I. Introduction

Good day to everyone! Today, I will be speaking on a fresh topic, one that holds significance as it represents the culmination of my recent studies: Can Eating Something Grant God-like Wisdom? I am frequently asked: Teacher, how are you so intelligent? Did you consume brain-enhancing supplements as a child, like Cerebrolysin? Or perhaps silver nitrate? That is a heavy metal; consuming it would make one dull. Others inquire: Have you always been this intelligent since birth? I detect a subtle implication in this question, suggesting that I was born this way, unlike them.

Today, let us visit the maternity ward and observe the chubby infants. Newborns, both male and female, are all alike. The question arises: Does a newborn recognize a single character? If you ask them how to write the character for person, they would not know. They understand nothing except for crying. Then, you say, Drink milk. Later, they learn the character for milk. I was born just like everyone else, albeit with a slightly darker complexion, earning me the nickname Black Egg. However, as I grew older, my skin lightened.

I have been the subject of many jokes. When I was in first grade, during my first exam, I could not recall how to write the character for road. I retrieved a book from my bag to copy it. The teacher said, You cannot copy! I replied, I do not know how to write it. The teacher said, If you do not know, leave it blank! I said, No, I want to copy it. The teacher said, This is an exam. I was dumbfounded, not knowing what an exam was; I had never learned it. From then on, I learned what an exam was. Later, during exams, I would attempt to invent a character, but every character I invented was marked with a red X. Why? Because my invented characters were all my spelling errors. I asked the teacher, Why can't I invent a character? The teacher was perplexed. From a young age, I learned that one cannot invent.

In reality, everything we acquire after birth is learned through study. Later, I discovered that nothing is truly created by you; you only create spelling errors. Therefore, whether it is mathematics, language, or English, everything is learned from others. I found it quite agreeable, realizing that everything is learned. Consequently, I became a top student. Unlike some of you, upon realizing that I could not invent characters, I ceased attempting to do so. If copying is not permitted during exams, then I would abide by the examination rules. Later, I discovered that living is all about learning. Can you name something that is not learned? Everything must be learned. As a result, I developed a love for learning from a young age.

People always desire to learn everything instantly. However, there is no such thing. One progresses from first grade to second grade, and then to third grade. Is there anyone who leaps directly to the fifth grade? That would be a prodigy. However, I have observed that prodigies often experience developmental issues and mental imbalances. Imagine, a ten-year-old child mingling with eighteen or nineteen-year-old university students, sometimes not even knowing how to properly clean themselves after defecating before attending university. What are you going to do? In the past, I actually hired an employee who was from a gifted youth program. But when they grew up, they turned out just like that, not exceptionally remarkable, merely having grasped certain concepts earlier in life.

People always aspire to become intelligent instantly; always aspire to become like God instantly; always aspire to become wealthy instantly. However, upon failing instantly, they do not attempt a second time. If it fails instantly, it fails for a lifetime. Why am I speaking so enthusiastically today? Because I have discovered that to study how people become intelligent, one must first study how people become dull. How do people become dull? By always desiring to achieve things instantly. Like in the stories of the Journey to the West. They blow a breath and get what they want, how wonderful. I wished the same when I was child. Later I found that people become dull by always desiring something instantly, and then give up learning it. How can they not become dull? For me, if I cannot learn something instantly, I try twice; if I cannot learn it twice, I try three times.

There was a math problem from the second grade of junior high that I worked on for two months, just for fun. I am telling you, there is no such thing as instantaneousness. Later, I developed a certain characteristic: a slight tenacity. As I grew older, I would recall my childhood and how I became the person I am today. It was because the idea of instantaneousness did not exist in my mind. During my second year of junior high, my family did not have books. In those days, there was a thick series of self-study books that everyone would line up to buy at the bookstore, but no one in my family went to line up and buy them because we did not have the money; the books were quite expensive. So I borrowed books, but those children were quite spiteful and would not lend them to me for too long, even though they did not read them themselves. They would lend them to me for only two weeks. What could I do in those two weeks? I would copy them, eventually copying two-thirds of the books.

Later, after I started working, I began to think that this child was quite interesting. Now, even if you are asked to put hundreds of pages of books on a photocopier and copy them page by page, you may not have the patience. People today scroll through short videos on TikTok, unable to endure even thirty seconds. Now it is twenty seconds, and if twenty seconds is too long, it becomes ten seconds. People have so little patience, always desiring something instantly, and that is how they become dull. Can you learn from short videos? When I was in the second grade of junior high, I finished learning the curriculum for the third grade of junior high. I certainly read it page by page and would never flip through it from the first page to the last without actually looking at it. I truly finished reading it.

I harbored no anxiety within me. As you observe me building our church, have you ever witnessed me in a state of anxiety? I do things gradually, for what is the rush? Haste leads to errors, and desiring something instantly results in the absence of subsequent attempts. Do you recall instances when I served people? If pressing once did not suffice, I would press ten times; if ten times did not suffice, I would press a hundred times; and if a hundred times did not suffice, I would press ten thousand times. This is my character, and if you possess this character, you will undoubtedly become intelligent.

Instant success is a lie. People make mistakes when they are anxious and overwhelmed by tasks. They worry about when they can finish the work or the thick book. The thought of not being able to finish leads them to abandon it. Truly understanding something instantly is a lie from the devil. The difference between us is that I did not have the concept of instant success when I was young, so I became intelligent. If you have this concept of instant success, you will instantly become dull. Therefore, if we want to become intelligent today, we must first deal with this root cause.

Where does the concept of instant success in the Bible come from? It originates from Eve. Ah, eating this fruit will instantly make me like God, but instead of becoming like God, she became like the devil. Can eating a fruit make one intelligent? I do not believe it. I never believe in things that promise instant results. Within me, I only have the desire to study diligently, improve every day, and learn a little each day. Therefore, instant success is a lie from the devil. If people desire instant success from the beginning, they will surely achieve nothing and be ruined for life!

I can cite numerous examples of even the most intelligent people in the world desiring instant success. Are you familiar with the story of Qin Shi Huang? Qin Shi Huang ordered Xu Fu to find a elixir of immortality. Xu Fu went to the Penglai Islands, but in his heart, he knew that there was no such thing as an elixir that would grant immortality upon consumption. In the end, he did not find it. Qin Shi Huang then made an eastern tour to what is now the Shandong Peninsula, presumably in search of Xu Fu. Xu Fu was searching for the elixir of immortality, and Qin Shi Huang was searching for Xu Fu, which is roughly the logic. Qin Shi Huang died at the age of fifty.

Think about it, if Qin Shi Huang had not sought the elixir of immortality and had instead lived his life steadily, he could have lived to be seventy or eighty years old. Qin Shi Huang was an exceptionally intelligent man. In that era, his territory was vast, and without trains or airplanes, he subdued all seven warring states and unified the Central Plains. There were few in the world who accomplished such a feat. However, he died at the age of fifty, forever frozen at that age, achieving a form of immortality. You must understand these things. If he had not sought the elixir, would he have lived longer? Certainly.

There is another interesting individual named Lü Buwei. He was originally a businessman who made money. However, he later felt that this was insufficient and invented the term ten thousand profits from one investment. The story of ten thousand profits from one investment is found in the Lüshi Chunqiu. Lü Buwei laid the foundation for today's merchants. What is meant by ten thousand profits from one investment? He controlled the land policy, making him a compradore. Once he controlled the land policy, he was guaranteed to become wealthy and achieve ten thousand profits from one investment. As a result, he invented a set of political and business principles, making him the progenitor of today's political economics. However, Lü Buwei died because of his own pursuit of ten thousand profits from one investment. He employed three thousand retainers who were handsomely paid. He would ask each person to write a little bit, and so they write the book called Lüshi Chunqiu.. I advice you to find Lüshi Chunqiu to enrich you knowledge.

That's why our great leader Chairman Mao wanted to get rid of this thing, but he didn't. People just want quick results, and the worst thing is wanting to eat something that will make them like God instantly. We have been studying for a long time the term discernment of good and evil. Actually, the term discernment of good and evil is an ancient topic for Chinese Mingding Destiny, and we are satisfied with our discovery of discernment between good and evil, but is your knowledge enough? Not enough But today we took one step further! So why this topic? Eat something, and will become smart? Eat something, and will be as wisdom as God? This thing is really the source of why people are dull! As a result, people eat things, and then they crash, and everyone who walks this path will have a miserable ending! Even in this modern time, the head of HNA took this road, and the ending is so bad!

All things progress through gradual enlightenment, and I am in no hurry. If I have a new discovery today, I will say, God, you are so good, you have given me a new discovery. Excitement fills me, as if I have dined on a Manchu Han Imperial Feast. But some people do not think this way. They say, God, you are so bad, why did you wait so long to reveal this to me? It would have been better if you had told me all of this at once. Is it better to tell you everything at once, or to tell you little by little? Of course, it is better to tell you little by little. You see, people have different opinions, because I do not have the concept of instant success within me. I would like to have a few more tries, for more tries are good. I progress step by step in knowing God, step by step in knowing the truth, step by step in moving forward. As a result, I bring this attitude to everything I do. Why rush? What is the point of rushing when you gain nothing?

II. Scripture

Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’” “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. (Genesis 3:1-7)

III. Prayer

God, grant us wisdom and intelligence today, so that we may know your will. Let us understand how Adam and Eve were deceived by the devil in the past. Let us gain a deep understanding of their thoughts before they ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. May we completely remove these thoughts, so that we may become a people pleasing to you in your sight. Let us continuously draw upon your grace and mercy in your presence, and continuously pursue a greater knowledge of you on this spiritual path. God, deliver us from this ignorant folly; deliver us from this foolish delusion. God, grant us wisdom and intelligence today, so that we may know your will. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

IV. Scriptural Background

It is quite interesting that we Chinese enjoy eating things. Ah, eating this is good; it nourishes the brain. Have any of you who took the university entrance exam tried brain-enhancing supplements? Did they make you smarter? No. People just feel that eating something will bring about some magical changes through their mouths. Look at the Journey to the West with the eating of peaches and ginseng fruits. In the Chinese way of thinking, not only Qin Shi Huang and Journey to the West, but all the dynasties of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing believed that mouths were very powerful and invented many things related to eating. To cure diseases, what do you eat? Medicine. It all goes into the stomach and is related to eating. Demons also eat, wanting to eat Tang Sanzang, but they are destroyed by Sun Wukong.

Our understanding of this matter today is too mystical. The Bible long ago revealed the word ‘eat’. Who wrote this? Genesis chapter 3 was what God told Moses when he met Him face to face. Actually, in Abraham’s year, Abraham didn’t know about this, beforeAbraham, they didn't know about it either. You see, Moses wrote Genesis. That was more than 400 years after Abraham. Now, if we are writing about people who live 400 years ago, how would you understand their stories? It is impossible. Moses wrote about Adam and Eve, almost more than 2000 years ago. Of course, it is not scientific, it is theological.

Moses received this from God, and he spoke of God creating man and letting them manage the garden and work hard and learn and grow little by little. Watching the garden to find that it's not easy, they invented a wheel, so until today there is the concept of inventing the wheel behind closed door. The wheel is everywhere now . Adam and Eve didn't know there was a wheel at that time. They knew it later. It was too tired to walk, so they made the wheel, pave the road, to be rich, build roads first, that is this logic. It is hard to solve the problem, but that is God's will. Today you solve the problem, but always pursue the immediate, eat something and then crash!

As a result, God created an Eve. What was Eve thinking before eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? You see, I have studied it deeply. Today, I will talk about my speculation. Sometimes I say that the smoky words that people say are like women, which is not pleasant to hear. In fact, this woman-like thing started with Eve, that is, this woman ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. So how do these woman start to eat? What were woman’s thinking before eating? Her thinking: God is so bad; they won’t let me eat; so if I eat like you, is that ok? Are you afraid of my competition? Will you elect me and replace you? you won’t let me eat. I will.
And you are tough. You are all here with the person being shepherd to: Why did my shepherd say that? What’s the matter? are you afraid? I won’t let me do that. I'll do it! Just arguing.

Oh, God is so bad, so stingy, and he asks me to work, which is so tiring. And I have to learn and grow every day, which is so troublesome. Is it troublesome? I often think about this. It means I immediately like God, which is so tempting, just like your eating Brain-enhancing supplments at home and getting into college, so working and learning are too much trouble. Some mothers are so interesting, they visit to Wenshu Bodhisattva, and their children can get into college. Do you think there is any connection between these two? Do a little something there, chanting something repeatedly, and then can children get into college? There is this in the minds of us Chinese, evil! When we do something, we don’t want to be down-to-earth, we just want to chanting something and it will be done.

Before Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, their thoughts were not really that God was so bad. They sometimes felt that God was so bad and sometimes that God was also a good God. They were confused! The people I serve are often in a state of confusion. Sometimes they feel that the teacher is very good, and sometimes that the teacher is very bad. I wondered: Did I dig the hole for them?

So people were confused and the devil saw it and thought, Opportunities are here! and deceived you.
Before we eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, we are thinking about this. It is just like this, or why would people eat that stuff when they have nothing to do? Before doing business, people only think about making money and don’t think about losing money. You transfer the money to P2P, and transfer to P3P, P4P? Then you will be P and you will be in trouble! People are confused. Why are they confused? Because they don’t want to work. They don’t want to do the work properly, and they don’t want to grow little by little in a down-to-earth way.
They just want to eat it, which is so good. You are immortal now. Has anything happened? Put something to eat into the squat toilet, is it immortal? It will be messed up!

Why did men eat it too? Listening to women can make a fortune. After seeing eating women , women not die.. I thought: God is lying. It is also this set of logic before you start eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. You thought: Will you not die? He ate it and did not die! This is what I hear most often: I did something wrong, and he did something wrong, which is good! I want to eat something and then be like God. After women eat it, they forget what god look like and only see the fruit..

Why did Moses teach the Israelites Genesis later? Moses stayed in the wilderness for so many years and taught them Genesis every day. As a result, the Israelites studied Genesis better than we did. The Israelites thought: God is so bad, he brought us to the wilderness to kill us. Don’t we have a cemetery in Egypt? Did you see it? That is to say, the Israelites did not understand it until they died after reading Genesis. I hope you can understand the scripture Genesis. If you don't understand it until you die, will that be completely destroyed?

Today, let our brothers and sisters thoroughly understand this scripture. What did I study today? Before people eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they actually eat it with beautiful hope. You transfer the money to P2P. you transfer it with beautiful hopes. Ah, Ma Yun’s enterprise is so good. How can he cheat money? People turn into ghosts with beautiful hopes. At first, they look like people and It’s better to be not eat . But if you eat like a ghosts. You look like people; and there is still a chance to be like God; what should I do if I look like a ghosts? It's troublesome!

V. The Root of Human Dullness

How do people become dull? This is a new understanding of the discernment of good and evil. What was Eve thinking before people ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? I have used a lot of space, that is the root of why people become dull! How do people become dull? I want to be like God, I want to have wisdom, I want to be smart, I want to be quick, and I want to eat something. No matter what you eat, it will definitely become stool, which is what I mean by saying the brain is full of shit. Later people criticized me, so I said it became tofu brains but in fact it is stool. After eating it, it becomes stool, which is our unshakeable truth. You definitely won't object to it, right? But people hope that they will eat something and become rich instantly, and have hope instantly.

That day in the elevator, they shared something with me. As soon as I heard it, I knew it was a scammer. He wanted result quickly. All those who pursue quick results are scammers. This matter is very interesting. In fact, the devil is waiting for this opportunity. Why does the devil want to screw you? Why do people become dull? It's the devil. The devil makes people dull. The devil keeps strengthening the chaotic logic in your brain, and then the devil sees an opportunity to ruin you; if the devil doesn't come to ruin you, God says, “Devil, go and ruin him!”
That must be true” You might say, God is mean. Still, God is not mean, it's just that logic.

You think this person is so bad. They build a crappy company, and they package it left and right, wrapping it up with a pile of shit, and then list it. What do they do after listing it? Scam money! The shareholders were all scammed! There was a rich man who bought the stock where the stock price became a pennystock. A stock that cost hundreds of dollars became a few cents. Tens of billions of dollars became thousands of dollars. You say that is so evil!

Amongst us, there was a member who constantly dreamt of building a unicorn company, busying himself with the intention of quickly packaging it for an IPO. Let me be frank: what, are you trying to swindle money? Will the government let you get away with that? The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission are working hard to deal with these fraudsters, only to find that the CSRC, the CBIRC are in collusion with these individuals to deceive shareholders. Truly tragic! Chairman Mao was insightful; he long understood this nexus between politics and business. This thing is lethal, deceptive; it is the root cause of people becoming foolish.

We Chinese are somewhat blessed that Deng Xiaoping did not adopt shock therapy. Russia took the path of shock therapy, immediately changing its entire system, thinking that if people become wealthy, they will think of the nation. How could that be? Once the money is theirs, it is truly theirs. This capitalist, whether in America, Russia, or anywhere else, is the same. They all harbored beautiful hopes, wanting to solve the nation's problems at once. Russia, with its extremely abundant resources, immediately went into shock; wanting to solve personal problems at once, people immediately became foolish. What is this logic? It is the logic of wanting to change things instantaneously.

Deng Xiaoping said it well: crossing the river by feeling for stones, taking one step at a time. Brothers and sisters, let us start pondering the root cause of people becoming foolish. Some people ask me: Teacher, were you like this when you were young? I say: I was like this when I was young. Why? Because when I was young, I took one exam at a time, step by step. If I were to take the traffic regulations test now, I would practice more than you. If I were to take the traffic regulations test, the proctor would tell me: Alright, hand in your paper. I would say: I haven't finished yet! He would say: Ninety-one points is the same as one hundred points; do you still want to get a perfect score? What does that mean? When I answered up to ninety-one points, there were no mistakes; everything was correct. He forced me to hand in my paper. I said: Can this be considered passing? He said: Yes, it's passing. So, I handed in my paper early.

What does this mean? I have one characteristic: I don't want to become foolish, so I am grounded and practical. Yesterday, I showed them what I had done. If it is about renovation, I would draw the plans two months in advance. As I draw, I get some ideas; as I draw, I start making changes, and a better version emerges. Even doing it this way, sometimes there are still unsatisfactory aspects. What can you come up with by slapping your head? You'll definitely come up with rubbish. If you want to do things instantaneously, how can you not become foolish? You will definitely become foolish! We always hope: God, give me wisdom, intelligence. Even if you give it to them, they can't receive it. Why? They don't have that character. What they need is that kind of character!

Wanting to do things instantaneously, what happens? Working from thirty to forty years old, you return to the starting point; working from forty to fifty years old, you return to the starting point; working from fifty to sixty years old, you are gone, transformed into a negative number. P2P, later P3P, P4P; isn't that turning into fart? So, it's all over instantaneously! There was a brother in his forties, and I told him to be grounded and practical, but he wasn't grounded and practical. He always thought about doing things instantaneously. If the devil doesn't mess with you, who will? I have to tell your fortune; you will be miserable in the future! Why? Because you are foolish. If the devil sees you and doesn't mess with you a little, that is very unethical, just like it is unethical for a businessman not to make money. So, have I found the root cause of people becoming foolish? Absolutely found it. You were like this when you were in school!

You will find that I particularly like to make plans. What do I do? I research. How do I do it? I research. I don't have ideas that come from slapping my head. You will find that as long as something passes through my hands, I definitely put in a lot of effort. That's good! Unlike some people, boom, they nail the board on, then pry it off. When they pry it off, they have to throw it away as garbage; nail it on again, and it's nailed in the wrong place, so they have to pry it off again. What are you doing, creating garbage? Because there is garbage in their heads, they cannot but create garbage. The things I do are done right and successfully the first time. That's great! You do it, and it doesn't work; you do it, and it doesn't work. What are you doing then? You can't do it at thirty, you can't do it at forty, you can't do it at fifty. If your last name is Li, don't call yourself Li Zicheng; call yourself Li Bucheng (Li Unsuccessful).

VI. The Path to Becoming Intelligent and Wise

Never rely on eating something; eating something is not the key to solving problems; eating something can only turn into waste. God created all things and created man on earth to manage a Garden of Eden. Do you know why He first has you manage the Garden of Eden? Originally, He wanted you to manage the whole earth, but God first drew a circle, first giving you a small environment. Like that old man, he first drew a circle, then first managed this circle well. After managing this circle well, then he applied this experience to the whole country, the reform and opening up. Becoming intelligent and wise starts from the small.

How big is that garden? Some people's gardens are probably like a detached villa. If you can't manage a detached villa, can you manage a residential area? If you can't manage a residential area, can you manage a district in a city? If you can't manage a district in a city, can you manage a city? If you can't manage a city, can you manage a province? If you can't manage a province, can you manage a country? You have to know that being grounded and practical starts from the Garden of Eden. Were you able to manage things in the Garden of Eden? Actually, you didn't manage it; you were managed by the snake. Many people, I let you manage a ministry, but you are managed by the ministry; I let you manage pastoral care, but you are managed by the pastoral care; I let you manage growth, but you are managed by the growth. Isn't this all reversed? Can you become intelligent?

Actually, our God is particularly interesting. God drew a special zone—the Garden of Eden—and put you inside to manage it, but you didn't manage it well. Why? Because people have that element of becoming foolish, that reason for becoming foolish. Actually, God said: Manage in the garden, discover problems, and solve problems. Think about those animals constantly defecating; what do you do? Like the current cities, if a herd of cattle or horses walks by, defecating all over the streets, and then the whole city is filled with a foul smell, isn't that awful?

Some time ago, I drove to a service area, and alas, a stench hit me as soon as I entered the service area. I said that the people in this place are too dirty. What does that mean? It wasn't managed well. Are there problems? There are many problems. Why don't they manage it? Because they are foolish. People in the service area just relieve themselves there, and then make it stink, so disgusting! Therefore, when we go to a place, we see: the people in this place don't know how to manage; that place is good, the people in that place know how to manage. So, discovering problems and solving problems, discovering problems requires vision, and solving problems definitely requires thinking, learning, and exploration. Then you are very happy every time you solve a problem, just like me. As I serve as a pastor, I become increasingly excited, with new discoveries every day.

So, pondering over this matter is very important. What have you pondered over? Actually, you also have many advantages. You have done everything you have pondered over carefully in your mind correctly. You corrected a wrong version, and finally corrected it. If you don't ponder, and want to do things instantaneously, you will definitely be foolish. If you want something to be good instantaneously, that is definitely being both lazy and foolish. Why do people become foolish? Because they are lazy. Why are they lazy? Because they are foolish. Writing a program and falling into a dead loop, then burning a lot of brain cells, why? He saw that there was so much work and thought: How can I do this? I can't do it! Then things become more and more chaotic, and problems pile up on problems, becoming a dirty and smelly service area.

Then they still say there: Alas, I wish I had God's wisdom at once. As a result, they eat something again, and it turns into waste, definitely smelly and foul. It's true what you said. After resting, they rest for a week, and after a week, there are more problems, and more problems make them more uncomfortable. Then they say: Teacher, what you say is not right, why am I not like God? You rested for a week, and you didn't excrete less in this week, nor did you eat less. A dirty and smelly service area is probably created by these people.

So, where is the problem? The problem is that people always want to do things instantaneously. The Book of Genesis is written so well: What did God do on the first day? What did God do on the second day? What did God do on the third day? Is there anything instantaneous? If it were someone like you, you would definitely run to God and say: God, this is not good. It would be so much better if You breathed a breath, and poof, it all becomes done! Why is it so troublesome? Still first day, second day, still seeing that it is good? It would be so much better instantaneously. But God says it's not good; anything instantaneous is not an operation of faith!

So today, I have to tell you that faith is the foundation. Why? In my vision, this house will be renovated like this; this software will be written like this; this church will be built like this; in my faith, the person I am serving will become like this. Are there any among us whom I have served for many years who are still the same? But in my faith, they have already become like God. Because it doesn't work instantaneously, it's gone in two tries. So, before doing things, I have a judgment about this matter; my future is like this. Today, brothers and sisters, in your faith, can you draw a picture for yourself, my future is like this, and then I build up step by step!

I once told a story during a Bible study. There was a black man, and his father asked him to build a wall five meters wide and three meters high. How many bricks would that take? This teenager would lay bricks after school. Later, he discovered a pattern: whenever he looked at that wall, if he thought: Alas, such a big hole, when will I ever finish it? It's over; if he thought: See a brick, lay a brick, see another brick, lay another brick, in his faith, he saw that wall being erected! A year later, he finished building this wall.

In faith, see that you have become an intelligent person; in faith, you have seen that you have become a wise person; in faith, you have seen yourself beginning to be like God, no longer like the devil; in faith, you have begun to become a wealthy person; in faith, you are not swindling shareholders at once, but enriching shareholders. It's not building a rubbish company to swindle shareholders. You can't swindle anymore; it's not easy in this day and age.

So, step by step moving forward in faith, this is what God wants us to do. God wants us to see in faith that the Garden of Eden has become a beautiful garden. Because Adam and Eve are managing it, the feces they produce are being managed, and a waste incineration plant has been established, establishing an ecological system in the Garden of Eden, being managed in an orderly manner. God is with them, giving them wisdom and intelligence, allowing them to do things in an orderly manner. Then God said: Good, let's abolish this special zone of the Garden of Eden, and the whole world will be yours, be fruitful and multiply, fill the whole earth!

VII. If the Foundations Are Destroyed, What Can the Righteous Do?

People become foolish because they have no faith, no hope for the future. If there is no faith, where does hope come from? If people's faith is broken, there must be an extremely chaotic state inside. You say: Teacher, how can you live so happily? I have faith! I am a problem solver, not a problem creator. Look at that broken roughcast house, when it comes into my hands, it becomes beautiful. Everything that comes into my hands will definitely get better and better!

What is the foundation? Faith! If you are a person without faith in this world, you must be a useless person! Because you don't know that the future is created through faith; if people have no faith, they will definitely be anxious; if people have no faith, they will definitely complain; if people have no faith, they will definitely eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Because they have no hope, no future, they hope that eating something will immediately become like God, and as a result, after eating it, they become a pile of waste. So brothers and sisters must know that a person without faith, without hope, hoping to do things instantaneously, this is the root!

Look at how well my paper is today. People's inner confusion all starts from unbelief. The devil has no way to deal with a person of faith, but the devil will definitely end the battle with an immediate strike against a person without faith. For example, I encourage everyone to write plans, did you write them? Did you draw the pictures? Some people say: Alas, drawing that thing is so troublesome, others have already drawn it, so I don't need to draw it. What does it have to do with you that others have drawn it? Aren't you still in that lousy state? Don't end up still being in that lousy state after I have trained you, just relying on others instantaneously. Isn't that troublesome? No faith. Look at the picture you drew, alas, the door looks like a dog hole, is that a door for dogs to enter, or for people to enter?

Today, the things inside us are too corrupt, only wanting to be Eve instantaneously. You are even lower than Eve; you have become the lowest depression in this world, becoming low instantaneously! I tell you, people's hardware is the same. Have you ever been to a bathhouse? Look at the bathhouses in Northeast China, standing there, everyone is the same. If they aren't the same, then you have gone to the wrong place. When I was in college, the bathhouse was like dumplings being boiled in a pot, so annoying! The hardware is the same, but what is in your head? That is the key! Someone typed, saying that all people are the same, no matter how rich they are. That's right, who knows if you have money when you go to the bathhouse.

What I mean is to reshape the inside, to restore your inner faith in God, no longer doubting, God is a good God, and the plan that God has arranged for you is the best! Make things right, plan and think well. Even with a plan, you may not necessarily do it well, but without a plan, everything will definitely be ruined. I have a tablet computer, and I have drawn so many pictures in it, I draw pictures and ponder over everything. I have also made many tools, including software. Don't look at my age, I write very good software.

These are all things that, before I do them, my faith tells me that I can walk over! If we are different, then only one thing is different, and that is probably faith. I walk forward little by little, and then what do I do? How do I do it? I plan everything well. While others are watching TV, I am still copying books. If you are a person of faith, you will become people that the world is not worthy of. This world is not worthy of you! Why? Because this world all lives in a worldly logical system. Is that okay? Don't worry!

VIII. Reject Lies, Live by the Word of God

This path to being like God is definitely not that you will be like God if you eat something. It is that we have faith inside, draw on God's promises, draw on God's grace, and then become like God step by step. If you want to be like God instantaneously, especially when you want to eat something, when you want to eat an elixir, then it's bad, you will definitely be like the devil! When I was climbing the spiritual peak, recognizing spiritual truths little by little, the people who walked with me all know that I wrote the 101 course for three months. I walked back and forth there every day, frowning, they thought I was very upset, I was just thinking hard!

Do I hope to kneel down and pray on the first day, and God will reveal things to me? I hope so. But if God doesn't reveal it to me, it doesn't matter, I will seek until the second day. Later, our 101 course came out after three months. Later, it was easier when I did the second edition, because the framework was already there. It was the same when I wrote the 201 course. If you want to be happy immediately after eating something, then take drugs, that thing will make you high immediately, but it can't shape a person's character, can't shape a person's height.

God deliberately designed it so that in the last days, people will ascend the mountain of the Lord and enter the house of the God of Jacob. This peak is climbed like this. Is it difficult? It's difficult. Is it hard? It's hard. But is it exciting? It's definitely exciting! So, there begins to be this kind of character, trusting in the Spirit of God, constantly climbing forward, God's will is so. Why? Because God's word says so.

Sometimes the people I pastor pull me left and right, and I can refute them to the point where they have nothing to say. I say: Which sentence is God's word? It seems like none of the sentences are, they are all made up by you. Can you not be corrupted? Saying a lot of human words, isn't that very… [a derogatory term]? Petrified! If people call themselves Petrified, then you call yourself Li-fied, Liu-fied, Wang-fied. Isn't that completely destroyed if it's all human meaning? Living by the word of God, if you are a Buddhist, then you should live well by the Buddhist scriptures; if you are a Muslim, then you should live well by the Quran, and if you and I are Christians, then we should live well by the Bible, the word of God!

IX. Conclusion

The root of distinguishing good and evil lies in wanting to be like God instantaneously, not wanting to walk this path of climbing the peak. Has there been progress? There has been progress, but you can't stand in that place for too long. It's too troublesome to stand in that place for too long, so start to continue to stand up these sore legs and raise up the drooping hands again. Let us start to constantly climb forward. If we climb up, it is not our credit, it is a portrayal of our inner faith in God, because God's will is to help you! The content we talked about today is very good, and I am very excited. Yesterday I ministered until four in the morning, busy all day, and as a result, I still had to write the manuscript when I got up in the morning, and it turned out like this beyond my imagination. Let us start running forward with faith today, Amen!

We will sing a hymn to prepare to receive today's offering. If you do not understand the meaning of offering, please do not give an offering. The devil is furious, because we have all become people with the image of God, and everyone has destroyed doing things instantaneously, doing things instantaneously is no longer within us, and we have begun to be grounded and practical. We begin to look to God's grace and mercy, so that in this age, God's glory will fill the whole earth! I have a great hope in my heart, because throughout the ages, since Paul to today, no one like our Chinese Mingding Destiny has preached God's word so clearly.

Whether white, black, or yellow, we all owe them a gospel. Today, let us Chinese take on the mission that Paul took on, become vessels that manifest God's glory in this generation, preach the gospel clearly, so that everyone can receive the benefits of the gospel! This is my hope, and this is also the hope of brothers and sisters. Today, brothers and sisters no longer think that giving an offering is amazing, it is grace, offering is our duty. From now on, we will no longer speak of reason, we will speak of God's word. From now on, we will no longer hope to solve all problems instantaneously, we will solve them one by one in a down-to-earth manner, and people will become more and more prosperous and healthier!

Raise your hands, I will say one sentence and everyone will say one sentence with me: In the name of Jesus Christ, I will offer myself as a living sacrifice! God, I will be a person of faith, I will no longer pursue doing things instantaneously, I will be grounded and practical, taking one step at a time moving forward! God, You come to help me, You will be my strength, You will be my salvation, You will support me in constantly knowing the word of God, knowing the truth of God, until I see Your face. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, 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, the power, and the glory are Yours, forever and ever. Amen!

May God bless everyone!
