Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil...... Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,and shod your feet with the preparation of the glad tidings of peace:And besides all these take the great shield of faith, on which you will be able to quench all the flaming darts of the Wicked one;and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God.Pray with unceasing prayer and entreaty on every fitting occasion in the Spirit, and be always on the alert to seize opportunities for doing so, with unwearied persistence and entreaty on behalf of all God's people...... Ephesians 6:11-19 Yet I am confident I will see the LORD's goodness while I am here in the land of the living. Psalm 27：13 Peace to all the saints who share a part in the suffering, Kingdom, enduring, overcoming and glory of our Lord Jesus Christ: Prayer: O Lord, thank you and praise you. For the past month, your Spirit has been leading us to put the hymns of Brother Watchman Nee one by one on the website. Your Spirit will speak for us by these hymns and our testimonies. According to different spiritual conditions of the saints, you will come to exhort, lead, comfort and build them up. Your children may come closer to you day by day. They will look up to your face only and live for your. They will become a spiritual man quickly. O Lord, praise you and thank you. Your mighty hands are upholding the testimony message of praising life. You know how much Satan is getting furious about our testimonies. How much Satan wants to see your children live in flesh. The enemy has attacked us from all sides. Thank Lord, by your grace, by putting on your full armor and by the all prayers of saints, today we are here again joyfully to continue our fellowship in Christ on the matter of “Be a spiritual man”. Hallelujah, praise the Lord, I am confident I will see the LORD's goodness while I am here in the land of the living. Psalm 27：13 O Lord, you continue to make us rejoice in the days that you have humbled us, you will still make us rejoice in the days that we bear the cross and follow you; Lord, your will still make us rejoice for the years in which we have seen evils. We want to give all the glory to you. May you strengthen the work of our hands. May the beauty of the Lord and favor of the Lord our God for us who obey you shut the mouth of your enemy and put the enemy utterly to shame! Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the LORD or fully declare his praise? Only the work of your hands will show yourself and you alone are worthy for great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised! We pray in the victorious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen! Dear Saints, In testimony 3B, we have briefly fellowshipped about what is “be spiritual” and what is “be in flesh” which related to our testimony. Today, according to the leading of the Holy Spirit, we will first fellowship why we need to be spiritual and why we need to be a spiritual man. Then we will have our short testimony. Why do we need to be spiritual? Why do we need to be a spiritual man? It is simply because to be spiritual and to be a spiritual man is God’s requirement. As we know, the Bible is God-breathed. There are so many places in the Bible that tell us that we need to be spiritual and we need to be a spiritual man. Here we are only dwelling on 12 places in the scriptures to highlight God’s requirement for us to be spiritual and to be a spiritual man as well. When the Lord was on earth, He once said to us : abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abide in the vine, thus neither can ye unless ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abides in me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing. These verses clearly show us by the Lord Himself that we need to become spiritual and become a spiritual man to obey God the Spirit. That by disobeying God, without God, we can do nothing. All we do will be nothing but failure. God today is Spirit. To abide in God is to abide in the Spirit. God requires us to be with Him. In His presence, we may know what the will of God is. He wants us to become spiritual. He wants us to be a spiritual man to obey the Holy Spirit. God wants to bear fruit through the branches that have life relationship with Him. In First Corinthians the Bible also tells us： Let a man so account of us as servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. Since God is willing to entrust us to be the stewards of the mysteries of God, we must be always abide in the Lord and walk by obeying the Holy Spirit. Only the spiritual man can understand the mysteries of God. Only the spiritual man can be the servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. Therefore, here the Bible also inspires us that we need to be spiritual. We need to be spiritual man. God’s masterpiece is the man in new creation. What does it mean God made us in the new creation? It mean if we are in Christ, we are the new creation.(2 Corinthians 5:17) Man in Christ is spiritual. Man in new creation will not mind the things of the flesh. He is the spiritual man in oneness with the Lord. God also reveals us in book of Romans through Apostle Paul,those live according to the sinful nature mind the things of the flesh; the mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace;” God clearly tells us that the Spirit of God dwells inside of us. If we follow the leading of the Spirit, we will mind the things of the Spirit. On the contrary, if we remain in flesh, we will be in enmity with God. We must be delivered from the bondage of sin and we must be freed from the flesh. We must be spiritual. Only in Christ, the law of the Spirit of life will set us free and make us fully belong to God. We will be completely delivered from the law of death. God through the Holy Spirit that searches all things, is willing to inspire us. He likes to demonstrate His profound mystery to us. Therefore, our spirit must obey the Holy Spirit. For God clearly shows us in first Corinthians that what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man that is in him? So the things also that are of God no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God. Therefore, God let us to receive the things from the Spirit of God so we may know the things that are given us from God.For the Spirit searches all things. it is by the word of the Spirit to explain the things of the Spirit. Therefore Paul said to us: The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. Whenever we come to encourage the saints, we must obey the Holy Spirit. We must discern what the real spiritual need the brothers and sisters need. By doing so, we may become the spiritual doctor like Apostle Paul. We may supply the right spiritual dose at time of exhortations. God wants to see all His children in trial to be comforted. God also wants to see those suffering for Christ and being comforted with a lot of comforts from Christ to comfort those saints in the same suffering for they have proper spiritual conditions before God. So God desires us to be spiritual.He desires us to be spiritual man. God desires us to have the desire of Christ to be our heart’s desire. Without such a heart desire, it would be impossible for us to comfort Brothers and Sisters. It is just like a good wife who lives together and walk together with her husband, she must know what her husband desires. She must be aware of what her husband is thinking about and what he is likely to accomplish. Likewise, if we do not remain in the presence of the Lord and we don’t obey the Holy Spirit, how can we know the heart’s desire of Christ? Why Apostle Paul used the word For who has known the mind of the Lord, who shall instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. It is Apostle Paul who wanted to show us that it is God’s desire to have the mind of Christ. Knowing the mind of Christ is to know what He intends to do. That is to know His thoughts and to know what He wants. It is simply to know the will of Him. What are the things He will accomplish. we would be able to follow His will. Only those of the Spirit and one with the Spirit can understand the heart of Christ. For the Spirit of God knows the things of God. Spiritual man obeys the Holy Spirit. spiritual man will search all things. Therefore God desires all of us to be spiritual and become spiritual man. God wants to make manifest the odour of his knowledge through us in every place, because it is His desire to always lead us in triumph in Christ. If we are not spiritual, we are not under the leading of Christ our Captain, how could we have the fragrance of Christ to manifest. (Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 2 Cor 2:14) God wants to test us ,build and sharpen us. He wants to demonstrate our Lord Jesus Christ as the treasure to be the surpassing greatness of power in the earthen vessels being of God not of us. Only we become spiritual, we may express this treasure as the surpassing greatness of power being of God not from us.How much God wants to see His children to have all the experiences Paul has experienced. In all things we suffer tribulation, but are not distressed; we are straitened, but are not destitute; we suffer persecution, but are not forsaken; we are cast down, but we perish not: we always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. God here especially wants to be the man to express Him. God expects us to make manifest the truth in Philipians 1:20-21 that according to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.For me to live is Christ, and to die gain; Brothers and Sisters, only those who live in new creation, those who rejoice always, those who pray unceasingly, those who give thanks in all things and those who are one with the Lord absolutely obeying the Holy Spirit can express God. Therefore, God continues His calling here to expect us to become spiritual and to be a spiritual man in order to express Him. We must be spiritual to satisfy God’s heart desire to live by the Spirit, walk also by the Spirit. We could bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit in 9 aspects as it is revealed in book of Galatians. Not only so, God likes to give us the spirit of wisdom and revelation. Such a giving requires us to be spiritual first. In another word, only the inner living by living and walking in His presence, rejoicing always, praying unceasingly, giving thanks in all things, to obey the Holy Spirit, God the Spirit of wisdom and revelation will open our eyes to see what a power He has given to those who believe; what a hope His calling really is and what a glorious inheritance the saints will inherit. Such a seeing will make us truly know Him. In God’s heart, He is looking for such a spiritual man! The Bible also tells us in book of Ephesians, that we all need to grow up into Christ in all things and Christ makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love. Brothers and Sisters, only those who obey the Holy Spirit can look up to Lord’s face alone. They can never care the face of others. They can never give ground to the flesh and they never will be entangled with human emotions. Only those who care nothing but the will of the Holy Spirit can obey the Holy Spirit. They can speak the truth in love , we may grow up to him in all things, who is the head, the Christ: Here God earnestly wants us to be spiritual and be a spiritual man in order to build up the body of Christ. Dear Saints, thank the Lord, it is God’s mercy we were born at the end time. God needs us to be His good soldiers to discern all the evil plans of the devil. The day for Satan the devil to be thrown into bottomless pit is closer, the devil is furious and going everywhere to harass God’s children. As a roaring lion, Satan is walking about, seeking whom he may devour. Satan the devil is using all kinds of traps, schemes and plots to cheat the children of God. The purpose is to make God’s children to live in their flesh and remain in their sinful conditions. Brothers and Sisters, let us carefully go over again those verses in Ephesians 6 where the Holy Spirit exclusively is showing us through Paul:...... Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints...... God put us in this spiritual battle and He is teaching us by Himself to depend on Him, to be strong by His mighty power, to put on whole armor of God to resist all the evil plots of the devil.We will fellowship more in our following testimony. Today our fellowship is mainly on the spiritual warfare. To be the good and faithful soldier of God to discern all the evil plans of Satan the devil and tear down all the strongholds of Satan, we need to be spiritual! We need to be spiritual man! Our dear Lord is the living stone. Thank the Lord, He draws us to come to before Him and we all will be like living stones to be built up into a spiritual house. If we want to be used by the Lord according to His purpose, yet we are not obedient to the Holy Spirit. How can we become fitted as He pleases to be the living stones. For this reason, we must be spiritual and we must be a spiritual man! The mission statement of the praising life entrusted by God, is God's will to take 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 as the mouthpiece of God’s Word to let us obey God’s will. That we will have a continuous mutual talking with the Lord and let the Lord to reign within us as king; that we may sit in the resurrected and ascended position in the hevenlies. Thus. we could experience a spiritual living altogether belonging to God on earth. We will have God’s full salvation accomplished completely upon us without any hindrances of our self and flesh. We have mentioned several times about those who overcome in our previous testimonies. All the brothers and sisters who happen to read these testimonies know that God is calling us to overcome. God doesn’t care how many years you have believed him. What matters to God is the new creation. He only pays attention to whether you are in new creation, He cares if you fully obey the Holy Spirit and belong to the Holy Spirit! It matters to Him if you are answering to His calling to become those who overcome. Do you have the desire to put on the whole armor of God to resist the evil schemes of the devil. God cares if you are a spiritual man! If you do answer God’s calling, then it is very simple. You should know you can do nothing and you don’t know how to do anything in yourself. You only want to fully depend on the Lord. You are truly blessed if you realize you are a person who needs to fully depends on God and see you are nothing! You are truly blessed if you realize you can do nothing without God! For you will not have your way but His way and you don’t have any choice of yours any more knowing there is only one way out. All you do is to follow the master who bought you at a price. Dear Brothers and Sisters, are you such one among God’s children? If not, do you want to become the one who overcomes? Are you troubled that you don’t know how to overcome? Do you always regret for your repeated failures? Paul in Romans 7 once said:......For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but I cannot carry it out.For what I do is not the good thing that I desire to do; but the evil thing that I desire not to do, is what I constantly do.Unhappy man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord...... Paul continued in Romans 8:1-2 to tell us that there is then now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus and the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set us free from the law of sin and of death. Brothers and Sisters, we all had same experience that Paul experienced in Romans 7. One minute we are absent from the presence of the Lord, we will do the things we desire not to do. How does the devil work out his evil through our flesh? Brothers and Sisters, the devil is to let your mind, your soul, your thoughts and desire to be occupied with with the mind,thoughts and desire of old man. Straightly speaking, you don’t love our Lord enough. The manifestation of such a in adequate love to the Lord is that you don’t have firm faith to the Word of God- Believing God’s word that we have been crucified with Christ, dead with Christ and resurrected with Christ. Therefore you are still occupied with emotions, will and mind of your old self and you will not be set free from the law of sin and death. It is quite simple. If you believe that regeneration has brought God’s life to you and you are made a new creation, you will be in Christ. Because of your believing, God will hide you in Christ and the law of sin and death will not have power over those in Christ. You will not be a miserable person any more for the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set us free from the law of sin and of death. We will be able to obey our master who has redeemed us with a price. Our body, our mind, emotion and will all together subject to the Holy Spirit. Some Brothers and Sisters came to tell me that they like the hymn “Let me love and not to be respected” by Brother Watchman Nee very much. Yet they could not carry it out. The answer is the “believing”. God does not like to see we are still remaining in the conditions at Romans 7, where I have the desire to do what is right, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good thing that I desire to do; but the evil thing that I desire not to do, is what I constantly do. Dear saints, “believing” is the key. You will not just simply like all the hymns of Brother Watchman Nee and take them as your favorite mottos. You can truly see God’s hands to let you experience Him the same as His servant has experienced! God’s will is for us to gain His full salvation by the faith. God is faithful. He will not break His promise. Since we claim Him to be our savior and God has transferred us into the kingdom of the light of His son. We of course should offer our entire being and our whole heart to Him. With such a offering, God can use us as His useful vessels for His purpose. God only likes to use the vessels that fully belong to Him. We must offer ourself entirely and whole heartedly to the Lord who redeemed us with His precious blood. That we may truly obey the Holy Spirit, belong to the Spirit and become a spiritual man. Dear Brothers and Sisters, You must Believe God’s Word! You must be faithful! O love the Lord! Apart from the experience of Romans 7 and 8, you still need to know if you have offered yourself at time of regeneration. And you never take your consecration back ever sine. It relates to what Paul shares in Romans 12 where Paul urged us, brethren, by the compassions of God, to present our bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is our spiritual service of worship. Brothers and Sisters, there are many present and past God’s servants and maid servants who gave their detailed expositions about this verse. We don’t know how they have expounded. We could only come and ask our dear Lord. Thank the Lord, God is so merciful to us and He let me and Brother Enoch see the same revelation in the Lord. Dear Saints, although this verse is simple and short, the Holy Spirit wants to reveal us that God has very deep and wise work upon those He created. How profound God’s thoughts are! How great His work is! It is not for human wisdom to apprehend. Only the Holy Spirit that searches all things has manifested to us. God has revealed His work through His Son Jesus Christ. Why did Paul say by the compassions of God? What is the compassions of God referring to? Brothers and sisters, God’s compassions is referring to God’s heart that He wants to accomplish something great. That is to say that God desires to grace us with His infinite riches, all kinds of love and mercies. He desires to give us His wisdom, power and strength and glory. All that He thinks the best, God wants to give us! In God’s heart, the best is His Son Jesus Christ. Everything Jesus Christ has done is pleasing and acceptable to God. By the compassions of God, is for God to tell us that all the blessings, all the riches are in His Son, Jesus Christ. All of you, sons of God should be in the same likeness of my Son Jesus Christ presenting your bodies as a living sacrifices holy and pleasing to God! To be put on the altar and used by God is holy and pleasing to God. The Lord Jesus humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of the cross. This is the way our Lord served the heavenly Father. God requires us, the sons of God to present our bodies as a living sacrifices. This is a service holy, reasonable, appropriate, spiritual and acceptable to God. When we the sons of God present our bodies as a living sacrifice, it is a spiritual worship and it is our reasonable service. Why is it so pleasing to God as a living sacrifice? It is because we the sons of God present our bodies as a living sacrifice just the same as the first born Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. It is because God has gained victory and His glory exceedingly. God’s enemy the devil has been put to same utterly! Christ is the living stone, we are also the living stones as we offer ourselves as a living sacrifice. Only those present themselves as a living sacrifice, God may use them anytime,anywhere as living stones for His building. This is the great glory God has accomplished upon the last Adam! The spirit, soul, body of the entire man is completely obeying the Holy Spirit. It destroys the evil plan of the enemy. God has finally gained His intimate companion, His good friend, the one who knows Him and whom He can entrust, the corporate overcomer, the church, His counterpart, the bride. Prayer: O Lord, please heed our prayer. Thank you and praise you!Lord, you have let us know by the Holy Spirit that searches all things how deep your thoughts are and how profound your work is. You have urged us to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice for the purpose of learning from Christ, obeying the Holy Spirit and belonging to the Holy Spirit. By offering ourselves as a living sacrifice, you may bless us with all the riches of Christ. You have put us on the altar and melt ourselves completely in you as we present our bodies as a living sacrifice. You have made us one with you to express yourself. O Lord, we thank you for your great compassions. By your grace, they have manifested to us who want to become spiritual man. O Lord, your Holy Spirit will have greater work among God’s children and lead them to present their bodies as a living sacrifice. Presenting once, and it will be eternally counted! Never take it back! Lord we want to be used by you as you please. We pray in the victorious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen! From book of revelation, based on the word God spoke to the seven churches in chapter 2 and 3, we know God wants us to hear and He wants to be the spiritual man and those who overcome. a).To the messenger of the church in Ephesus write “Let all who have ears give heed to what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. To him who overcomes I will give the privilege of eating the fruit of the Tree of Life, which is in the Paradise of God.” b).To the messenger of the church in Smyrna write: “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death.” c).To the messenger of the church in Pergamum write: “ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.” d).To the messenger of the church in Thyatira write：“To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations”— He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. e). To the messenger of the church in Sardis, write： “ He that overcomes, he shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot his name out of the book of life, and will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.....” f) To the messenger of the church in Philadelphia, write： “ Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” g).To the messenger of the church in Laodicea, write： “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” Prayer: Each time we read the word “ He that overcomes”, our hearts are filled with a joy unspeakable. Our thankful tears continue to well up to thank you and praise you. O Lord, for your church, for all who want to overcome , you will surely bind the devil Satan! Destroy all his evil works! You will bind devil over and over!! !You will surely destroy his works over and over!!! You will keep on binding the devil and destroying his works all the way until he is thrown into the bottomless pit! You will be merciful to your church! You will have mercy on those children who are cheated by Satan. Shine on them that they will see themselves and humble themselves before you. That they will not live in the dead letter and they will not appear as a fig tree cursed by you to bear no fruit to satisfy you. Lord cause them to bear fruit in season and out of season. Anytime, anywhere, whatever you ask, they will give for you. Lord, what do you ask for? You are asking just for Christ! You will work all things together for good and lead them with your skillful hands. Grace you church grace upon grace! They all have a service that will satisfy your heart, they will fully belong to the Holy Spirit and obey the Holy Spirit to express Christ! O Lord, you will remember our prayer. You will hear our prayer. You will answer our prayer. For we know our prayer is under the leading of the Holy Spirit. It is our tearful prayer for the spiritual conditions of all your children on earth. It is at this hour, even now as we make our petitions before you, our prayer has been already answered, because we know it is meaningful! Our prayer is to ask for your will to be done! It is by the leading of Holy Spirit for us to have a prayer asking God to do His will! We pray in the victorious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ! Amen! Testimony On 12-18-2009, God took me and Brother Enoch to see a brother in lower Manhattan. Before we came back to New Jersey, it was about 9PM. The Holy Spirit led us to a Chinese Noodle house to eat some noodles. However, even it was 9PM, the noodle house was full of people. Brother Enoch and I prayed to the Lord inwardly and asked the Lord if we need to wait or leave. Lord, may your will be done. Seeing us, The manager came to tell us that they still have a big table that can seats 6 people. There were already 3 people eating there. He asked us if we would share with them. Brothers and Sisters, according to our natural mind and non spiritual experience, It would be perfect for Brother Enoch, another Brother and I sitting at one table. However, God requires us to pray unceasingly and in everything give thanks and follow the direction of the Holy Spirit. It is similar to what we have fellowshipped in our testimony 3b, there we see that if we live the Spirit, we need to walk also by the Spirit. For the sake of giving the testimony, we have talked about the matter of praying inwardly to the Lord and talking each other with the Lord. Actually this talking between you and the Lord is much faster than you think. It is even faster than 1 second or 1/10 second. we believe many saints have the same experience. As we remain in the presence of the Lord, we right way understand the will of God. We need to go and eat with 3 strangers at same table. We also immediately know there will be gospel work for us. Our hearts were filled with joy. There are two elderly couple and one young man sitting at table. The young man seems to the son of this elderly couple. Thank the work of the Holy Spirit. The work of the Holy Spirit is to fight to gain these souls from the hands of Satan. As we sat down, they were about to eat. We said to them, we are so happy to eat together with them here. we hare Christians. Thanks the Lord, it is the Lord Jesus Christ who brought us here to know them. Are you Christians? No, we are not but my son is. The parents of the young man said to us. The Lord then let us boldly speak to them in suggestion, may we have a prayer to thank the Lord Jesus Christ who arranged us eat at the same table. It was so wonderful thank the Lord, because of the wonderful work of the Holy Spirit, they happily agreed to pray with us. They started to bow their heads and closed their eyes to pray with us. I started to pray as follows: Lord, you see our soul as the most precious things in the world. You have told us in book of Ecclesiastes that Vanity of vanities, everything is empty, everything is meaningless. but praise you and thank you, only believing you is meaningful and believing you is not empty. Loving you is not empty, lord, thank you and praise you. It is your great love that knit us and these three friends together. Lord, you will grant us the proper speaking and in the short time, we will glorify your name. May you hear our prayer and we pray all those children chosen before the foundation of the world will know you. We pray in the victorious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ! When we finish our prayer, I said to Brother Enoch. You ought pray for me for the Lord wants to speak. I am not going to eat now. “Now time is so precious, you may keep on eating. I will talk to you while you eat.” I then turned to the three friends and said. The Bible says that believing the Lord, you will be saved, you and your household. God let me speak boldly to them. Well, even we are not Christians, we are not opposing others to believe. “Of course, I believe your son and all your relatives are praying for you” I said. Most of our relatives are Christians. They said to us. I then started to say that we are all sinners. All the religions are doing nothing but persuading people to do good. Yet none will save you from your sins. None will save your soul. Only the Lord Jesus Christ who was put on the cross, He took away all our sins. Only He is qualified to forgive our sins. Not only He forgives our sins, He has given us His own rich and abundant life. The devil is an evil spirit opposing God. The devil is using all kinds of evil plans to prevent man to know God. As you know, your son is a Christian and all your relatives around you are Christians, yet how come you still have not believed the Lord. The early you know this savior, the early you know His grace, love and mercy. It is a desperate matter and there is nothing better than this. From the Holy Spirit that dwells within us, we know two of you are the chosen ones by God even before the foundation of the world. God has prepared your son and your relatives to come tell you about Him. You have not received Him yet. The same God who is rich in love and mercy, today sent another sister and brother to speak to you and ask you again confess our heavenly father. God so love your souls and He likes you to end up in the same place with your son and your relatives in the future. We are the children of our heavenly Father. If you confess heavenly Father, We are your brother and sister in the Lord. It is not I who love you. It is the Lord Jesus Christ loving you and It is God who is gaining your soul saving your souls from the power of the devil......We are one family in the Lord. Thank the Lord, God really blessed His own work. All our speaking, the Holy Spirit has opened their ears to hear and receive. They express their willingness to receive the Lord. They even emotionally shared with us that they came form Indonesia to visit their son. Tonight is the last night in New York and they were going back to Indonesia next morning. It would be the last opportunity for them to meet us! Seeing the warm atmosphere, one waiter even volunteer to take a picture of us before we left. Those waiter who stood near us heard our gospel conversation and they were very much touched too by this rare atmosphere embracing each other like a one family. Dear Brothers and Sisters, if you were at present, surely you would be moved also by the wonderful and victorious love of God. I quickly finished the noodle thinking to continue my gospel preaching with these waiters later. When we came to the cashier to pay nearly $40.00 charge, the waiter said to us that the elderly couple already paid off everything!!! How can this be, how could they do this? The couple smiled and said, didn’t you say that we are one family? Dear saints, as I am writing are testimony, I am full of thankful tears before the Lord. May you all join us to say, Lord, we thank you and praise you for your wonderful work! The word of exhortations Prayer: Dear Lord, I am an useless vessel in your hand. I don’t understand why you have chosen me to testify this profound subject you have ordained. How great it is to put on the whole armor of God as the subject of our testimony message. Lord, I am nothing and I have nothing, I can only give myself to you as a person who is nothing and who has nothing. Lord, you know that I don’t know how to give a message, I don’t have the utterance of all the other servants and maid servants of yours, I never receive any Bible training. All I have before you is my tears, all I desire is a heart to love you and your children. Lord, you remember all my tears. You love to hear my tearful cry. All these tears before you represent not only I am nothing and I have nothing, but my heart fully open to you to please you. Lord, since this is what you want, you have a free way in me. You are the all conquering God. No one will change your will and no one will stop your Holy work. Lord Jesus, since you still keep me on the earth, since this is your desire for me in my last moment to take my own life as nothing but to give my all to finish my course for the sake of the spiritual conditions of your children. Lord, you will work with me! Lord, I only depend on your working with me! You will be responsible to your own Holy work, for you will manifest to all that there is a treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. May the Lord have mercy on me because of these tears as petitions for your church and for your children. That you have a way through me as an useless vessel to speak the word to express your wisdom, glory, strength and power. In the victorious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ I pray. Amen! Dear Saints, this gospel testimony is a victorious testimony of the praising life. It is to testify that God wants us in our normal daily life to put on the whole armor of God to resist the evil plans of the devil that we may work with Him to gain the souls of many in the hands of the devil. It is the demonstration of the Spirit and of power! It came to testify that: God is love and God is light; God is our way, our truth and our life. God spoke and it was done and God commanded and it stood firm. God accomplish the impossible things. These are the true words and worthy of our believing. It has testified that gospel is power of God to save all who believe. But without faith it is impossible to please him. For he that draws near to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them who seek him out.－－－－－these are the true words and worthy of our believing. It has testified that the Holy Spirit that searches all things, by the word of God, which is God so love the world, whosoever believe into Him shall not perish but have eternal life.It proves that God cooperates and works with those who obey the Holy Spirit to destroy all the strongholds of unbelieving minds that men will be freed from the dark power of Satan. These are the true words and worthy of our believing. It has testified that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Without faith we can not pleases God. Believe God is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. God never fails and He forever wins. These are the true words and worthy of our believing. It has testified that obeying the Holy Spirit, abiding in the presence of God and be a spiritual man is what God wants us to be. If we respond to what God wants us to do, He is faithful,He will surely lead us in triumph in Christ. God will make us live a in the reality of the kingdom of heavens by making manifest the odour of his knowledge every place through us. It has testified that if you mind the things of the Spirit, as a branch you abide in the vine, you will know the will of God through the Holy Spirit that searches all things to become stewards of the mysteries of God. It proves that we are more than conquers in Christ and greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. It has testified that we can be the faithful and good solider of Christ to see clearly all the deceits of the devil and take over all the strongholds of Satan. It has testified the truth as we see in Ephesians 6:11-19 Dear Saints, in terms of being spiritual and being spiritual man as well as viewing the spiritual warfares, a spiritual man must first be a person who deeply loves the Lord for the Lord has laid down His own life for him. Out of this deep love, he will consecrate himself to Him. He will be a person used by the Lord as He pleases. If you did not make a consecration, you have consecrated yourself to the Lord, you need to pray such a prayer: Lord, I have been redeemed with a price，the price of your own precious blood. You bought me that I may belong to you. You are the Lord who is reigning within me now. From this day on, I present myself as a living sacrifice. My heart and my entire being belong to you. Lord, you will arrange the rest of my life completely. Do whatever you want me to do that your will be fully accomplished. Lord, you are faithful, you will promise me to answer my prayer for my request is according to your will and acceptable to you. Lord,make me an useful vessel according to your will. I pray in your own precious and prevailing Name. Amen! When we have such a prayer, we will genuinely consecrate ourselves to God. God is faithful, He will have a way in us and He will be responsible for us in everything. God is so pleased that we present our bodies as a living sacrifice for He accepts this service. He thinks this service is reasonable and spiritual. A spiritual man also needs to pray the prayer for God’s will to be fulfilled. God is pleased with the prayer for His will to be done. This is also the prevailing prayer of those who overcome. A spiritual man must have prevailing prayer. What is the prevailing prayer. The prevailing prayer is the prayer asking for God’s will to be done. Regarding the prevailing prayer, the Lord has set up a good example both in Matthew 6:9-13 and Matthew 26:39-44 for us to follow. Let us read these verses so we may understand better what kind of prayer God is seeking for. Lord’s prayer in Gethsemane. Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.” He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.” When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing. The teaching prayer the Lord demonstrates to us: Our Father in heaven,hallowed be your name,your kingdom come,your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.Give us today our daily bread.Forgive us our debts,as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. In Gethsemane , the Lord My is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. He still prayed to the Father that may your will be done. Brothers and Sisters, this is the example. This is not only the requirement for God’s Son but for all the sons of God like we are. We are God’s many sons and we must be like the Lord to have the prayer not as we will, but as God’s will. That by such a prayer, God will freely accomplish His will upon un without any hindrances. Hallelujah, praise the Lord, Let us learn from the prayer of His Son our Lord Jesus Christ. Lastly, a spiritual man is him who overcomes. He is the member of the God’s glorious church. every one of them must be the good soldier of Christ. He is the exactly the one as Paul talked about in 2 Timothy 2:3-5 : Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. And if also any one contend in the games, he is not crowned unless he contend lawfully. Brothers and Sisters, the Holy Spirit reveals that a good soldier of Christ contending in the games does not receive the victor's crown unless he competes according to the rules. Dear Saints, what rules are they? What rules does the Holy Spirit set for us? These rules are set forth in Ephesians 6:11-19. Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.....Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints...... Thank the Lord, the all conquering God has connected everything in our daily life to the spiritual warfares. He is training us to fight by the rules to be crowned. We will finalize our fellowship regarding putting on the full armor of God based on our testimony above: Put a simple word, to put on the full armor of God is to put on the new man, put on Christ. In the strength of His power, you are strong. By praying in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests, by rejoicing always,and giving thanks in all things, talking each other with the Lord and walking in His presence to follow His steps, beholding God’s face, knowing His will and obeying His will that we may eat at the same table with three strangers according to the will of God and the desire of the Holy Spirit. By praying in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests, you may obey the Holy Spirit and give heed to the word of God.--- not ashamed of the gospel of Christ and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. Always work with the Lord to preach the gospel and save souls from Satan’s hand. By praying in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests, by rejoicing always,and giving thanks in all things, talking each other with the Lord, the Lord will grant you instant word which is the truth in the Bible. For the Word of God is powerful and full of strength, therefore having GIRDED our LOINS WITH TRUTH, we will have strength to walk and defeat all the enemies of God. By praying in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests, we take up the shield of faith. Because of our faith, the Lord will grant us the instant word, you will believe God’s power, strength, wisdom and victory. You will be confident that you are absolutely in Christ. To take up the shield of faith is to resist everything Satan put into the soul of man to whom you are preaching the gospel. It is to resist any mind,any thoughts, any desires that resist against the work of the Holy Spirit. This is to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. When we take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God. We will stand firm. For the word of God is living and effectual, and more piercing than any two edged sword; and reaching unto the division of the soul and the spirit, of the joints also and the marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. To take the sword of the Spirit is to receive the instant word of God. (as we see the instant word of God given in our gospel conversations) We will declare ourselves before Satan that we are God’s children redeemed by God’s salvation. We are here to work with God. We are different from the people in the world. God is love, because of our love to Him, we will have the love of God to love those in the world. We will be the channel of blessing for God’s love to reach many without delay. With this love, all the strongholds of disobeying and disbelieving stubborn thoughts against the true God in the flesh that Satan put into man will be totally torn down. People will be turning and belonging to God. To PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS here indicates a deeper mystery of God’s will. God is righteous, He only accept those justified by faith. Because of the justification by faith, we remain in His presence. In new creation we work out His righteousness. This is the fine linen given to all the saints for their righteous acts. Be spiritual and Be a spiritual man is what God wants. By His grace, He also provides us opportunities to make manifest the odour of of His knowledge every place. Thank Lord, we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing;To some people we are a deadly fragrance, while to others we are a life-giving fragrance. Who is qualified to tell about Christ? God by His righteousness, will judge those who don’t believe. He will also reward those who believe Him. Our heart is the most import part of our body. We need THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS to protest us. Thus we will not fail. The Bible puts BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS and GIRD YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH together, that we may walk not only with strength, power and wisdom of God but with protection of God’s righteousness. In all spiritual warfares, we will totally defeat the enemy. All the 6 aspects above, we need praying in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints...... This is the brief fellowship under the leading of the Holy Spirit we need to strong in the might of the Lord and put on full armor of God to resist the evil plans of the devil...... Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Prayer: O Lord, we thank you and praise you for putting us in the spiritual battles for everything in our daily life. For Satan is accusing your children day and night. Satan the devil is making all efforts to take your children down from their resurrected and ascended position in heaven. But Lord, Satan’s evil plans never succeed. You love us so much. You have given us the full armor of you which is in Christ, in the new man. By your might, we will be strong. Praise the Lord for the full armor of God to resist all the evil plans of Satan the devil. That we will be qualified to finish all your Holy works. We pray in your own precious and prevailing Name. Amen! Attached the Hymn I To Satan always say, "No" for us to sing together: 1 I to Satan always say, "No"
To God Father always "Yes"
That His plan and all His counsel
Be accomplished with success;
When Thine orders I'm obeying,
Grant me, Lord, authority
To be filled with Power and Spirit, To fulfill Thy plan eternal

2 I to Satan always say, "No"
To God Father always "Yes";
'Tis my attitude eternal; Thru the Spirit's power in me. Lest while walking in obedience
Satan undermine the way;
When I'm list'ning to Thine orders, May the Lord protect and bless,

3 I to Satan always say, "No"
To God Father always "Yes";
I completely would obey Him,
Though deep suff'ring may oppress. As I forward walking with Thee,
Surely Thou will save and keep me, 
Then no trials shall prevent me,
Nor will opposition grim.
