1 Thessalonians 5:16 Rejoice always.
帖撒罗尼迦前书 5:16 常常喜乐。

Rejoice is a choice, it is a decision that you have to make every day. No matter what is going on around you, remember to ask yourself a question, am I looking upon situation to have joy? Or am I looking upon God who is constant and never change and have joy? You can be looking around your surroundings and find thousands of reason to complain and be in bitterness, but do you know that as a child of God, you have all the reasons to rejoice and be glad? Why? Because Jesus has redeemed you, what else is more sorrowful than living a life of misery and under the bondage of sin, and the suffering of hell? That's why just because you're saved by The Lord, that should be the reason to rejoice!! Today, choose to yield to what God says instead of what men says, look upon him and you shall find strength in you situation, His grace is enough, He is faithful and ultimately He is able! Rejoice always, good times or bad times, for the joy of The Lord gives you strength and untie you of all things! Rejoice always my friends, and you shall see supernatural power overflowing through your life!

喜乐是一项选择，是你每天要做的决定。不管你的周遭发生什么事，记得问自己，我是因着环境而喜乐？还是因着上帝是永恒不改变的神而喜乐呢？你晓得吗？你可以因着周遭的环境，找到成千上万的理由来抱怨，或活在苦毒里，但你要知道，身为神的孩子，你是可以欢喜快乐的！为什么呢？因为耶稣已经救赎了你，还有什么比活在罪的捆绑下，或是受地狱的煎熬更来得痛苦和可悲呢？这就是为什么你可以欢欣喜乐的理由了，因为你已经被救赎了！！今天，与其听人说的话，你要选择听神祂说什么，看向祂，你必重新得力，祂的恩典够你用，祂是信实的神，在祂凡事都能！无论得时或不得时，你都要喜乐，因为主的喜乐就是你的力量，为你解开问题的答案！朋友，要常常喜乐，你就会看到超自然的能力在你生命中彰显出来！

John 15:5 I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
约翰福音 15:5 我是葡萄树，你们是枝子；常在我里面的，我也常在他里面，这人就多结果。因为离了我，你们就不能做什么。

Hi friend, how are you? I believe that in Christ Jesus, everything shall be alright! We are truly blessed because of Him! Do you ever see a vine with its branches? I think we all know that branches do not strive to live by themselves, but all that branches do is stay connected with the trunk (the vine) and automatically the branches will be able to have all the nutrients needed from the root through the trunk. Likewise in our life, we are the branches who do not need to striving and struggling but to remain in the vine (JESUS CHRIST) who has done all for us! You need not to struggle on how to build good relationship with people around you, just remain in Him (The word), listen to what the word of God says and follow, surely goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life.
Stop focusing on how you can build your own career with your own limited resources and understanding, but start to remain in the vine by knowing that is Him who prospers you in all that you do. Instead of worrying your health condition, let’s start to believe what the Jesus has done 2023 years ago, that by His stripes you are completely healed! He has given His own life just to redeem us. Therefore now in Him, we are free, we are redeemed from the curse, all our sins have been forgiven, we have good health that can glorify His name, and all that He has are ours! So, remain in Him and lean on Him in all that we do. Remember, we are the branches, we are to stay connected with the vine, apart from Him we can do nothing. In Him, we can do more than what we can imagine. Hallelujah!

嗨朋友，你好吗？我相信在基督耶稣里，一切都会是美好的！因着祂，我们是被祝福的！你曾经看过葡萄树和枝子吗？我想我们都知道枝子用不着自己挣扎地活下去，而枝子需要做的就是连于那树干（葡萄树），然后枝子就会很自然地从树根藉着树干吸取所需的养分。同样在我们的生命中，我们是那不需要自我挣扎求生存的枝子，而是连接于那葡萄树（耶稣基督），就是那为我们成就一切的！你无需挣扎如何与周遭的人建立好的关系，只要连于祂的话，听从祂话所说的，肯定恩惠慈爱必定一生一世追随着你。
停止专注你能怎样靠着自己有限的资源和能力来建立自己的事业，而开始连接于那葡萄树并且知道是祂叫你凡事兴盛，所作的尽都顺利。与其担心自己的健康状况，倒不如相信耶稣在2023年前为你所成就的，因祂受的鞭伤使你完全得医治！祂为了救赎我们而舍下自己的生命。因此现在在祂里面，我们是自由的，我们是从咒诅中被拯救出来的，我们一切罪都已被赦免，我们有好的健康来荣耀祂的名，还有祂所有的都是我们的！ 所以，连接于祂并且在所行的事上都依赖祂。记得，我们是枝子，我们需要连接于那葡萄树，离了祂我们不能做什么。在祂里面，我们能做超乎我们所想象的。哈利路亚！

Psalm 2:4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.
诗篇 2:4 那坐在天上的必发笑；主必嗤笑他们。

You may be weeping for a night over your issues and difficulties now, but do know that rejoicing comes in the morning! Why? Because ultimately your hope should be placed on Jesus, not your issues. All these challenges ahead are temporal, but Jesus and His promises are eternal! Even if the enemies come to you in one direction, they shall flee in seven ways? For Jesus is your Help and Protection, He laughs at the problems and challenges that came before you, why? Because nothing is impossible with God! Therefore, you are to get yourself rooted in this truth, instead of focusing on what is seen, we are to focus on what is unseen; instead of focusing on what is in the natural, we are to look at things from a supernatural perspective! Dear friends, Jesus has won the victory and we are now called the sharer and partakers of His victory; all you need is to believe in Him, trust Him and you shall see the manifestation of the deliverance!

你现在可能因着各样的问题和困境，整夜都在哭泣，但你要晓得，一宿虽然有哭泣，早上你必要欢呼！为什么呢？因為你的盼望是在耶稣基督里，而不是你眼前所看见的。这些都是暫时的，但耶稣和祂的应许却是永久的！即使仇敌从一個方向來攻击你，它们却要从七条路逃跑！耶稣就是你的帮助和保护，祂对着你的问题和挑战嗤笑，为什么呢？因为在祂没有难成的事！所以，你要把自己紮根在真理里，而不是專注於眼前所看见的；我们要定睛在那所看不见的事上，而不是在那自然界的事上，我们是从超自然的角度来看待事情！亲爱的朋友，耶稣已经得胜了，我们现在是与祂同享胜利；你所需要的就是相信祂，信靠祂，你就必看见救恩的彰显！

Psalm 30:11 You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.
诗篇 30:11 祢已将我的哀哭变为跳舞，将我的麻衣脱去，给我披上喜乐。

Coming to the end of the year, as you look back to the past few months, you will realise that the God who is faithful in bringing you through before, is still faithful to bring you through now! Jesus is forever the same, and guess what? He will never fail you! Life may be throwing you lemons, but remember that you can turn the lemon into lemonade! Things may seem rough, waves may seem rough, storms may seem great, but guess what? You are always above the storms, you are always at the position of Christ, as He is, so are you in this world! Therefore, be glad that God has turned your wailing into dancing, so instead of dwelling in the mistakes and problems, wailing over them, why not stand up and turn it into dancing? When God promised you, there must be a turning point! Furthermore, He has removed your sackcloth and clothed you with joy! When you are clothed with joy, it simply means, no matter where you are, what you are doing, the joy of the Lord has become your strength, you are covered with His everlasting joy! Hence, step into a new day with boldness, for God's grace is always enough for you!

年底即将来到，当你回头看过去的几个月，你会发现到信实的上帝其实一路带领你走过，祂现在仍然要带领你前进！当耶稣是永不改变的，你的生命将会如何呢？祂永远不会失信于你！可能你觉得，在人生里你遇见的都是不如意的事，你是命苦的。但上帝要给你的生命却是甜的！事情也许看似艰难，浪看起来汹涌，风暴看起来很大，但你会怎么样？你是走在风暴之上的，你与基督在一起，因为祂如何，你在这世上也如何！因此，你可以很欣慰上帝已经把你的哀号变为跳舞，与其在错误和问题里纠结，在哭泣，何不站立起来，尽情的跳舞呢？当上帝应许你，生命就必有转捩点！此外，祂已经脱去你的麻衣，给你披上喜乐的衣。当你披上喜乐，它意味着，无论你在哪里，你在做些什么，主的喜乐就是你的力量，你是被永久的喜乐所覆庇的！所以，坦然无惧的踏入新的一天，因为上帝的恩典永远够你用！

John 1:4 In him was life, and that light was the light of men.
约翰福音 1:4 生命在他里头，这生命就是人的光。

Dear friend, do you ever think what kind of life Jesus-the shepherd, has given to you? Do you know what is the life to the full? Most of us living in this world is living under stress and worries as this world is under the control of the devil. There are a lot of things that caused us trouble and weary. Our job and career pressure us; do's and don'ts limit us; what to eat and what to wear also make us worry; physical condition is always our concern; family becomes our burden; competitive lifestyle caused us not able to enjoy life with excitement and relaxing; the mindset that condemning ourselves make us not able to breath in a situation...Is the life mentioned above is what God tends to give us? Of course NOT! The life that God want us to have is a life that depends on Him and His finished work on the cross instead of our own effort and achievement. Just because we are not able to achieve the life to the full by our own effort, that is why God has sent His one and only Son-Jesus to this world to rescue and redeem us!
Therefore friend, stop looking at what you can do by your won effort but to start looking at Jesus who has done it all for you! Though you are living in this world but always remember that you are not of the world! Therefore, the devil cannot take charge in your life. Jesus is in control! Let go and let God, beloved. Bear in mind that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus because everything is no longer based on our won performance, but is all about Jesus! Live life to the full is no longer about how much you have in life, but is about how much you can give in life; Live life to the full is not about what you have but is about who you have-JESUS, for when you have Jesus, you have everything! In conclusion, live life to the full is so light and easy for it is no longer our own doings but is solely depends on Jesus and all that we need to do is turn our eyes upon Him and trust Him right in our heart. Change our mind today, right believe leads to right living. Be blessed!

亲爱的朋友，你曾经想过耶稣这好牧者所给你的是怎样的生命吗？你知道什么是丰盛的生命吗？多数人活在这世上都是压力和忧虑的，因为这世界是卧在恶者的手下。有很多事情让我们忧愁重担。我们的工作压郁我们；做与不做限制我们；吃什么穿什么也使我们 担心；身体状况总是我们的顾虑；家庭变成我们的负担；竞争的生活方式导致我们无法轻松和兴奋地享受人生；那自我定罪的思想使我们在环境中透不过气来。。。以上所形容的生命是神要给我们的生命吗？当然不是！神所要给我们的生命是依靠祂并十架上的完工，而不是靠自己的劳力与成就的。就是因为我们不能靠自己的努力成就丰盛的生命，所以神才差祂的独生爱子-耶稣来到这世上拯救和救赎我们！
所以朋友，停止看向你靠自己能做什么，而开始看向那为你成就一切的耶稣！纵然你活在这世上，但千万要记得你并不属于这个世界！因此，恶者不能在你生命中掌权。耶稣才能在你生命中作王！亲爱的，放手让神接手吧！你要记得如今在基督耶稣里的就不定罪了，因为一切不再是靠你的成就，乃是关乎耶稣了！过着丰盛的生命不关乎你在生命中拥有多少，而是在生命中你能给于多少；过着丰盛的生命不是在于你拥有什么，而是在于你拥有谁-耶稣。因为当你拥有耶稣，你就拥有一切了！总括，过丰盛的生命是如此轻省简单的，因为不是靠你所能做的，乃是单单凭着耶稣所成就的。我们所需要做的，就是转眼仰望耶稣并从心来相信他一切所做成的。今天改变我们的思想，对的相信引进对的人生。你是蒙福的！

Proverbs 24:16 For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.
箴言 24:16 因为义人虽七次跌倒，仍必兴起；恶人却被祸患倾倒。

My friend, your behavior is unable to hold on to your identity, instead it is your identity that change the way you behave. Therefore we are to understand that righteousness is never from our effort or achievement, but rather it is a gift from Christ! It enables us to stand right in front of God without any guilt and shame. Therefore, the moment when you truly know who you are, you'll live your life just as who you are! As the righteousness of God through faith, now you can declare that you have the right to be healthy, to prosper and to success! So, when you are the righteousness of God, though you may fall, but you shall rise again! You shall bounce back higher, and remember the enemies may come to you in one direction, but they shall flee in seven directions!

我的朋友，你的行为举止不能守住你的身份，却是你的身份改变你的行为举止。因此我们明白，公义从来就不是靠我们自己的努力得着的，而是从基督而来的一份礼物！它使我们能站立在神面前，不带任何罪疚和羞愧。所以，当你真正晓得你是谁，你能坦然的活着，正如你真正的身份！神的义藉着信，现在你可以宣告你是健康的，你是兴盛的，你是成功的！所以，当你是神的义，虽然你会跌倒，但你仍必兴起！你切要返弹的更高，记得，仇敌可以从一个方向来攻击你，但它们却要从七个方向逃跑！

John 3:8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.
约翰福音 3:8 风随着意思吹，你听见风的响声，却不晓得从哪里来，往哪里去；凡从圣灵生的，也是如此。

Dear friend, do you know that whoever believes in Christ Jesus owns a special gift? Before Jesus leaves this world, He has sent the Holy Spirit to come and be the counselor of those who believe in Him. And now, Holy Spirit is the special gift sent by the Father for you and me (who believe in Christ Jesus). The Spirit lives in us and He is the advocate who settles all things on our behalf. (Romans 8:32) The counselor is here to remind us about all that Jesus has told us (John14:26). When we lost our ways, let the Spirit to take over. He leads us to the right path meeting with right people and right opportunities are found ahead of us. Whatever decisions you need to make, pray and let the peace of God rules in your heart. Be led by the Spirit by hearing what He says. So, refer to the word of God for the Word is God and the Word is the Spirit and the life. It’s time to let go and let God, friend. Stop struggling by your own effort and lean not on your own understanding. Let us flow with the wind, let God takes the lead through the Spirit and all we need to do is trust Him wholeheartedly. Remember this, friend, God must become greater and we must become lesser. So stop looking at yourself, problems or circumstances, but to start focus on the cross and Jesus Christ alone! In Him, we found rest. In Him, we are secured. In Him, we are the best! Amen!

亲爱的朋友，你可否知道凡相信耶稣的人都拥有一份特别的礼物？耶稣离世往父那里去的时候，就差了圣灵来，成为那信祂之人的保惠师。那现在，圣灵就是父差给我们（那信耶稣基督的人）那份特别的礼物。那圣灵就住在我们里头，他是帮助我们解决所有问题的律师（罗马书8:32）。这位保惠师在此提醒指教我们耶稣所说的一切话（约翰福音14:26）。当我们失去方向时，让圣灵来接手。他带领我们走对的路，遇见对的人和对的时翰机就在我们前头。不管你需要做什么样的决定，祷告并且让神的平安在你心中作主。让神的圣灵藉着他所说的话带领我们。所以，回到神的话因为道就是神，而他所说的话就是灵就是生命。是时候放手让神接手了，朋友。不要再靠自己的努力去挣扎，不要再依靠自己有限的聪明。让我们随着风吹，让神以圣灵来带领，而我们所需要做的就是全心地相信他。记得，朋友，主必兴旺，我们必衰微。所以别再看向自己，问题或环境了，开始看向耶稣和那十字架！在祂里面，我们得着安息；在祂里面，我们是安全的；在祂里面，我们是最棒的！ 阿们！

Isaiah 41:11 All Who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish.
以赛亚书 41:11 凡向你发怒的，必都抱愧蒙羞。与你相争的，必如无有，并要灭亡。

Do you know that now you're seated at the heavily places along with Jesus? Where Jesus is, is where you are today. You are no longer belonging to the world, but you belong to Christ! Therefore, as a child of God, you've to know that you're not defeated but you're more than a conqueror! As Jesus is in victory, so are you in this world! As Jesus is prosperous and healthy, so are you in this world! That's your true identity and your true position in Christ! Therefore no matter how many problems rage against you, no matter how the medical report rage against you, they will surely be ashamed and disgraced! Why? Those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish! Sickness will be nothing and perish, lack will be nothing and perish, for when you're at the right hand of the Father, you're always in the Position of victory, when you're at the high place, nothing can oppose you!

你知道吗？如今你是与耶稣同坐席的。今天耶稣在哪里，你也在那里。你不属于这个世界，你属于基督！所以，身为神的孩子，你的生命不是打败战，却是得胜有余的！当耶稣已经得胜，你在这世上也已经得胜了！因着耶稣是丰盛和健康的，你在这世上也必如此！这才是你真实的身份和你在基督里真正的位置！因此，无论有多少问题缠绕你，无论你的医药报告是如何的不理想，它们必定要抱愧和羞辱！为什么呢？因着凡与你为敌的必要归于无有并要灭亡！疾病将要归于无有并要灭亡，缺乏将要归于无有并要灭亡，因为当你的天父就在你的右边，你就在得胜的位置上，当你处在高处，断没有什么可以敌挡你！

Matthew 17:7 But Jesus came and touched them. "Get up," he said. "Don't be afraid."
马太福音 17:7 耶稣进前来，摸他们说：“起来，不要害怕。”

Many of times, the greatest enemy that you can face is never the challenges or the mountains around you, but rather, you are your greatest enemy. Nothing can defeat you in life, unless you allow it yourself. Many of times, we soak ourselves in the waves of our challenges, rewinding and thinking about how difficult it is, what a failure that we are, how impossible to be delivered from such issues of life, and we will never see hope again. Our thoughts defeat us easily if we do not take them captive, and bring them back to the thought and mind of Christ. To think what God thinks, to speak what God speaks is not a set of rules, but rather it helps you to fix your eyes and attention on God, when you get your thoughts align back to the Word of God, you will see everything shall dissolve! So get up from the negative thoughts now, do not be afraid, for Jesus is still in control! Amen!

很多时候，你生命最大的敌人不是你周遭的挑战或是大山有多高，而是你自己。在生命中，没有什么可以打败你，除非是你自己允许被打败。很多时候，我们把自己局限在难题里，反复的想着眼前的困境有多大，我们有多么的失败，要从眼前的困境中解脱出来简直是不可能的，我们灰心失望极了。我们的思维很容易就把我们囚禁，如果我们不先把他们俘虏，把心思意念夺回归向基督的话。所以要来思想神所想的，说神所说的，这不是一套规则，它却是可以帮助你把你的眼目转向专注于神，当你把心思意念转回到神的话语，你将看到一切都会迎刃而解！所以，从消极的思维中起来吧，不要害怕，因为耶稣仍然掌权！阿门！
