Introduction

Good morning, everyone. Today, I will continue with the series on the foundation of faith. This is the fifth session, Faith Foundation Series (5): Acting on God's Word. This is very important; it does not need to be argued. Isn't it a practical matter? Today, we will discuss the fifth session. Do you remember what we discussed before? Actually, I'm telling you that listening a lot is useless if you don't act. It's not saying you can't do it, it's saying we haven't acted it out.

Our Chinese expression is very interesting. If you are no good, you are rotten; it means you haven't acted, so you are no good. If you can't act it out, you are just no good. Do you want to be a not-so-good Christian, or do you want to be someone not-so-great? People forget quickly if they don't act. So, sometimes I struggle. Every week, I speak here, but how much can you gain in the end? It depends on implementing it. Some people say to me, Teacher, I used to be so good at riding a bicycle, but now I've forgotten. Can you forget that? I say, You must be joking; you never really learned it. Teacher, I used to be so good at swimming, but now I've forgotten. I said, You were just practicing on a bench.

Do you know that practicing swimming on a bench won't make you a swimmer? You have to jump into the water to practice. Practicing in the water on a bench definitely won't work; you'll just sink as soon as you get into the water. More bluffing; always bluffing. You never really learned it; you can't just forget it. Teacher, I used to be so good at writing, but now I can't write anymore. You never really knew how to write, so it's all bluffing. There was a sister who was very interesting: she loved to talk. People from Beijing love to talk; they call themselves Beijing oilers. This isn't a Beijing oiler, but someone who is all talk and no action.

This sister loved to talk and bluffed me during our conversation. Teacher, I used to drive a big truck. Half of the wheels were outside the bridge when I drove over it, I was so good. Later, when I asked her to drive and sat next to her, she said, I can't. Weren't you a big truck driver? In the end, she couldn't even drive a car. I said, Forget it; this is all bluffing. Teacher, I used to lead Japanese tour groups and translate for them. This isn't a truck driver; this person is just full of hot air. When a real Japanese person came, she couldn't understand what they were saying, and the Japanese person couldn't understand what she was saying. It's like our dialect prayers; can you understand them? I can't understand them either. She's just a talkative Beijing person who has bluffed herself into believing she really can do it!

What does this mean? It means she hasn't acted it out. Actually, I'm the same way; I have my flaws. I used to think that building a church was easy. Just preach on the stage on Sundays; I know how to do that. Building a church wouldn't be simple?. They are no good, talking nonsense. I would fall asleep when their are preaching on sundays, so I will do it myself. As a result it turned out that it was not that simle. Anyway, after taking ther plunge, I realized that it was not that simp,e. Splashing around in the water, I choked on a lot of water and almost drowned. It turns out that I'm a good talker myself. After staying in Beijing for a while, I picked up this habit.

Later, people asked me, Why did you build a church? I said, Because they don't preach well, so I'll build one myself. Because? The church wouldn't let me preach on stage, so I built my own stage. Sometimes it's a lucky strike? How is it a lucky strike? I accidentally took the plunge and swam to the other side. I really swam over. Now everyone who listens to me are my die-hard fans.

I used to know a pastor who told an interesting story. He said, There was a swimming pool, and a child was drowning. He was struggling in the deep water. Then a young man jumped in and saved the child. After saving him, reporters swarmed around, praising his bravery. They asked, 'What made you so brave to jump in and save the child?' He said, 'Who pushed me in?' It turned out that someone had pushed him in. Later, he meant that I didn't want to be a pastor, but how did I get pushed into becoming one?

This is how things are; they all come from splashing around in the midst of great storms. Sometimes you know if someone is good or not as soon as they make a move. But whether someone with character is pushed in or jumps in themselves is not important; what's important is that they have character. When I first built the church, it was pretty good: Happy Church, Happy Groups. Later, they were happy, but I wasn't. Why? They ate, and I cleaned up. They ate, and I had to cook. They were happy, but I wasn't. Later, I lost my job and my money; all I had was time.

That's good too. Some people have time but no money to spend, now they have time but no money to spend, but they have God's word. Before, I was busy, writing so many articles and documents, approving files, which was upsetting. Now it's good; I can focus on reading God's word. You have no choice but to read, because there's nothing else to do. The foundation is to act on God's word after reading it. After reading it, I realized that church isn't built that way; church is built this way. There are a few smart choices in my life; I think I'm quite smart, but I've also done a lot of stupid things. But there are a few things I've done very smartly.

The first smart choice was when I was in my twenties and believed in the Lord. I was foolish, but I decided to dedicate myself, even after some calculation. This dedication was great, it was blessed. Don't listen to me finish this, then dedicate yourself, and then doubt when you're not blessed: Teacher, why are you blessed when you dedicate yourself, but I'm not? You have to have that heart. Today, we'll talk about the second smart choice: building a church. After building a church, I realized it wasn't working. I knew it wasn't working, but unlike some people: That's how the church is run; that's how everyone does it; let's just do it that way. That won't work! Church isn't like that. So, I kept adjusting and made the church very simple, just like Jesus.

I not only made this simple, but many things become simple when they come to me. Don't say anything else; I even made the process robot training for multinational corporations very simple. I even talked about it flexibly. I said, Engineers, bring all your problems, and we'll solve them in class. You see how bold I am? What teacher dares to do that when teaching a class? But what kind of result did this smart choice bring? It made things simple, just like Jesus. How can you be like Jesus? Just act on what Jesus says.

Later, I felt that I wanted to make everyone smarter. You know, the church was very desolate in those days. Don't say that I've stayed in Beijing; I'm half a good talker. They quit their jobs and came to me, saying, Teacher, I've quit my job. I said, You've quit your job? What are you going to do? He said, I'm coming to serve in the church. You're coming to serve in the church? That's good. After a long time, I said, Who asked you to come serve? They said, Didn't you ask us to come serve? I said, I didn't ask you to come serve.

At that time, I touched my pocket and didn't have much money. After paying a few months' salary, it was all gone. I was scared. I thought about it again. It seemed like I had bluffed them into coming? I forgot. What was the result? Smart! A smart choice. According to God's word, last time we talked about From faith to faith, today why are we talking about Acting on God's word? Is it action or faith? Silly child, that's not a good question.

Someone asked: Didn't you say it's not about actions? You're confusing me. You were confused to begin with. Did you think you only got confused today? Don't put the blame on me. I often see these confused people; they aren't confused by my preaching, they were confused to begin. Don't think that I'm confusing you; I'm turning you from confused to not confused. That's my job. But you have to listen carefully; don't just listen halfway and not understand.

Today, we will discuss this matter. Acting on God's word after hearing it is a smart thing to do. As I preach, I'm actually preaching God's word. You see, I'm also bluffing pretty well. Don't worry about whether it's bluffing or not. I'm not sure that I use the word of bluffing in a right way. But weren't you frowning when you came to me? Now you're happy. That's a good skill; it can make people happy.

There was a silly boy who left a message on my website. The message was interesting. He said, Teacher, you say the most important thing is this, and then you say the most important thing is that. You have so many most important things; isn't there only one most important thing? The most important thing is only one way to be used here. I said: My few most important things have confused you; it's not me who confused you, you were confused to begin with.

For example, when building a house, I say the foundation is very important. You can't sleep on the foundation; wouldn't that be stupid? The foundation is the most important, but isn't the pillar important? If the pillar isn't good, it will collapse. Aren't the beams important? The beams are also important. With pillars, beams, and a foundation, isn't the wall important? If there's no wall, it will leak wind, right? Then aren't the doors and windows important? They're important. If you live inside without windows, and a wild guy comes in, what will you do? It's a complete system. If you haven't built a house, you won't know. That's why you talk nonsense. I talk about a few most important things, and you get confused. What's so good about being confused?

For example, when building an airplane, aren't the wings important? Important! Isn't the engine important? Important! Isn't the navigation important? Important! Isn't the positioning important? All are important! Then you say: The most important thing is only one thing, the engine. Then you ride the engine everywhere; will that be good? I'll give you an engine and you can ride it. I'm afraid you'll fly up and not be able to come down. It's like being shot out like a cannonball; enjoy

He's never worked; a silly boy who doesn't work doesn't know. He doesn't know, so he relies on his head to think. His head is small, like a walnut kernel. He doesn't say his head is like a walnut kernel, and he doesn't say: This teacher is great at teaching. If you can't listen to my preaching, how can you listen to Jesus' preaching? So, if you don't act, you'll think wrongly, and if you do, you'll do badly. You just think there, Isn't that being silly with a head like a walnut kernel? So, listen to God's word and act. If you act, you can do it! Isn't that how it is? Listen to God's word and act, and you can do anything. It's about acting! If you just believe, you won't be able to do it.

For example, if I pray and he gets healed, but if you pray and he dies, will you dare to do it next time? So I did an experiment. I said: Come to this place at three o'clock tomorrow morning, even if it's expensive to take a taxi. I'll give you one thousand dollars. As a result, one person actually came, but the others didn't come. The one person who came took a thousand dollars and left. The next day, everyone came and discovered that there really was one thousand dollars. Oh, they regretted it.

I said: Why didn't you come? I would have given it to you too. They just didn't believe! They didn't believe! They thought I was bluffing them. They thought he could come? He had to pay a price in the middle of the night. He thought: Oh, I'll save the taxi fare. He's such a great talker; he's bluffed us all into being church co-workers. He's definitely bluffing us this time too. You see, they don't believe.

As a result, someone actually asked me later: Pastor, when are you doing the experiment again? I'm not doing it anymore! It's not about doing or not doing the experiment; he's thinking about my thousand dollars! Do you think I'm stupid? I've changed my tactic. I said: Shepherd well. They don't believe. They regret it after a few years. If you want to grow, how can you grow without shepherding? I'm letting you shepherd well, and you don't even think it's grace? Do you think I need your stinky tofu to shepherd? They just don't believe. That's not a thousand dollars; that's priceless!

Shepherding is God's word; if you love God, then shepherd God's sheep well! It's foolish not to build a church according to God's word; it's foolish not to implement and live according to God's word. Believing God's word and building a church according to God's word is the smartest thing to do. Do you believe? Look at me; even though you can't see my face from a distance, I'm definitely smarter than I was ten years ago. If you follow me, it's hard not to be smart.

A few days ago, a sister called me and said: Pastor, I've become smarter recently. I heard it too; before, she was a model of discerning good and evil, but now she knows that discerning good and evil is very foolish. Do you want to become smarter? Yes, then listen to God's word and act. If you do it and do it wrong, you'll know that you didn't understand it correctly. If you know that you didn't understand it correctly, then keep adjusting, read again, act again, read again, act again... then you'll understand; ah, that's what God's word means! Then you'll really understand.

Many pastors read God's word but don't practice it; how can that work? I'm an engineer, so my faith style has an engineer's style. Some people are philosophers by training, so they have a philosopher's style. Some are writers, so they have a writer's style. Writers are a bit difficult; they always Oh, the sun! Oh, the dew! Oh, the distance... It's all about emotions. We engineers count only when we do it. The core is to get this right; if you don't act, you can't get it right. If you don't act it out, no matter how well the document is written, it's useless if you don't follow it. It's not just Christianity; it's the same in every profession. What's the point of writing poetry and essays? In the end, it's still that thing, so you must gradually act it out. Recently, our church's shepherding direction is called Overcoming Difficult Problems, cultivating a character of overcoming difficult problems. The core of character is faith.

The Christian faith is what we call the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are all people with character. If you have character, there are no difficult problems that you can't overcome. Chinese Mingding Destiny has overcome many difficult problems related to faith. Actually, everyone should know that the introduction I gave is a sermon, but this sermon is not so academic, but it has many stories and sounds good. Overcoming difficulties is a very core value of Chinese Mingding Destiny. We, Chinese Mingding Destiny, have overcome many faith-related difficulties. We want to bring about a new era of Christian transformation, restoring a faith that is more in line with the Bible.

So, if a person doesn't act, he doesn't know if he can do it or not. He thinks he can do it, but actually he can't. Today we must know that Chinese Mingding Destiny is a church that acts on God's word after hearing it. This is an engineer's way of thinking, overcoming difficult problems. It doesn't matter if you do it wrong the first time; it doesn't matter if you write a bunch of bugs. It doesn't matter if you think wrongly the first time. But I know I didn't get it right; don't give up. One day you will get it right; one day you will understand. It doesn't matter if you're stupid, but you can't stay stupid forever. One day you can become a smart person! Amen!

It doesn't matter if I'm stupid today, but I can't stay stupid forever. I want to become a smart person! A person named Carnegie was great. When he was poor, he made a painting. It was painted by an unknown painter, but the painting was well done. It was a ship that had run aground on the beach, biting the sand hard, motionless, but there was a line of small characters below: One day the tide will rise. This is a character!

Back when I built myself the church, I told you what my character was. People said: Pastor, I didn't come last Sunday. I watched the church that has good stage lighting, drums, sound, worship... the enviroment i very good, and my heart sank. Look at their stuff and look at our stuff that's too shabby! Oh, it's really hard, and I felt very uncomfortable after listening. But in my heart there is a character, although I am not good today there will be a day I am good. As a result, in my faith, I want to build the best church in the world, and I want to be the best pastor. Let's be humble, but here is still a little distance. This is a character.

Listening and working on what God tell us, is being a smart guy. For some time we discussed five foundational series, one of which is People live by every word that comes from the mouth of God. All the words are from the start of a word, and are start word by word. So today, everyone must know the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step and we will arrive at the destination one day.

One time, I taught a child this child wasn't stupid with 2+3=8, it wasn't easy for him to understand. Don't think that I'm joking because the school taught it bad and the school didn't teach it clearly the child got pushed back in progress, then I picked it up. Then i taught him things easy. Do you know why it was much easier for me to teach him? All numbers start from 1. If i teach 1 it becomes easier right? This 2+3=8 is because he learned 2 without learning 1. If he is jumping so soon he will be a mess. Then I said how many are these: only 1. What is 2? I will show you with some hand signs and then he will understand.

Everything starts from one and thousands of miles start with the first step. Our church all starts from a humble beggining. Is this not our English Bible study group? Then there will be English preaching. Then I will use English and lead worship, I am very bad I know. I have done that early but in my vision and in my faith, I have this character who one day will climp to the top of the mountain. This is Chinese Mingding Destiny's character!

Our Bible study, preaching and lessons, the foundation is to act on God's word. I often say to everyone to make everyone be smart, this is because it is acting towards God's word! I want to challenge a bit, what have you done? What have you done in this year? What have you done within a month? You don't like that and you become more silly. You don't like face and like to brag, that becomes more troublesome.

If there are any questions, can I use Spanish, I would have to restart studying, but just let me study long enough. Do you want to want to become someone smart? There are people and teachers who dream of that. You don't have to dream, you just have to put in the effort, listen to God's word and go and do it, and that becomes someone smart. Let's look at the scriptures.

Scripture

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” (Matthew 7:24-27)

Prayer

Lord Jesus, may you speak to us today for it is by your spirit to fill you will us with the spirit and lead us to the truth. Lord, open our spiritual eyes and let us become a smart person. Let us have faith which makes us listen to your words and listen. Lord remove us from those hypocrite who make us go the wrong way and let us choose to have your words to do with it. Despite the difficulties, we must go. This is to follow Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Lord, In this generatinn, may the god of you shine from our bodies shine in this humble shine to buikd the you clurious church to make god in this generation reveal your praise.

This passage's background

Do you know Matthew?, it took many years later I preached Matthew with you. Why Matthew? Matthew is no easy. Later I wrote the Bible Study book of Matthew as The two kingdon and two pursuits in life, there will two results. This passage is Matthew's 7th chapter. If we divide Traditional Matthew chapters. the 5th, 6th,7th are called the Mountain treasures. then it says

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 7:13-21)

Did you understand? What do you mean by dying and going to heaven? Where are you going? Only those who do the will of my Father in heaven will enter.

Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’”

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” (Matthew 7:22-27)

Where does the therefore come from? The first point is that only those who do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. Many brothers and sisters say, I have already received grace and been saved. What do you mean by receiving grace and being saved? It is to diligently observe and practice. What have you diligently observed and practiced? If you act according to God's word, what have you done? Oh, I won a lawsuit. What does winning a lawsuit have to do with acting according to God's word? It has nothing to do with it. Therefore, there is much confusion among Christians! Diligent observance and practice is because of faith. Therefore everyone who hears God's word and puts it into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. To do the will of the Father, you must know what the Father's will is and how to carry it out! Second, Jesus used the following passage:

Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles? Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ (Matthew 7:22-23)

Jesus said, I never knew you. Jesus used driving out demons as an example. In fact, these people were also faking it when driving out demons. How do we know they were faking it?

“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. (Matthew 7:15)

How can we tell if they are ferocious wolves? Look at their results, look at what they build. We see that the churches they build, although they have the name of a church, are fake inside. They also drive out demons and perform miracles in the name of Jesus Christ. They do everything, but they are wolves in sheep's clothing. They are fake. False prophets only do the superficial work of God's word. Why do they only do the superficial work? Because doing the real work requires paying the price. The churches built by those who play false, although they have everything, lose God's will, and bear bad fruit.

This kind of situation is quite common. According to the Chinese Mingding Destiny theological system, the trouble is great. Everything is fake, even driving out demons is fake. The core problem is that they have done it, done it wrong, but are not willing to change, because changing is too much trouble. Today I tell everyone that we must have the appearance of Jesus. Without the appearance of Jesus, everything is in vain. What kind of fruit should we bear? We must bear the appearance of Jesus. Don't bear the appearance of a Bodhisattva. If you believe in Buddhism, you should act like a Buddha. If you believe in Jesus, you should act like Jesus. I often say that if you want to seek a faith, then do it well.

Each time we must measure whether it is the appearance of Jesus Christ. What exactly do God's words and God's will say? We must make it clear. Why did Jesus use building a house to illustrate this matter? Because building a church is like building a house. After it is built, it must be able to withstand the test. The things inside people are very chaotic. They say a lot of nonsense that God has not said. Once I was on the phone with a brother, and I said that the spiritual atmosphere here is changing. As a result, this brother said to look at these issues from a political perspective. In fact, many Christians in government agencies have these problems. I corrected them, but no matter how much I adjusted them, they would still often reveal these problems.

Many Christians have this view, especially those who are politicians and officials. What is the result of what they do? What are they building? In fact, I have a set of views on many issues, but I always follow what the Bible says. For example, someone said that he wants to be a missionary. He is only doing missions and preaching the gospel. Once I was with a group of people preaching the gospel on the street. They were pursuing how many people could make a decision prayer, but what is this decision prayer worth? After the decision, so what? I have many views on these things.

The father of one of our sisters has Alzheimer's disease. I told her how to serve her father when she went back. This sister said that her father was fine, that her father had already made a decision prayer. My goodness! What is a decision prayer worth? They think that decision prayer is going to heaven after death, but where are these teachings in the Bible! I almost got rid of the worship and praise in the church, because I didn't see Jesus with drummers and guitarists singing, dancing, and shouting on the street! I didn't see Jesus with a group of doctors prescribing medicine, and I didn't see Jesus building a church there to do these things; they were all done later.

What is even stranger is the doctrine of the family. Now many churches are transmitting the family. I really can't find this in the Bible. I sympathize with those pastors who preach the family doctrine. It is very difficult to preach these things, because you can't find these scriptures in the Bible. The Bible is God's will, and God's church is to build the church, but people are building families. I have some negative views on building families. The Israelites destroyed their country by building families.

Some time ago, a pastor cried bitterly. Why did he cry bitterly? He said that he used to put God first, ministry second, and family third. He said that he had neglected his family, and that he wanted to repent, to put God first, family second, and ministry third. What is putting God first, and then putting serving God third? What kind of logic is this? I think he might as well put his family and wife first! Where does this concept of promoting the family have any theological foundation? It is completely without theological foundation! Those who are constantly promoting the family, I dare to boldly say that in the end they will see God's judgment.

But even after seeing and experiencing it, people will still try to look good. What is that if it is not fake? Is that hearing God's word and doing it? It is not! It is hearing God's word and not doing it. It is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. Many people are like this. Isn't it very simple what God says! Building a system of faith is like building a house.

So in fact, to this day, the church really has no competitiveness. For example, one of our sisters has depression. She makes a phone call and calls each person on the church's phone book, but none of them provide service. Later, she called me, and I answered. I answered it myself, I ministered to her, and I released her from the bondage of the devil. So what are those churches doing? Don't those churches drive out demons? What did they drive out? In the end, they drove all the demons into themselves. They have no customer service, no nothing. It's not even interesting to surpass them.

I want to say that this passage is talking about being wary of false prophets. Playing false is like a foolish man! If you want to build a church, let's do it for real. Yes, I don't know if it was the right or wrong choice to go into business and build a church. I just did it blindly. But if a person has the right attitude and works hard to implement it, how can he not see God's presence? So I am filled with emotion today. Of course, I also encounter many sensitive issues. If you are a family-centered person, you cannot be a disciple of Jesus Christ.

Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man

Which words? These words that have been said before. That is, don't play false, but hear God's word and do it. If you hear God's word and don't do it, and then find many excuses, isn't that troublesome? The previous passage also talked about looking at the results. A good tree bears good fruit, and a bad tree bears bad fruit; a bad tree cannot bear good fruit, and a good tree cannot bear bad fruit. After we are done, we look at the fruit and it's not right. I planted a melon last year, but this year it is a bitter melon. We look and see that we planted it wrong last year and took the wrong seeds.

Someone said, No, this is a melon; the church is like this. What is this called? It is not willing to admit that it has done it wrong. This is no different from calling a deer a horse. It is clearly a bitter melon, but how can you say it is a melon? This is clearly not Jesus Christ, not the church of Jesus Christ, but you insist on saying it is the church of Jesus Christ. Isn't that a mess? When Chinese Mingding Destiny theology sees that it has not done it right, it quickly changes!

Some people ask me, How did you get COVID? Why can't I get COVID? I often make mistakes, okay? So when I got COVID, I repented all day long. What did I repent of? Oh, I didn't do this part right, I didn't do that part right, I reflected on many things. The problem is that we are not afraid of making mistakes, we are not afraid of anything, we are only afraid of continuing to be stupid and continuing to make mistakes.

For example, if I write a program and it can't run, is that okay? There's a bug! If it doesn't work, there's a problem! If I make a phone and it keeps crashing, can I sell it? I can't sell it. So we correct it when we make mistakes, we correct it when we make mistakes. It's a very simple principle. If you don't do it, you can't know what you don't know. So be sure to avoid being self-righteous. Those who build the church must avoid being self-righteous.

If you make a plane that can't fly, or it can fly but can't come back, aren't those all problems? That is, we have to do things right when we do them. Constant adjustment requires great courage! No one does it right the first time! So to do the will of the Father, you must first read, then do, then read again, then do again. Those of us with an engineering background can easily understand this. If you say I am a housewife and can't seem to understand, don't you cook? If you cook it too salty this time, will you put that much salt next time? If you clean this time and you see that you didn't clean well, don't you know to clean things up? So building a church cannot be self-righteous!

So what exactly is God's will? God's will is the church. Today brothers and sisters must know that the entire New Testament of the Bible, God's will is the church. It speaks of the church, and the Book of Revelation speaks of the victorious church. If building the church is not victorious, it is like this; can you say that it won't suffer losses? In the end, it is a false prophet! False prophets will be thrown into the lake of sulfur and fire to be burned! Why does he do false things when he is a prophet? Why make counterfeit money when printing money? Why build a fake church when building a church? Why be a fake Christian when being a Christian? Because doing the real thing requires paying the price!

So today, everyone who hears God's word and puts it into practice is like a man who built his house on the rock, and this rock is God's truth. Your results will tell you! So when building the church, I tell them, Everyone among us has been healed.

Some people challenge you! But why do they challenge me? That is what the Bible says. How difficult is it to have God's presence for people? It's not difficult!

Everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man

Everyone who hears these words and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. After it is built, does it have the appearance of a house? Yes! It has the appearance of a house, the appearance of a church; it is only outwardly the same. Even driving out demons is fake. Have you driven out demons? Yes! Is there healing? Yes! Is there deliverance? Then who have you delivered? Who have you healed? Where is what you healed? Show it to me!

If someone does this to me again, I will definitely ask you. How are the people you shepherd doing? Where is what you shepherd? How do you shepherd? Explain it to me! Are you just doing it blindly? There are many who do it blindly! Where is it? Why? People do it for the sake of face; it's fake, it's just for the sake of face. For example, Christians are like this. There are many Christians like this.

If some of our brothers and sisters are sick, then your pastor, or me, will definitely minister to you. If not, type in this group, and I tell you, I will definitely arrange it. But especially those English-speaking brothers and sisters I have met, I will pray for you! When you see her next month, When did you pray for me? I prayed for you when I told you that day! What about later? I forgot about it later! What kind of people are these! Playing false! They are only outwardly the same!

You know, once I went to minister to people, and their ministry had a strange characteristic: when they prayed, they all fell to the ground. Why did they fall to the ground? I don't know. I don't understand. They think that when the Holy Spirit comes, you have to fall to the ground. It has become a habit. They are used to falling! It's like lying on the ground for a while to rest! I said, Have you rested? We have rested! Then let's get up! Later, it was my turn to minister. I don't do that when I minister. What do I do that for? I said, Everyone who has a disease that has not been healed, raise your hand! Goodness, many people raised their hands! Almost everyone raised their hands.

Then I said, What did you all fall down for just now? Can someone like me not offend people? Of course I will offend people. They are falling down, and I am getting up. What did you fall down for? It's useless! They think falling down is useful. As a result, they were all sick. That day they exhausted me. Through our ministry, many people got better, especially those with lumbar and cervical spine diseases got better quickly. As a result, the pastor brought a person with depression who was oppressed by the spirit of the dragon. It was a very stubborn spirit, a very frantic one. He only said one sentence: In the name of Jesus Christ, devil, get out. Then he handed it over to me to minister. I was thinking, if you are going to do it, then do it all! You gave it to me halfway. This time, I cleaned it up. The demon was afraid of me. If you play false, can the demon be afraid of you? As a result, after an hour of cleaning, the demon was completely defeated by me, and she got better. In the days that followed, that sister who had gotten better especially wanted me to go on stage to speak.

I think, brothers and sisters, let's not play false. If you hear God's word and don't do it, playing false is deadly; it will kill you. Why is it so difficult to do God's word? They say: Doing God's word is so tiring! If I neglect my wife, my wife will be unhappy. What should I do? It doesn't matter if I neglect God; God won't hold me accountable. Listen to these words, playing false is really deadly. Whether it is a charismatic church or a traditional church, anything that is not like Jesus is deadly. It will take your life. Do you understand? To be at odds with God, to play false with God, do you know? You know. Are you afraid? No. You are afraid of everything, but you are not afraid of God. In the end, you will play with your life. So, brothers and sisters, this is really deadly!

There is a church in Taiwan that has many photos of healing and deliverance meetings. We thought there were many healing and deliverance activities. As a result, one sister said that she was from that church. We asked her why she didn't ask the pastor to pray. She said: Our pastor doesn't even know who to ask to pray! Tragedy! I said: Aren't those activities in the photos all done by you? She said: They are all fake, just for show. It's a waste of time to do healing and deliverance. Can you take care of your family well? The family is so important! Later, she came among us and received much deliverance.

Even doing healing, driving out demons, preaching in the name of Jesus Christ, driving out demons in the name of Jesus, and performing miracles in the name of Jesus are all fake. False prophets, how can there be anything real! So, a person who hears God's word and does not do it is playing false. Aren't you afraid? It's too late to be afraid. Does everyone know what I mean? There will be no more chances to be afraid.

Summary

Be a wise man! I testify to everyone with all my heart, urging everyone to be a wise man, to be a person of character. To do God's word and to read God's word is really not difficult! A pastor of a church often says: You have to be careful when you pray for others! Don't lay hands on them, or you might get demons on you. Where does the Bible say this? No! I don't believe in this evil. I said: The Bible doesn't teach this; you are just teaching nonsense yourself. So after reading God's word, you must read it, you must do it, do it and read it, read it and do it. Spiritual words explain these spiritual things. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Moving forward one word at a time will surely lead to doing God's will.

Today, brothers and sisters, do you have this faith? When we do it once and don't do it right, we do it a second time, until we do it right. One day we will do it right. This is called character. I hope that all of our brothers and sisters have my character. If you want to build a church, build an excellent church. If you want to build, build a church that does God's will. Build the church according to God's word, build it on this rock, and do God's will. Why are we willing to do God's will? Because I have preached a set of logic. Does everyone know this set of logic? Life is empty, utterly empty. We have seen through all the petty things in the world. They are nothing great. So we yearn to receive the blessings in eternity, which is to be a blessing to many people.

What we are preaching today may not be completely in accordance with the Bible. But compared to the traditional and past things, it is becoming more and more in accordance with the Bible. Today, brothers and sisters, continue to run forward, constantly renewing, knowing God is endless. Will we encounter difficulties? We will definitely encounter them, but we will definitely overcome them, because our God is the God who leads us. Will we have no conditions? Yes, but it doesn't matter if we have no conditions; we can create conditions. We may have the Red Sea in front of us, but we are not looking for a few boats to cross over. God will surely open this Red Sea and let us walk through the Red Sea as if we were walking on dry ground. I am speaking in a metaphor. Constantly doing new things, constantly expanding, constantly seeking, we will surely know God's good will.

Our minds are renewed and transformed. Our hearts are constantly being renewed and transformed. We do it and do it again, and God's glory will constantly be manifested among us. What a wonderful grace! Do brothers and sisters know? God is the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob. Now that we have reached this generation, God is your God and my God. Your name and my name are connected with God's name. Because we are people who imitate Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, we are a group of people with great character. If a person is born blind, it doesn't matter; God can make the blind see, and God's name will be glorified. Whether a person is born lame or becomes lame later, he can stand up and walk, and God's name will be glorified! Amen?

I used to be very timid and afraid to speak, but now I have mustered up the courage. In this generation, we are going to bring about a new era of change. This change is to hear God's word and do it. Those things that are not in accordance with the Bible, that have absolutely no basis in the Bible, must be eliminated one by one. Even if it is difficult to do, we must do it, because the light and momentary troubles of this world will achieve for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all, Amen!
