事实与感觉

Wednesday, November 5, 2014

哥林多后书5:7 【因我们行事為人,是凭着信心,不是凭着眼見】。

耶稣不要我们凭感觉。肉体要我们凭感觉,但上帝要我們凭事实 -- 基督已经為我們完成的事实,祂在十架上的完工,祂救赎的完工,祂丰盛的救恩等。。。

耶稣從來不用感觉來吸引我们去信靠祂,也從來不用感觉來鼓励我们去信靠祂。祂要我们凭着话语来信靠祂,当我们的眼睛还没有看见事情的发生,在灵里却已经相信了,如同希伯来书11:1说的:信就是所望之事的实底,是未见之事的确据。。我们必須选择:凭感觉,凭眼见?还是凭着相信神的话语?我們的感觉就像海沙那般不可靠;基督的完工却是永久的磐石般穩固,因为祂昨日、今日,一直到永远是一样的(希伯来书13:8)。

信心若堅持到底,就必看见;如果中途放弃或妥协了,那之前所有的努力与坚持都白费了。恶者总是离间我们与神的关系,藉此推我們下去,落到失敗的地位。朋友,你已经离目的地不远了,千万不要中途放弃,因为还有一点点时候,那要来的就来,并不延迟(希伯来是10:37);你若不灰心,到了時候,就要收成(加拉太6:9)!啊们!

As He Is, So Are You

Tuesday, November 4, 2014

1 John 4:17 - as Jesus is, so are you in this world.

Do you know that the moment when you accept Jesus in your life, you are a new creation? Your spirit is born again, it is now a new creation, and you share the same nature and attributes like Jesus! The "you" mentioned in 1 John 4:17 here is talking about the spirit you. Therefore, you have to know that you are no longer separated from God, but you have the same power, same nature, same attributes like Jesus! Hence, you can boldly declare and believe that as Jesus is, so are you in this world! Note that it is not as Jesus is, so are you when you go back to heaven; but instead you are like Him in this world! Therefore, today start to believe that what Jesus has you have! As Jesus is healthy, so are you in this world; as Jesus is strong, so are you in this world, as Jesus is in abundance, so are you in this world, as Jesus is in victory, so are you in this world! Believe and see the manifestation today!

With Him All Things Are Possible

Monday, November 3, 2014

Mark 10:27 - Jesus looked at them & said, "with man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."

What is the situation that you are in today? You may find it serious, or you may find it difficult and there is no solution that can settle it. But do know that Jesus is the ultimate solution of your life, He is the Way when you have no way. He is your all in all. Although the facts in this world are giving you ten thousand reasons why you cannot be successful, giving you a lot of fearful statement that you are going to be drown in this crisis, but remember that God is at your side. You are not alone. Never say "I don't know how" or "I cannot" without stepping out the first step of faith and trust in Jesus. The moment when you step out in faith, yes, in the natural it might be impossible, but it is not with God! There is nothing that can limit God but only our unbelief. But as you believe in Him, all things are possible with God! Lean on to Him today, and know that you are surely saved!

宣告神的话

Monday, November 3, 2014

林后 4:13 - 但我们既有信心,正如经上记着说,我因信,所以如此说话。我们也信,所以也说话。

每一天,我们都在说话。在我们的沟通中,常会出好的话,当然也会有说不好的话。但是,一句好的话能造就人,反之,一句不好的话会使人绊倒。而经上记着说,若要享美福,就必须禁止舌头不出恶言,不说诡诈的话。其实,恶言不单单是难听的话,也包含了不信神的话,就是不相信神在圣经里所给我们的应许。

经上记着说:信就是所望之事的实底,是未见之事的确据。(希 11:1)朋友们,相信,就是当你还没看见事情的发生,但是你知道它肯定会发生。若看见了才相信,就不是相信了。今天,当我们还未看见事情发生以前,我们的思想要相信我们所要看见的事情会发生,并且在行动上也要一致,就是不断宣告神的话,我们的口所出的是相信的话。就好比一个人拿到不好的医药报告,但是经上说:因着耶稣的鞭伤,我们已完全得医治。(彼前 2:24)当他相信的时候,他的口不再是他会有什么问题,而是他宣告自己是完全得医治的。若一个人的口袋眼见当下是空空的,但是当他相信耶和华是他的牧者,他必不致缺乏的时候,他肯定看见他的生命是被祝福的。就如同亚伯拉罕一样,在他还未看见以前,当他选择相信,他就必看见他真的成为了神所应许他的,成为那多国的父。

朋友们,让我们的口是出颂赞的话,我们的嘴要常说神的话,经上怎么说,我们就因着相信也如此说,好让我们的生命是享美福,是丰盛的生命。当我们这样行的时候,必要看见我们的生命要更上一层楼,是作首不做尾,居上但不居下的。阿门!

持守真理

Monday, November 3, 2014

希伯来3:14我们若将起初确实的信心坚持到底,就在基督里有份了。
希伯来10:35所以,你们不可丢弃勇敢的心;存这样的心必得大赏赐。

當你觉得无路可退的时候,要知道-神祂有办法!因为祂是活人的神,不是死人的神,在祂那里,人都是活的(路加福音20:38)。让這個美好的信息时刻来提醒你,在困境之中持守真理並且信靠神。祂有你所需要的能力与智慧,有你一切問題的答案;当你看不到出路時,信靠祂,祂赐你智慧做出对的决定,在祂沒有难成的事,祂會使那些不好的光景成為你生命中的转机。
罗马书8:28我们晓得万事都互相效力,叫爱神的人得益处,就是按祂旨意被召的人。

上帝賜下丰富的恩典,使你可以在生活中從新得力,充滿和平和喜乐,祂可以用最简易的方式,让那些难处成為你的恩典,祂可以使平凡变得与众不同。祂要你活得精彩,充满恩惠与慈爱。單單的准备好你的心,不断学习释放基督的大能,並且持守真理,让這信念被建造成為你生命里的根基,你就不会那么容易被动摇或被打倒。
哥林多前书3:11 因为那已经立好的根基就是耶稣基督,此外没有人能立别

Say

Sunday, November 2, 2014

Joel 3:10(b) - Let the weak says "I am strong".

What you believe in today will greatly influence your speaking, and your speaking will determine your living. If you are going to see whether you yourself believe in the Word of God or not, look at what you are speaking daily. The first response, the first word that comes out from your mouth shows what you really believe in. However, many people will say, I have to speak the fact. I am sick so therefore I have to say that "I am sick", I am poor so I have to say that "I am poor". You see, as children of God, we are not speaking according to facts, we are no longer living by sight, we are no longer being led by our feeling. Instead, we are to speak the truth! We are not denying that the sickness and that lack is with us, but instead of choosing to speak forth what we feel, what we are encountering now, how great is that problem, we choose to speak what the Word of God says. Why? Because the Word of God is power, it is life, it is spirit, it is living! The moment when you choose to speak the Word of God, you are not denying what you are encountering, but instead you are speaking who you really are. The truth is as a child of God, you are as healthy as Jesus is, you are as prosperous as Jesus is. As you speak the Word of God, the same power when God speaks, you will have the same power when you speak. When He sees darkness, He calls forth what He wanted, and when He says "let there be light", there was light. What do you want to see today? Seemingly now you might not be having it, but instead of speaking what you are seeing now, call forth what you want. When you weak, say "I am strong!", when you are in sorrow, say "the joy of the Lord is my strength!", when you are sick, say "I am already healed!". You are speaking who you really are, what you really have, and what you really can do in Christ!!

The Word Heals

Saturday, November 1, 2014

Psalm 107:20 - He sent out his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.

Do you know that it is the Word of God who separates you from the world? The Word of God is not the word of the world, it is the very life of God. Therefore, as the children of God, we need the Word of God because that is our lives! Regardless of what is your situation now, what is your circumstance, and how bad it is, God has sent out His Word in your life. When you esteem the Word of God higher than the word of people, you will see the manifestation of the Word of God! The Word of God has healing power, it heals your wounded heart, it heals you from all diseases, the life of God consists no sickness in it, no darkness, no unholiness. But the Word of God is able to rescue you from the grave, from the darkness, from all sicknesses, from all anxiety, and you need the Word of God just like you need oxygen to live! Spend time in the Word, believe in what He says, and you shall see the fruit in your life. When God says it, we believe in it, and it settles it!

歌颂神

Saturday, November 1, 2014

诗篇 59:16-17
但我要歌颂你的力量,早晨要歌唱你的慈爱;因为你作过我的高台,在我急难的日子作过我的避难所。
我的力量啊,我要歌颂你,因为神是我的高台,是赐恩与我的神。

哈罗朋友,你可否想过使你前进的力量从何而来?
当你软弱迷失时,你的反应如何? 你是选择待在消极中埋怨?还是选择专注于你力量的泉源?
现在,是时候让你做决定和选择。当你力量不足时,歌颂你的力量-神。
当你失落觉得孤独一人时,歌唱你的慈爱-神。
不管你处于什么环境中,无论你面对什么挑战,永远记得你拥有那最强的依靠,那就是神!祂是你的避难所是你的高台,是永远不改变的。
他是那慈爱的神,是赐恩与你的神,他在乎你并且愿意带领你走过,给你一切最好的。

所以,常在他里面默想他的慈爱和所给与你的应许。
开始相信和宣告,当你开始颂赞神感谢神时,你必然经历那使不好变成好,使不可能变为可能的莫大能力!

Sing Praise To God

Friday, October 31, 2014

Psalms 59:16-17
But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
O my Strength, I sing praise to you; you, O God, are my fortress, my loving God.

Hello friend, have you ever meditate where you get strength from in order to move on in life?
When you are weak and lost, what is your response? Are you choose to stay in the negativity ground and murmuring? Or you choose to focus on the source of your strength?
Now, is time for you to make the decision and choose. When you are lack of strength, sing of your strength-God.
When you are down and feel all alone, sing of the love-God.
No matter what circumstances you are in, regardless what challenges you are facing, always remember that you have the strongest support and that is God! He is your refuge and fortress which will never change.
He is the loving God who cares for you and willing to lead you through and give you all that He could gives.

So, abide in Him by meditating the love and promises He has for you.
Start to believe and proclaim, surely, you will experience the tremendous power that turn bad into good and impossibles into possibles when you sing praise to God as well as give thanks to Him!

兴起发光

Friday, October 31, 2014

赛 60: 1 - “兴起!发光!因为你的光已经来到!耶和华的荣耀发现照耀你。

我们的生命在基督里都是被预定是兴起发光,是得胜的生命。以前在我们还是罪人的时候,我们的生命是没有盼望的,是死的生命。很多时候,在那死的生命里人看不见未来,看不见希望,看不见一切的应许,是处于一个悲哀的环境,是四面楚歌的情景。但是,当我们口里承认耶稣为主,心里信神叫祂从死里复活那一刻开始,我们就得着那活的生命,是有神性情的生命,是复活,丰盛的生命,以前悲哀的日子已经完毕了。(赛 60:20)

朋友们,既然我们的生命是神所预定要兴起发光的,那么我们就要让神的应许彰显在我们的生命里。首先,我们先要清楚知道我们有什么应许,要清楚知道我们有资格去领受所有一切的应许,并且我们能把这些应许活出在我们的生命中。今天,当我们定睛在神的话,就能找到所有神给我们的应许,在神的话里我们知道我们有什么,我们能做什么。就好比在神的话里告诉你,神要使你的灵魂体都兴盛(约三:2)那么你就知道健康是你的;神的话告诉你,耶和华是我们的牧者,我们必不致缺乏,(诗23:1)那么你就知道你是什么都有了,因为祂是你的牧者;神的话告诉你,你要靠主常喜乐,(腓 4:4)意思就是今天不管在你的生活上面对什么问题,都要靠主喜乐,因为喜乐的心就是良药(箴 17:22);当神的话告诉你,祂是你的帮助,是你的高台,(诗 46:1)那么你就知道无论你处于什么环境里,就算没有人在你身边,你依然是有帮助的,因为你的帮助是从神而来。(诗 121:2)

因此,让我们的生命是紧紧连接与耶稣,让祂来引领我们的道路,这样,就必看见我们的生命肯定是兴起发光,是被祝福并且是亨通顺利的。阿门!

前所未有的丰盛领受

Friday, October 31, 2014

出埃及記34:10 耶和华说:「我要立約,要在百姓面前行奇妙的事,是在遍地萬國中所未曾行的。在你四圍的外邦人就要看見耶和華的作為,因我向 你所行的是可畏懼的事。

上帝要在你身上做些奇妙之事,而你必須明白祂在你生命中的美好的心意,祂所释放出来的会是你的眼睛從未看見過,耳朵未曾听见过,心也未尝想像过的(林前2:9),绝对是那无与伦比,大有能力的事!現在是时候领受了,你预备好了吗?

知道天父的心意,与明白且愿意領受祂的心意,两者有很大的差异;如果你只是知道,却不愿意领受,你永远只是站在门外,无法亲自尝到主恩的滋味,及经历神的大能在你生命中;那是沒有用的,你要伸出你的双手,敞开心来领受,让神的大能真真实实的彰显,且流露出来。啊们!

所以,你要肯定天父已经把一切福气给了你(以弗所1:3),当你顺从圣灵,祂必指引你那奥秘的事,因为圣灵参透万事,就是神深奥的事也参透了(林前2:10)。你所要领受的必然是前所未有的丰盛!

Be Still

Thursday, October 30, 2014

Psalm 46:10 - Be still and know that I am God! I will be honored throughout the world.

There was a painting competition that painters are to paint according to the theme "Rest". Many artists painted beautiful pictures of one relaxing at beach and with a peaceful scenery. However, the first prize goes to a painter who paints his picture like this. It was all dark clouds, storms are hovering, waves are big, you can see the trees are wavering too, but in the midst of that great storm, there was a bird nest on that tree that the mother bird and its children were sleeping soundly. You see, be at rest is not about spending a great weekend relaxing at beach and a peaceful scenery only, being at rest is not about ceasing from work. But being at rest means even in the greatest storms, you are still able to be still and rest! Even in the midst of busyness, you still have peace. That's why the Word of God says be still and know that He is God. If you do not know that He is your God, it will be very difficult for you to be still! But if you will start to know Him deeper and deeper, knowing how much that He loves and cares, knowing that He is the God Almighty and nothing is too big that He cannot solve, you will be still and know that you have a God that can turn all things into possible, and He can turn water into wine! Therefore, be at rest today and know that God is taking care of you. Surrender all your cares to Him, for He cares for you!

Remain In Him

Wednesday, October 29, 2014

Psalm 33:21 - In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His holy name.

Rejoicing is always a decision that you can make. Many of times, when you keep yourself apart from Jesus Christ, and choose to stay connected with your feelings, your surroundings, what your five senses have been consistently feeding you, you cannot rejoice! Because all the more you focus on your circumstances, all the more you will reason yourself to be sorrow and depressed over that issue. Therefore, as a child of God, we have to know that our identity and our inheritance are found in Christ, Jesus is the one that we should look to. It is only when you are In Him, when you are connected to His Word, when you keep yourself eyeing on Him, then your heart is able to rejoice! We live by faith and not by sight, we should be focus on what is unseen instead of what is seen, when you choose to rejoice in Christ, rejoice is an action of faith! You know what, it is according to your faith that it shall be done for you! Today, instead of trusting yourself or trusting what the world can bring to you, trust in the name of Jesus. For you hold the power to use this name, and as you trust in Him and choose to remain in Him, He will never put you to shame!

生命里的宝贝

Wednesday, October 29, 2014

林后 4:7 - 我们有这宝贝放在瓦器里,要显明这莫大的能力,是出于神,不是出于我们。

在这世上,有人的宝贝是自己的家人;有人的宝贝是宠物;有人的宝贝是世上稀有物品;有人的宝贝可能是宝藏。但在我们生命中最不可缺少的宝贝,就是我们的主,耶稣基督。在世上任何的宝贝都不能胜过祂,因为耶稣基督是大有能力的,当我们有了祂在我们的生命中,我们的生命就有能力,能战胜一切世上的劳苦愁烦,一切问题。当我们有了耶稣这个宝贝在我们生命里,就算我们四面受敌,却不被困住。心里作难,却不至失望。遭逼迫,却不被丢弃。打倒了,却不至死亡,(林后 4:8-9)因为那莫大的能力是出于神,不是出于我们。

我们的好处不在神以外,(诗 16:2)一切都是祂所赐给我们的。当我们有了耶稣,我们就有生命(约一 5:12);当我们有了耶稣,我们就有医治(彼前 2:24);当我们有了耶稣,我们就有喜乐(腓 4:4);当我们有了耶稣,我们就有平安(约 14:27);当我们有了耶稣,我们就有自由(约 8:32);当我们有了耶稣,我们就有权柄(路 10:19);当我们有了耶稣,我们就有丰盛(约 10:10b);当我们有了耶稣,我们就有富足(林后 8:9);当我们有了耶稣,我们灵魂体都兴盛(约三:2)!

所以朋友们,让我们的生命是紧紧连接于耶稣,离了祂我们不能做什么。祂是我们的元首,是我们生命里的一切源头,没有了祂,我们就不能享受祂所为我们预备的丰盛生命。而我们生命中最大的福分就是认识主耶稣,能经历祂的恩典和作为。阿门!

浇灌

Wednesday, October 29, 2014

以赛亚书58:11 耶和华也必时常引导你,在干旱之地,使你心满意足,骨头强壮。你必像浇灌的园子,又像水流不绝的泉源。
以赛亚书44:3因为我要将水浇灌口渴的人,将河浇灌干旱之地;我要将我的灵浇灌你的后裔,将我的福浇灌你的子孙。

自然界里,雨水可以使貧瘠的地方不再乾燥,它们需要雨水的浇灌,才能得着滋润,带來新的生命力。当大雨来临之际,它能使枯干的得已甦醒,開花,并蓬勃發展。

你可能會感受到生命有時候就像這样,已经走到尽头,毫無盼望了,感觉不到爱的存在,已经失去了一切,感觉到空虛和孤独。不過沒有关系,在神那里永远有盼望,耶稣已经为你开了一条又新又活的路(希伯来书10:20),雨水要降到貧瘠的地方。這不是結束,当恩雨降下,必带来新的机遇,新的关系,新的创意和夢想。

如果你正处在乾旱无水之地,你要欢呼喜乐,因喜乐的泉源來到了。這是全新的开始,当你把指望放在一个可以信靠的对像,你必看到新的增長和给予。【因為,祂的怒氣不過是转眼之間;祂的恩典乃是一生之久。一宿雖然有哭泣,早晨便必欢呼】。(詩篇30:5)啊们!

Enjoy This Relationship

Tuesday, October 28, 2014

Jeremiah 29:12 - Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

Do you know that God is not a God of deaf, but instead He listens to you? Whatever it is that you are crying out today, regardless what you have gone through, your Father in Heaven listens and He understands you. However, we are to know that there should not be religion between God and us, that we only come to Him whenever we feel like it. But it should be a relationship between us and the Father, He longs to talk to you, He wants to develop relationship with you, He wants to tell you great things! You can never see one way communication in a relationship, because it will never work. Instead, as you come to Jesus, and draw close to Him, He promised you that He will surely draw closer to you. Your Father in heaven will run hundreds of step to you even if you just make one step forward. That is your Father! Therefore, call on to Him, come and talk to Him, He says that He will listen to you. Start to enjoy this relationship with Him today!

以行动证明的爱

Tuesday, October 28, 2014

加 2:20 - 。。。祂是爱我,为我舍己。

爱,不是形容词,而是动词,因为爱是带着行动的。很多时候,人常常把爱挂在嘴边,却没有行动,这样的爱并不是真的爱。在我们的生命里,有个很好的榜样,是值得我们学习的对象。祂爱我们到一个地步是把祂所有的都给了我们,代替我们承受我们本当承受的酷刑,替我们担当了我们所担当不起的罪,最后还为了我们被钉死在十字架上。而这所有的一切,只单单出于“爱”,因为祂爱我们,所以祂愿意背负我们所有的一切罪孽,背负了我们一切的不好,换来上好的福分给了我们。而这份爱就是基督的爱,是在这世上无人能比的爱。

朋友们,你可否知道?耶稣基督为了我们的病痛,祂先为我们承受了鞭伤(赛 53:5);耶稣基督为了我们的贫穷,祂已代替了我们,好叫我们可以因着祂而富足(林后 8:9);耶稣基督为了我们的忧患,背负我们的痛苦,祂受了刑罚,给了我们平安(赛53:4-5)。不但如此,祂也为了我们预备了一切的我们所需要的,使我们在基督里所需用的都充足。(腓 4:19)这一切的一切,只因祂爱我们,祂不愿意看见祂的孩子们活在痛苦中,活在缺乏中,活在悲伤中。

这份爱,是我们在这世上最大的福分。因为耶稣的爱,是那没有盼望的人,有了新的盼望;因着耶稣的爱,使我们能胜过一切仇敌的诡计;因着耶稣的爱,使我们在这世上能过着丰盛的生命;因着耶稣的爱,使我们能拥有战胜恶者的权柄;因着耶稣的爱,我们是得胜有余的!因此,让我们把这恩典,这美好的福音传给我们身边的每一个人,好让他们也享受在神的爱里,经历祂的恩典。阿门!

Connect to Jesus

Monday, October 27, 2014

Psalm 16:2 - I say to the Lord, "You are my Lord, apart from you I have no good thing."

If you are seeing Jesus as your Lord today, you will submit your life to Him. Seeing Him as your Lord simply means you are committing everything to Him, knowing that He is your priority. You see, Jesus is the true vine and we are the branches, for apart from Him we cannot do anything (John 15:5). Jesus wants us to have a life connected to Him, instead of trying on our own effort to strive and earn. Thus, in Him are all the good things! All that we need in life, all that we are striving for, in fact Jesus has placed all the spiritual blessings in us the moment when we accept Jesus. But the main point is, many of times Christians are still trying to get and earn, thinking that they still do not have it. But Jesus gave us a great truth that we are to remain in Him and let His Word remain in us! (John 15:7) Even the Psalmist says that apart from Him we have no good thing. However, if you can make up your mind today and decide to let the Word remain in you instead of your own feelings and ideas, if you can decide to connect to Jesus from time to time by allowing His Words to remain in you, you know what, you will not miss any good things! For as you focus on Jesus and stay connected with Him, blessings, opportunities, good things will hunt you down!

伸张正义的神

Monday, October 27, 2014

罗马书5:8 惟有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死,神的爱就在此向我们显明了。

生活中总是会面对不平等的情境、被误会,我们都经历过那說不出的委屈。上帝是我們最大的辩护者,为我们伸張正义。就如祂 在以赛亞书61:7承诺:【你们必得加倍的好处,代替所受的羞辱;份中所得的喜乐,代替所受的凌辱。在境内必得加倍的产业;永远之乐必归与你们】。我們只要专心仰望神,让祂来引导。祂所要賜給我們的,將超出我们所预期(以弗所书3:20)

上帝對我們的爱是显而易見的。祂賜下独生爱子來拯救我们,基督死在十架上,挪去了我們的罪愆;祂的復活,更賜給我們在祂里面全新的生命。这是何等奇異的愛!如同约翰一书3:1告诉我们的:【你看父賜給我們是何等的慈爱,使我們得称为上帝的兒女】!而当我们有了神的儿子,就必有丰盛的生命(约翰一书5:12)!

信了耶稣,並非就不会面对问题,但祂是我们能随時倚靠的对像,祂的真理引领我们的每一个步伐,賦予我們生命的意义与平安。啊们!

Trust In Jesus

Sunday, October 26, 2014

Psalm 42:5 - Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Saviour, my God.

Even though you may feel perplex and downcast at times, even though there are times when your heart is so disturbed within you, do you know that you can actually talk to your heart? You are a born again Spirit being the moment when you accepted Jesus as your Savior, therefore, you are a new creation. You have the same attributes like Jesus, and as He is so are you in this world. Therefore, you are able to communicate with your downcast soul, which is your mind, your thoughts. Put your hope in God, and focus your mind on the Word of God. Instead of seeing yourself in the problems, see yourself above them, you are sitting at the right hand side of the Father with Jesus! Because of that, start to praise Him, for He is good, then you shall see that problems shall come to pass and not to stay! Only Jesus is mighty to save, trust in Him and know that the whole heaven is backing you up!
