Introduction

Learning is the most important thing in a person's life. Everyone agrees with this point, and no one will argue with me. As Christians, regardless of your denomination, whether you are Roman Catholic, Presbyterian, or Methodist, no one will oppose the idea that we should be like Jesus. However, the problem arises when it comes to truly being like Jesus. In fact, learning to be like Jesus is the most important thing in our lives. We must be gentle and humble in heart like Jesus.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. (Matthew 11:29)

Let's talk about a topic that may be a little discouraging, but hopefully will serve as a reminder: Always Learning, But Never Able to Come to a Knowledge of the Truth. Does this topic awaken you? This is the key reason why I am discussing this topic. In the process of learning, some people are good at it, while others are not. So, I want to talk about how to learn. In the process of learning, people often feel confused. If you ask why they are confused, they may not even know themselves. Not to mention learning to be like Jesus, even learning subjects like language, mathematics, and English often leads to confusion. This is because they do not know how to learn. Therefore, we will start encouraging our brothers and sisters to develop a habit of learning, and also to develop a habit of knowing how to learn.

When faced with things, the reason why we feel confused is that we have not built a system within ourselves. When a phenomenon occurs, we are at a loss and do not know what is happening. Some time ago, we received a couple whom I had personally ministered to. The husband was hospitalized with heart disease, the wife had many illnesses, and their son needed a kidney transplant, which usually only lasts eight to ten years. The family's financial situation was also very bad, and they had a younger son who was also sick. After we ministered to this family, they felt that their problems were almost solved, and they left the church together.

They are still in contact with some of our brothers and sisters, and everyone is wondering why they left the church but are still living well. They even went to ask their small group leader why this is the case. If you saw these things, would you also feel confused? I want to say, does this need explanation? Those who leave us are all living well. Moreover, aren't people in this world all living well? Everyone is advancing in lockstep on the road to death. We see that this person is living well, and that person is also living well. People in this world are all doing well.

There was once a person who held a leadership position in a large company, and everyone looked at him with envy, feeling that his business was thriving and that he was living a great life. Later, the company had problems, and it was said that there were many shady dealings. Later, this person jumped from a building in a foreign country and died. Some people speculated whether he was pushed or jumped himself, but in any case, the person's final outcome was death.

Before the company went bankrupt, people were living well. Before disaster strikes in life, people feel that they are living well. What problem does living well explain? When problems arise, many people are confused because we are always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. If you are confused, it means that you have not yet understood the truth. If you look with worldly eyes, it seems that everyone is living well. But if you look with spiritual eyes, you will find that it is vanity of vanities, all meaningless. Therefore, I want to talk about Always Learning, But Never Able to Come to a Knowledge of the Truth.

Regarding these things, let's look at what our internal logic system is. After pondering for a while, isn't the experience of living in this life a process of suddenly going from good to bad? How does this change happen? Because people have not figured out what living is all about, and they have not figured out when disaster will strike. If people could understand this, that would be great. For example, if someone is driving and knows in advance that they will have a car accident today and their life will be in danger, do you think they would still drive?

I heard a story: A person in the United States had their fortune told, and the fortune teller said, You will die in a plane crash in the future. This scared him so much that he never took a plane again after that. He eventually moved to a very remote mountainous area where there was no airport, so he would not encounter any plane crashes. One day, he was sitting in his yard enjoying the cool air when a fighter pilot practicing maneuvers discovered that his plane had malfunctioned. He pressed the ejection button and parachuted to safety, abandoning the plane. The plane seemed to be controlled by some force and flew directly into the yard of this person's house, and the person was suddenly crushed to death by the plane.

It is really hard for us to imagine how such a coincidental thing could happen. However, the things that happen in this world are truly full of coincidences. We are also curious how the plane found that exact spot, and how the fortune teller was so accurate that the plane really did crush the person. We will leave aside the truthfulness of this matter for now. There are many things that confuse people. If you understand the law of how people live, you will find that the spiritual realm governs the affairs of the world. Our God reigns over the affairs of the spiritual realm and also governs the affairs of this world. We must be sober.

My younger brother had a car accident on the seventh anniversary of my father's death, on that very day. Do you think this is strange? My younger brother was driving on the highway when suddenly the car malfunctioned and rolled into a cliff. He and his wife crawled out of the car in a disheveled state. The car was badly damaged, but luckily it got stuck in a place and did not fall further down; otherwise, they would have lost their lives. Fortunately, they were both okay. That day was the seventh anniversary of my father's death.

Later, during a deliverance session, a demon manifested and mentioned my brother's car accident, laughing and saying to me, Do you know? I caused your brother's car accident. I asked, How did you do it? The demon said, That day I passed by and saw your brother driving, so I blew a breath into his car, and the car rolled down the cliff. I suddenly understood, You little rascal, you did it? You're really bad. The demon replied, There's nothing I can do. Who told him to love the world so much?

We must ponder what is going on in this world. People do not understand the things of the spiritual realm, which is truly a mystery. People in the world seem to be living well, but when something happens, they are confused. For example, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, someone driving a BMW at 200 kilometers per hour crashed and had an accident. Someone secretly took a photo, and in that photo, you could faintly see the head of a horse. You might say that this is a mistake. We will not argue about this for now, but in fact, many car accidents are closely related to the spiritual realm.

If we are always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth, we will all be holding hands and running towards the road to death. Can you accept my point of view? In fact, all of us have been sentenced to death, but some have a suspended sentence of thirty or forty years, and some have a suspended sentence of seventy or eighty years. In the end, we are all running towards the road to death. The problem is that people do not know what living is all about. What are we fussing about all day long? We are so serious and entangled, arguing about worldly things. We are often confused. If a person is often confused, they will never be able to come to a knowledge of the truth. Our job is to help people understand the truth, to explain the truth clearly, and to solve people's confusion. In fact, worldly phenomena can be explained clearly with spiritual eyes.

Scripture

Always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. (2 Timothy 3:7)

Prayer

Lord Jesus, open our minds so that we can escape the bondage of this world's value system. Lord, be in us, give us light, and let us know what kind of people are always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. God, open our minds so that we can become vessels of honor before you, sanctified and useful to you. Lord, let us escape the passions of youth, let us open our spiritual eyes, and see clearly the facts and truth of this world.

Lord, let us stand in eternity and see our present life, let us understand how rich and glorious the grace you have prepared for us in eternity is. Lord, let us live transparently in this life, relying on your word in our thoughts and intentions. Lord, open our minds so that we can live clearly, running continuously on your truth, and not be confused or perplexed when we see phenomena, and even more not be deceived. Lord, help us to know your truth, so that we can live out your glorious image, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Background of this passage

This passage speaks of a strange phenomenon that occurred in the church Timothy was pastoring at that time. It is said that Paul was sentenced to death at that time, and then Paul wrote the letters of 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy before his death and sent them to Timothy. Paul knew Timothy's weaknesses in his personality and wrote these letters addressing Timothy's weaknesses. The content of the letter was Paul's heartfelt words to Timothy, what did he say? Timothy was a good coworker of Paul, but he often had some weaknesses on him, and these weaknesses were vividly expressed in the letters. This letter was written to address Timothy's problems. If Timothy did not have these problems, Paul would not have written these words. The situation Timothy faced at that time was this:

Having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. (2 Timothy 3:5-7)

These words are quite heavy, what caused them? Timothy was a pastor who was pastoring a church at the time. When people with a form of godliness are mixed in the church, this kind of problem occurs in the church. Should we ponder and think about these phenomena? Paul's intention in writing these words to address Timothy's weaknesses was to make Timothy especially careful. Why do people always learn, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth? Because these people like to argue about words.

A few days ago, a sister asked me: Jacob heard that Joseph was eaten by a wolf, Jacob was very sad in his heart, his son died, Jacob put sackcloth on his waist, isn't this following the customs of this world? We also have the problem of picking faults when reading the Bible. After reading it, we feel that Jacob is following the customs of this world, and then we also have a reason to follow the customs of this world. If you are willing to follow the customs of this world, I will not stop you from putting as much sackcloth on your waist as you want. Then what are you trying to achieve by asking this kind of question? This is an argument about words.

Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. But avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness. (2 Timothy 2:14-16)

Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. (2 Timothy 2:23)

It is difficult to understand the truth by reading the Bible in this way. Some people also ask: Did Nehemiah have tongues prayer? What does it have to do with us whether Nehemiah had tongues prayer? What do you want to prove by asking this question? Do you want to prove that Nehemiah did not have tongues prayer, so tongues prayer does not exist at all? Nehemiah was a person four or five hundred years before Jesus came to earth. Could Nehemiah come to question Jesus? Later, he asked whether John the Baptist had tongues prayer?

What do you want to prove by asking this kind of question? In fact, this kind of question is very foolish. This kind of thing leads to a series of problems, imprisoning ignorant women. Why imprison ignorant women, why not imprison Paul? Because it is impossible to imprison Paul at all. Our brothers and sisters must know that Timothy's situation was that he did not know how to deal with it. Paul was very concerned about Timothy, so he wrote 2 Timothy to teach him how to deal with it.

It is very common for this kind of situation to occur in the church. Until today, how many people are always learning, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth? The mother of one of our sisters is in the local church. One day, her mother came home and shared with this sister that the sisters in their church had been diagnosed with cancer one after another. So many people have cancer, this sister is worried that her mother will also get cancer. I said to this sister, Is your mother worried about getting cancer? If you are really worried, bring your mother to us and let your mother understand the truth. The sister said, My mother has many problems.

I also know the pastor of the church she is in, and then I made a phone call to this pastor. As a result, this pastor said a lot of harsh words to me on the phone, so it was also a foolish act for me to make that phone call. Many strange phenomena often appear in the church. The words of these people are like sores that grow bigger and bigger, and there are many such people in the church today. When I read 2 Timothy, I thought to myself that I would definitely not be Timothy, I must be Paul. These people can only argue with Timothy, because Timothy is more gentle in nature.

But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

This passage says that there are people in the church, and a series of problems will occur when such people appear in the church. The people Paul wrote about are often led astray by their own passions. I will say something that is easy to stumble over, can this kind of person stay in our midst? It's difficult. So I created an environment to make these people take the initiative to avoid me. This kind of person is often led astray by their own passions, always learning, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. So we must not follow the words of people, because we often cannot distinguish clearly.

Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work. (2 Timothy 2:21)

And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will. (2 Timothy 2:24-26)

If people cannot wake up and are going to be captured by the devil, then let them be captured. The church is made up of the disciples of the Lord Jesus, not a group of believers. Believers do not explain anything. This is the background of this passage. It discusses the reason why people often learn, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth after having this kind of value system. I hope that this sermon can make our brothers and sisters wake up again. If you do not understand the truth, then let the devil capture you. The devil has a good relationship with me and often helps me clean up the church, and often reports to me. Because what we do is only to have a clear conscience before God.

Without a Global Perspective, People Cannot Understand the Truth

Why do people often learn but cannot understand the truth? Suppose we stand in the light of the seventy or eighty years of life today to look at a person's life, and we will feel that we still have a long life ahead of us, and we are still very promising. If you think this way, what can you understand? In fact, you can't understand anything. My mother was still working three weeks before her death, and someone gave her five bags of wheat. What can these five bags of wheat do? They are just eaten and then excreted in the toilet. It is also possible that my mother planted them in the ground, and many new wheat grew, and then they were eaten again and excreted again. The fate of wheat is like this, I don't know how many times it has been recycled.

So if we don't have a global perspective today, we can't understand what we see no matter how we look at it, just as the ancient Chinese saying goes: We cannot see the true face of Mount Lu, because we are in the middle of it. Because we only know that we are living in this life today, so we see this life as dizzy. In fact, you don't know it yourself, you are at best a Dragon Two or a Fugui, just living for the sake of living, meaningless, you haven't seen through it at all!

Regarding the matter of living, the author who wrote the book Living sees it this way: living is living itself. What exactly is living? We still can't understand it after we have finished watching the seventy or eighty years of life! We can only toss in these seventy or eighty years of living! What can we toss out after tossing back and forth? At best, we can toss out a coffin, and then no one will commemorate it. But if you look at this life from eternity, it's not seventy or eighty years, or eighty or ninety years, it's whether a person can have the concept of eternal life in this eternity.

A person who does not have a global perspective will never be able to understand the truth. If a person does not have the concept of eternal life, he cannot understand the truth. If a person does not know that there is heaven, earth, and the underworld, or that a person does not know that there is heaven and hell, he cannot understand the truth! If people's eyes are fixed on this life, then what do you see? What you see is your mother's house, your father's house, your sister's house, and then you grab the house, grab the property, do business, and make money desperately, putting your life on the line to make money to death!

If you don't have the concept of eternal life, you won't cherish these false things, right? Can you live well this way? If you can live well, you don't need to listen to me nagging here. It's because you don't have the concept of eternal life that you live out a lot of entanglements, right? Many people live in curses, why? Because they don't understand God's word. Can you not be cursed if you don't understand God's word? So brothers and sisters, what do you see when you stand from God's perspective and look at this world? You say you can't see it, I don't have this height either, but you will always lie in a coffin one day, right? Is that really the end of it? Is it really okay after a person dies? You don't know that the spiritual realm is real!

We must have this global perspective. No matter how loudly a person claims to be an atheist, the things he does are very strange! For example, going to the grave and burning paper for his family members. How strange, isn't he an atheist? What are you burning paper for? This paper is still in a large envelope, and even the name and address of a certain person are written on it for collection. Where are you going to collect it? Don't many idolaters do this? So are they really atheists?

Some time ago, there was a big entrepreneur who was offering a lot of idols on the top floor of his house, and at the same time he was an atheist, so how should this be explained? Very strange! People actually believe in ghosts and gods, and they like to have their fortunes told, and then when you talk to him about the spiritual realm, he says he is an atheist. There are many contradictions! Why? Because people don't stand in eternity to look at this life. People stand in this life and see that all the purposes of living are for this life, then you will definitely live in a dizzy state! You will not be able to learn, that is, you are always learning, but you will never be able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

So brothers and sisters, think carefully, in the past six months, what I have been doing is constantly dismantling your value system in this life, constantly dismantling it, constantly dismantling it! But I often lament that it is difficult to dismantle! For example, I ministered to a sister who couldn't breathe and was in a state of dying. After the ministering was over, she was well. But I understand in my heart, has the value system in her completely dismantled? No! Because she is greedy for money! I said, if you have money in your hand today, are you still like this today? No! You don't know what your name is!

It is precisely because of poverty that we still have the opportunity to know God. Has knowing God changed our logic system in this life? No! No matter what you learn, especially when learning the Word of God, you will be filled with confusion if you stand in this life. If we do not know what the goal is, do not have a global view, and do not have a general trend, we cannot see clearly. What can we learn clearly?

No matter what I teach, whether it is computers or the way to eternal life, I am talking about a global view. If we look at it from a global view, you will not be dizzy after seeing it. I can explain many things clearly and simply because I can explain the global view to you clearly from the beginning. What is the global view in this world? The affairs of the spiritual realm govern the affairs of this life. No matter how old you live, perhaps thirty or fifty years old, you must have experienced spiritual matters.

I had a classmate who was a policeman. One day, he was hospitalized. The ward was full, so he was assigned to the oncology department. He told me this personally. In the oncology department, he put his gun under his pillow and went to sleep. He did not know it was the oncology department. The oncology department is often haunted; people just do not talk about it, but everyone knows it. Have you heard of being pinned down by a ghost? Whether you believe in the Lord or not, being pinned down by a ghost is too common!

As a result, in the middle of the night, between sleep and wakefulness, he saw four people carrying him away. He reached for the gun under his pillow, but he could not move his hand or his body. He was completely stiff, and his mouth could only shout. His partner, who was sleeping with him in the room, turned on the light and called him back. He woke up, covered in sweat! When he told me about it later, I told him that these were spiritual matters.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, (2 Timothy 3:2-3)

Do we believe in spiritual matters? Yes! Many people believe in spiritual matters, so why do they not have the concept of eternal life? Why must they say that death is like blowing out a candle? Why must they focus on the things of this life? If a person focuses on this life, how will he live? For example, there is a brother among us whose uncle coveted his grandmother's house. His grandmother's house was actually his sister's house. As a result, he coveted and fought over it, but he did not get it. Instead, he got cancer and died in the end, without getting the house.

If he knew about spiritual matters, would he have done that? He would not have done that. We have many such stories to tell. People who live for this life just fight and snatch. If they knew that a coffin was waiting for them, would they still do that? If doing this would bring a curse, and doing that would also bring a curse, would people continue to do it? People would not do it! If people felt that doing something would not benefit them, they would not continue to do it. If they felt that doing something would benefit them, they would definitely do it. But many people do not know that if they only stand in this life and only see this life, they will often fabricate false testimonies to frame others for the sake of worldly benefits.

Why? Because giving a true testimony would testify to their own guilt! So, many things, such as coveting other people's houses, will definitely be cursed. Brothers and sisters, we think it is good to get a house! But getting a house means getting a curse. How will we live this life?

Brothers and sisters, if you stand in the spiritual world, you will have a completely new global view. You know that there is a God in this world, and people originally had the glorious image of God, but human desires have caused them to lose their original glorious image of God. Then God wants to restore the glorious image of God in people, so that people can have eternal life! If people live only in this life and death is like blowing out a candle, then even if you gain this or that while you are alive, it is vanity of vanities, and you will not be able to understand it. So, as long as you stand from a global perspective, you can understand everything you learn.

So, brothers and sisters, you need to jump out of the vision of this life. If possible, prepare a coffin or an urn for yourself. Tell yourself that one day you will lie here, and you will take the things of this world lightly, isn't it? Why do people get angry in this world as soon as they get upset? Why is that force so deadly when it comes up? Because they take the things of this world too seriously! Your face, my face, you cannot wrong me... A lot of these things, what is the goal of people's lives?

If the goal of people's lives is this life, you will never be able to understand the truth. If you come among us just to solve your problems, you can leave after solving them! If you stay among us, you will only be gossiping and creating trouble. We do not like you, and you do not like us. We are running forward on the eternal truth. We are running this heavenly road, and you are pursuing worldly things. We have no way to have a common language, common views, or common understanding. You do not understand what I do, but I understand what you do. I understand because I am looking at this life from a spiritual perspective.

So, brothers and sisters, what is the goal of your life today? Why do we call it Chinese Mingding Destiny? Because with destiny there is blessing, and with blessing people can live well in the world. We do not live well in order to live well, but we live well in order to live for God, and we do not really care whether we live well or not. We only care about the crown of glory that God has prepared for us in eternity.

People have their own set of ideas

Why cannot people understand the truth? People have their own set of ideas and cannot learn. Whether it is learning the truth or learning anything, if you have your own set of ideas, it is difficult for you to learn anything! In fact, from the time we grow up, the degree of gentleness and humility within us determines our entire lives. If we are learners throughout our lives, we must often think that we are doing wrong.

I once preached a sermon called: We are often wrong. Everyone must listen carefully. I listed many things, such as: we are wrong, and then we find a lot of reasonable explanations for our mistakes. Is it meaningful? It is meaningless! I myself am very clear that I cannot solve many problems. I tell myself how good it would be if Jesus were here! How good it would be if I could do these things like Jesus. For example, a patient with a bleeding disorder, he would definitely be healed by touching Jesus. Touching me would only make it worse. What is the problem? Because I am not like Jesus, so I began to pursue being like Jesus from that time on. If I could be like Jesus, how many people I could bless! I would like to solve these people's problems. I do not want them to live in such pain.

So I can boldly reiterate the old tune with brothers and sisters. Today, our healing and deliverance has reached a very high level. We have really seen many people healed! A lot of people who come among us are healed, but what kind of person do you want to become after you are healed? If you are healed and plan to live the same way as before, just pat your butt and leave, I will definitely not call you back.

There is a sister who is a cancer patient. It has been many years since I started serving her. She is now very healthy and has also made a testimony of service, which is very good. So brothers and sisters, we must know that we have our own set of ideas, which often prevent us from being like Jesus. Without a global view and with stubbornness, you cannot improve, and you cannot learn to understand the truth. If people have their own set of ideas, it is really difficult to understand the truth.

Let me give you a few examples. I said that healing is God's will, do you agree? Our Jesus Christ trained twelve disciples, and then preached the gospel, healed diseases, and cast out demons. You have no right to disagree. Jesus Christ later trained seventy disciples to go out to preach the gospel, heal diseases, and cast out demons. Do you agree? You have no right to disagree either. What am I saying? I am saying that this gospel is the gospel of healing and deliverance, and then someone tells me that it is not right. I ask why it is not right? Does not Paul have a thorn in his side, and does not Timothy have a stomachache?

I retorted: Can Timothy's stomachache negate God's promise? Timothy is weak in character, and it is normal for him to have stomach problems. Because Timothy is often rebutted and has nothing to say, his stomach will be very blocked, understand? Brothers and sisters, we must know that Paul's thorn in his side is what he deserves. Paul's thorn in his side cannot negate that our God is a God who heals people, does it? Many of these situations are very strange. Someone brought up Song Shangjie's hemorrhoids to argue with me. Can this completely negate that our God is a God who heals? Today, you and I may not be able to do it, but should we not know that we are wrong?

A few days ago, someone introduced me to a patient with terminal cancer. I said: Why do not you introduce me to some good work? He said: Let us unite the two churches! I asked: What is the union for? He said: He will bring the cancer patients from his side to me to serve, and then he will serve those who do not have cancer patients there. I asked again: Why do not you introduce me to some good work? Is not it your responsibility to take on cancer patients? Then he said: Your church has this gift, and our church does not have this gift. I continued to ask: Can not your church get some gifts? He said again: Actually, our church also has gifts. I wondered, if you have gifts, then use them. It is really a strange phenomenon.

We often come up with some very strange arguments. Today, the teachings transmitted in the Christian faith do not conform to the truth of the《Bible》. Some pastors often pick on the faults of Jacob, not Jacob who wrote 《The Book of Jacob》, but Jacob, the grandson of Abraham and the son of Isaac, pick on his faults, but I have never seen them pick on Jacob's faults in the teachings of the Lord Jesus and the Apostle Paul, and no one in the Old Testament prophets has ever commented on Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The《Bible》says again and again that our God is the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, understand?

These pastors often say that Jacob is a liar, so he is deceived. Look at Jacob, Jacob's mother died, and he could not even go to the funeral in the end. The teachings are all based on the logic system of this life. Jacob did not even care about the funeral. Abraham was actually over a hundred years old when his father died. He already had Isaac at that time. According to the teachings of these pastors, Abraham should have taken his son Isaac back to Haran to attend his father's funeral, right?

In fact, the distance between them is not very far, a few hundred kilometers, and they can get there in a while by riding a fast horse. So today, if we want to comment, Abraham has no family affection, right? Joseph is also very proud. We often bring up these things, but are these ideas in line with the teachings of the 《Bible》? Few people ask such questions. Our distortions of the truth of the 《Bible》today are not limited to these. How can people understand the truth with these distortions?

If you stand in the logic system of this life, you will never be able to understand the truth. But these captive women, Paul said that they are always learning, but never able to understand the truth. These women often say that I understand, who says I do not understand, that is nonsense, I am very clear, I believe in Jesus, I am saved, I already have the sign of salvation, the blood of Jesus is on me! Is not this a very ridiculous statement?

Paul said that they are always learning, but never able to understand the truth. Take the people of the Corinthian church as an example. The Apostle Paul said: According to your learning ability, you should have been teachers, but now you are still spiritual infants, still very carnal people. Understand? Why? Because they are always learning, but never able to understand the truth, so they are often confused. If you read 《Hebrews》, what will you see? You will be more vigilant:

Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) (Hebrews 3:7-11)

Understand? That is to say, in the situation we are in today, we really need to ask ourselves, do I really understand the truth? If we can really understand the truth, it is not靠靠a sign of salvation, but to live out the image of God. How much do we look like Jesus? How much do we have the appearance of the Father? If you often have the appearance of the devil and not the appearance of Jesus Christ, are you the son of the Father? Are you the daughter of the Father?

So when the Jews argued with Jesus, Jesus said that you are the children of the devil, you are not the descendants of Abraham, because you do not have the appearance of Abraham. They said that we are the descendants of Abraham. Look at my family tree. It has been in the genealogy of Abraham all the way to my generation. What can this explain? It still explains nothing.

Later, these people crucified Jesus, because they had their own set of ideas. Brothers and sisters, do not think that you understand everything correctly when you read the 《Bible》. He is reading the 《Bible》, he is talking about the 《Bible》, and you are also talking about the 《Bible》, but do not think that you are all correct. I really do not understand everything correctly either. What is the problem? The problem is that according to the Pharisees' way of reading, they were able to crucify Jesus? Do not you think it is very thought-provoking? Do you think that if you read the 《Bible》, you will understand the 《Bible》? If you do not become a Pharisee, you should be congratulated.

So brothers and sisters, if we have our own set of ideas and lack a global view, it will prevent us from learning to understand the truth. Today is a generation that needs to clean up these garbage in faith. Today, this generation, we must begin to establish a global view and establish a belief system, no longer this piece or that piece, talking confusedly. So I encourage brothers and sisters, do not be the kind of people who are always learning, but never able to understand the truth, and do not know that living in eternity is God's plan. Do not know what God's plan is in eternity? What is our salvation? What is God's will?

Do not just know the little things you are pursuing, such as my job, my blessing, I want a raise, my children, my husband, my family, my acre of land, two cows, a wife and children on a warm bed. Where is the kingdom of God? Do you have the appearance of Jesus Christ? Brothers and sisters, we really need to deal with it. For example, some people fast and pray. What do they pray for? Pray for the things they ask for. Which one is the kingdom of God?

There used to be a brother who was a group leader under me. At that time, our church was still very weak. We just started to fast and pray. He hoped that his myopia would be healed. In the end, after fasting and praying for a week, his myopia was not healed. Do people really have time to fast and pray for a week to seek the kingdom of God? No, they are all asking for some benefits for themselves!

Two value systems, two logics, two endings

This ending is the ending in eternity. Some people say that he died when he left the world. He does not know that after death he will enter eternal destruction. As for me, I know how real the spiritual world is. I have personally experienced these things in the spiritual world, so I am very clear and understand the operating rules of the spiritual world. Therefore, I have cast out many demons and healed many patients. It is not because of anything else, it is the key component of practicing our God's value system.

When we truly believe in God's word and put God's word into practice, we do not become good people, but we become mighty warriors. We can trample on the devil and the enemy in this spiritual world and release the captive people. This is what God has entrusted us to do. When we say these words, some people say that it is not a sign of salvation. Then what is your sign of salvation? Is it that those who do not look like Jesus are saved, and those who look like Jesus are not saved? The sign of salvation is not like Jesus, then what is it?

How much of us looks like Jesus? How much is like the devil? How much of our logic system is the logic system of Jesus Christ? For the glory of eternity, we would rather run this road of the cross. How many people can carry this logic system? Do not wait until the end of things comes before gnashing your teeth. Today, the most worthy investment is the kingdom of God, the most worthy thing to dedicate our lives to is the kingdom of God, and the most worthy thing to choose to pay the price for is to pay the price for God.

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. (2 Timothy 4:7-8)

Do you have the courage to declare this before God? What is your pursuit in this life? Many times when I see our brothers and sisters serving, I often feel emotional, and I also feel that there is a brother who is not too young, basically he can be said to be living for the sake of living. His children have problems, his wife has problems, and he has problems at work. Later, he came among us and pursued a good life. What is he doing now? He said in the group that everything is fine. I asked what is fine? He replied that his children are now doing well in school, and his wife is now well, although his finances have not yet been turned around.

Understand? What is he pursuing? Such people are always learning, but never able to understand the truth. Although he is a man, he lives out the image of an ignorant woman. We begin to re-examine ourselves. Do you really understand the truth? If you do not understand the truth, it is useless to learn anything. I earnestly advise you again to tear down the logic system of this life and start running this heavenly road. We will surely see the glory of God in this world, descending upon us.

Summary: What do you want?

What do you want to learn? Have you really understood it? Your age is growing, and your temper is also growing. Maybe the money in your account is also growing, but has your knowledge of God grown? How much do you look like Jesus? I do not expect you to be so much like Jesus, but I expect one thing, do not be this kind of ignorant woman, do not be this kind of ignorant man. Whether you are a man or a woman, do not be a person who is always learning, but still cannot understand the truth. Because if you have no concept of eternal life at all, and you have no concept of God at all, you are just living for the sake of the things of this world, similar to the way Long Er and Fugui lived. That is a tragedy of life. I hope that what I said today can give you a reminder to completely walk out of the description of this kind of ignorant person that Paul said, and become a blessed person. May God bless everyone!
