29 As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him. 30 Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” 31 The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” 32 Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked. 33 “Lord,” they answered, “we want our sight.” 34 Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him. (Matthew 20:29-34)
Here we see that when the Lord Jesus left Jericho, two blind men by the roadside shouted loudly for the Lord Jesus to have mercy on them and heal them. The Lord Jesus was moved with compassion and healed them.
The Lord Jesus not only healed the sick and cast out demons, but also gave his disciples the authority to heal and cast out demons. When the Lord Jesus sent out the twelve disciples and later sent out the seventy-two disciples to preach the gospel, he gave them the authority to heal the sick and cast out demons. The Lord Jesus not only healed the sick in the Biblical time, but he is still healing the sick now. I have heard many testimonies of the Lord Jesus healing the sick now.
17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” (Mark 16:17-18)
Here the Lord Jesus said that signs will follow those who believe, they will lay hands on the sick and they will get well. The Lord also led me to pray for the sick, and some of the sick were healed by the Lord.
The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name. (Luke 10:17) However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” (Luke 10:20)
The Lord Jesus sent seventy-two people out to preach the gospel, heal the sick and cast out demons, and the demons submitted to them, but the Lord Jesus said: Do not rejoice because the demons submit to you, but rejoice because your names are written in heaven. I hope more people will believe in the Lord, be baptized, be born again and be saved, and have their names written in heaven.
May God bless you and your family!

20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus with her two sons and worshiped him, asking him for something. 21 Jesus asked her, “What do you want?” She said, “I want my two sons to sit, one at your right and one at your left, in your kingdom.” 22 Jesus answered them, “You don’t know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I am about to drink?” They said, “We can.” 23 Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup that I drink, but to sit at my left or right is not mine to give, but my Father gives it to those for whom it is prepared.” 24 When the ten heard this, they were angry with the two brothers. 25 Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. 26 It shall not be so among you, but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wishes to be first must be your slave. 28 Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Matthew 20:20-28)
Here we see that two disciples of the Lord Jesus, John, James, and their mother asked the Lord Jesus to let two of them sit on his left and right in the Kingdom of God. The Lord Jesus said that could they drink the cup that he was about to drink. What did the Lord Jesus mean cup he was about to drink? He meant that he would be crucified on the cross, which was the cup of suffering. The Lord Jesus continued to talk about the Gentiles, that is, in the world the rulers lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them, but in his kingdom, whoever wants to be first must be your servant, that is, the greatest must serve the people and help those in need. The Lord Jesus is the King of kings and the Lord of lords, in order to redeem mankind, he gave up his life and died on the cross. He became the sin offering for the redemption of mankind.
¹⁴ Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. ¹⁵ I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. (John 13:14-15)
This passage talks about the Lord Jesus washing the feet of his disciples. He is the Lord, and he sets an example for his disciples, washing their feet, and asking them to wash each other’s feet and serve each other.
May God bless you and your family!

1 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2 He agreed to pay them a denarius  for the day and sent them into his vineyard. 3 “About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. 4 He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’ 5 So they went. “He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing. 6 About five in the afternoon he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’ 7 “‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. “He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’ 8 “When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.’ 9 “The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius. 10 So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. 11 When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. 12 ‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.’ 13 “But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius? 14 Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. 15 Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’ 16 “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.” (Matthew 20:1-16)
Here, the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner going out to hire workers to work in his vineyard. The landowner went out to hire workers to work in his vineyard at different times: early morning, 9 o’clock, noon, 3 o’clock, and 5 o’clock, one hour before the end of the work. In the end, each of them received a denarius. The meaning of this parable is that the Lord Jesus, the landowner called people to serve him at different time, but their remuneration was the same. The first hired thought they would get more and complained that the landowner was unfair. The landowner was not unfair because they had agreed that the wages were one denarius, but the landowner was generous and also gave one denarius to those who only worked for one hour. These people who only worked for one hour were weak people, and no one was willing to hire them. They needed this money more.
In the past few years, I have been sharing the gospel on WeChat and on my gospel website, and I have more time to share the Lord’s words. At the end of 2020, the Lord gave me the gift of writing songs through a dream. In the dream, I was told that I would write many songs, and I ended up writing many songs. He also taught me to pray for the healing of people, for example: I prayed for an old sister’s unbearable headache, the Lord healed her. I prayed for another sister with shingles, and she was also healed by the Lord, shingles is also very painful. Thank the Lord, and glory to the Lord. A person is never too old to believe in the Lord and serve the Lord. Even if you are old and can’t do anything, you can still pray for others and receive the Lord’s rewards. May God bless you and your family!

¹² “What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? ¹³ And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. ¹⁴ In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish. (Matthew 18:12-14)
Here it says that a shepherd has a hundred sheep, and one of them is lost. When he finds it, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that were not lost. It is not the will of the heavenly Father that one of these little ones should perish. Who are the little ones here?
See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven. (Matthew 18:10)
Here it talks about their angels, that is, their guardian angels. Every Christian has a guardian angel. Who do the little ones refer to? It refers to Christians. They are the Lord’s sheep, but later they are lost. The shepherd does not want any sheep to be lost, and the Father in heaven does not want any of his little ones to be lost, so he wants to find them back.
From the context of the parallel passages in Luke, we know that the lost sheep refer to the tax collectors and sinners.
For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. (1 Peter 2:25)
Here it says that we were like sheep going astray before we believed in the Lord. Each of us went his own way. We were all lost sheep, and we did not have the Lord Jesus as our shepherd in our lives.
I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. (Luke 15:7)
Here it says that when a sinner repents and is baptized and becomes a Christian. Heaven will rejoice over him, the heavenly Father will rejoice over him, and the angels in heaven will rejoice over him. The Father loves everyone, and everyone is precious in his eyes. He hopes that everyone will repent and turn to him.
May God bless you and your family! 🙏😊

18 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” ² He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. ³ And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. ⁴ Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. ⁵ And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. (Matthew 18:1-5)
When the disciples asked the Lord Jesus: “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” The Lord Jesus answered, “Truly I say to you, unless you turn and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. ” Here the Lord Jesus said that if you want to be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, you must be humble like this little child.
For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. (Matthew 23:12)
Here the Lord Jesus said that if a person humbles himself, he will be exalted, and if a person exalts himself, he will be humbled.
6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; ⁷ rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness. ⁸ And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross! ⁹ Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, (Philippians 2:6-9)
The Lord Jesus is the Son of God, he is in very nature God, yet he humbled himself and obeyed to the point of death, even died on the cross. God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name.
Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:19)
Here the Lord Jesus said: Whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; whoever keeps and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
May God bless you and your family!

²⁴ After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma temple tax came to Peter and asked, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?” ²⁵ “Yes, he does,” he replied. When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. “What do you think, Simon?” he asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes—from their own children or from others?” ²⁶ “From others,” Peter answered. “Then the children are exempt,” Jesus said to him. ²⁷ “But so that we may not cause offense, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours.” (Matthew 17:24-27)
According to the Old Testament, every Israelite over the age of 20 must pay a two-drachma tax to the temple every year. But the Lord Jesus is the Lord of the temple, and he does not need to pay the temple tax. So the Lord Jesus said: Others need to pay taxes, but children do not need to pay taxes. But in order not to offend them, the Lord Jesus asked Peter to catch a fish and get a coin from the fish’s mouth to pay the temple tax for the two of them. Here the Lord Jesus performed a wonderful miracle.
¹⁷ Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax to Caesar or not?” ¹⁸ But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? ¹⁹ Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius, ²⁰ and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” ²¹ “Caesar’s,” they replied. Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” ²² When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away. (Matthew 22:17-22)
Here we see the Pharisees and Herodians came to test the Lord Jesus and asked him whether he should pay taxes to Caesar. Caesar was the Roman emperor, and at that time Israel was under the rule of Rome. The Lord Jesus asked them to show him a denarius, the denarius was with the image and inscription of Caesar on it. The Lord Jesus said, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” They were amazed to hear the Lord Jesus’ answer, and left him.
Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor. (Romans 13:7)
Here Paul says in Romans that give to everyone what you owe them, if you owe taxes, you should pay taxes.
May God bless you and your family!

¹⁴ When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him. ¹⁵ “Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has seizures and is suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. ¹⁶ I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.” ¹⁷ “You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me.” ¹⁸ Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment. ¹⁹ Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” ²⁰ He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” ²¹ (Matthew 17:14-21)
Here we see a man whose son has epilepsy, which is caused by being possessed by a demon. He came to the Lord Jesus’ disciples for healing, but the disciples could not cast out the demon. He came to the Lord Jesus, and the Lord immediately cast out the demon. After that, the disciples asked the Lord Jesus why they could not cast out the demon. The Lord said that they had little faith. The Lord Jesus continued, “if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move” and then He said that this kind of demon can only be cast out through fasting and prayer. The demons mentioned here are evil spirits. The leader of the evil spirits is the devil, also called Satan, who is a fallen angel.
We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. (1 John 5:19)
The evil one mentioned here is the devil, and the whole world is under his control.
There was a couple from China who attended our church. I knew the husband many years ago. Later, they moved to a place which was a bit far away from the church and stopped coming to the church. After that, the wife practiced qigong-a kind of Chinese meditation. After practicing qigong, she was possessed by the evil spirits, then she asked the preacher of our church to cast out the evil spirits. The evil spirits were cast out and came back. Later, the preacher asked her to be baptized and committed her life to the Lord. After she was baptized, she had the Holy Spirit living in her heart, and the evil spirits never came again. Her husband and she were baptized at the same time. Thank God! I hope more people will believe in the Lord and be baptized, receive the Holy Spirit, receive the new life, receive the eternal life, and receive God’s blessing!
May God bless you and your family!
