信心是从听耶稣基督的福音而来。相反的，惧怕是从听世界的话而来。

把你的信心放在神的应许里。神的话语是我们脚前的灯，路上的光。

不要靠自己的智慧和理性。靠圣灵的引领。

使徒行传‬ ‭11:28 - 神可以告诉你关于未来的事。

“其中有一个名叫亚迦布的站起来，借着圣灵指出天下将要有大饥荒；这事在革老丢时期果然发生了。”（使徒行传‬ ‭11:28‬ ‭CNVS‬‬）

创世记‬ 41:30-31 - 圣灵永远与我们同在，可是我们需要选择靠他引领我们。
我们要调合注意听神的声音而不是世界的声音。

“接着又必有七年饥荒；甚至埃及地所有的丰收都被人忘记了，饥荒必把这地毁灭。 因为接着而来的饥荒太严重了，使人不觉得这地有过丰收。”‭‭（创世记‬ ‭41:30-31‬ ‭CNVS‬‬）

当你跟随耶稣，你会越来越健康。

如果你生命里缺乏神的祝福，是因为你不相信神的应许。

当你心情好，吃什么都香。不需要吃山珍海味。
神给我们嗅觉是让我们享受他的祝福。

世界不会变好的。我们不是听新闻而知道未来。神的话语已经告诉我们未来的事。

圣灵可以给我们内外的平安，让我们得到好的成功—我们有命来享受祝福。

很多人不会怎么休息—他们有亏欠感，觉得自己不可以停下来。

神要给我们内外的好本质。你穿一身西装，身体里面充满毛病也没用。

耶稣的完工把我们一生的罪都删除掉了。

​(Originally preached on 26 November 2014)

John 1:17 - The Law was given from a distance, but Grace (Jesus) came in person.
The Law is true, but Grace is the truth that will set you free.

“For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.” ‭‭(John‬ ‭1:17‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

A servant (Moses) can tell you what claims and demands the Master has upon you, but it takes the Son to unveil the heart of God.

Exodus‬ ‭32:30‬ - Moses wasn’t sure (he said “perhaps”) that he could make atonement for Israel, whereas our Lord Jesus went up to the cross sure that He would make atonement for us.

“On the next day, Moses said to the people, “You have sinned a great sin. Now I will go up to Yahweh. Perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin.”” ‭‭(Exodus‬ ‭32:30‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Moses had 2 occasions of 40 days with God—1) Moses came down because of Israel’s idolatry, 2) Moses came down from Mount Sinai after receiving all commandants and statutes from God.
Jesus also had 2 occasions of 40 days with God—1) the testing from the devil in the wilderness.
Jesus came out of the 40 days with the power to bless.
2) Jesus spent 40 days with the disciples on earth after His resurrection.
40 is the number of testing, trial or probation.

Jesus was not tempted to sin. He was tested by the devil.
Jesus had no sin nature, so there was no stirrings inside Him when the devil tried to tempt Him.
Jesus was born of a virgin, being totally free from sin from birth.
Jesus is impeccable. It’s not that He would not sin—He could not sin.
Jesus is like a pure gold bar, tested and verified that there is no impurity in Him.

It’s not enough to know a person’s ways. You must know the person’s heart.
Does God judge and discipline? Yes. But He doesn’t punish believers.

Today the world is interested in creation. In the whole Bible, only only one chapter was dedicated to creation—Genesis 1.
However, Moses wrote 7 chapters dedicated to God’s redemption—Exodus 25-31, corresponding to Moses’ 40 days on Mount Sinai.

Deuteronomy 9:8-12 - During the period of Egypt to Sinai, God dealt with Israel by pure Grace.
There was no record that God was ever angry with them during that time.
Israel kept sinning against God during that time, but God just kept providing for their needs.
It was not dependent on Israel’s goodness, but on His goodness.
Had Israel said “Don’t bless us based on our faithfulness but on Your faithfulness,” God wouldn’t have given them the Law.
The Law was never given to justify man, but to expose man’s sinfulness.
The Law results in the wrath of God. Do you want to be under Law or Grace?
How can we be fulfilled by the shadow (Law), when the substance (Grace) has already been given?
Moses had the Grace to fast for 40 days and 40 nights.
Read the Four Gospels—in the presence of Jesus, no one died. In His presence there is healing and even resurrection.
To partake unworthily of Holy Communion means to act as though your sins are not already all forgiven.
Moses only received the tablets of the Ten Commandments at the end of the 40 days.
Moses broke the two tablets of the Ten Commandments and God wasn’t angry.
If Moses had brought the tablets into the camp, all the children of Israel would have died—the Law is the ministry of death.
Whoever was on Moses’ side gathered to him (specifically the tribe of Levi), and they slew 3000 people who insistent on worshiping the golden calf.
On the other hand, when the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Day of Pentecost, 3000 souls were saved.
The second time Moses came down from the mountain with the new tablets of the Law, Moses put them in the Ark of the Covenant—a picture of our sins covered and forgiven because of the blood of Jesus Christ.

“Also in Horeb you provoked Yahweh to wrath, and Yahweh was angry with you to destroy you. When I had gone up onto the mountain to receive the stone tablets, even the tablets of the covenant which Yahweh made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water. Yahweh delivered to me the two stone tablets written with God’s finger. On them were all the words which Yahweh spoke with you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly. It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Yahweh gave me the two stone tablets, even the tablets of the covenant. Yahweh said to me, “Arise, get down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have corrupted themselves. They have quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them. They have made a molten image for themselves!”” ‭‭(Deuteronomy‬ ‭9:8-12‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Israel boasted in their ability to do anything that God wanted (Exodus 19).
They pledged obedience to whatever contract without seeing it first.
Right after that, God covered the mountain in a dark cloud and said that whoever approached would die. Before that, God never did this.
What was the result of Israel’s boasting? They committed idolatry by making a golden calf to worship.

Under Grace, we can draw near to God and receive more life—it is a new and living way.
The blood of bulls and goats only provides a temporary covering.
The blood of Jesus provides a lasting forgiveness.
The blood of Jesus has made us totally righteous.
God the Father is so pleased with Jesus’ finished work.
We are no longer under Law, but under Grace. We are sons, not just servants.
​

Brother Yun (his real name is Liu Zhenying) is the bestselling author of the inspiring autobiography "The Heavenly Man". Millions of copies have been read and have ignited the faith of multitudes of believers worldwide. Yun's life story is like a modern day book of Acts story about the apostle Paul. I love the book and highly recommend you read it.Click Here to get it on Amazon. 

I took these notes at Kingdom Invasion Trilogy Part II and paid S$35 for the ticket to attend the event in the morning. The night sessions were open to all and free to attend.  

Brother Yun’s spiritual name is Samuel which his mother gave to him when he was saved at 17.

God spoke to him telling him to go to the east and west to testify of Jesus.
At that time, China was not as open as it is today.
Chairman Mao wasn’t afraid of those who had money or power. He was afraid of those who had faith.
At that time, all churches were forcibly closed and Christian pastors and preachers were thrown into prison. 

Yun’s mother was saved through the preaching of a Norwegian preacher, and because of the persecution, she didn’t dare to publicly confess her faith in Jesus. 

Those who really have encountered Jesus know that they can’t go to sleep so easily and that they have a burden to go about doing the Lord’s work in their lives.

In China it’s different from the culture of the West. At that time, whatever your mother says is like the law. There is a strong belief in submission to parents.
Yun couldn’t be dissuaded from his intention to preach the Gospel, so his mother had no choice but to kneel down and pray with him for protection as he shares the Gospel.

Yun’s father was miraculously healed of cancer.

At 17, Yun preached to a village and many signs and wonders happened. 20 people were healed and even demon-possessed people who torn their clothes were freed. 

At 17, Yun memorized the whole of the Gospel of Matthew. He didn’t know what to do as a believer. 

At that time if you preached Jesus, it was illegal and you would have been arrested by the police for being a “counter-revolutionary”.

Yun was just a simple, poor farmer boy, but he was highly wanted for arrest by the state because he was seen as a counter-revolutionary. 

At 21, Yun had no way to go home because he was a fugitive. 

The people Yun evangelized to were also farmers. 

Even though Yun had no education, God called him to teach God’s word and make disciples.

The people at that time were all quaking in fear because of impending arrest at any time.

At that time there was no television, but there was radio broadcast. The state broadcaster a warning that whoever associated with Yun would be arrested.

Every believer should have at least 3 Bibles: a clean one, one messy one with many annotations and notes inside, and a Bible hidden in your heart.

1 Peter 2:9 - This verse has been very important to the house churches in China. Through this, they know that they are not just simple village people, but people of Heaven. 
They know that they are called to intercede for their nation. 
God has chosen us that we might come out of darkness and sin, into the kingdom of glorious light.
Many people thought that they were just simple village people. 
Yun told them to memorize and read God’s word.
Everyone is called to testify of Jesus and witness about Him.
At that time, the fire of the Holy Spirit began to burn in their hearts.
Are you willing to pay the price for following Jesus? 
We will be persecuted for believing in the Gospel—it’s not just about receiving blessings.
Are you willing to be a martyr for the Lord? Don’t just be willing to preach the Gospel—be willing to die for the Gospel if necessary. 
The believers in China had to memorize the Bible because if they were thrown in prison, they wouldn’t have access to a physical Bible.
We need to put the word of God in our hearts.

“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:” ‭‭(1 Peter‬ ‭2:9‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Yun was arrested for his faith on Christmas Day. As he was crying out to Jesus to save, the Lord spoke in his heart: “My child, I know. Don’t be afraid.”
That was the very first time he heard God call him His child. 
All fears melted away in an instant. 

What a person receives a word from the Lord, it’s forever imprinted in one’s heart.

On that day of his arrest, Yun shouted “I am a Heavenly Man!” when interrogated by the police for his background.

Yun was incarcerated for 4 times and spent a total of 10 years in prison for his faith. 
He is thankful that God gave him a precious name like “The Heavenly Man”.
Yun would tell the police that he lived in “The Gospel Village”. 
He prophesied that China would become a Gospel village.
When asked what is his father’s name, Yun would say, “Full of Grace” (满恩典).
When asked what is his mother’s name, Yun would say, “Faith, Hope, Love” (信望爱）
Yun would say that his older brother’s name is “Jesus is Coming Soon” (盼望耶稣再来).

The Gospel is not just about prospering you. It’s like a coin with both sides. There’s also persecution that we face for our faith.

Yun has two children. Their names are Isaac and Yilin.
At the time when Isaac was born, Yun was arrested and thrown into prison.
At that time, the state could have sentenced him to death for being a ‘counter-revolutionary’. 
Yun is thankful for family members that loved Jesus so much and were praying for him.

At that time, in the village, they didn’t know about dating. 
Yun had an arranged marriage.
He asked if his wife Deling would be willing to marry him as he was a preacher who followed Jesus, and she agreed. 

In China there was the One-Child Policy, and the state wanted to force Deling to abort her child. 
Deling gave birth to her son prematurely. He was only seven months of age. 

The guards in prison asked Yun to give his son a name. 
That time when Yun heard the news that his wife had given birth to a son, he cried tears of gratefulness.
Yun didn’t have any worldly possessions, so he offered his life to God.
Yun dedicated his son to God, and God spoke to him, telling him that his son’s name will be “Isaac”.
Yun thought he wouldn’t have a chance to meet his son. He wrote a letter telling his son that he wasn’t a criminal, and that he was arrested because he believed and preached the Gospel.
He encouraged his son to follow the Lord and shine as a light for Jesus.

In this dark generation, Yun declared that Isaac would bring light to the world. 
Yun is thankful that both his children are pastors and worshippers of Jesus.
Isaac is being mightily used in Germany for the Lord.
There are some believers from Iran and Iraq in Isaac’s newly-established church. They believed in Jesus and were baptized in water immediately.

At that time in China, many believers turned their back on Jesus and even persecuted Christians.
Yun’s in-laws mocked his family for their faith.
Instead of feeling angry, Yun was determined to love them. 

Yilin got her name from the Biblical story whereby the children of Israel passed by a place called Mara and Elim in the wilderness.

Bitterness gives birth to dissent and gives birth to lies. All these come from Satan. 
We don’t want to be born in Mara (bitterness).
Elim was a place near to Mara.

Whenever Yun called his son’s name, we was reminded that he (Yun) was called to serve the Lord, and whenever he called his daughter’s name, he was reminded that was not to live in bitterness.

1）看十字架

神准备给你的祝福是量身定做的。他是多么爱你的天父。

你的生命是不平凡的。我们有天父的 DNA。
当我们接受了耶稣，我们已经重生了。天父成为我们的父亲。

圣灵无时无刻都与我们同在。

马太福音 12:9-13 - 你生命里有什么枯干了？耶稣要医治它。
当我们出了问题，耶稣把我们像那只跌进坑的羊一样地看待和拯救。
对耶稣来说，人比动物贵重多。

“耶稣离开那里，来到他们的会堂。 会堂里有一个人，他的一只手枯干了。有人问耶稣：“在安息日治病，可以吗？”目的是要控告耶稣。 耶稣回答：“你们当中有哪一个，他仅有的一只羊在安息日跌进坑里，会不把羊抓住拉上来呢？ 人比羊贵重得多了！所以，在安息日行善是可以的。” 于是对那人说：“伸出手来！”他把手一伸，就复原了，好象另一只手一样。”（马太福音‬ ‭12:9-13‬ ‭CNVS‬‬）

当你的心里的结被打开，外面的结也会被超自然地打开。

你心里有什么画面？

我们得到的祝福是靠着神的应许，白白地领受的。

神不要我们靠自己的能力来赚取他的祝福。

耶稣不会因为别人说什么而不祝福你。

When you hear the Gospel, it’s not just about listening through, but listening in, so that the revelation goes into your heart.

The world gives us bad news, but the house of God gives us a different perspective.

The house of God is the gate of Heaven. Angels come up and down Jacob’s ladder (Jesus) to carry our prayers to God and bring blessings down to us.

God wants us to renew our minds. It’s not about what we do, it’s about what we believe.

The Lord wants His people to slow down before it’s too late.
Leopards run fast but live short lives. Be like a relaxed camel or tortoise that lives long.

50% of residents in Singapore feel stressed out at the thought of doing nothing. People cannot rest.
People have a fear of missing out (FOMO) on what is going on in the world.

52% feel stuck in their daily routines.

74% wish they could spend more time with their family and loved ones.

People are procrastinating their rest until they receive the breakthroughs in life they are waiting for — it is costing their health and relationship.

Even when people go for vacations overseas, some are still so busy trying to rush to tourist attractions, still in work-mode.

Many arguments arise because of unrest in the heart, causing an unpleasant tone in speech.

Don’t replace Jesus in your life, even with ministry. We need Grace to enjoy Jesus and rest in His presence.

趁还来得及，请放慢速度和心态。

我们的头脑不是电脑 — 不能随时关机。日有所思，夜有所梦。

神要你进入他的安息。

当你感到心急，定罪感，你说话的口气也会被影响 — 说两句话就吵架。

希伯来书‬ ‭4:1-3‬ - 当你终于进入神的安息，你就会得救。赶快信吧，因为神要供应你。
相信你已经拥有你需要的。
不是你不够忠心，是你没有信心。
恩典的意思是：我们不配得到神的祝福，可是我们透过耶稣的完工而得到了。

“所以，那进入安息的应许，既然还给我们留着，我们就应该战战兢兢，恐怕我们中间有人像是被淘汰了。 因为有福音传给我们，像传给他们一样，只是他们所听见的道，对他们没有益处，因为他们没有用信心与所听见的打成一片 。 然而我们信了的人，就可以进入那安息。正如　神所说： “我在烈怒中起誓说， 他们绝不可进入我的安息！” 其实　神的工作，从创立世界以来已经完成了。”（希伯来书‬ ‭4:1-3‬ ‭CNVS‬‬）

约翰壹书 2:1-2 - 耶稣是我们的公义。我们是永远公义的。我们不需要有定罪感。

“我的孩子们，我写这些给你们，是要你们不犯罪。如果有人犯了罪，在父的面前我们有一位维护者，就是那义者耶稣基督。 他为我们的罪作了赎罪祭，不仅为我们的罪，也为全人类的罪。”（约翰壹书‬ ‭2:1-2‬ ‭CNVS‬‬）

希伯来书‬ 4:6 - 你需要相信，才能得到福音的功效。

“既然这安息还留着要让一些人进去，但那些以前听过福音的人，因为不顺从不得进去；”（希伯来书‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭CNVS‬‬）

希伯来书‬ 4:11-16 - 如果你要享受安息，你要记得你跟神有关系。
如果你不相信耶稣是你及时的帮助，你永远不会进入神的安息。

“所以，我们要竭力进入那安息，免得有人随着那不顺从的样子就跌倒了。 因为　神的道是活的，是有效的，比一切两刃的剑更锋利，甚至可以刺入剖开魂与灵，关节与骨髓，并且能够辨明心中的思想和意念。 被造的在　神面前没有一样不是显明的，万有在他的眼前都是赤露敞开的；我们必须向他交帐。 我们既然有一位伟大的、经过了众天的大祭司，就是　神的儿子耶稣，就应该坚持所宣认的信仰。 因为我们的大祭司并不是不能同情我们的软弱，他像我们一样，也曾在各方面受过试探，只是他没有犯罪。 所以，我们只管坦然无惧地来到施恩的宝座前，为的是要领受怜悯，得到恩惠，作为及时的帮助。”‭‭（希伯来书‬ ‭4:11-16‬ ‭CNVS‬‬）

我们总是不敢放慢速度，因为我们害怕不能有好的成果。
你不需要一直靠你自己的力量。神没有叫你每天拼事业。信靠耶稣。

诗篇 1:2-3 - 诗篇有150章。第一章已经告诉我们重点了。
神要我们默念他的话语。

“他喜爱的是耶和华的律法， 他昼夜默诵的也是耶和华的律法。 他像一棵树，栽在溪水旁， 按时结果子， 叶子总不枯干； 他所作的一切，尽都顺利。”（诗篇‬ ‭1:2-3‬ ‭CNVS‬‬）

腓立比书‬ ‭4:19 - 如果主要你做的，他必定供应。没有信心的人不会进入神的安息。

“我的　神必照他在基督耶稣里荣耀的丰富，满足你们的一切需要。”（腓立比书‬ ‭4:19‬ ‭CNVS‬‬）

You are called for an assignment.

Psalm 36:7-9 - The shadow of His wings is a picture of protection.
The words “loving kindness” in Hebrew is hesed which means Grace.
When you have a revelation of God’s Grace, the supernaturally natural response is to have faith in God’s protection.
There is a bountiful feast always prepared for God’s children in the house of God.
The word “pleasures” in Hebrew is the plural form of Eden.
You can enjoy the pleasures of Paradise in God’s house.
When you read or listen to God’s word, you will receive solutions to the problems that you’re facing, even if the word has nothing to do with your problem — in God’s light we will see light.

“How precious is your loving kindness, God! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures. For with you is the spring of life. In your light shall we see light.” ‭‭(Psalms‬ ‭36:7-9‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Luke‬ ‭24:18-27‬ - Cleopas and the other disciple were heading home on the road to Emmaus on the same day of Jesus’ resurrection.
The two disciples had a dim revelation of Jesus.
They only saw Jesus as a prophet, and they made Jesus just a side-issue — a means to an end of the restoration of Israel.
But Jesus called Himself the Christ.
Jesus then expounded from Moses (the first 5 books of the Old Testament) and the prophets to the two disciples.

“One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things which have happened there in these days?” He said to them, “What things?” They said to him, “The things concerning Jesus, the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people; and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. But we were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened. Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb; and when they didn’t find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. Some of us went to the tomb, and found it just like the women had said, but they didn’t see him.” He said to them, “Foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Didn’t the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?” Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.” ‭‭(Luke‬ ‭24:18-27‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Exodus 25:8-9 - In the first five Books of Moses, there’s only 2 chapters devoted to creation in the Book of Genesis, and many more chapters on redemption.
God opened the curtain of Heaven to show Moses the true furnishings of Heaven, so that he could build a replica on earth.
The tabernacle is built after a God-given pattern, based on what already exists in Heaven.

“Let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. According to all that I show you, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all of its furniture, even so you shall make it.” ‭‭(Exodus‬ ‭25:8-9‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

赞美和崇拜的歌曲:
1. 与你亲近就好
2. 无价之宝

当你看十字架，你的思维就会被打开。

在末时里，黑暗会遮盖大地。上帝的话语已经让我们晓明了。我们需要领受耶稣的光。

我们的肉体属于世上，可是我们的灵属于天上。

新闻一直播坏消息。如果我们不看到耶稣，我们只能进入越来越黑暗。

我们黑暗的过去无法阻止我们荣耀的未来。

你不是不够忠心，而是没有信心。
什么是相信：“我信，我说。”
有些人相信，可是没有说出来。
又有另一种人不相信，可以说很多话，假装相信。
如果你真地相信，你心里相信的话一定会从口里说出来了。

我们不是面向世界，而是面向天堂。

我们快要”被提”了，不要浪费时间和精力。知道被提的真实会洁净你的心。
不要为一条金链而跟别人吵架。天堂里的路都是纯金的。
天堂没有医院，坟场，因为天堂没有疾病或死亡。

很多人在等待突破。当你在等，应该怎么面对呢？
我们不需要心急或埋冤。
我们心中期待新的，其实是在期待突破。

神把亚伯拉罕从他的国家照出来因为他要他离开堕落的思想。

我们是不正常的人 — 我们是新造，拥有耶稣的健康和生命。

我们有一个说话的上帝。他一直在和我们沟通。

上帝创造我们的心是为了让我们容纳耶稣。

创世记‬ ‭14:17-18‬ ‭- 当你心里劳累疲倦的时候，耶稣就会来找你，服侍你。

“亚伯兰击败了基大老玛和与他联盟的王回来的时候，所多玛王出来，在沙微谷迎接他。沙微谷就是帝王谷。 撒冷王麦基洗德也带着饼和酒出来；他是至高神的祭司。”‭‭（创世记‬ ‭14:17-18‬ ‭CNVS‬‬）

创世记‬ ‭15:1-2‬ - 人的信心是上上下下的，可是神是我们不变的盾牌。

“这些事以后，耶和华的话在异象中临到亚伯兰说： “亚伯兰，你不要惧怕， 我是你的盾牌； 你的赏赐是很大的。” 亚伯兰说：“主耶和华啊，我一向都没有孩子，你还能赐给我甚么呢？这样，承受我家业的，就是大马士革人以利以谢了。””（创世记‬ ‭15:1-2‬ ‭CNVS‬‬）

当我们软弱时只需要转向耶稣，与他沟通。当我们软弱，神会给我们他的力量。

Jesus is the fairest of ten thousand, and altogether lovely.

It doesn’t matter how many times you have failed or sinned. God’s Grace and mercy is greater. He is the God of second chances.

We are not good in and of ourselves. God is good to us because of His own goodness.

The Hebrew word Hesed which is usually translated as loving-kindness and mercy in the Old Testament, is revealed as “Grace” in the New Testament.

The Gospel is not just the Gospel of Grace, but also the Gospel of Peace.

You can only understand the love of God the Father when you know how much He loves Jesus His Son — He gave up His Son at the cross, so that He can give us life.

God wants to give us peace. Thanks to Jesus’ finished work at the cross, God has become our Father, and we have peace with Him.

There is one fear that Christians are instructed to have: a fear of not entering in the rest from works-based justification that God has promised.

I wonder what’s the new hit song they have composed that is the equivalent of “Let It Go”? 
One thing I know is that it’s going to be super catchy and extremely attractive, and everyone around the world is going to be crazy over it. 

The world is so skilled at producing high-quality animation that captures the imagination and arrests the heart. That’s the danger of the quickly incoming Frozen 2. 

I have no qualms watching it myself because I know that it’s just for entertainment and I don’t covet magic or anything, but to a little child watching it, it is tempting them to seek magic.

The main character, Arendelle’s Queen Elsa, is a character designed based on the Snow Queen from Hans Christian Anderson’s fairy tale, who is basically a witch. 

Elsa was born with ice magic and is able to use these magical powers whether for good or evil. 

““‘Don’t turn to those who are mediums, nor to the wizards. Don’t seek them out, to be defiled by them. I am Yahweh your God.” ‭‭(Leviticus‬ ‭19:31‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

We know that magic and witchcraft is of the devil. He has an extent of supernatural power, but it is greatly inferior to God’s power.  

“The magicians tried with their enchantments to produce lice, but they couldn’t. There were lice on man, and on animal. Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is God’s finger:” and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he didn’t listen to them; as Yahweh had spoken.” ‭‭(Exodus‬ ‭8:18-19‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Try as he may, the devil can’t create life. His powers are no match for God’s. 
After all, he is a creature whereas God is the Creator. 

Should we allow our children to watch Frozen 2? I think it’s ok if they are able to understand that it’s purely for entertainment and enjoying a well-written, fictional story. 

However, if they don’t understand that, you may find them dressing up as Elsa after watching the movie, and pretending to have ice magical powers. 

Don’t underestimate what a sampling of the occult from a young age can lead to — it’s not just harmless fun. 
As they grow up, they may be tempted to seek hidden power from dark sources, such as playing with ouija boards, casting magical spells, or practicing witchcraft.  

Satan wants them hooked from young, so that they will be easier to tempt and deceive when they grow up.

“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs‬ ‭22:6‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The question I want to ask you is: Who is training up your child in the way he/she should go? 

Are they acquiring a taste for God’s word, or for the deceptions in the world? 

This is important because what they are trained in from young, will be difficult to  remove from their programming when they are old.
