路加福音11: 14-28 你靠那边站?
Greetings to all my friends and family. May you all be safe and sound. Welcome to the update on the 5th of February, 2017. Today's Zhengdao Jingwen is recorded in Lujia Fuyin, Chapter 11, Verses 14 -28.
The theme of Zhengdao is Which side are you on? Have you ever made a choice between the two sides? Today is the U .S. football league final. These two teams are the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Lions.
Which team will you choose to win the championship? A few months ago, we still had no choice but to make the Democratic or Republican candidates become the 45th President of the United States. And this matter is still being debated.
Now, the President's seat has already been chosen. Is your choice right? Which side are you on? For those who believe in superstition and superstition, they believe that the world is not as simple as dividing the black and white.
It's not as simple as choosing this side or leaning on that side. It's not as simple as that. They believe that all religions have their own unique truths. Just like the heroes in the movie have their shortcomings, the bad guys in the movie also have their advantages.
If this sentence is applied to a proposal or a political proposal, maybe it's right. But in today's debate, there are only two choices, good or evil, light or dark, God or Satan. And you have to choose one of the two.
It's that simple. No matter how chaotic the truth is. We can analyze this sentence in four aspects. The first aspect is, it's a mystery. Everyone has driven out a person from Jesus, a ghost called Abba.
Once the ghost is gone, Abba will speak again. Yet, it's a mystery to them. People usually think that seeing with their own eyes is the truth. Today, we think we are wise, we are complicated, and we are old.
We think that believing in evil and God is the cause of many problems in this world. Here, in the fourth world, people are surprised by what Jesus did, because this is not a normal or natural phenomenon, or a fact.
They can distinguish between the supernatural and the natural world. People think it's amazing, because Jesus is an Abba, that is, a person who is controlled and suppressed by another force, and cannot speak.
When they speak, they realize that Jesus has a stronger force, which allows Abba to speak. So, they are surprised. Since Jesus has a greater power than the ghost, that is, the Satan, higher, and stronger, his power is less than that of Satan.
Then, you should choose to stand on the side of Jesus. However, pay attention to the 15th and 16th verses. They explain that there are two groups of people. A group of people are those who eat, hug, and doubt.
They are wise, complicated, and experienced. They cannot be easily deceived. That is, deceived. They say that they are possessed by the ghost, the king of ghosts, Beelzebub. Beelzebub is the name given to Satan by the Israelites when they worshiped the eight gods.
At that time, the Israelites not only worshiped Jehovah, but they also worshiped the eight gods, such as Mary, the Virgin, and so on. Here, these people who hug, doubt, and doubt, in their words, seem to mean that Jesus, like his ancestors, declares to Jehovah that in fact, his power of death comes from Satan.
The other group of people are the observers. They do not fully believe in the great mystery of Jesus. They adopt an observer's attitude. They believe that what Jesus believes in is the law of the earth.
They reported to Jesus on the 16th, and pleaded with him for his resurrection to show his true power. These two groups can choose to stand on the side of Jesus. But, because of their misfortune, they think that they are wiser, more experienced, and more experienced.
They feel that they will not be deceived by Jesus' tricks. In the 17th chapter of the Bible, it is written that Jesus knows their thoughts, that is, this group is the doubters, and the other group is the observers.
Although he did not clearly express his thoughts to Jesus, Jesus said to them, Any country that disputes among themselves will become a wasteland. Any country that disputes among itself will become a wasteland.
If any country disputes among itself, it will bring war, confusion, and a strife. This country will be struck down. This house will be destroyed. On the 18th chapter, Jesus says, Because you say But I rely on the power of the devil, that is, Satan, to divide and conquer each other.
In this way, how can his pot be maintained? Of course, this is not possible. This is also refuted. Jesus relied on the power of Satan to drive away the devil. In verse 19, Jesus asked the transgressors, If I rely on Satan to drive away the devil, then who do you rely on to drive away the devil?
In other words, Jesus meant their misfortune. Jesus drove away the devil to show his power and authority. These questions of the transgressors were answered. In verse 20, Jesus declared, I rely on the power of God to drive away the devil.
You need not doubt, you need not look around. Jesus directly said to them, He relies on the power of God to drive away the devil. Not only this, Jesus also declared to them, The power of God has come to you.
In other words, the power of God came before this, and is still in this world. This is the mystery of life. The kingdom of God is not what they imagine. It is not a country built on a certain land. There are palaces, courts, civil and military officials, laws, regulations, police, etc.
And Messiah is the king of this so-called third country. Under the leadership of Messiah, this country will overthrow the Roman Empire and restore the glorious dynasty of the Israeli Empire during the reign of David.
On the other hand, the mystery of the kingdom of God. Here, Jesus continues to say, The kingdom of God has come to you, in the midst of the Roman Empire, in the midst of the world of sin. It is in the midst of the world of sin and the empire.
They do not understand that the kingdom of God has come to them, in the midst of the world of evil. In the midst of the world of evil, they are being transformed from the world of Satan, the world of darkness, into the kingdom of God.
This is not the future, but the present. When Jesus drove out the devil's devil, he presented the kingdom of God and settled in our midst. In the future, he will also live in our midst forever. However, those who hold the attitude of the devils, those who look down on them, even the disciples of Jesus, do not understand that this kind of country can only exist in the world, where the king of kings, the king of nations, and the king of the evildoers, are under one roof, under one world.
Jesus is in the following chapters, in the 21st and 22nd chapters, to explain this mysterious event. Satan is like a warrior, armed with a armour, holding a weapon in his hand, guarding his own home. He seems to be stable and inviolable.
But if there is someone who is stronger than him, who is more powerful than him, he can take away the weapons and home he relies on. If he takes away his weapons, who is more powerful than him? He is Jesus.
He is stronger than Satan. He has taken away his weapons. This is what the mute man told him. And we, which is this chapter, Jesus has overcome the darkness, divided his chapter, which is us. He saved us, and led us to his kingdom.
This is the mystery. Jesus did not come immediately, he did it all at once, divided this chapter, so that those who do not follow the law will continue to live in this world, like weeds in the field. Many people still do not understand this mystery.
But the question is, which side are we on? Now, there are two sides in this world, and you have to make a choice. In chapter 23, Jesus said, Those who do not agree with me, are against me. You must make a choice.
You cannot be a mediator or observer. Ask him for a heavenly body. Ask him for a better body, more blessings, and better news. Only in this way, can you make a final choice from a neutral position. If you are still waiting, delaying, then, in fact, you are against Christ.
If you are not a harvester, If you are not a harvester, then you are a harvester. Harvester, the doubter, the observer, bring these harvesters to Jesus. Then, you are against Christ. If you think you need to make money, pursue ethics, pursue a career, pursue a relationship, and pursue all of this, then you are against Satan.
Even if you do not agree with me, there is a war going on. There is no neutral, no harvester, no observer. You must make a choice. You are a harvester. Thirdly, some people think they should not be too close to Jesus, and call him by his name, and call him by his name, so they choose moral theory to measure themselves, to control themselves, hoping to live a political life with no negative points.
For them, pursuing morality is to not make any choice towards Jesus, and to live a perfect life. But, Jesus said in chapter 24 to 26, the life of such a person. Let us look at this passage in the Bible.
Luke 11 chapter 24 says, The demons left this world, and came to this place where there was no water, in search of a place of rest. When they could not find it, they said, I want to go back to the place where I came from.
When they arrived, they saw that the place was clean, and well-maintained. Then they brought seven even worse demons, and went to live there. The situation behind the scenes was even worse than before.
After the demons left, that is, they lived a bad life. They lived a life of morality. They sought a place of rest, that is, eternal life. But they did not rely on Jesus, so they could not find it. They were helpless, so they turned back, and went back to the place where they lived.
Fortunately, their life was well-maintained, and well-maintained, so the place was clean, and well-maintained. So they went and brought seven even worse demons, and lived there. You can imagine the situation behind the scenes was even worse than before.
Morality could not help them. Israel may be such an example. In the New Testament, they left Bethesda, and the former king to follow the Law of Moses and become a part of their life. Their life was well-maintained, well-maintained, But in their life, there was no kingdom of God.
Their eyes were blinded. They stood on the other side of the Sea and met Messiah. Their situation was even worse than before. Our life, as the Bible says, is not filled with the Holy Spirit, but is occupied by evil.
What we need is not a new resolution but an update to change our old habits, but to have a new resident, that is, the Holy Spirit, live in our lives. This is what we need to rely on. We need to rely on the Lord Jesus.
Fourthly, they chose the Holy Spirit. This is a very common but wrong view. They relied on the Holy Spirit to change their habits. In verse 27, when Jesus was speaking, there was a woman who said, You are pregnant, and you have a wife.
Here, when Jesus was teaching, there was a woman who had good intentions in her heart. She was a woman. She tried to shift her focus to Mary, and to raise Mary up, to replace the Virgin Mary in Heaven.
The worship of St. Paul replaced the worship of Jesus Christ. So, in verse 28, Jesus said, It is not by the blessing of the Holy Spirit, but by obeying the way of the Holy Spirit, and following the way of the Holy Spirit.
Those who truly bear the blessing of the Holy Spirit are not the pregnant and the orphan, but by the words by the words of Jesus Christ. Those who truly give their lives to Him, Mary bears the blessing of the Holy Spirit, because she obeys the words of the Holy Spirit.
In the first chapter of verse 38, Jesus said, The words of the Holy Spirit are on me. When Jesus heard this, he said to Those who truly bear the blessing of the Holy Spirit are not the pregnant and the orphan, but by the words Do you obey the words of the Holy Spirit?
Do you stand by the words of the Holy Spirit? Brothers and sisters, friends, Choosing is urgent, and it is obvious. You must now before more evil comes, choose one side. Otherwise, your life will be worse than before.
Surrender, excuse, delaying tactics, relying on the ritual of the temple, the ritual of religion, or your own moral will, etc. are all impossible. You must now stand by the words of the Holy Spirit. You must stand by the words of Jesus Christ.
Filled with His Holy Spirit, seek His blessings, listen to His words, and obey His words. You must stand by the words of Jesus Christ. Otherwise, you are against Him. Thank you for listening.
