Introduction

Good day to you all! This is the third lecture in our New Era Christian Transformation Movement series: The Curse Brought About by False Gospels! Before the meeting, while leading worship, I exclaimed: Have you seen the various curses brought about by false gospels in your local churches? As a result, I received a flood of responses. These responses were filled with accounts of cursed experiences, such as deaths from cancer, various other causes of death, and being hit by cars—a great many things. These occurrences are not only common among church members but also frequently affect pastors. I can tell you that the incidence of cancer among pastors is two to three times higher than that of the general population! I have seen countless pastors die from cancer! I thought to myself, God does not make mistakes, nor do demons, only people do.

What exactly is going on? This is the curse brought about by false gospels. In the previous two lectures, we discussed the hypocrisy of the new era. There is simply too much hypocrisy in the new era! Do you call it good? It is not! It is hypocrisy! And hypocrisy is detestable. Do you know how detestable hypocrisy is? Everyone says, Brother, I will pray for you. But when you ask them three or four days later, Did you pray for me? You see them raise their eyes upward and start making up stories. You can see the expression on their face as they fabricate a response, saying, Yes, I typed, 'May the Lord heal you!' Hypocrisy! The second lecture dealt with the confusion of Christians in this generation. There is so much confusion among Christians in this generation, so many kinds of perplexities along our journey of faith, it is overwhelming.

It makes me sigh, how much Christianity needs a transformation! The previous two lectures emphasized the great need for a transformation in Christianity. And this lecture on the curse brought about by false gospels even more urgently calls for transformation! While preparing this lecture, there were so many stories that I did not know how to fit them all in. They are scattered everywhere, endless accounts of the curses brought about by false gospels. In reality, what did these hypocrites and those who confuse Christians do? They did not do much; in fact, they did not need to do much. They simply added or subtracted a little from the gospel, and they turned it into a fake. You cannot just add or subtract from the gospel arbitrarily.

Speaking of false gospels, let me give you an analogy: One day, I whimsically decide to print a counterfeit bill. How much effort would that take! I take a pen and draw one on a piece of paper torn from my notebook. I cut it out with scissors and write 100 Yuan on top. Even the color is wrong; a real 100 Yuan bill is red, a 100 US dollar bill is green, but mine is written with a pen on notebook paper. If I try to spend it at a nearby store, they will surely think I am mentally ill. Why? Because what I wrote is not a counterfeit bill. If you treat my pen-written note as a counterfeit bill, people will say you are crazy. Is that a banknote? It is obvious.

Do you know what a counterfeit bill is? It looks exactly like a real one. If you are not careful, you will mistake it for a genuine bill. You have to run your fingers over it, examine it closely, and even use ultraviolet light to check it before you finally discover that it is a counterfeit! It looks exactly like a real bill at first glance, but it is fake! What is written with a pen is a fake counterfeit bill; it cannot even be called a counterfeit bill. So, brothers and sisters, you must understand that the fake looks very much like the real. There is a big sign hanging at the entrance that says Christian Church of Such-and-Such Region, as if it were a provincial government office. Is that a Christian church? It looks more like a government office. I think no matter how similar the appearance, it is useless. Even if it is 99.9% like a real bill, that 0.01% difference makes it a counterfeit. What you write with a pen does not even count.

Over the years, I have not had a very good impression of Christians. One Christian came to me and said, Teacher, give me one million, and I will give you three million by the end of the year. I thought, why not do this: you give me one million, and I will give you three million by the end of the year. He would say, That won't work. Why won't that work? Can I get the three million back? Why should I give it to you? That is the kind of people some Christians are. Swindlers are most abundant within the Christian community. Do not believe that; there are many multi-level marketers mixed into the Christian church, and many insurance salespeople are there to develop their downlines. So the prayers in such churches are very spiritual.

False gospels are the same. No one tells you, I am a counterfeit. No one tells you, I am a hypocrite. No one warns you, Be careful, I am a swindler. Or Be careful, I am preaching a false gospel. They all claim to be genuine, but if you align yourself with them, you are finished, and the curse comes quickly. Over the years, the most common thing I have heard people say, especially pastors, is, Ninety percent of what I do is the same as what you do.

I think to myself, that is completely useless. A counterfeit bill can be ninety percent like a real bill, but even 99.9% is not enough! Ninety percent is enough? As if it is something to boast about. Now, our Chinese Mingding Doctrine seems to have a bit of fame. One pastor came to me and said, Do you know, your Chinese Mingding Doctrine is very famous outside! I said, I do not know, and I do not really want to be famous. When people go to him to inquire, he says, I know them; they are my good friends.

The curse brought about by false gospels involves several concepts: First, what exactly is a false gospel? I will explain this very clearly. Second, what exactly is a curse? A false gospel is one in which something has been added to or subtracted from the original gospel, even a tiny bit. Ninety percent? No, even 99.9% similarity is insufficient; that one tiny difference makes it unacceptable. That is the addition to and subtraction from the false gospel.

Adding and subtracting is no small matter! What is adding? What is subtracting? When Moses wrote Deuteronomy, he said that the words of God cannot be added to or subtracted from. But later, people wrote the books of Samuel, Isaiah, and Jeremiah. Does that mean they were adding or subtracting? You must understand what adding and subtracting means. I understand this very clearly. Within a system, it is not called adding or subtracting, but adding to it from outside the system is problematic. Therefore, establishing a system of belief is very important.

What exactly is a curse? You must understand that a curse is the legitimate destruction of a person by evil spirits. Why can evil spirits legitimately destroy a person? The reason is simple: because people do not carefully keep and obey the words of God. Carefully means rigorously; rigorously obey the words of God. Carefully keeping and obeying the words of God versus adding and subtracting, you see, if you obey something that is not the word of God, that is problematic. And what is subtracted? It is what we should have carefully kept and obeyed, but we have subtracted it, saying, This is not the word of God. That is where the problem lies.

Even today, many people tell blatant lies. People will perish because of ignorance. Therefore, I encourage you to develop the habit of learning and seeking. As long as people learn and seek, and are not willful or stiff-necked, it will be easy to deal with. But when people become willful and stiff-necked, that is where the problem lies. Even for someone on their deathbed, if they realize they have done wrong and say, I have not done right; I need to repent, I tell you, for God, raising someone from the dead is not difficult at all. You must know this.

Several years ago, a person brought his good friend to see me because he thought I was particularly skilled at healing and deliverance, that I was particularly miraculous, but they did not know why I was so effective. This good friend of his was in a terrible state; he had been diagnosed with cancer ten years earlier in a local evangelical church. For these ten years, he had been relying on a hole opened in his abdomen, we do not know the details, he did not show us. Because the surgery for cancer had damaged his throat, he could not eat and had to rely on feeding tubes. He had suffered a lot for ten years, unaware that this was a curse.

Why did his friend bring him to me? Because his wife had also been diagnosed with cancer. This couple was not very old, and their children were only teenagers. It was too difficult, both of them were going to die. I told him, This is the curse brought about by a false gospel. He could not accept it; he firmly believed that the Jesus he believed in was pure. Why did he think the Jesus he believed in was pure? I do not know. It was truly frustrating to watch. Because the curse was right before their eyes, they were terrified of curses and demons, but not terrified of the cancer in their bodies. In the end, I could not minister to him.

Also, a few years ago, there was a brother who had a skin condition all over his body. He was a general practitioner himself, able to see all kinds of illnesses, but it seemed he did not see any of them very well. Many pastors from his church would bring their sick to him for treatment, but he did not know who to turn to himself. Later, he prayed, God, lead me! As a result, his pastor told him, You must wait on God. In the end, he did not wait on God, but waited on the Chinese Mingding Doctrine, which truly counts as waiting on God.

Do you think this pastor was tragic? He lost a member. This member actually owed a lot of money, and that is how people are cursed. What glory is there in such things? There is no glory at all. Do you think believing in the Lord is not troublesome? Coming among us, his skin condition truly healed. He really waited on God. He actually waited on the God of the Chinese Mingding Doctrine, the God who heals and blesses.

We must all know that God longs to heal us. I still encourage everyone to carefully keep and obey, neither adding nor subtracting. How do I know if I have added? How do I know if I have subtracted? Is it not written in black and white in the Bible? Read it carefully! Why has the church become like this? Because the church wants to please people; if you like to hear it, I will tell it to you, even if it is not the word of God.

I said it once a few days ago, and I will say it again. Do you know there was a sister who came among us and gave birth to three children with cerebral palsy in a row? Only one of her four children was normal. These children were all born after kneeling and fasting in prayer. Do you think this was given to her by God? What would God give her this for? I really have never seen God give anyone a child with cerebral palsy in the Bible. Was Isaac born with cerebral palsy? Three out of four children had cerebral palsy. After the first child with cerebral palsy was born, they asked, Pastor, pastor's wife, why did this happen? Continue to fast and pray. After fasting and praying for another two months, another child with cerebral palsy was born. Oh, this time you must fast and pray again. After fasting and praying for another three months, a child who was barely normal was born. Now, two children with cerebral palsy and one normal child, let us raise the ratio a bit! Can we turn the two-to-one ratio into two-to-two? In the end, it did not work out, and it became three-to-one; another child with cerebral palsy was born. How can they live like this?

I said, What kind of gospel is this? This pastor and pastor's wife are too wicked. Brothers and sisters, you must understand that people just want to please people! Do you know why the church is so focused on the family? Because the pastor's wife is focused on the family, because many sisters in the church are very focused on the family. Why? Because the family allows them to keep their husbands under control. What a sigh! So we people are always confused, Christians are so confused! All kinds of things happen, all kinds of nonsense; that is simply not the gospel.

If you believe in the wrong gospel, will you be cursed? Yes, you will be cursed. Why? It is very simple; the Bible is written for those who believe in the Lord, do you not read it? After you read the Bible, you will know that something is wrong! How can you not know? So people read the Bible but do not carefully keep and obey it or do not read the Bible at all and do not know how to carefully keep and obey it, just listening to rumors, like hearing the pastor's wife say she produced three children with cerebral palsy.

I tell you, Christianity needs a new era of transformation. The Christianity of this era needs transformation. It needs to return to a true good news: the true gospel! This was originally a gospel, but it has become a moral lesson, all sorts of things. That is simply not a gospel of blessing, it is a cursed sound of curses!

Scripture

I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ. But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ. (Galatians 1:6-12)

Prayer

God, let us once again receive Your revelation; God, let Your Spirit move among us; God, personally reveal to us the gospel of Your Son Jesus Christ, let us truly know God, let us truly know what hope there is in Jesus Christ, let us know what great power there is in this gospel of Jesus Christ, let us in this world overcome all the dark power of the devil; God, may Your almighty gospel be revealed again among us, let our brothers and sisters be able to enter into Your blessings; God, may You do this wonderful work among us, revealing us, leading us, into Your heart. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Background of the Scripture

The background of this scripture is very interesting. I spoke about the background of Galatians a few days ago, and now I will add a little more. A group of people came to Galatia and preached another gospel to them. This gospel probably said something like this: The Jesus you believe in is pretty good, and I preach that Jesus too! The Jesus we believe in should be a better version than yours. These Galatians were stunned: There is another version? Is this version an upgrade? It is like performing a small operation on your genitals. After a small operation, it is indeed a little more! A little more is better than a little less, right? Do you have this concept?

Let me give you an example. Many people are foolish and write that way. I once graded a test and asked the student, Why did you write so much? You could have explained this question clearly in three or two sentences. Why did you write so much? He said, Teacher, I know the answer is in this whole paragraph, but I don't know which one is the answer. I won't lose points if I write more! I said, If you come to me and write too much, you will definitely lose points. Why? Because that is not the answer. Why are you adding things on top of it? That is because you do not understand. If you understand, you can explain it clearly in one sentence, three sentences, or five sentences, but you write a hundred sentences. If the whole exam is just one question, the other questions have not been finished.

I sighed, the person has not really learned! Thinking that writing more will not lose points. If you do not understand, is it not troublesome if you write so much? So the Galatians thought this was an upgraded version of the gospel, but they did not know it was an old version of the gospel. Think about it, if you install an old version of the software, will it work? If we install Android 4, many apps will not run. If you install the old version of the iPhone 3, many things cannot be used. Does anyone still use the XP system? Windows Me is something from over twenty years ago, and Windows 98 is too.

These people who came were not good news. Some people even brought out angels: An angel told me that you must be circumcised. This was said by an angel, so you must not disobey. Do you think that is not crazy? A swindler comes to you: An angel told you to wire the money to me, that is troublesome. If someone comes to me: An angel said... I will say, Who crapped that out? Everyone laughs, and then punches the person in the crap, sticky, soft, and with a bit of a smell. What are you gesturing about to me? If you talk about angels to me, I will ask you who crapped that out.

Paul encountered a group of people who believed that what angels said was the ultimate authority. So, Paul wrote in this letter, stating that if anyone, even an angel from heaven, or heavenly excrement, preaches a gospel different from what we preached to you, let him be accursed! These were very strong words. What was the real issue here? The problem was adding just a little bit! Can you imagine how deceptive that is? Is it better to add a little or subtract a little? Adding that little bit causes trouble; it's just that tiny difference.

So, the Galatians thought it was a good idea and got circumcised. The next day, they arrived at church in great pain! It was excruciating. People asked, Why are you walking like that? Do you know how one walks after being circumcised? There's a wound down there! I'm circumcised! Aren't you? No, I'm not. Why aren't you circumcised? Look, I'm circumcised. Then, the Galatians started getting circumcised, one, two, three, four, five... Eventually, they were all circumcised. It spread like a contagious disease; it was very fast. I find this quite interesting. Why suffer this pain? Actually, it's not that bad; it's just a small surgery, and it heals in two or three days. It's not really that much suffering. The cost is quite bearable!

Why do they do this? Because it's pleasing to others, to those who preach the gospel of circumcision. See how good the relationship is? It immediately complicated the gospel. After keeping the circumcision, then you have to keep the festivals. Some Christians today still observe the Feast of Tabernacles and other such things, a bunch of useless nonsense. If you observe the festivals during the COVID-19 pandemic, everyone will test positive! If you don't get this right, wouldn't you be scared? It's like many idol-worshippers who burn incense on the first and fifteenth of the lunar month; if they miss the first, they panic and burn it on the second, thinking it's a big deal! After that, do you need to kill a sheep to observe the Passover? Do you need to offer a bull? Do you need to offer a burnt offering? It becomes complicated, more and more confusing!

Do you know what happens? After all this, everyone becomes more and more confused. As they become confused, evil spirits operate, and people in that place start getting sick, one disease after another, and many die. I wonder what these people are trying to achieve? I still haven't figured it out! Later I understood; isn't this the age of internet celebrities? They're trying to gain followers. With followers and traffic, they can monetize it! They turned Paul's followers into their own followers by claiming, My way is more sophisticated; I have circumcision, and he doesn't. It's quite amusing to listen to. Gaining followers is a small matter; gaining wealth is the big deal. So, they start cashing in. What's the goal? To create an industrial chain. Look how good this industrial chain is! But this is not the gospel of Jesus Christ. Where is this in the gospel of Jesus Christ? Can he escape the curse? The curse is very deep.

Speaking of this, I want to add a little something extra that you'll definitely enjoy, but it's not recorded in the official history; it's just my speculation. There's a passage in the Book of Acts, and don't say it's apocryphal; I have evidence for what I'm saying. Luke wrote the Book of Acts and wrote it discreetly, giving the Jerusalem church a little face-saving. How did he write it?

He wrote that there was a Gentile named Cornelius, and Peter went to preach the gospel to him. This was significant because Cornelius was a Gentile, not a Jew. Jews considered it unclean to be with Gentiles. If you came out of a Gentile's house, you had to shout in the street, Unclean! Unclean is coming! This was the Jewish tradition, and it remains so to this day. So, in the process of Jews and Gentiles coming into contact, the concept of uncleanness had been around for a long time. As a result, Peter went to Cornelius's house because God revealed it to him. Then Cornelius believed in the Lord with Peter, and Peter was still drumming in his heart! How to explain to these Jews when he went back? That this was God’s revelation, it was real!

But giving account to the Jews, this was not easy! So, he explained to the Jews how Cornelius believed in the Lord. After he explained the matter of Cornelius's belief in the Lord, he should have boldly preached the gospel to the Gentiles, because this was God's command to him. As a result, something happened: he was arrested and thrown into prison. If it were you, what would you have thought? Peter sat in prison thinking, Hey, I was arrested, I have to reflect on what part I didn't get right? Oh, it was because of Cornelius, I went to his house and preached the gospel to him, and I was arrested after I came back from the house. This is uncleanness! Not right! Luke does not write this matter, he cannot write it! Peter was still alive at that time, and you can not just write randomly. So, we can only guess on the basis of this.

Peter came out of prison and returned to this place. When he knocked on the door, he was received by James, the brother of Jesus. Surely Mary was there too. See, I connected this story for you, and it sounds pretty good! The church at that time was quite rich, and everyone contributed to the church, eating and drinking together. The church was so rich, and Peter was arrested again, and people were still searching him. Peter ran away as fast as his feet could take him. After he ran away, what happened? Mary saw this and said, Peter, stop being the leader of this church and let my son James be the leader of this church! Since Jesus' mother had spoken, how could he not let her? He certainly had to let her out of politeness! What's more, he was going to leave Jerusalem for a while, so he left.

After leaving, Peter's story is no longer written. Did he preach the gospel to the Gentiles again? No! This matter was over. God began to raise up another person named Paul. If Peter had continued to preach the gospel to the Gentiles, there should not have been a share for Paul. As a result, when Peter appeared, James was already the leader of the church, and Peter became the second in command of the church; and Peter was afraid of James. He was afraid when James' subordinates came. What is all this? This is what is called pleasing men! Between the lines reveal that Peter is pleasing men, considering the meaning of men, not considering the meaning of God.

Why did Peter no longer preach the gospel to the Gentiles later? It was related to his arrest. After thinking about it, he concluded that it was uncleanness. So, when he arrived in Antioch, he would sometimes be with the Gentiles, but when people from James's side arrived, he would pretend and keep away from the Gentiles. Why would he do this? The reason is simple: not only did he himself think that his arrest and imprisonment were related to his preaching the gospel to Cornelius, but also James, the fleshly brother of Jesus, was actually fueling the flames in this matter. He certainly said: Peter is unclean for being together with Gentiles! So, he was arrested. Do you think my analysis makes sense? Of course, this is my exoteric传. I think the question comes down to this, is this God's revelation? This is not God's revelation, it is pleasing men, so Paul says here:

Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. (Galatians 1:10)

Brothers and sisters, Christians should be made like this. There is no need to please human beings. What are you? Could it be that I have finally come into this world, do I live for you? Give it a rest! In my way of saying, disappear somewhere. Go away! Probably something like this in northeastern dialect. The background of this passage deals with this. So, this problem comes up, many people question, how was Paul's gospel obtained? Peter's gospel has a source, because he followed Jesus; James' gospel also has a source, after all, I am Jesus' fleshly brother! Where did Paul's gospel come from? Paul's gospel did not come from human ideas, nor was it taught by people, but from the revelation of Jesus Christ.

I also boldly tell everyone that the Chinese Mingding Doctrine was not invented by me, but came from the revelation of Jesus Christ. How was it revealed? I really had to ask God when I did not understand, it took a lot of efforts to seek. I felt that I could not understand these things when I read them, and if I still did not understand after reading them, I had to ask God, and God gave me these revelations. We need to know that we have transformed a very complex gospel theology into a very simple gospel. If you work with me, you will find that I have a very big characteristic: I can explain a very complex thing in a very simple way! Because I like to summarize the law of this thing. I make things into systems, not chaos.

When I was young, I thought that reading a book thinly meant excellence. Why? Because there is not much to it after the summary. So, I can tell you that simplifying things is excellence! You will find that the things I make are simple, not complex. The complicated ones are what I said vaguely and did not understand. But these people make things extremely complex, so when Paul was writing Galatians, he was actually trying to make one thing clear: that is not the gospel. In fact, preaching the wrong gospel is cursed! I will tell you why those pastors do this? Because they preach the wrong gospel. Will believing the wrong gospel be cursed? Believing the wrong gospel will also be cursed. Does your pastor allow you to preach the gospel without thinking? This is the problem! This is the background of this passage.

We really have to thank God! God chose the apostle Paul before the creation of the world, and God chose this group of us before the creation of the world. God chose the apostle Paul before the creation of the world to insist on restoring the pure gospel in that generation. In this generation, God has also chosen us to restore God's pure gospel. Because the wrong gospel will bring a curse! So, you need to know that the Chinese Mingding Doctrine pays great attention to learning this.

Additions And Subtractions

I tell you that the gospel of this generation is either added to or subtracted from, which I can argue. All kinds of things have been added to in this generation! When I was in the local church, the pastor told me, you should not lay hands on people when you pray for them. I said why? he said that after you lay hands on them, the demons will run onto you. I felt that these words were pure demon talk. I was wondering which side you were on. Are you preaching the power of demons or the power of God? Has everyone heard this kind of thing?

I was thinking, how many demons must be there on a public bus? Without even laying hands on them, everyone is like a card, how many demons must be scurrying around there? Do you think it is a new crown virus is it? My goodness. You know there is also this argument saying that you have loopholes in your body, so you cannot pray for people. When you pray for people, demons will run into you. What kind of talk is this? Where is this stuff in the Bible? I never found this stuff in the Bible.

In the Bible I saw that Jesus' twelve disciples went out to cast out demons, their loopholes were huge as can be! When Jesus was nailed to the cross, the loopholes on his body were like sieve eyes, even worse than window screens. What loopholes? All gaps. I said, what is all this stuff about? Nonsense! Because we cast out demons in the name of Jesus Christ. Do you cast out demons by depending on your loopholes? You are completely talking nonsense, these are additions.

I pray for people and if any demon wants to run onto me, you can try coming over here? You little thing! Everyone must learn this phrase, you little thing. That is my character! You never know, one day I prayed for someone, and the person could not lift their arm and later they could lift it up, and then I could not lift my arm. You thought I would believe that the demon ran onto my body? What is a loophole, I do not care about that stuff, there is nothing like that in the Bible. I continue to pray in the name of Jesus, and after two months, my arm was better. I will tell you that I discovered a mystery, whenever such a thing happened to me, my prayer for arm pain was effective, and the same with prayers for back pain, and the same with prayers for other diseases.

I tell you that when I got COVID-19, I rubbed the spirit of COVID-19 on the ground. At first, we were evenly matched and it rubbed me on the ground, even strangling me. Do you know what strangling is? That is clutching my neck. In this state, I fought with it for three weeks. Thank God, every battle was victorious. Does everyone know what the first thing that happened after the victory was? I had just recovered a little, and I did not really care much about maintenance, health maintenance so I went to work immediately. Anyone who came to me, I took to pray. There was one person who was stuck with a fishbone, and after I prayed, it was healed. Later, I found that the spirit of COVID-19 was afraid when it came to me.

After one person contracted COVID-19, the whole person began to manifest. When his pastor prayed with him 老马 began to speak through his mouth. What he said was quite interesting and gave me faith. He said that there were not many in this world who had overcome 老马, and this pastor was one who had overcome 老马, so he was afraid of me. Everyone knows it now, right? There is no reason that we cannot overcome by relying on Jesus Christ. This way of saying is a bit roundabout, I will say this, there is no reason, nothing that can isolate us from the power of Christ. Awesome, really awesome.

In this generation, there are many who add things to it! What is that jumbled mess, everything is added, because they comment based on a phenomenon. For example, praying in tongues. Seeking tongues, and praying in tongues, and people start wailing. They are afraid, and because they are afraid, they say that this is the tongue of a demon, but in fact, it is being released. Simply idiotic, they do not know that they are being released.

Once, I went to participate in a gathering as a student. During the break between classes, they led a person to look for me, I prayed for him. Just then, the demon came out. When the demon came out, the mouth was screaming,哇哇乱叫. As a result, the course person in charge rushed up and I had to hide. He helped the person rub their chest and smooth their back. What is the point of rubbing that stuff? The demon is coming out, what is the point of rubbing it back in? I could not help but sigh.

To this day, the mystery of praying in tongues continues to fill this Christian world. Can God not control this prayer in tongues? He can. God holds all things with His omnipotent hands, would His children pray and ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit and be given an evil spirit? Look at what this man is saying, that you get evil spirits from praying for the Holy Spirit to fill! Anyone who says this is cursed! This is not of God you little thing!

Some time ago, there was a book called Seven Mountains, they wanted to transform the government, transform education, transform the media, transform entertainment, culture, etc. Have you heard of this thing? No! I never read anything of this kind in the Bible. We need to know one thing, God does not want to transform this world, God wants to destroy this world. That you want to transform the city, what do you want to transform?

One day I was talking to someone and I said that Singapore would become Antioch. The spiritual scope of Singapore is not determined by anything else, it is because a small group of people are like the apostle Paul. I am referring to us, I am not at all avoiding. Many prophets have said that this place will become Antioch. Why will it become Antioch? It is because a small group of people are like Paul, and the whole world will be blessed because of this small group of people.

One Christian disagreed, saying that Singapore's spiritual environment was determined by the Singapore government, the Prime Minister, and the ministers. Isn't that far-fetched? How could that be? In the New Testament, Antioch was Apostle Paul's base. The government in Antioch was probably not even aware of this small group of people. Antioch became Antioch not because of the head of government, but because there was a small church in Antioch, consisting of Apostle Paul, Barnabas, and a few others mentioned in the Bible. A small group.

Brothers and sisters, know that there are many additions and deletions. Know that we believe in Jesus, then confess and repent, and are baptised in the name of Jesus. Many stop there. But if you read the Bible carefully, there is also: then receive the promised Holy Spirit. Later, people omitted this step of the promised Holy Spirit. To omit the Holy Spirit, isn't that strange? Adding and deleting is a rather wicked thing, because there are demons behind it. It is so corrupting.

You will find that in churches, what do people use to please the members? Families, children, kindergartens, Sunday schools, all these things. How to please the government? Charity, social work, all these. These are truly tragedies! If we please men, we are not servants of Jesus Christ. Don't even think about adding or deleting. We do what God says, and we implement it as God says. When people add and delete, they are certainly cursed, because that is what a curse is.

The Myth of Curses

This generation needs to redefine curses. I tell you, some church members, when they leave, come to me and say, Pastor, let me buy you a cup of coffee. I say, Sure, let's have a cup of coffee. Do you have any requests for me? They say, Pastor, after we leave, please don't curse us behind our backs. I say, I have been teaching for so long, and I don't even understand the definition of a curse. Can I curse people? If I could curse people, do you think I would be practicing black magic? Black Magic? Then make a voodoo doll and stick needles into it, write your name on it, and when I stick it, you will jump around. I don't do that, and I don't have time for that.

Many people turn pale at the mention of curses, and they don't know what a curse is. Everyone, write down how we define curses, so you won't engage in this myth anymore. A curse is the devil's legal corruption of a person. Why legal? Because people have not carefully obeyed and followed God's word. If people do not carefully obey and follow God's word, the devil will legally do corrupting work in them. That is to say, where you do not carefully obey and follow God's word, there will be trouble.

Curses do not come from demons. Curses come from God because people do not carefully obey and follow God's word. Not obeying and following God's word clearly defines curses and blessings. Carefully obeying and following will surely be blessed, and not carefully obeying and following will surely be cursed. If you read Deuteronomy, it is extremely clear. Don't think this is the Old Testament, the New Testament is the same. Can everyone accept my teaching? I don't force you if you don't accept it.

We need to bring about a new change. We need to redefine what is called blessing and what is called curse. We need to clearly bring about a change. What is adding? What is deleting? These are fatal. I think that once something is added or deleted, it forms a curse. If you read Deuteronomy, you will find that people cannot add or delete anything from God's word. In Revelation, you cannot add or delete anything from this prophecy. If you add, you will be cursed. It is a very simple principle. Adding is not called carefully obeying and following. It is not called rectification, it is called distortion. This myth of curses, I tell you, there is no glory in suffering while living under a curse; there is no glory in committing sin while living under a curse; but if a person suffers for God by paying a price, that is glorious. Don't confuse the two.

Some people live under a curse and say that they are people the world is not worthy of. What is that? There are many people like that. What is a person the world is not worthy of? Before I preached, I asked everyone if they had any stories for me, and there was a pile of them: In the past, there was a prophet in the church, and many people sought him for prayer and made a lot of money. Later, there was a big change, his wife died, and the prophet's daughter gambled and owed more than a million, selling the house to pay off the debt. All the money earned was gone.

Another one, the son of our pastor here had a cerebral hemorrhage, and a month later, the pastor's wife died of breast cancer. The pastor said that this was a fiery trial for everyone from God. This is nonsense. The pastor said it was a great blessing from God. Look at this? Because of adding and deleting, leading to curses, they don't even know it. Isn't this a tragedy? I want to tell everyone that this generation desperately needs a transformation to redefine these things and remove this confusion.

Man Lives on Every Word That Comes From the Mouth of God

Does everyone know? Deuteronomy chapter 28 speaks clearly. From the first verse to the fifteenth verse, it is words of blessing; from the fifteenth verse onwards, to the sixty-odd verses, it is words of cursing. Later, I searched the Bible for every word. I really wanted to know because Jesus said to the devil: Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.

That day, I suddenly discovered the mystery of every word. I prayed there, and God gave me revelation. In fact, everything in the Bible is every word. What should we do with all these words? If you carefully obey all these words, you will surely be blessed, and you will surely be above and not below, the head and not the tail; your storehouse, your bank, and everything will be blessed. You will be blessed in the countryside, blessed in the village, and blessed wherever you go. If a person does not carefully obey and follow, God will bring all these diseases upon you. Diseases are definitely curses, no doubt about it.

So I leave everyone with homework. Go back and read Deuteronomy 28 carefully. After reading it, you must be careful! Man lives on every word that comes from the mouth of God. How do we obey and follow all these words? Why can't we obey and follow? We can endure curses, so why can't we carefully obey and follow God's word? How difficult is it to pay a little price for this? It's not difficult. Everyone should cultivate a habit of loving to read God's word, understanding God's word, and then you can establish an entire system of faith. In the process of establishing the entire system of faith, faith is the foundation, as discussed in the previous lecture. I want to tell you that when you are an infant, you can only drink milk. God will not let you do calculus.

Our God is a God full of grace and mercy. He protects the newborn spiritual infants with His mighty arm, allowing them to grow. When they are three or five years old, there are requirements for three or five years old. When they are six, seven, or eight years old, there are requirements for going to elementary school. The same is true for spiritual life. Just because you are an infant, the demons cannot attack you. Brothers and sisters, we must have faith in God. Don't say that I am talking about relying on every word that comes from the mouth of God. You say, Oh, I have violated this and violated that; I have not carefully obeyed and followed, so I will be cursed. If you deliberately do this, if you deliberately violate God's word, it will really be enough to give you trouble.

So brothers and sisters, don't be afraid. Grow from small to large, and speak the appropriate words for your stage. If you are more than twenty years old and still in elementary school, won't you be beaten? If you don't study hard, you will definitely be beaten. Faith is the foundation. When we cast out demons, we don't cast out demons by our actions, but by the name of our God. Casting out demons by the name of God is definitely effective, even if you have flaws. What's the problem with having flaws? There is no problem. God will predestine us to win. Because you are never good enough, you must always continue to improve, but this does not affect your healing and casting out demons. Everyone should know that demons will deceive you. What if I am never good enough? But the demons must retreat!

Building a System of Faith

Chinese Mingding Doctrine is a system of faith. You must know this sentence. Why is it every word? Which every word is it? Because of every word, we have established Chinese Mingding Doctrine. Chinese Mingding Doctrine is to build all these words into a system, so we know what has been added and what has been deleted. Because within this system, you cannot delete, and outside this system, you cannot add. That is why I say that 1 Peter, 2 Peter, and James are problematic because they are not in this system. Building this system is called every word. What is not systematic is not called every word. Why do many people live under the curse of the wrong gospel? Because they lack this system.

If you are an accountant, you must form an accounting system. If you are a lawyer, you must form a legal system. If you are an engineer, you must form an engineering system. I tell you why you need to form a system. Because seeking God, God's will is like this. God is a God of revelation. The Apostle Paul said in Galatians: I did not receive it from any man, but I received it through the revelation of Jesus Christ. The process of forming the Chinese Mingding Doctrine system is itself God's revelation. In these last days, God will reveal this mystery of the gospel again, so that we can understand God's will and God's plan again through God's revelation and through Paul's epistles.

Once, I said that the Nicene Creed was not a system, and some people objected. Does everyone know the Nicene Creed and the Apostles' Creed? If you don't know, you can listen to it or look for it. The Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed say: I believe in the Holy Spirit, I believe in the Holy Catholic Church, I believe that Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary, came into the world, suffered under Pontius Pilate, and then died and was buried. That's it.

I said that stuff is useless. Everyone who has experienced it knows that stuff is useless. I am telling the truth, but some people object. How can you say that stuff is useless? Because after people memorised it, some were deceived by Jehovah's Witnesses, and some were deceived by Eastern Lightning. I found that stuff to be completely useless, with no power at all. They thought that after memorising this stuff, they could go to heaven. What are you memorising that stuff for? I don't know either.

God is a God of revelation. The God of revelation allows us to build an entire system of faith. It is not reciting a spell or memorising something. After memorising it, you are still stuck in a very primitive stage. Everyone should know that there are many things I cannot explain so clearly, but I can tell you that I explained them too clearly in the 101 course. I encourage you to go to the website and listen to the 101 course. If you are from outside, you must listen to the 101 course. The 101 course establishes a basic framework.

Do you know how to build a house? If you have never built a house, I will tell you that you must first dig a big pit, make a foundation, and work for a long time, digging very deep; then make a foundation, which takes a long time; building a building is not building one floor and decorating one floor, and then building the second floor and decorating the second floor. No, you must first lay the foundation and erect the pillars, and then make the beams, which are all rough. That is called building a framework. It is very rough, but the shape is there, and you can tell what the building will look like. Is it difficult? It's not difficult. The framework looks like that stuff. So this is called establishing a framework.

101 is a framework. Building a victorious church is the most important concept revealed in the New Testament. Who does God reveal these things to? He reveals them to those who seek Him. I can tell you that this 101 course is the second edition. When I wrote the first edition, I was very uncomfortable every day. I just couldn't figure it out. I knelt there every day to pray, seek, write, and work; and finally, what I wrote was pretty good. Now this second edition is even better. God gives these revelations to those who seek Him, to those whom God pleases; those who do not seek, God lets them be hardened. That is the framework. The details are added little by little, which is not difficult. In fact, everyone starts with establishing a framework no matter what they learn. If I say that this framework makes you confused all at once, then I'm sorry.

This generation needs a transformation, from a scattered, left-pile, right-pile, left-stroke, right-stroke, chaotic mess, to organising it into a system of building a system of faith. I give it a name: Chinese Mingding Doctrine. Chinese Mingding Doctrine is systematic theology. Why can we say that we are doing this transformation of Christianity in the new era? Because in this generation, I tell you, I may not have studied enough, but I have studied quite a bit. There is really no systematic faith; it is all very chaotic.

So we begin to establish a global view, construct a framework, and have an overall concept. The church is key. If you ask me what healing and deliverance are, the foundation of healing and deliverance is the victorious church. God will build this church on the rock, God will give us the keys of heaven, so that what we bind on earth will be bound in heaven; and what we release on earth will be released in heaven. When we establish the 101 course, establish such a framework, and then we sort out these concepts one by one, it will be much better.

A while ago, I gave a series of foundational courses, established a framework, and before this framework, there was a set of foundational courses. I may really need to sort it out again and call it 001 before 101. I wish that brothers and sisters would no longer live in confusion. I will read the titles of the second edition of the 101 course: From Seeking to Believers. Lesson 1: Living as a Human is Spiritual. Lesson 2: Humans Need God to Live, because it is a spiritual matter, so shouldn't you find the greatest God in the spiritual world? Humans need God to live, without God it is a tragedy! Lesson 3: Receiving God's Grace Through Faith, Lesson 4: Unbelief is the Root of Not Receiving Grace, Lesson 5: The Two Most Important Things in Life: Blessing and Curse, which is the curse we are talking about now. Lesson 6: The Key to Being Blessed is Victory, Lesson 7: The Key to Victory Lies in Spiritual Height, so you must strive upward. Lesson 8: Above the Spiritual Peak is the Temple of God. If you want to ascend the mountain of Jehovah, enter the temple of the God of Jacob, that is what it means. Lesson 9: Building God's Glorious Church is Our Destiny. What a great framework, it is clear all at once.

Conclusion

People must come out of curses. The price that people pay for curses is too heavy and without any glory. We save that price and spend it on pursuing God, pursuing spiritual things, and knowing the truth. Paying the price for knowing the truth and being blessed is worthwhile! Paying the price for curses is too tragic! Paying the price for knowing the truth and being blessed is taken for granted. So brothers and sisters should strive throughout their lives to enter into perfection and grow into the fullness of the stature of Jesus Christ. This is the key to Chinese Mingding Doctrine.

Brothers and sisters, where have we reached in being blessed? In the days to come, we must look forward to God's more wonderful works appearing in our lives. This is such a wonderful thing, great!

May God bless everyone!
