Introduction
Good day to all! I am delighted to share a piece of very useful information with everyone online: Learning is the most important thing in life! Some time ago, something happened involving one of our sisters. At her workplace, a girl who started on the same day as her, the two of them just could not see eye to eye. This sister of ours was originally someone who could discern good from evil, but after undergoing constant molding among us, she was no longer easily able to discern good from evil. As a result, this colleague of hers kept sending harassing messages to the boss, complaining that she was not doing this right or that right—a typical act of discerning good from evil. Thank God, our sister did not do any of these things.
Based on my understanding of this sister of ours—though my judgment may err—if she had not been trained and molded among us, I believe she would have also engaged in discerning good from evil by sending messages to the boss attacking her colleague. But she did not do these things, and as a result, her performance kept rising. This sister's colleague, however, forgot that she should have focused on doing her work well. Tell me, what meaning is there in what she did? None whatsoever. Why did she do what she did? Because she did not study, and did not understand the laws of development of things. She acted purely on her innate nature. If people act purely on their innate nature, things will not turn out well.
Yesterday morning, I joined a prayer group, and there was a sister in the group who is in business. In the early days of reform and opening up in the 1990s, she rode the coattails of reform and opening up and made a lot of money in catering and tourism. I asked this sister where she was now. She said she had been hospitalized for high blood pressure. How did she get high blood pressure? Because she was recently evaluating a project, and the stress of whether or not to sign the contract was immense, and as a result, she ended up in the hospital. Fortunately, it was just high blood pressure, and it was brought under control. Some people, due to high stress, suffer from myocardial infarction or cerebral infarction—these things are very common.
Why do people end up like this? Because they do not understand the laws of living. What I am saying then, is that learning is the most important thing in life. What should we learn? We should learn how to live—this is the most important thing in learning. Some of our brothers and sisters, after constant adjusting, have tempered their tempers quite a bit, and have also changed their way of life considerably. There are some brothers and sisters whom I have spent a great deal of effort adjusting over the past few years. They originally had a severe case of discerning good from evil, and because they did not study or understand, and did not grasp the spiritual laws, they relied on their innate notions to live. As a result, they were back to square one at thirty, back to square one at forty, back to square one at fifty, and if things continued this way, they would be back to square one at sixty—and not only that, but they would also be heavily in debt.
It is truly agonizing when people do not understand how to live. Thank God, these people have finally been able to yield and learn about spiritual things. Stories like these are a dime a dozen among us. There is a sister who went out to work after finishing junior high school. After she started working, through a very serendipitous opportunity, she met us. We put in a lot of effort to train her. Originally, she was a waitress doing odd jobs in a restaurant, but later she became an e-commerce salesperson, and her performance was quite good.
One day, her boss wanted to promote one of these salespeople to be a business supervisor, and there were conditions such as having a university degree and having good performance. This sister then came to ask me: Teacher, should I participate in the competition? I said: Go ahead. She hesitated again and again: What if I don't have a university degree? I said: Don't worry about that, just go compete first. As a result, after three rounds of competition, she was finally selected. This sister had a colleague who had a university degree and had good performance, but in the end, she was not selected.
As a result, her colleague was very dissatisfied with the outcome of this competition, and went to her boss to reason: Why wasn't I selected? As a result, her boss gave her one sentence: It's true, you have a university degree and good performance, but I just don't like the look of you. Heavens, that was the end of it. Therefore, do not think that going to university is called learning. In fact, there are many things that one does not learn even after going to university. Although learning is important, learning how to live is the most important thing in a person's life. Our church is a place that advocates learning. Although it is a church, we talk about practical things, and do not engage in any mystical or superstitious practices.
You will learn something from whoever you follow. If you follow the common folk, you will be like a commoner. We have a neighbor who is Singaporean and has three children. He hired a domestic helper. The parents do not care much for the children. The domestic helper is the one who disciplines the children. As a result, these children, whether in the way they walk or speak, are almost like the domestic helper. Therefore, whoever a person is close to, that is who he will be like.
Brothers and sisters, if we are to learn today, let us learn from those who are superior, and not from those who are inferior. A few days ago, I received a video from one of my university classmates. After watching it, I forwarded it to my circle of friends and sent it to the people around me. This video was about a professor named Zhang Shuangnan, who is a scientist. In the video, he talks about why there are no Chinese names among modern scientists.
When we were in middle school, we often heard about scientists such as Joule and Newton—they were all foreigners, and there were no Chinese. Zhang Shuangnan studied at Tsinghua University, and then pursued graduate studies at Tsinghua University. After studying abroad and becoming a professor, he decided to return to China. Some people from science magazines interviewed him: Why are you doing so well abroad, but you want to come back? He said: China has five thousand years of history, but there is not a single Chinese person in modern scientific history. This is a very strange phenomenon. In the video, he explores why there are no Chinese names.
Actually, it is not strange that there are no Chinese names among modern scientists, because the philosophical ideas that Chinese people advocate, we call it
Buddhist-like”, which is a typical Chinese belief system. For example, the Chinese invented gunpowder, but it was used to set off fireworks for the emperor. Behind gunpowder are very complex chemical questions, but these questions were not further explored. It was merely used to set off fireworks and firecrackers, and that was considered good enough.
Recently, there was an entrepreneur, the father of a sister, who took a few photos of pious men and women worshiping idols, and attached a sentence: Are these people fools? He believes that these pious men and women are doing this because many people do things this way, and it is very reasonable, believing that doing so is very shrewd. This sister's father set up a pile of idols on the upper floor of his house to worship, and was a
worship friend” with the boss of a certain large enterprise. Later, the boss of this large enterprise was arrested and sent to prison. He had repeatedly said: I want to make my company one of the world's top 500 enterprises!
People asked him why he would turn his company into one of the world's top 500. He believed that the deities behind him would help his company become one of the world's top 500. Listen to these words—this is a typical portrayal of us Chinese people. This sister replied to her father: Are there any scientists among this group of pious men and women? There are no scientists. When Professor Zhang Shuangnan sees such photos and hears such remarks from an entrepreneur, he must feel very uncomfortable. Science and superstition have always been a point of contention in human history. A person taking the university entrance examination hopes that burning incense and worshiping will help them achieve good results. This sounds like a crooked way. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.
Some people are imprisoned after worshiping idols, and after being imprisoned, people label them as not being devout enough. This is also the case in the church environment. There are many unanswered prayers, and people also attach a label: not devout enough. In fact, this is a bad habit of not seeking a thorough understanding. These all belong to superstition. What we are discussing is that learning is the most important thing in life. We must learn what Professor Zhang Shuangnan talks about. He is right—we often do not seek a thorough understanding. For example, I tell someone a testimony, and some people say that it is a coincidence. But why don't they ask, how could it be such a coincidence?
Through learning, we observe, understand, and ponder, and then we understand the laws of how we live, we understand how we learn, how we think, and how we explore. We can not only explain these phenomena, but also find the internal laws and apply these laws in our lives. I tell you, if we do this, it will be difficult for us to not live well! Whenever we see a phenomenon, no matter what it is, we abstract the laws from it. For example, in ancient China, people looked at celestial phenomena and used them for astrology, which is fortune-telling. But scientists like Galileo, Copernicus, and Newton, after seeing celestial phenomena, saw that many stars moved from east to west, and occasionally discovered a few stars that did not move from east to west, but from west to east. These people had a scientific way of thinking.
The scientific way of thinking is actually: Why is there this phenomenon? If things all revolve around the earth, how can some things move east and some things move west? Someone began to explain, until Newton discovered the law of universal gravitation and Newton's three laws, which clearly explained the laws of celestial body operation. After calculation, it was indeed the case! Whoever masters the laws of things can use these laws. Today, the launching of artificial satellites all relies on Newton's three laws. Today, you can use the GPS navigation system, and open the map on your phone to navigate. This all relies on the navigation satellites in the sky, and behind the navigation satellites is Newton's laws discovered through science.
Brothers and sisters, we must remove many superstitious practices among us. Today's Christianity is also full of all kinds of superstitions. Today, we must deal with superstition. If we are to learn, we must learn things well and grasp the laws of development of things. I hope everyone can have a serious attitude towards learning.
Some people say, well, I'm not a scholar. Brothers and sisters, this is not a question of whether you are a scholar or not. This is a question of whether you live well or not. Let's read the Bible together. Some people say, can the Bible be learned? Isn't that superstition? No. You need to examine it rigorously. Even if it is written in the Bible, you must examine and observe it.
Scripture
Moses summoned all Israel and said: Hear, O Israel, the decrees and laws I declare in your hearing today. Learn them and be sure to follow them. The Lord our God made a covenant with us at Horeb. It was not with our fathers that the Lord made this covenant, but with us, with all of us who are alive here today. (Deuteronomy 5:1-3)
Prayer
Lord Jesus, grant us your revelation and the spirit of wisdom, so that we can understand your words, so that we can grasp your will, so that we can master the laws of life. Lord, you are the master of heaven and earth, so let us be well-rooted in your words, explore and seek diligently. Let us not be lazy in knowing your words, and let us be rigorous and earnest in knowing your words. After reading your words, may we be careful to follow them, so that we can learn to know the beautiful revelation you have given us. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
Scripture Background
When I was studying Deuteronomy, I lectured on Chapter 5, one chapter per week, for three weeks. The theme of Chapter 5 is The Laws of Living Well and Living Long, which sounds pretty good. I gave three lectures, upper, middle and lower. When I was preparing this manuscript, I looked at my original Bible study and thought I wrote it quite well. Everyone has the opportunity to listen to the recording of Deuteronomy Chapter 5. I think I explained it very well. I explained the matter of living very clearly.
Chapter 5 talks about the well-known
Ten Commandments” promulgated by Moses. Today, I give everyone a word of advice—the key to whether people live well lies in curses and blessings. For example, the
Ten Commandments” say you shall not murder. Today, if you look closely at those who commit murder, whether it is themselves or their descendants, they do not live well.
An American scientist once conducted extensive research in prisons and found that in the families of these murderers, murderers often appeared in previous generations. Later, it was discovered that in the families of scientists, previous generations were all very pious people. Later, he discovered this law. Using social scientific survey methods, summaries and generalizations will reveal that in fact, those ancestors who did many evil deeds, their descendants do not live well, and the impact on future generations is very deep.
You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor. (Exodus 20:13-17)
The
Ten Commandments” of the Bible are very powerful. Whoever touches the
Ten Commandments” lives directly under a curse. Everyone can observe carefully, and they cannot live well. There is a brother among us whose uncle coveted his grandmother's house. In fact, it was not his grandmother's house, it was his aunt's house. His aunt was his uncle's sister. As a result, his uncle coveted the house and fought with his sister, making it clear that he wanted to fight for the house. In fact, the house was in his sister's name, and his uncle died of cancer before he could win the house.
Perhaps some people say that this is an isolated case. You can investigate it more carefully. Later, I found that many people's uncles have these problems. Although I am also someone else's uncle, I am not so foolish. If you investigate carefully, what can you summarize and generalize using the scientific method of incomplete induction? You will find that those who violate the
Ten Commandments” are very miserable. The first thing mentioned in the “Ten Commandments” is:
And God spoke all these words: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. (Exodus 20:1-6)
In this great land of China, there are many common sayings circulating, such as: Anti-corruption depends on mistresses. Would you say that this is adultery? Recently, a person was arrested and shot. That person had many mistresses. His body was also quite strong, but no matter how strong he was, he could not withstand being sentenced to death, could he? So you have to think carefully. These evildoers have all violated the
Ten Commandments” of the Lord God. Everyone should look carefully, and we brothers and sisters must learn. Learning is the most important thing when we are alive. When they did these things, they did not think about what the laws of living are. Deuteronomy Chapter 5 talks about the two most basic laws of human blessing and curse.
It is quite deadly for people to worship idols. When have you ever heard of someone who worships idols saying in front of the idols that I want to offer myself up? They are all asking for this blessing and that blessing, all for their own little petty matters. In fact, no one worships idols with the intention of offering themselves up to be a blessing to many people.
But the Jesus Christ we Chinese Mingding Destiny worship is not for our own benefit, but to offer ourselves to be a blessing to many people. Can everyone understand? What is Chapter 5 about? It talks about the two most basic laws of blessing and curse. I have set the theme of Chapter 5 as
The Basic Laws of Living Well and Living Long.” Everyone should think carefully about how many people and how many Christians are worshiping the Lord Jesus as an idol on the road to faith?
Lord, give me a good job; Lord, give me a boyfriend; Lord, give me a good child; Lord, keep my child safe so they can get into university... This is not much different from worshiping idols. Those people worship this and that, and they are probably talking about these things. Why? Because people do not understand the God in the Bible, who wants you to learn the decrees and laws. People do not know, so they like to mess around blindly. People completely ignore this almighty God, the Lord who created the universe, who completely offered himself for our sins and transgressions, for our Lord Jesus who died on the cross, who shed blood and sacrificed, and finally rose from the dead. People completely ignore these things, and as a result, they have turned Christianity into something almost like superstition.
Brothers and sisters, you have to think carefully about the theme of Deuteronomy Chapter 5. To live and be blessed, this is the most basic law of living long. If you don't believe it, you should explore it with a very scientific law.
What Exactly is Learning
Moses summoned all Israel and said: Hear, O Israel, the decrees and laws I declare in your hearing today. Learn them and be sure to follow them. (Deuteronomy 5:1)
Do you understand? So what is learning? Some people recognize many words. Is that learning? That is also learning. But what exactly is learning? I tell you, it is understanding the laws of things, understanding the laws of development of things, and I think the most important thing is understanding the laws of human life! Everyone should think carefully. You listen, you learn, and then you are careful to follow them. Our brothers and sisters must grasp some learning methods. What is learning? Learning is learning and understanding the laws of development of things. After understanding these laws of things, we can apply these laws of things. We not only learn the laws of things, but also learn how to apply them.
In Zhang Shuangnan's video, it is mentioned that Russia and Europe cooperated to launch a scientific research satellite. Putin the Great wanted to provide funds, so he sat down with these scientists and said: What is the use of your research project? How great is the risk? Many people were surprised how Putin asked such a question. Putin was indeed not born as a scientist, he was born as a politician, while scientists who were born in scientific research already knew how to answer this kind of question.
The German scientist began to say: When Einstein researched the theory of relativity, no one could answer what its use was, and did not know how dangerous it was, but later we saw that the atomic bomb was invented, all thanks to Einstein's theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. The atomic bomb is very powerful, very useful, and has corresponding risks. Today, the principle of the medical examination equipment used in hospitals is nuclear magnetic resonance, and nuclear magnetic resonance is closely related to Einstein's quantum mechanics. Do you think this is useful? When people are studying these scientific truths, they did not know what use they would be at the time. Today, we must know for sure that the application of scientific laws is technology. Therefore, science and technology are often linked together. Science is the study of the laws of things, and technology is the application of scientific laws.
If something cannot be effectively applied using scientific principles, it is futile. Today, as we read the Bible, we must begin to understand that the Bible reveals applicable laws. By learning the laws of life, living to receive blessings, one can live long. The Lord our God made a covenant with us. This covenant was not made with our ancestors, who have long since passed away and are not related to this covenant. The Bible says this covenant is actually made with us, the living. We must understand that the Bible is written for the living, not for the dead; it is written for the living about the laws of how to live well.
If we are ignorant of these laws and do not treat them with diligence, and then later ask God why things are as they are, it has nothing to do with how much one reads. People perish for lack of knowledge. The laws of things do not depend on your own perspective. Information received purely through intuition is usually incorrect. According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, a feather and an iron ball should fall with the same acceleration. However, in real life, we see that the feather falls slowly and the iron ball falls quickly. But if you beat the iron ball into a sheet, the iron sheet and the iron ball, with the same weight, will fall differently; the iron sheet falls slowly, and the iron ball falls quickly.
Therefore, we must know that many of the messages we receive intuitively are incorrect. Few choices made based on intuition align with the laws of things. Can a person who lives by taking advantage of others live well? A person with a poverty mentality inside cannot become wealthy. If a person discerns good and evil, it is difficult for them not to fall ill. A few days ago, we were promoting a healing and deliverance conference, ministering to a sister who was paralyzed in bed. She discerned good and evil to an extreme degree. A young pastor among us ministered to her, wanting to bring her out of discerning good and evil, but they ended up arguing. In fact, this sister did not want to discern good and evil in this way; no one enjoys being seriously ill in bed, living in such pain.
But people are ignorant, unaware that these things are the cause of their miserable lives. If it were me, I would definitely tell this sister to study hard, that the system of discerning good and evil, indulging the flesh, and lust has harmed her greatly. She needs to learn the statutes, ordinances, and commandments of the Lord God, begin to see these issues with God's eyes, and begin to realize that she has been setting things up incorrectly in the past and needs to start setting them up correctly today. What is learning? It is learning the laws of things and then learning how to apply these laws of things.
Hear, O Israel, the decrees and laws I declare in your hearing today. Learn them and be sure to follow them. (Deuteronomy 5:1)
In today's Christian environment, phenomena that do not conform to the teachings of the Bible are everywhere. But how many people, upon seeing these phenomena, doubt and seek answers? Everyone sees prayers going unanswered and thinks it is normal. Once, a pastor raised two children who both had disabilities. Is this a blessing or a curse? If you think it is a blessing, I do not want such a blessing. Does one not need to reflect on where one has gone wrong? But people do not reflect, feeling that they are not at fault, often thinking these phenomena are normal. We really need to emulate scientists and learn with a rigorous attitude.
Do not tell me that as soon as you start learning, everything hurts except your hair. Then I ask you, do you want to live in ignorance for the rest of your life, until you enter the coffin, unable to live and receive blessings, but only living under a curse? If you really want to know how to live well, then go back and look at my Bible study on Deuteronomy chapter 5. Learning this matter is a truth that Moses wrote in the Bible three thousand five hundred years ago.
Learning is about properly studying the laws that others have already discovered. If others are experts, we must listen, learn, recognize, and learn how to apply, instead of thinking about inventing three laws like Newton, idly trying to create a new set. We should learn to inherit. Einstein has already developed the theory of relativity; you do not need to painstakingly start from scratch, re-researching Einstein's theory of relativity, as you would not have that much time in your life. Therefore, learning is inheritance.
I am a learner. There is too much knowledge for me to learn in a lifetime. I am distressed that I do not have time to learn many things. Are there many among us who spend a lot of time in idle chatter? Living poorly and then coming to me for prayer. You must learn, understand, and seriously study, seriously observe. Learning is mastering the laws of things and learning how to apply them.
If you master the laws of blessing and curse, master the laws of how to please God, it is hard for you to live poorly. For example, suppose there are two Josephs, both sold into Egypt. One is Joseph A, and the other is Joseph B. They are both sold into Egypt as slaves at the same time. Joseph A, who knows the laws revealed by God, later becomes the prime minister of Egypt, while Joseph B, who does not know God's laws, ends up miserably dying in prison. It all depends on whether there is godly knowledge inside a person.
If a person is in a state of discerning good and evil, indulging the flesh, and loving money and the world, then it is difficult for them to live well. Are there not examples you can learn from in Qincheng Prison? There are many people who have been shot and live in chaos. Some say: You are wrong, they are all people who have lost in political struggles; the winner is king, the loser is a thief. But the question is, do they live well? Have they mastered the laws of living well? None of them have. Therefore, we must restore our rigorous scientific attitude of learning. If you do not know how to learn, I can teach you.
Chinese Mingding Destiny Comes From A Rigorous Scientific Attitude
You know I am not a roughneck; I am a person with rigorous learning methods and a spirit of exploration. Where does Chinese Mingding Destiny come from? It comes from seeing many phenomena that do not conform to the Bible, seeing many unanswered prayers, wrong teachings, and seeing many strange things happening in churches. For example, a pastor prayed for his mother's insomnia for seven years. If he did not pray, his mother's problem did not change. But once he prayed, his mother's sleeping pills increased fourfold from the normal dose.
What is the problem? It is not setting things up correctly. We still do not think we have not set things up correctly, thinking it is normal. Later, his mother came to me, and I helped his mother get healed. The question is, when we see that the result is wrong, shouldn't we reflect on whether we have not set things up correctly somewhere? If we think we have not set things up correctly, then the problem is not too big, and we can still salvage it. But if we shrug our shoulders, acting as if it is fine that we have not set things up correctly, thinking God has not given me this gift, these people are masters of shifting blame. In Christianity, prayer sometimes works and sometimes does not, and people do not think there is anything great about it. This is just messing around, and I call it the new era of superstitious Christianity. This is very dangerous because there is a lack of a rigorous scientific attitude, and people rigidly think it is normal without understanding.
If we see some phenomena and do some things, we must constantly examine what the Bible says. If scientific laws are not applied well, we cannot see normal results. Later, we constantly prayed and sought answers, including examining Genesis, including our understanding of salvation and faith, of the Christian faith. What is the understanding of what is written in the Bible? Our Chinese Mingding Destiny gives many completely different answers.
Chinese Mingding Destiny not only sees these strange phenomena through examining the Bible but also examines them with a rigorous attitude, until, like Newton discovered the law of universal gravitation and the model of celestial bodies, we then saw these phenomena and went to explore and research. We do not stay at interpreting the Bible with the Bible but rigorously implement the words of the Bible. This implementation is crucial, solving many problems. It is not that they cannot be solved, but that they can be solved.
For example, the spiritual laws of healing and deliverance are what we have discovered in the past few years through this rigorous attitude of implementing God's word. I myself believe that my explanation is very consistent with the Bible and has produced results. Recently, a Chinese term called hardcore has become popular on the internet. What is hardcore? What is a hardcore engineer, a hardcore lawyer? Hardcore is truly the best description of our Chinese Mingding Destiny Christian system. For any Christian belief system, we implement what God says. If, after implementation, we find that the results do not match what is expected in the Bible, then we have set things up incorrectly.
At our healing and deliverance conference a few days ago, I gave a lesson that made me feel very excited, titled We Often Get It Wrong. In fact, God has been revealing, but we often do not hear it. Today, we must hear, we must learn, we must be sure to follow them. If it is difficult to live out a blessed life! Today we must know that the God we speak of is the God of the living, and He makes a covenant with us, which is made with us who are alive, not about after we die, but we must see God's blessings while we are alive. Chinese Mingding Destiny is a very scientific Christian belief system. If I am talking about something that I have not done, I usually will not talk about it. Many of the things I talk about are things I have done.
Healing and deliverance are like this, so today, brothers and sisters, I do not want to talk too much about the spiritual laws of healing and deliverance. I have already given nine lessons on The Theoretical System of Healing and Deliverance, which clearly explain these diseases and the spiritual laws behind them. The brothers and sisters among us have applied just a little bit and have seen God's blessings.
As you apply more and more in continuous learning and exploration, I think you will become such a blessed person! Brothers and sisters, begin to become learners, begin to become rigorous people, begin to become people with a truly scientific attitude. Although you are an ordinary person, if you have a rigorous scientific attitude, you will become an asset to this society, able to contribute to this society, and you can live very happily. I long for our brothers and sisters to learn the scientific laws of living.
The Scientific Laws Of Living
The two most important things in life are blessing and curse. When people are unlucky, they get their teeth stuck even when drinking cold water. People have innate bad habits. Ideas like Let it be and This is just a coincidence are not good. We must begin to restore our rigorous spirit of learning. Begin to understand what living is all about, make bold hypotheses, and rigorously verify them.
For example, what is money all about? We must carefully observe and see what money has given people. About two months ago, I gave a sermon titled The Deceitfulness of Wealth, which had a high click-through rate. This means that everyone is very interested in the deceitfulness of wealth. So, do you think I explained it clearly or not? Perhaps at that stage, I had tried very hard to explain it clearly, but I think the deceitfulness of wealth is worth continuing to study.
Brothers and sisters, begin to understand the scientific laws of living. Sometimes, we think something is worthwhile, but it actually brings a curse. Sometimes, we think doing something is a loss, but it brings a blessing. In my heart, there is a very serious matter: I am not seeking my own benefit in this life. All I seek is to be a blessing to many. Will I lack? Many people will say, Isn't it foolish to live like you? If a person does not look out for himself, heaven and earth will condemn him. In fact, a person is condemned by heaven and earth for looking out for himself; it is exactly the opposite. You must understand the spiritual laws of blessing and curse. Brothers and sisters must know that the spiritual world governs everything in our lives.
How do we understand the spiritual world? What are the operating laws of the spiritual world? These are all clearly explained in the Bible. I encourage everyone to know what destiny means. Destiny is not asking God to bless me; destiny is why I came into this world, why I live. What am I living for? If living is just to make more money, living is just to become a Fortune 500 company, can you live well?
Everyone must not be deceived by these things, having your heart full of money, land, and houses. I cannot finish talking about these things in one breath. I can only tell you that studying is good because studying can help you understand the laws of living. It is hard to live poorly. So today, we understand the laws of being blessed, the laws of being cursed, and the laws of healing and deliverance. At the same time, we understand how to think and learn to think. I long for our brothers and sisters to become wise and to become people who please God.
I thank God that our difficult climbing phase has passed. Chinese Mingding Destiny has basically formed a system and is constantly moving forward. I have freed up some time and want to do more practical things and help more brothers and sisters. Some people do not understand and think I am doing it for money. I do not want money because doing these things is my reward. I do not want to do these things for money. You say I am too noble? It is not nobility; my purpose of living is to be a blessing to more people. I am not here to take, but to give.
Last night, a brother called me to talk about cooperation. I said, What cooperation? You can have the money; I am doing it for free. I do not want anything in return. In the morning, a sister asked me to do something. I did it because it was easy to do, and I did not want her money. Where do so many good things come from in this world? Many people cannot understand it. Everyone must know that I have pleased God, I desire to be a blessing to more people. Will I lack money? A preacher must have the Word. The question is whether it is worthwhile or not. You really have to think about it. Later, someone really came to ask me: What is going on with you? I do not understand. My explanation is that I just want to please God because my blessing comes from God, and I do not want to live under a curse. Everything I do is to please God.
If my God is pleased with me, will I lack? I listen to God's word, study God's word, and be sure to follow God's word, and life becomes very simple.
Breaking False Faith
The word faith, whether it is devout or not, whether you believe or not, is used too much in the religious context. Why does it not work? Not devout enough, they say. How can a person be so devout and still get arrested? After being corrupt, they do some charity and buy a little peace of mind, but it is useless. Then they say he is not devout enough. What is devout? He cannot say clearly how much incense, paper, or kowtows are enough to be considered devout because he is superstitious.
Many people say: I also believe in Jesus. Lord, protect my child so he can get into university. Lord, protect the business I am doing… What are these things? Are they in the Bible? When answering questions, someone asked me: Can I ask God to protect the business I am doing? There is no such thing in the Bible. The Bible says: Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. But do people believe it? Is it possible? How to live then? They just do not believe.
Do not talk about whether you are devout or not. That is not the key. The key is what do you believe in? Today, brothers and sisters must know that we believe in every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord God. Every word that comes from the mouth of our God is the law of the operation of the spiritual world, the revelation that God gives us, the basic rules and spiritual laws that God tells us how people can live a blessed and long life on earth.
I long for our brothers and sisters to be people who explore and seek. This is a treasure, no longer blindly believing and living in ignorance. If your prayers do not work or you are living under a curse, you must change, knowing that you have not set things up correctly. Everyone can listen to the ninth lesson of the third phase of the healing and deliverance conference, We Often Get It Wrong. We must know that people live by every word that comes from the mouth of God. If you do not understand the laws of living, it is blind faith, it is superstition. Many people describe faith as the faith of idol worship, so how can it possibly work?
Conclusion
Brothers and sisters, do not be lazy anymore. Clean yourselves up. You are standing at this crossroads. Do you want to learn or not? If you want to live poorly, it is easy. Just live randomly and mess around. If you want to live as an unlucky person, living under a curse, it is easy. But if you want to live in blessing, live well, and live out the glory of God, then you really have to stand at the crossroads and choose one thing: to pay a price to understand and know God, to know God's word, and to understand the laws of living.
If you want to live a miserable life, it is not difficult at all. Just continue to move towards the choice you are making today. If you want to live a little better, live to receive blessings, live a long time, live out the glorious image of God in this world, and live out God's beautiful promises to us, it is worth paying a price. People should do a calculation to see if it is worthwhile and what we are living for. What exactly is our destiny? Brothers and sisters, make a choice with me today, willing to learn, willing to listen to God's word, willing to be sure to follow them after learning. Until I practice and implement God's word and get results today, it is hard not to be blessed. These results are certain.
Begin to look forward to it, pay a price, and hope that we can live healthier, more prosperous, more glorious, and more noble. This is true faith, and it removes the myths of past faith from within us. Some brothers and sisters are lying in bed, seriously ill, having been Christians for more than 20 years, living under a curse. What exactly is their faith? Is it because their faith is not devout enough? No, it is ignorance. Today, begin to choose to be a hardcore Christian, have a deep understanding of God's word, not only live in blessing yourself but also become a blessing to many.
May God bless everyone!
