Introduction

Good morning, everyone. Today, I will once again share a particularly good topic with you. Many people think that building God's glorious church has nothing to do with them, but in fact, it has a great deal to do with them. This topic is called That God may be glorified in the church and in Jesus Christ. This is the ninth and final lecture of Building a Glorious Church.

While preparing this sermon, I searched online and listened to one after another, but none of them seemed to explain it clearly. Later, I found one that I had preached four years ago. I listened to myself first and then continued to prepare this topic. But four years ago, I missed a word in that topic. What was it? That God may be glorified in the church. In fact, the original text of Ephesians in the Bible says, in the church and in Jesus Christ be glory, and there is a crucial word here: in Jesus Christ.

Today, we will have a deeper understanding of the glory of God and the building of God's glorious church. You know, Nadab and Abihu built the tabernacle full of God's glory, but they were burned to death by the fire from God. The temple of God became a temple for burning people to death. What do you think? It doesn't seem very good. But thank God, it says in the Bible that this is how God is glorified among the people.

After Nadab and Abihu died, Moses said, Aaron, your two sons are dead, you are not allowed to weep, that is the glory of God. Do you understand? I think Lazarus rising from the dead is the glory of God; the blind seeing is the glory of God; the lame walking is the glory of God. Originally, the glory of God is the aroma of Jesus Christ, which can cause death and also bring life. So, we have the glory of Jesus Christ, the glory of God, which can cause death and also bring life.

This sounds a bit strange, but that is the glory of God. The church is a confusing word, and even today, the things that happen in the church are very confusing. Chinese Mingding Destiny is to solve many confusions in the practice of these theologies.

Now I will publish another paper, which is To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus. These are two conditions, and neither is indispensable. In the church and in Jesus Christ. This is very interesting. Some are in the church, but this church is not in Jesus Christ, which does not count. Some are in Jesus Christ, but not in the church, and it seems that they cannot receive glory either. It is in the church and in Jesus Christ.

If it is in the church and also in Jesus Christ, the power of God is there. If you offer strange fire according to your own intentions, you will become Nadab and Abihu. Always remember that God does not dwell in temples made with human hands. God does not dwell in temples made with human hands! If the church is built according to human ideas, then it is not a real church. As far as I can see, this situation is very common. What exactly is the church doing? They do not do the things that Jesus did, but they do a lot of things that Jesus did not do, which is a very serious problem.

Think about it, God does not dwell in temples made with human hands, and the church built according to His will is the real church. If the church that is built has no resemblance to Jesus Christ, then it is not in Jesus Christ at all, but outside of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is gentle and humble, and if you are not in Jesus Christ, you will not have this gentleness and humility.

You must know exactly how Jesus acted, and Jesus acted as God commanded Him. Moses was also like this, and he acted as God commanded Moses. So, what they did was for the glory of God. Why did Jesus act as God told Him? Because Jesus was gentle and humble in heart and had no ideas of His own.

Have you all noticed that it is very hateful for people to have their own ideas? I often hear people say, Teacher, I have done everything according to what you did, and I have learned from you. When I look at what they do, I find that it is not what I taught at all. I have never done it like that. I think, what kind of brain is this? They are clearly not doing it the way I do it, but they claim to have learned from me.

I think this is a bit rigid, and it is not gentle or humble at all. What is humility? He would say, Teacher, I want to do it the way you do it. Is this how you do it? Instead of saying, I did everything according to what you did. If you really did it the way I do it, where is the gentleness and humility of Jesus Christ that you are showing? Four years ago, I talked about receiving glory in the church. Now I want to tell you that that was an old version. The new version is To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus.

Some people say, Teacher, did you say it wrong last time? Of course, I did. The height was too low at that time. So today, we should all soften our hearts. A rigid attitude in people's hearts is quite common. Once a person is convinced of what he is convinced of, you cannot be gentle or humble. People must humble themselves and reflect: Am I doing it right? Thank God, I think why God uses me is because I am not rigid in my heart.

Do you often hear me say this: Is this right? This is not right. I feel like I don't understand many things well enough. I am not like some people who insist: If you don't do it this way, how else can you do it? I think, are you the standard of the world? If you are the standard of the world, then you are not the standard of Jesus Christ, and you are far from the standard of Jesus Christ.

So, in the end, you cannot see the presence of God, but only the presence of demons. You cannot see the power of God, but you can see the power of people. You cannot see the name of Jesus Christ, but you see people proclaiming their own names.

Today, we must be gentle and humble and tremble at the word of God. I will connect these basic elements of building God's glorious church. People must tremble at the word of God, be cautious, and constantly seek and enter into Jesus Christ. God sits on His throne and looks down to see if there are any who seek Him. God is very moved by those who do not seek Him. What does the Bible say? Those who do not seek Him, who do not understand, become useless together.

Some brothers and sisters live in their church, and I ask: Why do you live in your church? He said: I am poor, I am very poor, so I live in the church. I said: Then you can go out and find a job, earn some money to support yourself, and rent a house, can't you? He said: I am blacklisted. In Singapore and Malaysia, it is called being penniless, and in China, it is called being blacklisted. This church supports a group of blacklisted people, which is very interesting. They believe in the Lord to the point of being penniless, and they believe in the Lord to the point of being a deadbeat. I don't understand.

There has never been anyone in the Bible who lived in the temple because they were penniless. Is that a church? If it is really God's church, would it be like that? Such a church is made with human hands, and God does not dwell in it.

Many years ago, I suddenly received a call from Australia. A brother in Australia called me and said: Pastor, I need you to pray for my wife. I asked him what happened? He said that his wife had brain cancer and the doctors had given up. I thought: My God, the doctors have given up, and you only think of looking for me now. You are really making things difficult for me.

In Australia, there is a place called a hospice center, do you know? A hospice center is where a person is about to die, the doctors have given up treatment, and they are sent to the hospice center. This brother thought of me. I said: Okay, then I will pray with your wife. Believe it or not, it was quite miraculous. After praying, she actually got better.

At that time, she couldn't even get out of bed, and her condition was very serious. After she got better, the doctors were shocked and asked how she got better. She said: A pastor from Singapore prayed for me, and I got better. The doctor said: Can I come and see him when he takes you to pray again? He called me, and I said: Yes, you can see the glory of God as you like.

After she got better, I said: You have to follow me and believe in the Lord properly. He said: That won't work. I said: Why won't it work? He said: I still have to stay in our church. I said: Why do you want to stay in your church? He said: Our church is very loving. I said: They loved you so much that you got brain cancer, and they are still loving? He said: You don't know, they cooked soup for my wife every day while she had cancer.

They cook soup every day, they must be Cantonese. I said: They are still cooking even when you are about to go to the hospice center. I really feel that this is a church that cooks soup. Is that a church? Making buns is called Ding Tai Fung, cooking soup is called Lao Huo Tang, introducing people is called a marriage agency, is that what the church is for?

I feel that people are so stupid. Then I have to interfere, and I call him from time to time to chat. As a result, his wife is having a good time playing. Looking at the photos he posted on Moments, it is really a cancer patient in a sea of flowers. I said: Play, play to death.

Three months later, he called me again. I said: What's wrong? It turned out that the brain cancer suddenly broke out and she died. The demon didn't leave, it was just a final glow, which lasted for three months. I feel that how many people will be ruined by a church that only knows how to cook soup.

Some time ago, a friend of mine died of cancer, and I went to see him in the hospital before he died. I said: Come to me. He thought I needed him very much. I said: Come to me, and I will pray for you and receive a new theological system called Chinese Mingding Destiny.

After coming for a while, he said: I don't want to, I still have to stay in our church. I said: You got cancer in that church, it's a cancer church, and you still want to stay there? He said: I want to stay there. I said: What are you doing there? He said: I want to be a watchman in this church. There really is a church called a watchman church, and the whole church is watching.

I said: Then how do you watch? He replied: The pastor is wrong, I have to tell him. Oh, it turns out to be a challenger, is that a watchman? That is a nitpicker. He is a watchman, and he watched himself to death. After the pastor finished preaching, he rushed up and said: Pastor, you didn't preach correctly today. As a result, he got cancer and died.

So what does this watchman do? He picks on faults. One day, his wife got a fish bone stuck in her throat, and I had just recovered from COVID-19 and was still swaying when I walked. But that day my mental state was not bad. I said: What are you busy with? It turned out that he was busy taking the fish bone out of his wife's mouth. He made a hook out of wire and hooked it out. That was not fishing, it was fishing for people. The iron hook went straight into the throat.

This incident made me feel proud. I just prayed for her, and the fish bone in her throat disappeared. I thought I had done a great thing. I thought he would follow me and believe in the Lord properly. However, he chose to return to his church. I am not willing to pull people from other churches. It is their choice where they want to go. I hope he will not get stuck with fish bones again in the future.

What I want to say is that these are all things that happen in the church. Two years ago, the pastor of the church got brain cancer. I know his theological theory very well, and it is really not good. Some people will say: You are the only one who is good, I am not good, God is good! I tremble at the word of God.

Building a church is not a joke. If you build a church without the presence of God, there will be demons present. This cannot be taken lightly. So I encourage everyone that if Christians do not have the presence of God, there will definitely be demons present. This is definitely not a joke.

Therefore, our brothers and sisters should read the Bible carefully. The scripture we are quoting today is in Ephesians. I will preach Ephesians again in the future because I feel that I have grown and need an upgraded version of Ephesians. Ephesians is a classic for building God's glorious church, but it is written too concisely.

Scripture

Now let's read today's scripture, which is in Ephesians chapter 3, verses 14 to 20.

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3:14-20)

Prayer

God, today we come before you with a gentle heart, so that we can truly understand how wide and long and high and deep your love is. Let us understand the great power that works in our hearts, that can accomplish everything abundantly, and let us know that what you have accomplished for us is beyond all that we ask or imagine.

God, today let us turn back to you. Let us turn from the love of money and learn to love you, learn to seek your glory, and seek your word. God, let your strength be our strength. Let our strength be strengthened by your Holy Spirit, so that we can be vessels to manifest your glory in this world.

God, let us understand what the church is, let us understand what it means to be in Jesus Christ, and let us be more eager for your glory, knowing that your glory is the key to solving all our problems. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Scripture Background

Ephesians is an extremely important book. If you have read it, you may have the feeling that you know every word, but you don't quite understand the overall meaning. Today we read Ephesians again and find that this book puts forward several basic concepts that must be mastered when studying. If you can understand these concepts thoroughly, then you are very powerful.

To go further, you need to study the relationship between concepts. Then, when you are a little more powerful, you will organize these concepts and their relationships for practical application. Once applied, you will find that the effect is very good.

Ephesians talks about several concepts. First, it talks about God's plan and God's mystery. So, how did Paul know? He discovered it in the process of building the church, because those who build the church will definitely receive revelation, revelation on how to build the church, and then he understood the mystery of Jesus Christ.

If you are a church builder, you will also receive revelation. This kind of revelation is very important. For those who work in the field of scientific research, I want to tell you that you need to maintain reverence for the word of God, and then gradually become a small pastor who builds the church. Starting from a small pastor, you will find that your scientific research will make rapid progress, and I am not exaggerating at all.

If a person has the heart to build a church, he knows the mystery of God, knows God's plan, and knows how God arranges things. This is the first concept, which is God's plan. So Paul deeply understood God's plan and God's mystery. Because God saw that he was a church builder, He revealed it to him, so Paul's life was very exciting. This is the first concept.

The second concept is the church. The church had a good definition in the time of Jesus Christ, but later people stole the concept of the church and replaced Christ with a raccoon cat. The raccoon cat replaced the prince, so the church became the raccoon cat's church. The concept of the church and the concept of Christ are the two most important concepts in the Christian faith.

What is the relationship between Christ and the church? It is a relationship of love. Christ is the head of the church, and the church is the body of Christ. Later, Paul used the relationship between husband and wife as a metaphor, but many people misinterpreted it. They thought that Paul was talking about their little family affairs, that my husband is my head and I am my husband's body. In fact, Ephesians doesn't care much about your family affairs at all.

What Paul said was that the church is the body of Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is the head of the church; the church is the bride of Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is the husband of the church. That's the relationship. If you don't believe it, you can read the Bible carefully. Paul was not referring to your family affairs, but to Christ and the church. So the first concept is God's plan, the second concept is the church, and the third concept is Christ. Christ and the church are the most important concepts.

Finally, what is God's plan? It is to realize the complete unity of the church and Christ, so that all things may be united in Jesus Christ. We must understand this matter, understand the church and Christ, Christ and the church. The concept of the church must be thoroughly understood.

Let's review it: The first concept is God's plan. God's plan is the complete unity of the church and Christ. The second concept is the church. The third concept is Christ. The church and Christ are a unified relationship, and then there will be great power and the presence of the Holy Spirit.

So, in the church, if you cannot see the power of God, people will get cancer and depression, and then they can only visit and do nothing else. That is not a church. The church must use the power of God to set the captives free and the oppressed free. Think about how powerful such a church is. Christ is in heaven, and the church is on earth. What do Christ and the church do together? They let the power of God's Holy Spirit work and accomplish everything.

The first concept is God's plan, the second concept is the church, and the third concept is Christ. Then there is the Holy Spirit and great power, which is the fourth concept. Then the fifth concept is faith, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. If you believe in the hospital, then the hospital will dwell in your heart; if you believe in your husband, your husband will dwell in your heart; if you believe in your business, your business will dwell in your heart. What you believe in will dwell in your heart.

Because of faith in Jesus Christ, believing in God's plan, we become builders of the church and establish a special relationship with Christ. In this process, God's power and the power of the Holy Spirit are manifested among us. Then, Christ dwells in us through our faith and lets our love take root and be grounded.

The fourth concept we discussed is the power of the Holy Spirit, the fifth concept is faith, and the sixth concept is love. When we have these elements, God fills us and lets us understand how wide and long and high and deep the love of Christ is. And through the church, let all the rulers and authorities know the manifold wisdom of God. Paul wrote too concisely. This is actually a summary of his practice in building the church.

If you do not participate in building the church, you may think that these words are just simple repetitions. However, with the practice of building the church, we gradually deepen our understanding of the concept of the church, the concept of Christ, and the basic work of the church, and we also begin to understand the true meaning of faith and love.

The word love is often confusing. Many people mistakenly think that boiling soup for someone with brain cancer is an act of love. That's not love; that's the act of boiling soup. Therefore, this theory is understood step by step in the process of building the church. Chinese Mingding Destiny can be seen as a summary of the practice of building the church.

In the past few years, because I have talked a lot about the concept of the church, some people have asked me, Teacher, I know a preacher who preaches the gospel but does not shepherd. I said, That's bad. Only preaching the gospel without shepherding is like a philanderer. When this preacher prayed for this sister, he would tremble all over and even prophesy. The sister asked, Teacher, if this preacher does not have the Spirit of God, how could these phenomena occur? Oh my goodness, what spirit is behind him? How would I know?

But I know that God's will is to build the church and that God's heart is to shepherd His flock. If you preach the gospel and let them fend for themselves, won't they attract demons? Of course, they will. Preaching the gospel without shepherding or building the church, just being a freelance preacher, is not in accordance with the 《Holy Bible》. As for me, I do as God says. We do what God's heart desires, not according to my own will.

Why don't people build churches? Because shepherding and building churches are very hard work. Why do people only preach the gospel but not shepherd? Because preaching the gospel is like giving birth to a child. Wouldn't it be much easier to let someone else raise it? Raising a child requires great effort and hardship; it is not an easy thing. Everyone must understand that if you only preach the gospel but do not shepherd, this behavior is like giving birth to a child but not raising it. What would you call that? That's called spiritual adultery.

The Corinthian church is an example. Paul provided pastoral teachings to them in 《1 Corinthians》 and 《2 Corinthians》. However, some people deviated from Jesus Christ and went wandering outside of Jesus Christ. They were nominally in the church but not in Jesus Christ. Someone said, Doesn't the 《Holy Bible》 say that someone sows seeds? Well, when a farmer sows seeds, does he just ignore them after sowing?

The church must know God's will. Like the brother I mentioned, he died of cancer, and he was also in the church. In my opinion, that's not a church. Even if it's in the church, it's not in Jesus Christ. They've all gone wandering outside of Jesus Christ. Can such a church receive glory? No. Even if it is a church and it is in Jesus Christ, if he does something that is offering strange fire, then he is also courting death.

Because of the chaos in the church, Paul wrote 《Ephesians》. Building the church is a systematic project, absolutely not a solo act, not playing your own game where no one can control you. Building the church is a systematic project.

The Church Is God's Wisdom

The church is God's plan and God's wisdom.

To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord (Ephesians 3:10-11).

If you fight alone, no one can overcome the devil. But building the church, the church can tread all things under its feet according to 《Ephesians》. If you don't build the church, you can't achieve this goal. Although building the church is full of difficulties, the church that is built transcends everything. Why? Because the church is one with Jesus Christ.

So the church is God's temple, the body of Jesus Christ, the bride of Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is the head of the church. Although Jesus Christ is in heaven and we are on earth, it is a complete and unified entity. The church is executing God's commands and completing God's plans on earth. The church is God's wisdom.

However, the most important thing in building the church is unity. In the process of building the church, you will see the filth in people's hearts. Why is the church full of strife? Because they are all carnal people. Carnal people cannot be united in the church. If they cannot be united, they are easily tormented by the devil. Therefore, the Corinthian church became like this, and many people died as a result. The most important thing in building the church is unity. How to achieve unity? You must deal with the flesh in order to achieve unity.

Think about it, if a husband and wife each only love themselves, can two extremely selfish people be united? Even if they lie in the same bed, children can see that they are sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams. I never mediate in marital relationships because two carnal people cannot be united. When they become spiritual and have a destiny, they will be united. Dealing with the flesh is the key to unity. Someone said, Teacher, what should I do if my husband doesn't believe in the Lord? If they don't believe, they cannot be unequally yoked, which means you don't have to care too much about it.

The most important work of the church is to build and deal with the flesh, so that everyone in Jesus Christ has the same mind, the same vision, the same destiny, so that the church can transcend everything. You will find that the principalities and powers in heavenly places come to know the manifold wisdom of God. Although people cannot overcome the devil, if people can build the church and be united with Jesus Christ, they will surely overcome the devil.

I thank God that the road to building the church in the past was too hard. Why? Because we were not victorious. But later, step by step, we finally achieved victory. Among the principalities and powers in heavenly places, there is a worldly force — Old Ma. This thing is carnal and worldly, and it eventually submitted and was pressed down.

If the church is truly built according to God's word, then the principalities and powers in heavenly places will all know the manifold wisdom of God, knowing that God's plan is for the church to overcome the devil and the enemy. If you overcome the devil and the enemy, the church will not be poor, the church will definitely be very united, very powerful, and the church can even make ghosts grind, not that money can make ghosts grind, but that having God, through building God's glorious church, can make ghosts grind for us.

Sometimes, the Old Ma would speak, saying, Oh, I have to send you money. So today, if our brothers and sisters are blessed financially, it is because the church is God's church. It is not built by us, but God builds it through us. We are working with God, and God's manifold wisdom is here. So, to see what kind of person someone really is, if he is a treasure in God's eyes, he will definitely build God's glorious church.

In the process of building the church, the most important thing is to deal with myself. Do you think I am clean inside? I am a sinner just like you. The church is truly God's wisdom. As long as you participate in building the church, you will find that you need to constantly know God, constantly grow, constantly become holy, constantly deal with the flesh, constantly become smart, more and more shrewd, and more and more like Jesus Christ.

You will constantly offer yourself until you completely offer yourself like Jesus. How can you not be in Jesus Christ then? So today I have to tell you how good it is to build the church. If a person has the opportunity to build the church in their lifetime but misses it, it is a tragedy. Building the church truly molds people.

Building the church seems to be doing it for others, but in the end, it trains ourselves. You build the church and train yourself, I build the church and train myself, and we begin to know how long, wide, high, and deep is the love of Jesus Christ. I see that some people really don't deserve God's grace, yet God gives them grace anyway.

Through God's Spirit, Strengthen the Power Within Us

In the process of building the church, the most important thing is our inner strength. People often have a inexplicable sense of frustration and darkness inside. No matter who you are, as long as you are alive, there is often a feeling of discomfort inside, which you can't explain, but it is always bleak. How to solve this darkness? This feeling is not unique to you; everyone alive in the world has it. People who are dead no longer need it, because the problem has already been solved.

But when people are alive, they often find that their inner strength is not enough. God's plan is to build God's glorious church, which requires the Spirit of God. Why does the Spirit of God strengthen your inner strength? Because you are the one chosen to build God's glorious church. God knew before the creation of the world that there would be someone like you, that His Spirit would fill you, that He would empower you, that He would use you, work with you, and build His glorious church.

What if He didn't choose me before the creation of the world? We can also choose to believe and be strengthened in our inner being through the Spirit of God. Then you will find that being filled with the Spirit of God will enable us to enter into God's plan. If you lack strength inside, it is because you love the world, love your business, love your own small family, and want to live a small life. The Spirit of God will leave. If you rely on your own strength, how long can you last? This is the wisdom and glory of God, that God may be glorified in the church and in Jesus Christ. What glory? Glory is power, glory is strength, which makes the power within us strong again.

When you are determined to build God's glorious church, when you are willing to offer yourself, you will enter into God's heart, and the Spirit of God will be abundantly added to you, and you will receive more power. That feeling is really good! Although it is hard to describe, it is sweet, and people live with great energy.

That Christ May Dwell in Our Hearts Through Faith

The most important thing for people is faith. Once you believe, Christ dwells in your heart; if you don't believe, Christ cannot dwell in your heart. Faith is crucial. Someone said, Teacher, I can't do anything right. That's not faith. Someone said, Teacher, why do I feel like I can't do anything when I do things? I would tell him, You were never any good to begin with. You used to think you were great, but that was fake. Now you think you're stupid, but you've never been smart.

So I tell you, faith can create the future! It's not about creating the future with your ability, but relying on God's ability, relying on faith. Jesus Christ dwells in our hearts because of our faith. Because of our faith, God gives you a bright future.

What does Christ do when He dwells in you? Christ dwells in you so that God may be glorified in the church and in Jesus Christ! When you pray for a sick person, the sick person gets well, God is glorified, and people see it and know that it works. Because you have faith inside, you cannot but manifest the power of God; because you have faith inside, Jesus Christ dwells in you, and your words convey faith.

And after conveying faith, you will say like me, building the church is really good! It's really good that the Spirit of God dwells in us! Faith is really good! It's really good that Christ dwells in us! Christ dwells in our hearts, and the word of God is in us, so that our love may be rooted and grounded. What about making soup for a brain cancer patient? It's pretty good. I also like to drink soup. Cantonese soup is still very good. But the foundation is still in the soup ingredients. Cantonese soup ingredients are very good; that's the foundation. How can you make soup without soup ingredients?

That Our Love May Be Rooted and Grounded

If our love is to be rooted and grounded, that foundation is in Jesus Christ, and that foundation is God's love. How can God's love lead people to the hospice center? I am very surprised, because in reality, there is a lot of love without foundation.

Some time ago, a pastor couple met me and held my hand and cried. I asked them why they were crying, and they said, It's not easy to build a church. I asked them how they built the church, and they said that they did it by making dumplings for the brothers and sisters in the church, with the foundation in the dumpling filling. I said, Then what are you crying about? Just eat the dumplings.

They said that one of the sisters in the church said hurtful things and that the church was already very poor, but that sister still wanted dumplings with abalone filling and complained that there was no abalone filling. I thought to myself, Your church is really interesting. Is that called love? This kind of love has no foundation because it is not in Jesus Christ, just a bunch of people eating dumplings.

Another person talked about their church. I asked, How many people are in the church? He said, There are quite a few people. I said, That's good. Then I said, How many people tithe? He said, Only two. The people who usually attend gatherings are ten. I said, Then when do the rest of the people come? He said, They all come during the New Year to make dumplings. They all come to eat, and they still think this is called love.

So, to let our love be rooted and grounded is to let Christ dwell in our hearts because we believe in the word of Christ. Trembling because of God's word, building God's glorious church, the church is God's wisdom. Then God will, through His Spirit, enable us to gain power to build His glorious church and let our love be established on the foundation of Jesus Christ. Many churches operate strangely, with time to make dumplings but no time to heal the sick. What would happen if sick people came to Jesus? He would definitely heal them.

Once I was ministering to a group of people with several pastors, and one of them was heavily possessed by demons. That pastor prayed, In the name of Jesus, I command the demons to leave! Then he said to me, This person is for you to minister to. I joked, You've given me the hard thing to do. Where's that dumpling-making energy? You've made so many dumplings, crying so many tears for the dumplings, why don't you cry for this person who is oppressed by demons? This person has been so miserably possessed by demons for so many years, what have you done?

I said these words not to find fault, but because my heart was filled with the same sorrow as God. If you have the skill of making dumplings, do you have the skill to get rid of depression? Today, those of you who are listening, including those on YouTube, if you have depression, your depression is my depression, and your depression is also the depression of our church pastors. I must drag you out of this because it is too painful.

Later, I cast the demon of depression out of that person. The process was really tiring and took a lot of time. As a result, in the following days, whenever I shared, that person with depression would sit in the front row. After he got better, he loved listening to me share.

That our love may be rooted and grounded means that those who are captives may be released and those who are oppressed may be set free. This is our church's mission and the most basic work of the church.

Understand How Long, Wide, High, and Deep Is the Love of Christ

Brothers and sisters, rest assured, because our God is not stingy. When you are sick, come seek Him, and He will heal you. Because the church is the body of Jesus Christ, you can be healed here. If the church is not the church, but just a marriage agency, then it loses its true meaning. If you build the church, you shepherd people, and you see those who are captives and those who are oppressed, your heart will weep for them. That is the love of God, and the love of God is always in us.

Later I learned that your pain is not transferred to me, but transferred to Jesus. God, through the wounds of Jesus Christ, exchanged your healing. How long, wide, high, and deep is the love of Jesus Christ! All who come seek Him, are healed. Everyone can read the 《Holy Bible》, to see all who came to seek God, are got healing.

I know that God's love is so long, wide, high, and deep. There are many ungrateful people who abandon God after getting God's healing! But God does not care. I have witnessed many such cases, and I am filled with emotion. Before I have done anything for God, God has prepared abundant grace for me. God does not care about my faults, covered my transgressions with the precious blood of Jesus, healed my diseases with the wounds of Jesus, and bore my curses. God has done this, do you still not believe?

Among us, all who have received grace from God, I urge you not to receive God's grace in vain, but to turn to God more. Can you understand how long, wide, high, and deep is the love of Christ? Because it is God's glory. God wants to be glorified in the church and in Jesus Christ. God is the God who gives, and God is definitely not a stingy God. God wants us to prosper, and God wants us to be healthy!

Can you understand how long, wide, high, and deep is the love of Christ? If you understand, then you believe. Your faith is like a mustard seed, plant it, and there will be one hundred mustard seeds. One hundred becomes ten thousand. Plant a mustard seed and it will grow into a towering tree. But some people still don't believe. Our faith goes from one point to two points, and two points to four points.

God is Able to Do Exceedingly Abundantly Above All That We Ask or Think, According to the Power That Works in Us

If you believe, God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us! All, not a little. Just now, I was talking about a little faith, changing to two points, but what God accomplishes is all! God wants to be glorified in the church and in Jesus Christ. God wants to use His great power and might, through the church, to manifest His wisdom, manifest His power, to trample the principalities and powers in the air and the dark forces of these devils under the feet of the church. The power of Hades cannot overcome the church. This is what I have put into practice.

I have seen it with my own eyes and experienced it personally. Today, you no longer hear about God, but you begin to see God with your own eyes. I really want the church to climb a new peak! Know that what God has accomplished for us is beyond what we ask or think. I was thinking, God, may you manifest yourself more and let your glory be more manifest among us.

Seeking God's glory is not seeking money, not seeking a job, not seeking a business, not seeking to live a small life, but seeking to build God's glorious church. As a result, God, according to the power that works in our hearts, according to what we believe, according to what we know is how long, wide, high, and deep is the love of God, accomplishes all for us. So later, I found that all those who came among us were healed.

If only there were more people who regarded Jesus Christ and the church as their own Mingding Destiny. People all have their own agendas, their own pursuits, and that little bit of something they accomplish by their own strength. You must know that God accomplishes all according to the power that works in our hearts. God does it for the sake of the church. Because the church is the body of Jesus Christ, the church is an organization on earth that carries out God's will, using the authority God has given us, and can manifest God's glory on earth.

How can God not gain glory? Paul established church after church, and those businesses that were about to go bankrupt were revived, those with cancer who were about to die recovered, and those whose minds were full of garbage had the garbage in their minds removed, and people began to become joyful and healthy. The church is the place on earth where God's authority is exercised. God's glory exceeds what we ask or think.

Such a wonderful choice depends on your destiny. If you are willing to share the same vision, the same mission, and the same pursuit with me, then I will tell you that you will surely see God's glory, and God will be glorified in His church and in Jesus Christ.

Amen! May God bless you all!
