living sacrifice

After searching the Internet, I discovered that Charismatics have such a bad reputation in Christianity as a whole.

I don't think there is anything wrong with charismatics, so I directly say that we are charismatics, but when these words are mentioned, people always jump out and make a lot of theological arguments, but what they say is that I I can't understand it at all, so I'm tired of such arguments.

I also discussed this issue with Sister Zhao, and Sister Zhao comforted me: "I don't think there is anything wrong with Charismatics. If I am wrong, you can correct me, and I will pray before the Lord."

With such a guarantee, I feel more at ease.

I asked Sister Zhao: "What do you think of Jiang Xiuqin's sermons? Many people on the Internet say she is not good."

"On the Internet is what people say. You don't have to take people's words seriously, or you will get lost very quickly. I personally think that Jiang Xiuqin's sermons are more focused on spiritual warfare, while other evangelical pastors are more academic. But We are all Christ's."

"War in the spiritual world?" I was curious again.I thought of the girl cultivating immortals I met online, and the weird things she told me.

"Yes, we are all in a spiritual battle. One side is the kingdom of God, and the other side is..."

It's rare for me to rush because I know this: "The kingdom of darkness?"

"It can also be called that, but it is actually the kingdom of Satan. Satan betrayed God and led one-third of the angels to establish his kingdom. Each of us was in that kingdom when we were not saved, and our souls were dominated by the devil. , Only those who are cleansed by the Lord Jesus with His precious blood will be in the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God and the righteousness of God are often mentioned in the Bible.”

"Does Jiang Xiuqin have any books specifically about these? Can you recommend them to me?"

Sister Zhao smiled: "Okay, I will push it to you when I get back."

Sure enough, at night, Sister Zhao recommended Jiang Xiuqin's book to me, which was about spiritual warfare.

It was You Yan who reminded me: "Lin Xiao, no matter what others give you, you must pray first, and ask the Lord's blood to cover and smear it, and don't let you read anything bad."

I don’t even bother to talk to her. You Yan always gives me strange feelings. Sometimes she covers and smears the door frame and lintel with precious blood. Sometimes she declares that the body is the temple of God and will be healed. Sometimes she asks me to do something. Pray first...

I really don’t remember whether I prayed or not, but I went to study with a very humble attitude at that time. When I opened the book, I found that I could only read Chapter 1, and I couldn’t find anything after that.And this Chapter 1 quickly bored me.

I don't know how to put it, what is said in that book is indeed bizarre, but I feel intuitively that it is a fabricated story, a fake one.

But I can't convict people indiscriminately, I have to find a way to find someone who is more familiar with the spirit world, so just like that, I remembered the girl who shared with me on the Internet about cultivating immortals.I added her WeChat and knew her name was Mu Yun.

Mu Yun's name is very classic, and she said that she used to be a cultivator of immortals, and I immediately imagined an ancient woman in white clothes, holding a long sword and looking like a fairy.Yes, it looks like the little dragon girl.

Mu Yun quickly replied to me: "Are you looking for spiritual warfare? It happens that I am also interested in this topic, and I will study it together."

"Okay!" I am very happy.I think that although Mu Yun has not officially become a Christian, she is very interested in the Lord now, and her enthusiasm for learning is not weaker than mine. If everything goes well, I think she should be the first person I will succeed in preaching the gospel. object.

After reading Jiang Xiuqin's book, Mu Yun expressed the same opinion to me: "I don't think this book feels very reliable."

"Really? You think so too?"

"I also found a document. Do you want to see it? However, I think your sister is right. I suddenly feel uneasy. I think you should read it after praying."

"Okay. Then I'll read after I pray."

I used to like reading so much, but now I suddenly have to pray before I can read, and I feel a thousand discomforts in my heart, and I am still thinking to myself: What is the use of this?

Mu Yun sent me a story about the memoir of the battle in the spiritual world. It basically says that Christian prayer is the greatest weapon. Sometimes a Christian who keeps praying will break through the veil of the sky, or even break through the two veils of the sky. directly before God.But it is a pity that many Christians are on the verge of failure. If their prayers stop halfway, the cover in the sky will be slowly repaired by the devil, and their prayers will not reach the golden censer.

After reading this, I suddenly had the feeling that I used to write novels, like these hoods, breaking through barriers and so on, aren’t they the routines of starting male frequency?

"Is this reliable?" I threw it aside in disgust.

Mu Yun was also puzzled: "Don't you have a church? Show the pastor of the church."

If I hadn't experienced that kind of thing, I wouldn't have believed in such outrageous things, but because of the experience, I didn't dare to take what I thought was absolutely correct.I found out that this world really doesn't understand it well.

So I sent it to Sister Zhao, and by the way, I sent a sentence to Sister Zhao: "Sister Zhao, please read this article after praying, what do you think?"

After a long time, sister Zhao sent me a message back: "I read it."

"is this real?"

"I think it should be true."

Although Sister Zhao said so, I didn't agree with it in my heart.But I didn't agree with the existence of the spirit world before, but the reality hit me in the face, so now I don't dare to say that this thing is fake just because I don't agree with it.

However, from the bottom of my heart, I don't think that the two things that Sister Zhao and Mu Yun sent me will have any impact on me.At least in the battle of the spiritual world, they have no real help, just some stories.

What should we do?I really want to know what the truth is, and I want to know how the devil will deal with me and how I should guard against it.I have fallen so badly in my own experience that I definitely don't want to repeat that miserable experience again.

These two stories can’t satisfy me. I think after such a long time, God should allow His servants to write about the battle of the spiritual world for future generations, right?After all such a big thing.

At this time, a person's name suddenly popped up, it was the foreigner that Brother Sun had mentioned - Zhong Matian.I found Zhong Matian's "Exposing the Devil's Tricks - The Essence of Spiritual Warfare".

I'm not familiar with who Zhong Matian is, and I don't trust the surname Zhong too much, because I think his name is very strange.But after reading the article, I began to trust him. While reading, I took screenshots of large sections and sent them to Mu Yun, saying: "I found it! This person wrote it really well! It turns out that the real battle in the spiritual world Is such that!"

"Look. I glanced casually, not interested."

"Why? Don't you think he has actual combat experience? There is really a lot of experience summed up here. If he hadn't written it like this, I wouldn't have known it. It turns out that the battle in the spirit world is so complicated. In fact, we don't use spirit bodies to fight against demons, but more More often than not, the devil wants to use our natural human weaknesses to destroy us and the church, especially the strengths of each of us are the most worthy of care.”

"Just read it yourself, I'm really not interested. I don't like these very academic ones. By the way, I found an article about destiny here, do you want to read it?"

Mu Yun sent an article, I just glanced at it and felt the same as her, and I wasn't interested either.But I think it hurts to say it bluntly, so I won’t say anything else.

I have completely different hobbies from hers, and that's been the case from the beginning.She is very interested in things like fortune-telling, the future, and prophets. I vaguely felt that there was something wrong with that route, so I had to tell her several times.

In the end, she seemed a little angry: "What you like is what you like, and what I like is what I like. Don't always impose your own preferences on others. Didn't God create people differently?"

I don't know how to answer her.What I emphasized to her was to put the Bible before personal experience, and to correct one's own experience with God's words; There will be gifts, and people don’t need to pay more attention to them; I emphasized to her that I really felt that something was wrong with the official accounts she liked to read. I told her to study orthodox theology first, and then look at these slowly...

But because of these things, I was said by her.I don't know if it's me or she is wrong, and I don't want to force her to go back to cultivating immortals because of this, so I just endured and didn't speak.

I don't think Mu Yun has a bad temper. Although we were unhappy, she decided to come to my church in the end.I welcome it of course.

I also told her that I was very interested in her master, who was so unpredictable, but she rejected me. She said: "My master usually doesn't see people. If you want to see her, it depends on you two." Fate, if she thinks you two are not destined, she won't meet you. And now even I can't see my master, she is in retreat, she said that I will not be eligible to see her until I finish reading the Bible five times. God ! I've read a few pages so far, how long will I have to read?"

"Your master wants to retreat? But don't all Christians want to gather with everyone?"

"Yes, my master is going to retreat. Because her role is different. When God allowed her to be saved, she was given the role of prophet. She is learning Hebrew now and is preparing to serve the church."

This incident really made me dizzy. I had an idea in my heart. I felt that newly saved people should be reformed by God. They should not serve the church in important positions, especially such important positions as prophecy. point.If it was a false prophet, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble in the church, but at that time I didn't know how much trouble a false prophet could make.

But when Mu Yun said that her master was taken up to the third heaven, I dare not refute it. What if I am wrong?

These people really confuse me.If it was before, I definitely wouldn’t believe them, but now I don’t believe in myself either. After all, I’ve pitted myself to such an extent, and I don’t know God’s will, so I dare not deny their claims quickly. It becomes very contradictory.
