Longing to Live Out God's Glorious Image
Brothers and sisters, good day. Today is an exhilarating day. Why is it exhilarating? Because starting today, for the next two weeks, we will be leading everyone to re-examine the truth of Jesus Christ that sets us free, that liberates us.
Today I want to introduce this course, which consists of 8 lectures, 8 evenings. This Tuesday to this Friday; next Tuesday to next Friday, these 8 evenings we will talk about how to attain liberation. A total of 8 lectures, with 8 topics.
I have a small request, whether we are present on site or listening online, synchronously or listening to the recording on the website, I encourage you to take notes. Why take notes? You have to go back to the Bible and see if what I say is true or not. If I am talking nonsense, you don't have to listen. But if you take notes and go back to examine the Bible, and what I say is really what the Bible says, you don't have to listen to others talking nonsense. What others say that cannot be found in the Bible is nonsense. The most important thing is that it conforms to the Bible.
Chinese Mingding Doctrine is a theological system that highly reveres the Bible and integrates all the words in the Bible to summarize a systematic understanding of the word of God. These beliefs in Jesus Christ in the past, at least what I believed in the church, what the local church believed in, I would see a very obvious phenomenon, that there is no system.
Why do I encourage everyone to take notes? If you are really seeking healing and deliverance, I think you should be able to pay this price. Since we find doctors, go to the hospital, spend money and go through all the trouble, registering, having surgery, taking medicine, going back and forth, you pay these prices. If you pay these prices, the price of taking notes should be affordable. If you are not even willing to pay the price of taking notes, I think your attitude towards seeking healing and deliverance should be adjusted a bit. You know that those who sought healing and deliverance from Jesus Christ back then came from afar to find Jesus, followed Jesus. No matter how far, they brought their patients to find Jesus. So today I have a small request, which is to take notes, and then see if what I say is true or not.
After I finish speaking today, if you have taken notes and have confusion, I will interact with everyone on site today, and you can send your doubts to me. That is to say, for the next hour and a half, we will be doing this.
Today’s topic is Longing to Live Out God's Glorious Image, everyone write down the topic. Prepare your notebooks and pens. You get excited when you hear this topic, right? I can live out God's glorious image! Some people, theologians, pastors, Christians, these people, they will say to you, Who are you? How can you live out God's glorious image? This is not in accordance with the Bible! God created us according to His glorious image in the first place, I don't think we should believe that kind of talk today, because that kind of talk doesn't help you at all.
I once saw a person cry for 10 years. Why? Because her child had intellectual disabilities, could not do arithmetic, and often said nonsense like two plus three equals eight and three plus two equals seven. I ask you, an 18-year-old child goes out to buy a bottle of water. People say, give me the money. This child takes out all the money from his pocket and lets people pick it up. They take as much as they want, and he can't count at all. How hard must the mother work? I tell you, it is very hard to see such a situation! I said, this situation is definitely not the image of God. Later you know what? Under the ministry of me and our brothers and sisters, not only did two plus three equal five, but twenty plus thirty equaled fifty, and two hundred plus three hundred could also equal five hundred.
Brothers and sisters, do you know? The effect of healing and deliverance exceeds our imagination, so later this child was able to go to work, to work, to do things. But we still give people the freedom to choose whether they want to follow Jesus. But this mother doesn't have to cry anymore, this mother began to happily experience the God we are talking about. The God she experienced is the one who sets the captives free and liberates the oppressed.
So are you excited today? Many more people will be delivered. There are many of us who have signed up, this disease and that disease, but you can see on our leaflets that children with intellectual disabilities, learning difficulties, and autism can be brought, and we will pray for their deliverance. Is it a difficult thing? It is a difficult thing. Is it not a difficult thing? It is also not a difficult thing. So why is it not difficult? Because nothing is too difficult for our God.
What we are doing today is hoping that everyone can live out the glorious image that God originally created us to be. If someone says, You can't, you are just like this! I tell you, don't believe him, because what he is releasing is something that makes people despair. So brothers and sisters, the most important goal of our course is to make those of us who are already normal become smarter; those who are not so normal can become normal. This is the goal we have been pursuing all along, which immediately involves our belief system.
So what exactly is our belief system? What do we believe in? Because of this, in the past few years I have wanted to overcome and solve these problems. Because when I think of Jesus standing next to this person, a touch from Him, and this child would be healed. A touch would heal, but today many people can't touch Him, and they talk nonsense. In the past few years, I have ministered to batch after batch, and later I found that many problems are related to ghosts.
For example, there is a sister who is now a middle school teacher, and she can't even lose sleep, living a good life every day, talking and laughing. Before, she had severe depression and couldn't sleep. All day long she saw this and saw that, scared to death, and then she called everywhere, and when many churches heard about her problem, they didn't care. Because they can't solve their own church's problems, and another one won't be solved either. She called the churches one by one, and then she called me. This time I took it seriously and spent 3 months driving out the ghosts in her.
I think, what is this problem? Is this a problem of depression, or a problem of ghosts? What we need to solve today is what exactly is the theological problem? What do we believe in? For example, what exactly is the gospel of Jesus Christ, the salvation of Jesus Christ?
A few days ago, a woman with a bleeding disorder, our brothers and sisters ministered to her, and her bleeding disorder was basically cured. Originally, she had been suffering from a bleeding disorder for many years, and you know that women's menstruation doesn't stop, and there is always more or less bleeding. When she came to us, she prayed and got much better. As a result, her local church came to her and invited her back. What did they say? Sister, don't delay your going to heaven because of your illness! If you believe this, even if your illness is healed, it may be heresy and affect your going to heaven. Look, we would rather have a bleeding disorder than affect our going to heaven.
What happened? What kind of gospel is this? I have never heard Jesus say that. Jesus came into the world, trained twelve disciples, and sent them to preach the gospel, heal the sick and cast out demons. Now I understand that preaching the gospel, healing the sick and casting out demons, because this gospel is the gospel of healing the sick and casting out demons! Who thinks it's good to be sick? Isn't it? Who likes to have a bleeding disorder and keep bleeding until death? You will become an old bleeder!
Today I think, you should know that when the woman with the bleeding disorder touched Jesus, she was healed, not that she got a bleeding disorder. It's not like that. What I want to say today is that if you want to live out God's glorious image, it's not a bleeding disorder. Can that go to heaven?
In recent years, I have been studying in depth how to get to heaven. They thought they could go to heaven with a bleeding disorder. But later when I looked carefully in the Bible, I really didn't see anyone with a bleeding disorder going to heaven. Brothers and sisters, you really have to be careful, I know you certainly haven't read the Bible as much as I have, but you can listen to what I say and examine it carefully. Today I will quote many Bible verses, what kind of gospel our gospel is, and what kind of people can go to heaven, I take this matter seriously!
I read in Genesis chapter 5 that there was a man named Enoch who walked with God on earth and was later taken by God. That was walking with God on earth. If you read the Bible and look carefully, it's incredible! Those who walk with God return to God; we don't know where those who don't walk with God go. Has it become believe in Jesus and you will have eternal life in the New Testament? I ask you, what does believing in Jesus mean? What is the gospel that Jesus preached? They don't even know. The gospel that Jesus preached is to preach the gospel, heal the sick and cast out demons. That is to say, what we need to solve today is really numerous, and what can really solve the problem is healing the sick and casting out demons, it is casting out demons.
Next, how can I explain this matter clearly? Give me a chance to try my best to explain this clearly. Walking with God is mentioned in both the Old and New Testaments. So brothers and sisters, you begin to know that the gospel that Jesus preached is very interesting. He trained twelve disciples to go out to preach the gospel, heal the sick and cast out demons. What do the people who are trained today do? Later people said, Maybe not! Later I found that Jesus trained seventy disciples to go out to preach the gospel, heal the sick and cast out demons. Later there was no third group, but Jesus himself kept doing it and training disciples. So I ask you, what is Jesus training the third group to do? Preach the gospel, heal the sick and cast out demons.
Today, if you and I walk with God, what will we do? We will preach the gospel, heal the sick and cast out demons. Some people, I find it very strange, can cast out demons, can solve problems, can cure bleeding disorders, and they think it may be heresy; but those who can't cure bleeding disorders, they think it is orthodox. This ability to reverse black and white is really great, I am very, very surprised. So today when I am sharing with you, I don't want to offend these people, but there is no way not to offend these people. These people have the ability to push people into bondage, but they don't have the ability to liberate people from bondage.
Today, let's start by letting our brothers and sisters go back to Genesis. I want to give everyone a concept today, reading the first chapter is very important. No matter what book you read, for example, Human Resource Management on my desk, the first chapter of this book is called the overview. When you read the overview, it explains everything behind it to you, and then it goes chapter by chapter. Many people don't like to read the overview, but I like the overview. Because the overview makes me understand it all at once. For example, when you read Sun Tzu's Art of War, the first chapter of Sun Tzu's Art of War is very important.
We must all have a concept that Genesis is the foundation of the entire Bible! The theme of Genesis chapter one is in the twenty-seventh verse of this chapter, we were created in God's image. You know, in recent years I have been very interested in this spiritual realm. Later I found that there are angels and God in heaven. And the people on earth are created in God's image, and the pigs, cows, dogs, horses, crabs, and prawns on earth are created in the image of angels. What is in heaven is also on earth! There is a God in heaven, and there is this person on earth, and man has the image of God.
This is good, why? I tell you, no one has ever examined Genesis chapter one like I have, Genesis chapter one is the most important foundation of Chinese Mingding Doctrine. Originally, there is a very important thing for us to come into this world, that is, to be able to live out God's glorious image. Originally, God created us in His image, but people ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and lost God's image, so some people live neither human nor ghost-like, like Cain and Lamech.
Our brothers and sisters must know that you and I are created in God's image, so I ask you what is salvation? Salvation is so that we can rely on God in this world, because of our faith in God, and rely on the power of the Holy Spirit to live out God's glorious image. A few days ago I gave a sermon called Great hope because of the power of the Holy Spirit. The gospel we believe in was originally a powerful gospel, but today it has become a gospel without power, and then we live out that neither human nor ghost-like appearance.
In fact, sometimes people don't live out the appearance of Jesus, but a bit like a senior monk. This person may have made a mistake, and read the Bible as a Buddhist scripture. So this is very interesting, turning the powerful gospel into a powerless one, but it has become orthodox, isn't this strange? Believing in the gospel that was originally able to heal the sick and cast out demons and turning it into a gospel that cannot heal the sick and cast out demons, saying that the gospel of healing the sick and casting out demons is heresy.
So we must know that the first chapter of Genesis is that we are created in God's glorious image. What is salvation? It is that we lost God's glorious image, and Jesus brought this salvation into our midst, because he completely offered himself to accomplish a salvation, to release us from the dominion of the devil, and to restore the glorious image that God created us to be. What an exciting thing! Originally I could live out God's glorious image!
When you enter someone's home and find it in disarray, with garbage everywhere and plastic bags hanging from the windows, it is certainly not a reflection of God's image. This is because our God is very organized, each thing according to its kind. If you are not a person who does things according to their kind, that is a real problem. Yesterday, a pastor told me about a young woman he was ministering to, who would just stuff her worn underwear and underpants in a pile. The next day, she would do the same. After more than a week, when she ran out of clean ones, she would put on the ones she had worn the previous week. Can you imagine how she could avoid getting sick?
Our church trains everyone to be well-organized in their work. Being as lazy as a pig and living in a pigsty is the image of Zhu Bajie (Pigsy), not the image of God. The image of God is so wonderful; the true God is clean and holy. But when people are dominated by demons, they cannot stay clean. Genesis chapter one tells us that we are created in God's image, but Jesus came to restore this. This is salvation.
What do people do after they restore the glory of God's image? God has a wonderful purpose for people, which is to be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and govern it, and also to manage the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all living creatures that move on the ground. God did not create people to be in heaven and manage heavenly things, because heaven does not need people to manage it!
What is management? Managing your home in an orderly fashion and keeping it clean is called management. If you are the general manager of a five-star hotel, you manage the hotel in an orderly fashion, and people know it is a five-star hotel as soon as they walk in. If you walk into a five-star hotel and it looks like a junkyard, then it is certainly not well-managed. Our brothers and sisters must know that you and I were created to manage, not to sit idle, waiting to go to heaven. What are you going to do in heaven? Shout hallelujah until you are hoarse? God does not need that, because the Bible does not say so.
The Gospel is the foundation of the entire Bible, starting from Genesis chapter one. In chapters three and four, people ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and lost the image of God. People began to have shame and fear. Recently, we suddenly realized something very interesting: the Bible always talks about the Spirit striving against the desires of the flesh. Later, I discovered that these desires can make people stupid; emotions can make people stupid. If you observe carefully, people who are dominated by desires often display very foolish behavior.
For example, how are these corrupt officials caught? Isn't it because they are having affairs with mistresses? One mistress leads to another, and then another. Then mistresses fight with each other and report the corrupt official. One high-ranking official, or the head of a state-owned enterprise, had more than a hundred mistresses. What is all that about? You need to realize that it is not a smart thing to do, so desires can make people stupid.
If someone has learning disabilities, autism, or other intellectual reading disorders, it is all related to these desires. Don't think that desires are just about male and female issues. In fact, gluttony and the seven emotions and six desires are all desires, including the lust of the eyes, the desires of the mouth, and the desires of the ears. If you see children who are foolish and chubby, having their aunties stuff things into their mouths, they cannot possibly study well. Eating a little bit here, eating a little bit there—how can they have time to study with all that going on? As they eat, they eat away the image of God. Some people have other seven emotions and six desires. As the saying goes, food and sex are human nature. But eating, drinking, and sex are not really the person's nature; they are desires.
Today, healing and deliverance are meant to free those who are oppressed by desires. After people are freed, they begin to restore the glorious image of God, becoming more and more like God, more and more like Jesus, more and more like the glorious appearance God created us to have. Today, I encourage everyone to have this hope—this is not a bad hope, but a very wonderful one.
I have never heard anyone say, Why haven't I gotten cancer yet? They always say, When can I live out the glorious image of God? When can I become more noble? When can I become very organized in my work? When can I manage a team? If someone cannot argue with you, they will say that these things are worldly and that you love the world. But in fact, these things are all manifestations of God's glorious image!
Don't get it wrong, everyone. Don't think that being poor is a good thing in God's eyes. Don't think that being sick is a good thing in God's eyes. Don't think that being dim-witted is a good thing in God's eyes. Don't think that being unable to do anything, doing everything in a mess, and being completely unsuccessful is a good thing in God's eyes, because our God is the God of the living.
I don't particularly agree with the idea of going to heaven, because I have searched the scriptures and cannot find those words. Did the apostle Paul ever say, It's okay, you will go to heaven when you die? There are no such words. Later, some people turned it into such a gospel. It is also strange that everyone reads the same Bible, but only one Teacher Liu has derived the Chinese Mingding Doctrine from it. What are the others doing? How does reading the Bible become about going to heaven? Jesus had already made it clear during his time that the dead can go to heaven. Our God is the God of the living, not the God of the dead.
How wonderful it would be to live out the glorious image of God while we are alive! We must start living with this hope. The sister who had the issue of blood was corrupted by this evil gospel. It's okay if you don't agree with what I'm saying. I will answer your questions later, but if you really don't agree, that's okay too. I won't force you with a gun. If something is good for you, I shouldn't need to convince you, right?
There was an old man in his eighties whose son died of cancer at the age of forty. It was very hard on him. I took him traveling, and I liked to keep talking to him. Then the old man said, Teacher, aren't the things you are saying all very good for me? Since they are good for me, why do you need to convince me? I thought he was truly an enlightened person. Today, I really hope that everyone can become enlightened people, so that they can live well while they are alive. How wonderful that would be!
If people live a subhuman life when they are alive, what are they going to do after they die? If you don't overcome while you are alive, can you go to heaven after you die? Many people don't seek this out properly. If you listen to my sermons often, you will hear me tell many stories. Once, I went to look at real estate, and there happened to be a real estate developer there who was a brother who loved the Lord. He invited me to dinner. I wasn't too polite—if he invited me to dinner, then I would just have dinner! During the meal, he asked me about a pastor who said, One out of a thousand people goes to heaven, and nine hundred and ninety-nine go to hell. Then he said, What do you think about this? I thought it was very interesting. If someone asked you this question, how would you answer it? I said, I haven't been to that place. I'm just telling you, I'm also just guessing. He said, Your answer is very honest.
Also, when someone is about to die, someone will say, Teacher, quickly lead him in prayer and send him to heaven! I don't have that ability. If I really had that ability, I would open a shop, hang up a sign, and guarantee passage to heaven. How great would that be! Then one person would send 100,000, and another person would send 100,000. That would be more expensive than buying a grave! If it turns out that he is not in heaven, he cannot come back to find me! Later, I thought that this would be deceiving people, and I cannot do that. Later, I said, My God is the God of the living. While I am alive, I want to live like my God! This is my pursuit, and I have biblical basis for it. I'm not just making it up. Being taken to God while walking with God on earth is certainly like that, but the Bible does not say where those who do not walk with God go after death. Therefore, the Chinese Mingding Doctrine is a theology of walking with God.
The Chinese Mingding Doctrine is a theology of walking with God, pursuing to be like Jesus. The Chinese Mingding Doctrine is a theology of overcoming, of disciplining oneself and bringing the body into subjection, of overcoming the desires of the flesh. It allows us to keep running towards the goal God has given us on this most holy faith, until one day we can come before God and boldly say, God, I have finished the race, I have completed the journey, I have fought the good fight, I have kept the faith. I long for that glorious crown. How wonderful it would be!
If you live a subhuman life while you are alive, what are you living for? Someone will say, Teacher Liu, I don't have any demands. When I get to heaven, I will just be a cleaner. I tell you, in the future, the robots that are invented will eliminate the need for all of that. Everything will be cleaned everywhere, so what cleaning will you do? It is very strange that people don't live well while they are alive. Brothers and sisters, today you must begin to know that God is the God of the living. These words are not my own, but those of Jesus Christ. Therefore, living like Jesus while we are alive is of utmost importance.
Today, we must not only receive deliverance, but also receive destiny and live like Jesus. If you are like Jesus, feeding five thousand people with five loaves of bread and two fish, you will never lack any good things in your life. This is the powerful gospel of Jesus Christ! Some pastors say, Don't go to work. Come to church and live a poor life with me, because living a poor life and going to heaven is better than living a rich life and going to hell! What they say seems very reasonable, but the way they live it out is terrible. They are penniless and have a body full of diseases!
I don't think my God is a poor God. I don't want to live a poor life, because my God is a rich God. Today we must change our theological system! People who cannot be healed cannot live out the image of God and cannot bless many people. How can they possibly live well? Today, brothers and sisters, once you have this hope, I encourage you to know the truth well and read the Bible well. If you don't understand it, you can ask me. Because over the past few years, I have worn out several Bibles. I have worn out English Bibles and Chinese Bibles, reading them, marking them up, and the insides are worn out, and the covers are worn out.
The truth can set people free. We must not talk nonsense. For example, the person with the issue of blood—I'm telling you that she never read the Bible, because she didn't know how to read. Actually, she wasn't very old, she just didn't know how to read. Later, I had her small group leader train her to read. The Bible says, This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth. If she doesn't know how to read, how can she read the Bible? I lamented that she had been in the church for many years, tormented by the issue of blood for so long, and no one taught her how to read, and they still thought she could go to heaven.
If one day you go to a place and see oil vats, with fried dough twists, fried breadsticks, and grilled mutton skewers sizzling with oil, and they take a large iron skewer and hang you up on it, then there is not much you can say at that point. No matter what, the pastor is not selling tickets to heaven, because what he says doesn't count. People who are ignorant are really in trouble. I once ministered to a 70-year-old and helped him learn to read the Bible. My mother didn't go to school for many years and was basically illiterate, but she can read the entire Bible. Thank the Lord, she learned some characters during her youth. Then she learned more characters from me. Later, my mother learned to use a computer. The old woman was over 80 years old and used a computer. I said I would buy her a phone for seniors, but she didn't want it. She wanted a smartphone, so I bought her a particularly good smartphone. Later, she became very good at watching Douyin on her phone. In fact, our faith is a very practical faith. We cannot live in ignorance while we are alive, because ignorant people cannot receive deliverance. Only the truth can set people free!
If people are ignorant, even if we deliver them, they will be bound again and attract demons. You need to know that I do healing and deliverance with a strong emphasis on the teaching of God's word. As soon as I release you, I will immediately teach you God's word, because the truth can set people free. Ignorance cannot set people free. Why are people oppressed? Because there is ignorance inside them. They believe whatever the demons say, believing everything, even things that are not God's word, even believing distorted things. What should we do? We need to make people smarter. So over the past years, in my work as a pastor, I have always longed to minister to people and make them smarter. The truth can make people smarter. If we know the truth of the Bible, we will be smart. Sometimes I am surprised by what I do. This is all God's grace, allowing me to serve God.

====输出开始
I spare no effort to teach a 17 or 18-year-old, even if he does not know that three plus five equals what. I teach him while helping him cast out demons. Eventually, I manage to teach him, and he begins to understand numbers. People who cannot count are easily deceived. Today, brothers and sisters, we must understand God's truth. Genesis is the foundation of the entire Bible. The first eleven chapters of Genesis are the foundation of Genesis. The first three chapters of Genesis are the foundation of the first eleven chapters of Genesis, and the first chapter of Genesis is the foundation of the first three chapters of Genesis. Therefore, we must diligently read the Bible. Why is the first chapter of Genesis so important? Because you have the glorious image of God. We have the glorious image of God, so we must never eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil again.
Adam and Eve were created in God's image. After taking a bite of the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they could not stop and became addicted, and the result was ruin. But today's Christians eat it by the basketful, which is incredibly foolish. Begin to understand that God wants you to live a prosperous life because God's intention for us is prosperity. If you are the mother of a child with learning disabilities or intellectual disabilities, bring that child here to solve your problem. In the days to come, persevere. Our God can deliver our children from the dominion and corruption of the devil. Because our God not only gives us life but also allows us to live more abundantly, that is the truth.
I cannot convey all the truth in one breath, but I share these things to encourage everyone to return to the Bible once again. If people are going to live anyway, they might as well truly live out God's glorious image, because that is truly living and increasingly resembling God's glory! I tell you, we are going to live anyway, but to live out God's glorious image is truly living.
Today, I was talking to a sister who is quite lazy and retreats when faced with difficulties. Does this sound familiar, as if it is also in ourselves? Then I called her, and I thank God. She is more like Jesus today than she was a few years ago, and we must be content. I told her that when we encounter obstacles in this place, we must drag, pull, kick, and shove each other to get through. Tie you to the wing of an airplane and take you to the glorious image of God. After speaking, I was also very happy. I told her that I know how to live. Do you all know that I know how to live? Why? I enjoy encountering difficulties, and I enjoy not encountering difficulties. I enjoy every day. Some people suffer when they encounter difficulties, and they suffer when they do not encounter difficulties. Their lives are always filled with suffering. For example, they feel conflicted after watching television, and they feel conflicted when they see so many things to do. They feel conflicted whether they do things or not, whether they play or not. Can everyone understand this situation? If you can understand, I have good news for you. I can teach you how to live. I teach many things because I work quickly.
So do not worry today. I once preached a sermon, and they said, Do not preach this anymore, do not talk about how amazing you are, we are desperate. I asked, Why desperate? They said, You better not say this, we are not you, we are not like you, we are all losers, you should talk more about loser counterattacks. Talk about how rotten and terrible you were before, how you were a loser who counterattacked, that would be more encouraging. I stared at her for a long time and said, You are mistaken, I am not a loser who counterattacked, I am the one who enables losers to counterattack. I was not a loser to begin with, but later many losers counterattacked through me. I can fix 'two plus three equals eight,' and I can also fix 'two plus three equals seven.' Whether you cannot sleep or sleep too much, I can fix it. It is because I deeply understand the word of God. I want to tell you that you are created in God's image, and you can truly live out God's glorious image. Begin to have this hope, because the truth of God says so. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we have great hope, that even in storms and raging waves, we can still be calm and secure, and we can still gain strength through God. Today, however we live in this world, whether suffering or comfortable, let us live more comfortably. Living like a loser is still living, and living out God's image is also living, so let us get this right. Implement it according to the word of God.
Today, we must have great hope. I thank the Apostle Paul in the Bible, who was a great scholar, a person who enabled losers to counterattack. He brought shame to those who were capable and wise, with those who were not very wise or capable. What wonderful gospel this is! Today, the words I speak and the message I preach are not based on wise and persuasive words but on the powerful demonstration of the Holy Spirit. I will show you. In the past few years, why did I create the Chinese Mingding Doctrine? It was because I felt anxious seeing people in bondage. I prayed to God every day, not because I myself was a loser praying there, but because I saw these people living in bondage, not knowing the word of God, not living out God's glory. I called on God to let me become their blessing. As a result, one person after another was transformed. Just like the people under Jack Ma said, We were not very good, but after following Jack Ma, we all attained a 'O'. What is a O? It means director. I said that I would give these people a O too, a chief executive officer. I saw these people in bondage and put in a lot of effort. I tutored those who did not study well, and I tutored those who did not know how to work. Thank God, although I was exhausted, I was happy! Every time I saw our brothers and sisters restore a bit of God's glorious image, I felt like I had eaten a Manchurian banquet. And when they restored another bit of God's glorious image, I ate another Manchurian banquet. Eating Manchurian banquets every day, what kind of life is this? It is such a good life, enjoying it every day like it is Chinese New Year. So I became a demon caster because only by destroying the demons can people be restored. Every time casting out demons, every time liberating, every time putting the truth in people's hearts, people restored a portion of the glorious image of God. We promote this healing and liberation conference to do this.
Why do we not live well? Because we live in the worldly logical system, eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, gratify the flesh, and love the world, resulting in being trapped by the devil layer upon layer. I want to let the word of God enter you, let the Spirit of God work in you, let you gain freedom, and then begin to build your belief system. Establish your inner confidence in God according to the words in the Bible, and establish your inner belief system that truly conforms to the teachings of the Bible. That is the Chinese Mingding Doctrine system. I dare not say that the Chinese Mingding Doctrine system has gotten everything right, but we will constantly strive to pursue, understand the spiritual world, understand God, and understand that the word of God is endless. We must be a striving person, and we can certainly come out of the loser state.
In the churches I know, we do the best in healing and liberation. We are not doing it alone, the people I train can also do it. Why do I want to do such activities? I long for you to come out of a state without God's glory and then gradually restore it to be like Jesus. This is what I pursue, no longer being deceived, no longer willingly accepting being dominated, no longer being afraid, no longer worrying, no longer being anxious. Begin to gradually break the devil's dominion, gradually recover lost ground, and gradually let the devil repay double for what he has stolen in the past years.
Some time ago, we were fighting the spirit of lust, and I am truly grateful to God. Last year, when I was ministering to a cancer patient, there were two videos connected at the same time. On one side was a man in his fifties, naked, lying in bed with syphilis. When he got excited, he would take off his pants and be on the verge of death, unable to get out of bed. On the other side was a cancer patient who was also on the verge of death and unable to get out of bed. Later, the cancer was cured, but he went back to loving the world, and then he got into trouble again and was captured by the demon which was a tragedy. That is why I want to put the truth in people's hearts. More than a year has passed, and this person who was dominated, after a year of struggle, suddenly got better in the last week or two. His sister, who is among us, would see him take off his clothes every time she visited her brother. I gave her an idea: if he takes off his clothes again, take out the scissors. Now it is all good. Will he do it again? Yes. Will the demon come again? Yes. But it does not matter, whenever the demon comes, we will destroy it.
Today, let us clean up again, identify what we have corrected and what we have done wrong, and begin to be strong. No matter what the cost, we must break through and live out God's glorious image. Because it is not you who are powerful, it is God who is powerful. God is releasing the captives and the oppressed in this generation through our Chinese Mingding Doctrine and the brothers and sisters we have trained, just as Jesus said in Isaiah, To proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners. No matter what the situation, persist until victory because this victory was bought for us by the precious blood of the Lord Jesus. The Lord Jesus has shed His precious blood for us, for our victory, and for our resurrection from the dead. Today, let the power of the Lord Jesus' resurrection manifest in each of us. This is our gospel: no longer accepting helplessly, no longer believing lies, no longer being dominated helplessly.
God is building a mighty army among us to trample on the devil, our enemy, in the spiritual world. Today, our preaching of the gospel is like that of the twelve disciples and seventy disciples in the years of Jesus, preaching the gospel of healing the sick and casting out demons. Wherever we cast out demons in the Spirit of God, the kingdom of God will descend upon us. Lies can no longer stand. No matter which church it comes from, any teaching that does not conform to the Bible, that cannot make us like Jesus, that cannot enable us to live out God's glory, is useless no matter how reasonable it may seem, and we will put it aside.
I ask you, is one plus one equals two correct? Yes. But if I just stay at home and solve one plus one equals two when I do not have a job, can I get a job? No, what is the use of being correct? But the God I believe in is a God who performs miracles. When I was completely in the dark and had no hope, my God guided me out. When I could not survive and needed a job, He was there waiting for me when I needed Him most. Today, begin to ignite deep desires, let our hearts be touched by God, and soften. No longer be self-righteous, the word of God is the truth.
What outcome do I hope to achieve? That the faint hope within us will be rekindled, and the faint faith within us will be rekindled. When our tears have dried in the past, let us shed tears of gratitude again before God. Our God has been waiting for us there for a long time. Today, when desperate people come to God, Jesus will say, Your faith has saved you. It is our inner faith in God that allows us to be saved once again. I know you may still have weaknesses, but it is okay, we all have weaknesses. It is not that we do well enough for God to save us. God does not save us according to our deeds, but God accomplishes according to what we believe. Then, experience God once, and experience God again, so that we will gradually trust our God more. That is our gospel.
Some people worry that it would be embarrassing if we got healed and then did not believe in the Lord. Do not worry, many people get healed and then do not believe in the Lord, and God does not come looking for you. Even those who nailed Jesus to the cross, Jesus did not go to their homes after His resurrection and say, I am Jesus, I am alive again, I am here to avenge myself! Jesus does not do that. Our God never forces people to accept Him. So today, we must have such faith. First, do not worry that someone will force you to pay money, and second, do not worry that someone will force you to believe in the Lord, nor do you need to worry that someone will make a cross and make you carry it to work. We just want to set you free. If you are discerning and have insight, willingly follow God. We have come this way, not because Jesus forced me to do this with a gun, but because we are willing. Because serving God is so good, what could be better than walking with God? I really know how to live, I live so happily and so well. If you admire it, you say that God has a wonderful plan for us and that God wants me to live a wonderful life. It is not just that being healed of illness is the end, the grace of God upon us is for a lifetime. Someone asked me, Is this the gospel of grace? How do you define the gospel of grace? The Chinese Mingding Doctrine is to receive grace, but because the love of God motivates us, we have a faith of paying the price, and I am willing to pay the price I can for God. God will not deprive you of your choice, remember that God does not force people, so you can completely let go of your worries.
God bless everyone!
