I. Introduction

Good day to all! Today, we will delve into a fascinating topic, one that serves as a perfect culmination of many sermons delivered in the past: A Temple Built with Jewels! Just the other day, I was in conversation with two pastors, whom I treated to a meal. As I was hosting them, I was contemplating how I might convey to them the essence of Chinese Mingding Destiny. It is a treasure, I tell you. No matter who you are, if you follow Chinese Mingding Destiny – if you adhere to the concept of building a glorious church, the theory of building a glorious church, as conveyed by the Apostle Paul – I assure you, success in building is certain, for God delights in such endeavors.

And so I told them, Our church holds daily prayer meetings. To which he responded, How is that possible? I tell you, our church holds daily prayer meetings. Then I shared with them, Our brothers and sisters each dedicate nearly twenty hours a week to reading God's Word, to learning God's Word, to serving, and to being served. He retorted, How is that possible? He then said to me, Pastor Liu, perhaps that is feasible in your church, but in our location, it is simply not possible.

I pondered, Why is it impossible in their location? Because of the people in their location. He cited numerous examples, noting that the brothers and sisters in the church did not even tithe. Can that be called a church? And each has their own set of beliefs, each has invented their own ministry. Tithes are not fully given to the church, but a portion is retained for personal ministries. Engaging in this and that, in many strange and peculiar activities.

I found it quite amusing, and I said, Do you know that everyone among us is healed? He replied, How is that possible? One hundred percent healed! Why should it be impossible? I said, Everyone among us is a valiant soldier. This might sound boastful, but I say it in faith. Everyone is like Jesus Christ, like the Apostle Paul. But this too is said in faith, and it is indeed what I intend to accomplish in the future. How could it not be possible? It is possible! So today, brothers and sisters, do you realize that I have accomplished something impossible? Because through God, nothing is impossible.

Today, brothers and sisters, you must understand that in Chinese Mingding Destiny, we treasure only jewels, not garbage. And so I am very grateful to God, exceedingly grateful! Grateful for what? For creating the devil. The other day, the devil said to me, Pastor Liu, I am actually helping you build the church. I thought, The devil helping me build the church? How intriguing. I particularly enjoy saying this. Why? Because I have finally found my place, and I have also found the devil's place. In truth, both are to complete the Church of Jesus Christ, to fulfill God's will.

In eternity, there is such a beautiful purpose: that a group of jewels be chosen by God from the world to build God's glorious temple. The temple of God is built with jewels. You and I are jewels, do you understand? You and I are jewels! It is exciting to hear, isn't it? If you are not one today, begin today, until you become a jewel in God's eyes. Even scavengers know to pick the good stuff. In Singapore, scavengers are called glkuni. Did you know that? Glkuni are scavengers. When we were working there, the scavenger would come and ask, Do you still need this cardboard box? I would say, Take it. It's garbage, I don't need it. Isn't that right? He doesn't want garbage, he wants the cardboard box. Why? Because it can be sold for money.

Even scavengers pick the good stuff. I ask you, would our God pick garbage? I loathe some people in the church, I truly loathe them. I find these people particularly interesting. One day, they bring broken junk from their home and ask, Pastor, can I bring this to the church? I ask, What is this? They reply, It's what we no longer need at home. What you no longer need, I want?

How absurd! A broken microwave, a broken induction cooker, greasy and sticky, brought to me. I ask, What are you doing? Do you think I'm a junk collector? Get out, get out, be gone! That's too much, isn't it? Then broken quilts, broken mattresses, broken clothes… Are these needed here? These are not needed here. This is not a junk collection center, not a garbage dump.

Do you all know that Alibaba has built a shop called Taobao? Alibaba built Taobao, not Ali-baba, Taobao not Tao-shi. Understand? If their nickname was Ali-shi, what would you call it? If we then gave them an icon, you imagine? Someone once sent me that icon. I took one look: my goodness, spiral-shaped, with rising heat. I said, Sending me a pile of this, trying to disgust me? I found it very amusing.

Let's rename Taobao to Tao-shi, without changing the color, still orange-yellow. But the shape becomes spiral, with rising heat. I ask you, can this sell anything? Right? This cannot sell anything. God wants only jewels! How could it be possible? It must be so! God wants only jewels! I tell you, it is not my will to be done, but God's will to be done. Many years ago, I built a church according to the Word of God in the Bible. They told me, Pastor Liu, you cannot build a church like that. I found it strange. I am building a church according to the Word of God, how could it not be built? I only want jewels, I do not want garbage, is that alright? They said no! Let me tell you, if I were to build a church like theirs, I would rather close the doors.

I once said to God, Even if I am the only one left, I will build God's glorious church. God's standards will never be lowered, God's standards will never be compromised! I believe this is what God desires. After so many years, I see God's glory filling our midst. I am truly grateful to God for giving me such a conviction, truly grateful. Remember, God wants only jewels! I am the same. I only want jewels, because I am building His Church according to God's Word.

Many years ago, I met a very famous pastor. This famous pastor would accept any kind of member. Wasn't that a gathering? The aisle in the hallway, a row of chairs on one side, a row of chairs on the other side. The chairs on one side were for those who agreed with speaking in tongues, and the chairs on the other side were for those who disagreed with speaking in tongues. My heavens, I said, Pastor, I feel so sorry for you. How do you preach your sermon? I had no idea how to preach. There was also a church that was quite interesting. The morning service was for those who did not agree with speaking in tongues and did not agree with healing and deliverance. The evening service was for those who agreed with speaking in tongues and agreed with healing and deliverance. I wondered, What is this thing? What is this? I was shocked.

Then the famous pastor told me that the preachers in their church, oh, these preachers were fighting each other. Fighting to the death. Fighting bitterly. I said I felt sorry for him, that he would manage such a church. He said, I have a way. I asked, What way? I will separate the three of them and let them build their own churches. Could that solve the problem? As long as there is disunity in the church, it is still disunity. Separating them still leads to disunity. Oh, it was chaos, everything was there.

The most interesting thing was what? A piece of garbage left and left the church, and the pastor convinced him to come back. Anything could happen. One of our co-workers was formerly at another church, and someone left the church and came back. As a result, the lead pastor asked our brother to apologize to this person. Many people had to apologize, just to get him to return, that garbage. Thank God, we only collect jewels. You see, many churches' jewels are hidden in piles of garbage. We bring the jewels out from the garbage piles, and we thank God. I do have a theoretical foundation. My theoretical foundation is all in the Bible.

Moses built the tabernacle entirely with gold, silver, and treasure. Do you know the ephod? That breastplate, six jewels in front, six jewels in the back, that kind of thing. The jewels were engraved with the names of the twelve tribes, meaning that God intended for the twelve tribes to become jewels in His eyes. Why didn't He find a few pebbles? Right? Find a few broken cardboard boxes, write the names of the twelve tribes on them, and make an ephod. Find a few broken cardboard boxes, write the names of the twelve tribes with a marker, and wear them on the chest and back. Seeing that, one would think they were garbage collectors. They should not be Moses, they should be Ji Gong.

You know David built the temple. Amazing! All jewels. All made of gold, hundreds of tons of gold. That remarkable! Even in this day and age, if a country has gold reserves of hundreds of tons, that is a remarkable thing. Hundreds of tons of gold used to build a temple, that temple cost a lot of money.

Imagine we lay tile, using those bags of cement, grout. Did you know that the grout in the temple Israel built was gold? Using gold grout. Oh my goodness, that was so amazing. Using gold to cover tables, using gold to cover poles. It was truly extraordinary. As a result, God's glory filled David's temple, filled Moses' tabernacle. Do we want to see God's glory when we build a church today? We want to see God's glory. Then throw away impossible concepts. How could it be impossible? Absolutely possible! Today, I have accomplished something impossible.

Think about it. People live in houses that need to be decorated with quality materials. If you are building a temple for God, can you use garbage and refuse? No. Right? You can use a minimalist style, but don't be so minimalist with God. Understand? We can use a minimalist style, but never use this minimalist style to build God's glorious church. God doesn't dwell in temples made by human hands. God's standards have never been lowered!

I know clearly in my heart that when I was an ordinary member in the church, I read the Bible diligently. I deeply understood what God wants. God wants treasures. So today you must know that there are houses that cost 1,000 per square meter, and there are houses that cost 10,000 per square meter. Do you believe there are also houses that cost 100,000 per square meter? Also, it's just that you don't know. It depends on whether the floor is covered in gold, the walls covered in gold.

So today, brothers and sisters, do you know that I read the Bible very closely? As I read, I feel that some things are not quite right. I am probably the first person in history, at least I have not seen anyone, who, based on my current level of understanding, has completely rejected Peter's logic system of building a church. Peter builds a church, and oh! One prayer, three thousand people believe. One message, five thousand people believe. Later, in many seminaries, this is taken as a case study for church revival.

They opened a course called Church Growth. At the time, I thought, What is this? In fact, I tell you, it is a negative example. Why is it a negative example? If he had done it correctly, God would not have chosen a Paul. Growth, how can there be 3,000 people, how can there be 5,000 people? I have studied these things in detail. I used to think it was good, more people meant more chairs were filled.

Later, in the process of building the church, I also said to God, God! We have so few people. God ignored me. At that time, we shouted, Build a church with one hundred and twenty elite soldiers. We've shouted for many years but haven't reached that number. My heart was ice-cold. But I must say that even though there weren't one hundred and twenty, the brothers and sisters in those years had a great feeling. My building of people's faith was good, my releasing of vision was good, but in my heart, it was still ice-cold. God! When will we have more people? As a result, fewer and fewer people came, and they all ran online. Later, I realized that it was not a perseverance of faith, but because my standards were high.

I tell you, even in those extremely desolate years, it wasn't that I wasn't doing it right, it was that I couldn't respect many churches. I said to the brothers and sisters among us, See? Even if we die, we must build God's glorious church. They all said, Amen! Understand? Even if I am the only one left, I will build God's glorious church, and never lower God's standards! Among us, that was many years ago. Thinking back now, I feel shocked. How could we have such faith? But I know that God's will is so.

Until today, do you think I will lower God's standards? No, and God will not lower standards. In many churches they keep pulling people in. Do you know? Our church pushes people out. I congratulate you if you weren't pushed out! The church Peter built became a broken church that collected junk. A rotten pastor built a rotten church. Even if there are 3,000 people, 5,000 people, I look down on them! I tell you, I am a very principled person!

Even today, I must say something arrogant, which is that when I look at many things with God's standards, I often say that carnal pastors build carnal churches and lead a group of carnal Christians. How is it possible not to be cursed? Right? Oh, there are all kinds of curses, but no God. But I thank God! God is faithful, and we build according to these standards. Did you see it? Did you see God's presence? Did you see God's glory? Yes.

Today, we are still doing one thing, which is doing the impossible. We see with our own eyes that those who appeared to be garbage have become treasures today because they have been recreated in Jesus Christ, become a new creation, treasures. Understand? You are no longer garbage, you are treasure. Can we find a mirror now or open the mirror on your phone and tell yourself, pointing at the person in the mirror, yourself: You are treasure in God's eyes! Amen! How is it possible to be treasure? As we speak, it becomes possible, because you and I are people who trust in God.

Over the past years, many of my sermons have encouraged everyone to become treasures! Why do I want you to let go? Because that is garbage, that is excrement. You cling to a pile of excrement, what's the point? You are a treasure, do you need this excrement? No need. Over the past time, I gave Be Glorious Vessels!. Do you remember them?

I also gave Seeking Glory, Honor, and Imperishable!. That is what God's treasures do! We are Taobao, not Tao-shi.

And then I tell you, I also gave All Things Are Possible for Those Who Believe! If you believe, like I did back then, persevering for so many years, what will happen? We will see God's glory with our own eyes. In the brain don't have word impossible. I am doing a great job recently thinking everyday how to let the brothers or sisters become precious in God's eyes. Then God's kingdom is not in words but in power!, Why? Because here has glory and power of God. Completely understanding and choosing better rewards. Today do not keep asking teacher how to be precious treasures with God. There is still more. I am the only one. It is God's house not made by hand but made by God and made by the jewel.

If people would build temples with trash it will happen danger, the temple is building for trash.

You should make sure about what treasures are great! But people do not think that those who are timid and are set fire. And i thank God to create trust. Now will go to Revelation 21:10

II. Scripture

And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper, clear as crystal. And she had a great and high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates were inscribed the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. On the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And the one who spoke with me had a gold measuring rod to measure the city and its gates and its wall. The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its width. And he measured the city with the measuring rod, 12,000 stadia. Its length and width and height are equal. He also measured its wall, 144 cubits by human measurement, which is also an angel's measurement. The wall was made of jasper, while the city was pure gold, like clear glass. The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb. (Revelation 21:10-22)

III. Prayer

Oh God! Today, we implore You to manifest Your glory in us, to reveal Your beautiful will in us; Oh God! We also invite Your Spirit to enter within us, to deal with us, to put to death our flesh, to let us live by trusting in Your heart; Oh God! Mold us, make us treasures in Your eyes, remove the garbage from our minds and thoughts, let us fully know Your will in understanding; Oh God! In the last days, may the glory of this New Jerusalem City have a share for me, may I be a part of the body of Jesus Christ; Oh God! I want to be a part of the bride of the Lamb; Oh God! Let me resolve today to build Your glorious Church! In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

IV. Scripture Background

The background of this passage is the Book of Revelation. Among Bible books, two are pivotal: Genesis and Revelation. One marks the beginning, and the other brings closure. This echoes Jesus' proclamation: I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. Thus, it behoves us to diligently study Genesis and Revelation. I once penned a book on Revelation's exegesis, titled The Revelation of the Victorious Church.

Indeed, Revelation elucidates the victorious Church. The notion of victory permeates Revelation, evidenced by the frequent mention of victory. The Book unveils the Church, evoking John's reflection on his shared ministry with Peter and their endeavour to construct dilapidated churches. John shared this experience with Peter, journeying the road of the broken church. Those broken churches made John feel cold and abandoned.

Then, receiving enlightenment directly from God, he inscribed the Gospel accoridng to John and the Revelation. The Gospel John prioritizes shepherding. The churches were too rotten to shepherd or anything. Jesus told Peter to shepherd Peter's gospel to shepherd his sheep because that time Peter never went back. But later John wrote a letter that talked about them. The best thing about the mouth wasn't Peter.

John made efforts to write Revelation. Now can you link anything? The way that book works is the best. Not a church or anything. People have to destroy people around them. Peter did just that. That is not it. If you read this Chapter then you will come and feel this:

The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son. But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:7-8)

Paul's letters are important that John need to read. I am sure John had read that. Revelation brings better taste that they have been wrong a lot. But Johns is good.

If you read Revelation Chapter 11, and if you haven't been raptured by that time to meet the Lord in the air, then you are in deep trouble! After Chapter 12, you can only wait for martyrdom. There is no escaping death, whether you are martyred or not. That's the reality, but it has nothing to do with us. I firmly believe it has nothing to do with me; I will definitely be raptured when the church is raptured in Chapter 11. Once, a sister got the time wrong and wondered why no one was in the group. She searched for a long time, only to realise she had mistaken the day of the Lord. She made frantic calls, and when I answered, she exclaimed, Oh, Pastor! I asked, What's wrong? She said, Pastor, I thought you had all been raptured! She was frightened, thinking we had all been taken, leaving her alone. If we were all raptured, and she was left with only one destiny that is to be martyred, anyway she will die right?

If you become a traitor to God's kingdom and live for a few more years, you will eventually be struck down by God. If you are martyred at that time, you can still enter the kingdom of God. Then comes the seven bowls. After the seven seals and the seven trumpets, when God sounds the trumpet, it won't have much to do with us. The world will then face the judgment of the seven bowls. Do you think it is not very serious not to be victorious? It is a very serious thing not to be victorious. And then after the seven bowls, after the judgment of Jesus Christ, He will lead the saints to rule the world for a thousand years. And after a thousand years, Satan will be released again, and many will be deceived. I also find it very strange, how can there be so many people deceived again? Then Jesus Christ will strike down these people again, and those who are victorious and faithful to God will become the glorious New Jerusalem. Do you understand? That is the Book of Revelation.

What does the Book of Revelation reveal? The city of God, the temple of God, is made of jewels, and those jewels are you and I, definitely not a bunch of rubbish. If the time arrangement has now reached a certain stage, I tell you that the time node has already reached the degree that it is almost six thousand years from the creation of the world and the creation of man. Everyone thinks about it, it has been six thousand years. Then the seventh thousand years is when Jesus Christ leads His disciples in this world, and after seven thousand years, the New Jerusalem descends from heaven. Do you understand? I think this is a very interesting thing. Then why is Satan released again? It is to take away the rubbish. You must know that the devil helps me build the church. What does he do? Help me collect rubbish. Oh, how wonderful is God's design! Then the question is, are you that rubbish? Do you understand? I think our brothers and sisters must develop a habit of being a treasure in the eyes of God.

Do not ever be trash, or refuse. Because those are to be thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, and burned together with the trash! It is destroyed when burned with the trash, isn't it? Therefore, the background of the Book of Revelation that I am talking about, by Chapter 21, the seventh thousand years has already passed, and then the New Jerusalem descends. From then on, I can be with God forever, and that is my eternal hope! This is the background of this passage.

Five, Restore the Concept of the Church

Restoring the concept of the church is very important! Because the Book of Revelation speaks of the victorious church. You must know that the concept of salvation replacing the church has been around for a long time. It is the Chinese Mingding Destiny that has restored the concept of the church. Maybe others have restored it before, but many people do not take building God's glorious church as their mission. They preach a gospel that seems to create one Salvation, two Salvation, and then they are saved and become salvation. Wow, one person accepts the Lord, and another person accepts the Lord, but there is no concept of victory, no concept of the church, and everyone does their own thing.

Therefore, I met an old pastor who gave me a wry smile. He used to be the senior pastor of a church, and everyone in this church was very rich, but everyone only gives a portion of their tithe. They don't tithe to the church, and keep a large part in their own hands. Everyone has their own ministries. Some deliver food on the streets, some go to the Muslim world, some go to Pakistan, and they do a lot of these new things. They do not have the concept of the church. If that pastor makes a shout, no one responds. Can you say that this church can fight? Then this church cannot fight. If the church cannot fight, is that not a problem? They only care about how many people are saved, and do not care about how many people are victorious. Isn't that a problem? They don't care about how many treasures there are in the church. It is just a pile of rubbish, not much different from the church built by Peter.

In fact, the church is God's will. Can our brothers and sisters grasp this concept today? Because the church is God's will, the church is the bride of Jesus Christ, the church is the temple of God, and the church is the body of Jesus Christ. The key is victory, victory is spiritual warfare, and spiritual warfare is to build God's church according to God's army. In today's churches that is eight hundred vassals, that is the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period. What we see today in the churches, the churches are simply the epitome of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period. We must restore the concept of the church.

Therefore, if you have no church concept when you come to Chinese Mingding Destiny, you have come to the wrong place. If you want to see the glory of God, you must build the church, you must be of one heart and mind with me, and build a holy and united church. Then why? Because your problems are immediately reflected when you interact with people, when the church is united. Many of us have problems, including our pastors, with a strong sense of self. We like this and don't like that, we don't like that then likes this. They all follow their own preferences. I ask you, can your interpersonal relationships be good? If your interpersonal relationships are not good, then your interpersonal relationships in the church will not be good either. It's all about yourself, not about God's words. But because of disunity, poor interpersonal relationships are fully revealed. In fact, what is revealed is the impurity of people, which is not a treasure in God's eyes, but rubbish.

I think that until today, we are still constantly removing the rubbish from people and shaping people into treasures in God's eyes, and that is shepherding. Therefore, brothers and sisters, start to readjust. The church is a very wonderful thing, because without the church, you cultivate alone, and your problems cannot be seen. Your problems cannot be seen, and everything is fine. Therefore, in the process of building the church, the impurity in you is revealed, isn't it?

And one more feature, what did I find? I found that people can see other people's problems very clearly. They cannot see their own problems very clearly, so I arranged for you to shepherd, didn't I? Arranging for you to shepherd, you can see other people's problems very clearly. But I can see your problems clearly too. If we keep doing this, then everyone can enter a state of mutual edification. Therefore, the shepherding of the church is not for the people who are being shepherded, but for the people who are shepherding. Build this concept little by little. Good! I would like to restore the concept of the church, because from Martin Luther's justification by faith to the fallacies of the church, maybe he did a good thing for God, I don't know if it was a bad thing for God.

In fact, the Bible is written in black and white, and if you read it carefully in that era, you would be able to read God's will, but people do not believe it. But after he created this thing of justification by faith, he eliminated the concept of the church. Therefore, it has become an extremely chaotic situation. Some people ask me, why are there so many denominations in Christianity? It is from the Reformation that there have been so many denominations. In fact, there should only be one denomination, the Jesus denomination is the right one. Therefore, restoring the concept of the church is a key to us becoming treasures. Do you understand? If you ask me, how can I become a treasure in God's eyes? Because God's will is to build God's glorious church. Therefore, you must follow God's will, and the church is God's wisdom. You must know that, and you must have a similar view to God. Isn't it? If you don't build a church, what are you talking about? You're just messing around.

Six, The Church Is Composed of a Group of Overcoming Disciples

Can everyone understand? The church is composed of a group of overcoming disciples. What is an overcoming disciple? The church is not a group of believers. There are many people who believe in Jesus, and Jesus has sent them all away. Isn't that right? After eating the bread, go and do whatever you want. Are you full from the five loaves and two fish? I'm full. Get lost! Jesus didn't say that. That's what I said. That's what I said in my heart. If you don't want to be my disciple, you just want to eat the bread, go and do whatever you want. I'm being very direct. If you are also such a person, you just want to get some heat from us, you just want to get some blessings from us. Then I have to tell you, you have received it, so go and do whatever you want. This place is for Jesus, to leave everything behind and follow the Lord.

If you want to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, you have to leave behind your parents, brothers and sisters, wife, children, fields, and houses. You say, how many are there? How is that possible? I'll give you a nickname: How is that possible. Like a Manchu name, with the surname That and the name How is that possible, Mr. That. How is it possible that there aren't any? Because what God wants are treasures. I ask you, are there more stones, more treasures, or more rubbish on the street? Of course, there are fewer jewels, aren't there? There's more rubbish. If you pull a ton of ore, it's good if there are five grams of gold in it. There is more sand and less gold!

God does not want rubbish or sand. What God wants are treasures, are jewels. What is called a jewel? It is precious because it is rare. It is also a stone, but it is a stone that is rarely seen. Therefore, it is because there are not many of them. Don't get it wrong. If you don't grasp this concept, you're in trouble. It's not a crowd of rabble. Don't organize a crowd of rabble. Brothers and sisters, this is not a charity, and this is not a hospital. If you get cancer, should I just serve you? I have to shape you into a treasure. Everyone must know that if a person gets cancer, there is already too much rubbish in it. The rubbish is so much that it becomes cancer. Cancer cells are the embodiment of rubbish.

In fact, today I tell you that I am already a little clear in my heart about this kind of thing. I deal with serving patients with cancer, and I give them a severe scolding. If you can withstand the scolding, then I will turn you into a treasure. It is very simple to heal cancer, but if you keep creating cancer cells inside, that is the trouble. Brothers and sisters, do not build a rabble church. Even if I pray and minister to these people, my goal has never changed. That is to build a holy, united church full of God's glory, and everyone must be a treasure. I don't need the chairs to be full of people. I need the chairs to be full of treasures.

Many pastors really think this way. Don't say I'm criticizing them. He said, To build a church, there must be people! It doesn't matter if there is no God. There must be people! Look at what kind of mind this is. Only with people can there be money! Only with money can I pay salaries. It doesn't matter whether there is a God or not. Oh, my God! How offending to God is this! They're just staring at that matter. Today, we are building God's glorious church. We must know that what God wants are treasures. God builds His temple with jewels. Therefore, we must remove the myth of numbers!

In fact, sometimes I really thank God. God has dug a lot of pits in the Bible and put a lot of stumbling stones to make people fall. Do you know why? You say that this Luke, wrote a Book of Acts, can you write it clearly? Don't do that! We won't do that. Isn't that right? No. He deliberately wrote it that way. Wow! Three thousand people believed in the Lord, five thousand people believed in the Lord, and then everyone gave glory to God. To write that Luke is also life-threatening.

Those are the pits. Those aren't the pits, those are the pits You and I! Fortunately, we have seen through it, and we have crossed these pits and stones. We didn't fall. Who told me to see so clearly! Yes? I think Luke writes things very vaguely. The Book of Acts is about this. This is the ingenuity of the Bible. The wonder is that it is a stumbling stone. If you are not careful, you will fall into the pit. If you are not careful, you will be tripped over by the stone. What's the problem? After the church is built, it is all smoky and messy. Is that what God wants? No.

Later, I figured it out. God chose the Apostle Paul because the Apostle Paul built the church according to God's will. The Apostle Paul did not build the church according to Peter's ideas, but according to Jesus Christ's method. You must know that some people say that God wants everyone to be saved, but not everyone is a treasure. Someone typed that Luke is very bad. No! This is God's will. That's not what Luke wanted to do. That's what God wants to do. Jesus Christ was raised up. This child was raised up to make many people rise up and many people fall! God's will is so.

Then if God releases Satan in Revelation after the first thousand years and confuses many people again, God will kill them with the sword of His mouth. Is that bad? Not bad. God's will is so. But not everyone is a treasure. God only wants treasures. What should you do with those treasures? You must know the concept of the church. You must know that a church is composed of a group of overcoming disciples. Are you looking at the truth already? Luke cleverly dug a pit for this matter. So, can our brothers and sisters know it today? The Apostle Paul's logical system is a logical system to deal with the flesh and obey the Spirit. Dealing with the flesh and obeying the Spirit is the only way for overcoming disciples.

Therefore, a Christian must deal with the concepts that we originally have in our lives. The concepts that we originally have are all fleshly. I am very grateful to God. I really don't know today whether I was born this way or whether I became this way later. But I thank God that God has given me such a determination to not follow my own will. Actually, sometimes I tell you that I serve with super heartache. I serve with such discomfort. I tell you, it's annoying! Annoyed God is fed up and said it again and again, and then people still go their own way. No matter how you say it, no matter how you teach it, it's still the same. I'm so annoyed. I mean it. But brothers and sisters, don't worry. I think that when God called me, He gave me a determination to not do things according to my own preferences, but to do things according to God's will.

Until today, I declare with faith that every brother and sister among us is a treasure in the eyes of God! If I didn't have this kind of faith, I wouldn't be able to continue. So, you know what? The church must be constantly transformed, and our pastoral system must be constantly transformed. Until today, we are still developing pastoral care with artificial intelligence. In the past few months, our artificial intelligence has made great progress and great breakthroughs. We have been waiting for this day for a long time, and then I tell you that I am really excited. I tell you that just when we were waiting bitterly, God allowed our artificial intelligence to make a great breakthrough, which is today's GPT.

Next, we really want to do pastoral care with artificial intelligence. I tell you that pastoral care with artificial intelligence is even better than human care. In the future, our pastors must be careful when answering questions, because he goes to Urim and Thummim GPT to ask how to handle this matter. And then come to you hypocritically and ask: Teacher, how should this problem be handled? As a result, your answer is different from the answer on GPT. He will say: Oh, that's all your real level is. Yes? Our pastors are facing challenges! Therefore, our brothers and sisters must continue to grow on this path and continue to grow in the knowledge of God's Word. I thank God!

Some time ago, a brother asked me if he could improve the search on our website? Later, I didn't care much about it. Why? That search is not important. When I finish this GPT thing, I tell you that it will be much better, so much better! Today, I once again reinforce the concept of the church. The church is composed of a group of overcoming disciples who will be disciples in Jesus Christ. You say, give up? How many people can give it up? Not many. We still have to do it this way even if there are not many. Why? That's the treasure.

Seven, What God Wants Is Really a Treasure

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)

You must know that those who are victorious and overcome their flesh are treasures in God's eyes, those who trust in God are treasures, and those who have faith are treasures! Therefore, these people of faith, from ancient times to Abraham, to Jesus Christ, to the Apostle Paul, and to us today, have never changed: without faith, it is impossible to please God; therefore, today we must do one thing, which is to constantly build people's faith on God's Word, not according to your own knowledge, your own knowledge is of no great use.

Only one thing is useful, and that is God's Word. You must be molded and shepherded to become a glorious vessel of God. God only wants such treasures. You say, teacher, am I a vessel of wrath created by God to manifest His wrath? Yes. Who told you to ask that question? Why are you asking this question when you are idle? Why can't we willingly be vessels of glory of God? Why can't we willingly be treasures in God's eyes? Say to God, I want to be a treasure in your eyes! Good, today, turn on the mirror on your phone again and say: you want to be a treasure in God's eyes! Point to yourself and say it willingly.

Eight, Only the Cowardly and Unbelieving Are Rubbish

But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)

Therefore, it is said: Those who are cowardly, unbelieving, vile, murderers, sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, idolaters and all liars, these are rubbish, not treasures. You must know for sure that you are timid because you are unbelieving. We must never think that I am born timid. What is natural is useless. Born? Then I was born wearing open-crotch pants, wasn't I? Is that right? If you wear open-crotch pants on the street today, people will arrest you and treat you as a madman. Is that right? What is natural? What natural? There is nothing natural. That natural thing is of no use. What's the use of being natural? Growth is the most important thing. We must continue to grow and constantly build ourselves up in faith. A person's timidity is a bad habit. You must know that a person's timidity is life-threatening. Why did those people become traitors? They were greedy for life and afraid of death, so they became traitors. Is that right? Who would become a traitor if they had courage? Who would become a traitor if they had a bit of backbone? No one becomes a traitor.

Therefore, we cannot develop the habit of timidity in the kingdom of God. Timidity and unbelief are closely related. If a person has faith, he will not be timid. If he is not timid, he will have faith. Faith and timidity are opposites. If a person is timid, he will become rubbish. He will go with the devil to the lake of fire and brimstone, to the garbage incinerator. Having faith in God and not following oneself may give us a feeling of fear, which is normal. When I stand on a high building, looking down from the window, my legs also go numb. Who is not afraid? I am also afraid. But I don't follow my fear. I follow my faith in God. So be it dead or alive. Is that right?

Today, the temple God builds is built with jewels. What God builds with jewels is His church. We are jewels, and we are the temple of God! Therefore, in the depths of my faith, I have always looked forward to the coming of that day! To enter into a state of perfect unity with God. To let God's will be done in my body! God's plans and God's will are revealed to us in Revelation.

God's plan has been revealed to us. Today, we have understood it. We know that there will be a day at the end when we must enter into God's plan, perfectly become the bride of God. The bride of God is the new holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from heaven and filling the earth with the glory of God. Look! God's tabernacle is in the human world! He will be with us, and we will be His people. God will be with us in person, wiping away all our tears. There will be no more death, no more sorrow, crying or pain. Because the previous things have passed away. Look! All things have been renewed.

Today, let God's Word enter our hearts, and let that How is that possible be removed from among us. Let us not have this word in us, no this Impossible. Let us not have the word How is that possible in our midst. Let our hearts be refocused on God's Word. Our God is the God who brings something out of nothing. Even if there are no these people, God will raise up children of Abraham from the stones. Do you understand? God will raise up children of Abraham from the stones! Today, let us dig out God's treasures from all over the world. We are the real treasure hunters. We will really dig out the treasures to build God's glorious church and become God's glorious temple.

Nine, Summary

I think that God is a God who is doing new things. The past us has passed, and there is not much taste left. Next, God will continue to do new things among us. God will continue to do new things, that is, God's more treasures, The glory of God and God's standards must be established among us in heaven. The words I am saying are to motivate the brothers and sisters among us to remove the rubbish among us, the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars, that is to build God's glorious church. This is such a wonderful thing.

We have been promoting building donations recently, and I am really grateful to God. Our brothers and sisters are very enthusiastic about building the church. But you must know
