I. Introduction

Good morning, everyone. The topic I want to share with you today is a favourite term in Chinese Mingding Destiny: system. Recently, someone asked me, Teacher, what are you doing? I've been studying why people get confused. Why do people often make decisions impulsively and speak nonsense? Have you noticed that there are many people who talk nonsense? Later, I discovered that to make people smarter, you need to address one particular problem: whether they have a system within them. If they don't have a system, then what's inside them is extremely chaotic.

Yesterday, I watched a short, hilarious video. It featured a Tang Monk speaking Henan dialect, accompanied by his disciple, Sun Wukong, walking together. The Henan dialect was quite flavourful, making me laugh uncontrollably. Then, Wukong went to beg for alms to buy boxed lunches, and Tang Monk waited there. Soon, a demon arrived. Tang Monk asked, Are you a demon? The demon replied, I am not a demon. Tang Monk said, Oh, you say you are not a demon, so you are not a demon. Later, Wukong returned from afar and said, Hey, she's a demon. Tang Monk responded, I asked her, and she said she wasn't a demon, so she's not a demon. Wukong asked, She says she's not a demon, so she's not a demon? Then Tang Monk added, If I were a demon, and you asked me if I was a demon, I would honestly tell you that I am a demon. What kind of brain is that? The demon says she's not a demon, so she's not a demon.

His logic is: if I were a demon and you asked me if I was a demon, I would honestly tell you I am a demon. Therefore, I asked that demon if she was a demon, and she said she wasn't a demon, so she's not a demon. He assumes everyone in the world is like him. Later, I found that many people assume everyone is the same as them, like many Henan Tang Monks. Think about it: I believe I'm not a demon, so I'm not a demon; I believe I'm a smart person, so I'm a smart person; I believe I'm doing the right thing, so I'm doing the right thing. What kind of brain is that? If I keep going, the whole sermon will be in Henan dialect. What logic is this, I ask?

Of course, this is what people say in sketches and stand-up comedy. You know why people who tell jokes and do stand-up comedy have a system? They know what to say to make people laugh; that punchline is called a geng, so they've figured it out. Guo Degang opened Deyun She to train apprentices, teaching them what? Teaching them how to perform crosstalk. To perform crosstalk, you must grasp the punchline. If you can't grasp the punchline, how can you do crosstalk? Recently, many hilarious things have happened, and they all stem from what? They all stem from being self-righteous. Henan Tang Monk does everything like this. He believes something is what it is, and he assumes everyone in the world is the same as him.

One of our principals asked the school accountant, Which students at our school haven't paid their tuition? The accountant said, How would I know? You're the accountant, how could you not know? Who has paid their tuition, and who hasn't, he doesn't know. Oh my goodness! You're the accountant, and you don't know who has paid and who hasn't? How can you do your job like that? Such things happen all the time. And they say righteously, How would I know? That's Henan Tang Monk. These kinds of things are extremely common. Someone worked on a project, spent twenty million, and it all went down the drain. He still thinks he's very justified. Twenty million, and they made this for me, producing a bunch of rubbish. Just like a Henan Tang Monk.

Some time ago, someone worked on a project, and over a million went down the drain. Earning over a million is not easy, but spending over a million is easy for them. Where do these problems come from? They come from a lack of system. That Tang Monk in the sketch, do you think his brain works well? In my opinion, his brain doesn't work. Many years ago, I emphasized the word system very much. In my early years, I grew up with the Internet, and the early Internet was very crude, not as good as it is now. If you are from Henan, don't misunderstand. I'm talking about Henan Tang Monk; if you are from Henan but not Henan Tang Monk... Right now someone is typing that their company head spent US$1.8 million asking others to do something, and the US$1.8 million all went down the drain. That's another Henan Tang Monk, who eventually ran off to America.

Many years ago, I had a deep feeling about the word system. When I did networking, I could almost reach the level of an Internet engineer. I was originally an Internet engineer. Later, I did software, then projects, then outsourcing, then many things, including education. I taught at a school. I always had something inside me, which was: what is the system that constitutes this thing? What exactly is going on? You must figure that thing out. I'm clear about what I don't know. I'm not like that Henan Tang Monk. What am I saying? When I do these things, I have a small requirement for myself, which is that I have to understand these things thoroughly. My mind is very clear. What is the characteristic of working with a clear mind? It's that you work quickly, you have a system, and you see the whole picture at a glance. I see the details more clearly than you, and I see the overall picture more clearly than you. Isn't that great?

If you ask, Can having a system put food on the table? Yes, it can put food on the table. I'll tell you some good news: if a person works with a system and understands things thoroughly, they will definitely have money. Don't you want to have money? You don't want to lose money, right? Listen to my advice today: work with a system. Don't do things blindly, as that can be troublesome. Who should you learn from? Learn from the Northeast Tang Monk; don't be a Henan Tang Monk.

So, brothers and sisters, we need to know that I greatly admired our great leader Chairman Mao in the past, from a very young age. At first, it seemed like I was brainwashed, but later I realised that I wasn't brainwashed; he was truly remarkable. You should know that I've read a lot of Chairman Mao's works. Speaking of education, we grew up under Chairman Mao's educational policy. If you have an opinion about Chairman Mao, don't have an opinion about me; he was truly remarkable. He said, The school system should be shortened, and education should undergo a revolution. Don't think that he was brainwashing people. That word brainwashing isn't good. I think Chairman Mao understood education very thoroughly. If you ask me, How many people have understood education thoroughly? Chairman Mao understood it, and so have I. But you might not feel comfortable hearing that; you might say I'm talking nonsense.

The most frequently used term in Chinese Mingding Destiny is system. We have a systematic Bible study, we have a systematic theology, and we do healing and deliverance in a systematic way. Without a system, everything is extremely chaotic. So today, when you come among us, after hearing me speak about many things, when you listen to others, you will find that many things lack a system. I have to teach you. After listening to me speak a lot, when you listen to others, it seems a bit chaotic. Why? Because many people are not systematic. Chinese Mingding Destiny will have a profound impact on future generations. Why? Because we have a complete system. Where does this complete system come from? It comes from the word of God. What God says is very important. I tell you that I read the Bible more clearly than most people.

So, brothers and sisters, you need to know today that without a system, people will be confused. If you are an accountant, you need to form a system of accounting; if you do marketing, you need to form a system of marketing; if you want to be a lawyer, you need to have a systematic understanding of the law; if you are a programmer or a project manager, you need to be a systematic programmer, a systematic project manager. Today, this sentence must penetrate into your bones! If you are a pastor, be a systematic pastor; if you are a student, start developing a systematic learning method; of course, you need a system even more when you live your life. If you don't have a system for living your life, things will go badly, and you'll turn people into ghosts. Living as a human being requires a system; living as a ghost requires a system.

So I tell you, lacking a system is the tragedy of a lifetime! Doing anything without a system is the tragedy of a lifetime. I find it very interesting: I often see people without a system who cannot accept things that are beneficial to themselves but do things that are harmful to themselves frantically. Truly Henan Tang Monk. Lacking a system is a tragedy! Some years ago, I suddenly saw this: Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. You should know that I had been a Christian in church for many years. I had read the Bible many times, but suddenly that day, I read Matthew Chapter 4 again, Jesus' conversation with the devil.

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ (Matthew 4:4)

I said, How did I not read that 'every' before? Isn't that strange? Have you read that every? I immediately woke up to that every. I used the electronic version of the Bible and typed in every. Oh my goodness! I almost became a Henan Tang Monk! Later, I found that in Deuteronomy, it was all every. You shall diligently observe the commandments of the Lord your God, all the statutes and judgments, all the words, all the commandments, all the judgments, all is every. I was momentarily stunned. So I was a Henan Tang Monk; it's every word.

So I knelt down and prayed, God! I don't quite understand. What should I do with all these words? Today I have finished doing what you have said, and tomorrow you will have said another bunch of words. What should I do? At that time, I was very serious. The Chinese Mingding Destiny system started from here. So, how important is this every? God said, It's not like that. If it's not like that, then what is it like? It's a very simple thing; it's a system! Later, I was even clearer. Do you know why it's a system? Today, brothers and sisters, remember these two words, system. If you live without a system, you will be confused. If you are confused, I don't blame you, because removing your confusion is my job. The reason why I am talking about this system today is this. You must know why you haven't formed a system today? It's because of self-righteousness. You think you have it, but you don't. Isn't that a tragedy? Doing one thing then doing another, just talking nonsense.

In the Bible, God's words could not be added to or subtracted from during Moses' time. Later, how do we account for the Book of Samuel? Later, how do we account for the Book of Kings? Later, how do we account for the Book of Isaiah? Later, in the Book of Revelation, it also says not to add or subtract from it. So, was it added to or subtracted from after all? Originally, things within a system don't count as additions or subtractions. Why can't they be subtracted? If they are subtracted, then there will be trouble. Isn't it dangerous if an airplane doesn't have a navigation system? An airplane can't fly without an engine, and it can't fly without wings. An airplane is a complete set; any one thing going wrong is enough to suffer, so nothing can be subtracted. What is within a system cannot be added to or subtracted from. From that day on, I was already a person who liked to learn, who liked to understand things thoroughly. I already had this concept, and after reading the Bible, this concept suddenly became clear.

So from that time on, I led everyone in studying the Bible. Whether you go back ten years, what I said was basically within a system. But does everyone know that I had a wonderful discovery in the Bible? It's a bit of a pity that I can't apply for the Nobel Prize with this wonderful discovery! But I will apply in heaven. Later, I wonderfully discovered who? Jesus and Paul spoke of a system. Jesus, Paul, Abraham, Moses, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, this is a system.

Later, I studied this very deeply. James, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, and Jude are quite chaotic. At first, I wasn't very sure, but later I was very certain that they are not part of the system. What is adding? What is subtracting? Taking things from outside the system and bringing them in is called adding; taking things from within the system and removing them is called subtracting. Though they may have the heart, they are not within a system. Why? Because I really want to make it work. Everyone should know that I don't know how many times I've read the Bible! I have a system for studying the Bible. My Bible study is to finish reading God's words, understand them, and then what I say are theories. The Bible is the scripture, and what I say are theories. What are theories? They are about making the things in the Bible work. How to do it, how to implement it. If you can't implement it, then you should go and see for yourself, slowly! If you can implement it, then you're great, and I'll listen to you.

So later, many Christians live in a state without a system. For example, once when I was preaching or studying the Bible, I mentioned the Nicene Creed and the Apostles' Creed, saying that they were useless. Why are the Nicene Creed and the Apostles' Creed useless? The Nicene Creed and the Apostles' Creed say that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of Mary, saying these things, and then died, was buried, and ascended to heaven, saying these things roughly, and then declaring them again, etc. I came from those churches; how could I not know? Later, I found that these things are useless. The reason is very simple: because these things cannot form a system. You should know that many people recite the Apostles' Creed, and after reciting it, they look at it and think, Why doesn't it look like Jesus?

I'm talking about Chinese Mingding Destiny today, and there is a very key word: all words. If you have already formed the concept of all words, formed this system, I'll tell you what will happen: you will definitely have the image of Jesus on your body, you will do what Jesus did, and you will have more and more of the image of Jesus on your body. If you don't look like Jesus, what are you doing? For example, once a person had canker sores all over his mouth; it was very scary, and he couldn't bend his knees. I led him in prayer and he was delivered. Then he boasted to the people next to him that he had memorized the entire Book of Romans and also encouraged the depressed people next to him to memorize the Book of Romans, which I overheard. I said, Just forget it. After memorizing the Bible, you have canker sores all over your mouth. Why are you still memorizing that stuff? Memorizing the Bible is not a matter of system; it is rote memorization. Computers can memorize it better than you. Computers will never memorize it incorrectly. Can that kind of thing work? So anything that is not systematic is very corrupted.

Today, everyone is truly blessed because you have come among us, and you will form a complete system of faith. This is also the goal of my efforts! If you form a complete system, the demons will retreat. Otherwise, if you retreat, the demons will come looking for you. So you can no longer look at problems in an isolated, one-sided, and static way; you must look at problems dialectically. You say, how can such words be said? What do I mean? Why do many atheists criticize metaphysics and also incorporate the theology of the Bible into this metaphysics, saying it is idealistic? Why? Because in the past, theology did have problems. Because in the past, theology did not form a system.

Today, this problem still exists universally among Christians. There are many strange things among Christians. Some time ago, an elder opposed getting the COVID vaccine. He didn't get the vaccine. Why didn't he get the vaccine? Their logic was quite interesting: he said that getting the vaccine was like being marked with the mark of the devil. What? Talking nonsense! How could I not hear what logic this was? Henan Tang Monk! I thought he was very interesting. Then this Henan Tang Monk went to a country to attend some large gathering. This Henan Tang Monk didn't get the vaccine, fearing the mark of the devil, and then went to attend this large gathering. As a result, he fell ill. If you have the ability, don't go to the hospital! He went to the hospital, got an intensive care room, and then discovered that this was bad. Why? Because he didn't get the vaccine, the government didn't provide any subsidy, and he had to pay all the money himself. Whether it's Henan Tang Monk or Henan whatever, the un-systematic faith of Jesus Christ will be like this, a stroke here and a stroke there, extremely chaotic, and without any effectiveness.

Today I want to tell everyone that because Chinese Mingding Destiny is the systematizing of the things in the Bible, it will have a profound impact on future systems, but you won't see my name because my name is not important. The doctrine of Chinese Mingding Destiny is what is important. People follow the doctrine, not me. Whatever you do, today I encourage you: if you're a student, remember the word system; if you're an accountant, remember the word system; if you're a lawyer, remember the word system. Brothers and sisters, Chinese Mingding Destiny is systematic, and this system will have a profound impact on the future. We've been talking about Henan Tang Monk for half an hour. Let's stop talking about Henan Tang Monk. Okay, let's read today's scripture.

II. Scripture

Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:“‘He will command his angels concerning you,’and ‘they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’” Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’” Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendour. “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’” Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him. (Matthew 4:1-11)

III. Prayer

God! May you open our minds today so that we can imitate Jesus Christ. God! May the way of Jesus Christ be introduced into our hearts and engraved on our hearts so that our hearts can understand. God! Let us build a good foundation on your words, and let us build this glorious church on the foundation of your truth. May your presence be in our midst until you come again. God! We also long to obtain such power so that the devil can retreat. God, today, open our minds so that we can obtain this truth of the gospel, so that we can construct your system of truth, so that we can see the wonders of your words! So that we can act according to your words, as you command us. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

IV. Scripture Background

You need to know for sure why the devil is on you all the time? You need to know why you get these problems? You need to know what cancer is, what water on the knee is? Today, when I led in prayer, there were a lot of these problems. What's the reason? The reason is that you are not systematic inside, so the devil always comes looking for you. You can't make him retreat either. It doesn't matter; I can make him retreat. Establishing a church is what we do.

That dialogue between Jesus and the devil, the phrase the devil left woke me up so much. How did he leave? If Jesus didn't use It is written, if he hadn't used this phrase, what would have happened? If Jesus became a Henan Jesus, what would he have said? He would have said, If I were the devil, I would say I'm the devil. This is Henan Jesus! The people of Henan might be upset now. Don't blame me. The reason I used this phrase is because there's a sketch that says it like that. If there hadn't been this sketch, I wouldn't have had the guts to offend a large group of Henan people. There are so many great people from Henan, but this is about Henan Tang Monk, Henan Jesus. The devil left because Jesus said, It is written. The devil noticed what? He noticed that he couldn't fool Jesus, because Jesus wasn't of the Henan persuasion. If we were to perform a sketch, Henan Tang Monk's brain would be fooled by the devil in a moment.

Later, this sketch was interesting. This Henan Tang Monk can really talk. He talked and talked until Sun Wukong fell, until the demon also fell. The demon and Sun Wukong knelt before Tang Monk, begging Tang Monk to stop talking. All the Henan people in China are very good at talking, blah blah blah. You say, is it better than the people from the Northeast? Of course it's better than the people from the Northeast; they all have a Henan accent. Later, the devil left, all because of It is written. This is why Chinese Mingding Destiny places so much importance on the Bible! We preach once a week, but we study the Bible twice a week! So, you tell me, is studying the Bible important? Important! So isn't it a tragedy that some churches don't read the Bible? After the devil left Jesus, Jesus began his ministry. Jesus formed a system from the beginning, and then the demons retreated. The kingdom of heaven is near. You should all repent. What does it mean to repent? Change the worldly logic system to the Godly logic system; that is repentance.

If you read the

I tell you all: If a person speaks with a coherent system, the Spirit of God will be upon them. They are not some charlatan; the Holy Spirit will move them, and they will follow Jesus. That’s just the way it is. If you want the Holy Spirit to do marvelous works in you, let the Holy Spirit be in you, giving you a systematic understanding of God. What did Jesus do? Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness. Some say, Let the Holy Spirit tap me. Isn't that how people are lured in? I say, Come, follow me, and don't you come? It's quite interesting.

I want our brothers and sisters to know today, what exactly is this gospel? This gospel is the gospel of healing and casting out demons. So Jesus’ fame spread throughout Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed; and he healed them. This is the ministry of Jesus Christ. If you ask me to be like Jesus, I must be like this. Jesus Christ began his ministry by doing just this. If we don’t start this way, aren’t we going down the wrong path? Why do I always talk about those evangelicals and such? Don’t we all read the same Bible? Shouldn’t it be this way? Would you say Chinese Mingding Destiny is more in line with the Bible, or less? It is certainly more in line with the Bible. This is the context of this passage. I think the path that Chinese Mingding Destiny is taking is the path of emulating Jesus, and it gets better and better. Just like Huawei started by making knock-off phones, now they are making high-end phones, becoming rivals with Apple, getting more and more formidable. Why? The strength lies in this.

V. All Words Are a System

All words are a system, and a system is all words. This is another way I translate it. The system established by Chinese Mingding Destiny is to reorganize the system in the Bible, forming these things into a system. Can you guess what I will talk about in the sixth point? In the sixth point, I will talk about: What is a system? This all words are a system, I tell you, Chinese Mingding Destiny later summarized it into one word in the New Testament: the church. If you add an adjective, it's the victorious church. If you bring in the Old Testament as well, it’s that only through victory can you draw on promises. Have you heard this before? What is the most important work of the church? The most important work of the church is pastoring. What is meant by loving God? Pastoring God's flock is loving God. I have summarized this very well.

The most important work of the church is pastoring. What exactly is pastoring? First, it is healing the sick and casting out demons. How can you not set him free if he is controlled by demons? Second, it is dealing with his flesh. You must know that how can the church be good if it doesn’t deal with people's flesh? Third, it is reading God’s word; fourth, it is doing God’s word. This is called pastoring. Healing the sick and casting out demons is liberation. I am telling you, these things I am talking about are very clear. Where is the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit permeates this whole process. So our healing and deliverance have become a course, all woven together with God's word, and when you look at it, it becomes very clear! So if I were to talk about all these words today, we wouldn’t go home tomorrow; we would just stay here, as they are inexhaustible. So I want to say: All words are a system.

VI. What is a System?

Everyone, tell me, what is a system? If you can digest what I am talking about today, you will definitely be very powerful in whatever you do. Does everyone want to give me a hundred likes! Don’t give me likes; give God likes. I am not important; I am just dung. I am already grateful that God can use me. So what is a system? The foundation is part of the system, but some people say, Let me lay a solid foundation, but let’s not build a house; let’s build a foundation, and then sleep on the foundation. Are you crazy? I think everyone must know today, does anyone sleep on the foundation? The foundation is not for sleeping. Sleeping in a bare concrete room is enough for you to bear. Isn’t there someone who was called to quarantine and lived in a bare concrete room? What is a system? A house is built on the foundation, there must be pillars and beams, these are crucial structures and load-bearing walls, and then there are load-bearing walls and non-load-bearing walls, and there must be water and electricity, and the walls must be painted with colors, then we have the hard furnishings, and then add the soft furnishings, and when you move in, you find that this house is too beautiful.

Some things in the truth of the Bible are called foundations, some are called pillars, some are called load-bearing beams, and some are paintings on the wall. So would you say this painting is important, or this foundation is important? Without the foundation, the house cannot be built. Without the load-bearing wall, the house will collapse. These are all very important, but they look relatively crude. So truth has size. Some truths belong to the foundation, some truths belong to the pillars, and some truths belong to the beams. So let me ask you today, is tithing a great truth or a small truth? Tithing is a very small truth. What are Pharisees? Turning the essential and the trivial upside down, treating the small truths as great truths, and discarding the great truths. That’s what Pharisees are. That is, in the minds of the Pharisees, it's like the Henan Pharisees: if I am a demon, I will tell you that I am a demon. So I ask if he is a demon, and he says he is not a demon, then he is not a demon. What kind of brains are these!

Do we brothers and sisters have a sense of priority in the truth? If not, there is no system, and if there is no system, can you not be confused? If you get confused, you will become a Pharisee, and aren’t you in trouble? Brothers and sisters must know today, how great a truth is fasting and prayer? I once knew a person who fasted and prayed for forty-three days. I said, What are you going to do? I want to surpass Jesus. Oh my goodness, this is to surpass Jesus. As a result, he died before the forty-three days were over. He died in the prayer house. Annoying! Why? Because the truths of the Bible are great and small, so Chinese Mingding Destiny clearly distinguishes which is important and which is not. Today, Chinese Mingding Destiny wants to tell you definitively that the New Testament Bible, as well as the Old Testament Bible, all point to the body of Jesus Christ, the victorious church. Therefore, the church is the most important, and the church is built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, and the apostles and prophets are built on the body of Jesus Christ. So brothers and sisters, don’t mess around! Don't look at problems one-sidedly, in isolation, and statically. Learn to build a system holistically.

I have a system in my mind for career planning, how can a person prosper in the workplace? I have a system called career planning. Whether a person's career rises depends on what? For example, there is a sister among us who came to me one day and told me: Teacher, I want to resign. I said, What are you going to do? She said, I want to come to the church to work. I said, I can’t afford to hire you because you are so expensive! Can you save the church some money! Why? Because I liked the job she had, it was too good. She was a teacher. Do you know how teachers work? When the students have holidays, they have holidays too, and they don’t work on Saturdays and Sundays. I calculated that after deducting public holidays, they only work one hundred and eighty days a year. Out of three hundred and sixty-five days, they only work one hundred and eighty days. I said, What job in this world is better than this? Many holidays! I said, Then why don't you use your remaining one hundred and eighty-five days to serve God? The school will pay you, and I don’t have to pay you. That’s great! She said: Teacher, my work is too easy. I said, Is there a problem that it is too easy? She said, I can’t grow because it’s too easy. It's easy, so why don't you put your time into growth! How great is it that it's easy.

Among us, there are some people who, when they sit down at the company, they start 003 ministry, 101 course study, and start doing written ministry. Why? Nothing to do! The boss sees her working hard, but she is actually doing written ministry! The boss doesn't even know it! He thinks she is working overtime and is very capable. What am I saying? The easier it is for a person to grow, the better! See, you have time, you can learn whatever you want. That's great! Almost became Tang Sanzang of Henan. Another sister said something even more interesting: Teacher, my environment is too good. I can't grow around you. I heard it and thought it was strange. She said: Teacher, I want to go to Inner Mongolia. I said: What do you want to do? She said: I want to grow in a difficult environment. I said: Are you going to deal with your flesh? She said: I want to overcome in a difficult environment, I want to grow in a difficult environment. Oh, you want to be Tang Sanzang of Henan. Can’t grow well in such a good environment, you can grow in a difficult environment? In a very good environment, you cannot practice faith, go to a difficult environment to grow, with your little faith, won't you be rubbed on the ground! The church is God's will, and the entire Bible will finally be united in Jesus Christ. We don't need to do this.

If this environment hasn’t sold you to Egypt yet, don't run to the Egyptian slave market and sell yourself. That’s asking for trouble. So I think, no matter in what kind of good environment or bad environment, we must firmly grasp the building of a victorious church. Because the church is God's will, the church is the body of Jesus Christ, and when the time is right, all things will be united in Jesus Christ. Once we grasp this one thing, what are healing and deliverance and all these things! Everything will be solved at once, so healing and deliverance are done best in our church. You say no, right? Why? Is there a problem if I think we do it best? I just think so, I like to think so.

Therefore, once we brothers and sisters form a theological system, when you go and look at the theological systems of Peter, James, and Jude, what do you see? It's just individual cultivation. It’s not a church system. Why? Because Peter and James ruined the church. These are their results. If you want to do spiritual practices, then do it! It’s best to do it in Henan. Was the system that I described in the sixth point clear? From now on, if you want to be an accountant, get the foundations of accounting right, build the foundations of accounting, and then worry about those small things. If these foundations aren’t built well, this accountant is a terrible accountant. When the boss asks you: Has this student paid the tuition fee? Tell the boss you don’t know! What kind of accountant is this? Don't tell me you're a Tang Sanzang accountant from Henan. So we today brothers and sisters must be aware of your confusion, I hope that because of this matter of system that I am talking about, your confusion will be completely changed. Why is there confusion? Because there is no system, no framework.

VII. Do as God Says

You will find in the Bible, how God commanded Noah, so Noah carried it out. How God commanded Moses, so Moses carried it out. How God spoke to Abraham, so Abraham carried it out. How God spoke to David, so David carried it out. How God spoke to Jesus, so Jesus carried it out. How God spoke to Paul, so Paul carried it out. I can tell you, it's not easy! Why can’t you carry it out? Later, I discovered something, taking my employees as an example. I tell them to do this and do that, but when I come the next day, I find that what I asked them to do, they didn't do, and what I didn’t ask them to do, they did a lot of. I said, Why is this? He said: Teacher, I thought you meant this. Oh, you thought I meant this? Then let’s go to Henan together, and I would be speechless. Why? Once they thought, they thought askew. Once they heard, they heard distortedly. Once they thought, they thought confusedly. Once they carried it, they did it blindly.

Later, I said: Do as God says. This is so difficult! I said God! Am I self-righteous? Are you saying I have done as you said? But when you come and take a look, it turns out that what you said, I didn't do. What I did was what I wanted to do, what I thought I should do. Isn’t this troublesome? At that time, my hairs stood on end, and I got goosebumps. Later, I will tell you: something that doesn't form a system, you will hear wrongly once you hear it, and you will do it wrongly once you do it. What happens is closely related to the system. A person who is not system-oriented cannot do as God says. Once you do, you will do what you think it is. Isn’t this very deadly?

Some time ago, I taught brothers and sisters how to pastor, and then my colleague said to me: Teacher, your method of pastoring is not suitable for me. Oh my God! Let's make a trip to Henan and come back. He said: I can't do what you said, what you said is only suitable for you, I can't do what you said! I can only do what I want. I can only say: Oh God! Doing as you what you say is just so hard! Do we all know that? I'm not naturally able to do what God says. It’s not like that.

You must know that early on when I was doing management, I thought that after I managed well, and I was good to my employees, my employees would be good to me. This is a great myth. Do we still have people among us who think so? If you are good to your employees, your employees will be good to you. Is there such a thing? Later, I found that it was not like that at all. Why? Because that was what I thought it was. Later, I became a fierce boss. Why? People like it. Isn’t this strange? Why was I originally a nice guy? I am a particularly good person, I work hard and bear hardships. Later, I found that what I thought was not working. Actually, I really don’t like to be that kind of person. People must know that I was very shy when I was young. Oh! This is because I was forced because the environment really shapes you.

Later, I went to read a lot of management books, I had to manage these birds, because at that time my department was called Flying Bird Department. The Flying Bird Department was full of birds. Managing them was really hard work, and later I really changed. Why? At the end of the year, our company had a 360-degree assessment. The employees below give you comments, the peers give you comments, and your boss gives you comments. This is called a 360-degree assessment. Later, I found that the comments my employees gave me were too disgusting. Oh my God! Why? Because I was too good to them. I realized that that stuff just didn't work. Later, I knew that I must learn management. I am not saying that I am doing what I like to do, what I thought would work doesn't. Until now, everyone must know that everything I have is learned, and it is not innate.

Today, if you are naturally unable to do it, it's normal! I am naturally unable to do it. These are not things that I can do naturally, they are things that I learned one by one and constructed a system. Formed a system of management, a system of faith, and a system of living. If you don’t have a system, you don’t even have the qualifications to live. Look at how you have come through these past few decades? You hardly have the qualifications to live. So brothers and sisters must know that people must build a system, people must jump out of these things of living, observe how people live in eternity, and then you will know that people living is vanity, and then you will obtain the hope of eternity, and build a system in eternity, and then you can do as God what he says.

VIII. The Biggest Obstacle is Self-Righteousness

The logic of the sermon I am giving today is very clear. Although I told everyone a lot of stories about Henan, it is the same in Hebei, and even in Shandong and Shanxi. No matter where, the biggest obstacle for people is self-righteousness. When people are self-righteous, they are in trouble. So you need to learn, to learn you must learn the classics, and after learning the classics you must form a system, and when you form a system, people will not be confused. When people are self-righteous, they are finished! Take your time fix that. You must know that I used to do a lot of embarrassing things. Those very embarrassing things were all closely related to self-righteousness. When I am self-righteous, I become foolish. Sigh! It makes me feel embarrassed when I think about it. So we brothers and sisters, the biggest obstacle is: I thought. That thing you thought is useless.

I am telling you these words are from the bottom of my heart. I am really for the growth of brothers and sisters, and then to fix the problem of self-righteousness in you. I hope brothers and sisters will remove those self-righteous things. People have too many things they think they know. How much do you know about the medical system? How much do you know about the medical system? I hope that you can occasionally go in and listen when people are holding board meetings in their company, but if they don’t let you in, then forget it. The important thing is that you need to know what they are discussing: how to collect money.

What exactly is human health all about? I hope you can build a system. Do you know if you can do more tests in the hospital? Do one more test and charge more money, do the expensive ones. People pass this stuff to patients, and if you don’t let them do it, they will complain. If they don’t spend the money, can they get it cheap? Some people say, even though they have no problems, Let's cut it off. The whole lung was cut in half for no reason, why? Can they make money if they don't cut it off? So everyone has to take their time and think about it, and never talk nonsense. You must know that the famous Lu Xun said: Traditional Chinese medicine is a scam. Is that really the case? Nonsense! Fortunately, there is Traditional Chinese medicine. I tell you that Traditional Chinese medicine is a system, but Traditional Chinese medicine is not a money-making system, Traditional Chinese medicine is a system for curing diseases. Why is Western medicine so popular? Because Western medicine is a money-making system. Everyone slowly figure it out. Then Lu Xun said: Chinese characters should be removed, and Traditional Chinese medicine should be removed. Actually, he was not the first to propose it. The first to propose it was Qian Xuantong.

Today, if you are not Chinese, and you go to South Korea, you try reading Korean characters, they are all phonetic characters. If you change Chinese characters into phonetic characters today, you try reading one. That’s so annoying! If you are reading all phonetic characters, Latin words, that can’t be annoying? Vietnam used to use Chinese characters, North Korea and South Korea used to use Chinese characters. They have all been changed, why? For political reasons. But in the past few hundred years, the government’s records were all in Chinese characters. Now who reads them? How to read them? Can’t read them. I am telling you that Chinese characters were almost changed to phonetic characters in the past, worshipping foreign things, some people are like this.

I tell you I am really glad that Chinese characters were kept. What I mean is: these people have not built a system of things, and cannot grasp the essence of things. Actually, what does this have to do with Chinese characters? People's ignorance is the key! People without knowledge, without building a system, is the problem. Are we a little bit too caught in the superstition of these things from the West? What I mean is: today we really need to jump out of these rules and regulations, build a system, and look at these things carefully, then we will not be easily fooled. We will not be easily deceived, and I think we need to learn, understand, and follow what others say. People say this, and we also blindly follow. Don’t just blindly follow, what is the use of blindly following?

Until today, although we do not participate in these, we must form a view, don’t be superstitious about some things, even if they are Western, Eastern, Southern or Northern, Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, it doesn’t matter, don’t be superstitious about certain things and talk nonsense, we need to learn to establish a system, and have a very objective view of things, this is what I want to say. People’s biggest obstacle is self-righteousness. Even those famous people like Lu Xun and Qian Xuantong, who once left a little fame in history, still have an element of self-righteousness, so shouldn’t we be more opposed to it.

IX. Form a System No Matter What You Do

Forming a system no matter what you do is the concept I want to convey. You do it, that is the foundation. After you do it and finish it, you can understand. You learn as you do, and you do as you learn. You get the point, then you can form a system. If you don't mess up, then you will do things quickly, and you won't dawdle when doing things. People become smart, enjoy doing things, enjoy being a human being, build a victorious church, overcome, and the devil retreats. The devil retreats, because you are a system-oriented person.

Today, let's not discuss Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. I want to deal with self-righteousness. Maybe what I said is not that deep, but I want brothers and sisters to stop being superstitious about certain things. For example, among us, there are some people who are in Western countries, and then people naturally think that the democratic system will do this and do that, in reality many have gone wrong with democracy. So our brothers and sisters should stop being superstitious about anything. If you want to overcome, establish a system.

If you thoroughly understand the word of God in the Bible, the devil will retreat. If you do not thoroughly understand the word of God, and you just take it out of context, even if you memorize it and recite it, it is useless. You must know that even if you memorize the Book of Romans, it is useless. I tell you: God wants to reign in people's lives, and people must know God. Knowing God is intelligence, knowing God is wisdom. Victory is needed to draw on God's promises. May God bless everyone!

Let’s sing a hymn and prepare to collect today’s offering. If you don’t understand the meaning of offering, please don’t give an offering. Today, after listening to my system, brothers and sisters should start to form a system. You will definitely become smart, and people will have a clear understanding of what it means to be a human being. How are you going to live? What are you going to do? Did you hear that? Remember, if you don’t understand the word of God, then you are not qualified to give an offering. Don't give an offering, don't mess around. The church does not lack money, the church lacks people who love God. Today, let us offer ourselves as a living sacrifice. If you love God and know God, that is the greatest grace to me.

At this time, hold up your hands and pray with me: In the name of Jesus Christ, I will reject laziness, and I will reject self-righteousness! In the name of Jesus Christ, I want to know the word of God, and I want to know the word of God in a more systematic way! I want to be a smart person, a wise person. In the name of Jesus Christ, break the self-righteousness in me, break the ignorance! I want to offer myself, and I want to be sure in my heart that I love God and do my best.
