Introduction

Brothers and sisters, for the past few weeks, we have been discussing the Book of Lamentations. The name "Lamentations" is quite fitting. What does it mean? For example, when someone passes away, a dirge is played. Upon hearing it, you immediately know that someone has died. So, what does singing a lament mean? It means it's too tragic, a song of sorrow. The Book of Lamentations was sung and written for the Israelites.

Later, generations of Israelites would sing the Book of Lamentations during festivals. Recently, we have examined Chapters 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the Book of Lamentations. Now, we are at the final chapter, Chapter 5. What is the main theme that Jeremiah wants to convey? It is to avoid ending up in a lament. Think about the Book of Lamentations; it is to prevent people from reaching that point.

I have pondered over Chapter 5 of the Book of Lamentations for a long time. What is the theme? After much consideration, Jeremiah wants to say, do not wait until God's wrath is upon you to start praying to Him. I can tell you that ailments afflicting Christians are particularly difficult to deal with, especially those who have been believers for many years. What do they discover after many years of believing? That prayer is ineffective, which is very tragic, isn't it? In the Book of Lamentations, the city of Zion, Jerusalem, the people there prayed desperately to God, but to no avail.

The Babylonian soldiers surrounded the city layer upon layer. Inside, there were prophets, pastors, and ordinary people gathering and praying fervently. Today, the church is also a group of people praying desperately, but it is ineffective. Then they conclude, if God does not listen to my prayers, should I still believe? Remember, God is a God who hears prayers.

So, the Israelites, facing God's silence, with the Babylonian soldiers breaching the city walls, the people, the prophets, and the kings were all extremely perplexed. They blamed everything but themselves for going wrong, and they were very confused. If you ask me what they were confused about, it's that all their shouting was in vain.

Under what circumstances was the Chinese Mingding Doctrine established? It was because people's prayers were ineffective. We are a research and training institution. What do we research? The Word of God. I tell you, the people of Israel were too stubborn. Even after Jerusalem was breached and many people died, they still did not know why.

Why was this happening? Why were prayers not being heard? Because God's wrath was upon them. What prayers would He listen to? Isn't that right? In fact, the Israelites faced prophets from Isaiah to Jeremiah, numerous prophets who constantly told them: what you are doing is wrong, what you are doing is wrong. But it was to no avail. Have you noticed? True prophets cannot overcome false prophets. False prophets speak more pleasantly than they sing, but true prophets sing more unpleasantly than they speak.

Why were they like this? Why did these Israelites not love God? Why did they not act according to God's Word? Because they felt that if they acted according to God's Word, how could they live their lives? Life would be impossible. Brothers and sisters, we must understand that it is a tragedy when God does not listen to prayers and people are still confused.

Even today, there are many online discussions about whether you would still believe if God did not listen to your prayers. If God does not heal you, would you still believe? If God does not heal you, how would you receive comfort from God? It's all these things, and I am particularly moved.

So, I hope that we, brothers and sisters, can gradually and systematically sort these things out. Last night, I ministered to a sister. Why did I minister to her? Because my small group leader had been ministering to her for quite some time, but she was still afraid every night before sleeping. I thought, how could she still be afraid after so long? So, I decided to check on her.

What did I do? I said, let's open this group, you join this group, and you just wait there. If you are afraid, just shout, and I will be here to watch over you. Then I started doing my work. As a result, she slept very well all night without fear, completely without fear. Why? Because fear is a demon.

Then this sister told me about her childhood experiences. There were many spiritual things in her family. Her mother told her ghost stories when she was young. She said her mother often experienced ghosts grabbing her legs and touching her body at night. Even now, at over ninety years old, she keeps a stick on her bed. When a ghost touches her leg, she uses the stick to push it away, but we cannot see it. Although her mother's eyes are blind and her ears do not hear well, her mouth is still functional. She often talks to ghosts and the deceased.

Did the local church minister to them? Yes, but it did not solve the problem. They ministered to her mother and to her, but it just didn't solve the problem. So, this sister searched everywhere online and encountered our Chinese Mingding Doctrine. I tell you, she has already improved a lot by following the Chinese Mingding Doctrine's whirlwind prayer.

She went to the local church. Her friend preached the gospel to her and to her husband. Later, her husband died in a car accident, so they preached the gospel to her again. She went to the church, and then she experienced sleep paralysis when she returned home. So, she really wanted to understand this matter. This sister has good comprehension and really wanted to understand this matter. So, she searched and searched and found the Chinese Mingding Doctrine. Then she followed us to study, and her comprehension became better and better. Because I said that fear is a matter of comprehension. Oh, she has already improved a lot, and the sleep paralysis is gone.

What else? She is still afraid before going to bed, afraid of sleeping alone at home. I tell you, her mother is also afraid. Imagine her mother keeping a stick on her bed, often pushing at her legs to push the ghosts away. How scary is that! So, I arranged for ministry, ministering to her mother and to her. I ministered for a while last night, and we will continue today. This is a work of casting out demons.

Isn't it strange that the church does not cast out demons? The church does not cast out demons and still thinks it is orthodox. Strange, isn't it? Her local church said that her mother really needed the local church to minister to her, but they did not go. Why? Because you are not coming to us anymore, you are going to the Chinese Mingding Doctrine, why should I minister to your mother? That's too petty, isn't it?

She herself is also confused. Why is the church like this? But she has a little bit of cleverness, feeling that the things taught by the Chinese Mingding Doctrine can still be explained. So, I took the opportunity to tell her a few more ghost stories. I said, do you want to hear them? She said, yes. I said, will it scare you? She said, it won't scare me.

Many years ago, you know, I ministered to a story from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. This brother, at two o'clock at night, as soon as he went to bed, a particularly beautiful female ghost would come and lie in bed with him. It happened every day, how scary! So, he didn't sleep at night and only slept when it was dawn.

It had been like this for a while before I met him. Then, he prayed with me, and the ghost was cast out. After a while, oh, this person was quite interesting. He missed the ghost again. He wanted to bring the ghost back.

Then I tell you, if he did this, could he have energy during the day? It was impossible to have energy. He said to me, Pastor Liu, when I tell my story to others, they all think I'm talking nonsense, they think I'm mentally ill. But it's not, it's true.

If you come to the Chinese Mingding Doctrine, the first class you take is the first lesson of the 101 course—the spiritual realm, which is all about the spiritual realm. It's all ghosts, but people don't know it. How did the ghosts come about? I tell you, it is closely related to the love of money.

Last night, I was watching in the group, keeping watch, and another sister had a bowel obstruction. Oh, it was so painful, ovarian cancer plus bowel obstruction. I closed that group and entered this group. All night long, it was quite busy. I started ministering and eliminated the pain of the bowel obstruction, knocked it down. Then she went to sleep again. Why is it that Christians' cries to God in the church are all ineffective? It doesn't work. Why? Because the entire theological system and foundation are wrong.

The Book of Lamentations speaks of people living in God's wrath, where prayer is ineffective. The Chinese Mingding Doctrine emphasizes removing the lies within people. So, when I was leading this sister with the bowel obstruction in prayer, I removed the lies within her. Do you know what the lie was? It's not that our past years and days of ministry have been ineffective. They have been effective, but the devil often releases a lie: "Why isn't it better yet?" This is unbelief.

There was a pastor who had a tumor on his neck. From a young age, he had to have it cut off every few years. Every few years, when it grew bigger, he had to have it cut off. Then he preached a sermon: "God does not heal me, God does not listen to my prayers, but my faith has increased." Doesn't that sound a bit strange? I tell you, many times people don't know that they have done something wrong, and they still think that God doesn't listen to their prayers.

I challenge everyone, what does the Bible actually say? God is the God who heals us, isn't He? Those who came to Jesus, Jesus healed them and cast out demons, healing them. But what has the church turned it into? God, please heal me, please heal me. In fact, this is not believing that God will heal us. He has to ask God to heal us.

Do you understand? He feels that God doesn't listen, God won't heal him. This matter itself is wrong. So, people suffer a lot of sins, but there is no glory. In fact, these things are the result of doing things wrong. Don't think that just because someone is a famous pastor, they are doing things right. In fact, it is unbelief.

The Chinese Mingding Doctrine is not about asking God to heal us. We believe that by Jesus' stripes, we are healed. Jesus has already borne the stripes, and you will surely be healed. This is receiving. Then we take up the authority that God has given us and cast out the demons, but our hearts must turn back to God.

Some time ago, there was a church leader in the terminal stage of cancer. His niece brought him to us. Then, terminal stage of cancer. Do you know what was going on with him? He was a very active leader in the church. The small group leader who was ministering to him came to me. When I heard it, I said, oh no, we can't minister to him.

Do you know why? Why can't we minister to him? He firmly believed that cancer was a blessing in disguise and thought it was normal. Then he said, it's normal to have suffering in life, it's normal to have cancer in life. He rationalized it. Cancer was growing on his body, and our lamenting was of no use.

I think we need to make a summary. The corruption that this erroneous theological system has brought to the church is considerable. So, the church must be built according to God's Word. The church must inherit and imitate Jesus Christ. The Bible originally said so, didn't it? How Jesus did it, we do it. If Jesus didn't do it that way, we shouldn't do it that way.

The church has become a place ravaged by the devil. Don't you think it's confusing? And this kind of ravaging has no glory to speak of. Oh, my heart is still very painful, very painful. So, when I am discussing the Book of Lamentations, the pain in my heart when I am discussing the Book of Lamentations is really painful. I hope that more people can wake up and come out of this absurd theological system.

Building a church means building a church like Jesus Christ. How Jesus did it, we do it. Then the captives are set free, and those who are oppressed are set free. Isn't that normal? The church has stubbornly believed the powerful gospel of Jesus Christ as if it were Buddhism, merely discussing a principle, which is meaningless.

When I see these things, I feel that our opportunity has come. How big is this market, isn't it? This market is too big. May God raise up more brothers and sisters among us who can set the captives free and set the oppressed free.

Indeed, Lamentations is profoundly meaningful, not just for the Israelites of Jeremiah's time, but for Christians in our era. Therefore, brothers and sisters, we must understand that we should not wait until God unleashes His fury to remember to call upon Him. We must repeatedly ponder what has provoked God's anger. But do not be afraid, for God yearns for you to turn back to Him.

Scripture

Because of the desolate Mount Zion, with jackals prowling over it. You, O Lord, reign forever; your throne endures from generation to generation. Why do you always forget us? Why do you forsake us so long? Restore us to yourself, O Lord, that we may return; renew our days as of old— unless you have utterly rejected us and are angry with us beyond measure. (Lamentations 5:18-22)

Prayer

O God, open our minds today, so that after reading Lamentations, a heart of reverence for You may arise within us. O God, may we be careful to keep and follow Your word throughout our lives, and may we have a vigilant heart and a rigorous attitude, so that we may revere You and tremble at Your word. You say that You look favorably on those who tremble at Your word.

O God, we come before You with reverence, reading Lamentations, so that we may know how terrifying the disasters brought about by Your anger and Your fury are. O God, help us, help us to know You, to know that You are a jealous God, and to remove, little by little, those erroneous logical systems, erroneous theologies, and erroneous theological concepts within us, so that we may be filled with the knowledge of You in our understanding. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Scriptural Background

Jeremiah's life was a constant warning to the Israelites: do not continue down this path. Jeremiah's life was, in fact, very difficult. He suffered alongside the Israelites, not because of anything he himself had done, but because the entire nation of Israel had reached a state where God manifested His anger, and even Jeremiah himself suffered greatly.

This is not difficult to understand, because the Israelites had their own desires, and Jeremiah's words did not suit their tastes. There were many other court prophets in Jeremiah's time who specialized in saying what the emperor wanted to hear. Isn't that a disaster? They specialized in saying what the emperor and the king wanted to hear, and as a result, they invited this anger.

A person's life is very short, and once they fall into this state, some may be ruined for life, living in such a state, which is very tragic. And I tell you, Jeremiah was in this state when the city of Jerusalem was besieged and then broken through. The women of Zion were raped, and the virgins of the cities of Judah were defiled. The soldiers were bloodthirsty.

Oh, the misery! In the fifth chapter of Lamentations, Jeremiah describes the tragic state of these people. Their hearts were faint, their eyes grew dim, and they were confused. In extremely painful circumstances, people's minds do not function well; they are extremely confused. When God's wrath and fury came upon the Israelites, the people were in utter chaos.

The sisters with tumors whom I minister to have very confused minds, thinking about this and that, thinking about many things. Why? Because it is very difficult, isn't it? Very difficult! You try having a tumor and see what you think. Very difficult. Oh, I tell you, if a person lives in God's fury, it is extremely difficult!

What the people valued, God manifested His anger in that very area. The Israelites valued their real estate, the city of Jerusalem, and as a result, their real estate was given to foreigners. You value real estate, don't you? Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our homes to foreigners.

And you value eating and drinking, don't you? We must pay for the water we drink; our fuel wood is sold to us. Look at these people, how miserable! Those who pursue us are at our heels; we are weary, without rest. They surrendered to the Egyptians and Assyrians to get enough bread, but God's anger was manifested in not allowing them to be satisfied. So I tell you, not being able to eat enough, the feeling of hunger, with your stomach sticking to your back, is very uncomfortable! You see, we don't care much about eating and drinking, and we don't get very hungry.

Sometimes I often tell the brothers and sisters that I eat one meal a day, and sometimes I do eat some snacks, but it's not a big deal. I'm not so rigid; I really don't have that strong feeling of hunger. But for the Israelites, that feeling of hunger was extremely strong, just to get enough bread.

And because of the sword in the wilderness, we risk our lives to get food, and still eat. Young men carry millstones, and children stagger under loads of wood. It's all related to eating, all related to eating is Old Horse. Once people value eating, drinking, and living, it's all Old Horse. They cared so much about the virginity of women, and it's Old Horse. As a result, these virgins were defiled, and those women were also defiled.

Those leaders and soldiers they valued had their hands hung up. Can you imagine? Their hands tied and hung up, and the elders are gone from the city gate, and the young men have stopped their music. Those joys and pleasures they valued are now gone. They loved to dance, but now it has turned into mourning. This is what Jeremiah describes.

When people reach this state, their hearts are faint, and their eyes grow dim. Because of the desolate Mount Zion, with jackals prowling over it. What does this mean? It means that God's temple is desolate, and the spiritual state of God's people is desolate. So once the church becomes desolate, jackals come. What are jackals? They are evil spirits.

You, O Lord, reign forever; your throne endures from generation to generation. Why do you always forget us? Why do you forsake us so long? Restore us to yourself, O Lord, that we may return; renew our days as of old— unless you have utterly rejected us and are angry with us beyond measure. (Lamentations 5:19-22)

It sounds very chaotic. Later, when I read the English version, it meant the same thing. You can't understand it at all. I tell you, it's when people are in extreme pain. One moment: O God, You are from everlasting to everlasting, Your throne endures from generation to generation. Then back again: O God, why do You always forget us?

Those among us who have experienced extreme pain must know what this feels like. Why do you forsake us so long? Restore us to yourself, O Lord, that we may return; renew our days as of old. Then again: Unless you have utterly rejected us and are angry with us beyond measure, it's too difficult.

So I tell everyone, do not wait until this time to call out, because then it's over. What can you do then? I yearn for the brothers and sisters to be shocked after reading this. Jeremiah saw all those women in the city being raped. How do you feel? And good heavens, that little girl might still be in elementary school, and a group of Babylonian soldiers are doing that, causing wailing and screaming. How do you feel? Very desperate, very helpless.

Why do people have to enter this state? I don't understand, really don't understand. People are still happy and joyful every day before they reach this state, right? Singing karaoke, feeling comfortable and happy. Then they begin to think: God, give me a vigilant heart. A person's life is very short; do not let me encounter this period of time, or my life will be ruined in this period of time. Jeremiah was in such a state; the background of this passage is too difficult.

Brothers and sisters, if you have not yet contracted lupus, do not go in that direction. If you have not yet contracted ankylosing spondylitis, do not go in that direction. If you have not yet contracted cancer, do not go in that direction. Can we seek God continually while our bodies are still strong, before God becomes angry?

Why do we say to emulate Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? I ask you, did Abraham live in such a state? No, he did not. Did Abraham have this? No, he did not. Then why not emulate Abraham? If we had the faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that would be very good.

God Gives Constant Warnings Before Unleashing His Fury

God will never suddenly bring disaster upon you; there will always be constant warnings. Among them is Lamentations, which is a good warning when we read it carefully. Every sermon we preach on the Lord's Day is actually hoping that the brothers and sisters will not enter into God's fury, will not enter into God's fury.

You know that before God's fury comes, there will be constant warnings, but these constant warnings are ineffective. It's not that God suddenly erupts; God is acting according to the anger that people have been accumulating before Him, until God is enraged. I also tell everyone that I dare to offend anyone, but I dare not offend God. But some people are not like that; they dare not offend anyone but dare to offend God. I think they are more厉害 than me. They dare not offend anyone but dare to offend God. I admire them very much.

Do not wait until God is furious and then say, "Pastor Liu, pray for me." Although I am annoyed by this, I still hope that God will have grace and mercy and come among us to receive such grace. God warns again and again, but they still do not listen. When God's wrath and fury are poured out, remember, there is no chance, really no chance.

Even if someone like me personally ministers to them, what can be done? It is caused by God's anger, and then I bring them before God to pray. What is the use of praying?

There is a golden rule in Chinese Mingding Doctrine, which is that this is not right. What is right? When you have this mindset, it will be much better. What I have seen is that when you say something is wrong, they explain it this way and that way, why it is wrong, why they did wrong, why it is like this, with a lot of reasons.

For example, if Christians do not carefully keep and follow God's word, they explain it as a problem with their original family, this and that, a lot of explanations. What is the use of explaining that? What are you going to say after explaining it? So God gives constant warnings before unleashing His fury. For example, a small cold, a cough. People are too easily infected by the logical systems of the world in this world.

The Bible records the story of Balaam. This Balaam was going to make money, and God said, "Don't go." Balaam asked, "Can I go to make this money?" God said, "Don't go." "Can I go to make this money?" "Go, go, go." In the end, he died in the camp of Midian, killed by the Israelite soldiers. Why did people have to go there? Because of money. People die for wealth, and birds die for food.

Now, if you are living in a very sad state, I tell you, people's minds are no longer functioning well. After their minds are no longer functioning well, they will say, "O God, Your love endures forever. O God, why have You forgotten me? O God, please restore us as in ancient times. Oh, God, You have utterly rejected us." When God's fury comes, people's minds are completely dysfunctional.

You say, why was Jeremiah's mind not functioning well in the Book of Jeremiah? Although Jeremiah's mind was functioning well, he was also faint of heart and dim of eyes in the overall context of Israel. If the heart is faint, can one speak decent words? That is why I yearn for the brothers and sisters to know one thing: before our days of decline come, quickly revere your God and emulate Him.

What You Sow, You Reap

This is an immutable law: what you sow, you reap. In spring, you till the soil, sweat profusely, and every grain is hard-earned. After sowing, when it's time for the harvest, if you planted melon seeds, why does a bitter gourd sprout? Can you expect sweet melons from bitter gourd seeds? Let me tell you, why do people need reverence? Because being well and healthy today proves nothing.

Every time I say you are sowing curses, you retort, "Where are the curses? Where are the curses?" But they have not yet matured. When they ripen and you harvest, God will say, "Eat it," whether you like it or not; you must consume what you have sown. Therefore, what you sow, you reap; this is a matter of life and death.

So, be careful what you sow, for you will surely reap it. That's why I often speak at length during prayer sessions. You might wonder, "Teacher, why talk so much? Just lead me in prayer." No, I must uproot the root of the problem. This morning, during prayer, I addressed the love of money, which afflicts many among us.

What you sow, you reap. If you sow seeds of blessing, you reap blessings. If you sow curses, won't you reap curses? If you sow diligence, you will surely reap diligence. Speaking of which, if I were to explain further, it all boils down to what you sow, you reap. If you are willing, listen to my sermon titled "What You Sow, You Reap."

Learn a Lesson from the Israelites

I ask you, the generation of Israelites contemporary with Jeremiah lived in misery until their death. Not only in Jeremiah's time but also in the eras of Daniel, Zerubbabel, and Nehemiah, the Israelites learned a profound lesson. God used Israel to create a demonstration for us: "Do you see? If you see, then act accordingly."

Now, I ask you, are there many Christians living under God's wrath? Yes, there are. God treats Christians as He treated the Israelites. Therefore, I often break out in a sweat, sweating over the lack of diligence in my brothers and sisters.

"Teacher, I am doing well now. Look at my glory, my finances are good, and my health is good." I say, "Don't be hasty. Soon, bang! You might get into an accident on your scooter." What you sow, you reap. The Israelites sowed, and the Israelites reaped. What you sow, you will reap yourself.

I earnestly hope that brothers and sisters will learn to revere God before His wrath is kindled. Truly, you must learn to revere God. Never complain or blame others; do not say that you made a mistake. Sometimes, people never figure it out in their lifetime, even becoming pastors.

I often see people saying, "I thank God for giving me the best doctor, the president of some American association, to perform surgery on me." How can they not recognize that this is the work of the devil?

Let me give you an example. If your intestines are blocked, they cut it out, right? What if it gets blocked again? They cut it out again. And again? They keep cutting until there's no intestine left, and they simply connect the stomach to the large intestine. What do you think of that? No matter how skilled the doctor, they only cut and cut.

The doctor does not know why it is blocked. Why is it blocked? Because a demon resides there; how can it not be blocked? If you cast out the demon, you can solve the blockage. If someone has a heart problem and undergoes surgery, does the demon leave? No. After some time, they develop cancer and undergo surgery. Does the demon leave? No, they suffer greatly.

Learn to Revere God Before His Wrath is Kindled

People spend their lives not knowing that they should learn to revere God before His wrath is kindled. Brothers and sisters, be careful; what sounds reasonable may not be God's word. You must diligently study God's word. The Chinese Mingding Doctrine refines and organizes God's word into our courses, but that cannot replace God's word. You must still read the Bible. Do not pray after God's wrath has been kindled; it will not be effective.

If you have reached the stage of Lamentations, then so be it. If you have not yet reached Lamentations, then quickly revere God. Do I speak plainly? Why provoke God's anger? Why sow those curses? Many do not know reverence and wander into that state. "God, why have I come to this?" Is it not what you sowed yourself? Therefore, quickly revere God.

The Root of Why God Does Not Hear Prayers

Always remember, where is the root of why God does not hear prayers? The root of not hearing prayers lies in people making mistakes. God does not make mistakes, demons do not make mistakes, diseases do not make mistakes, disasters do not make mistakes; only people make mistakes. Many take their own experiences as truth. They wonder, "Why did I develop a tumor? I did nothing wrong." You don't need to do anything wrong; simply being someone who provokes God's anger is enough.

What should you do? Diligently read God's word and correct yourself. I tell you, God gives you many warnings; you must be especially careful. Repent deeply and do not store up wrath for yourself. When our prayers are ineffective, be careful.

For example, one of our sisters could not find a job no matter how hard she tried, and prayer was useless. That was because she had provoked God's anger. Later, our pastors continually taught her, guiding her to correct her ways. Some can be corrected, but if you touch others, it's like stirring up a hornet's nest.

That is why I dislike ministering to those who have believed for a long time, are extremely rigid in their bones, and think they are full of truth and glory, but are actually full of God's wrath. If you search online for "God does not hear prayers," what will you do? If God does not heal you, what will you do? If God gives you this disease, what will you do? I tell you, after reading those, I feel they completely contradict the Bible.

The Bible does not say that. The root of why God does not hear prayers is that we have made mistakes. In Lamentations, the Israelites fasted and prayed in the city, doing all sorts of things. Oh my goodness, it was all in vain. Because the Babylonian army was brought by God. Have I undermined your faith? If you feel I have undermined your faith, and if you can learn that I have not done things right and have provoked God's anger, then quickly come out. The Israelites still did not know at this time and remained stubborn.

Zion is Desolate, Jackals Prowl Upon It

You know that when people prioritize eating and drinking, the church becomes desolate. When the church becomes desolate, Zion, which is the church, is overrun by jackals. Even if you cry out, "Jehovah, You endure forever, Your throne endures to all generations," you are still a people living under God's wrath.

There is only one path of hope: to build a church full of God's glory together. Zion is desolate, and everyone is only concerned with themselves. It was not just Jeremiah who said they were only concerned with themselves; even seventy years after the Israelites returned to Jerusalem from Babylon, it was still the same.

Another seventy years passed, and in Nehemiah's time, it was still the same. I am particularly moved and think: "God, why are people like this?" It is because of the topic we are discussing: "Do not wait until God's wrath is kindled to remember to call upon God."

You will surely see strange things in the church today. I tell you, many in the church suffer from all sorts of strange illnesses. Like I said earlier, some experience sleep paralysis after going to church. Zion is desolate, and as everyone is only concerned with themselves, the church becomes desolate, jackals prowl upon it; how can it be well?

Conclusion

How do we solve this problem? First, build a church full of God's glorious victory together. You must first understand what you are living for. If you are living for work, then you are living under God's wrath. Why are you living? I am living for eating, drinking, and having fun. Believing in God and serving God is just a small pastime. That's terrible; that's deadly.

Why is our theology called Chinese Mingding Doctrine? It is a theology of living for God. If I live for God, I work with God to build a church full of God's glory, fight victoriously, and become a valiant soldier of Jesus Christ. First, understand what you are living for; this is the first thing.

Second, know that the church is a whole. If the church is desolate, all the brothers and sisters suffer loss, and the entire church lives under God's wrath. If you examine carefully, you will see that this place is a church under God's wrath, and that place is also a church under God's wrath. If you are in that team, you will surely suffer loss.

I encourage you to obey God's word. I do not need you to be loyal to me; you must be loyal to God's word, you must be loyal to God's way. If you are in a certain church, listen to my advice: if you see that place is under God's wrath, come out.

Then you might ask, "What do you want me to do? Do you want to poach me?" No, I do not want to poach you; I want you to obey God's word. Be loyal to God's word, be loyal to God's way; this is the key. For example, the sister we mentioned earlier who had intestinal obstruction would have been finished if she had continued to struggle in her previous church.

She came to me for ministry, but she was still entangled with her old church; I did not interfere. But you must obey God's word. The Lamentations I spoke about is God's word. Do not continue to live under God's wrath; diligently understand God's word.

For example, if you are sick, you might say, "Teacher, look at how sick I am; are you still pushing me to study God's word?" If I do not push you to study God's word, how can you understand where you have gone wrong? Right? You must systematically study God's word and build a church full of God's glory.

You will be surprised: "Why could I not pray well in that place, but I can pray well in this place?" Why? Because that place is a place of God's wrath, and this place is a place of people with Mingding, pleasing God, and working with God to build a victorious church. We must guard this place, be careful, and be constantly on thin ice.

I am truly moved. If you examine carefully and investigate in this way, you do not necessarily have to choose the Chinese Mingding Doctrine, but you must choose a place that diligently examines God's word and builds a church like Jesus Christ according to God's word. Then, from now on, I will live for this, I will forsake everything to follow the Lord; how wonderful. I hope that brothers and sisters will come out of the place of God's wrath.

This generation is the generation of Chinese chosen by God. In this generation, God's gospel will be restored, returning to the pure faith of Jesus Christ. If you want to bless people, the best blessing is to bring them God's truth. It is not that we have the truth, but that God's word is truth. Until now, we are still exploring, still running forward, striving to pursue. Jesus Christ is truly a treasure.

If you are sick, quickly repent where you need to repent, and do not continue to live under God's wrath. If you choose to love God, God knows it. No longer love money, no longer indulge the flesh. I tell you, perhaps in this way you still have a chance, a chance to regain God's grace and mercy. A broken and contrite heart God will not despise. God has abundant grace and mercy, but people cannot be stubborn. May God bless everyone.
