【Sermon】- 【Building a Glorious Church Series】05: Hold Firm to the Boastful Hope and Courage to the End!

2024-09-08 2,576 Building a Glorious Church Series

I. Introduction

Good morning. Today, we continue with the fifth part of our series, Building God's Glorious Church. The most crucial element in building God's glorious church is character, particularly the character of perseverance. Thus, today's theme is Holding Firm to Our Boasting and Bold Hope to the Very End. I believe perseverance is a character trait. You'll find that many lack it; they do a little, and soon switch tracks.

For example, if they are not good at table tennis, they switch to badminton. If badminton doesn't work, they try tennis. Why not table tennis? Because it's too fast. Badminton is slower, but the distance is too short, so they go to tennis. In the end, they become a terrible table tennis player, a terrible badminton player, and an even worse tennis player, because they keep switching and never persist.

Later, I observed that at McDonald's, several queues form at each counter. When someone orders fifty burgers, some feel the line is moving too slowly and switch to another. They see the original line speeding up, but then the next person orders many burgers, fries, and drinks, slowing it down. The impatient ones switch again. Such people, lacking perseverance, never reach their goals. Real success requires holding firm to our boasting and bold hope to the very end, never giving up easily. This is the core quality needed to build God's glorious church.

This impatient person, constantly switching lines, ends up not getting any fries or burgers and is utterly exhausted. A life without perseverance is tragic. I often see such individuals. I have the character to see things through. If I decide to do something, I will accomplish it. I will not quit until it is done.

Actually, the most important thing is not ability. Life is not a 100-meter sprint; it's a marathon. The most important thing is not ability, but the character of perseverance. Some persist for a short while and then start scrolling through Douyin for two hours, returning to persist for only five minutes. They might be persistent while scrolling through Douyin, but they accomplish nothing.

I taught a sister programming. It's truly a blessing to be taught by me, because I teach very well. This sister said, I want to work on artificial intelligence. I thought, If you can't even handle programming, you want to work on AI? What kind of thinking is that? So, I poured cold water on her, saying, Forget it! Does AI need you? She replied, I can teach AI. In reality, AI doesn't need teaching, and self-driving cars don't need learning; they just drive themselves with a push of a button. Later, she switched to many other projects, unable to focus on one thing and accomplish it.

If you climb the mountain of Jehovah, take a few steps and come down, then take a few more steps and come down again, it will be too hard. What isn't hard then? Going up and down like that is bound to be difficult. It even looks unsettling. In my service, I've seen too many such cases. People often give up just before reaching their goal. So, you know what? I really hope that all brothers and sisters can hold firm to their boasting and bold hope to the very end.

Persevering to the end really requires boldness, because there are obstacles. If you lack boldness, you cannot persist. Does giving up solve the problem? No, it creates more problems. Giving up means being trampled by the devil. It pains me to see this helplessness. I can help you with anything, except making this choice for you.

Today, I hope that all brothers and sisters can become people who persevere to the end, never giving up on anything. Never give up on believing in the Lord, never give up on climbing the mountain of Jehovah, and never give up on building God’s glorious temple. It is not when you reach the summit that you experience God, but from the very beginning of the climb. There are many among us who have experienced God.

I am deeply influenced by my university class teacher. She was an ordinary-seeming teacher. Later, she invited us to her home. There, we met her husband, a man of great character. One glance at his face and expression revealed his extraordinary nature. He was a nuclear physicist who shared his experiences with us. He had participated in the development of the atomic bomb, working in a research institute in a remote mountain forest, located inside a cave.

During a purge of traitors, he was wrongly accused and arrested, a common occurrence in those chaotic times. He was held in a windowless room with constant light. Food was delivered through a small hole in the door, with no fixed schedule. He marked the passing meals by drawing leaves on the wall with his finger.

After more than three years, he was finally released. During that time, he had not spoken to anyone, nor had anyone spoken to him. He waited silently, not knowing when he would be freed. When he was released, he discovered that many of those imprisoned with him had gone mad or died. He was one of the few survivors, perhaps a one-third chance. Hearing his story, I was struck by the strength of his character. I admire such people, those with great inner strength. So, I tell you, perseverance will lead to victory.

Those who emerged from the concentration camps of World War II were remarkable individuals. Those who persevere in the countryside are also remarkable. It is not about knowledge, but the strength of their perseverance. Remember, character determines a person's future. If you are training your children, university is not important, middle school is not important, elementary school is not important; character is the most important thing. If a person lacks character, nothing else matters. Faced with a situation like my teacher's husband, they would surely be defeated.

Building God's glorious church, climbing the mountain of Jehovah, entering the house of the God of Jacob—all require this kind of character. Let us together build God's glorious church, build the house of Jesus Christ. What is most needed is a character that perseveres to the very end and never gives up. That is why I keep emphasizing this character. I have spoken about it, but whether you have this character is a decision you must make yourself.

When I used to work, I was the only one left in the office. I would leave work alone, doing my plans without wasting a minute. I prepared my things. Was there hope? What hope was there? It was desolate. But I knew I had this character within me, and today I share it with you. So, let us hold firm to our boasting and bold hope to the very end. That is the house of God, the church of God. The most crucial element in building God's church is perseverance.

God puts people in this world to experience intense labor, to forge resilience and grit.

Don't think the world's richest are not tired; they actually are extremely tired, such as Russian President Vladimir Putin, is he tired? He’s very tired, the problems he have is similar to the problems you face. God put humans in the world to experience extreme labor, is to pick out the treasure. Do you want to be trash or treasure? To trains one’s character of perseverance is key. Regardless what you’re facing, start training now.

For example, you’ve been unemployed for a year, what did you train this last year? Some people trained a divergence character, what should be done? Regardless of what you face, don’t be afraid, being human, you’ll be tired, so be a person of perseverance. Very few people will continue to work at the technical work after being manager, I became a manager and smoothed out the whole thing and then I finally understood!

Next, I’ll continue to teach how to manage. We taught tens of lessons. At that time, I didn’t understand how to manage, everything I learned bit by bit, and later I tell you; when you’re managing one person, if you have no character, it’ll be a tragedy. If you have no character, you will have no charm, if they see you, they will think, “Why should I follow you?” then it’ll be bad. So such persevering character is important, we must persist to the end with faith.

A few days ago, I met a friend who is an entrepreneur, he sold shoes, cloth and pots and pans, he sold everything however he started selling computers, servers and other equipments which he was successful. If he did not persist in what he was doing, he would be working as an employee. He sold shoes, cloth, so what type of job should he do? So perseverance is important.

We should shoot for one direction and persist until the fruit harvest. Some people wanted to go to university so they took the university entrance exam for twenties of years even after the son passed it. I admire such persevering character but he does not have the habit of learning. I see you continue to take the test for twenty years, of course you not equipped to take the university exam and you’re not the type of person to learn. He does not want to persevere in academics, only for that set point during those day you’ll take the test, if you persevere to learn how to study. Will you be taking the test for twenties of years?

Someone took the civil service examination for five, ten years, they’re still preparing for it, and finally they got in, so how does one persist? Due to the hope of taking the civil service exam. In the village where the my grew up in, one college graduate took a civil servant examination for five years, these five years staying at home doing test, preparing for test everyday and after passing the exam, the income is two, three thousand yuan and I was assigned to do a civil servant to a different county. The expectation and hope I had was this, if you ask me, I will not see for this, being a civil servant is very stable but what you become will be a stable poverty.

I thought, some persist years for Graduate School exam so why can you not persist on glory of hope? Regrettable, some read novel all night and play games all night, very persevering but they cannot adhere in what is right

People believes what can persist, this is a mysterious thing, people who do not believe, what they can persist, such exam of civil servant, taking the test for many years and becoming very poor, and after office, they will stable in their income with two, three thousand which they all believe into.

Today, if we believe to building Church is the key to solve the problem, so we can persist, some said, pastor, I cannot persist. It suggest that the heart does not believe and what they believe, they will persevere in it, if we have the glory of the hope of building a Church like this, of course we can persevere in it, you persevered for six years in school, you persisted six years in middle and high school, afterwards you persisted in four years in college, you would not have the character of perseverance, you must have it, everyday you go to work and come home, you definitely have the perseverance to keep going.

Why do some have the perseverance to return to Egypt? Because people believe in different things. Some say, “I was forced to because if I didn’t go to school, I’ll get hit,” today, if you do nt build God’s church, you will be hit as one, because what they believe they will persevere.

Let us hold fast to the hope that is ours, you were not without something to be proud off, our church during those times when there was almost nothing! Because we have type of character! We pray three months and those who struggle in their emotion will start feeling more stronger emotional! We prayed one entire day and the fever completely healed away, we prayed for those with brain infarct, stroke, lowback pain, vertebra pain, shoulder and neck, all cured through prayer, at that point, it seemed that the devil was cast out!

Later by then one eyes blink and then ten more years has passed. You must be one of the olimpians for you to go against Satan, you must have the qualification to do all that! Today, we have what to be proud off. Our creator and savior is so great, why would I climb the mountains of yhwh? We finally came into this world and grew as an adult is why not seek after the most hopeful god and to complete the most hopeful goals!?

Let us believe in the strength from the almighty to build God’s church in this world to see the presence of God. I have faced the challenge of the sisters and brothers giving up. When I asked the sister if she could persevere for one minute, she was able to respond Yes I can. You can have 5 minutes that will allow two 5 mins that will add up until you reach one week, until you reach one month until you become year . As you reflect to the end of 2024 you can see how fast time has gone by, and you must be one day where your character will persevere til one year! So the word “Unable” can turn into “being able” to persevere!

Believe till the end, Persist to the end and all those who patiently wait will have salvation and be able to see the glory of God and be able to persevere til the mountains until its peak to see the saints and temple of God and the glory of God in our faces is our hope. There are many people with perseverance but their direction is not right; whether the Christian of Israelite, they persevere in the face of God’s wrath because the directions are wrong, many give up in the middle to continue. Those who give up are worse.

In the scriptures that’s mentions Cain, Lamech, Esau, Jeroboam could’ve persevered but their directions were wrong, Esau may have insisted on keeping his wild beast no matter how long that may take but his insistence would one day offend God as he would want to give up his birth right one day after saying “I’m almost exhausted! So, I’ll transfer my right of being the first born.” it's a proud and honourable hope!

Although Cain and other may not have accomplished any deeds but yet they found something they insisted of but not a good expectation, their view of hope is a mass where their hope may fall into as they look into God’s face in eternity and climb the mountain of yhwh

You need to understand that every single difficulty and impediment you will encounter it will give you assurance where God is with you and is your strength and sword. the Holy Spirit as well . And thats what it means to be saved through the help of the power of God.

There was once a tennis coach that one day said I beat you. It shows that it’s possible to claim your ground from spiritual battles, we must not be in a state as though we have no one because you may be a child of God and that you are the righteous child.

Cain may have been able to persevere but we, as people of God should be able to pay the price! Lamech may have been to persevere but we must pay a price!

II. Scripture

Today's scripture is Hebrews 3:1-6.

Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest. He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house. Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. “Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house,”attesting to what would be said in the future. But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory.(Hebrews 3:1-6)

III. Prayer

O God! May Your deeds continue to manifest among us! May You be our strength, and may we run forward with this boastful hope and climb upward. O God! Give us such strength and faithfulness today, imitating Jesus Christ and building a glorious church. O God! Mold our persevering character, and let us persevere to the end in boasting and boldness, until victory, until we see Your glorious face. Your will be done, may Your will be accomplished in us. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

IV. Background

These verses are quite meaningful from the jews and the words written is from paul as the christian lives may face extreme struggles and great perseverance is also crucial! There are people who are not able to continue persevering or chose to give up as they may be either giving up or persevering

Paul came and wrote to exhort those jew converted christian to continue to persevere as the jew could possibly continue walking down the path of israel where they were just stubborn in their faith. People may have continued walking in faith and have struggles and difficulties in their mental state! Giving up is frustrating but persevering gets more frustrating that the person will be continue to persevere and continue to give up, such constant flip is hard! Paul is never easily exhausted whereas other continue to struggle constantly back and forth.

Paul persevered and believed, making his path easier. If you ask me, is it easier to persevere or to give up? Of course, it is easier to persevere to the end. Giving up is easy, but once you give up, it becomes difficult. If you encounter difficulties in your work and give up, giving up is easy at that moment, but it becomes difficult afterward.

When I started building the church, it was truly difficult, and it still is now. What if I had given up? There would be even more problems and it would be even more difficult. That is why Paul wrote about it twice. We are his house, the house of Jesus Christ, the house of God, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast. Actually, it should not be translated as house, but as the temple of God, because in the Bible, the English word is house, the house of God.

In verse 14, we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end. This is consistent with the Exodus in the Old Testament. If you do not persevere to the Promised Land, you will die in the wilderness. Which is easier? Of course, entering the Promised Land is easier. It is obvious. Paul wrote this letter to the Hebrews because they were on the verge of giving up.

Why were they on the verge of giving up? Because they were pursuing the law of Moses. The law of Moses and the gospel preached by Paul are different: one is the gospel of Jesus Christ, based on faith, and the other is the law of Moses, based on works. In fact, if the law of Moses is understood correctly, it is also based on faith, but they misinterpreted it.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, if you are not persevering on the path of faith, you will not be able to persevere. If you are persevering on the path of works, you will also not be able to persevere. So you must return to the path of faith and believe in God's Word. If you choose to believe in God, God will become your strength. If you do not believe in God, you will have no strength. What determines whether we can persevere is belief.

Some people persevere in taking the college entrance exam for twenty years because they believe it is their glorious hope. But it also proves one thing: the direction of their perseverance is somewhat problematic. So perseverance is not difficult; the thing that is both difficult and simple is belief.

If you have faith, you can persevere. If you do not have faith, it is difficult to persevere. If you have hope, you can persevere. If you do not have hope, it is difficult to persevere. Have you noticed this pattern? What is perseverance? Perseverance is actually a response of faith. We have immediately found the root of unbelief, the root of not persevering. No perseverance means no faith; having perseverance means having faith. So restoring faith in God is the theme that Paul wants to express in this passage.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, we all need perseverance and faith, and this faith is trusting in God. Our hope is to build God's glorious temple. So today, everyone sees the state of the church, which is what the church looked like in my heart many years ago. But today, I have a new hope, a vision of a new and glorious church. So our ascent is endless. Of all things, faith is the root. Today, we begin to have faith. You believe what kind of person you will be in the future, and that is a judgment about the future. A judgment about the future is called faith.

Today, this faith must be built on the foundation of God's glorious church. If we believe that we will still be in debt in three years, and then after three years we see that the debt has not been repaid, why? Because believing in that stuff is not very meaningful. Believe that I am a builder of God's glorious church, and you will see God's miraculous work in your life.

V. We Have a Hope of Which to Boast

What hope do people in this world have of which to boast? None. Some people buy a piece of land for themselves before they die and take people to visit it, saying, Look, this is my burial plot. I will be buried here after I die. The tombs of emperors are called mausoleums, while those of ordinary people are called graves or tombs. The reason why the tombs of emperors are called mausoleums is because they are emperors, and they build grand mausoleums for themselves while they are still alive. For example, Qin Shi Huang built many terracotta warriors during his lifetime. Now, after the terracotta warriors have been unearthed, people exclaim, Wow, these are underground armies! Because Qin Shi Huang believed in these things; he had a set of things he believed in.

Qin Shi Huang believed that after his death, he would go to the underworld and continue to be Qin Shi Huang there. Therefore, he built his mausoleum, hoping to continue his reign in the underworld. However, no matter how magnificent the tomb is built, in the end, he is just a ghost. This makes people think about the question: What is the hope of man?

Some people hope for money, some people hope for cars, but what will these hopes have to do with them in a hundred years? In a hundred years, they will certainly be gone. The hopes of mankind are sometimes sad. Some people hope to be promoted, but when they reach their seventies or eighties, they may no longer be needed. In the United States, people in their seventies or eighties can still run for president, but in China, what can you do at that age? Maybe you can only be a consultant.

It is very sad for a person to have no hope in this world. Hope for what? Just hope for death. Living in such a state, people look for things to show their existence. They get some satisfaction from showing their existence, but it is still very sad. What is our hope? Our hope is eternal life. Our hope is not temporary material things, but God's glorious temple, seeing God's glorious face. Do you believe it? Many people do not believe it. People can only see getting a job, becoming a civil servant, going to college, finding a job, getting a certificate, and seeing the real money in their business. People's hopes are these things.

So the question comes up: If a person does not believe, how can he persevere? People's vision needs to be lengthened a little, by buying a telescope with ten times, a hundred times, or six hundred times magnification to see farther. Can you see a hundred years or two hundred years into the future? I tell you, once you jump out of this set of things in our life, and stand on God's throne, in God's eternity, and look down, you will find that man's time is very short. Several of my friends have already passed away. Today I give you a concept, which is this hope of which to boast. No matter how you analyze it in this world, you cannot analyze what hope there is of which to boast.

Later, people invented something called historical fame. But this is also meaningless, because after death, you have nothing to do with it. So what is the hope of which we boast today? It is to obtain God's glory in eternity. A person's body will die, but a person's soul is eternal. Returning to God is called eternal life, and going to hell is called eternal death. So Jesus Christ died for us, and died on the cross, and rose again from the dead, letting us know the hope of glory. People need the hope of glory very much. Without the hope of glory, people's lives in this world are very miserable.

When a person is alive, a piece of his lung is cut off, and a piece of his stomach is cut off; then a piece of his liver is cut off; and a blood vessel in his brain is blocked; and later his arms and legs cannot move very well, and his teeth are not very good for eating, and it goes on and on. The other day when I was leading a prayer, someone said, Teacher, my hemorrhoids are acting up.

I have a friend who had hemorrhoid surgery, and as a result, they cut off too much. His butt hurts when he sits on a chair, and he gets tired from standing for too long. He slowly endures this life. Who told you not to ascend the mountain of the Lord, to enter the temple of the God of Jacob? There are no hemorrhoids on the mountain of the Lord, there is no cancer on the mountain of the Lord, and on the mountain of the Lord, there is no need to cut off a kidney, cut off a piece of lung, or cut off a piece of stomach.

I thank God that until today, those who come among us are healed. Based on this alone, can everyone's brains work a little better? Indeed, some people say, Then I have to stay in Mingding Destiny, I have to save on medical expenses here. Don't say it, he really grasped a superficial point! This is also a hope of which to boast.

Then why not take another step forward? Why can you save so much on medical expenses in this place? Why does he only want the superficial point and not the essence inside? Seeing a group of people here building God's glorious church, and also wanting to be such a person, that is the smart choice!

Seeing a group of people building God's glorious church, which can bring such abundant fruit, such abundant glory and grace, then I also want to join these people, build God's glorious church, ascend the mountain of the Lord, know the truth of God, and constantly break through in the truth of God. What do you do with your time now? If you want to break through, then ascend the mountain of the Lord, know God's Word, know God's truth, which is so good!

VI. Develop a Character of Persevering to the End

When we know very clearly in our understanding that a character of persevering to the end is a good thing, then we begin to pursue and build a character of persevering to the end! You know that the lowest levels of climbing the mountain of the Lord are very difficult. You are climbing the mountain in the front, and the devil is constantly shooting arrows in the back, which is very hard. So the lower the level a Christian is at, the harder it will be. Do not think that you will have a lot of grace as soon as you become a Christian. In fact, it is very hard. Only when you climb up will it not be hard. In fact, this is also the case in this world. You have to go up. A different level, a different perspective on problems, and different abilities.

We want to build a character of persevering to the end. I believe that you once worked hard to climb up, but after climbing a few levels, you were panting, and then you encountered a little devil. The little devil wanted to kick you down. You wanted to charge up, but he was standing high and kicking you down. You were charging up, which was simply unfair competition.

At this time, rely on the power of the Holy Spirit to kill the demon. Remember that every breakthrough has demons hindering it, and every time you want to enter the Promised Land, there are giants guarding there. You are very weak at the beginning. You encounter a weak demon and find that it is also a giant. When you slowly become stronger and climb to the middle, you will find that the one who comes is also a giant. Every time it is a giant.

We begin to build more of a character of persevering to the end. I will tell you one thing: In my past years, every problem I encountered seemed as big as a mountain. Later I found that I could overcome every time! I was so lucky! Was that luck? How come it always seemed like I was about to die, but then I overcame it? How come I was never defeated? That was too amazing. Difficulties are often like mountains. I found that God had predestined me to overcome. Everyone write this sentence down. In fact, the demon that comes to stop you is just a paper tiger.

Someone said I am invincible. That is good! Today I will be invincible. If I am in the West, then I will be invincible in the West. So this character of persevering to the end, I later found that as long as I am willing to persevere, I can persevere. Everyone listen to my teachings from earlier years. I would often say to persevere one minute longer than the devil. In fact, one second is enough. That demon is very difficult to deal with. I saw that it did not work after praying for a month, it did not work after two months, it did not work after three months, but if I persisted until Satan gave up.

Later, I also discovered a pattern when I was exorcising demons. Ordinary demons can last for an hour. If you pray for more than an hour, they will not leave. They can last for about three hours. If they do not leave after three hours, they can usually last for eight hours. Sometimes it is a day, sometimes a month, or three months, or a year. I do not care about you. As long as I do not retreat, the demon must retreat. This is called persevering one minute longer than the devil. So later they gave me a nickname, Demon's Bane.

What if a bigger demon comes? Do not worry! God will not approve it. The demon has to get a permit from God. When God sees it, He will say, This demon cannot defeat you. No, I have to change it. Small demons will not come either, because they have all been defeated. There is no need to waste time anymore. God predestined us to overcome. I ask you, can you persevere? Of course you can! Because God predestined us to overcome.

After exorcising a demon, a person's faith will increase a little. Later, I discovered that there is no defeat. It is not because of what you did, nor is it because of what you did not do, but because you did not give up there. So as long as you persevere, you can overcome. I thought, How good is my God! Later, I was also wondering, Why are the demons that come all those that I can defeat? In fact, those that I cannot defeat did not come.

When we are building God's glorious church, those demons that are bigger than me and more powerful than me, that I cannot defeat, usually live in the bodies of our brothers and sisters in the church, hiding and not coming out. Later, when my spiritual height was enough, they manifested themselves, and once they manifested themselves, they were driven out.

If the demons had manifested themselves before, would the church not have been defeated? This is also very interesting. When the church climbs to a certain height, it must be holy. So holiness is closely related to exorcism. Building a holy, united, and glorious church is all related to exorcism. How good! Do not believe the lies. As long as you persevere, God will let you overcome.
Because God has predestined you to overcome, and it is Jesus Christ who makes you overcome. Jesus Christ has already overcome. Our Jesus Christ is the victorious Jesus Christ, who has overcome the power of the underworld. So God wants to build His church on this rock, and the power of the underworld cannot overcome it. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you release on earth will be released in heaven. I wonder why some people are still unwilling to accept it, because they do not believe that God has predestined them to overcome. Everyone must believe today.

An old man once said a sentence: Why do I need you to persuade me about things that are beneficial to me? I said: Yes, do I need to persuade you about things that are beneficial to you? God has predestined you to overcome, why do you not believe it? It is just choosing to believe. You can persevere to this day, which are miracles. You can persevere to this day? Did you think you relied on yourself? Not at all. This is God's work. You are all God's treasures. Do not fall behind and do not drop the ball.

VII. Do Not Believe Lies

Do not believe lies, do you know how many lies of the devil I have seen through in the process of building this glorious church of God? That's old habit! Have you ever found that people especially like to explain? A few days ago a sister was sick, and when I was ministering to her, the demon inside her deceived her, and she said a lot of reasons, explaining this and explaining that. Her explanations are very interesting, for example, my original family is like this, so I am like this. Then I was born like this, then I can't change. In fact, this is a lie, what exactly is the person explaining?

Until today's Christianity, including these charismatic churches inside, there are many such lies. These lies are explanations, what do they explain? Family curses behind them, explain this is the original family, you are born like this, so that is it. After explaining, what do you do? After explaining, it is uncomfortable. Some people feel that: Look, my family is like this, I have a cancerous character in me, I feel so uncomfortable. In fact, these are all nonsense. Some people say this is genes and a bunch of other things. All lies! Only one thing is right, that is, today I want to choose to be a person with character.

God has predestined me to overcome, and there is a boastful hope in me, as long as I persevere to the end, I am the home of God, then I can see the glory of God, and I can enter the temple of God. So people are hardened in their hearts by the deception of sin, and they keep explaining this. Later, when this sister reacted, she said: Teacher, so explanation is a demon. Later, she told me that she often said, I don't want it, as soon as she encountered something, and these are all lies of the devil. In fact, whether you want it or not is not important, what is important is what kind of person you want to be.

I want to be a person full of God's glory, because that is how God created me. Living like this is not tiring, and it does not feel hard, because the mountain of the Lord is easy to climb. If it is not easy to climb, it is because you are using the wrong method. You have to hold the sword of the Spirit, the Holy Spirit does not care if you treat the sword as a cane-like object, you just use the sword as a crutch to support yourself. When some places are slippery, insert the sword of the Spirit into it, grab it tightly and hold on to it. God is your help, God wants you to be saved, God wants you to overcome, do not be unbelieving anymore.

God wants to bring us to the Promised Land, God wants us to see His glory, God wants us to be able to enter His temple and behold His beauty. So don't explain anymore, my character is like this, nothing else matters, what matters is that God wants to save me, what a wonderful grace this is! The devil has released many lies, and they are all useless. Some people have to recover after getting COVID, and they have to recover for half a year. After half a year, the sequelae of this COVID are still there, that is a lie.

After some brothers and sisters get sick, I take them to work, and they recover quickly, and they are full of strength, and they recover all at once. Everyone, don't believe the lies anymore, people believe the lies and the set of explanations, which makes people hardened in their hearts and falls into the destruction of lies.

VIII. Believe in God

So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief. (Hebrews 3:19)

The Bible says it very well, so we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief. In fact, it is easy to persevere, because the path of the Apostle Paul is relatively easy. The yoke of Jesus is easy and the yoke of the world is heavy. From now on, believe in God, set your heart, run forward with this prideful expectation! In the end we shall see the glorious face of God, and shall become faithful disciples, doing our best in the house of God, Amen!

God will accomplish his salvation, our salvation is accomplished by God. and we are only those who believe. Whosoever believes has hope, whosoever has hope has perserverance, whosoever has perseverance rejects the lies of the devil, that is the grace of God! God's grace ist the sea, we can't imagine it at all. It is such a vast grace, that will fall upon us,Amen.

May God bless everyone!

大家好,今天我们继续讲《建造神荣耀的教会》系列的第五讲。建造神荣耀的教会最需要的就是性格,尤其是坚持的性格。所以今天的主题是“将可夸的盼望和胆量坚持到底”。我认为坚持是一种性格,你会发现很多人缺乏坚持,他们做一点事情,没干多久就换跑道。 比如说,打乒乓球打得不好,就去打羽毛球,打羽毛球不行,又去打网球。为什么乒乓球不行呢?因为乒乓球打得太快了,羽毛球打得慢,但羽毛球距离太短了,于是去打网球。最后是一个很烂的乒乓球手;一个很烂的羽毛球手;也是一个更烂的网球手,因为这一生就一直在换,没有坚持过。 后来我观察到一件事,麦当劳的每个柜台前都排了好几个队伍,因为前面有一个人点了五十个汉堡,有的人就觉得这一队排得太慢了,于是就换到另外一队去了。结果排的时候看刚才那队的速度挺快的,可是下一个人又点了很多汉堡、薯条、饮料等,速度变慢了,急性子的人就又换了。周而复始,这样的人因为缺乏坚持,总是无法达到目标。真正的成功需要将可夸的盼望和胆量坚持到底,不轻易放弃,这是建造神荣耀的教会所需要的核心品质。

这个急性子来回换队伍的人,最后也没买上薯条和汉堡,还特别累,人这一生没有坚持的性格真是悲剧,我经常看到这样的人。我就有坚持到底的性格,我要做一件事,我一定给它做成了,事情做不成绝不罢休。 其实做事最需要的不是能力,人活着不是跑百米,人活着是跑马拉松。人最需要的不是能力,而是一个坚持的性格。有的人坚持没多久就去刷抖音了,一就是两个小时,然后回来再坚持五分钟,那刷抖音的时候可能坚持了,最后一事无成。 我教一个姐妹学习编程,能让我教真的是恩典,因为我教得特别好。这个姐妹就说:我要去整人工智能。我就在想,编程都整不好,还要去整人工智能?这是什么脑子啊?后来我就给她浇了盆冷水,我说:算了吧!人工智能需要你吗?她说:我可以教人工智能。其实人工智能不用教,自动驾驶的汽车也不用学,人家自己一按就走了。后来又换了很多个项目,就是不能够固定在一件事上,把事干成。 如果你攀登耶和华的山,爬了几步下去了,又爬几步又下去了,这太难了。那干啥不难呢?你在那上去下来,上去下来能不难吗?看着都难,看着都闹心。在我服侍的过程当中,这样的案例太多了,说明人在达成目标之前,可能就差最后一步就达成目标了,很多人还是选择了放弃。所以你知道吗?我真的巴不得弟兄姐妹都能够有一种,将可夸的盼望和胆量坚持到底。

坚持到底真的需要胆量,因为有拦阻啊,你没胆量的话坚持不下去的。放弃就没事了吗?放弃事儿就更多了,放弃就被鬼按在地上摩擦,我看着心痛和无奈啊。我什么都能帮你,就是不能帮你做这个选择。 今天我巴不得弟兄姐妹都能够成为坚持到底的人,做事儿绝不放弃。信主绝不放弃,攀登耶和华的山绝不放弃,建造神荣耀的殿绝不放弃,并不是你爬到了山顶才经历神,而是你从一开始爬山的时候就经历神了,咱们当中有很多经历过神的人。 我深受一个人的影响,这个人是我大学的班主任。我大学的班主任是一位女老师,她是一个看似平常的老师。后来她邀请我们去她家做客,当我们到她家时,见到了她的丈夫,他是一个非常有性格的人,只需看一眼他的脸和表情,就能感受到他的非凡,他是一位做核物理的专家,他与我们分享了他的经历,他曾参与原子弹的研发,工作地点在深山老林中的研究所,因为研究所都设在山洞里。

后来在一次抓捕叛徒的行动中,他被误认为是内奸,被抓了起来。那个年代确实很混乱,很难分辨出谁是真正的叛徒。他被关在一个没有窗户的房间里,灯光24小时亮着,门上有一个小洞,每天有人通过这个小洞给他送饭。他完全不知道什么时候会有饭送来,只能靠观察小洞里是否有饭碗来判断时间。在那小破房间里,他用手指在墙上画叶子来记录吃饭的次数。 三年多之后,他终于被释放出来了。在这三年多的时间里,他没有和人说过话,也没有人理会他,他只能在房间里默默地等待,不知道哪天会被放出来。当他最终被释放时,他发现和他一起被关进监狱的那些人们,有好些人疯掉、死掉了。他是少数幸存下来的,大概就三分之一的概率。我听完他说的话,我就觉着这人里面的性格了不得,我挺羡慕这种人,这是一个内心非常强大的人。所以我告诉你,坚持一定会坚持到得胜。 那些能够从第二次世界大战的集中营里出来的人,都是很厉害的牛人。那些在乡下能够坚持下来的也都是牛人,不是在知识上多,而是坚持的性格厉害。要记住,性格决定了人的未来。如果你要训练你的孩子,大学不重要,中学不重要,小学也不重要,性格才是最重要的。如果人没有性格有啥都没用,遇到了像我老师的老公的这种状况,那肯定完蛋了。

建造神荣耀的教会,攀登耶和华的山,进雅各神的殿,就需要这种性格。让我们一同建造神荣耀的教会,建造耶稣基督的家,最需要的就是坚持到底、永不放弃的性格。所以我不断地在讲这种性格,我讲是讲了,你有没有这种性格,这真的需要你自己做个决定。 我以前做工的时候,当时办公室就剩下我自己,我一个人下班,我做我的计划,我是一分钟都不耽误的。我做计划,准备我的东西,有没有盼望?有啥盼望啊?荒凉啊。但是我知道在我里面就有这个性格,今天我也把这样的性格分享给你。所以我们就将可夸的盼望和胆量坚持到底,那便是神的家,就是神的教会。所以建造神的教会,最需要的就是坚持。神把人放在这世上,让人经历极重的劳苦。 大家千万不要以为世界首富很轻松,其实是很辛苦的,比如说,俄罗斯的总统普京,他辛苦不?很辛苦啊。他所面临的问题,跟你面临的问题感觉上是差不多。神把人放在这世上经历极重的劳苦,就是要把宝贝给挑出来。你想做宝贝还是做垃圾?训练坚持的性格就是关键,这就是神的目的。无论你遇到什么事儿,现在就开始训练。

比如说,你失业一年了,这一年里你都训练了啥?有的人训练了一个发散的性格,那怎么办?不管遇到了什么事儿都不要害怕,人活在这世上,不要害怕,反正都是很辛苦的。既然如此,那就要做一个有坚持性格的人。很少有人在做了管理以后,还会继续做技术工作。我做管理,我就把管理这事儿,梳理了又梳理,终于明白了其中的门道。 接下来,我会继续跟大家讲管人管事,我们已经讲了差不多十几课了。当时也不知道怎么管理,都是一点点学来的。后来我告诉你,当你管人的时候,如果你身上没有性格,那就糟糕了。你身上没有性格就没有魅力,人家一看你,我凭什么跟着你啊?这就坏了。所以坚持这种性格很重要,在信心上坚持到底。 前几天我见了一个朋友,他是个生意人,卖过鞋、卖过布、锅碗瓢盆、啥都卖过,后来他开始卖电脑相关的设备,服务器、储存这些东西,一下子就做起来了。如果他不坚持下去的话,那就去打工了。他卖过鞋,卖过布,还打啥工啊?所以坚持很重要。

我们做事儿要瞄准一个方向,坚持到收获的果实。有些人考大学,考了二十多年,儿子都考上了,他还在考呢。我挺佩服这样的人,他有坚持的性格,但是他没有坚持学习的性格。你考了二十多年,肯定是不够资格,也不是真正会学习的人。他在学习上不坚持,只是每年到那个时候去考。你要是平时好好地坚持,还用考二十年吗? 有人考编制考了五年、十年,还在那考编制。最后终于考上了,那怎么坚持呢?因为他觉着考编制是他荣耀的盼望。我们老家有一个人,大学毕业考公务员考了五年,这五年就在家待着准备考试,天天刷题。考上了以后呢,一个月两三千块钱,被分到外县做公务员去了。原来他的盼望就是这个,反正你要问我的话,我是看不上这盼望,公务员是挺稳定的,但那是很稳定的穷。 我就在想,有人考研也是考了好多年,虚空的盼望尚且如此,那荣耀的盼望为什么不能够坚持呢?感慨啊!有的人读小说一读就是一个通宵,有人打麻将一打就打一个通宵,那是很能坚持的,但是一干正事儿就坚持不了。

所以人相信什么,就能坚持什么,这是一件很神奇的事儿。人不相信就不会坚持,人只要相信就会坚持。你看有人考公务员,考了这么多年,穷得叮当乱响。后来上班了以后赚两三千块钱,接着继续很稳定的穷,他们全家就相信这个。 今天如果我们相信建造神荣耀的教会,是解决问题的关键,那我们也能坚持。有的人说:老师,我坚持不了。那就说明人里面还是不相信,人不信的东西是坚持不了的。如果有荣耀的盼望,相信建造神荣耀的教会是这个样子的,肯定能坚持下去。大家都坚持过,你坚持读了六年小学,又坚持读了六年的初中和高中,后来又坚持读了四年的大学,那你怎么可能没有坚持的性格呢?你肯定有!每天上班下班都坚持到了今天,大家都有坚持的性格。 那为什么有的人坚持回埃及呢?有的人坚持进应许之地,因为人相信的东西不一样。有的人说:我当时是被逼的,因为不上学就挨揍啊。那今天如果你不建造荣耀的教会,你也挨揍。人信的是什么,就会在什么事上坚持。

我们将可夸的盼望坚持到底,你不是没有可夸的东西。我们教会在很荒凉的时候就很厉害,因为我们里头有这种性格。我们祷告了三个月,忧郁症好了,我们祷告一天一夜发烧彻底好了。我们为那些脑梗、中风、腰椎颈椎疼、肩膀疼痛的人祷告,后来全都好了。当时我就觉着,我们打鬼打到撒旦了。 后来一转眼十年过去了,到现在也还没打到撒旦呢。你得做奥林匹克冠军,你才能和撒旦去较量。你得有那个资格才能较量,小鬼你都干不过,你打什么撒旦?后来我就发现,人在一开始的时候就经历神,就有可夸的盼望!我们的神这么好,为什么我不去攀登耶和华的山呢?为什么我不去进雅各神的殿,见证神荣耀的教会呢?人好不容易来到这世上,长大成人,为什么不去寻找一个最有盼望的神,达成最有盼望的目标呢? 我们就在相信上刚强,建造神的家,神的教会,就会明明地看见神的同在,选择有信心坚持虾去。我曾经遇到一个姐妹,她说:老师,我坚持不了。我说:那你能不能坚持一分钟?她说:能。我说:再坚持一分钟可以吗?她说:可以啊。这不就坚持五分钟了吗?那有了五分钟,两个五分钟不就十分钟了吗?我接着说:你坚持一天可以吗?她说:可以啊。

原来坚持一天不难啊!那你坚持一个一天,就能坚持两个一天,有两个一天,就有三个一天,然后就一个礼拜了。一个月都坚持了,那一年不就也坚持了吗?你看这2024年眼看就结束了,有没有发现时间过得挺快的?大家一定要做一个有性格的人,能坚持一分钟就能坚持到一年呢。什么叫不能坚持?都能坚持。 在相信上坚持,坚持到底和忍耐到底的就必得救,忍耐到底的就必看见神的荣耀,坚持到山的顶部,就会看见神的圣殿。进了神的殿就会看见神的荣面,那就是我们的盼望。有的人有坚持的性格,可是坚持错方向了。我告诉你,基督徒也好,以色列人也好,都经常坚持错方向,他们很坚持地刷抖音、刷手机,朝着神愤怒的方向坚持。那可不是可夸的盼望,因为坚持方向错了。有的人坚持要回埃及,坚持爱世界,坚持识别善恶,坚持体贴肉体,掰都掰不过来,一掰还给我亮牙齿。 在《圣经》里记载的该隐、拉麦、以扫、耶罗波安,他们都可能坚持了,但是坚持的方向错了。以扫坚持追野猪,那野猪跑十公里,他也跑十公里,可是坚持的方向错了,后来累昏了头,光顾着得罪耶和华了,心里还在想:我都快累死了,还要什么祝福啊?转手就把长子的名分给卖了,那可不是可夸的盼望。

所以我今天鼓励大家,不是该隐他们没有做成什么事儿,他们在这世上都达成了非凡的成就,但却不是可夸的盼望。他们的盼望就是一个坟头,就是一口棺材,一个墓碑。但是我们所夸的是在永恒里见神的荣面,重新回到神的心意,攀登耶和华的山,进雅各神的殿,你一定会遇到拦阻,一定会遇到困难。每一次的拦阻和困难,要知道有神与你同在。圣灵会成为你的宝剑,成为你的力量,成为我们随时的帮助,这就是救恩,靠着神往上攀登。 有个打网球的人,她说了一句话:I beat you。大家知道什么意思吗?就是我会打败你。所以说今天我们就带着这种性格:I will beat you!靠着神攀登属灵的高峰,建造神荣耀的教会,绝不是在那悠哉游哉,不付代价。 该隐可以付代价,我们神的百姓更应该付代价。拉麦可以付代价,我们更可以付代价。因为我们有可夸的盼望。在迦南地里头,占据着我们的应许之地,巨人要被踩在脚下,应许之地是我们的,神荣耀的圣殿是我们的。

神啊!愿你在我们当中,不断地彰显你的作为!你要成为我们的力量,让我们就带着这可夸的盼望向前奔跑,向上攀登。神啊!今天你就给我们这样的力量,给我们这样的忠心,效法耶稣基督,建造荣耀的教会。神啊!陶造我们坚持的性格,让我们在可夸的盼望和胆量上坚持到底,直到得胜,直到见你的荣面,你的旨意本是如此,愿你的旨意成就在我们的身上。奉耶稣基督的名,阿们。

这世上的人有什么可夸的盼望吗?没有。有的人在去世前为自己购买了一块墓地,并在生前带人参观说:你看,这是我的墓地,我死后就葬在这里。皇帝的墓地称为“陵”,而我们普通人的称为“墓”或“坟墓”。皇帝的陵墓之所以叫“陵”,是因为他是皇帝,在他生前就为自己建造一个宏大的皇陵。例如,秦始皇在世时建造了许多兵马俑。如今,兵马俑出土后,人们惊叹道:哎呦,这些是地下的军队啊!因为秦始皇相信这些,他有一套自己所信奉的东西。 秦始皇相信他死后会到阴间地府,并且在那儿继续做秦始皇。因此,他建造了自己的陵墓,希望在阴间继续他的皇位。然而,无论坟墓建得有多么宏伟,最终他也不过是个鬼。这就让人思考一个问题:人的盼望到底是什么呢? 有的人盼望钱,有的人盼望车,但这些盼望在一百年后与他有什么关系呢?一百年后,他肯定不在了。人类的盼望有时是可悲的,有的人盼望升官,但到了七老八十,可能已经不需要他了。在美国七老八十还可以竞选总统,但在中国,到了这个年纪能干什么呢?可能只能做个顾问吧。

人在这世上没有盼望是很可悲的。盼望什么呢?只是盼望死亡而已。在这样的光景中生活,人们就寻找一些刷存在感的东西。刷存在感得到一点满足,但这仍然是很可悲的。我们的盼望是什么呢?我们的盼望是永生。我们的盼望不是短暂的物质,而是神荣耀的殿,见神荣耀的面。你信吗?很多人不信。人们只能看见,考个编制,考个公务员,考上大学,找份工作,考个证书,看见自己生意的真金白银,人们的盼望就是这些。 所以问题就来了,如果人不相信,他怎么可能坚持呢?人的目光需要拉长一点,买一个十倍、一百倍、六百倍的望远镜,看得远一点。能不能看出去一百年、两百年?我告诉你,一旦跳出我们今生的这套东西,人站在神的宝座,神永恒的里面,往下一看会发现人的时间是很短的,我有几个朋友都已经去世了。今天我给你一个概念,就是这个可夸的盼望,这世上怎么分析,也分析不出来有什么可夸的盼望。 后来人就发明了一个东西,叫做名流青史。这也没啥意义啊,因为死后都跟你没啥关系了。那我们今天所夸的盼望是什么呢?是在永恒里得神的荣耀。人的肉身会死,但是人的灵魂是永存的。回到神那里叫永生,到地狱那里叫永死。所以耶稣基督为我们死,且死在十字架上,又从死里复活,让我们知道荣耀的盼望。人很需要荣耀的盼望,没有荣耀的盼望,人在这世上活着很悲惨的。

人在活着的时候肺被割去一块,胃被割去一块;然后肝又被割去一块;脑袋的血管又堵了一块儿;在往后胳膊、腿不太能动了,吃饭牙齿也不太好使了,没完没了。那天我在带领祷告的时候,有人说:老师,我的痔疮犯了。 我有一个朋友做痔疮手术,结果割多了,一坐在椅子上屁股就疼,站久了又累。这一辈子慢慢地熬吧,谁让你不登耶和华的山,进雅各神的殿了呢?在耶和华的山上没有痔疮,在耶和华的山上干没有癌症,在耶和华的山上,不需要割掉肾,割去一块肺,割去一块胃。 我感谢神,直到今天,来咱们当中的都是得医治的。就凭这件事儿,大家的脑子能不能好使一点?的确也有人说:那我得留在命定神学,我得在这儿把医药费省了。你别说,他还真的抓到了一个皮毛啊,这也是一个可夸的盼望。 那为什么不往前再迈一步呢?为什么在这个地方,可以省这么多的医药费呢?为什么他光要那个皮毛,不要里面的本质呢?看到这里有一群建造神荣耀教会的人,也要做这样的人,这才是聪明的选择! 看到一群建造神荣耀教会的人,可以带来如此丰盛的果实,如此丰盛的荣耀和恩典。那我也要加入这些人,建造神荣耀的教会,攀登耶和华的山,认识神的真理,不断地在神的真理上突破。你现在的时间都干啥了呢?如果想突破,就攀登耶和华的山,认识神的话,认识神的真理,好得无比。

当我们在悟性上很清楚的知道,坚持到底的性格是件好事,那就开始追求,建立坚持到底的性格!你知道攀登耶和华的山,最低的几层是很难的,你在前面爬山,魔鬼在后面不断地射箭,那是很辛苦的。所以做基督徒越在低的层次,就会越辛苦。千万不要以为刚做了基督徒就很有恩典啊,其实很辛苦的。只有爬上去才不辛苦,其实这世上也是这样,你得往上走,层次不一样,看问题的角度不一样,能力也不一样。 我们要建立坚持到底的性格,我相信曾经你也很努力地往上攀登过,但是爬了几层以后气喘吁吁,然后还遇到了一个小鬼,小鬼就想把你往下踹,你就想往上冲,它站在高处往下踹你,你往上冲,简直是不公平的竞争。 这个时候靠着圣灵的能力把鬼干掉,记住每一次的突破都有鬼拦阻,每一次你要进应许之地,都有巨人在那里把守。你开始的时候很弱小,你碰到一个弱小的鬼,发现那也是个巨人。等你慢慢地变强大了,你爬到中间了,你会发现来的也是个巨人,每次都是巨人。 我们就开始多建造坚持到底的性格,我告诉你一件事儿,在我过去的这些年里,每一次遇到的问题都好像山一样大。后来我发现,怎么每一次都能胜过去呢?哎呀!运气真好啊!那是运气吗?怎么每一次看着好像都快要完蛋了,那怎么就得胜了呢?怎么就老也不被打败呢?那也太神奇了。困难很多时候都是像山一样,我发现原来是神预定我得胜,大家把这句话记下来,其实那个来拦住你的鬼,也不过就是个纸老虎。

有人说我是东方不败,那挺好啊!今天就做东方不败。如果在西方,那就做西方不败。所以这坚持到底的性格,其实后来我发现,只要我愿意坚持,我才能坚持下去。大家听我早些年的教导,常常是说比魔鬼坚持多一分钟,其实多一秒就行。那鬼很难缠的,我看到祷告一个月不行,两月不行,三月不行,坚持到撒旦,鬼就坚持不住了。 后来我还在赶鬼的时候发现了一个规律,一般的鬼能坚持一个小时,如果你祷告超过一个小时,它还不出去。大概就能坚持三个小时,如果三个小时不出去的,通常就能坚持八个小时,有的时候一天,有的时候一个月,三个月、一年我也不在乎你。只要我不退下去,鬼就必须退下去,这就叫做比魔鬼坚持多一分钟。所以后来他们还给我起了一个外号,叫‘鬼见愁’。 那如果来一个大点的鬼,咋办?放心!神不会批准。鬼得到神那里拿准证,神一看:这个鬼还干不过,不行,得换一个。小的鬼也不来,因为都打败了,不用再浪费时间了。原来神预定我们得胜,我问你能不能坚持下去?肯定能!因为神预定我们得胜。 赶了一个鬼后,人的信心就多一点。后来我就发现没有不得胜的,不是因为你做了啥,也不是因为你没做啥,是因为你在那里没退下去,所以只要你坚持下去你就能得胜。我就觉得我的神怎么这么好啊!后来我也在那儿纳闷,怎么来的鬼都是我能干掉的,其实干不掉的都没来。

我们在建造神荣耀的教会的时候,那些比我大,比我厉害的鬼,就是我干不过的,通常就住在咱们教会弟兄姐妹的身上,都隐藏着不出来。后来等我属灵的高度够了,牠就彰显了,一彰显就被赶出去了。 鬼如果之前彰显的话,那教会不就被干趴下了吗?这也挺有意思。教会爬到一个高度就要圣洁一把,所以圣洁就跟赶鬼紧密相关。建立圣洁、合一、荣耀的教会,都是跟赶鬼有关系,多好啊!不要相信谎言,只要你坚持,神就让你得胜。 因为神已经预定你得胜,使你得胜的是耶稣基督,耶稣基督已经得胜了。我们的耶稣基督是得胜的耶稣基督,是战胜了阴间的权势。所以神要把祂的教会建立在这磐石上,阴间的权势不能胜过祂。你在地上捆绑的,在天上也要被捆绑,在地上释放的,在天上也要被释放,我就纳闷有的人还不愿意领受,因为他不相信神预定他得胜,今天大家一定要相信。 有一个老人家说过一句话:对我有益处的事,为什么还需要你来劝导我呢?我说:是啊,对你有益的事还需要我劝导你吗?神已经预定你得胜,为什么你不信呢?就是选择相信。你能坚持到今天那就是神迹,你能坚持到今天,你以为是靠你自己啊?根本就不是。这是神的作为啊,你们都是神的宝贝,不要掉队,也不要掉链子。

不要相信谎言,你知道我在这个建造神荣耀教会的过程当中,识破了多少魔鬼的谎言呢?那可是老多了!大家有没有发现人特别喜欢解释?前几天有个姐妹生病,我在服侍她的时候,她里面的鬼就欺骗她,她就在那讲了一大堆的理由,解释这个、解释那个。她的解释都是很有意思的,比如说,我的原生家庭就是这样,所以我就是这样的啊。那我生下来就是这样,那就是不能改啊。其实这就是谎言,人到底在解释啥呢? 直到今天的基督教,包括这些灵恩教会在里面,都有这样很多的谎言。这些谎言就是解释,解释啥呢?家族背后的咒诅,解释这是原生家庭,你生来就是这样,所以就是这样。解释完了干啥呢?解释完了难受啊。有的人就觉得:你看我家就是这样的,我身上就有癌症的性格,我好难受啊。其实这些都是在瞎扯。有的人就说这是基因什么一大堆的。全是谎言!只有一件事是对的,就是今天我要选择做一个有性格的人。 神已经预定我得胜,在我里头有可夸的盼望,只要我坚持到底就是神的家,就可以看见神的荣耀,可以进神的殿。所以人被罪迷惑就心里刚硬,一直在那解释。后来我们这个姐妹反应过来以后,她说:老师,原来解释是个鬼啊。后来她跟我说,她经常一遇事就说我不要,这些都是魔鬼的谎言。其实你要还是不要,这事儿不重要,重要的是自己到底要做一个什么样的人。

我要做一个充满神荣耀的人,因为神造我就是这样的。这样活着就不累了,也不觉着辛苦了,因为耶和华的山是容易登的。如果不容易登,那是你用错了方法。你要拿着圣灵的宝剑,圣灵不在乎你把宝剑当作一根棍儿似得,你就把宝剑当作拐棍儿来支撑着自己。有些地方滑的时候,圣灵的宝剑往里一插,紧紧地抓住撑上去。神是你的帮助,神要你得救,神要你得胜,不要再不信了。 神要把我们带到应许之地,神巴不得让我们看见祂的荣耀,神巴不得让我们能够进到祂的殿中,瞻仰祂的荣美。所以别再解释了,我的性格就是这样,什么都不重要,重要的就是神要拯救我,这是何等美好的恩典!魔鬼释放了诸多的谎言,那都是没有用的。有人新冠后还得养着,一养就养半年,半年以后,这个新冠的后遗症还在,那就是个谎言。 有一些弟兄姐妹生病了以后,我就带着他们干活,很快就恢复了,整个人都充满了力量,一下子就恢复了。大家不要再相信谎言了,人就是因为相信了谎言那套解释的东西,结果使人心里刚硬,掉到谎言的这种败亡当中。

**这样看来,他们不能进入安息是因为不信的缘故了。(《希伯来书》3:19)** 《圣经》里说得很好,这样看来他们不能进入安息是因为不信的缘故了。其实坚持是很容易的,因为使徒保罗的路就是比较容易的。耶稣的轭是轻省的,世上的轭是沉重的,所以从今以后相信神,立定心志,带着这可夸的盼望向前奔跑!末了我们必见神的荣面,必成为忠心的门徒,在神的家中尽忠,阿们! 神必成就祂的救恩,我们的拯救就是神成就的,我们只有相信的份儿。人只要一相信就有了盼望,一有了盼望就有了坚持,有了坚持就弃绝了魔鬼的谎言,这就是神的恩典!神的恩典就是海,是我们完全没有办法能够想象的,那是何等浩瀚的恩典,要降在我们的身上,阿们。 愿神祝福大家!
