When I first read about believers talking about a flat earth, I laughed to myself and thought how ridiculous it was. I started off as a skeptic.

All my life I watched shows about outer space, aliens, seeing zoom-out footage of the earth as a globe spinning in space, and never questioned it.
The earth as a globe (ball) was taught to me in science class, reinforced in Hollywood movies, and by NASA.

Notice that all of the above are secular sources? 
I haven’t been to outer space, neither have most of us, and yet we take what they say as truth. 

It wasn’t until I delved deep into the Bible to see for myself what God says about the structure of the heavens (the sky) and the earth that I realized I had been believing a lie. 

A circle and a ball/globe are not the same thing. A circle is flat, whereas a globe is three-dimensional. 

“When he established the heavens, I was there; when he set a circle on the surface of the deep,” ‭‭(Proverbs‬ ‭8:27‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The verse above is talking about how Jesus was there with God the Father when He made the sky and was forming the foundation of the earth.

The Father drew a circle on the face of the deep. A circle is not a ball/globe. 

In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, He made the expanse which He called “sky”.

“God said, “Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. God called the expanse “sky”. There was evening and there was morning, a second day.” ‭‭(Genesis‬ ‭1:6-8‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The word expanse in Hebrew is “rakia” which conveys a sense of stretching out, like a dome. 

Ever wondered why the sky looks blue? It’s because beyond the sky is “the waters above the expanse” like the passage above says. 

“Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?” ‭‭(Job‬ ‭37:18‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The Bible teaches that the sky is a solid structure, like a cast metal mirror. The sky is impenetrable. No weapon fired against it can destroy it or even make a scratch. 

“Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.” ‭‭(Psalms‬ ‭150:1‬ ‭KJV‬)

The word firmament is also “rakia” in Hebrew and is also referring to the sky. The sky is a demonstration of God’s power. 
No rocket or missile fired against it can ever make a dent. Satan was cast out of heaven and is trying to find a way back up there. 

In order to get back above, he has to destroy the sky. That's what all the rocket and missile tests are about -- testing weapons to see if they are strong enough to penetrate the sky.  

Okay we’ve seen what the Bible says about the sky. Now what about the earth?

The Prophet Isaiah wrote the following: 

“It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in;” ‭‭(Isaiah‬ ‭40:22‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The verse above itself proves that the earth is not a globe. The earth is a flat circle. 
The word circle in the verse in the original Hebrew is “chug” which means a flat circle like a coin, or a compass.

你的妈妈要的是沟通。这个社会少的是面对面的沟通。

神的修复永远必定比我们失去的好，或多。

诗篇103:1-5 - 大卫的生命不容易。他被扫罗追杀。
神的恩典会引我们。他会透过耶稣的完工满满地祝福我们。
神早已知道你的生命会反转。你不必担忧。神的恩惠一定会领到你的。
你的罪已经被赦免了— 你可以白白地领受神的恩惠。我们是完全没有缺乏的。
耶稣已经为我们担当了一切的罪孽。
医学以后可能会发现新的疾病，可是上帝的十字架是超越时间，时空的— 耶稣已经为我们承担了所有的疾病。
神的恩惠慈爱紧随着我们。黑暗看到我们会害怕地解散。
神会使你像鹰一般返老还童。

“我的心哪！你要称颂耶和华；在我里面的一切，都要称颂他的圣名。我的心哪！你要称颂耶和华；不可忘记他的一切恩惠。他赦免你的一切罪孽，医治你的一切疾病；他救赎你的性命脱离死亡，以慈爱和怜悯作你的冠冕；他以福乐使你的心愿满足，以致你好象鹰一般恢复青春的活力。”‭‭（诗篇‬ ‭103:1-5‬ ‭CNVS‬‬）

哥林多后书‬ ‭4:18 - 看得见的是暂时的，看不见的是永远的。

Prophetic word from Pastor Prince: You need to slow down before it’s too late. 
Everything about you is moving at leopard speed when you’re supposed to be moving at a camel’s pace.
Stress can cause premature death. 

Some birds molt to replace old feathers with new feathers (a picture ofrenewal of youth). 
When birds are molting they need extra moisture. 
In a period of renewing your youth, you need more of the water of God’s word.

God gave us nights to sleep, not to play games or watch dramas. You can do those during daytime instead. 
God designed Sunday as a day for you to rest. 

The Hebrew word for heal, “Raphah”, contains the letters Resh (head/ man), Pey (mouth) and Hei (Grace).
The etymology for the word Raphah is Rapha which is the Hebrew word for relax. 

2 Corinthians 4:13 - The lack of blessing in a believer’s life is due to unbelief in an area of life. 
Faith is a very simple thing: you believe in your heart and you speak it out. 
Many believers believe but they don’t speak out what they believe — instead they complain about their circumstances.
Long before you see good things manifest in your life, it was already in your heart. 
If you don’t see it first as a vision in your heart, it will never happen in your life. 
God cannot lie. You can trust His word. 
Other believers speak, saying that they are blessed, but they don’t believe it. 

“But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, “I believed, and therefore I spoke.” We also believe, and therefore also we speak;” ‭‭(2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:13‬ WEB)

Many of us are experiencing delays and disappointments.
It’s not because God doesn’t care about you.
Jesus waited before going to Lazarus. It wasn’t because Jesus didn’t care about Lazarus.
It was so that God’s glory would be revealed in a greater way through him.
God wants to reveal Himself in a greater way to you. He wants to show and give you more!
One day you will look back and say, “Praise be to His holy name, because this disappointment turned out to be for my good!”

Quarrels are a normal part of marriage. Don’t be surprised if you argue with your spouse.

Marriage is God’s idea, not man’s idea. Man’s idea is to stay together and see if you’re okay together (co-habitation) — it won’t be okay.
There’s no such things as you’ll be 100% sure — there’s always a place for faith.

True love needs a solid foundation. Every marriage needs a third party and His name is Jesus.
All things are held together by Jesus Himself.
There is a force that holds atoms together which science has no explanation for.
The Bible says that in Christ, all things are held together.

This is the church life: Jesus, the local church and Israel.
This is the tripod model that every successful church and ministry is built upon.
Some ministries have no heart for Israel. Others make it all about Israel.
On the road to Emmaus, Cleopas and the other disciple made it all about Israel — it was as if Jesus was a side-issue — just a means to an end.
No, Jesus must be at the center, and all things will be held together in Him.

Firstly, congratulations on being born-again as a child of God!
Being a new Christian can be both exciting and confusing. 
You know that something good has happened — you just sense it somehow, but you’re not sure how everything works.

I’m not saying that this guide covers everything you need to know, but this will get you off on a good start, to point you in the right direction. 

The Bible is a book containing God’s words. Men living in different eras and different locations wrote different parts of this book. 
The whole Bible although having so many different authors, is a cohesive whole that agrees and tallies throughout. 

Back then without the internet or widely accessible records, it was impossible in the natural for the different authors to know what their predecessors wrote. 

Seeing how the whole Bible flows as one narrative is miraculous, and proves that the words in it were inspired by God Himself. 

I won’t include too many Bible verses as you’re a new believer, but just some important ones that I feel are crucial and bite-sized enough for you to digest at this early point in your journey as a Christian. 

Okay, let’s begin! 

耶稣的名字的意思是拯救。

在耶稣基督里，我们是个新造。我们要承认耶稣所做的，不是医生所说的。
我们每天要选择吃生命树的果实。

神选择负责我们的罪因为他爱我们。

福音就是好消息：耶稣为我们死亡，埋葬，复活。

这世界只能给你暂时的舒缓。只有耶稣可以给你心里的安息。

在末时里，魔鬼要给我们超越的知识，让我们无法为自己思考，寻求耶稣。

神要我们听他的福音，因为我们的心思意念一直被这个世界冲击。

耶稣来给我们更丰盛的生命。恩典是神主动的。神要服侍你。

我们听神的话语的目的不是为了累计知识。
是为了领受耶稣的恩典，让我们把它活出来。

罗马书‬ 4:13 - 我们的义是因相信耶稣而来的。我们继承世界是因为我们属于耶稣。

“原来神给亚伯拉罕和他后裔承受世界的应许，并不是因着律法，而是借着因信而来的义。”（罗马书‬ ‭4:13‬ ‭CNVS‬‬）

加拉太书 3:29 - 如果你相信基督，你就是亚伯拉罕的后裔。你是上帝的继承人。我们白白得着。

“如果你们属于基督，就是亚伯拉罕的后裔，是按照应许承受产业的了。”‭‭（加拉太书‬ ‭3:29‬ ‭CNVS‬）

十字架是个“加”号— 神加给你你从来没有的。一切都是上帝供应我们的。
这些祝福是透过因信的义而给你的。

罗马书‬ 3:23-24 - 耶稣已经使你永远称义。这是不可失去，不能逆转的。
以前你是罪人。你如今是个义人。我们的善意是登不了天的。

“因为人人都犯了罪，亏缺了　神的荣耀，但他们却因着　神的恩典，借着在基督耶稣里的救赎，就白白地称义。”‭‭（罗马书‬ ‭3:23-24‬ ‭CNVS‬‬）

罗马书6:14 - 我们的罪得赦免了。罪必不能辖制我们。

“罪必不能辖制你们，因为你们不是在律法之下，而是在恩典之下。”（罗马书‬ ‭6:14‬ ‭CNVS‬‬）

相信你在耶稣基督里是公义的。当你专注这个真实，神会把全部的祝福都加给你。

Home-school your child if it is possible. Pastor Prince would have home-schooled his son Justin but Justin just loves to be around people too much. A school environment is more suitable for him.

God’s heart is for you to live the life that He planned for you. 
He has good plans for you, to give you a future and a hope. 

3 John 1:2 - God wants us to prosper and be in health.
Jesus was the will of God in action when He was on earth, and He never gave anyone a disease. 
What was the will of God then is the will of God today. 
Religious, hypocritical people preach that God doesn’t heal today, until it’s them that need healing — then they run around trying to get healed. 

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.” ‭‭(3 John‬ ‭1:2‬ ‭WEB)

Pastor Prince called out healing for these conditions: right leg with pain moving up and down, neck that cannot turn fully to the left or right, lower back pain, joint conditions, clogged arteries, watery eyes and a bone condition that needed a hip replacement surgery.

Faith is thanking the Lord even before you sense it.

Sometimes the testimony from our mouths can trigger the miracle for others who hear it. 

The way out of your bondage is not a what, but a Who, and His name is Jesus.

赞美和崇拜的歌曲:
1）当我仰望

今天我们享受祝福，不是因为我们好，是因为上帝善。

耶稣不是要给我们一个重教 -- 他来给我们的是生命。

我们要专注的不是自己必须做什么、而是耶稣的完工。

上帝要给你身体健康和一生不缺乏。神是多么的紧张要祝福你 -- 是他先主动的。
当我们安息，神就会来服侍我们。

神要你坐下来休息。他会把你的仇敌变成你的脚凳。

当你听福音，神会在你生命中动工。听就可以了。

如果我们失去了什么，神会五倍地修补我们。

在十字架上，耶稣已经担当了你的罪和问题。

当你的思维错了，你做的决定也会是错的。

耶稣来世不是为了被服侍，而是为了服侍别人。
你的表现是不好的。让耶稣来洗你的脚。你只要感激地领受。

怎么做神的工？相信耶稣就是做神的工。

当你相信耶稣爱你，信心就会自然的来了。信心是个果子。

不是你祷告多久，读过多少经文-- 是耶稣完成了没有。
