Bible Study:

Introduction: Learning to Dedicate Time to God

Good day to all of you! I am very pleased to meet everyone online again, whether you are online or on-site, let us all study Leviticus together. Over the past period, as we studied Leviticus, we discovered that it is a very good book, closely related to healing and deliverance. Where do people's problems come from? People's problems all originate from disobeying God's word. Because people disobey God's word, they are subjected to curses and therefore cannot live well.

God in the Bible tells us to diligently observe and follow His word. But what exactly should we diligently observe and follow? This is quite a challenging matter. Today, let us look at Leviticus chapter 23, which mentions a very challenging issue. What is it? Jehovah God says: at this time you cannot work, at that time you cannot work, at this time you must hold a holy convocation, at that time you must hold a holy convocation. Ah! I find this matter very interesting.

Early in my faith, many years ago, I really sorted out what it means to be alive. What exactly is our life? Later I summarized it, see if you agree. Living is roughly: a large amount of time. If you live to eighty years old, how many days is that? Everyone, use a calculator, eighty times three hundred and sixty-five, roughly thirty thousand days.

Is thirty thousand days a lot of time? Actually, not so much, because half of the time is spent sleeping, some time is spent showering, and some time is spent going to the toilet, etc. Anyway, people spend a lot of time eating, drinking, defecating, and sleeping. There are not many really useful things. There's also the time when you are born without teeth and have to drink milk, usually for a year or two. There are also the days when you don't understand things, plus wasting some time after you understand things. If you say: there is no time. Where has your time gone? Everyone, think carefully? Isn't most of it wasted? So what exactly is life? Life is time! That is to say, being alive is just living a period of time, this time is life, and life is time!

So what exactly is Leviticus chapter 23 talking about? It is about letting us dedicate time to God. But this chapter also talks about offering food to God? Today we will ignore the part about offering food to God in this chapter, because I feel that I have already talked a lot about the matter of sacrifice foods in the previous chapters, and I think everyone should understand it. I will talk about dedicating time to God in this chapter, because this is the focus of this chapter.

I once met a person who said: Ah! I want to dedicate my life to God! I saw that this person never tithes. But he loves to shout: Ah! I want to dedicate my life to God! I said: Why don't you tithe? He said: I have already dedicated my life to God! I said: Then why don't you tithe? He said: What's mine is God's, and what's God's is mine? Look: he is very reasonable!

Later, I found that to test a person, you have to test two things. The first thing is money: we have a good relationship, right? Yes! We have a very good relationship. I said: Ah! Then lend me a hundred thousand dollars! He said: That's not possible! Ah! I just invested! I thought: even if you didn't invest, you wouldn't lend it to me. In fact, some people won't lend even if they have it. I thought: if you have it, you won't lend it to me, if you don't have it, I'll just see your poor look. If you only have a hundred dollars in your hand. I said: lend me a hundred dollars? You said: That's not possible! So this is how you test someone. They eat Ding Tai Fung buns, I said: give me one? That person said: That's not possible! Eating it in your stomach, is it the same as eating it in my stomach? Oh! My God! So this person is very interesting.

Seeing Through the Busyness of the World, Life is Just an Exam

The second thing is time, I said: give this time to God? People say: That's not possible! I said: Why not? People say: I'm busy! Later I really studied this busy, what does it mean to be busy? It is definitely not being idle, because he has a more important thing. For example: some people are busy playing computer games, busy reading romance novels, but have no time to worship God! Some people are busy with their work, busy with their projects, anyway, they are busy, when their time is up, they die! After death, there is no time to be busy, because after death, there is plenty of time, lying in the coffin, there is plenty of time.

So what does it mean to be busy? What does it mean to have no time? It means this thing is not important to you, everyone say is that right? You have 24 hours a day, I have 24 hours a day, how is it possible to have no time? Because the time is used elsewhere. Ah! Don't say: our God is very powerful. Actually, a person's life is an exam, what is the exam? It tests whether you trust God. I will tell you, I have summed it up, I will not change this matter even if I am beaten to death, I have to rely on God to live, why do I have to rely on God to live? I find that I can't do it myself, if I rely on myself, I can't beat anyone in the spiritual realm, not even the smallest ghost, the things in the spiritual realm determine the little things we live, if we don't rely on God, we can't live well, isn't this very troublesome? In fact, I knew a little about the spiritual realm when I was very young, and I believed in God and ghosts since I was a child.

You ask me why I believe this? I think it is very reasonable that this world has God and ghosts! Why? Those fortune tellers and shamans, the things they do are very mystical, so I am very emotional. But not everyone is like me. Why are you not like me? Because your comprehension is not clear. I didn't know God at that time, and I couldn't compete with the spiritual realm. Ah! That was bad luck! Drinking cold water would clog your teeth, you know? How bad was it? For example: going out, I open the door to go out, right? A piece of bird poop falling from the sky would fall on your head, ah! My God! Coming from the sky, it's bad luck! There are many unlucky people in this world! It's not that you want to be unlucky and you are unlucky, if you don't want to be unlucky, it still comes, it's not that this matter has to fall on me? What if it falls on you? Isn't it your fault?

God is a God Who Tests and Examines People's Hearts

Later, I summed it up, I have to find a God, you say I am very interesting? So, today I tell you, at that time I wanted to find the greatest God, I didn't want to find a small one, if I found a small one and encountered a big ghost, we couldn't handle it, would he protect me? It would be good if I didn't protect him, I can't protect him, and he can't protect me, then what am I doing? Right? In the end, just forget it! Drinking cold water would clog your teeth! It's really fatal! I thought I had to find the greatest God, later I found the greatest God.

Which God is the greatest? It seems that Jesus Christ is very great, at that time it was also a wild guess, so many religions, this religion, that religion, some people are this religion, that religion, it is better to have a good sleep. But at that time I felt that sleeping was not good, sleeping does not solve the problem, I went to find Jesus, I felt that Jesus was great. Why is Jesus great? This matter is very interesting, the Christian church tears down idols, he dares to move anything, whether it is a victorious church or an unsuccessful church, he dares to tear down idols, I said this thing is very powerful! He dares to move anything, I walked into the church, I began to know God.

After knowing God, I will brag to everyone again today, from that time I knew God, it was more than twenty years ago, I have not missed a single Sunday, can you believe it? I have not missed a single Sunday! What wind, rain, cold, fever, even if it is raining knives! Fortunately, it has not rained knives, I am saying this is the meaning of being dedicated to the Lord. Some people say how can you be so immoral! Afraid of infecting others, at that time it was okay, there was no SARS, no COVID, and gatherings were allowed, I have not missed a single Sunday gathering.

Nearly thirty years of time, how many weeks? Fifty-two weeks a year, three five fifteen, more than 1,500 days, I have not missed a single day, which is equivalent to three years of time, calculating full-time, taking out three years of time in more than twenty years, if I lead a Bible study or participate in a Bible study for a week, then the time taken out is even more.

In fact, time is life, life is time, I dedicate my life to God. But I keep my time for my own use, can you say that is dedicating my life to God? Many people often say: Ah! I want to give it to God first! They don't come on Sunday. Ah! I want to give it to God first! They don't come to Bible study. Ah! I want to give it to God first! They don't come to prayer meeting. What did they do? They went to make money. Therefore, dedicating life to God is very practical.

Our God tests us with two things, one is money, and the other is time. What is money? For example: the land that is planted, the things that grow out of the land are offered to God, does it touch your heart? It does, but smart people will make a choice, I want to dedicate my life to God, I want to dedicate my time to God, I want to dedicate my money to God, that's great! Everyone may not imagine that the money I have donated in the past few years, ordinary people may not earn so much money in their lifetime. Therefore, whether a person truly trusts God or falsely trusts God can be known by testing.

Why are some people so unlucky? They never offer to God, they always feel that they can handle the things in the spiritual realm, they always feel that they are powerful, but in fact they are not powerful, they are always against God, can you beat Him? You can beat God, you are great! Later, I also made a very clever decision, everyone listen to my Bible study, listen to my preaching, I still have something in my bones, you will find that, what decision did I make? I found a rule, I dare to oppose anyone, but I don't dare to oppose God.

What God tells me to do, I quickly go and do it obediently. Then am I willing or not? In fact, whether I am willing or not, just do according to God's word, this one doing is very important! It is a blessing! Some people say I call you, you can't stand me, believe it or not, I will call you if you don't call me, let's compare, compare and you will be defeated. Why? Because I have time, I am very careful to observe and follow God's word!

Those Who Trust in God Will Not Lack

I want to carefully observe and follow God's word, I am very grateful to God, the brothers and sisters in our church have a characteristic, the time they put in is not a little bit! Our brothers and sisters participate in the Wednesday and Friday Bible studies and Sunday sermons, prayer meetings, and also participate in the 101 course, 102 ministry, and 003 ministry Bible study, various homework. Oh! My God! Some people wonder why coming to our Chinese Mingding Destiny seems like going to college?

This is not important, what is important is that people can become smarter, can solve the problems they encounter, and really solve the problems! Really! What is this called? This is called dedicating life to God. You say: is it good to dedicate to God? It is good! We dedicate our lives to God, does it delay anything? Let's all say something from the heart, does it delay anything? It doesn't delay anything! When it is time to make money, don't we still earn it? Everyone can tell the truth, after dedicating time to God, has the money earned increased a lot?

I have encountered some wonderful things: among our salespersons, ah! Working hard, working hard, there are no orders. But once they come back to serve God well, wow! Expelling demons desperately, expelling demons desperately, the next day orders come like snowflakes. Then the boss asked a sister with good performance to share, share how this sister's work is so good? What is the experience of good performance?

The sister waved her hand to the boss and said: Boss, I don't know how to share this matter. The boss was surprised, why can't you share? The sister spread her hands, because these are the orders I got through prayer! Ah! Prayer? The boss was even more dumbfounded, are you a person who communicates with the three realms? The sister's orders come from communicating with the three realms, how can she share it? The boss was confused and couldn't understand it!

In the early years, we only had one Sunday gathering, then there was another Bible study, then there was another Bible study, then there was another prayer meeting, gradually adding this meeting and that meeting, just like boiling a frog in warm water. In fact, it is not really boiling a frog in warm water, we are boiling blessings in warm water. Then I was very worried at the time, our brothers and sisters run to the church as soon as they get out of class and get off work, what if it delays their studies and work?

At that time, one of our sisters had to work during the day, and serve at night, and also studied a part-time university in the middle, and still ran to the church every day. After coming, she quickly did her homework, finished her homework and quickly served, finished serving and quickly went to university, soon she also graduated from university! In a blink of an eye, it has been many years since graduation, but some of the people who studied with her have not graduated yet. Why? Because they didn't dedicate time to God! At that time, I was really worried, don't delay your studies! Now I am not worried.

What are we doing now? We are grabbing! Grab everyone's time to God, this is called dedicating life to God. Is it worth it? It is worth it. How much trouble is saved? How many disasters are avoided? Saving money lost, and a lot of problems in life. You can slowly ponder this problem yourself, people work hard, work hard, and a disease comes, all the money is lost, what are you doing? People work and work and return to the original point, work and work and return to the original point.

It's not working! Your own tricks are not working! If you live long enough, I give you a suggestion, you examine whether this is the case? Anyway, I saw those who came to seek God, all lived very unlucky before. I came to seek God when I was living very unlucky. So we must know which end is worth it! Whether that end is worth it, or this end is worth it, it all depends on our arrangement of time. Anyway, I know very clearly that dedicating time to God is the most worthwhile choice.

In fact, in Leviticus chapter 23, I will briefly sort out the context for everyone, you may have read a general idea, that is to take out the time, don't say anything, to put it bluntly, dedicate it to God. For example: take out one day a week to gather, what do you do when you gather? Learn God's word, pray, gather to learn God's word, no work can be done. Then, on the fourteenth and fifteenth of the first month, the Passover must be observed, don't be confused by this word, Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, are actually the same meaning.

Just like our New Year's Eve is the thirtieth night, and the first day of the New Year is the new year, there are many names, but they are the same meaning. Take out the time, take out seven days at a time, no work can be done. Some people shout on this day that it is not possible, my house is being built, the house is half built, I can't stop, I can't do it! Then why do you have to wait until the New Year to work? What did you do before? What is this excuse? Don't you know that you have to dedicate time to God these days? So you have to stop the work, when the crops are ripe, you have to cut the first bundle of crops to offer to God, that is, give the first fruits to God.

When it comes to the Feast of Weeks? It is from the Passover, that is, the day of Jesus' last supper, called the night of the Passover, like our New Year's Eve. The next day Jesus was crucified, and the following is the Passover, so Jesus is also called the Passover lamb. The Feast of Weeks is fifty days after the Passover, if Jesus was on the eve of the Passover, crucified, died, was buried, and resurrected from the dead, then Jesus stayed in this world for more than forty days.

In these forty days, Jesus met with his disciples in Emmaus for a while, and met with them in Galilee for a while, and thus appeared to the disciples. So Good Friday and Easter are all around the Passover these days. Jesus stayed in the world for a total of forty days, and later ascended into the sky on the clouds in the sight of five hundred disciples, at that time it was not yet the Feast of Weeks.

Later, more than one hundred disciples hid in the Upper Room of Mark to pray, these hundred people prayed for almost ten days, that is, about ten days after Jesus ascended to heaven, what were they doing? That is, ask the Holy Spirit to fill me, the Holy Spirit to fill me, and the Holy Spirit to pour down. As a result, on the day of the Feast of Weeks, the Holy Spirit descended. The Feast of Weeks is to announce that there will be a holy convocation, everyone gathers together, in fact, gathering together is very spiritual, our God does this. So no laborious work can be done, this is the Feast of Weeks.

When it comes to the first month, that is, the Passover, the Israeli New Year is on the Passover. When it comes to July, the Day of Atonement must be observed, this is their July. When atoning for sins, you must afflict your souls, and no work can be done. If you work on this day, you will be cut off. Isn't this very fatal? After the Day of Atonement, July 15th, July 1st is the Feast of Trumpets, July 10th is the Day of Atonement, and July 15th is the Feast of Tabernacles.

At this time, the grains are all harvested, and everyone is rejoicing in tents, celebrating what? Celebrating the days when they came out of Egypt and lived in tents, living in tents for seven days to celebrate the day, which is similar to the Chinese May Day long holiday, National Day long holiday, Spring Festival long holiday, no work is done, no work can be done, this is a requirement given to them by God. This thing is very interesting, everyone gathers together in these festivals, there is time for speaking the Bible, and time for happy play, but no work can be done.

In Leviticus chapter 23, I have sorted out these festivals, the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread are like New Year's Eve and the first day of the New Year, after the Passover, fifty days later is the Feast of Weeks, a few months later is July, it is the Feast of Trumpets, still no laborious work can be done, July 10th is the Day of Atonement, and July 15th is the beginning of the Feast of Tabernacles. By the time of Esther and Mordecai, this was many years later, and there was an additional Purim holiday, which is another day of redemption for the Israelites.

Counting these festivals, there are still many festivals of redemption for the Israelites, this thing is still very interesting. Why

====输出开始
Why does the Bible speak of this? Because man has a flaw. Do you think that loving to work is a virtue? If you love to work, and even place work above God, considering it a virtue, if the purpose of your life is solely for work, then there is trouble. In fact, God is testing us, testing whether we see living as something that must rely on labor to sustain it. If you believe that you live by working, then live by working!

Among the nations I have seen, different nations have different characteristics, and we Chinese are very hardworking, very hardworking indeed! We Chinese rely on working to live. You see, when the Chinese arrive in a place, few people there can compete with us because we Chinese are diligent. But here's the problem: when we die, what can we boast of? A life lived in toil and sorrow. So some are born Chinese, but in their bones, they are not very Chinese, because they are lazy. But laziness is not a virtue, because God did not say that outside of festivals, people do not need to work. If people observe holy days during festivals, but are idle at other times, that is troublesome.

## Willingly and Joyfully Set Aside Time and Money as Holy

Why does God test us? The purpose is to see if we are willing to set aside time as holy. I thank God that He allows us to give offerings, not asking us to give 100%, leaving us with nothing, but rather asking us to give a tenth, plus other thanksgiving offerings, this and that offering, which amounts to no more than 20%. This is merely a test, testing whether we live by God or by ourselves, that is all.

Working is also for earning money, and to earn money, one must work. If people live by this, then no one can interfere with your working to earn money! Definitely not! But those of us who trust in God, in ordinary days, no one can interfere with our working. But in the time that God has set aside to worship Him, to trust in Him, to keep festivals to Him, to set aside time as holy, even work cannot interfere with this. It is about whether we have a good priority order.

We must know that priority order is very important. Some people only serve God when they have time, but I serve God even when I don't have time. Is that the same? It certainly is not. Some people only serve God when they have time. Once they get busy, they have no time. This is one type of person. There are some people, when they have time to serve God, they will attend gatherings on worship days. Once they get busy, for example, with a project or with work, that's it, they disappear.

So we see these people, they seem fine usually, because they are not busy. Anyway, they can't sleep at night, so they follow me in prayer. If they can't sleep at night, they come to me for entertainment, and I am the one being entertained. But the question is: when there is a real issue, it depends on their choice, and it becomes clear. So you can't tell when a person is free, because they are bored at home anyway, so they come to the meeting. But a person who is very busy, but still wants to take time out to serve, that is the real deal!

I'll tell you something worth boasting about: there was a time when my work had problems that were bound to happen and problems that shouldn't have happened, I was totally overwhelmed! Some people were surprised: you are so overwhelmed, shouldn't you work hard? Actually no, I served every day. It's not that I didn't want to do my job well, I did want to do it well, but now that I think about it, I'm glad God led me that way.

As a result, God's grace came upon me, and back then, I somehow lost my job, so I came to serve! Originally, I didn't want to serve like this, I always wanted to rely on work to support myself, and then set aside some time to serve, that was okay with me, I was willing. But man's plans are not God's plans. I can't win against God, so I gave up. I didn't argue with God, I did what He arranged. This story is long, it's not that I couldn't do it. Today, we see that this is God's wonderful arrangement, what I'm doing now is so good, much better than that.

## It is More Blessed to Give Than to Receive

What I'm trying to say is that even when I was very busy with work, if someone wanted me to lead them in prayer, I would definitely serve them. Although the church was not very victorious then, we did do healing and deliverance, and casting out demons was very powerful. One day, I was overwhelmed with work, and at noon, a student with depression came to me: Teacher! I can't go on, I can't go on, I can't go on. I said okay, I will lead you in prayer, I will serve you.

I took her to my conference room, I was quite bold, doing healing and deliverance in the conference room. I prayed for more than two hours, and she was healed. Then I had to work, so I quickly did my work. When her class was over, it was after four o'clock, I had just finished at two o'clock, and she came again after four o'clock. Oh my! My God! I hadn't finished my work yet, and I prayed with her again, praying until eight o'clock in the evening.

That was just the first day. The next day, she came again at noon, and we did it again. Oh my God! My heart was struggling. As a result, she went to class after she got better, but she came again in the evening. The third day, she came again at noon, and the third day, she came again in the evening. Oh my God! As a result, that night, I called and said I couldn't go home for dinner, I had a ministry here, I couldn't have dinner.

The other person said: When will this end? Because I was using the speakerphone at this time, and I didn't know that the person being ministered to was already around the corner of the elevator, coming to find me. I said on the phone: It doesn't matter, her deliverance is the end. So I continued to serve. This went on until eight or nine o'clock in the evening. As a result, that day, she was delivered, she was healed. I thought to myself, if she doesn't get better, when will this end? I also want to know when this will end! That's how I served.

But later, this sister really couldn't be said to have Mingding Destiny, she only lived for herself, so let her live for herself! I wish her good luck. But God gave me a great grace, and to this day, I see God with me, and God blesses everything I do. At that time, she heard me talking and said: Teacher, give up on me. I said: No, I won't give up. Today I will continue to lead you in prayer. When we prayed until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, she said: I understand, I must trust in my God. At that time, she was delivered, and her depression was healed.

Her depression was very scary. She always felt that someone was going to kill her, and sometimes she wanted to kill people. I thank God that I set aside my time as holy, because all my time belongs to God. I know that my God is my life. I came into this world, I have nothing else to do, I only have one thing to do, and that is to serve my God. I feel that serving my God is the greatest enjoyment.

## Serving Is The Greatest Reward

Today, it's hard for brothers and sisters to avoid deliverance when they meet me. It's really good for you to meet me! Because demons hear my name and their hearts melt. The demons are shouting: This guy is too persistent! What does that mean? It means that every time I kill a demon, every time I am victorious, I feel like I have eaten a full course meal, very enjoyable, very happy, simply ecstatic. So once this matter is in my hands, unless the person gives up, I am unlikely to give up.

Yesterday, I served a brother, and this brother is always busy, always busy! What is he busy with? Busy losing money. He likes this, his hobby is losing money. I don't know why he likes doing this. I like being busy making money, busy catching people like catching fish. Yesterday, I served him, and it was the real deal, I'm unlikely to give up.

Once, I attended a global conference in a large stadium, with many people inside. I went there and listened slowly and carefully! Oh my! The people on the stage were all high-profile pastors. As a result, someone handed up a note and asked those pastors, Do you have any personal hobbies? These two pastors were very interesting. One said: I love hunting. One said: I like to play with sports cars. Oh my God! These are all very expensive, very expensive games! I don't have time to do this!

My co-worker poked me next to me and asked me: Teacher, what is your hobby? I said: Guess. Co-worker: You love to serve! I said: That's right! I have to give you a reward! I just love to serve. Every time I drive out a demon, it is an enjoyment! So I think they think playing sports cars and hunting are high-end. I think I don't walk cars, I walk dragons, walk ghosts, and fight ghosts, just like catching big fish. Oh my! This fish is big! So I walked it, walked it, and walked it until the fish was tired, and then I caught it.

I'm not like that, I catch ghosts! Walking ghosts, I cackle, walking ghosts until they are tired, and then I catch them. What walking horses, walking dragons! I just like this, this is good for me! Why? Because I dedicate my time to God, just like I just told you, I dare to oppose anyone, but I dare not oppose my God. Some people dare to oppose anyone, but they dare to oppose God. That's really evil. I looked at it and said: What kind of brain is this? Where did this brain grow? I also find it strange.

Don't think that what I do is not good, in fact, what I do is a big business! Can you understand? Some people don't understand: Can this make money? This makes money very quickly! It's not that I love money, it's that money drills into me. For example: Old Ma, as soon as I defeated it, it said: Oh, I'm really unlucky to meet you! I said: That's not okay, you lost the battle, you have to pay back the money! It said: I will, I will pay back the money, I will drive an ox cart and send you gold and silver treasures.

See that? Why are many of our brothers and sisters blessed? It was fought out by fighting demons! So, the rewards for fighting demons are very high. I once gave a sermon called The Rewards of Casting Out Demons. The number of clicks was very high. It seems that everyone is very discerning. When everyone saw the two words rewards, wow! Their eyes lit up, but when they heard casting out demons, alas! Their eyes closed, and that's troublesome.

The rewards for casting out demons are very high. Brothers and sisters must know that we live by casting out demons. It really sends money. So some brothers and sisters think that our church has become rich because of his donations. In fact, it's not. This little bit of donation will not make the church rich, nor will it make me rich. As long as God sprinkles a little bit of His heavenly wisdom and blessings like dust on us, blessings will come upon us abundantly.

So today, we must have character when we cast out demons. What kind of character is that? I have time, I always have time. As long as I get involved with this demon, the demon's end will definitely be over. Oh, everyone has time? That's good! Let's start practicing with the demons. For example: in the past two weeks, from Monday to Friday, about one week, I led prayers every day, led this one, led that one, led that one, led this one, good! Enjoyable, very enjoyable, and the work efficiency is also high.

Today, let's say the opposite. What would happen if we took this time out to make money? You definitely can't earn more than someone who puts this time before God. Why? Because we put this time before God, whether it is serving God or keeping festivals to the Lord God, or putting the Sabbath before God, or setting aside the Lord's Day, we know that we live by God! We know that we live for God, and everything is centered on God. My God is the center of my life, the core of my interests! This is not difficult to understand, is it?

Christians must know that the things that are competed for in this world all come from God. The first is creativity: Our God is a creative God, and we are made in God's image. We have God's glorious image on us, and this glorious image is creation. Brothers and sisters, if you are a creative person, you have a new trick today and a new trick tomorrow. You are always creative. Aren't you very powerful? Isn't it?

Why do we have creativity? We have this ability because all wisdom comes from God. Then you are a wise person, a blessed person, a creative person. Then everything in this world depends on this, doesn't it? So blessings and curses, these two things, both come from God.

Today, whether you are old or young, you must be a creative person. How to create? Huh? There is a problem, solve it. Huh? There is a problem, solve it. Anyway, as long as you see a problem, you must solve the problem. Do you know what I was solving for a while? The outdoor unit of a brother's air conditioner was always leaking water, drip, drip, drip. I thought: how to solve the problem of dripping water? As a result, I solved it by using my brain.

How did I solve it? All by creativity! So creativity is good! Recently, we developed our own software. We wrote the second version. We finished writing the software in about two weeks. It would take the average person half a year to do it, wouldn't it? A lot of people running around, aren't they? A lot of extras, but not many people working, that's troublesome. So you see me working, when have I ever worked my butt off? No, I really haven't worked my butt off. Work all depends on God's grace, all depends on God's blessings.

So what are Christians competing for? They are competing for creativity. Christians are not competing for time. For example: I can't work six hours a day, I have to work eight hours. If eight hours is not enough, then I will work ten hours. If ten hours is not enough, then I will work twelve hours. If I don't sleep at all, where will I end up? I will end up in the hospital. So everyone must know that Christians are competing for efficiency, competing for creativity, competing for blessings. So today, it is so good for me to live a life centered on God!

In this world, God is with me, and when I leave this world, I will return to God. So Christians begin the glory of eternity in this world, and begin to offer themselves, their whole person, their whole heart, and their whole mind, completely and totally, in this world. Is it a loss? It is not a loss. But don't: Ah! I will offer my whole person, my whole heart, and my whole mind completely and totally. From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, I will observe holy days every day! That is not the teaching of the Bible. Why? Because they use observing holy days as a fig leaf for laziness, that is troublesome. Because we have kept these: Sabbath, Passover, Feast of Tabernacles, Day of Atonement, Feast of Trumpets, Pentecost, our work will not be done poorly, and we will do our work better than anyone else.

## Conclusion: Live Out God's Glory and Honor

A few days ago, a sister made me laugh so hard. She told me: Do you know there is a Longshan Zhao Zichang! I was fine, and I understood, it was Changshan Zhao Zilong. She also said that after being bitten by a snake for ten years, she was afraid of well ropes once... This is all upside down. But don't say, she still does a good job at work, and she is also a Chinese teacher. This teacher has taught many bad students who have reversed their fortunes, and as a result, their school wants to recommend her to become the most outstanding teacher in the country. It is very powerful to be recommended to participate in the election. People do not rely on human wisdom, but on God. As long as you love God, even if you have problems, you cannot stop God's blessings.

I have many testimonies to tell. There is a brother among us whose family members gave him the management of their houses for package rent. Recently, after a fight with demons, all the houses were rented out. You can see how good it is to set aside time as holy, and there will be blessings. If you don't set aside time as holy for God, for example: a rental house, a customer comes to see it and is not satisfied, a customer comes and is not satisfied; it takes too much time! For example: dating, you talk about a relationship and it doesn't work out, you talk about a relationship and it doesn't work out, doesn't it hurt your feelings? For example: doing business, you talk about one deal and it doesn't work out, you talk about one deal and it doesn't work out, time is wasted, and you are very busy. What's the use? There are no orders!

For example: we don't have many customers, but if one comes, we are successful with them, if one comes, we are successful with them, how good is that? This is high efficiency. Whether it is doing sales, renting out houses, or doing anything, without God's help, it is really difficult! Without God's blessings, it is very difficult to do anything. It is difficult for pastors to not carefully observe and follow God's words, and it is difficult without God's blessings.

A member comes and causes trouble, a member comes and causes trouble, and then another one comes and causes trouble. Oh my God! I'm so tired! My heart really aches! So it's too hard without blessings. Today, in the New Testament, I am wholeheartedly, fully, and completely dedicating myself to God for twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, dedicating myself to God for seven days a week multiplied by twenty-four hours a day, coming before God to pray, and reading the Bible. What is it? Nothing is delayed.

**However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” — the things God has prepared for those who love him— (1 Corinthians 2:9).**

Our lives belong to God, so as long as there is ministry, we will begin to minister, and the result is amazing, and the result is that we can live out God's glory. So this is God's good will. God's will is not for me to keep the festival. Please don't have your body in Cao Ying, but your heart in Han! You are keeping the festival, but your heart is in the world! That won't work! There are many people there following me in Bible study, but they are not actually studying the Bible at all, nor are they taking notes, but they are writing their sales plans! The problem is, why didn't you do it earlier? Didn't you know to write it earlier, but you have to write it at this time? What are people thinking about?

Our God is a God who examines people's hearts, and God will surely know whether you are a person who loves Him. If a person loves God, he will be willing to carefully observe and follow God's words, be willing to do according to God's arrangements, and be willing to please God. God will prepare for those who love Him: what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived! So today, brothers and sisters, begin to look forward to it. You are a person who loves God, that is, you make a choice to turn away from the state of loving the world, turn back to God, and tell God: God, I begin to choose to love you. I tell you, it's difficult not to experience God!

We must begin to hope to love God, from not loving God originally, to now making the decision to love God. We must begin with faith and lead to faith. I wish that our brothers and sisters would be blessed in their finances, blessed in their health, blessed in whatever you do in your work, and blessed in whatever you do with your hands. We must be serious with God, and we must not play games with God. If you play games with God, can you outsmart God? God sees you as transparent, and your innermost being is transparent before God. Right? So let us make the smartest decision, which is to set aside our time as holy and begin to live a blessed life.

May God bless everyone!
