绪论：

如何看见，听见上帝与我同在？

Believe -> Perfect Will -> Come together -> Reset

应许（信心） -> 美意 （顺从） -> 肢体生活为中心 （一生的维持）-> 耶稣基督恩典（Reset）

Our Christian living is not about knowledge but knowing the Lord, and receiving the love and conviction of God. Hebrews 11 says that we must come before God and have faith that He is alive and those who seek Him will be rewarded. The first thing to believe is that He loves us. This is that He is alive. The second thing to believe is that those who seek the Lord and have found His perfect will are rewarded.

If we do not hear and see the Lord, we will become immune over time. It is not that we do not love the Lord, but that we are discouraged because of repeated failures in hearing and seeing Him. Therefore, we must continue to meet. Gathering tells us the breaching areas so that we will stand up again. There is a word called "reset". When we become weak or sin repeatedly, we will become immune to the cutting word of the Lord unless we are reset by His grace. When we play the PSP and we fail again and again, it is so nice if we can just reset that level and restart again. This is what the Lord Jesus has given us. He gives us refreshing new grace so that we will restore everything. This is what Ezra is talking about. The Lord continues to tell us that though we may fail or be discouraged again and again, God promises to give us a more beautiful temple to rebuild. Ezra tells us to reset to the original foundation in building the altar and then the new temple on it.

What shall we reset? Shall we go on to prosperity gospel belief so that we pray and have hope that God will give us success on every of our needs - cars, houses, happiness in our homes? No! We reset to the promises of Abraham.

Promise -

Abraham: 4 Gospelization - Altar (Remember daily) -> Moses: Tabernacle -> 12 tribes -> David united the kingdom "Join together"

* 所以，需要重建圣殿！需要统一！

This promise is not exaggerated. Neither is what is going to happen in the future. The Lord tells us that the 4 gospelizations are given to us not to let us become discouraged when we have no child, or when it is so difficult to go into Canaan. Therefore, Abraham built an altar. This is prayer, that he brings all his living conditions as prayer topics on the altar and stand before God. On the altar, God told Abraham to kill Isaac, but he was stopped by God and redeemed by the Lamb of God. That place was the foundation of the temple of David and of Zerubbabel. The temple was the concrete image of the tabernacle Moses set up that led them into Canaan.

The gospel tells us that we will continue to receive the greater love and the greater works. If we are satisfied being a leader of small groups, be a deacon. If we think that we have passed with 70-80%, we will only continue to stay here. That is not the perfect will of the Lord. God's standard is 100%, so it is not about being satisfied with what we have already attained. Only by resetting, we can go to 100%.

Israelites became great in number and 12 great tribes formed. Different people have different needs and motives. For example, some will be very interested in messages on how to teach their children, and some will be very interested about relationships when they are married. Some will not be interested in that message. When these cannot be resolved, problems arise in this fellowship. In leading these 12 tribes, there was a need to unite the nation of Israel. David united the kingdom so that they could be joined together (Eph 4). Even brothers and sisters have different convictions, with the brothers being more interested in logical messages and sisters more on emotional messages.

United Kingdom By Books of the Law / Books of History

Religion cannot solve the problems between tribes. It cannot overcome environment. Therefore, gods of Baal, Asherah, and 450 false prophets arose. When the exiles returned, they faced a mounting task of restoring the tent of David.

There will be a lot of oppositions when the tent of David is to be restored. When we are to format by starting to remember the 36 lessons, there is laziness. Our senior pastor had begun to exchange speakers in his church, but we do not know when we will do so. We are still on a lone island. If we start to do so, we can expect darkness to form such as suspicions, jealousy, etc. Therefore, Ezra was written. It says that we must not solve by man's methods. We must restore by the words of the prophets. When the work of angels comes, God will move His own work forward. When we want to rebuild the temple of our own families, or ourselves we do not be discouraged along the process, but we continue to move by the word of the Lord. When we are to rebuild the church, we do not search for our own roles to fit in, but we continue to come together with the love of God that touches us and thus have the heart of compassion.

Ezra Overview

以斯拉记的两大重钢

1. <1-6> Rebuild the Holy Temple (Abraham, Moses, David)

1. (1-6) 第一次归回 所罗巴伯/约书亚-> 重建圣殿

This is resetting, restoring the standard of God.

2. <7-10> Temple of Life <Individual, family, tribal, Israel): Repentance, Renewal

2. (7-10) 第二次归回 以斯拉-> 脱胎换骨的悔改, 更新

You have your own roles in your small group and your church. The methods of restoring the temple of life are by repentance and renewal of the cross of Jesus Christ. If we have repented but have not felt amiss, you have not repented back to the original death of your own humiliation and grace of the cross.

Outline By Chapters

1. <1-6> Rebuild the Holy Temple (Abraham, Moses, David)

1. 重建圣殿 <1-6章>

1) Chapter 1: Eternal Covenant (Promise) -> Faithful accomplishments (Today)

1) 1章 永远的应许, 信实的应验

(1) Abraham -> Moses -> David -> Remnants -> Jesus Christ

(1) Ab-> Ms-> Dv-> 余民-> 耶稣基督-> 敎会

Reset to what Ab/ Ms/ Dv/ Remnants/JX etc had

We must not return halfway such that we return to our own motives. We restore back to the covenant of Abraham, Moses, David, the remnants, Jesus Christ, the church, ... The bible always says that God is always loving and He is always the same. (It is not that the Old Testament is about His righteousness and the New Testament is about His love).

(2) 4 Gospelization, 5 Mysteries = Emmanuel

(2) 个人家庭地区世界-> 永远的国度

Foundation of our identity, not by measurement

I am! It is not that if we need to be measured whether we are. If I build this foundation in my family, my family will definitely one day serve Jehovah God. If we build this church by this message, this message will definitely continue to expand and world gospelization will definitely be accomplished one day. This information - 4G 5M - is Emmanuel, that He is always with us, will give us victory when we die to Him, will always listen to our prayers, will lead and guide us by His pillar of clouds and fire, and will be with us in fixed perspective to conquer the land of Canaan.

(3) Bestow Blessings: God with us, Guidance, Fulfill, Victory, Inheritance

(3) 赐福-> 同在引导成全

My conditions, appearance IS His Blessing

"We once drank only milk, but now we eat solid food" - the standard of understanding His blessing is already different. If we take the words "God is with us" from the bible, there will be nothing left. When God had to tell Mary that she would bear a child that will be a Saviour of the world, the angel told her that God was with her. Yes, God used His word to be with us, but He is with us in our very conditions.

God gave me 3 children to be with me, and used the conditions of needing to teach and manage 3 children to guide us. This is to fulfill His very blessings on us. When we continue to receive the blessings we should receive, this is called victory. This mounts up to our inheritance.

We must never put this as a concept. If we have really seen that God is with us, we will like our jobs, our families and the friends God has given us. From today onwards, let us love our own appearances! We must restore till this very standard. This is the standard of the 4 gospelization! Our own appearances are the most unique in glorifying God, benefiting men, and building the kingdom. Therefore, we have already received the best. By these conditions, God will expand. Do not change your jobs because it is lacking. Do not think about changing your relationships. Do not think about when your conditions of your family will change. But ask, "Lord, how are you going to use my conditions?" When I changed my prayer requests like this, I find that the blessings of God are so easy to receive.

(4) Answered, "Return" <-> Disbelief = Mindset being closed

(4)归回，应验

Perspective of Encounters Thereafter = Answers

It is not when the 70 years were completed. God's answer started when Jehoiachin and his people were brought to exile. Some only saw the punishment of God. Daniel saw through the reason of the exile, and thus made the resolution not to drink and eat as he found God's perfect will to be the best. He finally started as a young man and conquered Babylon by becoming prime minister. No matter what the danger and risk have become, fulfillments are never far off because those who are able to believe are already in His answers.

* 俘虏时代 ... 但以理, 但以理朋友, 以斯帖, 末底改, 先知/ 祭司

Psychology always tells a person to open his closed mind. For us, this is faith. It is not the problem of the boss or company, but it is the problem of my belief. If so, we will receive the blessings at that moment. If we do not seek yet have a closed mindset, we will not become anything. Before we ever want to pray for our jobs, we already lose if we lose this perspective. We win by a small elite number, and by the perspectives we have. Risk is an opportunity. Some people restore everything when they can see that the problems they go through are greater grace and opportunity to conquer. Those who go back even after many failures will see that the love of the Lord is so great, such that even if they failed many times, God still restores.

2) Chapter 2: Remnants

2) 2章余民

(1) Evidence of born again (spirit)

(1) 我是余民吗？证据？

Ideology already different from that of the world

To tell the remnants to return back to their land, leaving their houses and lands, was not easy. They had this thought, "When we are blessed, those who are related to us are all blessed." However, do we have assurance that we are remnants? Are we remnants? We are if we have left our home and fathers. Look at this, it is the most normal thing, but we have left our views of the world. Our views on filial piety to our parents and our views on marriage are already different. The world will laugh at us if we tell them. Yes, during the process, we may be weak. However, here, what I am saying is that the root is already different. In the past, we are floating with roots in the air. However, we are now rooted in the ground to be expanded. This is totally different. Because you have already received the Holy Spirit in you, you know that your life and purpose is different so that you will never have the views of the world again. I confirmed for myself today also. God asked me, "Look at you, what is in your life?" I meditated and replied, "Lord, I am different by You already. The reason of why I want happiness for my parents is different. I want my parents to believe." This ideology is already different. Therefore, you are already different.

(2) Plan

(2) 若是余民，有何计划在我身上？

Past Failures make me be in the center of the Plan of God

No matter how I fail, I am in the center of God's plan. I continue to hold on to the word of God to live. The conditions of my family are because of this plan. The job I am in now is because of His plan. "I believe, I really believe."

(3) Believe (Make covenant)

(3) 余民的方法是何方法？

应许（信心） -> 美意（顺从） -> 肢体生活为中心（一生的维持）-> 耶稣基督恩典（Reset）

Forward Encounters come because of the promise, not because of failure in the law

You are already different. Therefore, the result of the gospel is always believing and always giving thanks. We must really believe that the job came to me because of the promise. Make covenant by this. Sometimes I ask brothers and sisters why they fail in their companies. They reply so correctly, "This is because I have bad attitude or do not desire to do well." When bosses are interviewed why they did not raise a person, they will reply the same thing using legalism and law. However, I discover that the spiritual problem is that the disbelief has come into his mind so that even if it is a good opportunity, his mindset is closed. Satan knows. If a person has a child who cannot study well and ended up going into ITE, a vocational institute, Satan will attack by this channel. How can all people aim to become the elites? All the small churches always think of becoming mega-churches. I have walked 4-5 years and I received the most unique plan of God for me. Then, you will see the strength and faith in my message being the same when we grow to 1000-member church as before. What really drives us? What is the spirit of the gospel? All things can be used to win the gospel, and I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.

3) Chapter 3: Rebuilding the Temple

3) 3章重建圣殿读经3:1-7

Passage Reading: Ezra 3:1-6

1 When the seventh month came and the Israelites had settled in their towns, the people assembled as one man in Jerusalem. 2 Then Jeshua son of Jozadak and his fellow priests and Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and his associates began to build the altar of the God of Israel to sacrifice burnt offerings on it, in accordance with what is written in the Law of Moses the man of God. 3 Despite their fear of the peoples around them, they built the altar on its foundation and sacrificed burnt offerings on it to the LORD, both the morning and evening sacrifices.

It was so important, that they sacrificed every morning and evening knowing the evil one.

4 Then in accordance with what is written, they celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles with the required number of burnt offerings prescribed for each day. 5 After that, they presented the regular burnt offerings, the New Moon sacrifices and the sacrifices for all the appointed sacred feasts of the LORD, as well as those brought as freewill offerings to the LORD. 6 On the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to the LORD, though the foundation of the LORD's temple had not yet been laid.

(1) Foundation / Method - Burnt Offering / Moses / Altar on the Original Foundation - The Lord's Arrangement / Deny Self to Submit and Follow

(1) 根基/方法-- 献燔祭/ 摩西/ 原有的根基上筑坛-- 主安排/ 舍己而顺从

The foundation is important. This is the crux of Jesus Christ, and it is rebuilt back to the original foundation of the temple.

*** Purpose In Life (4 Great Gospelization)

*** 生命目标 (四大福音化)

(i) Individual temple

(i) 个人: 回复以玛内利, 顺从, 成全..

(ii) Family temple

(ii) 家庭: 为整个家人福音化而生活.. 爱神爱人, 应许, 察验, 顺从, 等候

(iii) Regional (church)

(iii) 敎会: 一父一主一灵一洗一体 -> 联络的合式, 一起长大-> 地区, 世界

The church is not a club, but it is a place where people restore the same God, same Lord, same Spirit, same faith, and same baptism. The above is invisible. However, during Ezra's times, what is important is the process then. What is important is not ourselves, family or the church organization, but the important thing is the process. The above is our purpose.

What is the method then?

*** Method (Emmanuel)

*** 方法 (以玛内利)

(i) Individual (Blueprint: the design = Ark of the Covenant) -> Self-portrait -> Resume

(i) 个人圣殿(设计图/ 自画像/ 履历表)

For example, if danger comes, how do you overcome it? If we do not have the design ready, how can we overcome? How can it be that everyone can be successful? Therefore, we must have a design to guide us. Man's greatest problem/pain is being unable to see God's perfect will on him. Ecclesiastes says this also. "Does the Lord love me? If He loves, why does this thing happen to me?" If problems of your work, church, or family happen, use the design to understand. Do this, or else you will be in pain, "Everyone can, why can't I?"

Most Holy Place <Heb 9:3-5>

When you go into the Most Holy Place, God gives you the greatest intent and plan. We know by the Ark of the Covenant. There are 2 large cherubim angels representing angels who work when we pray to God. There is also the Golden Altar of Incense.

Holy Place <Heb 9:2>

There is the 12 Bread of the Presence (Shew Bread) on the Table of Bread and the 7 lamps of the Lampstand here. This is what God has given us to preserve our hearts and minds. Without God revealing in your hearts, you will know if God has accepted you.

Courtyard

There is the altar of burnt offerings here. This is where we become living sacrifices. If we are already willing to submit to Him, we can let go of our worries. Here, we use the grain offering to do the burnt offerings, so that we are able to wake up in the morning and give thanks even though there is some lack. We do peace offerings so that we do not become accused at all.

Self-portrait

God used the Image of God (Design) to create me (an Image of God)

Those who understand the promise and have the Ark of Covenant, will know themselves. I discover that saints do not have their own identity. They have no ideology and therefore, they only base their ideology through comparing themselves with others to know what they really want. When God created man, He blessed him and gave him the image and his identity. Do not work with no purpose. Do not also continue to criticize yourself, "I deserve this." Patrick's mother continues to feel this way. The reason is not due to her past failures, but that she already has the best conditions. We have to reset to the original plan of God. No matter how we are in our jobs, we reset to God's original purpose.

Resume

Background, guidance of God through the years

The background God has given me, the years through which He led me till now, etc is my resume. With this, I know which job I go to. This tells us where we should serve the Lord. How does the Lord lead you and give you the experiences? You are not me, and I am not you. The Lord's work on you and the timetable on you are different.

(ii) Interpersonal relationships

(ii) 人际圣殿(生命(一样)/ 不一样的连络/ 扩展)

God's love: Compassion

Love Centered on Life, not benefits -> Shepherd

I tell you, live according to life. Do not live by benefits or advantages. Advantages include friendships, money, etc. For the sake of receiving life, being blessed, and to bless lives, then you will receive the best. God has loved your life so that He plans the people around you. 30% of these relationships may not be likeable. This is our crown! We have areas where people do not like about us. No matter how you reject this, your conscience will tell this to you. You know that people know. Really have a good thought about this. It is a blessing to be understood and accepted by people around us. This is the greatest love of God in Romans 5:8 where He loves us whilst we were yet sinners. This is what is meant by interpersonal relationships.

Do not rush to work in the morning, as you are a shepherd of life. In the past, I would rush off to work without even looking at my mother. That is not centering on life. Yes, we are to know lives to the deepest, but do not reveal their inner hearts. Our intention is to comfort, encourage and minister, but revealing what is in their hearts may just hurt them by gathering up accuses that their weaknesses are no longer a secret. Those who touch people must know how to encourage and raise them up. This is not about trying to curry their favor, but I believe very well that this is the perfect will of God.

God's perfect will: Answers

I discover that we often live in sufferings and pains because we misunderstand one another. We have known Jesus Christ a lot already. Who will not know what is right and what is wrong? Everyone will know especially in this church. Instead, I discover that knowing what is right and what is wrong will often cause us to be accused. I have told you that man is given desires and longing. People are always pricked by their conscience as a result of this. If we return back to the boundaries of God to live those longings and desires, we will be protected. These can bless yourselves and many. If you live out of it, you will only be accused. Therefore, the process only tells you to hide your own weaknesses and indulge in it unendingly.

Image of Being Most Holy, Yet One Having The Most Freedom

Some people need a lot of emotional support. For example, if you tell a young person the word of the Lord by saying, "You must escape the desires of the opposite gender." In the end, upon not being able to do so, he or she will only go into extreme indulgence. The perfect will of the Lord is not by saying yes or no, but understanding the Lord's will and acceptance in their own conditions. Slowly, teach them to choose on their own in their own free space. If they fail again, we can let them come back to pray again. I find that blessed people will surely go through such a process of not saying no immediately. This is what we meant by Jesus is the all problem solver. People will then see you being so holy, yet one with so much freedom. Parents will then freely hand their children to play with you with no worries. Therefore, if you have the chance to shepherd people, really treasure and grasp it.

(iii) Live centered by parts of the Body (blessed parts of the Body)

(iii) 中心点-- 蒙恩的肢体为中心-> 个人-> 家庭-> 地区-> 世界

Find parts of Christ's Body that are equal or of higher spiritual level than you are to be with

Why do you continue to be weak even if you continue to stick with those of the parts of the Body? I discover that you need to seek those with spiritual life that is equal or greater than yourself to be strong. Therefore, I tell you to stick closer to pastors or deacons. You do not know because you are not with them. If you are really weak during a certain process in your life, you must really come to the pastor.

Last Words

Compassion

I say again. In your interpersonal relationships, there is a battle to fight with by having "compassion". The base is by centering among those having equal or greater spiritual level than you are.

4 Times Meeting

I bless you that you must continue to aim for all four meeting, and to be deacons. And for deacons, you aim to be deacons of life and one who can touch lives.

Filled with wisdom and Holy Spirit (Essence / Spirit of Jesus Christ)

You must pray today. When we are living centered to parts of the Body, we must learn how we minister to one another. When we are with others, we must really be filled with the Holy Spirit. For example, when a brother or sister comes to you and tells you his/her problem, your head full of answers will continue to give step one till ten. Yes, this is needed, but once. If she cannot do this, she will only shut off and become immune to any messages from then on. "I cannot do this. What can I do?" Tell her that to come before God herself. Our small group members must not hear answers so that the small group leader is exalted as a result. But when they are left some space to come before God and discover themselves, they themselves will see the love of God immediately individually. From now onwards, we must be filled with wisdom and the Holy Spirit. You must not acquire just the words of Jesus, principles or concepts or you will only accuse. You must acquire the Spirit and essence of Jesus Christ. You must acquire this so that you will tell your wife and your parents to be happy.
