministry because they can package, but what is packaged in their bones? When you open it, it is exquisite packaging, and you see another layer that is still exquisite packaging, and when you open it again, it is still a layer of packaging. It is all packaging, and when you open it all up, it is just a glass ball, useless.

Therefore, Christians should not engage in this kind of layer upon layer of packaging, and then the thing inside is just a glass ball. In the past years of ministry, I have often encountered this kind of thing. Today, I give you a piece of advice: if you play with packaging with God, aren't you looking for death? It is Satan who is playing packaging with you. The biggest issue we drive out in demon expulsion is the problem of hypocrisy. So, we must learn the ways of Jesus, live out the essence of Jesus, and not learn the surface. Playing with packaging is hypocrisy and provokes God's wrath.

Learning the surface is useless; there are countless people who play fake. Do you know how Christians become Pharisees? It's because they love to play fake, which easily turns them into Pharisees; they play entirely on the surface. Why didn't Jesus deliver them? Because they cannot be delivered. Anyone can be delivered, but those who play fake cannot be delivered. When have you ever seen Jesus cast out the spirit of hypocrisy?

Today, let us carefully ponder the difference between playing real and playing fake. Yesterday, I had dinner with my co-workers and mentioned an issue: be authentic. Many people immediately objected. I was puzzled; what was there to object to? They said it was good to be real with the pastor, but it wouldn't work in this world! I was even more puzzled. Why should the church and the people in the world be treated differently? They raised a series of questions and added a sentence: If we follow what you say, there will probably be many questions in today's Q&A. I said I was prepared.

After some back-and-forth discussion, I finally convinced them: In this world, playing real is the best choice. Everyone slowly ponders this matter. Of course, the key point I want to make today is: Learn the ways of Jesus and serve God in spirit and in truth. It is very important for us to live out our authentic selves while we are alive. Some people live and live, and a pair of wings can grow out of their backs. Isn't this deadly?

Scripture

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30)

Why are people weary and burdened? Because people play fake all day long, and the burden becomes heavier and heavier. For example, people tell different things to different people every day, and they need to have a good memory because, in the end, they get confused themselves. And the listeners are puzzled: Isn't that what you told me last time? Because there are too many versions, how can they remember? They don't even know which one is true. People who play real live simply! If you play fake, isn't your life complicated? You create the burden yourself. Who told you not to learn the ways of Jesus?

Prayer

Lord Jesus, today I come before You, I want to lay down all my burdens, I also lay down all my worries and anxieties, and today I will learn Your ways, gentle and humble in heart. Lord Jesus, help me to find rest, release me today from weariness and heavy burdens, let me be a real person, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Scripture Background

This passage begins by saying that John the Baptist was arrested and put in prison. Jesus did not manage this matter. Then John the Baptist sent his disciples to ask Jesus, Are you the one we are waiting for, or should we expect someone else? John the Baptist thought Jesus would come to save him, but Jesus did not come. This confused John the Baptist, Are you not the one we are waiting for? Jesus didn't answer directly, saying, “Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.

By saying this, he was telling John the Baptist that He was indeed the one they were waiting for. The reason Jesus didn't save John the Baptist was that Jesus didn't care about what would happen to John in prison. Just stay in prison, it is the same if you die or live. Our ancestor Jacob's son Joseph spent three years in prison, didn't he? You have only been here for a few days and you’re already complaining!

Today, when we encounter a little trouble, we cry out to the Lord Jesus to save us, acting all nervous. What needs to be saved? I have so much pressure at work today! Why? Because you care too much about your work. What is your work anyway? It is not important. We are about to lose our job, come and save me! Some people start shaking their hands when they find out they are sick and immediately cry out to the Lord Jesus to come and help them.

I don’t mind serving you, but I still want to bring you out of the things that you care too much about, because it is meaningless for people to care too much about matters of life and death. People become confused when they care too much, like John the Baptist, people who are afraid of death and want to live. Why are people hypocritical? People live in the world and they are actually anxious. They can’t keep living if they don’t play it fake. Therefore, people often become confused because they are afraid of death and crave life. Jesus said that He doesn't even care about His own death, how could He care about your death, John? When one does not care to a certain degree, they become very free, they eat what they eat, drink what they drink, and enjoy what they enjoy.

Although I have not seen Jesus humming a little tune in the Bible, I guess Jesus lived very freely. We have to learn the ways of Jesus, for the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, so eat what you ought to eat and drink what you ought to drink. People cherish their own lives, they eat and drink. Jesus does not cherish his own life that much. Jesus also eats and drinks. Actually, eating and drinking are not important. But if you don’t eat or drink, you will eventually go to prison. It’s not good if you eat and drink again, and people are not honest. John did not eat and drink and was demon-possessed. When the Son of Man came, he ate and drank and was said to be a gluttonous drunkard. In the eyes of these picky people, nothing you do is right. But while Jesus ate and drank, He also did another thing:

The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.(Matthew 11:5-6)

Actually, what is Jesus talking about? People have to live a very authentic life, and our bones must have this essence, to make the blind see, the lame walk, those who have leprosy be cleansed, and the deaf hear and the dead rise again. But if you don’t enjoy your life and you do things like an ascetic, looking sad and frowning every day. When you fast and pray, you are disheveled. Is this the way of Jesus? This is not it. Jesus does not like this, and God does not like it either. So we need to understand the background of this chapter now, which is about people living a very authentic life.

At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do. (Matthew 11:25-26)

Why? Because people make living a matter that is too complicated, which becomes more and more complicated, and then they put all the heavy burden on their bodies. One time, we exchanged one million into cash and packed it into several pockets. Before we deposited it into the bank, it was really heavy burden. A few of us were carrying it like we had small sacks on our backs. I have never experienced anything so difficult. That was only a million RMB! If it's a lot of money, wouldn’t it make things more difficult for me? I said, I tried it today. Living is a very simple thing, so don’t complicate things. But many times, people have to complicate things.

A sister said: You have to do something at a certain age, so she got married in her 20s and thanked God for giving her a good husband. More than 10 years later, she has 3 children, and there are so many problems. Her husband loves to play video games, and one of the 3 children has a disease and another one also has a disease. It’s hard! Originally, she wanted to solve the problem of living, but the problem of living has become more complicated. She saw her childhood sweetheart, she did not have a husband, no children, and not that many problems. When she is full, her whole family is not hungry, and she serves God happily. She is so envious! She can’t put her children back into her womb, and they are human beings. When they wake up, they need to eat and they get sick; it’s so troublesome!

But it doesn’t matter, people who are weary and burdened must come before God, and God will give you rest. The reason you are weary is because you care too much about those matters of living, so you must learn the ways of Jesus. What should we learn from the ways of Jesus? We must learn about the inside and the outside. Do not care about matters of life and death. Living is a very simple thing, so don’t complicate things.

Serve God in Spirit and in Truth

We have talked a lot about the way Jesus Christ casts out demons. Today, let's talk about Jesus worshiping God in spirit and in truth. He set a very good example for us. He not only teaches others how to serve God in spirit and in truth, but He Himself also serves God in spirit and in truth.

The Gospel of John records an incident in which Jesus passed through Samaria and was hungry, so He sent His disciples to get food. A Samaritan woman came out with a bucket to draw water from the well. Usually, people draw water after the sun sets or before the sun rises, but this Samaritan woman comes out to draw water at noon, why? Because no one draws water at this time.

This Samaritan woman acts a lot like me. I don’t like eating at noon. I like to eat when people don’t eat, and I don’t eat when people are eating. I choose to avoid times of congestion and use the time to work. If the roads are congested, I will not go out. When it is not congested, I will drive out. I offset with people. This Samaritan woman is also offsetting because she has a reason that is difficult to talk about.

Jesus struck up a conversation with her, asking her to give Him water to drink. The woman said, How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman? Jesus said, “If you knew who I was, you would ask me for water. You will not thirst if you drink my water.” The Samaritan woman discussed God with Jesus, and Jesus told her to call her husband. The woman said she had no husband. Jesus, not knowing which pot to lift, said: This is not your husband, you have already had 5 husbands. If this is not her husband, then what could it be? that would be a concubine.

Obviously, this Samaritan woman lived in emptiness and chaos. Who has 5 husbands? She should have a strong sexual desire. The woman did not think this was a good thing to show off, so when Jesus said it, the woman knew that this was a prophet. No one knew about her situation, but He could tell what was inside her. The woman was immediately conquered.

On the issue of worshiping God, Jesus spoke about doing so in spirit and in truth. Is it not intriguing that He discussed spirit and truth with a woman who had five lovers? This woman was genuine. I do not desire for you to become a Samaritan woman, but rather to be truthful. This woman's heart was exceedingly empty and distressed. She could not find the path to worshiping God and did not know what to live for. Hence, she sought five husbands, and even her current husband was not truly hers. What a mess! Yet, she lived authentically.

Brothers and sisters, know that this Samaritan woman was unbelievably licentious, to an unimaginable extent. However, Jesus told her that to worship God, one must do so in spirit and in truth. Do not play games. Even in this woman's state, she needed to face God truthfully, and He would save her. But if you play games with God, hypocritically engaging in shameful acts behind the scenes, what then?

Last year, a very prominent pastor passed away. He had established a vast church organization. Subsequently, an investigative committee looked into this pastor, even while he was alive, due to numerous complaints. After their investigation, they released their findings: the renowned pastor had over two hundred nude photographs of women on his phone, many of whom were members of his church. Can you imagine? Many were astounded. Numerous photos were taken in 2019. How did this pastor become like this? Many will stumble because of this incident, and they deserve to fall.

I recently received a plethora of messages from pastors discussing this event as a cautionary tale. I pondered how we could learn from this. It dawned on me that when people are not genuine and live under constant pressure, their character becomes twisted, and demons work in them. It becomes unclear whether their actions are driven by demons or themselves. Most people assume it is human nature. I tell you, a hypocrite controlled by demons cannot find freedom, and a dishonest person will live a very distorted life.

Many are perplexed: would he openly engage in these acts? In reality, he did not start with this incident. It was because he had been hypocritical in numerous matters before, gradually becoming enslaved until this day, utterly devoid of freedom. If we wish to address this, we must avoid hypocrisy in minor matters. If you are unwilling to change, you may continue to live behind a facade, filled with demons. How can one live well under layers of masks? Therefore, honesty is the best policy.

If you are late for work, do not tell your boss that the Singapore MRT broke down. Can one lie about the MRT breaking down when the news would reveal otherwise? Just tell your boss: I am sorry, I overslept. They cannot do much about it. We might as well tell the truth; it is better. One of our sisters, a teacher, called her head of department, saying she overslept and was late. The head of department scolded her, even though they have a very close and frank relationship. Our sister also has good relationships with her superiors because she is genuine.

Our emotions must not be repressed. If one's feelings cannot be released and one lives in hypocrisy, greater demons will control you. This is the spirit of the dragon. Through this sermon, we thoroughly strike the devil and the enemy, and you need not worry. God originally intended to save us, but He cannot save hypocrites. Even the Samaritan woman, with five husbands, sincerely acknowledged her problems before God and worshiped Him in spirit and in truth. This is the best choice and strategy. Therefore, we must emerge from hypocrisy and not be conceited.

Yesterday, during a debate with my colleague, I said that not only should we do so before God, but we should also face ourselves truthfully in this world. My example might be inappropriate, but please do not take it too seriously: Heshen was a corrupt official, but he was greatly favored by the Qianlong Emperor. Heshen was a very genuine person. Did you think he was being fake with the Emperor? No, he was being sincere. The Qianlong Emperor admired genuine people. Heshen was relaxed, at ease, and authentic in the Emperor's presence.

One day, the Qianlong Emperor told him: Pretend to be the Emperor and sit on my throne! Which official would dare to sit there? They would kneel and beg for forgiveness. But Heshen was very comical. He sat down, slammed the table, and said: Ji Xiaolan, kneel before me! The Qianlong Emperor enjoyed the performance because it was authentic.

I will not elaborate on Heshen's fate. My point is that we must begin to learn to be genuine people today. God can always save us. We must be genuine and not controlled by the spirit of the dragon, rejecting hypocrisy. Even if you are a Samaritan woman, you will gradually grow because only genuine people can continuously find release and growth before God. Today, let us shift our focus from what we care about and move forward on our path of growth, trusting that we will surely emerge, and God will help us restore the glorious image with which He created us. We must honestly face ourselves.

Our God is a God of salvation. Even if you are born blind, God can heal you. If you are born lame, God can heal you. But God cannot heal hypocrites. The spirit of the dragon is cunning, making people believe that they can survive through hypocrisy. However, only those who worship God in spirit and in truth can live. Therefore, let us learn this lesson, brothers and sisters, today. No matter how difficult or embarrassing, I want to be an honest person today, whether before God or before the pastor! If possible, be a genuine person in this world. Even if I have shortcomings, it does not matter, as long as I am genuine, God will surely save me.

I rarely argue with people, but occasionally I do. When someone says I misspoke, I do not argue. I may be wrong. I am bound to say the wrong thing sometimes. How could I be always right? Then, I learn the gentleness and humility of Jesus in my heart. Some say that those who claim to be humble are not humble. But I later discovered that those who claim to be humble are indeed humble because Jesus said He was humble.

Paul, Moses, and Samuel all said they were humble. Were they wrong? No, they spoke the truth. Do not think they are lying; they are telling the truth, and they live authentically. Therefore, let us begin to learn to be genuine people today, worshiping our God in spirit and in truth, so that He can bring salvation to us.

Let Our Emotions Also Be in Truth

You know, it is very hard when a person's emotions are suppressed for too long. In one country, the sex industry is very developed. Why? Because this country pays great attention to etiquette and is very repressed. When people are suppressed for too long, they have to find a way to release this repression. That's right, the sex industry is the solution. You say: why does the pastor always talk about this? I am saying that repression is not good! Jesus never suppressed Himself, and neither did the Apostle Paul. Once, Jesus entered the temple, made a whip of cords, and drove everyone out!

Some people are truly blessed to be whipped by Jesus. Why? Because they were doing business in the temple, exchanging money, selling sheep, selling doves, and selling sacrificial items. Did the Israelites need these services? Yes, they very much needed these services. These people were providing services there. Why did Jesus drive them out? Because they were earning money against their conscience! Israelites traveled a long distance, over a hundred kilometers, to Jerusalem to offer sacrifices. There were no high-speed trains or regular trains; they traveled on foot.

Would you rather lead a sheep or a cow to Jerusalem for sacrifice, or sell the cow or sheep locally and then come to Jerusalem to buy one for sacrifice? If you sold the cow locally and took the money to the temple, you could probably buy a dove! Or maybe a sheep! Or, if you sold a sheep and arrived at the temple, the money was only enough to buy a dove or a quail. Alas, the Israelites were struggling: either they brought the animals from afar, or they sold them and bought them again at the temple for sacrifice. It was really difficult.

How could these speculators enter the temple to do business? Because it became the best place to do business. Why? People have urgent needs. The demand was very strong. Could the high priest who managed the temple not make this money? As a result, the high priest was very powerful. He leased out these places. The high priest became a landlord collecting rent. Could Jesus not be angry when He saw this?

Because this was originally a temple for us to pray to our Father in heaven. Only by praying and offering sacrifices here could our problems be solved. But what happened? Problems were not solved; more problems were created. Many Israelites could not pray effectively because this place became a den of thieves. Was there any glory of god left? Certainly not.

The Lord who created the universe became flesh and turned into Jesus Christ, then came to His own temple, but they did not recognize Him. Jesus Christ uses power to confirm that He is the incarnation of the eternal God come into this world, full of grace and mercy. This place should have been the temple of God, but it became a place where demons lived and the temple was filled with hypocrites. Could Jesus not be angry when He saw this?

Today, I want to ask you, can Jesus' anger accomplish the righteousness of God? Yes! Because Jesus is God! But these high priests of Israel did not think so. Many people say that human anger cannot accomplish the righteousness of God. That is not always the case. If you are angry for your own sake, you cannot accomplish the righteousness of God. But if you are angry for the sake of the purity of the gospel of God, you can accomplish the righteousness of God.

When we see that the kingdom of God and the church of god are filled with these corrupt people! Some people will feel that it does not matter! They feel nothing at all. We must see through it and not care so much. But does Jesus care? Jesus does care! So we should care too! The Apostle Paul cares too!

When Paul wrote the book of Galatians, he was full of passion! To the point of being angry and scolding others! At that time, the Israelites twisted the truth of the gospel in Paul's time and insisted on restoring the Law of Moses, which included circumcision. What is circumcision? It is an operation to cut the foreskin on a man's genitals. As a result, they required Christians to be circumcised. The Apostle Paul was extremely angry. In order to maintain the purity of the gospel, he tried his best to resist circumcision, saying: if anyone preached a gospel different from mine, let him be accursed!

Today we must begin to learn from Jesus and not be like those high priests, who are gentle and elegant on the surface then turn around and nail Jesus to the cross, and bring trouble. And for generations to be cursed! Today we must know that Jesus' emotions are very real. Jesus cried when He saw Lazarus' tomb. He had tears and anger, He then ate and drank. Jesus is very real.

But today, many Christians, as they live, kill all their emotions. It's not just that they kill their emotions, its like that exposed big-name pastor who died in 2020 and was still collecting those nude photos in 2019. Alas! I sigh! If people do not worship God in spirit and in truth, emotions cannot be released normally. When people's emotions live in repression, they will secretly do bad things. Some people say, we can't do bad things in public, can we?

Everyone must admit that doing bad things in public is better than doing bad things secretly! You say: anyway, they are all doing bad things, what's the difference? Because when you do it openly, God still has a chance to help you. You face these things honestly before God, without shirking or arguing for yourself, knowing that there are weaknesses on your body, and God can help you. Does the person who does this know it is embarrassing? Of course. Then why do they do it secretly? They just don't want to change! Because they are so used to being hypocritical, that's the way they become. So we must know that being real is better than anything else.

Once I invited a Christian to dinner, and he drove his whole family for many hours to come to me. I said: come, open a bottle of wine! It was freezing cold at the time, so wouldn't it be normal to open a bottle of wine? He said, that's not okay, I can't drink alcohol. I said: why can't you drink alcohol? The bible did not prohibit drinking alcohol? Jesus was also a drinker? Alcohol is not a bad thing? It's okay to drink a little wine with people? As soon as I say this, many people may challenge me again, but I don't drink much and I don't like to drink, but I don't want to spoil the fun of my guests. Just drink a little bit! Just don't get drunk!

So, being a person with a real disposition is having God's disposition! What do you think God's disposition is? It is the real disposition of Jesus Christ. When we get to Matthew chapter 12, we will talk about how Jesus and His disciples passed through the grain fields, and then plucked the ears of grain and ate them, and the Pharisees saw that! That's not okay! Between the lines, you will see that the Pharisees and Jesus Christ are two completely different people. Jesus Christ lives in reality, and we know that God likes people's reality and hates hypocrisy.

If you are a hypocrite, then God is the one who hates you the most. It is impossible and there is no way for you to serve this God. You may do a good job on the surface, but your packaging is just a transparent piece of paper in front of God, and the package inside is just a glass ball, not a diamond at all. If we live in the power of Jesus Christ, we will have real emotions toward God, and we will love God with all our heart, soul, and strength, becoming crazy for God's sake, loving God to the extreme, like being madly in love with God, and our emotions will come alive again in Jesus Christ, and we will be released from repression.

Summary

We are the weary and burdened in this world so today we should learn from Jesus! Coming to Jesus Christ must be in spirit and in truth and our emotions need to be restored in Jesus Christ. Suppressing are emotions is not God's will. God originally created man to have emotions. If we want to live a little easier today, then let us begin to live out our true selves in Jesus Christ, let our emotions re-stretch, and be happy and joyful, no matter what we do, because happiness is god's gift to us, so let's eat our meals and do our work happily today.

Whatever you do, do it as if you are doing it for God. Wherever you are, remember God's good will for us. Do not live as a living dead person, but live as a living person with a soul. A living person with a soul will have very keen feelings and a very enjoyable state. Emotions should be very rich. Weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice; it is a real situation and is in obedience to god's will. From the perspective of god's will, re-examine the state of our lives and learn the appearance of jesus' real emotions. May God's grace and mercy poured out on us abundantly.

If what we care about is what God cares about, God will save us, restore our emotions, and restore our inner freedom, forever. Let us be filled with great joy because of Jesus Christ and the spirit of God, and be full of enthusiasm in whatever we do. Today, let us rejoice and look forward to the day when our bodies are redeemed, rejoice and look forward to our emotions being restored by God's spirit, becoming a person who is emotionally free and full of wisdom from God.

The Lord Jesus said that a wise child has wisdom. When we are in freedom, when we inherit the glory of his freedom in Jesus Christ, you will see God perform miracles through your hands: let the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers cleansed, the deaf hear, and The dead are resurrected. The gospel you preach is no longer the gospel of a dead man, but the gospel of a living man. May God's glory be manifested more through you, in the name of Jesus Christ. May God bless everyone!
