Today we are going to share about “temperance”, and by the way, I will share with you a testimony that just came out! (Galatians 5:22) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, (23) Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. ~ We all know what this scripture says :Fruit of the Holy Spirit! Many pastors explain it as: Christians must bear 9 kinds of fruit. This explanation is completely incorrect! This is Paul telling Christians that they must have these 9 characteristics, and these 9 characteristics are a fruit, that is, every Christian! Christians must possess these 9 characteristics. Only Christians who possess these 9 characteristics are Christians who are with the Holy Spirit! Without the presence of the Holy Spirit, it is impossible to bear the fruit of these 9 characteristics! Therefore, it is quite simple to see whether a Christian has the presence of the Holy Spirit. See if he fully possesses these 9 qualities. If one of them is missing, he does not have the presence of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will not be defective!
Our world has always emphasized "explosive power" and never emphasized "moderateness"! Chinese people have a characteristic in doing things: "Retreat bravely from the rapids"! "Temperance" is the biggest difference between Eastern and Western education! Why is there “drug addiction”? Why do you become "alcoholic"? Just do anything without "moderation", and lack of "moderation" will destroy a person! Thank God! I heard a good news these days. My sister’s son scored 1470 on the SAT! He and my daughters are all students of Cardoso! His test score of 1470 really surprised me! I have known this sister for almost 10 years! She suffers from severe depression, and there is a big age gap between her son and her. Her son often causes a lot of troubles to her. Over 5 years, we have helped her son pray actively. Her son was once so obsessed with online games that he didn't even go to school! I remember, at the beginning of this year, my sister told me that her son was preparing to pass the college entrance examination and was actively preparing for the SAT. When I heard it, I said: That’s great! It happened that my daughter had SAT textbooks, so I brought them to her son. I also told him: study hard! He is really great! I was not disappointed! And it’s worth sending him teaching materials specially! In the hands of God, no talent will ever be wasted. As long as God is willing, God can definitely shape "Moses" from the clay! Thank you Father God!
I was chatting with a guest yesterday. Her granddaughter is in a private high school, and her SAT score is only about 1,300! This is why I think God’s miracle is so amazing! The boy was once hated and forgotten by everyone, thank God! I believe God loves him very much! Because God has made my love for His burden about the boy! I believe her mother also understands how I treat this boy! This is God's love! God's love cannot be understood by everyone, but He will let those in need see God's love through "Christians"! Customers told me: St Johns’ pharmacy department is very good! I said: I know! Because the I-20 I came to the United States with was the 5-year student visa issued to me by St. Johns! God has done so many miracles in my life! She said: The university near Stony Brook’s new home also has a pharmacy department, and the school’s ranking is getting higher and higher! I said: I know! Because I have a customer who is the vice principal of this school! The guest’s son has a master’s degree from Columbia University. Why are we talking about school? Because of "the network"! Chinese Americans have many outstanding talents, but why is the rate of Chinese participation in politics so low?
We Chinese must change our inherent thinking! We don’t study to “make money”! The Chinese have always put "making money" first! The current political ecology of the United States is not only "disaster for the country and the people", but also "disasters for the whole world"! The United States has become the most hateful "behemoth" on the face of the earth! To defeat this giant beast, we don’t have to rely on others, but we have to rely on ourselves! We should cultivate more "young people to participate in politics", especially we Chinese should use the excellent characteristics of Chinese culture to change the chaos in the United States! We no longer live selfishly for ourselves! If we study hard just to be a slave to money, then our study will be of no value at all! We must root out corrupt officials from American politics! Chinese participation in politics is not for "China", but for the racial integration of the United States, and for the welfare of the world! People must be educated! If the American elite wants to eliminate the "low-end population" in the United States, we must make the "low-end population" better than the elite! Just like the sister’s son: the whole world rejects him and looks down upon him, but in the eyes of God, he is always the most precious! Nothing is impossible with God! I hope God will raise up more of God’s elite soldiers to participate in politics! Our participation in politics is not to show how great we are, but our participation in politics is to: turn more people into Moses, and turn the useless talents in the eyes of others into God's elite soldiers! We participate in politics to glorify God! Our participation in politics is to tell the world: Nothing is impossible with God!
