Introduction

The most serious problem with man is that he does not do what God says, and does what God does not say. Today, I will share with you the sixth part of the series on the foundations of faith. What is a foundation of faith? It is a foundation. As I have told you before, the foundations of many theories are a premise, or an assumption. The title of this talk is very interesting, it is called We Do What God Says.

The most difficult job in the world is that of a president. Among the presidents of all countries, the President of the United States is the most difficult to be. It is not only difficult to be elected, but it is even more difficult to govern. With the Senate and the House of Representatives, it is too difficult to accomplish anything. Some people say that the first most difficult position in the world is the President of the United States, and the second most difficult is the pastor. But they are all wrong. The simplest job in the world is that of a pastor and a prophet. Their job is to do what God says, it is as simple as that. Why is it difficult to be a pastor? I will tell you, it is because he does not do what God says; God tells him to go east, but he goes west; God tells him to chase the dog, but he catches the chicken. How can he not be tired?

Today I tell you that the job of a pastor is the simplest. You do what God says. It is very simple for Christians to be blessed. You do what God says. Many people believe in the Lord, but they have to do their own thing, which is a bunch of rubbish, just being silly. The most deadly thing about man is being self-righteous. A self-righteous person is terribly foolish. Why is one self-righteous? It is because one thinks that is the truth, but it is not what God says.

The greatest prophet in the world is Moses. He is great not because he solved the problem of world peace or won the Nobel Prize, but because he only did one thing right: He did as God commanded him. Is this complicated? Not at all. How could it be complicated? The complex things are all taken care of by God, and the simple things are left to us. It works when we do according to God's word. What God says will surely work, it is not complicated at all, but many pastors have made this uncomplicated thing so complicated.

Samuel, the greatest prophet alongside Moses, was the same. These people all simplified complex problems. How to simplify the matter of living? How could it not be simple with God? Some people look very tired and bothered, and it is bothersome to listen to them through the screen and the internet. I tell you, it is not easy to simplify a complex problem; it is very easy to complicate a simple problem. Isn't it easy to make a person's life smoky and chaotic? Just mess around.

It is very simple to operate a car, but it is not easy to make a car that can run and run well. If you want to make a car that cannot run, it is very easy. Just do it casually, and it will not run. So today we need to know that the reason why Moses became the greatest prophet is that he did one thing right: he did what God said. You ask him, Why did you do this? He would ask back, Why shouldn't I do this? You thought you would ask, Moses, why did you do this? Moses answered simply, Why not do this? You can't answer it either, this is my choice.

Many years ago, I had a simple dream inside me - I wanted to be a great prophet, I wanted to be a great prophet alongside Moses, which is not difficult. Don't think it is difficult. This dream is extraordinary, but it is very simple. I read the Bible and made this matter very simple. I did one thing right, which is to do what God says. After you have followed me for a while, you will find that this guy is quite powerful! He does what God says. Isn't it a very simple thing to do what God says? Why do so many people make it so complicated?

A few days ago, I thought that we pastors have to stock up, don't we have to stock up on our speeches? So I went online to stock up. I searched left and right, looked left and right, and looked at the sermons of others. After listening, I had a feeling that many of the things they said were not what God said. Maybe I didn't understand it very well, or maybe they spoke too profoundly. The things they spoke were more profound than what Jesus spoke. I didn't know what they were talking about? I didn't understand it, and as a result, I didn't stock up on anything. Although I didn't stock up on anything, I did stock up on a little bit. He said, If a person suffers from depression, you have to learn to make fun of yourself. Does making fun of yourself work? If making fun of yourself works, we all learn to make fun of ourselves. How to learn to make fun of yourself? It is not easy to learn. There are a lot of Mother's Day and Father's Day, and I don't know what they are talking about? I didn't understand it after listening for a long time. You need to know that if I didn't understand it, it means that he didn't explain it clearly enough.

I found that people don't like to talk about what Jesus said, and what they talk about is their own stuff. After listening, I was confused! There is no system, and most importantly, there is no effect. If that pastor is a woman, many of the things she talks about are old women's stuff. I don't know why she talks about these things? They don't prepare their speeches, they just stand there and talk. I am so professional, my speeches are written word by word, do you want to see them? They don't prepare well, they just go up and talk, talking about grilling a steak, peeling an apple, all that stuff. Let me brag a little more, you often listen to what I say, and after listening to that, it seems that you can't listen to it anymore.

Why can't you listen to it? Because you have become smarter. When you hear this thing, it is incoherent, the theme is not clear, and the discussion is all over the place. If you use a painting as a metaphor, it seems to be painted with a pig's nose. After you grow up, you establish a system of God's word, and then you will find that it is not too difficult. But the things they talk about are too scholarly and too difficult, but the things we do are very simple. We do what God says, it is as simple as that.

Today, I will share with you the sixth part of the series on the foundations of faith, which is that we do what God says. Isn't it very simple? This kind of thing is not an argument, it is a choice. It is a choice to listen to God's word and do it. Man lives on every word that comes from the mouth of God, that is a choice. So sometimes when I preach, I say: Buddhists, you should be good Buddhists. Whether you are a Buddhist or a Christian, you have to explore seriously, that's all it is.

Some people say: You can't say that. What, can I grab Buddhists to listen to me talking about the Bible? That won't work, they won't do it. We can't do that. There is a law of religious harmony. We don't do those things. We Christians, it is a choice. It is a choice for man to live on every word that comes from the mouth of God. With this choice, we simplify the very complex problems of life.

Our God is a very good boss. I tell you, after being a boss for a long time, you have to learn how to assign work. When this work is assigned, you have to tell the employees what to do and how to do it, explain these things clearly, and after a while, you come to check: Hey, this is not what I said, I said do it this way. This is a good boss! Our God is a very good boss. He has made it clear what to do, how to do it, and what the results will be. He told you long ago, just do it. After doing it, you see the results are the same as what my boss wants, the same as what God wants. What to do and how to do it are all explained clearly. Our God is not like some bosses who do not explain clearly what to do and how to do it, just like some pastors preach on the stage, not knowing what they are talking about.

But even though he didn't explain it clearly or explain it clearly, he said: I just want a result. How hard the employees are? Employees are very hard to follow such a boss. There was a pastor whose subordinates came to me because they were struggling. He pastored thirty people, and his pastor said: No matter what, we have to increase to sixty people by the end of the year. After listening, he asked the pastor: Boss, how can we get sixty people? The pastor said: I don't care. Kidnapping? Recruiting? What to do? That's easy, sixty people are easy: make dumplings, roast chicken, roast duck, and braised beef to invite people over. There were sixty people that time, and then there were no more people. I thought how hard the employees were. The problem is that we have such a good boss, but people don't do what He says, aren't you a tragedy? Some people die without knowing how they died, and still think that they have indeed done God's word. How do people make such a simple problem so complicated?

These few days, I was patting my head: Oh, why is such a simple problem made so complicated? Later, I understood, it turns out that they have their own set of things in their hearts. This set of things is not what God said, it is what they made themselves,拍脑袋拍出来的 (invented by beating their heads). So they hear it wrong, they think it wrong, and what they say is very complicated and not systematic. If you do it this way, can it not be complicated? For example, Jesus laid hands on people and they were healed. As a result, when they got to the church, the church brought in a psychology PhD, brought in personality tests, brought in a lot of things. You need to know that it is not easy to get a PhD in psychology. It takes twelve years of general education, four years of university education, two years of master's education, and four years of doctoral education.

Don't say, I have really seen it. He gave me a lot of questionnaires, and I had to answer them seriously. After finishing them, he made a report for me and calculated it. After calculating it, he looked at me in disbelief: Hey, you are not an ordinary person, not a normal person. That's right, I am a divine person! Can your psychology test me? I am joking. I said this thing, and it makes this thing very complicated. Actually, we just do what God says. When did God let us get a psychology PhD? No. When did God let us do these things? I don't know what he calculated those things for. He was also very hard, doing it for a long time, like 八字 (fortune telling).

Do you want to be the greatest prophet? I tell you, God has made this thing very simple, which is that you do what God says. The greatest prophet is such a simple thing. If you want to do it, the difficulty lies in that you have to dismantle the things inside you. Why do people have their own set of things inside? I tell you what that set of things is, that set of things is why do people live? What do people live on? What do people want? These questions are actually very sharp and very straightforward.

If what you want is not in line with what God says, you can't go on, how can you do it? You do what God says, there is no such thing. So when God says something, you doubt: Can it work? In the end, is what you rely on what God wants you to rely on? Are you doing what God wants you to do? If not, when God speaks to you, you will hear it wrong and think it wrong. Even if you read the same Bible, you will have completely different understandings, which is a very strange thing.

That is, we all read the same Bible, but we read completely different things. It depends on what people want inside, whether they see through it or not? So if you want to be a very great prophet, like Moses, who does what God says, that is not easy. People listen to God's word but don't do it, they do their own thing, they talk about their own thing, and they are not afraid. They are very brave. I think this is the root of tragedy. That is not the greatest prophet, that is the greatest false prophet. A good tree bears good fruit, and a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree will not bear bad fruit, and a bad tree will not bear good fruit. Isn't what he bears deadly - he can't bear a great prophet, he bears a great false prophet.

Not long ago, a church issued a large poster for a healing and deliverance event. We looked at it and thought that this church was good, the poster was very beautiful. Then, a sister came, full of sickness, and came to us. I asked: Which church are you in? She said that she was in that church. I said: Didn't you just receive a poster some time ago? Isn't your church doing a healing and deliverance event? She answered a word that made me puzzled. Of course, I didn't have time to verify whether it was the case. She said: Our healing and deliverance event is not for the people inside the church, it is for the people outside the church. I said what kind of logic is this, I don't understand!

This thing is not unique. Some time ago, there was another thing that I couldn't understand. A sister came to us with a lot of sickness. Because our healing and deliverance is very effective, and our Bible study is very good, and the healing and deliverance effect is also very good. She came to us, and I said: Where is your pastor? Our pastor is going to a healing and deliverance special meeting. I said: Your pastor is going to a healing and deliverance special meeting, then you go! She said, I can't go! I asked why, and she said that the event was prepared for outsiders. I said this is also evil, what is this! What logic? - Ah, it is easy to collect money from outsiders.

For outsiders, you can charge a fee for holding an event. For insiders, you can't pay the fee like that, you have to give an offering. We also don't know for sure, but we don't care about three or seven ones, we will get her right first. As a result, this sister came and was healed soon. After she was healed, her pastor died of cancer. I said this thing, what is this logic? I still don't understand it. It seems that healing and deliverance is for outsiders. This肥水不流外人田 (rich water does not flow to outsiders), how can it only flow to outsiders, how great!

Brothers and sisters, today I tell you that we have encountered an unprecedented great change and great opportunity. This generation needs a new generation of Christian transformation - we do what God says. It is such a simple thing, and it still needs transformation, and I am also surprised. What kind of transformation, is to restore those absurd Christian beliefs that are going to die, to a pure gospel - restore the power of God, and let the glory of God fill the whole earth through the glorious church of God.

We have received an unprecedented opportunity, dare to do it? If you dare to do it, do a big one! The desolate generation will pass. This is not difficult! The difficulty is believing, do you believe in God's word? The difficulty is our choice. This thing is not difficult, because this is God's will. God has long been looking for someone who can be used. Maybe He has been looking for a long time, found someone, but this person doesn't do it, and then found another person but doesn't do it... Because they feel that it can work? Later, He found me, and I will do it! Absolutely do it, what a great opportunity!

Later, I found a person in the Bible, and this person is called Moses. Because God has found us, I have to find someone to learn from. This Moses is amazing, he did a big thing. Moses is amazing because they did exactly as God commanded them. Later, I found that the Book of Exodus has been talking about how God commanded Moses, and Moses did as he was commanded. God commanded, and Moses and the Israelites did it. This word is good!

Scripture

Moses and Aaron did so; they did just as the Lord commanded them. (Exodus 7:6)

Prayer

Moses did something unprecedented, amazing! We are going to do something unprecedented. Today we pray with longing. This is not my business, I can't do it alone, if there is no you, this dish will be ruined, today let's all come together. In this generation, God has specially raised up the Chinese to do this thing. So today we must all enter into God's plan and enter into God's will, we will do what God says. Let us pray together:

God, today put such a revelation in our hearts; God, today put such a burden inside us; God, we know that you are raising us up in this generation, raising us up so that we can enter into your great plan; God, you are going to do unprecedented things in this generation; God, we are the vessels in your hands, today use us! God, we choose to be like Moses, you command us, and we will do it!

God, this generation needs your glory, this generation needs your presence, this generation needs the victorious and glorious church; God, encourage this small group of us, let this small group of us be willing to offer ourselves. You command us, and we will do it. God, what a blessing! We actually have such an opportunity and honor. God, we can actually receive your grace and receive your election to enter into your plan; God, today we present ourselves before you, may you accept us and use us. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

The Background of This Passage

The background of this passage is very miraculous. Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three years old. They were both eighty-year-old men. Why didn't He find a young man? Because young people still have a beautiful youth, these eighty-year-old men are good! If you are an eighty-year-old man, congratulations, because you have taken life and death lightly! The soil has already buried half of you. So God said: You go to see Pharaoh, the King of Egypt. Ah, see Pharaoh, the King of Egypt? If he gives me another bottle of poisonous wine, I have to drink it even if I don't want to. I go to see Pharaoh, isn't that courting death?

Later, Moses really went to see him, and as a result, the situation of the Israelites became worse because of Moses' arrival. Pharaoh, the King of Egypt, not only did not give them grass, but also asked them to make their own grass and make the same number of bricks. How hard it was! The Israelites complained to Moses: Aren't you putting us to death? At first, God asked Moses to go, and after going, this was the result.

God said to Moses again: You go to see Pharaoh. After Moses went, he said to Pharaoh: This year I will take these laborers away. If you take all these laborers away, who will do the work for Pharaoh? Aren't you asking a tiger for its skin (to seek skin from a tiger)? How could Moses be so bold? I wondered what Pharaoh was thinking: Where did this street loafer come from, strolling around to my place? Drag him out and behead him! No one will ever say again: I will take the Israelites out! Isn't that normal?

Would you go to the Emperor of China and say: 秦始皇 (Qin Shi Huang), give me this piece of land, and I will take these millions of people away. Can you do that? Aren't you asking a tiger for its skin? It's a very high risk! But here comes the problem: Who are you afraid of? Do you think Moses is stupid? He knew everything about the Egyptian Palace. He saw one person being executed after another, executing a person like pinching a grasshopper. Moses knew it was a very high risk, but why did he still do what God commanded him?

I tell you all, He is not foolish; he had a go at it before. Moses was on his way to Egypt with his wife and children. Moses was quite old, his wife was not young either, and the children were not small. As a result, they were halfway there when God asked Moses to circumcise his son, but this matter could not be implemented. Why? His wife disagreed. He said, God, what should I do if my wife disagrees? This son is not mine alone, he is ours, so let's forget it. As a result, God wanted to kill Moses. Moses learned a lesson from this. What lesson did he learn? When his wife saw that God was going to kill Moses, she picked up a knife and circumcised his son.

Moses learned a lesson from this incident and was no longer afraid of his wife but chose to fear God. Later, when he arrived at Pharaoh's place, were you afraid of Pharaoh or afraid of God? You can't afford to offend either side! Let me tell you all, it is not easy to be a small country; you can't afford to offend the big countries! Big countries and big countries basically don't dare to fight too hard; if they fight too hard, there will be a nuclear war, and no one will survive. Small countries can't do it. This one pinches you, and that one pinches you, so just live like this! Who told you to be a small country!

Moses' job is not easy! If someone gives you a job and asks you to touch a tiger's butt, would you touch it or not? It's difficult to touch it, and it's difficult not to touch it; they want to kill you! Moses is not easy! Moses figured it out: anyway, you're going to die sooner or later, so touching it might not kill you, because that's what God said. Today, we are also touching a tiger's butt. Let me tell you all: Do you think a new era of Christian transformation is a joke? Whoever does it will die! It's not a joke; it's not easy. Anyway, God has already called Moses, whether you touch the tiger's butt or not, this matter has been entrusted to you. God! I fear you, you are powerful! You are awesome!

On this side is God, on that side is Pharaoh of Egypt; on this side is God, on that side is my wife; I fear God. Wouldn't God crush me like crushing an ant? If God protects me, Pharaoh can't do anything to me! Maybe if you do that, you'll die; if you're not afraid of God but afraid of Pharaoh, you'll die; if you're afraid of God and not afraid of Pharaoh, you won't die. You have to figure this out! God has chosen you; once you disobey God, it's fatal! You must have reverence for God in your heart! In fact, this Moses is an eighty-year-old man who doesn't care much about his life. He has been henpecked for so many years and bullied by his wife quite miserably. All these worldly dreams have been shattered.

As a result, he married a wife, Zipporah, in this lifetime, which was quite unlucky! His wife accomplished a great mission, which was to let Moses see through the essence of life, so be it! What else can you do? Just live with your tail between your legs. Therefore, there is a bit of a sense of mission in his heart. When he was a prince of Egypt, he wanted to save the Israelites, but later all his dreams were shattered. Isn't this broken? When it's broken, it's free, and then he takes life and death lightly. What tiger's butt, lion's butt, or whatever butt? Touch it! Rush forward! So, it's not that he doesn't have confusion in his heart. He said in his heart, God! The Israelites don't listen to us, how can Pharaoh listen to me? If Pharaoh doesn't listen to me, what if he wants to kill me! Oh, well, let's do as God says! It's better than dying immediately now. This is the background of this passage.

In fact, it is not difficult to act according to God's words! If you figure this out a little bit, it is the Spirit that gives life; man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of God. We live by every word that comes from the mouth of God; if we don't rely on every word of God, wouldn't we die! Hearing God's words and acting on them is the wise thing to do, just like building a house on a rock. The problem is with people who understand it for a while and then don't understand it for a while; that's troublesome.

In fact, it is not difficult to act according to God's words. Moses said in the scripture that these words are not difficult to do; the way of God is not difficult to do; it is in your mouth and in your heart. This is a portrayal of what Moses thought in his heart, so Moses did the right thing. Later, I felt that I could also try it. Moses can be the greatest prophet, and I also want to be a great prophet. People like me are tired of living. In fact, there is only so much to living; how boring, why not do something big! What to do? I will do as God says!

Moses did a great job, so I will copy Moses. How Moses thinks, so will I. Moses is the greatest prophet in history. Parallel to Moses is Samuel. They both did very well! Moreover, later I figured it out: God has already explained what to do, how to do it, and the construction plan is all set. Everything is there, and not only do we do it, but God also helps us do it. After it is done, the reward is still ours. This deal is very cost-effective! For example, when entering Canaan, God fought for us in the front, and we just gesticulated in the back. After gesticulating, we still get the reward. It's so cost-effective, I wonder why people just don't want it? I hope everyone has faith in God!

The Most Difficult Choice in Life

These characters in the Bible, I am very familiar with them. One day when I go to heaven and see Moses, I want to put my arm around this old friend and have a drink. I am very familiar with him through the Bible. As for whether he knows me, I don't know, but I am a fan of Moses. The most difficult choice in a person's life is to choose between his wife and God. Moses' wife is no ordinary wife. Moses is a son-in-law who moved into his wife's family. Moses married a tigress, because the lines reveal the characteristics of a tigress.

Moses has lived with this wife to the point of stuttering. How did he get the stutter? Because he can't win against his wife. Moses lived with this tigress wife for more than forty years, and he summed up one thing: you can't touch a tiger's butt. In fact, Moses has the Israelites in his heart. After he met God on the mountain, God told Moses to go to Egypt and bring the Israelites out. Moses didn't want to go no matter what he said. Why didn't he want to go? Later, I guessed that Moses was afraid that his wife would disagree and that it would be difficult to do his wife's job. It's a difficult choice!

Moses is a man who has a Mingding Destiny from birth. He had a Mingding Destiny when he was a prince in Egypt, but he was destroyed by his wife to the point where he didn't dare to have a Mingding Destiny. But on one side is his wife, and on the other side is God, how to choose? So pitiful! I thought of many pastors who are also facing this choice in Moses' situation; it's very hard. Although it is a difficult choice, it becomes easy once you are determined to choose God.

In the end, did Moses go or not? He went! Later, Moses became powerful! When he was in Egypt, Moses and his wife often quarreled. I don't know which day they would quarrel, because his wife looked down on him. After the quarrel, Moses sent his wife back to his father-in-law's house. I don't know if his wife just patted her butt and left, or if Moses sent her away, but they parted unhappily. Moses finally had some quiet days! He led the Israelites out of Egypt.

Therefore, choosing between wife, family, and God is very difficult! When some of our brothers and sisters mention this, my head buzzes, and I really sympathize. Do you think it's a difficult choice? It's very difficult! So today, brothers and sisters, you must know that if you choose the wrong one, won't that be troublesome? What if you choose your wife? If you don't choose God, he will do as his wife says; He will not do as God says. What will the outcome be? The ending will definitely be a miserable world. God does not like this. A sister had contact with many pastors, and later she told me, she said, The pastors I have contact with are all like this. All of them chose their wives and did not choose God. I choose God, no matter how miserable or whatever, it doesn't matter! I just want to offer myself to God. The difficult choice in a person's life!

The second difficult choice is Pharaoh or God. What happened in the end? You touched the tiger's butt, and you touched the tiger at home, and it seems like nothing happened! She bullied me all my life, but later I found out that I had God! God called me to do this thing, and later nothing happened. Didn't his father-in-law bring his wife and children back later? That's it! After touching it once, I became bolder! This time, I started to take on Pharaoh! Is Pharaoh or God more powerful? Is your boss more powerful or is God more powerful? You have to know who is more powerful! If you don't know God, it's troublesome! It is God who controls life and death! The Bible says:

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28)

So today, brothers and sisters, you must know that some people tremble when they mention their boss, but they are arrogant when they mention God. Silly roe deer! So, don't be afraid, what are you afraid of if you have God? Later, some of our sisters were quite temperamental. When the boss asked her to work overtime, she said, No! He said, Why not? She said, I have to go to church. He said, What are you going to do in church? She said, I have to serve! Her boss couldn't stop her either, so she went, and nothing happened!

The people of Israel blamed Moses. Are you afraid of the people of Israel or afraid of God? Remember, if people fear God, they will not be afraid of anything! If a person reveres God throughout his life, he is a wise man. Do you want to be a wise man? I finally found a template! I finally found a model! It's Moses. The people of Israel are quite annoying to watch, but you still have to revere God. God tells me what to do, and I will do it. The ending is that even Pharaoh will have to lie down. People must not do their own thing. In fact, this choice is not difficult or easy; it depends on whether you are smart or not.

God controls everything, what are you afraid of? Your own way won't work. Some people live to be sixty or seventy years old, fifty or sixty years old, and they are confused and blindly doing their own thing all their lives. After changing it for a while, they do their own thing again. That's stupid! What to do? That's his fate! Once you choose the right thing, many things become simple; it depends on what you want. What do you want, why do you want it? This is your fate. What exactly is your Mingding Destiny? Have you seen through it? If you see through these things, the choice is very simple!

Destroy the Things Inside Us

Why is it so difficult for people to choose? It's because we have our own set of things inside. What exactly is that set of things? Slowly and carefully ponder it. The most fatal thing is this. Is what you say what God said? Many things people say are not what God said. Is it reliable? Not reliable. Is there any result? There is no result. Has it been investigated? It hasn't been investigated. Can it stand? It can't stand either. It's just an opinion, just a feeling, just a belief, just an assumption. But it's so difficult to change this thing! It's deeply rooted! You have to dig three feet deep to get rid of this root.

How is that possible? My family is so important! There was a pastor who didn't serve much and cried bitterly: I want to put God first. In the past, I put ministry second and my family third. I neglected my family. So now I put my family first, ministry second, and God third. What kind of bullshit logic is this? I really don't understand! I don't understand the set of things he made up himself!

When I teach people how to pastor, I have a set of things. I learned many sets from the Bible. But when I went to teach, I found that I couldn't teach it! As soon as I taught it, it was all his own set of things. Although he gave me face and didn't say anything, his pastoring had no effect. He continued to do so. Then I said, You are so willful! You have to do your own thing! He did his own thing for many years. Wasting time, wasting life. At first, he didn't agree! He just did his own thing. He did his own thing for many years. His great youth was wasted in his own set of things! The things inside people need to be torn down before things that belong to God can be built. So today we need to know that tearing down those things is based on faith, leading to faith. We believe in God, so we will tear down our own things. Our faith in God is very weak at the beginning.

Zhuge Liang gave Zhao Yun three brocade bags, and Zhao Yun put them in his pocket. What is this? Are you so godly? Forget it, I'll handle it myself. When he really couldn't handle it, he opened a brocade bag and looked at it: Oh, so that's how to do it. The military advisor is a genius! Then he followed the wonderful plan in the brocade bag. When he encountered another problem, he opened another one: Wow, genius! I ask you, did he believe in the third brocade bag? He absolutely believed, because he was completely convinced. Amazing! Today, we are the same. God gives us a brocade bag, and you have to do as it says. Then He gives you another brocade bag, and you do as it says again. When you open the tenth brocade bag, you will be full of confidence. It works!

If you look carefully in the Bible, Moses always did what God commanded him to do, not at all sloppy. Why? He summed up the experience. He did what God said to him, and it has become a habit. If it hasn't become a habit, then it is a stiff-necked people, that is just a donkey. So, brothers and sisters, we need to start tearing down the set of things inside us.

I am very patient when I serve. Some time ago, I asked a brother to lead a Bible study. I explained the method of Bible study to him again and again and taught him many times. As a result, when he led the Bible study, it was still his own set of things. He didn't listen, he couldn't listen. It's not easy! Sometimes I have to encourage him and build his faith. I said, Brother, you have made some progress recently! But I am very anxious in my heart! As soon as he does it, it's his own set. To break the set of things inside us, everyone needs to know that I also broke through it. That is the grace of God! Today, too little has been broken through. If you ask, why can't you listen to what many pastors say? Because you have become smarter. After you have a knowledge of God's Word, you know that he is talking nonsense as soon as you hear it, and that is not God's Word at all.

Build on the Foundation

After tearing down, build on the foundation. This is the faith foundation series. Let's make good choices based on the foundation. Why are people foolish? Because they choose the wrong thing. People often choose the wrong thing. There is a wrong system inside them, and they still think they are right. There are also people who often teach me how to be a pastor. I am humble and listen.

When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do? (Psalm 11:3)

So, if the foundation is destroyed, even the righteous can't do anything. It doesn't matter whether you are righteous or bad. Jesus is our foundation. Do you know how Jesus does it? He does what he sees the Father doing. He also inherits in this way, so we do what we see Jesus doing. This is Chinese Mingding Destiny theology. Do you think it's simple? Yes, it's very simple.

I taught you in the course: If Jesus presses it once and it gets better, if I press it once and it doesn't get better, then I press it ten times; if it doesn't get better after ten times, then I press it a hundred times; if it doesn't get better after a hundred times, then I press it ten thousand times. It's okay if it finally gets better, isn't it just that it didn't work well at the beginning? Today we want to do what Jesus did. Isn't this a very straightforward thing? If you believe in Jesus, just do what Jesus did. If you believe in Buddha, just do what Buddha did. If you believe in Bodhisattva, just do what Bodhisattva did. If you really can't do it or that set doesn't work, you can try my set.

We do as God commands. This is a very important choice and a very important foundation of Chinese Mingding Destiny theology. If you take family as the foundation, there is no discussion about it in the Bible at all, that's not what God said! Constantly promoting family, and in the end, even pushing the pastor into cancer. If you observe carefully, why do many church pastors get cancer in their old age? Because they always promote family, not build God's glorious church.

If you want to build God's glorious church, why do you promote family? Promoting family altars, good mothers, and good fathers are all these things. If they can explain God's Word in the Bible clearly, I will listen to them. I am very straightforward. The problem is that I have not found a theoretical basis. God does not say that in the Bible. We in Chinese Mingding Destiny theology put more effort into reading God's Word than ordinary churches. On the matter of acting on God's Word, we listen to what God says and we do it, and many people can't compare to us.

I have nothing to be arrogant about. If I want to boast, I will boast about our God, because this is God's will and God has done great things among us. We have systematically discussed God's Word and systematically implemented it. As a result, we have produced fruit, and this fruit will see God's glory dwelling among us. We read God's Word to a very deep level, and then we never compromise on our actions on God's Word.

So in this generation, God wants to use us, raise us up, and become a blessing to all nations, bringing about a transformation in a new era. Actually, it's not a new invention. It's just a few simple sentences in the Bible, grasping those very fundamental things. In everything, you need to know what God says and know what God commands. Our foundation is Jesus Christ. So some people think, This church does healing and deliverance, it seems to be the most orthodox. Although it is a charismatic church, it is the most orthodox charismatic church. We don't have those smoky things, because we carefully implement it according to God's Word. If we have things that are not implemented well, we will definitely change them. There are definitely many things that are not implemented well, and we will change them.

Summary

In everything, you need to know what God says and what God commands. Then God tells us what to do and how to do it, and we will implement it well. We have not done any great inventions. It is just a very simple thing: we do what God says. No excuses, no reasons. This is our foundation and our choice. So, brothers and sisters, we need to gradually and surely know: We do as God says. This is an extremely rewarding thing; not doing as God says is a very risky thing. Today, we need to break down those things that we are born with, which are very corrupt.
