Introduction

Good day to all. Today, I wish to share a very good topic with everyone. Why? Because this topic can lead you to joy and also to a fulfilling life. The topic is I have been crucified with Christ. It may not sound appealing, as being crucified is not a good thing. However, you must understand that this is the secret of life! In this world，there exist various kinds of Christians and churches, but only one type of Christian is crucified with Jesus, and this Christian will live out the image of God.

In this world, we see all sorts of Christians and churches, and we hear all manner of viewpoints. People argue back and forth, but no conclusion is reached. To give an example from the Bible, there was a man named Barnabas, a good man, so good that he even joined Peter in hypocrisy.

Would you say he was a good man? If he did not feign, he feared offending others! They were close comrades and had to give each other face. Peter, seeing those who came from James, began to dissemble. There is much grievance and distortion in those who dissemble. For example, within a family, one dares not be oneself, striving to please one and then another, ultimately compromising one's entire life. The sister who shared her testimony today, whom I have ministered to, had absolutely no standing in her family.

I wonder, why was Peter afraid? Where did the mission and task entrusted to him by God go? In fact, Barnabas and Peter can be considered decent Christians. Among Christians, there are many false Christians, false brethren, and the gospel we hear today comes in various forms, but the true gospel is to be crucified with Christ.

To be crucified with Christ is a matter of height. People view issues from their own respective heights, seeing different things. Thus, from your speech, I can discern your altitude. As for my own words, you may not know my height, as looking upwards is like peering into a haze, but looking down from above is very clear. Therefore, height determines one's perspective.

Why am I speaking about I have been crucified with Christ today? Because it is my own personal experience, after much entanglement and frustration. Living is truly not easy! I understand the entanglement and frustration of others, as it is truly painful when one's own entanglement and frustration strike! Later, I continuously elevated my height, and when I shepherded those with similar experiences, I understood them very well.

A few days ago, I called a sister to learn about her situation. She was in distress, not due to material lack, but because a student in the school she managed had died from a cerebral hemorrhage. Such events are not uncommon; even in top universities in the world, there are suicides, which are quite prevalent. Yet, this sister was very distressed, and I told her that it was not a big deal; if a person chooses to jump, no one can stop them.

I want to share good news with her, to encourage her to climb upwards, because I too have been distressed by such events. Thus, Christians have different perspectives and views at different heights, but there is a height that will bring you joy! This joyful height is called being crucified with Christ.

The most foolish thing a person can do is not to realize that they are standing in a very low position. Low means very low. If they think everyone in the world is as low as they are, that is troublesome. If we constantly challenge the height we stand at, our perception of things, our original perceptions, it is difficult not to grow! What is growth? Growth is the growth of height. A person who becomes shorter and shorter, you would not say he has grown. Becoming shorter is called regression, and I do not wish for anyone to regress.

The Challenges and Joys of Ascending Spiritual Heights

When we speak our minds and argue our logic, it is from our own height. It may be a very low height, or it may be a very high height. If you argue with someone of great height, they are too lazy to argue with you, and no conclusion can be reached. To explain to you would be unclear. After explaining, you would not understand either. Why? Because the level you stand at is too low!

Today, I want to push everyone to grow. Growth is key. What is growth? It is making your height higher than before, and then higher still. Your height, your perspective, your perception of things are constantly changing. Height is a critical issue. The height of a Christian in the truth determines your view. I encourage everyone not to argue; it is useless! You can only encourage the other person to grow, to encourage them to explore.

Today, I visited a good friend who has cancer. He is a Christian and loves the Lord. His son shared his view with me that he only believes in science. I do not argue with him; it is useless! Why? Because many things you have not explored or contemplated. Therefore, I can only encourage those with different views to explore and understand. Life is a continuous pursuit and climb, and once you have climbed to the height where I am crucified with Christ, I can only say that the feeling is truly wonderful!

The road I have walked, forced to explore and seek due to entanglement, frustration, and distress. The result of exploration and seeking is not an easy thing, but once you reach that height, I must tell you, it is truly wonderful! So wonderful that words cannot describe it! Do you often feel entangled today? Often frustrated? Is it difficult to resist when frustration strikes? I tell you to choose the path of ascending, to keep climbing!

Several years ago, I read a book called The Sacred Anointing, written by a pastor named Bill Cook. After reading it, I thought that the church he built was so wonderful, and wondered when I could do the same! You could say I was inspired, but it would be more accurate to say I was struck hard. It was painful! Why? Because my height was not enough! In the pain, one day tears streamed down my face, and I could not see the future.

When frustration struck, I knelt down and prayed, and the tears could fill a mineral water bottle. I cried for three hours straight, unable to see the road ahead, bolstering myself each day to get through another. I could not see the future, I could not see hope. I prayed and cried at the same time. Standing at a low height is normal. If you are the same, I understand you.

One day, I suddenly felt a surge of faith, and the next day I fell again. I felt a surge and then fell again, like riding a rollercoaster. Later, as I prayed, God gave me a revelation, urging me to read The Final Quest. I had read it many times before but had not understood it. Upon hearing God's words, I read it again, and I saw a passage about the path of ascending. Suddenly, I received a revelation: I must climb the spiritual heights, I must know the truth.

There was a passage in the book that said, I have been crucified with Christ (Galatians 2:20). These words were good! I wanted to die and be with the Lord, and so I started down this path. I did not know how long it would take, but I persisted every day! I persisted! I came out of knowing good and evil, climbing upwards step by step. From that day until today, the situation has completely changed. This situation is that my heart is suddenly enlightened. If you ask me what it is, I do not quite know. But that day, I suddenly realized that I had climbed to a spiritual height.

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)

The Wonderful Experience of Ascending Spiritual Heights

Why? Because that is how Rick Joyner described it in The Final Quest. He said that after climbing to that level, one suddenly feels that the place is very good, and the vultures and demons that cause frustration cannot reach this height. The arrows of the devil cannot reach there either, and standing at this height to shoot the devil is always accurate and very far-reaching.

Climbing to that height remains today. You may not understand, but I hope that everyone can feel that wonderful feeling with me. That feeling is so beyond my ability to describe in words. I can only say it is wonderful! So wonderful that words cannot describe it!

I wondered, how could so many people not know? I must tell everyone today, I am very excited. Later, I opened The Sacred Anointing again and found that I had walked the path of church growth described in it! Then the church entered a very healthy path of growth. What you see today is the effect of ascending spiritual heights. If you and I have this ambition to be crucified with Christ, you will say as I do, it is wonderful! So wonderful that words cannot describe it!

I want to give everyone a suggestion, I suggest that everyone begin to thirst. At this height, your heart will be very open and happy, and there is a state that ordinary people cannot understand. There was an old man near me who later brought a fortune-teller and talisman writer to find me. That person had been in the hospital for ten months, had spent a lot of money, could not move his legs, and had difficulty walking. After I prayed, his legs were healed.

This friend introduced me as someone who can reach the three realms. I do not know what reach the three realms means, but it sounds good. My understanding is that I am an enlightened master. How did I become enlightened? It is because I reached the height of being crucified with Christ. If you ask me what is the best thing? Being crucified with Christ is the best thing! Sometimes when you tell me this or that, I feel that what you say is terribly low. It is not because I want to strike you, it is truly terribly low.

A person's mood is a very good meter. The degree of entanglement and the intensity for something is a judgment of your height. For example, some people are entangled by money, some are entangled by interests, some are entangled by their company, some are entangled by their job, and some are entangled by the things of this world. Then I must tell you that your height is too low!

People in human society are arranged like a pyramid. Christians must never be Christians at the bottom of the pyramid. People at the top of the pyramid have many resources, while those at the bottom have no resources. Some people describe it this way: 20% of the people at the top of the tower own 80% of the world's resources; 80% of the people at the bottom of the tower own 20% of the resources. The feeling at the top of the tower is completely different from that at the bottom.

I am saying these things to achieve a goal: I want what you think to be the same as what I think! If this is the case, it would be wonderful! The problems a person encounters in this life are related to height. This is the concept I want to convey.

Scripture

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)

Prayer and Background Analysis of the Scripture

God! Open the spiritual eyes of our brothers and sisters today. Inspire us to continually climb this spiritual height. Let us all reach the height of Galatians 2:20. Let us all be crucified with Christ, so that we can strike severe blows to the kingdom of the devil, so that we are no longer confused by the lies released by the devil, and no longer distressed by the attacks of the devil. Today, we will imitate the Apostle Paul, so that we can obtain the secret in any situation, obtain joy, and be content, fully believing in Your promises and allowing us to fully obtain the benefits of this gospel! In the name of Jesus Christ! Amen!

Background of the Scripture

The background of this scripture is that Paul was facing a state of confusion caused by the Galatians being misled. What kind of bewilderment did they suffer? It was a very strange bewilderment. They originally believed in the Lord very well, and there was great power of God, the Holy Spirit, and miraculous events. Many people took the path of believing in the Lord.

Later, a group of people like James, Peter, and Barnabas, who were well-known, came. What they said did not agree with the truth, so Paul deliberately mentioned this incident in Galatians. Being well-known does not necessarily mean having the true doctrine, why? Because we cannot clearly define what fame is. However, being well-known is not necessarily linked to the gospel that is truly preached.

The purpose of the Apostle Paul writing Galatians was to bring the Galatians out of this bewilderment. That is why he spoke of Galatians 2:20, and why he spoke of me being crucified with Christ. Because being crucified with Jesus Christ is very effective in dealing with the evil desires of the flesh. Christians rely on faith, allowing the Spirit of God to operate among us, and we will continuously climb the spiritual heights, always climbing to the height of being crucified with Christ. Because this height of being crucified with Christ can very effectively solve the difficulties of our lives.

Before the salvation achieved by Jesus Christ on the cross came, the Israelites recited the books of Moses in various cities and synagogues, from Genesis to Deuteronomy. To what extent did they recite? By the time our Lord Jesus came into this world, those who recited the Pentateuch of Moses, as they recited, crucified Jesus, and they did not even know that He was the Lord. Why could they read the Bible and still crucify Jesus? Because they read it wrongly.

Can we read the Bible today and crucify Jesus? Yes! Even those who followed Jesus went astray. Paul led the Galatians to believe in the Lord and establish a church, but a few people with some reputation came and said a few words and they believed it, regardless of whether the gospel was effective.

Today, I want to tell everyone that if the Pentateuch of Moses were effective, why would Jesus come? If it were through the law, the death of Christ would be in vain! Therefore, believing in Jesus produces an effective gospel. Our brothers and sisters must carefully consider a question: look at the churches and believers around us, and you will find that as they believe in Jesus, it becomes ineffective. Look carefully at these Christians, and you cannot see the image of Jesus in them.

Why? The history of Christianity was corrupted by the devil not only from Moses to Jesus Christ, but also from Jesus Christ to the Apostle Paul. From the Apostle Paul to today, we often make a powerful gospel ineffective. This is what we often see.

The Relationship between Effective Gospel and Spiritual Height

Today, I visited a brother who has cancer. He has believed in the Lord for many years and loves the Lord very much. Will believing in the Lord well prevent cancer? There is no such promise in the Bible. If there were, it would not be a good thing, and who would believe?

Therefore, the background of this scripture is that an effective gospel has become an ineffective gospel. Can Paul not be angry? Because Paul loved the Galatians very much, he wrote Galatians in a very vulgar language. But it does not matter, because there is a passion for Jesus Christ in Galatians.

Today, what could be the reason if we turn an effective Gospel into an ineffective one? It's no longer built upon the foundation of faith. A person who believes in Jesus Christ must know that our crucifixion with Christ is a spiritual height. If you have not yet ascended to that height, it is very normal to be deceived by demons and to be troubled by them. Because what the Bible speaks of is truly a different height, bringing about different effects.

We can experience God's power as soon as we believe, but we cannot remain at that height. The Book of Galatians was written in such a context. We must remember that an effective Gospel turning into an ineffective one is a problem. If our brothers and sisters are afflicted with various diseases, the most basic reason is that our flesh has not been crucified with Jesus Christ. The effect of this is that wherever is not crucified with Jesus Christ, that place remains carnal.

Therefore, we must continuously conquer and occupy territory in our own lives until we are completely turned to Christ. Once we are completely turned to Christ, it is called being crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me! Living this way, it's hard not to be joyful!

The Root of Our Problems Lies in the Flesh

From a medical perspective, a person is alive as long as their heart is still beating and their brain is still functioning. If the heart stops, the person dies. Everything, whether scientific or not, that falls under such a discussion is carnal. Today, the root of our problems truly lies in the issues of carnality. For example, why do we struggle and worry about work? Because we feel we cannot live without work, linking living to work. Why do we worry about business? Because we think we cannot survive if business is bad. Why do we think we cannot survive? Paul says:

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!” (Galatians 2:20-21 NIV)

The root of our problems is carnality. A carnal person cannot please God. What does it mean to be carnal? It means that his thoughts, methods, and everything else are viewed from a carnal perspective. For example, if we get cancer and develop a malignant tumor, how did it come about? Then we come up with a whole bunch of explanations. What to do? Cut the tumor out, do chemotherapy, not only to kill the cancer cells but also to kill some normal cells. We are all thinking within the realm of the flesh.

How does cancer really come about? How does ankylosing spondylitis come about? How do diseases really come about? When we look at it from Jesus Christ's spiritual perspective, there is a different explanation. This is not a matter of explaining or not explaining, but which is more effective. A carnal person naturally produces a series of carnal reactions, living entirely within the logical system of this life, because once the flesh dies, everything dies. But if we live in the flesh because Jesus Christ lives in us, then it's easy to handle.

Crucified with Christ: The Fundamental Way to Solve Problems

The root of the problem lies in carnality. Therefore, the Book of Galatians speaks at length about sowing to the flesh reaping corruption, and sowing to the Spirit reaping eternal life. The desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh. If we walk in the Spirit, we will not gratify the desires of the flesh; if we gratify the desires of the flesh, we will reap corruption. So, these carnal methods are basically ineffective, but using the methods of the Holy Spirit to solve problems is very effective.

But using the methods of the Holy Spirit to solve problems is very effective. The most important work of the Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit contending with the desires of the flesh, mortifying the deeds of the body through the Spirit, and crucifying us with the Holy Spirit. Whether in Galatians or Romans, this view is discussed, so this view is crucial. Everyone must not think that believing in Jesus is to gain eternal life. Everyone must understand this matter clearly. It is not by faith that we gain eternal life, but it is by faith that the Holy Spirit can mortify my flesh, allowing my carnal things to be crucified with Christ. After my spiritual height is reached, I will be very effective in fighting by relying on the Holy Spirit, and a series of reactions will also occur within us.

For example, we say someone has high emotional intelligence. The thing of the flesh is the source of emotions. The more carnal a person is, the more emotional he becomes. A person who has crucified his flesh with Jesus Christ, relying on the Holy Spirit to crucify his carnal passions and desires, has had the root of his problems solved. So everyone slowly ponder, why do we fear and worry, taking the things of the world so seriously? Because it is carnal.

The Fundamental Solution is to Be Crucified with Christ

Is being crucified little by little or all at once? This is the process of recognizing spiritual truth. In the process of climbing spiritual peaks, as described in Rick Joyner's The Final Quest, this is an arduous process, and crucifying the flesh is a very miraculous thing. In the process of spiritual warfare and climbing spiritual peaks, I discovered a very miraculous thing, which is that everyone among us will be healed. Some people will question, is it true? It's true, that's what the Bible says. Why have some people not been healed yet? This process of healing is in climbing spiritual peaks. Because some people are crucified with Christ, we can completely defeat the devil in the spiritual battlefield.

Why are some people not blessed in their finances or health? Why do these problems exist? This is a carnal problem. In this area, everyone can no longer shortchange themselves but must begin to overcome their flesh. Some people say, The fundamental way to solve problems is to be crucified with Christ. I have already been crucified with Christ! Look, when I pray for so-and-so, they get better. That's not because of you, it's because others invoke the name of Jesus. Before Jesus was crucified, the spiritual level of the disciples Jesus led was very low. That state was far from being crucified with Jesus Christ. Jesus trained those disciples to go out to heal the sick, cast out demons, and preach the Gospel, and the demons were afraid of them. But Jesus said, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven (cf. Luke 10:20).

So don't think that just because your prayers are effective, that's how things are, this is not particularly related to your spiritual height. Why do I say this? In the letters of the Apostle Paul, it says, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize (cf. 1 Corinthians 9:27). Being crucified with Jesus Christ, that is the fundamental way to solve problems.

Climbing Spiritual Peaks: The Call to Be Crucified with Christ

The fundamental solution to problems is not that your prayers are effective for this or that, but that we ourselves must constantly climb spiritual peaks, which is the height of being crucified with Christ. There is a demon called Old Ma, which is very powerful in the spiritual realm and should be a general under Satan. Wherever you are carnal, Old Ma has authority over you in that area. Today I encourage our brothers and sisters to begin pursuing the height of being crucified with Jesus Christ. This height is what Paul said:

Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. (1 Corinthians 9:26-27 NIV)

That is the fundamental solution to our problems. Today, if you are often troubled and often frustrated, I encourage you to start climbing this spiritual height. If you read Rick Joyner's books, you will find that in the previous stages, the process of climbing upward is very difficult, because carnal people must constantly climb upward to deal with their own carnal problems. The fundamental way to solve problems is to be crucified with Christ. I know that many of our brothers and sisters have a love for God, but your spiritual height really needs to be elevated, and what you say doesn't really sound like it's coming from a spiritual peak.

We often have this or that kind of distinguishing between good and evil popping up, so today we still have many areas to deal with. Many people speak from a carnal perspective, from the logical system of Old Ma. So, today, if you have already been crucified with Jesus Christ, then you are great! I have an expectation, that is, every one of our brothers and sisters can be like Jesus Christ, every one of our brothers and sisters can be like the Apostle Paul, every one of our brothers and sisters can be crucified with Jesus Christ, able to thwart the schemes of the devil and the enemy.

Becoming People Like God

Think about it, if Christ lives in us, won't you become a divine person? Because Christ lives in us, Christ is with us. Why will everyone among us be healed today? Because Christ is with us, there are many brothers and sisters here who are willing to be crucified with Christ. We thought we were at a disadvantage, but actually, we got a great deal. Christ living in us will manifest the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead in us, and we can do what Jesus Christ did.

Why is it that many Christians today cannot be healed no matter how much they touch things randomly when they get sick, and they cannot be healed even when they see a doctor? Because they are not Jesus, and they cannot touch Jesus even if they want to! There are few people in this world who are crucified with Jesus. If a person is crucified with Jesus Christ, someone touches them, and their bleeding stops, their eczema heals, their insomnia gets better, and all kinds of diseases are cured. But one cannot touch through the Internet, but it doesn't matter if one cannot touch, one can still hear. Therefore, I think the most scarce kind of person in this world is someone who is crucified with Jesus Christ.

In my early years of believing in the Lord, I longed to be like Jesus, and today I am finally a little like Him. People who are close to me are blessed in their finances and health. Isn't this grace? Do you all owe me a favor? I'm not trying to impose any moral obligation on you, don't take it seriously. In my early years, I was troubled, uncomfortable, and struggling, so I embarked on the path of ascending heights, but today I don't need you to repay me this favor, I just need you to run this path of ascending heights with me, so that you yourself can obtain the benefits of this Gospel, so that this Gospel becomes a powerful Gospel, so that this Gospel becomes the reason for our living in this world, this is our life, this is our Mingding Destiny. From now on, we are united with Jesus Christ.

Becoming Divine People: The Call and Mission to Be United with Christ

We say in our Lord's Prayer: For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever! From now on, we will change this saying, because we are united with the Lord Jesus Christ, God's power is my power, God's glory is my glory, and God's honor is our honor.

The Bible says that God is the God of Abraham, and God's name is linked to Abraham. How does God describe His name? God says I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob. Today, link our names with the name of God, and God's power, honor, glory, and authority will be manifested through us. We are to become a blessing to this generation. Whoever encounters us will see the power of Jesus Christ.

Today, when I ministered to this brother and shared with his family, my tears almost came down. I told this brother's family that I could not watch this brother continue like this without doing anything. I wanted to do something. I wanted to manifest the grace, power, and glory of Jesus Christ in him. I love this brother very much. I have shared many testimonies of service among us. I very much desire that this brother can also climb spiritual peaks like me, be crucified with Jesus Christ, no longer live in the daily trivia, and begin to become a person with a Mingding Destiny. Although this brother has cancer, God still has a wonderful plan for him, and healing is certain.

Because the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead will be manifested, that is, people can be resurrected even after they die. How is it possible that people who have not died will not live? Today we tell God that my flesh lives because Jesus Christ lives in me. Won't we become people like God?

Summary

Longing to become a divine person, longing to become a person with God's presence, longing to become a person united with God, believing in God, the Gospel and salvation accomplished by God are very effective. Can we declare with the Apostle Paul: May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. My whole life belongs to God. We tell God that from now on we will live for God, and our eyes will look at this spiritual height. We will no longer live in narrow-minded selfishness.

Do you long to live out God's glory? Then start running this glorious road that is set before us. Do you hope to obtain the benefits of the Gospel? Imitate the Apostle Paul and crucify the carnal passions and desires on the cross by the great power of the Holy Spirit. Do you want to obtain rich rewards? The Gospel itself is an extremely rich reward.

Once, when I was ministering until dawn, a sister called me and said excitedly, Teacher, do you know? A prophet gave a prophecy, saying that there is an unnamed church, and everyone in this church is like Jesus Christ. I was very excited when I heard this, that is what we are talking about. Although the person who gave the prophecy does not know where we are, God knows. Another prophet also gave a prophecy, saying that in the future a group of people will be raised up, they will do very great things for God, they are all like Jesus, they believe in God, they deeply love God, and they are willing to give everything for God. I was very excited after hearing this, and I said to God, God, this is talking about us!

Today I tell everyone that I hope that the prophecies that God has given through these prophets will be fulfilled in every one of our brothers and sisters, may God's glory fill the whole earth because of this group of us, and may we enter into complete unity with God. This is our life, this is God's great plan for us. May God personally accomplish this plan in us, this plan must be accomplished, Amen! May God bless everyone!
