Pastor River Jiang：New Life Daily Declaration — That They May Have Life More Abundantly

May 25 New Life Daily Declaration — That They May Have Life More Abundantly ● Pastor River Jiang

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” (John 10:10–11)

In this world, we were once without any hope. But Jesus Christ came to give us a brand new life. As the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, He died on the cross in our place, with the purpose of redeeming us from the dominion of the devil and giving us new life.

Jesus Christ said that He gives us life, and not only life—but life more abundantly. This is the Father’s intention: that we may receive the fullness of His Son.

In Adam, the devil gave us nothing of true value. There is nothing worth clinging to in the old life. Everything in Adam is temporal, burning with the fire of lust, driven by greed, or marked by selfishness and deceit. All such pursuits are destined to perish. There is no eternal value in them. They are not worthy of our longing, and offer no vision for the future.

But Jesus Christ came to give us life—eternal life. He is with us and leads us into the heavenly realm. He enables us to know Him more and draw continually from Him, so that we may grow in Him day by day, receiving more and more of God's attributes and being conformed to His image—the image of eternal life.

The mark of an abundant life is living out more of God's divine nature. God has imparted His attributes to us, so that we may live a life patterned after heaven. These divine attributes possess eternal worth—grace that the world can never purchase or replicate. God’s nature surpasses all things of the earthly realm and is the eternal pursuit of every believer.

Paul is a model of one who continually laid hold of God’s nature. He pressed on to know Christ, to gain Christ, and to live out Christ. He encouraged us to imitate him, just as he imitated Christ. Because of this, he was able to do the works of Christ, and signs and wonders followed his steps.

“Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For His sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ.” (Philippians 3:8)

Paul was convinced that everything in this world is rubbish compared to Christ. Nothing can compare to the worth of knowing Jesus. In this brief life, to know Christ is the only true treasure. All else, to him, was a waste of time and of no eternal value.

To know Christ is to know His attributes—His love, grace, faith, power, authority, glory, resurrection, redemption, holiness, and more. To live out Christ is to live out these divine attributes. Apart from knowing God’s nature, we cannot do anything truly spiritual. Without it, there will be no miracles, no wonders, and no true expression of Christ in our lives.

God’s nature is the radiant light of truth, and it is the new pattern for us as new creations in Christ. God’s will is for us to be like His only begotten Son—full of truth and glory, abounding in life, doing the works of heaven here on earth, expanding His Kingdom, and transforming the world through the life of Christ within us.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Pastor Jiang Yongliu：New Life Daily Declaration — Blessed in Christ

February 3, 2025 New Life Daily Declaration — Blessed in Christ By Pastor Jiang Yongliu

For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. (2 Corinthians 1:20, KJV)

Many seek the blessing of God, and healing from the Lord. They run to various evangelistic gatherings, desiring the anointing, and flock to meetings where famous ministers preach. And I do not oppose this desire to seek after God, to know Him more, to encounter His power and behold His mighty works.

But I would rather encourage thee to know Christ and to diligently read thy Bible. For without the truth—yea, without living out Christ—thou canst not be blessed, even though the Scriptures are full of promises. And perhaps thou dost wonder in thy heart: Why have I not received greater blessing? Why have I not been healed? Why doth God bless others more than me?

But the truth is, thou hast not truly believed the Word of God. His Word is before thee—alive and eternal, even in thy Bible. Yet thou hast not received it. How then canst thou be blessed?

Thou mayest say, “Nay, Pastor, I know many verses. Yet why have the blessings not come?” Beloved, be not anxious. The Word of God is life—it is not as the knowledge of this world. Perhaps thou hast treated the truth as mere information, and not as life. But if thou regardest God’s Word as life, thou wouldest live it out. And unless thou livest out the Word, thou canst not walk in blessing.

God shall not set aside His Word to meet thy demands. He shall not contradict His Word, for His Word is Himself. If His Word be not within thee—if it hath not become the power of thy life—then thou canst not inherit that which it promiseth.

When thou esteemest His Word and livest out the reality of the new life, thou livest the life of Christ. And if thou esteemest His Word, yet failest to walk as Christ walked, His Word shall not profit thee. Remember this always: to know the Word of God is to know Christ. The Word is living—it is Christ Himself.

Many among us know not how to know Christ. We see not that the Word reveals Christ; we fail to see that as new creatures, we are blessed in Christ, and blessed by living His life. And thus we lose the very principle of bearing fruit.

All that we have is from Christ. He is the Vine, and we are the branches. The branch cannot grow or bear fruit of itself. Without Christ, ye can do nothing. Even if thou hast believed for many years, unless thou abidest in Him, thou shalt see no fruit.

The key to our blessing is that the Word of God must live in us. We must live the life of Christ, and do the works that Jesus did. God desires us to live the new life—that is, the life of Christ. This is the life that is blessed, the life worthy of all promises.

The old man can never be blessed. It is the new life that is the seed of God, born of the promise, the returning prodigal son, welcomed into the Father's house to enjoy freely all that He hath. For God delights in the new life within us—that holy and righteous life, which is the very life of Christ.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Pastor Jiang Yongliu：The Good Shepherd

February 2 New Life Daily Declaration — The Good Shepherd ● Pastor Jiang Yongliu

Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. When He saw the crowds, He had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. (Matthew 9:35–36)

In those days, Jesus Christ went about preaching the gospel and healing all kinds of diseases among the people. He said they were like sheep without a shepherd. These people were physically weak, lacking strength, evidently unhealthy, unprotected, and living in constant insecurity—with no guarantee for anything in their lives.

Sheep that are cared for by a shepherd are always well-nourished, strong, and full of energy. They receive timely feeding and are protected from all harm. They live in peace, under the watchful eyes of the shepherd, enjoying a life free of worry.

And Jesus Christ is the best Shepherd. He said, "The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." He not only healed every disease among the people, but also took our place, becoming like a sinner, and was nailed to the cross. He did all this so that we may live in His peace, His power, and His love.

Through redemption, Jesus Christ brought us into His world, so that we may live in Him. In Him, we enjoy the abundance of His love and grace, the fullness of His blessings and power. In Him, we are supplied and satisfied, filled with joy in our hearts.

He is the Good Shepherd who has brought us into the land of grace, the land of life, the land of healing, and the land of power.

The Good Shepherd has come. He was wounded for our diseases, and He rose from the dead so that in Him, we are all healed. He took our poverty and raised us up with Him, granting us all things, so we may enjoy His abundance. He bore the punishment we deserved, so we may live in everlasting peace through His resurrected life. He suffered the curse in our place, so we may enjoy blessings and grace in His life.

The Good Shepherd has come. He has seated us with Him in the heavenly places and granted us the privilege of reigning with Him. This is the victorious life of living with the eternal King—walking and working together with Him. The King who rules over the entire universe now dwells with us. We partake of His authority and power, of His righteousness and peace. What an honor! What acceptance! What love and favor we have received!

The Good Shepherd has come. He has completely redeemed us from the land of slavery and from every circumstance that was against us. He has brought us to a place of victory, placing our enemy, the devil, under our feet. Those who once enslaved us are now trampled under us. The enemy who once afflicted us with sickness and suffering is now a permanent loser, humiliated and powerless before us. Today, the devil is a defeated foe, and through Christ we have turned defeat into victory—we are more than conquerors!

The Good Shepherd has come. He shares everything He has with us, allowing us to enjoy all His benefits. He has not withheld even a single good thing from us. He empowers us to live in His image and to enjoy the riches of the Kingdom of Heaven. He enables us to see God face to face, to be called God’s beloved children, to walk in His righteousness, and to be a blessing to the nations.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Pastor Jiang Yongliu：Religious Preaching

January 31: New Life Daily Declaration — Religious Preaching ● Pastor Jiang Yongliu

"The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God." (2 Corinthians 4:4)

Undoubtedly, many pastors and preachers have fallen into the devil’s trap. They no longer proclaim a life that lives out the mighty power of Christ, nor preach a lifestyle accompanied by signs and wonders, nor teach that every person should do the works of Jesus Christ.

When preaching, people often assume a problem exists and then discuss human shortcomings as the cause. For instance, a pastor might say, "If you’re facing financial troubles, it’s because you haven’t tithed enough, so God isn’t blessing you." Or, "It’s because you haven’t been actively attending church, so God has taken away your wealth." In short, it’s your fault.

Of course, pastors may also say, "Perhaps your health issues are due to your lack of church attendance, leading to spiritual weakness, or they’re the result of your sins." Yet, many problems that befall believers are seen as God’s discipline, His good will, or His loving correction.

Some pastors even claim, "The disasters you face are deserved." They argue that many don’t deserve suffering because suffering refines a person, acting as a sharpening stone that fosters maturity.

In reality, these pastors don’t know Christ at all. They don’t teach people to know Christ or live out His life. Instead, they speak for the devil. They won’t tell believers that sickness and suffering come from the devil, the source of all problems and troubles. Rather, they attribute the devil’s works to God, claiming God intentionally brings trouble upon His children to make them more mature. Naturally, they’ll also say your lack of faithfulness to God has led to His discipline.

These pastors won’t let you know the devil is an evil entity. Ignorant of both God and the devil, they take up the role of pastor. We can see that the fall of Christian pastors is unprecedented. They preach feel-good platitudes, analyze cases through psychological logic, and cite a single Bible verse to draw conclusions.

In truth, their teachings are no different from those of other religions, focusing on changing the heart without pointing people to knowing Christ. They emphasize recognizing your shortcomings instead of teaching you to live out Christ’s life. Pastors have grown accustomed to religious preaching, and over time, they see themselves as authoritative, spouting lofty wisdom, logic, and philosophy—yet they lack power, offering hollow, tasteless words.

This has led to the catastrophic failure of Christianity. People’s illnesses go unhealed, mental struggles find no deliverance, and marital issues remain unresolved. Christians have become targets for the devil to steal, kill, and destroy.

Because people don’t encounter Christ in church, they don’t know that to live is Christ. They don’t know how to discern the devil’s schemes or live a victorious life. Christianity has fallen into the devil’s trap, and pastors have become the devil’s spokespeople, his accomplices.

We must stop those who don’t know Christ and lack power from preaching. The church must restore the glory of Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Pastor Jiang Yongliu：Do Not Bypass Jesus

January 30: New Life Daily Declaration — Do Not Bypass Jesus ● Pastor Jiang Yongliu

"Without faith, it is impossible to please God, for whoever comes to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him." (Hebrews 11:6)

God does not want us to bypass Jesus in anything we do. He sent His only beloved Son into the world to redeem us from a lifestyle of self-reliance. However, when Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge, humanity began a life of pride and independence, relying entirely on their own wisdom, efforts, and good deeds to win God’s favor. From this, all religions were born. People thought good deeds could earn God’s pleasure, but in reality, this is a corrupt and fallen life far from God.

God created humans to work with Him, to be guided by His Spirit. His purpose in creating humanity was to live out His glory, and He created Adam as His spokesperson. When people depart from God’s presence, they lose His glory. Any action taken without relying on God, even sacrificing one’s life for others, is not remembered.

When Jesus Christ came, He told us that He is the vine, and we are the branches. Everyone who enters Christ lives out His life, draws strength from Him, and reflects His likeness. Whatever we do should express Christ.

Without faith, we cannot please God. If a person does not believe that Christ is our everything, our provision, they cannot receive God’s pleasure. We must believe that God is—our life, strength, wisdom, and the source of all our needs and satisfaction. Moreover, we believe that everything from God is ours through Christ.

Because of faith, we receive Christ and continue to receive Him, growing ever richer in life, becoming more like Christ, expressing Christ more, and living out His life, doing what Jesus did. Without receiving Christ, we cannot do what He did, and there will be no miracles, no manifestation of God’s glory, and no fruit for God.

God does not want us to rely on our own wisdom; He wants us to live out the life of His Son. God values life, not behavior. Any good deed not from God is filthy. Only by living out the life of God’s Son can there be true good deeds.

If you are not yet able to do what Jesus did, I encourage you to start knowing Christ. Everything we need is prepared in Christ; He can meet all our needs because He is. As new creations, we are “divinized.” We can no longer live by the flesh as we did before salvation, full of corruption. Through Christ’s redemption, we have entered a new realm—in Christ. We are connected to Christ, striving to know Him, receive Him, and grow in Him, becoming more like Him.

Christ is life, resurrection, grace, power, faith, wisdom, and everything we need. Without Christ, there is no victorious life. Any action that bypasses Christ is meaningless. Only Christ is our stronghold and our glory. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

[pastorjiangyongliu]

Pastor Jiang Yongliu：All in the Holy Spirit

January 29 - New Life Daily Declaration: All in the Holy Spirit ● Pastor Jiang Yongliu

As it is written, what God has prepared for those who love Him is what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human heart has conceived. But God has revealed it to us through His Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. (1 Corinthians 2:9-10)

We have all been redeemed by Jesus Christ into His life. As new creations, we all share in everything that belongs to Christ. Every person in Christ cannot live by the flesh or feelings but must live by faith. Living by faith means living out a brand-new self in the likeness of Christ.

However, we must recognize a crucial truth: we are now living in the Holy Spirit, which means living in Christ. On the surface, we may seem no different from our old selves, but in essence, everything about us has changed. For now, all that belongs to Christ is ours. We have received Christ’s life, Christ’s body, Christ’s wisdom, Christ’s faith, Christ’s authority, and Christ’s love and grace.

But why do so many people fail to live out the reality of Christ’s life? The reason is that they do not believe they are new creations in Christ. They do not understand what it means to have received Christ, and thus, they do not know how to live out Christ. Only when people truly know Christ and understand how to live out Christ through the Holy Spirit can they manifest the pattern of new life.

We are born of the Spirit, and everything in Christ is found in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ, the One who testifies of Christ and expresses Christ’s life.

Just as Jesus Christ has given us a brand-new body, He has taken our diseases in the spiritual realm, healed our sicknesses in the spiritual realm, and defined our bodies as the temple of the Holy Spirit. All of this has been perfectly accomplished in the spiritual realm. In truth, Jesus Christ has given us His health—the healthy new body He obtained through His resurrection.

When people fall ill, they often declare, “By His wounds, I am healed.” Yet, the sickness persists. What is the problem? Quite simply, they have not lived out Christ’s health through the Holy Spirit.

If you want to live out the health found in Christ, you must allow the Holy Spirit to work in your body. Believe that you have received Christ’s body, believe that your body is the holy and powerful temple of God, and the Holy Spirit will manifest what you believe.

When we seek to receive all that Christ has for us, it cannot be separated from the work of the Holy Spirit. You must remember this: unless the Holy Spirit moves, we cannot receive anything. If you want to live out Christ’s authority, without the mighty work of the Holy Spirit, that authority cannot be manifested. If you want to live out Christ’s faith, wisdom, and various gifts, it is impossible to fully express them without the work of the Holy Spirit. A person who claims to have faith cannot lack the power of the Holy Spirit. A person who claims to heal the sick or cast out demons cannot lack the evident power of the Holy Spirit. Without the movement of the Holy Spirit, people cannot live out Christ’s life, nor can they receive all that Christ has given.

Everything we need has been prepared in Christ, and all that is Christ’s belongs to us. The key is that we must continually believe in the mighty power of the Holy Spirit until Christ’s accomplishments are manifested in us. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Pastor Jiang Yongliu：New Life Daily Declaration — Descendants of Abraham

January 28 New Life Daily Declaration — Descendants of Abraham ● Pastor Jiang Yongliu

Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-Jireh (meaning "The Lord Will Provide"), and to this day it is said, "On the mountain of the Lord, it will be provided." (Genesis 22:14)

When God asked Abraham to offer his only beloved son, Isaac, as a sacrifice, Abraham took his son to the mountain in Moriah. Isaac asked his father, "The fire and the wood are ready, but where is the lamb?" Abraham replied, "God Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering."

The fire symbolizes judgment. The wood symbolizes the cross. The lamb symbolizes Jesus Christ. As Abraham’s only son, Isaac represents the truth that the Redeemer would come from Abraham’s descendants, and this Lamb of God must be born of man, for only a son of man can redeem humanity.

Through Abraham’s offering of Isaac, we see that Abraham understood God’s intention to use his son as a symbol. He clearly told Isaac that God would provide, and the lamb for the sacrifice would not be him.

Yet, when Abraham raised his knife to offer his son, an angel spoke from heaven, stopping him, for he had truly offered his son.

This seems contradictory. Abraham’s words to his son might appear deceptive, but in truth, what he said was real. If God did not provide the lamb, salvation would not be possible. Abraham’s act of offering his only son symbolized that from his descendants would come the Lamb of God. From the genealogy of Jesus Christ, we know that Isaac was an ancestor of Jesus.

Thus, we see that the offering of Isaac was real, and God’s provision of the lamb was also real. These symbolize Christ’s dual identity: one as the Lamb of God, the only begotten Son of God; the other as the Son of Man, a descendant of Abraham. Therefore, those whom Jesus Christ saves are also called descendants of Abraham.

As a recipient of God’s grace, Abraham’s days were exceedingly prosperous. His health, possessions, and wealth were unmatched in his generation. From having nothing, he gained abundant gold, silver, and camels, and God continually expanded his blessings, making him prosper in all things. Though his body was old and as good as dead, both he and his wife Sarah experienced rejuvenation.

Moreover, God promised that his descendants would be numerous and blessed. Undoubtedly, Abraham lived under God’s grace. The Redeemer of humanity was prepared by God under this grace. Through Abraham, God revealed Christ to us—this Christ is the Lamb prepared by God in His grace, leading humanity into the abundance of God’s grace, so that those who accept Christ as Savior receive the blessings of Abraham.

What a marvelous salvation, vividly revealed to us in Abraham’s time! The provision of this Lamb is not under the law, for the lambs under the law could only atone for sins once a year. But the Lamb from under grace is our eternal atonement, redeeming us into the lineage of Abraham’s descendants.

Jesus Christ, a descendant of Abraham, is the manifestation of God’s grace and power, the revelation of God’s abundant love, enabling us to prosper and find peace in Him, enjoying endless blessings and provision. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

pastor yongliujiang:Daily Declaration of New Life — The Great Reversal

January 25

Daily Declaration of New Life — The Great Reversal

● Pastor Jiang Yongliu

"For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." (Philippians 1:21)

Do you know a great truth that has happened to you and me? The moment we accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior, we bid farewell to our old self, farewell to the devil and all the bondage of dark powers, and we now belong to Christ.

Once, because of Adam's sin, we were all brought under the power of the devil, controlled by sin. Death, curses, poverty, and illness troubled mankind. The entire human race became the private property of the devil, endowed with the devil's nature. Violence, murder, jealousy, hatred, strife, fornication, lies, and other corrupt powers from the devil controlled people.

Mankind cannot escape the devil's control through the power of the flesh, which leads many people to live a life that is miserable, sorrowful, and helpless. Because mankind has been sold as slaves to sin, no longer belonging to God, all live in darkness without any light.

Now, by accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior, He has redeemed us from the power of darkness. Through Christ's resurrection, we have received new life, which is the life of God's Son, a life that overcomes death and all diseases and curses, a life that tramples on the devil, a life that reigns forever on the throne.

Facing the world, we must know an amazing fact: now it is no longer we who live, but Christ who lives in us. This marks that we who were once controlled by the devil, controlled by darkness, and weak are no longer the same. We have received eternal victorious life. Now we face the world as new creations, as children of God.

When the devil faces us, it no longer sees us as those it once bullied and hurt. It sees Christ who thoroughly defeated it, captured it, and stripped it of all authority. It sees the Mighty One on the throne, the Son of the living God who reigns forever, the Anointed One of God who destroys the devil's works.

Facing the devil, because Christ is our life, we have turned defeat into victory, we make the devil flee, we destroy the devil's works, we set the captives free and release the prisoners. Because Christ is our life, we display everywhere the virtues of Him who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light.

Everything is no longer the same. Even when we face the world, we must know that we face it with Christ's life. Therefore, we can command all things, speak to mountains, and issue commands to nature.

When we face the sick, we should know that it is Christ within us who faces them, the Lord who is accompanied by signs and wonders. Therefore, we can pray for the sick, heal the sick, cast out demons, make the blind see, the lame walk, tumors disappear, and raise the dead.

Now it is no longer we who live, but Christ who lives in us; to live is Christ. What a great reversal this is, what a glorious life. Now, because Christ is our life, all things begin to work for our good. We have become channels of God's grace, channels releasing the power of the kingdom of heaven. With the freedom of the kingdom, we have begun a new life of overwhelming victory. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Pastor Yongliu Jiang:New Life Daily Declaration – Victorious Life Through Union with God

January 24 New Life Daily Declaration – Victorious Life Through Union with God ● Pastor Yongliu Jiang

"But whoever is united with the Lord is one spirit with Him." (1 Corinthians 6:17)

We must understand this fundamental truth: only God is the ultimate conqueror of the devil. God is Spirit, the supreme Creator, the eternal Victor, the sovereign Ruler over the heavens, the earth, and all creation—the Lord who made all the worlds.

The devil, on the other hand, is a created being—a fallen spirit, a thoroughly corrupted being, an evil spirit steeped in sin, utterly devoid of righteousness, deceitful, murderous, thieving, and engaged in abominable acts.

Humanity, under the dominion of the devil, is completely powerless against this wicked and corrupt realm. Since the time Adam was taken captive by the devil, all of humankind has suffered hellish torment—death, disease, poverty, war, and plague ravage lives across the globe. Lies, murder, conspiracy, hatred, jealousy, and sexual immorality have thrown human society into utter chaos.

In sin, humanity has no way out, no hope, and no future. Life seems like nothing more than waiting for a painful death, because the devil has laid countless traps for mankind, increasing their burdens, and every life ends in unbearable suffering.

Only the coming of Christ brings true change. He first became like us, subjected Himself to the devil’s temptations, and overcame them. Just as Adam was tempted and failed, Christ—as the Redeemer—had to prove that He alone is the Truth. He is the Messiah, the true hope of mankind.

Yet the problem of sin had to be dealt with in order for humanity to be freed from the devil’s control. As sinners, we must pay the price of sin. We must be judged, experience death, and be cast into the depths of hell.

The Redeemer had to bear everything we were meant to suffer. Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, the Lamb prepared by God for mankind—without sin, wholly holy—took on human form and bore all our sins upon Himself. He took our place under judgment, endured death, and descended to the depths of hell. Only after humanity’s sins were cleansed in God’s eyes did He rise from the dead, carrying the keys of death and Hades.

Christ’s death was Him experiencing both spiritual and physical death on our behalf. His resurrection is our resurrection with Him. Through this resurrection, we receive the life of Christ—we receive His Spirit. We are united with Him in the likeness of His death, and also in the likeness of His resurrection.

This union makes us inseparable from Christ; this union makes us eternally one with Christ; this union places us with Christ in the heavenly realms. His eternally victorious life now belongs to us—we live because Christ lives in us.

It is precisely this union of life that enables us to live out a life that triumphs over the devil. Without union with Christ, humanity can never overcome the devil. Look—when people turn away from God and pursue medical science, they cannot truly heal the diseases brought by demonic forces. The deeper humanity dives into medical research, the more it falls into the trap of “overmedicalization.” Many have already lost faith in human medicine.

Only by being united with the Lord—becoming one spirit with Him—can we be truly victorious, free, and abundantly blessed and prosperous. For Christ is our life, and we live to manifest Christ.

In the name of Jesus Christ—Amen!

pastor yongliujiang:New Life Daily Declaration — Pressing Toward Perfection

January 22

New Life Daily Declaration — Pressing Toward Perfection Pastor Jiang Yongliu

"Therefore, leaving the elementary teachings about Christ, let us press on to perfection, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, faith toward God, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment." (Hebrews 6:1-2)

Paul tells those who are in Christ to completely abandon the elementary stages of faith and strive toward greater perfection and maturity. We should not remain in the basic knowledge we had when we first came to know Christ. For example, repentance from sin is no longer necessary, as we have accepted Christ as our life, left our identity as sinners behind, and been cleansed by the precious blood of Jesus Christ. We are now called righteous, so we should not be entangled in issues of sin.

We should also move beyond teachings about trusting God, for we have progressed from merely trusting God to being united with Christ, becoming one spirit with Him, and living out Christ’s life. Likewise, we should leave behind elementary teachings and experiences about water baptism, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. Baptism is complete—we have experienced water and Spirit baptism, and we understand the mystery of laying on hands to impart spiritual gifts and heal the sick. We also know the mystery of the resurrection: we have been raised with Christ and received new life, which has already happened, and the final resurrection will occur when Jesus Christ returns. As for eternal judgment, it has been completed for us—Jesus Christ bore the judgment for our sins and died on the cross in our place.

Furthermore, practices such as observing Jewish festivals, wearing sackcloth and ashes, or engaging in “heavenly courtroom” rituals are unprofitable and worthless. These man-made practices, which regress to Old Testament ways, are contrary to Christ. Under such corrupt and ignorant teachings, people cannot know Christ and obscure the truth of His redemption.

Many foundations built by human effort fail to help people know Christ or grow in Him. They nullify God’s grace with human piety, causing people to labor in vain and ultimately miss God’s grace and blessings.

"According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder, I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ." (1 Corinthians 3:10-11)

Paul’s ministry was to preach Christ, lead people to know Him, and help them grow in Him. We are to do the same. Each of us is built on the foundation of Christ, continually knowing Him, growing in Him, imitating Him, and living out His life.

We must understand how to build our lives in the life of Christ, striving to grow until we reach the full measure of Christ’s stature, filled with the Holy Spirit and truth, so that our every action reflects the risen Christ. We were created in Christ’s image and destined to live out His perfect life, becoming witnesses of His resurrection.

We are Christ’s masterpiece, inscribed with truth and power, radiating the glory of His life. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Daily Declaration of New Life — Abundant

January 21

Daily Declaration of New Life — Abundant Blessings

● Pastor Jiang Yongliu

"And you will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God." (2 Corinthians 9:11)

We are God's children, citizens of the heavenly kingdom, surrounded by God's abundant love. He wants His children to prosper and flourish during their time on earth, because everything He created was created for His children.

He has also given us the principles of wealth and prosperity, which is to continuously sow seeds. I was once a farmer, learning to farm alongside my father. My father told me that when sowing seeds, one must select the best seeds, those full of nutrients and vibrant with life. Good seeds cannot be sown carelessly; good soil must also be selected. The fields of our family were distributed in different locations, with varying soil conditions. Good seeds should be sown in fertile soil, and by autumn, they will yield the best harvest.

"He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully." (2 Corinthians 9:6) This saying is true.

God wants us to understand this principle of sowing and reaping a bountiful harvest. God calls the wealth in our hands "seeds." Good seeds planted in good soil will yield a hundredfold return. Sowing is God's wonderful design, allowing wealth to flow, allowing blessings to flow. The initiator of this principle is God Himself. He established this principle, and He is the one in charge. If anyone lives according to this principle, He will cause the seeds they sow to bear fruit a hundredfold as the ultimate reward. Thus, those who sow will have more seeds and will become increasingly prosperous. Where there is need in God's kingdom, people will sow money. Those who are poor and in need will receive more help.

God wants us to become a blessing to more people on earth. He wants us to give generously because the true provider of wealth is God Himself. When we bless God's work and bless this world, it is actually God releasing blessings through us. We are the channels through which God blesses this world; we are co-workers with God. God only acts through us. If we do not live out God's will, God will not act.

God's will is for us to be prosperous, to represent Him on earth, and to glorify Him. God wants to bless this world through us. First, He blesses us, making us abundant in all things, so that we can live out heavenly abundance, do more good works, and help the poor.

God will absolutely not violate His principles or His word to bless a person. He will not bless you because you are poor, in violation of His own word. He will not do this unless you follow His principles and treasure obedience to His word.

"'Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now in this,' says the LORD of hosts, 'if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it.'" (Malachi 3:10)

If you cannot live according to God's word, that is behavior that cannot be blessed. No matter what, without faith in God's word, you cannot receive anything. God's law of prosperity allows people to experience God's grace. He promises to open the windows of heaven for those who give generously, and God will absolutely not break His promise. When you manage wealth on behalf of Christ and bless God's church on behalf of Christ, greater financial opportunities will surely come to you. This is true. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Pastor Jiang Yongliu：Daily Declaration of New Life – Not Punching the Air – Pastor Jiang Yongliu

January 19 Daily Declaration of New Life – Not Punching the Air – Pastor Jiang Yongliu

"Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air." (1 Corinthians 9:26)

As Christians, we have all received profound revelation from Paul. His teachings center on justification by faith, the exaltation of Christ, and the knowledge of Christ as the way to live out Christ. Through Paul's epistles, we understand that without knowing Christ, we cannot know God. Without knowing Christ, we can do nothing.

From Paul's teaching we know that the mystery of God is Christ Himself. To know Christ is to know the mystery of God—it is to know the God of mystery.

"Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ." (Philippians 3:8)

Paul valued the knowledge of Christ above all else. He was determined to gain more of Christ because he regarded Christ as the greatest treasure. No pursuit in this world could compare to Christ. Therefore, he considered all things as rubbish—of no value when compared to Christ. The things of this world had lost their appeal to him because of Christ. His entire being was focused on knowing Christ and gaining Christ. That’s why he said he did not run aimlessly, nor fight like one beating the air—his aim was Christ, and he pursued Him with all his heart.

"Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:13–14)

When Paul said he wanted to know Christ and the power of His resurrection, even though he had already experienced that resurrection power, he still considered it not enough. We all know that resurrection power was at work in Paul to the point that he himself experienced rising from the dead.

"Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead. However, when the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe." (Acts 14:19–20)

Even after experiencing the resurrection power and surviving being stoned to death, Paul did not stop pursuing Christ. He longed to know Christ more deeply. Paul had only one goal, one direction: to gain more of Christ and do what Christ did.

Moreover, he said, “I do not fight like a man beating the air.” This means that his every word and deed was not in vain. He was not like someone throwing empty punches. He lived out the power of Christ’s life, the glory of Christ’s life. He preached the gospel, healed the sick, and signs and wonders confirmed the message he preached.

"And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God." (1 Corinthians 2:4–5)

When Paul preached, he did not rely on his own eloquence, intellect, or philosophical arguments. He did not offer emotional comfort or sound like a man full of knowledge. His preaching was a demonstration of the Holy Spirit’s power. People were convinced and turned to Christ because of the power of God's Word released through him, accompanied by signs and miracles. He did not merely speak about Christ—he revealed the living Christ to the people.

Paul truly is our example. He is a model of someone whose heart was full of Christ, who lived out Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Pastor yongliujiang:January 18th Daily Declaration of New Life — Putting the Devil in His Place

● Pastor Jiang Yonglu

"Therefore it says, 'When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men.'" (Ephesians 4:8)

The Bible says we have tribulations in this world, and the source of these tribulations is the devil. When we were sinners, we were all under the devil's power, all controlled by sin, all enslaved by the devil. But Jesus Christ came and redeemed us from the devil's power, redeemed us from the power of sin and death, and gave us a completely new life—His completely victorious life, powerful life, eternally reigning life.

For this reason, though we face challenges every day, we are always victorious, always eliminating the devil's works, and the devil even flees when he sees us. This is because Jesus Christ has already overcome this world, overcome the devil, and stripped away all his authority. As the opening verse says, when He rose from the dead and ascended to heaven, He declared the devil completely defeated. Jesus Christ overcame the devil for us and took him captive. As a captive, the devil stands humiliated before Jesus Christ and His army, trampled upon, completely stripped of fighting ability—a defeated foe, and permanently so.

You can imagine how, as a member of the victorious army, you face a captive. Captives dare not lift their heads before the victors; they have lost their freedom and fighting capability. The victors can dispose of the devil as they wish, trample him, and publicly humiliate him.

However, many Christians don't do this. They claim that if you heal the sick and cast out demons, the devil will be resentful and attack you in return. As a result, those who claim to heal the sick and cast out demons encourage people to pray for them to prevent the devil's counterattack.

Clearly, these people have not put the devil in his proper place. They don't know that the reality of the victor is to be victorious with Christ, to sit with Christ on the throne facing the defeated devil, to face the devil with Christ's life. These people begin a battle destined for failure with fear of the devil in their hearts.

But often these so-called warriors like to be filled with the Holy Spirit, to live out the "anointing" spoken of in the Old Testament—the "anointing" being the power of the Holy Spirit. They hope to heal the sick and cast out demons through the power of the Holy Spirit, which is not wrong in itself, but they don't know that they themselves are Christ alive, don't know that they face the defeated devil with Christ's life, don't know that they are beginning a battle that is destined for victory, where the devil is already defeated.

The devil is a cunning creature. He can discern people's understanding of truth from their words. He fears people living out the mighty power of Christ's life; he fears people knowing that they themselves are Christ alive. When Christians know that they themselves are Christ alive, the devil will surely flee.

"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." (James 4:7)

Everyone who knows Christ should know that the initiative is always in the hands of those who have truth and power. No ground should be left for a defeated foe. However, the devil will surely flee before us, for he is the defeated one and has nothing to do with victory. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!Retry

Daily Declaration of New Life — Healing Begins from Within

January 17

Daily Declaration of New Life — Healing Begins from Within

Pastor Jiang Yonglu

"If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you." (Romans 8:11)

When Jesus Christ rose from the dead, it was through the mighty power of the Holy Spirit working in his broken body, enabling him not only to resurrect but also to experience healing and complete restoration to health.

Christ's resurrection conquered death and overcame the power of all diseases. We have risen with Christ, and the healing that Christ received in His resurrection has been given to us.

"He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed." (1 Peter 2:24)

We have received healing?! When? At the moment Christ was resurrected, when Christ received healing, we received healing. When Christ's resurrected body became completely healthy, our bodies became completely healthy. Here is a principle: Christ is our fully authorized representative, and we are united with Christ. Therefore, Peter says that Jesus Christ endured the lash—because Christ bore the suffering of our diseases, endured cruel flogging, and took upon Himself the pain of diseases we deserved. It was precisely because Christ endured unjust judgment in our place that He died for us on the cross.

However, Christ has risen. Because we are resurrected with Christ, His body experienced complete restoration and health through the power of the Holy Spirit, and He received a brand new body. As He once said: "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." This temple referred to His body, meaning that when Jesus Christ was resurrected, His body once again became God's glorious temple.

Now our bodies are also called temples of the Holy Spirit, just like Christ's resurrected body—holy, glorious, and filled with power.

Yet, we have not fully received this completely healthy new body. How can we receive it? Through the working of the Holy Spirit—the same Spirit who raised Christ from the dead now dwells in our bodies. Just as He raised Christ, we should also experience this glorious resurrection of the body.

The scripture clearly states that when the Spirit who raised Christ operates in our bodies, our bodies will overcome the power of death and live again—that is, be created anew. Just as Jesus Christ's dead body was restored and repaired.

Each of our bodies is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and we are destined to be resurrected with Christ. We all have the mighty power of the Holy Spirit upon us, and this Spirit dwells within us with resurrection power. When we believe the Holy Spirit is working within us, believe the Spirit is moving into every organ, beginning to repair and cleanse, our bodies are renewed and healed, to the point of escaping the power of death and entering into complete health, belonging fully to Christ, and reaching a state of complete holiness and power.

We have within our bodies the Spirit and power that raised Christ. This means we don't need anyone's prayers or involvement to experience Christ's miraculous healing and to live out the destiny of a new body in Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

● Pastor Jiang Yongliu：Daily Declaration of New Life — Problems, Depart Now

January 16 Daily Declaration of New Life — Problems, Depart Now ● Pastor Jiang Yongliu

Jesus answered and said, “Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, ‘Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea,’ it shall be done.” (Matthew 21:21)

For twenty years as a pastor, I have exhorted the brethren not to speak of mountains, nor to recount their troubles, nor to dwell upon their difficulties in hopes of garnering sympathy from others or drawing the attention of God, as though He might stretch forth His hand to aid. In truth, those who incessantly speak of their problems find their days growing ever darker, their afflictions unabated, and their troubles unvanquished, leading ultimately to sorrow and regret.

Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, has begotten us anew in the mighty power of the Holy Spirit, according to His own likeness. He is the God who created all things by His Word, and His Word is filled with power, accomplishing whatsoever He speaks, bringing to pass whatsoever He declares.

And so it is with us now. Every soul made new in Christ must understand that, having received the life of Christ, we embark upon the life of Christ. When Jesus, with a single word, caused the fig tree to wither, His disciples marveled. And Jesus declared unto them, “That which I have done, ye also shall do. Not only shall ye, with a word, cause the fig tree to wither and die as I have done, but if ye believe in the power of the word, even mountains shall be removed by the words of your faith.”

We have entered into the life of the sons of God, a life of great authority and power. When we speak in the name of Jesus Christ, nothing shall resist, for the ultimate power in this world is the name of Christ. When we, in the mighty power of the Holy Spirit, proclaim Christ, all things—seen and unseen, every evil spirit—must obey.

If thou art facing trials, thou must know that the devil is the source of all corruption. Verily, thou canst speak to those troubles and command them to depart from thee. If thou art beset by the spirit of poverty, with all things going awry, then command that dark power to leave thee. Persist in this command, and begin to act with generosity, until new opportunities arise by God’s grace.

If the power of sickness assails thy body, thou must know that the devil seeks to claim thy frame, desiring to fully possess the body made in God’s image. Yet the devil is an unjust adversary, ever stealing, killing, and destroying. Thou must not permit him to dwell in thy body, nor allow him to continue his destruction. Command him forthwith to depart, to go out from thy body.

If the mighty power of the Holy Spirit dwells within thee, the devil shall flee the moment thou drivest him out. Herein lies a mystery: we cast out devils by the Spirit of the Lord, and by His Spirit we perform mighty works.

The most evident mark of a Christian is to be filled with the Holy Spirit, empowered to undo the works of the devil and to live with heavenly authority. This authority resides in the words of faith. We must not doubt God’s love for us, nor question that the Holy Spirit ever upholds us, our greatest Helper. When we live in the mighty power of Christ’s life, speaking as Christ spoke, the Holy Spirit shall fully work according to our faith.

Therefore, when thou art assured that thou art filled with the Holy Spirit, be yet more certain that thou canst command all dark powers to depart from thee and thine household—and that even now. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Daily Declaration of New Life—God's Channel of Power

January 15

Daily Declaration of New Life—God's Channel of Power

● Pastor Jiang Yongliu

We have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. (2 Corinthians 4:7)

How precious it is that in Christ we are united with Christ, becoming one body with Him, one spirit with Him. Jesus Christ redeemed us to a position where we sit with Him on the throne, to a position where we stand face to face with God without blemish. He makes us worthy of all that Christ possesses, worthy to do what He does.

Not only is our life Christ's, but our body is also Christ's, used by God. He has redeemed everything about us into Himself, making everything His and in His image. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, God's dwelling place. As the opening verse says, our bodies are jars of clay, made of earth, but in God's hands they bear Christ's image, because Christ dwells within—the Mighty One lives within, the eternal life lives within, the eternally victorious King lives within.

Christ dwelling in us is the Christ who rose from the dead dwelling in us, the One who conquered death and disease dwelling in us, the Truth dwelling in us, the Life dwelling in us, the Most High dwelling in us. It is the One who speaks things into existence dwelling in us, the Ruler of all things dwelling in us.

But Christ dwelling in us is not known by feeling, but by faith. When we believe this is true in Christ, the Holy Spirit will manifest Christ, for the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ, the Spirit with resurrection power, the Spirit that shakes the earth.

Therefore, Scripture says there is an immeasurable power within us, power beyond our imagination, power exceeding all we ask or think, power sufficient to raise the dead and heal every disease. This power is enough to bring new creation, enough to remove all the works of the devil.

Especially, this power is in our bodies, signifying that we can all use it to cleanse our bodies, heal our bodies, and make our bodies youthful and full of vitality. We should all believe that Christ dwelling in us has sufficient power to heal all kinds of diseases, to clear away all aging and weakening forces, and to renew every organ and every cell.

Jesus Christ ascended to heaven, and we sit with Him in heavenly places. The Holy Spirit descended from heaven as Christ dwelling in us in Spirit form. We live out heavenly power on earth, the power of life, the power of the throne, the power that makes everything on earth submit.

Not only should we live out physical health, but we should also release power to set free those tormented by evil spirits and heal all diseases, just as Christ did on earth.

Now, Christ is in us, and He has not changed at all. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. When we live out Christ's resurrection power and creative power, we are doing what Jesus Christ did, testifying that Christ is risen and has become our life. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
