Introduction

Good morning, everyone. Today, I am going to share with you a challenging topic. Why is it challenging? It is the last lecture in the series on the foundations of faith, “Rebuilding the Foundations of Generations of Destruction.” This series of messages aims to establish the foundations of our faith. Many things cannot stand without a solid foundation. This series will bring shock and far-reaching impact in the spiritual realm. It is a revolution in the faith of Jesus Christ in the new era, so that God's will may be satisfied. We must rebuild the foundation of the church that has been destroyed for thousands of years. Hearing these words, you may think that I am being audacious and daring! Don't think that I am full of confidence, actually, I mustered my courage several times before daring to speak.

Besides what we see in the church, there are a series of absurdities and myths in the church. The organ, worship, singing hymns, choir, Christmas programs, and countless rehearsals that I just mentioned—are these the foundation? I really didn't see Jesus do that. Jesus was a very focused person. He didn't bring a large group of doctors, drummers, guitarists, or a large group of singers. It was all Jesus doing everything alone. Jesus didn't even have a prayer team. But these people spend so much time on things that are absurdities and myths in the church.

Many concepts need to be rebuilt. The concept of salvation needs to be rebuilt, the concept of the church needs to be rebuilt, the concept of shepherding needs to be rebuilt, and the concept of healing and deliverance needs to be rebuilt. We must return to the teachings of the Apostle Paul, return to the example of Jesus Christ. I have mustered the courage to say this, why? Because Jesus supports me, and Jesus' heart wants to be satisfied. Today, I can boldly say to everyone, today, can we see God clearly with us? Yes!

Why is God clearly with us? Because we have done what is in God's will. We will not pray for the economy of this generation, nor will we pray for world peace. We don't care much about these things. What do we care about? Releasing the person who is oppressed by demons, releasing the person who is oppressed by demons. Actually, I tell you all, God let me say this many years ago, but at that time, I was fearful and didn't dare to say it. I held it back for several years, which made me very uncomfortable, can you understand? I often hesitated whether to say it or not.

Once I told someone, and the Christian looked at me with wide eyes: Christian reform, that was done by Martin Luther. He thought Martin Luther had finished it. He looked at me with a puzzled face: Who, who are you? Fortunately, I didn't grow up with him since I was a child, otherwise, my old background would have been revealed: Aren't you the carpenter's son? Fortunately, I am not the carpenter's son, but the blacksmith's son.

Every time I think about being born into this generation and being used by God, my heart is filled with excitement and trembling, because this is a high-risk thing. Hearing God's words and not acting on them, isn't that trembling? I really don't dare to neglect God's words in the slightest. Although I have been dragging this for several years, I still have to say it, I am especially moved. The brothers and sisters in our church are blessed, saving so much trouble. A person is sent to the hospital, and after half a day of tossing around in the hospital, seeing, doing, and isolating, do you think staying in the hospital is like staying in a hotel? The hospitalized person is tired, and the caregiver is also tired. With a patient in the family, it is almost overwhelming.

Our brothers and sisters are blessed! Saving money and trouble. Because God is here, God's will is never to send down diseases. My former church group member brought her sister and younger sister to me yesterday. Her sister had a lot of gauze wrapped around her foot because of a bicycle accident, a slight fracture, and torn ligaments. When she went back, she could walk normally, and the gauze was no longer wrapped; when she came, she wore one shoe, and the other foot wrapped in gauze had no shoe, and she even bought a pair of slippers when she left. When I was ministering to her, grabbing her foot, some people said: Aren't you disgusted? It's a lie to say I'm not disgusted, but I have to do it.

The brothers and sisters in her church didn't take her younger sister to pray, but when they did, she fell and fractured her bone. Logically, her church should take care of her, but no one did. What's going on? She told me: Every time I go to church, I fall. I was surprised: Her younger sister is also a Christian, and she came to me several years ago because of shoulder pain. I prayed for her, and she was healed. After she was healed, she went back to her local church. Over the years, many places hurt again. I said: What did your pastor do? She said: The pastor doesn't care, the pastor cares about worship and praise. Her whole body aches everywhere, her ears are ringing, her nose is not working, there are so many problems, it's really helpless.

So she came to me again. There's a demon living in her buttocks. Imagine, a demon living in your buttocks wriggling all day long, how annoying! But no one cares. What is this church doing? I was also surprised that she continued to go. If it were me, I would rather build one than go. She had been a believer for more than ten years. As I sent her away, she said to me in the car: Pastor, after so many years of believing, I have only gradually understood that this church has been a church recently?

Today, we must begin to rebuild the foundation that has been torn down for generations. This foundation has been destroyed throughout history, and today we must rebuild it. I hope there are thousands of churches like Chinese Mingding Destiny in this world. We give out without caring or being stingy, just hoping that in this generation, God's will can be satisfied.

What does the church do? What did the pastor do? What kind of visits did they make? What did they do? If I were their boss, what would they be bluffing in front of me? A few questions would knock them down. What did they visit? Show me the records, what were the results of the visits? Were the visits that should have been made made? What are you doing so far away? Make a phone call and pray, isn't that the end of it? Look at how efficient we are! You can be in Taiwan, in Canada, anywhere is fine.

Some time ago, one of our brothers got kidney stones. We prayed over the phone like this, and the stones came out. He took a picture of them, and they looked like gems, very shaped. The church doesn't do anything, just collects offerings. I am very surprised by this. Is this the church? Is this God's will? This is not God's will. Why is the same Bible read like this?

Many years ago, I had a dream. In a half-sleep, half-awake state, I saw a vision. I saw many people walking in, looking like a group of people in suits and ties, well-mannered. I said: God, who are these people? God said: These are all pastors. I said: What are they here for? God said: They are here to learn from you. Ah? I was very surprised myself because our church is in a transitional stage and looks very desolate, just starting.

A few days ago, I had another dream. I dreamed of a pastor, a very influential pastor, coming to me. His nose was sunken, and his eyes had no pupils, all white. When I woke up, I felt, oh, this dream is too... You know, seeing a person with no pupils, all white, is disgusting, and half of his nose is sunken. My God! Of course, this is a dream.

I hope that in this generation, the foundation of the church will be rebuilt, and the foundation of the faith of Jesus Christ will be rebuilt. Our church should be a blessing to many people. Chinese Mingding Destiny is not after people's money, but to satisfy God's will. Actually, I can tell a lot of such stories.

Some time ago, a sister and a brother came to us, full of illnesses. I said: What about your church? They said: No one cares in the church. I said: Isn't your church a charismatic church, doing healing and deliverance? They said: No. They have basically recovered recently. A few years ago, I went to a city. People invited me to attend a special conference. I don't like to attend, but since people invited me, I thought maybe there would be an opportunity to serve. As a result, they blew horns, blew horns woo woo, waved flags woo woo, and prayed, crack! Everyone fell to the ground and rolled around. It's all these things. You may not have seen it before, but if you have, you will find it spectacular.

Then they said to me: Pastor, please share something too. I said: I'd better not speak, because if I speak, I will offend people, my mouth is very smelly. They said: It's okay, you go up and speak. So I went up and spoke. I said: Please raise your hands if you are sick. As a result, everyone raised their hands. I said: You pray and pray, wave flags and shout, what are you here for? I am also very surprised, what are you here for? What have your pastors been doing all these years? Do you think I am offending people and my mouth is very smelly when I say this? They were staring at me from below, but that's how I am.

I said: Raise your hands. As a result, everyone raised their hands. I said: We don't have time to treat difficult diseases today, and they didn't give me that much time. Let's treat the easier ones first, such as lumbar and cervical spine diseases. Raise your hands if you have lumbar and cervical spine diseases. My goodness! There were also many people. I said: Okay, line up, and the people in the back put their hands on the shoulders of the people in front, and pray together. As a result, a large group of people were healed at once, and the rest began to minister. After the ministry, a pastor brought a person with depression: In the name of Jesus, demon, go away! He prayed for a long time without success, so he asked me to minister. Okay, I will minister. Later, I really drove the demon out of his body, and I thank God! Because demons basically can't compete with me; when they compete with them, they can't handle it.

I was thinking: This generation needs Chinese Mingding Destiny too much! This generation needs to rebuild the foundation of the faith of Jesus Christ! Since no one is doing it, I said to God: God, I will do it! I will do this thing. Of course, I am fearful, thinking about what to do if I don't do it well, right? I am especially surprised that there are more cancers in the church than outside the church, isn't that strange? I know a pastor, and their church finds one cancer after another, one after another. He seemed very proud when he told me, and I said: When will it be your turn?

If anyone does not love God, let him be accursed. Remember, today I am giving you a strong medicine, if anyone does not love God, let him be accursed. The reason for all problems lies in whether you love God or not! Loving your family more than God, loving your wife more than God, let him be accursed, no need to think about it. So today, brothers and sisters, do you know? I hate such churches, they corrupt people! Not only do I hate them, but God also hates them.

A brother's mother had cancer. She didn't look for her son, she came to me. I prayed for her, and after the chemotherapy, she couldn't eat or drink, and her whole body was so swollen that she was about to die. The doctor said that she would die without chemotherapy, and she would also die with chemotherapy. He thought of finding me. I spent a lot of time praying, and the swelling went down, and the side effects of chemotherapy disappeared. Then I said: Can I ask you something today? I ask you to learn to love God, to learn to tithe. I know you are not a tithing person at all. From now on, follow me and believe in God well.

She was frightened when she heard this. Why? He thought my request was too high. Then she said: I will still go to our church. I said: Hey, you have been in that church for two years, and you still got cancer in that church. You got cancer, and that church didn't care about you. You came to me, and all the side effects of chemotherapy disappeared, and then I asked you to believe in God well, why is it so difficult? If you want to go back, I won't force you, so she went back again.

Two years later, her son called her. The original words were: Lying down, I can't breathe. Sitting, I can't sleep. What kind of brain is this? Just in that church, dare not ask. Later, I prayed again, and she was well again. Then she said to me: Pastor, can I live like this if I believe in God with you? Hey, I said what kind of brain is this! If you don't believe in God with me like this, can you live? Later it was really fatal!

There are many such things! I find that such things are not just a basket, it is possible that there is a container of such things! The prayers in the church that do not receive God's answer are a basket after basket. In the past few years, seeing these things with my eyes, I was anxious in my heart, so I focused on seeking, God, God! Why is this so? Today I tell you, the answer I found is in Isaiah 58. This chapter seems to be addressed to me, very piercing.

Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God. (Isaiah 58:1-2)

Do you think it's a good thing? They are playing a fake game. Read on.

Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours. (Isaiah 58:3)

Can you understand? Prayers are not answered. Why are they not answered, and they don't ask! As a result, God said that they are seeking their own interests on the day of fasting! How can these people's prayers be answered? I tell you all, the foundation is wrong. If the foundation is wrong, what's the use? Nothing will be useful, so later in verses 11 and 12:

And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. (Isaiah 58:11-12)

Today we are going to talk about this passage. We are going to rebuild the foundations that have been torn down for generations. What does God want to choose us to do?

Is it not to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? (Isaiah 58:6)

Isn't this what God wants us to do? Aren't we called to be priests of God? How could it be like this?

Scripture

And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. (Isaiah 58:11-12)

I tell you, this is talking about us. This place will be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not. That refers to the word of God, and the amount of the word of God among us is very large. Those who come from our Chinese Mingding Destiny will build the old waste places for a long time. You will rebuild the foundations that have been torn down for generations, and you will be called the repairer of the breach and the restorer of paths to dwell in.

We must know that this passage in Isaiah 58 expresses the heart of God! God has seen the corruption of this foundation with His own eyes, and God's heart is really hurting. Why are people so stupid? Why can't they understand? We hope that more people can wake up! Brothers and sisters, the destiny of our church is not to build a small church, the destiny of our church is to be a blessing to people on earth. Bless one more church and bless one more, bless two more churches and bless two more... because this is God's will.

You know, sometimes when I see these things, the needs of so many people in the church cannot be solved, and I feel sad, really sad. Sometimes I hope they can understand the word of God, so I share the word of God with them again and again. So the hatred in my heart is the same hatred as God, do you understand? We must have the mind of Christ Jesus in us. I hate these absurd but self-proclaimed orthodox gospels, very absurd.

Where did these things come from? They all come from the desires in people's hearts. Brothers and sisters, now we dare to speak boldly. In the past few years, through reading the Bible, I have stripped away the sanctimonious things on Jacob, Peter, and others, leaving them without a single piece of clothing. I will further develop this passage of Scripture. The Apostle Paul said this in 2 Corinthians 11:

For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles. (2 Corinthians 11:2-5)

I tell you all, there is a deep meaning in these words. In the days of the Apostle Paul, there were some very muddled people who came to the church to make trouble, and the church became deviated. As a result, after the Apostle Paul left the world, the church went from bad to worse, until today. But I thank God that God is gradually rebuilding the foundation of His church. The six articles we talked about earlier, plus the one we are talking about today, everyone should ponder carefully, so that our faith has a root and a foundation.

Prayer

Oh God, may you raise up this group of people today, in this generation, to satisfy your will! Use us, just as Isaiah prophesied in chapter 58, that this group of people will be raised up, and you will always guide us! In the arid land, satisfy our hearts, strengthen our bones! We shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water that never runs dry! Oh God, those from among us shall rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the foundations of many generations! Oh God, raise us up to manifest your glory in this generation! Oh God, we offer ourselves, placing ourselves on your altar, and you shall use us, in the holy name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!

The Background of This Scripture

A long time ago, I led everyone through a study of the Book of Isaiah, from chapter one to chapter sixty-six. Later, I wrote a book called Becoming Priests of Jehovah. Today, we are priests! Are you a priest of Jehovah? What exactly is your profession? We are priests of Jehovah God, a kingdom of priests! It is a sad generation when priests lose their priestly calling!

Two thousand six hundred years ago, what Isaiah spoke of was referring to this later generation. What is it that led to such a state? It is money, it is profit. A group of spiritual blind men, for the sake of money and profit, even pretend to serve God.

Yet they seek me daily and delight to know my ways, as if they were a nation that did righteousness and did not forsake the ordinance of their God; they ask of me righteous judgments, they delight to draw near to God. (Isaiah 58:2)

But their prayers are not answered. Because they seek their own interests on the day of their fast, their minds are full of profit!

Behold, you fast only to quarrel and to fight and to hit with a wicked fist. (Isaiah 58:4)

You know that the mentality of a priest and the mentality of a merchant are completely different. Brothers and sisters, can you restore the mentality of a priest today? Even if you are still a merchant by profession, your business will prosper! Because God will make priests prosper. But if people are full of profit and strife, it is difficult for God not to make that generation desolate! The foundation is wrong. These things are not the work of a priest.

I often see many people praying for money, praying for business, praying for this and that; all they ask for are these things, even during fasting. How many people seek God in order to enter into God's heart? They read the Bible but don't understand it, their eyes see but don't comprehend, their ears hear but don't understand; why? Because their hearts are blocked by profit. There are plenty of power struggles in churches, but not among us.

So, brothers and sisters, what exactly are people living for today? They just can't see through it. The first lecture I gave was on seeing through life and death. If people see through it, will they still fight for profit? No, because it's meaningless. But if people don't see through it, everything will collapse. The same goes for you; not only will you collapse, but you will also live a miserable life!

In the end, both Israel and Judah were destroyed because of spiritual blindness, and ultimately, it was God's judgment. It's a strange sight! How could a kingdom of priests become so miserable? Why? Because of the pursuit of profit. They originally wanted to live well, but they just couldn't live well; they should have been above all nations, but they ended up being beneath all nations. What God wants us to do is in Isaiah 58:6:

Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? (Isaiah 58:6)

Is it clear? They are not releasing people to freedom, not freeing people from oppression. Those oppressed by evil spirits are not cared for in the synagogues, but when Jesus arrived, he released those who were oppressed. But the people in the synagogues said, How can you do this? Isn't God's will to set the captives free and to let the oppressed go free? How can the church put worship, praise, and singing songs in such an important position? They don't do what they should do, but they do a bunch of things they shouldn't do?

Brothers and sisters, today God's will must be satisfied. God's light must break forth, God's healing must come quickly, and God's glory must be our rearguard. Then God will raise us up in this generation!

And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to dwell in. (Isaiah 58:12)

Those who are spiritually thirsty have ample food here, those sheep who are spiritually hungry and shriveled can receive free food here, to satisfy the afflicted, and God's light will break forth in the darkness. Because in this place there is a group of people who consecrate themselves and delight in God!

Then you shall take delight in the Lord, and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken. (Isaiah 58:14)

This is the background of this scripture.

Rebuilding the Foundations Destroyed Over Generations

Actually, today's message is a summary of the past six messages. The first message was about people seeing through life and death, which is a foundation. If you see through it, you will not be bound by money or profit. Because if you don't see through life and death, you must keep living, and that's troublesome. If you don't see through life and death, you can't go on. If you come among us and don't dedicate your life to God, you can't walk this path; if you come among us and receive benefits, I still have to bring you to the point of seeing through life and death.

It is the Spirit that gives life, not money. People live by every word that comes from the mouth of God. Therefore, we are especially serious about the word of God! We hear the word of God and act on it; we do as God says. A person with cancer was healed here with me, and then said, Pastor, we have been following you to believe in the Lord here, how are we going to live? I said, You have shit in your head. I ask you: is it a disadvantage to live like this and trust in God like this? Not at all.

What will collapse? Nothing will collapse. Because the foundation is built on the rock. If you don't see through it, you will see the matter of living as more and more complex, and you will live a tired life, and it will be difficult to go on. I often receive calls from brothers and sisters who are troubled by finding a job, taking the postgraduate entrance exam, finding a boyfriend, and living; it's all these things, but I am willing to serve them, just to guide them onto the right path. We must see through these things before we live, so that we can live easily. If you don't see through it and live in a daze, what will come to you in the end? I really don't know.

Today I will talk about how this foundation was destroyed, starting with Peter. Peter did not manage his own church well; he did kingdom ministry, running around everywhere. People like Peter went to various churches, and many brothers and sisters gave him love offerings, so he could receive a lot of money every time he went to a church, because his reputation was the greatest apostle of Jesus.

This Corinthian church was built by Paul himself, but Peter ruined it as soon as he arrived. If a beggar who walks in from the street cannot ruin the church, only those who are very famous and confusing can easily ruin the church. Peter claimed to be a great apostle, and the brothers and sisters in the church thought, This title is more powerful than Paul's! So you will find in 2 Corinthians:

Indeed, I consider that I am not in the least inferior to these super-apostles. (2 Corinthians 11:5)

Do you think they are comparing themselves? No! Because this super-apostle stirred up trouble in the Corinthian church and led the Corinthian church astray. What good did it do him to lead the Corinthian church astray? Because he wanted to pursue his own reputation. When he got there, people asked him what the way of Jesus Christ was, and he had to tell them, but what he said was different from what the apostle Paul said. Isn't this creating confusion? You say that this is not the church that you, Peter, built, so what are you doing there? Since he went, he had to put the apostle Paul down. Peter spoke so nicely, unlike Paul, who spoke so vulgarly and often cursed people. The apostle Paul defended himself, saying, Indeed, I consider that I am not in the least inferior to these super-apostles. Though I am untrained in speaking, I am not in knowledge.

How easily the foundation is destroyed! The apostle Paul's indignation toward these people was God's indignation. Because the apostle Paul had betrothed them to one husband, to present them as a pure virgin to Christ, but someone came to make trouble. I want to tell you that Peter and James have not done anything serious, and Paul is talking about this Peter. Today you reflect on which category you belong to? Would you make trouble if it were not for your own benefit? It's just that you can't see through it! Even if Peter sees through it, Peter's wife doesn't see through it!

Many officials are originally clean officials, but their wives become corrupt officials behind their backs, don't you think? Priests are originally priests, but their hearts become skewed as they serve, because the foundation is not strong. If the foundation is not strong, they can't figure out the matter of living, and they don't know that people live by every word that comes from the mouth of God. This hypocrisy and nonsense started with Peter. Today we must know for sure that we must have the mind of Jesus Christ in everything, and not seek our own benefit! If you seek your own benefit, it is a very troublesome thing.

Delight in God

It is a tragedy for priests to become skewed as they serve. Brothers and sisters must know that there is no choice in being a Christian, just as there is no choice in being an official and serving the people. If you become skewed as you serve, you will go to jail, and some will even spend their entire lives in jail and die in prison. It's not greed for service, but greed for money, but can money bring life? No! So brothers and sisters, delight in God!

In the past few years, I have not seen many pastors who delight in God, but of course, I am one of them. You will find that people who delight in God have a characteristic: they always have time. Have you seen my service? My service is that I always have time. No matter how busy I am, I can always squeeze out time to serve. Why? Because I delight in God. Where does your time go? You can try to consecrate your time and see what God will do in you. My foundation is God, I delight in God, so I often have time, and I can put down anything, but I will not put down serving.

This scripture is very interesting:

If you turn back your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight and the holy day of the Lord honorable; if you honor it, not going your own ways, or seeking your own pleasure, or talking idly; then you shall take delight in the Lord, and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken. (Isaiah 58:13-14)

If priests don't know how to live, who will they teach to live? If priests find serving God a burden, how can they serve God? Can they not serve to the point of getting cancer? Today ask yourself, where does your time go? Do you really delight in God? If you delight in God, you must have a very strong foundation. What exactly is your goal? Our goal as priests of Jehovah is to shepherd the flock of God and to do the duty of a priest.

The church will become a place to serve people, shepherd people, and help people grow; the church will become a place where everyone gives out, not seeking their own interests. If everyone does not do their own business, does not follow their own desires, does not say their own words, and delights in Jehovah God, what will happen? God will surely make you ride on the heights of the earth.

Yet they seek me daily and delight to know my ways, as if they were a nation that did righteousness and did not forsake the ordinance of their God; they ask of me righteous judgments, they delight to draw near to God. (Isaiah 58:2)

But the foundation in them is their own desires, competing with each other. They still seek profit when they fast: God! Bless my business! God! Bless my business! Do you understand? Be careful! Why does God not pay attention and not see their fasting prayers? God simply does not want to see, because their hearts are full of filth. Why do they afflict themselves, but God does not pay attention? Even if their knees become calloused, like the knees of a camel, it is useless. What are you going to do? Show off your knees?

Shepherd the flock of God, who have you shepherded? James in the Book of James and Peter in 1 Peter and 2 Peter, who did they shepherd? What did they do? What kind of church did they establish, is the duty of the church to shepherd? Did they corrupt the foundation of the church?

Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? (Isaiah 58:6)

This is the gospel that releases people. The most basic work of the church is binding and releasing; the church is a place that sets people free; this is delighting in God. Brothers and sisters, let me stimulate you a little, how is your shepherding? Did you come just to get benefits? If you came just to get benefits, I tell you, you are offending God!

God's great plan for us is to make us above and not below, to make us ride on the heights of the earth, to make us priests of Jehovah God, to bring God's power down from heaven, to bring people's problems from the earth to God's presence, so that we can be a blessing to all nations and tribes on this earth. If people live only to seek their own interests, how can they be a blessing to others?

We must all become repairers of the breach, become priests of Jehovah God, and build the foundations that have been destroyed over generations. In the two thousand years of church history, some people find serving God painful, while others find serving God joyful, but few delight in God! Through the two thousand years of church history, you will see how corrupt the church is. They still think they are evangelizing, one is saved, two are saved. What does it mean to be saved? A decision prayer is all it takes to be saved? What nonsense is that? The whole theory is simply untenable.

Conclusion

Today, we must do one thing, which is to see if we have a foundation inside us. I tell you, the problems on your body are closely related to the foundation inside! What is the foundation? First, ask yourself why you are living? If I am living for God, there will always be time for God's things. If I am living for my business, I will always have time for business, because time is something we arrange. If we are living for our husbands, we will definitely have time when our husbands call us; if we are living for our children, we can put down anything, but we will always have time for our children. Isn't that the case? Let's ask today, why are we living?

Yesterday, I scolded someone. He sent me a message, saying that he has been in Chinese Mingding Destiny for two years, why hasn't his child changed? What nonsense is this? What did you come for? You came for your child? That's not our purpose. We delight in God. Why are you living? You are still believing in the Lord for your child. I think you should go home and take care of your child! After listening to so much, the foundation is still built on the child, then you should build it well on the child. Let me repeat, why are you living?

Those people still say, We seek God every day, we delight to know God's ways, we are a righteous nation, we do not forsake God's grace, we seek righteousness every day, we draw near to God every day. But God does not pay attention and pretends not to see. Why? Because they are not living for God and do not delight in God. This is a fatal problem; this is a very sharp problem. What exactly are we doing? Put down what should be put down; it's nothing great.

This generation needs to see God's glory again; in this generation, God wants to raise up a group of people like the Apostle Paul, like Jesus Christ. In this generation, God wants to raise up this group of people to rebuild the foundations that have been destroyed over generations; God will make them ride on the heights of the earth, to be above and not below, to be the head and not the tail; God will nourish these people, because they delight in God. If you don't believe it, you can try it.

This is what our church is going to do, and this is what I am going to do. In this generation, we will rebuild the foundation of the faith of Jesus Christ, and all the nations on earth will be blessed through us. We did not come to be blessed ourselves; we came to be a blessing to all the nations on earth. Although we have not asked for our own things, God has made us ride on the heights of the earth, because we are determined to walk in God's will, to build the foundations that have been destroyed over generations. We say here, God, use me! Here I am, please use me! Amen!
