I. Introduction
Good morning, everyone. Today, I want to share some exceptionally good news: we have resumed our extensive deliverance ministry. I am confident that brothers and sisters in many places are once again experiencing God's immense grace. The topic for today is Preaching the Gospel, Healing the Sick, and Casting Out Demons. I kept thinking that there was a verse in the Bible that said, Preaching the Gospel, healing the sick, and casting out demons, but I could not find it. Then it struck me that I was being rather presumptuous. Later, I discovered that these two acts are written about separately: one is healing the sick, and the other is casting out demons. This is related to the origin of our Chinese Mingding Destiny, which began with casting out demons. Back then, the church was not victorious at all; it was still at the stage of roasted chicken, roasted duck, and braised beef.
In the past, we promoted understanding for a long time, wanting to be filled with the knowledge of God in our understanding, because the truth can set us free. After everyone spent some time promoting understanding, I found that some people, in pursuing understanding, neglected the matter of casting out demons, and as a result, they suffered losses. Have any of you suffered losses? Yes. How do I know? Because they incurred financial losses. Today, I want to give you a concept that you must accept: casting out demons is closely related to your financial situation. If you are in sales, deliverance brings orders; more deliverance, more orders. They do not know why the orders come, but it is because of deliverance. Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must know that the Gospel our Lord Jesus preached is the Gospel of healing the sick and casting out demons. Where did this Gospel come from? It is because Jesus healed the sick and cast out demons. Jesus preached the Gospel, cast out demons, and healed the sick.
Why did I start establishing churches? Because I felt that this matter was not being done well. I was even self-recommending, as God may not necessarily have chosen me. I looked and thought, This is nothing like Jesus. The church was not united, few demons were cast out, but many pastors were driven away. Pastors were not fighting demons, they were fighting each other. It was a mess. So, I started establishing churches. I tell you, our church has come this far entirely because of casting out demons. Actually, the first case was quite an eye-opener. One of my students was doing her graduation project with me, and I often saw her crying in a corner of the cafeteria. I told her, Tell me what is wrong; if I cannot solve it, my God should be able to.
It was a bit difficult because she was infatuated with a boy, completely obsessed. It was unrequited love, and I knew the boy as well. Oh dear, what to do? According to the usual church rules, we would do some work to try and match them up, right? But we do not do that. I am not a marriage agency; why would I do that? One day, I received a call from the police saying that she was standing at the entrance of the subway station, taking a stance with one leg forward and her arms stretched straight up and down, like a statue. Some people saw her on their way to work and thought she was an artist. When they returned from work, the artist was still there. Some even painted their faces bronze, thinking it was a bronze statue, but it was actually a person. However, she had nothing painted on her, just tattered clothes. Then someone called the police. Who stands there stretching all day? So, she was taken to the police station and then to a mental hospital.
I took my small team to the mental hospital and started casting out demons. Back then, our understanding was not good, but we were just foolishly persistent. If one hour was not enough, we would do two hours; if two hours were not enough, we would do three hours, four hours, and then after five hours, she finally relaxed. She was terrifying at the time, with a ferocious look on her face. Aha, she was out of the hospital in a few days. In those days, I was only more persistent than the devil by one minute. Why? Because I believed my God was powerful, truly powerful!
After the examination, there was nothing wrong with her, so the hospital released her. I said to her, Do not do this again; it is too scary. Later, I found out what had happened. Because of her unrequited love, she sought a spiritual solution, but not through Jesus. She found a master who wrote her a spell that she recited at home. While reciting, a young man came in, and she talked with him in the house for two days and two nights. This was what the landlord told me. She was quite bold to be dating a demon!
Actually, the boy she liked never went; it was not him. It is scary to think about. Then she said, Teacher, maybe I did not do it right. I said, What, are you going to continue? She then went back to the master to seek guidance, and she ended up back in the mental hospital, possessed again. My workload was immense. I had to go to the mental hospital to see her, and I cast the demon out again.
What do you think of my skills? My energy is good. As I was casting out the demon, it started to speak. I said, You have to leave; you cannot stay here. The demon said, No, I will not leave. I said, You are quite stubborn. Can you defeat Jesus? The demon said, I cannot, but I will not leave. Then the demon told me the truth: it said that she liked Leslie Cheung. Later, I learned that she listened to Leslie Cheung's songs dozens, even hundreds of times, and watched his movies dozens of times. Were those movies really that good?
Later, I led her in understanding and prayed to renounce this. Aha, the demon left, saying Goodbye! before it left. I said, Goodbye to you? Forget it! The demon was quite humorous and liked to talk to me, but I never want to see it again. After she came out of the hospital, she was fine. I arranged a job for her, but then she started doing it again. I said, Do not do it again; I do not have time to run to the mental hospital every day. I went to the mental hospital during the day and could not sleep until four in the morning because I had too much work. If you go in again, find your father and let him handle it. Many years later, she was seen wandering the streets barefoot and disoriented.
At that time, what victory did our church have? Only brute force. However, I was very clear that the captives must be released and the oppressed set free. Although I am not capable, my God is absolutely capable. This was a good experience. Later, there were many demons and much filth. The church was not quite right, experiencing these curses. Then we repented. What am I saying? Our church has a characteristic: from the beginning, we have imitated Jesus. However, the roasted chicken, roasted duck, and braised beef seemed a bit off, but casting out demons was certain. We started casting out demons on the first day and have continued until now, constantly adjusting along the way.
I tell you, understanding and casting out demons are different levels. Do not think that once you understand, the demons will leave on their own. Have you ever heard of demons leaving on their own? Some people say that if you sing hymns, the demons will leave; if you read the Bible, the demons will leave; if you understand, the demons will leave. It is not quite like that. Demons need to be cast out. If you do not drive out the Japanese devils, will they leave? They occupied vast territories of China; if you do not drive them out, how could they possibly leave? It is not about resisting. Resisting is too passive. Does resisting the devil make him leave? It does not work that way. So, casting out demons is where it all comes from. In fact, when our minds turn to God, the demons will not leave on their own; we still need to cast them out.
Know that a new round of deliverance ministry is about to begin, but this time we are addressing deeper issues. Therefore, you must know that the Gospel we preach today is a Gospel of healing the sick and casting out demons, because that is what Jesus preached. The scope of deliverance is multifaceted. From a young age, I had an understanding that had a profound impact on my later service to God. I realized that many things are inextricably linked to the spirit world. How did I come to this understanding? It started with fortune-telling, which is truly accurate and very eerie. So, I sought to learn how to tell fortunes from people, thinking that if a prophet could know the future, that would be amazing!
My understanding is not bad. I did quite well on the university entrance exams. Seven or eight of my classmates came to my house to play. There was an old neighbor sitting on the kang bed, and her fortune-telling was incredibly accurate. Before the results were even announced, she pointed at each of us and said, You passed this year; you did quite well; you did not pass. The classmate who was told that they did not pass was upset and glared at the old woman, saying, Why do you say I did not pass? The old woman said, Do not disbelieve me. You will pass next year. Your parents' situation, how many siblings you have, and what their problems are... She was so accurate! So, I tried to curry favor with the old woman, hoping she would teach me. She said, I cannot teach you. I said, Why not? Am I not a good learner? She said, It is not that I know these things; it is something in the spirit world that tells me.
When I was young, I had an older cousin and his wife in a commune. A spirit medium would come to my cousin's wife at night, saying, You must become a shaman and heal people. She refused, and then she kept getting sick. Later, she could not resist anymore and became a shaman. People in the village would bring incense, two bottles of wine, some meat, and so on, to seek her help. Because the evil spirit behind her was the Wolf Immortal, our parents did not allow us to go. My cousin's wife never drank alcohol, but when the Immortal came, she would drink two jin (one kilogram), like drinking mineral water, and then eat two jin of raw meat. The incense burned vigorously. As a result, my cousin's wife really did help people in the village. These experiences from my childhood gave me some knowledge of the spirit world. Later, when I believed in Jesus, I realized that these spiritual things are truly powerful.
Demons are especially wicked. Once, my younger brother drove his car off a cliff, falling from the highway. The car was wrecked, but fortunately, he was unharmed. It was on the seventh anniversary of my father's death. Spooky, right? Not long after, when I was casting out demons, the demon laughed. Old Ma told me, Do you know that your brother had a car accident? I said, Yes, I know. He said, Do you know what happened? I said, No. He said, I did it. After he said that, he cackled. The demon was very wicked, and it was infuriating. Aha, the car accident was related to him. I understood that many car accidents are related to them. Yes. Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must know that disasters are closely related to demons; bad luck is closely related to demons; lack of money is closely related to demons; illness is closely related to demons.
Today, I must tell you that in Jesus' healing and deliverance ministry, illness is indeed related to demons, but there are many other things related to demons as well. The Gospel we believe in today is good. It solves problems. Do not believe in a gospel that does not cast out demons. What kind of sound is that? It must be noise. Why did we start casting out demons? I am not the kind of person who likes to explain problems, such as explaining that someone has cerebral atrophy and therefore has Alzheimer's. I do not like to do that. I feel that if we cannot do something, we cannot explain it clearly. Later, I will tell you that my background as an engineer is very useful. I like to solve problems. When an engineer believes in the Lord, you must make things happen and show them what can be done, unlike philosophers who like to talk. I like to do.
Once, someone asked me, Teacher Liu, why do people start having bad luck as soon as they believe in the Lord? I said, They believed in the wrong gospel. I dismissed him immediately. He said, Why is it wrong? I said, I am talking about what I have done, and they are talking about what they cannot do. So, I ask you, what do you believe in? You must believe in Jesus' way. Jesus talked about what Jesus did, and they are talking about what they have not done. Are there any people doing scientific research or engineering here? When you do something, you find that your understanding of things is incorrect. For example, if I want to design a software program, and after writing it, it does not run, that is because something was not considered here or there. Some parts must be completely overturned and redesigned, or it will not be correct. I will boast a little here: the software I write is fast and good. Therefore, everyone should follow me and adopt an engineer's faith.
An engineer's faith in Jesus Christ is making it happen, listening to God's Word and acting on it, and then adjusting when you realize that your understanding is incorrect. Others are not like that. They hear it and think, That is how it is. Is that really how it is? So, my understanding of the spirit world from a young age, including the engineering I later studied, has had a profound impact on my church planting. Therefore, today, let us return to a new logical system, listen to God's Word, and act on it. Only when we act on it does it count. Do not just explain it. Some people always like to explain why they did something stupid, as if doing something stupid is reasonable. Can that be reasonable? Certainly not.
Why are we talking about preaching the Gospel, healing the sick, and casting out demons today? Because healing the sick and casting out demons is doing. Do not just say, I am a Chinese martial arts master, and then get knocked down as soon as you step into the ring. Maybe he did not see clearly behind the scenes and said politely, I will not hit you. Let us not be serious. Let us have some martial ethics. But when he gets into the ring, he is knocked down. Can that work? Today, I tell you, the devil has to fall before me. I am not like some people who talk eloquently but are knocked down by the devil as soon as they step into the ring. That is terrible!
II. Scripture
At that very time there were some Pharisees who came to him, saying, “Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you.” And he said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I finish my course. Nevertheless, I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the day following, for it cannot be that a prophet should perish away from Jerusalem.’ (Luke 13:31-33)
III. Prayer
God! Rise up again today with Your mighty army. God! Manifest Your presence more greatly among us again, so that we may once again trample on the devil and the enemy, releasing those who are captive and oppressed from the hands of the devil, so that Your glory and Your name may be praised, and that Your glory may be manifested among us. Although we face obstacles and risks, we still want to imitate You. Today and tomorrow, we will still cast out demons and heal the sick. We will follow Your path forward and not retreat even if it means sacrificing our lives. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
IV. Scripture Background
Do you all know what Luke is about? It speaks of many falling and many rising because of the rock that is Jesus Christ! The rock that is Jesus Christ is too powerful, and casting out demons is a great foundation. Today, I tell you that eight or nine out of ten churches do not cast out demons, nor can they cast out demons. Why don't they cast out demons? It is very interesting because they say, Do not rejoice in that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.
“Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” (Luke 10:19-20)
Even a primary school student knows how to explain this, but many pastors' explanations are a bit difficult for me to understand. They think that your name being written in heaven is important and that the spirits being subject to you is not important. If the spirits are subject to you, you should not rejoice, but if you are afraid of demons, what is there to rejoice about? If you do not cast out demons, will those problems be solved? Many problems cannot be solved. Why doesn't the church cast out demons? Because they have been deceived by demons, so they cannot even read the simple Bible verses. Many people say, We also cast out demons, we also preach the Gospel, we also do this, and we also do that. But Jesus says, I do not know you. Do you know how they explain it? They say, Because they cast out demons, Jesus does not know them. That is strange. If you do not cast out demons, will Jesus know you? They are all spiritually blind!
Today, do not think that Jesus did something wrong. Everyone must know that we must emulate Jesus. What do I do if I believe in Jesus but do not emulate Jesus? Although I am not a liberal arts student, I have not read the Bible verses incorrectly, have I? So those are all logical errors. This passage talks about something interesting. At that time, many people were killed in that area, mingling the blood of these Galileans with their sacrifices, and then they came to tell Jesus.
And he answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. (Luke 13:2-3)
Later, a tower collapsed and killed eighteen people. In Jesus' time, it was rare for someone to be killed by a car because there were no cars back then. How tall could the buildings of that time be? At most, they were two-story buildings with a few wooden pillars. Could that collapse? Aha, it collapsed and killed eighteen people.
Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” (Luke 13:4-5)
Why did Jesus want them to repent? It was to change from a worldly logical system to a Godly logical system. In a worldly logical system, whether you cast out demons is not important; people just want to live well. Do you think that if you want to live well, you can? You want to live well, but the tower collapses and you are crushed to death. You want to live well, but you are arrested and killed by Pilate, and their blood is mingled with the sacrifices. Bad luck! However, some people think that it is because they have more sins. It is not so. Everyone will perish if they do not repent. It is just that some people are chosen by demons, and some disasters come sooner, while some disasters come later. That is to say, if people do not repent, they will all likewise perish!
Why? If you do not cast out demons, won't the demons cast you out? You are good buddies with demons all day long: I will not provoke you, and you should not provoke me either. That is like meeting someone on the street with tattoos of hairtail all over their body, wearing a big gold chain around their neck, a small watch on their wrist, and huge muscles; that is what it is like walking down the street. You say to him, Brother, I will not provoke you, and you should not provoke me either. I ask you, do you have the guts to say that to him? That is not how it works. It is not that if you do not provoke him, he will not provoke you. The underworld is the underworld. Even if you do not provoke him, he will still provoke you, let alone if you provoke him. So this is closely related to casting out demons. As a result, Jesus said something interesting next,
And he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. And he said to the vinedresser, ‘Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down. Why should it use up the ground?’ And he answered him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put on manure. Then if it should bear fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.’” (Luke 13:6-9)
That is to say, the next thing Jesus talks about is casting out demons, which is very important; otherwise, how could he string it all together? Luke wrote this with logic. If the Christians' logical system does not change, will they not bear spiritual fruit? That is certain. What kind of fruit will they bear? The Scripture goes on to say:
Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. And there was a woman who had had a disabling spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not fully straighten herself. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your disability.” (Luke 13:10-12)
Jesus healed the sick and cast out demons, and the woman was instantly healed. So why are these things written together? This is called the fruit of spiritual authority. Our church was not victorious in those years, but we had the heart, and we really defeated the demons. Why? The gospel we believe today is that the captives are released and the oppressed are set free. I tell you, if the captives and the oppressed come among us, they will surely be healed and released, this is the fruit. The result is that we can really take up this spiritual authority to release these captives and oppressed.
Is such a simple scripture so difficult to understand? Look: Unless you repent, you will all perish as they did. Why? If you don't cast out demons, you will be cast out by demons. Then it says that a tree that does not bear fruit should be cut down. So what is the result? Jesus gave you a demonstration, that is, the result of casting out demons in this way. This is my understanding of the 《Bible》, maybe it is different from yours. Later, some people discussed with Jesus and said: In this case, how many people can be saved? Are there more trees that are cut down or more trees that bear fruit? As a result, Jesus answered:
> Strive to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. When once the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us,’ he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’ Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’ But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!’ (《Luke》 13:24-27)
Many people want to go in but cannot, why? Because he did nothing and bore no fruit. In the past, we thought that preaching a gospel would bear a fruit, and we were so happy to lead people to make a decision and pray. The 《Bible》 does not write like this. Jesus did not say to the hunchbacked person: You continue to be hunchbacked, I will lead you to make a decision and pray, don’t worry, you will definitely go to heaven after you die. Jesus didn’t say that, did he? Yes, click, and it will be fine all of a sudden. But now people don’t believe it, so why is the entrance a narrow door? Think about it, how difficult is it to switch from a worldly logic system to a logic system that belongs to Jesus Christ? Because what people see is living day after day, year after year. So Jesus does not know them, why does he not know them? Does Jesus know you if you eat something in Jesus’ house? There are many people who eat the emperor’s food, does the emperor know you all? This logic is very simple. So at this time, Jesus is doing the work of casting out demons and healing the sick.
> At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.” He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will drive out demons and heal people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’ In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem! (《Luke》 13:31-33)
The evil spirit behind Herod should be called a fox. This passage of scripture tells such a logic. I have strung this passage of scripture very clearly, right? So the path opened up by Jesus is definitely not the path of a philosopher, but the path of Jesus Christ to heal the sick and cast out demons, because many problems come from the spiritual realm. For example, I just prayed for a child with a fever. The fever must have come from the spiritual realm. How did it come? It is closely related to the evil spirits of this world. So what is the gospel of Jesus Christ? Jesus did not say that I will preach and study the Bible today and tomorrow. These are very important. No. Jesus said that today and tomorrow I will cast out demons and heal the sick, that is, to trample on the devil and the enemy, come one, kill one, and my work will be completed on the third day.
Is it fulfilled? It is fulfilled. Even so, today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, I must go forward, that is, I don’t care if I die, casting out demons is fighting. What happened to Jesus Christ as a result? Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross. He personally went down to Hades to cast out demons there. As a result, he knocked the demons to the ground. That Sun Wukong made a big disturbance in the Dragon Palace, and then our Jesus Christ made a big disturbance in hell, and as a result, he knocked down the devil’s family. He was so powerful! So Jesus Christ casts out demons and heals the sick, so aren’t we doing something wrong if we don’t cast out demons? It must be wrong. So casting out demons is closely related to the kingdom of God, and casting out demons is closely related to the gospel.
So from now on, make up your mind to be a demon-casting Christian. Don’t be afraid. There is nothing to be afraid of. On the matter of casting out demons, many people have fallen and many people have risen. As a result, The gospel is messed up, and they still think it is orthodox. They dig around and can’t see the appearance of Jesus. Then I ask why? People gave me a sentence: How many Jesuses are there? There is only one. How many Pauls are there? Isn’t there just one? Is everyone familiar with this sentence? Too familiar. So Chinese Mingding Destiny has come to this generation to restore the powerful gospel of Jesus Christ, so that everyone can see the glory of God. This is called the gospel.
## 5. This gospel is the gospel of casting out demons and healing the sick
Then is Jesus Christ practicing superstition? It’s not superstition. But today it is regarded as superstition. When you say casting out demons, you are said to be superstitious. Some people come to investigate me. They have their own set of logic and are deceived by ghosts, and they come to investigate me. They thought: Still casting out demons? I want to see if you are really like that, what exactly are you saying? Is there such a thing? When the family members of the brothers and sisters among us hear this, they feel like religious superstition. In fact, the spiritual realm is so real, and all our problems today are closely related to the spiritual realm. Why repent? Because the logic system is wrong. Everything I watched before was a worldly logic system, and I thought it was very scientific. I tell you, it is not scientific at all. Why? Because science cannot solve too many problems. Can science solve bad luck? It would be good if it could be solved. Many problems cannot be solved.
So everyone must have a very clear vision of the spiritual realm, and it will be easy to look at this generation with spiritual eyes and a spiritual logic system. A person who has had a migraine for twenty years was healed after one prayer with me. This is not bragging. So casting out demons and healing the sick is a very broad concept. That is to say, a person’s life change is inseparable from casting out demons and healing the sick. But brothers and sisters must know that only the truth can set us free. If you want to be free, it is not that I cast out the demons and you are free. After the demons are cast out, you must also know God in your understanding. So don’t be surprised, the church is not driving out demons but is being driven out by demons. Can it be good?
Some churches, after one checkup, one cancer; after a while, another checkup, another cancer; after a while, another checkup, and the pastor also has cancer. Strange, right? Some people come to me when they get sick. I said: Isn’t your church doing healing and deliverance? They said: Yes. I said: Then what are you doing here with me? They said: Teacher, you don’t know, they only do healing and deliverance for people outside. After hearing this, I felt very evil. What kind of logic is this? Can pastors not get cancer if they do this? The gospel of Jesus Christ is not about discussing more or less sins, serious or minor sins. Many churches discuss sin all day long, but they don’t discuss casting out demons. Once they cast out demons, they find that their martial arts skills are not good. Then go home and practice slowly if your martial arts skills are not good.
Many people are typing testimonies. They have had headaches for three years and back pain for more than ten years. They have all been healed in the Chinese Mingding church; some have had stomach ulcers for more than 20 years and have been healed in our church; and a mother has had migraines for more than ten years and has been healed; has been dizzy for many years and has been healed in our church; has had dysmenorrhea for three years and has been healed in our church; and has had back pain that has been healed. There are so many testimonies. Glory to Jesus Christ. These are all the roads that Jesus Christ has opened up for us. This is the gospel.
The argument is simple. What did Jesus send the twelve disciples to do? To cast out demons and heal the sick. Then what did he send the seventy-two disciples to do later? Cast out demons and heal the sick. Did Jesus himself cast out demons and heal the sick? Yes. So is the gospel we believe the gospel of casting out demons and healing the sick? Yes. Today we must push our understanding to a new height, and then stand on the new height and trample on the devil and the enemy again. This time it will be amazing!
## 6. The captives are released and the oppressed are set free
A person who had been bound for eighteen years came to the synagogue every Sabbath, and no one cared. They sang hymns so well there, and they were so invested. Everyone was not rushing to heal the person who had been oppressed by demons for eighteen years, but who was robbing the C position, who was the main mic and the secondary mic. Oh, I am so emotional, eighteen years! As a result, Jesus came and drove away the demon and released that person. Then many people said: How can you heal on the Sabbath? Hey, is it not normal to release someone who has been bound for eighteen years on the Sabbath? He met Jesus. If he had met me, I would have to ask him: What’s wrong with your brain? Are you missing a string in your head? Go to neurology and see a doctor, and don’t talk nonsense here.
Some people say: Teacher, this is heresy. I said: Don’t talk nonsense, this is not heresy, this is Duan Yi. Do you know why it is called Duan Yi? My end is a different end from yours. Your end is the Pharisee’s end, and my end is Jesus’ end. Some people think preaching is important, some people think Bible study is important, and some people think worship is important. Is worship really important? What does worship do?
Once I was leading worship, and a limping person walked in from outside. I said: Stop, we won’t sing this song, it’s just like that after singing. I asked that person to put his feet on a chair, and I prayed while moving around, and everyone prayed together. It was fine in a few minutes. Another time, I saw the person sitting below with a pale face and his hands covering his stomach. I said: What’s wrong with you? She stammered there. I said: Be happy, what’s the matter? She said: Dysmenorrhea. I said: Can’t you say dysmenorrhea? Is it embarrassing to say it? I prayed with her, and it didn’t hurt for a while, and then I continued singing.
I don’t know what many churches are doing, and then they say: Pastor Liu, you have gifts, but we don’t have gifts. It’s not about whether you have gifts or not, but about imitating Jesus. Some people say: Teacher, it’s embarrassing to talk about dysmenorrhea during worship. What’s so embarrassing about talking about dysmenorrhea? Some people encounter a demon-possessed person during worship, and instead of casting out the demon, they carry that person out. Why? Don’t affect worship, don’t affect the songs we sing. If the ghost comes to make trouble and affects my singing, can that work? Today, I finally got scheduled to lead worship, carry it out! Can that produce results? Can Jesus still recognize them?
I was so emotional, has Jesus changed in this generation? No. Has Jesus stopped doing what Jesus should do in this generation? Science has developed, does Jesus care about your scientific development? Can’t you still solve many problems? I tell you, the kingdom of God depends on justice, mercy, and faithfulness. Is there any compassion? If there is compassion, follow this path with me today to imitate Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the same God yesterday, today, and forever. The result will come out, the captives will be released, and the oppressed will be set free. This is the Jesus we believe in, this is what our God cares about, and our God cares so much about a bound person being released from the hands of the devil.
Today everyone begins to rise up and become a demon-casting person. You can’t do it if you don’t cast out demons. A person who is mindful of the flesh and belongs to the world cannot cast out demons. It’s good if you are not cast out by demons. Start solving the problems you face today with spiritual methods. Don’t always engage in things that are mindful of the flesh. If you are mindful of the flesh, you will harm your children. Yesterday I had dinner with several brothers and sisters. Some brothers and sisters said that his brother was spoiled by his mother and can’t do anything today and is a little crazy; some brothers and sisters said that his uncle was spoiled by his grandmother, and these are all things that ruin people.
Yesterday I trained a sister who ruined her son. Of course, she can’t ruin her son if he is Jesus, and she can’t ruin her son if he is Joseph. It just so happened that she caught up with him. It’s bad luck. She brought up such a son and such a mother. One is mindful of the flesh and the other is being mindful of the flesh. And she often invites her mother to be mindful of him. Isn’t that troublesome? Brothers and sisters begin to know that letting the captives be released and the oppressed be set free means acting according to the words of Jesus Christ. Start practicing constantly, no longer according to human will, but according to God’s will. Start obeying the Holy Spirit, no longer obeying the flesh or the customs of the world. I get excited when I talk about this, because our church was established from the beginning to let the captives be released and the oppressed be set free. It is really a massive release.
## 7. Casting out demons by the Spirit of God, the kingdom of God comes
If you don’t drive out the Japanese devils, can you occupy that land? If you go, you will become Liu Hulan. You have to rely on the Spirit of God to cast out demons, recover that place, and let it belong to God. That is the coming of the kingdom of God. We do the Lord’s Prayer all day long and say: Lord, may your kingdom come. I ask how the kingdom of God will come? I don’t know. Then what are you praying about all day long? Today I tell you, just rely on the Spirit of God to cast out demons, let the Spirit of God come into your home, see your family like that, and know that it is a demon. You must know that when my mother had Alzheimer’s disease, I didn’t believe it was cerebellar atrophy. I believed it was a demon. I drove the demon out, and my mother lived with dignity in the years after Alzheimer’s disease.
One day I wanted to take my mother out to dinner. When I looked at my mother, her mouth was crooked, her eyes were slanted, and she was drooling. Bad, Lao Ma is here again, I killed Lao Ma. Generally, people would have to be sent to the hospital. Then I took my mother to dinner. After driving for five minutes, Lao Ma came again. I parked the car in the parking lot and drove the ghost out again. Several colleagues who went with me said: Teacher, are we going to continue eating, or what? I said: Let’s go eat. My mother ate a big plate of rice. If my mother didn’t have a son like me, wouldn’t she be suffering? Maybe there would be a lot of hemiplegia, cerebral infarction, and myocardial infarction.
Today, we must obtain all the benefits of God’s kingdom. This is the result. We begin to trample on the devil and the enemy. Through my personal service, I have a summary: Casting out demons will definitely bring prosperity! Click, cast out demons, here comes an order; click, cast out demons, here comes another order, take the order. A few days ago, I met a sister who was the third best in their province. How did it come about? It came from casting out demons. She is really not good at intelligence and wisdom, but she is definitely number one in casting out demons. She is not good at anything, but she is number one in casting out demons. When the demons see it, ah, hurry up and give you the order, Lao Ma has become our express delivery guy. What did Jesus Christ say? If you want to be a demon-casting person, the demons will definitely kill you. What did this demon say? Herod wants to kill Him.
> At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.” (《Luke》 13:31)
Herod is a great general under Lao Ma. The name of this great general is Fox. The fox is quite big in the family of ghosts. Sometimes if you have the spirit of a fox on you, it can get you into the palace. One of my cousins had a lot of these things in his family. Later, when I was casting out demons, the demon spoke to me and said: Do you know your cousin? One of the girls in their family was sent to the palace to be a princess by me. You see, this thing is very powerful in the spirit realm. Herod wanted to kill Jesus because Jesus was always casting out demons, so the demons must deal with Him. Then why doesn’t the church cast out demons anymore? Because casting out demons will kill people. Didn’t I scare everyone? Casting out demons will kill people, but what did Jesus say?
> He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will drive out demons and heal people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’ In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem! (《Luke》 13:32-33)
Today and tomorrow I will cast out demons and heal the sick, and on the third day my work will be completed. How was it accomplished? Jesus cast out demons, and as he cast them out, he was crucified on the cross and became salvation. In fact, what did Jesus Christ do in the days when he was crucified on the cross? I never knew, and no one told us. Let’s guess. Where did Jesus go after he died? He went to the Yama Temple. What did he do there? He went to make a big disturbance in the Yama Temple. Jesus made a big disturbance in the underground palace with his bare hands. As a result, the underworld was turned upside down. From now on, the devil will tremble when he hears the name of Jesus. He will give Jesus whatever he wants. Then Jesus rose from the dead on the third day and proved with great power that He is the Son of God - Jesus Christ.
Today, believing in Jesus must be rooted in the roots. Although knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, we prefer to go to the tiger mountains; knowing that there is a Yama in the Yama Temple, we still prefer to take a two-day tour of the underworld. As for how good Jesus’ martial arts skills are, we will know after such a tour. From now on, our brothers and sisters will do this, why? Is it a mule or a horse? Pull it out and walk it around. I tell you, there will be orders after you walk it around. Although you will lose your life, you must go forward. Today, we dedicate our lives to our God, carrying the destiny that Jesus Christ has given us, becoming disciples of Jesus Christ, and rubbing the devil and the enemy on the ground. It is not just a matter of dying and going to heaven, but of living on earth as in heaven. If we meet Jesus in the future, I tell you, there must be a film in heaven, playing one by one about Jesus making a big disturbance in the underworld and trampling on the devil and the enemy.
Let’s also follow the path of Jesus Christ, make a big disturbance in the underworld, trample on the devil and the enemy, let the captives be released, and the oppressed be set free. I get excited when I think about it. What kind of virtue and ability do I have that I have become such a person today? Where did we get such blessings? Like my grandfather’s generation, they said: The ancestral graves of our Lao Liu family are emitting green smoke. I tell you, today everyone’s ancestral graves are emitting green smoke. Why? We are all mighty warriors who make a big disturbance in the underworld! The glory of God that we have been looking forward to will come to us again. Today we begin to run forward, running to every brother and sister who can press Lao Ma to the ground and turn the underworld upside down!
Let’s sing a hymn to receive today’s offering. If you don’t understand the meaning of offering, please don’t offer. Every time you face the forces of darkness, you must tell them that this world has nothing in me. What I have in me is the word of God, and what I have in me is to obey the Spirit of God. No longer afraid, no longer discouraged, accusation is good, not afraid of anything. Today we dedicate our lives to God, even if we die, we must die on this destiny! Raise your hands and pray with me: Lord Jesus, I am here, please use me and raise me up. I want to be your mighty warrior; Lord, I want to imitate you. Today I want to trample on the devil and the enemy, so that many captives will be released and the oppressed will be set free; God, raise me up, may your glory be revealed, I am the vessel for revealing your glory. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
Our Father in heaven, may your name be honored as holy. May your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for the kingdom, power, and glory are all yours, forever. Amen!
May God bless everyone!
