2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.
帖撒罗尼迦后书 3:3 但主是信实的，要坚固你们，保护你们脱离那恶者。

‭God is faithful, He is faithful in keeping His promises and to bring them to pass in your life. Faithful simply means that He is completely dependable! Therefore you are to know that the God that you believe in is a God that you can completely depend on Him! Yes, you may be facing with issues of life now, but depend on Him instead of your own; yes the report might not be good initially but He is completely dependable! When you can depend on Him, guess what? Nothing is too great that He cannot solve for you. Therefore, do not worry and be in fear over that bad report, know that Jesus will surely strengthen you and protect you from all evil one! As you're His responsibility, He will take care of you! Say this together today: I'm Jesus' beloved, He loves me and I believe in His unfailing love. Today no matter where I am, I believe that God is faithful, if He can bring me through that time, He will deliver me too this time! Strengthen me with your love Jesus, I know I'm free from all the evil one which inclusive of lack, sickness and fear. When I am in your love, nothing can be against me. In Jesus name, amen.‬‬‬‬‬‬

神是信实的，祂忠心保守祂的应许，且实际运行在你生命中。信实单单意味着祂是完全可信靠的！因此你要知道，你所相信的神是一位你可以完全依靠的！没错，你现在可能面临各样的问题，但你要来依靠祂而不是你自己；没错，你收到的报告可能是不好的，但神祂是全然信实的！当你愿意依靠祂，会怎么样呢？没有什么是太大太难到祂不能为你解决的。所以不要因着那不好的报告而担心，知道耶稣必来刚强你，保护你脱离那恶者！因为你是祂的责任，祂必定会照顾你！今天就说：我是耶稣所爱的，祂爱我，我相信祂对我那永远的爱。今天无论我在哪里，我相信神是信实的，如果在那时候祂能带我走过，现在也能帮助我！耶稣祢的爱刚强我，我知道我已经从一切不好的，包括缺乏，疾病和惧怕脱离了。当我在祢的爱里，没有什么可以抵挡我。奉耶稣的名我祷告，阿门！

Ephesians 3:17 So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
以弗所书 3：17 使基督因你们的信，住在你们心里，叫你们的爱心有根有基，

Never ever doubt that you're being loved, do know that even if man may fail you but God He will never fail you! Therefore, it is so important to root and establish in the love of Christ, knowing that how much He loves you empowers you in all affairs of life. It is only when you know and sure that He loves you unfailingly and unconditionally, that enables you to come boldly to the throne of grace and receive help in times of your need! My dear friends, it is Today, that you should know that nothing that you can do to make Him love you less, because when you were at your worst state, He already fall in love with you! While you were still a sinner, while you did not manage to do anything to please Him, Christ died for you! Hence, secure yourself in His love today and move on boldly!

永远不要怀疑你是被上帝所深爱的，晓得即便人会失信于你，但上帝祂永远不会失信于你！因此，在基督的爱里有根有基非常之重要，你要肯定祂非常爱你，给你生命的动力。唯有当你晓得并确定祂是永远无条件地爱你时，你才能坦然无惧的来到施恩宝座前，支取随时的帮助！亲爱的朋友，今天你应当晓得，你不会因为做了些什么，使到祂爱你少一点，因为当你处于最糟糕的时候，祂已经爱你了！当你还是一个罪人时，当你无法做任何事情来取悦祂时，基督已经为你死了！所以今天你要保守自己在祂的爱中，坦然无惧地往前走！

Ephesians 1:4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.
以弗所书 1:4 就如神从创立世界以前，在基督里拣选了我们，使我们在祂面前成为圣洁，无有瑕疵。

My dear friends, right before you choose God, He has chosen you. He has chosen you right before you have any chance to make a mistake, and even when you were still a sinner, Christ died for you! Therefore, He loves you and chose you not because of your perfect performance but out of His unfailing love! Therefore, if you feel condemn today, be reminded that even before the creation of this world, God already has you in His heart, He called you as a darling, He sees you as precious, and you are His beloved! Nothing that you can do to make Him love you less! Therefore, know that because of Jesus perfect finished work, God sees you as holy and blameless in His sight! You can't be more perfect and holy than you are now, because it's all done by Jesus perfect performance and not yours! You are a wonder, unique and special, you are righteous, holy and blameless! Never depreciate yourself because God appreciates you!

亲爱的朋友，在你还没有选择上帝之前，祂已经选择了你。祂在你有机会犯错之前已经选择了你，甚至在你还是一个罪人时，基督已经为你死！祂爱你，拣选你不是因为你有好的表现，而是出于祂对你永远的爱！所以，如果今天你觉得被定罪，要立即提醒自己，在创立世界以先，上帝已经把你放在祂心中，祂称你为亲爱的，祂看你为宝贵的，你是祂所爱的！祂不会因着你的所作所为，而使到祂少爱你一点！所以，知道因着耶稣一次完全的献祭，在上帝眼里你是全然美丽，毫无瑕疵的！现在的是你完全和圣洁的，这一切都不是靠你自己而得的，而是因着耶稣一次的献祭！你的生命是一个奇迹，独一无二和分别为圣的，你是公义，圣洁和毫无瑕疵！永远不要轻看自己，因为上帝祂爱惜你！

Hebrews 12: 3 Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
希伯来书 12:3 那忍受罪人这样顶撞的，你们要思想，免得疲倦灰心。

Today, consider Jesus! Consider Him who endured the cross for your sake. He was trampled down to the ground so that you shall be lifted up today. He suffered stripes on His body so that by His stripes, you are healed today. He was made poor at the cross so that you through His poverty might become rich today. He who had no sin to be sin for you, so that today, you are made righteous. Jesus died to give us all! He died to set us free! He dies to reconcile us back to the Father! He died so that we live! Three days later, He was raised to life for our sake too! He seated us with Him at the right hand side of the Father! He swallowed death so that we have eternal life! He conquered death so that today, we are more than a conqueror! Through the finished work of Jesus at the cross, we have hope, we have joy, we have peace, and we have all that we need. With Jesus in us, we will not grow weary and lose heart.

今天，你当思想耶稣！思想祂为了你而忍受了十字架的苦难。祂被践踏在地，好让你今天能被兴起来；祂被鞭被打，好叫今天你因着祂的鞭伤可以得医治。耶稣在十字架上成了贫穷，好叫你今天因着祂的贫穷可以成为富足。耶稣祂本来无罪，却因你成了罪人，好叫你今天可以被称为义人。耶稣祂为了给你一切而死在十字架上！祂死为了释放我们！祂死为了让我们可以与神和好！祂死了好让我们可以活着！三天后，耶稣祂复活，也是为了我们！祂叫我们与祂一同坐在天父的右边！祂吞灭了死亡好叫我们拥有永生！祂战胜了死亡，所以今天，我们是得胜有余的！藉着耶稣十字架的完工，我们有盼望，我们有喜乐，我们有平安，我们拥有一切所需的。有耶稣在我们里面，我们就不会疲倦灰心。

Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
箴言 23:7 因为他心怎样思量，他为人就是怎样。

What you have been thinking lately? Are you thinking of how unworthy you are? Or are you thinking of how impossible that things can turn around for you? No matter what you have been thinking lately, remember one thing: what you think inside will eventually affect who you are externally. If you have been focusing on those issues and being negative in your thoughts, guess what, you will never look joyful, your countenance will be affected and of course everything outside will be affected by your one thought. ‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬Therefore, If you long for a radical change in your life, have a radical change IN you first! You are what you think, therefore, keep your thoughts align with the Words of God, meditate and chew it day and night, and out of your belly shall explode a complete change effortlessly! All you need to do is to keep yourself and your mind in the thoughts of God, which means to think of His Words, what He says about you, and how much He loves you, and it will change your life completely. Jesus is the transformation maker, and He is in you! So, when He is in you, when you keep your thought captivated to His words only, change will birth out, don't worry! ‬‬‬‬

你最近都在想些什么呢？是在想着自己是如此的不配吗？或者在纠结事情真的会有转机吗？无论你在想什么，总要记得一件事：你心里所想的，会反映出来你的为人就是怎样。如果你一直专注于问题，你的想法都是消极的，猜看会怎么样呢，你永远都无法喜乐起来，你的脸上没有笑容，当然，外在的一切都是因着你里面的想法所导致的。所以，如果你渴望生命彻底改变，首先你的里面先要改变！因为你的心如何思量，你的为人就如何，所以，让你的想法与神的话语是一致的，日夜默想与揣摩它，生命的改变自然而然就从你的腹中流露出来！所以你需要做的就是让你的意念与神的意念是一致的，就是你要思想祂的话，祂如何看你，以及祂是何等的爱你，这将彻底改变你的生命。耶稣是你生命的改造者，祂住在你里面！所以，当祂在你里面，当你的思想被祂的话紧紧吸引住时，改变就会发生，所以你尽可以放心！

Ephesians 6:15 And with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
以弗所书 6:15 又用平安的福音当作预备走路的鞋穿在脚上。

Dear friend, have you put on the shoes that enable you to walking forward? There is a lot of times when we are wearing the shoes with famous brand that you can name of (which symbolize the steps we take with anxious and worries by self-effort in our daily lives), always cause us to walk with extra carefulness that lead to heavy laden and pressure especially when we are walking through the place full of mud. Instead of making ourselves not convenient, why not we put on the "The Shoes of Peace" that used to wear and walk freely across the mud, right? After the above illustration, can you relate it back to your daily life? Instead of taking every step of life with worries and awareness that burden us, why not we let god and let God? Instead of striving and struggling, why not we put our trust on the God who never fails us? Now is the time for you to decide and move on, beloved! Let's choose to walk your life with the word of God and the good news that God has given to you daily. The gospel of peace leads you to the promised land without heavy burdens and worries. Though you might face problems each day, but you can put your trust in God and rely on Him instead of yourself. Let's put on the shoes of peace and move forward readily with peace, joy and love. In Him, we found hope and grace that sustains us in time of our need. Praise the Lord!

亲爱的朋友，你穿上那使你能前进的鞋了吗？很多时候当我们穿着各种名牌的鞋子（也就代表着我们每走一步都是靠着自己战战兢兢地走过每一天），使我们每走一步都在担心接下来会如何，尤其 是当我们走在烂泥的路上时，更是害怕自己的鞋子会弄肮脏。既然会让自己那么麻烦，我们何不穿上那双“平安的鞋”呢？穿上那样的一双鞋，我们就能自在地走过那烂泥路了，对吗？经过以上的陈述，你能把它连接回你的日常生活吗？与其走人生的每一步都带着忧虑和重担，我们何不尝试放手让神来接手？与其挣扎受苦，我们何不相信那从不会让我们失望的神呢？亲爱的，现在是时候选择和前进了！选择以神的话和来自祂的好消息来走我们的每一天吧！那平安的福音引我们到那应许之地，且是不附加重担和忧虑的。纵然每一天我们都会面对问题，但你可以选择信靠神，依靠祂而不是依靠自己有限的能力。让我们穿上那平安的鞋继续带着平安、喜乐和爱不断地前进。在祂里面，我们找着那时刻在我们需要的时候，托住我们的盼望和恩典。赞美主！

Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves but it is the gift of God.
以弗所书2:8 你们得救是本乎恩，也因着信，这并不是出于自己，乃是神所赐的。

The kingdom of God is never about earning and deserving, but it is about believing and receiving. Do you know that it is never by your effort that you have salvation? You are never good enough to deserve the kingdom of God if you are going to earn it by your hard work. If it is by work, it will no longer be grace. If you get it by effort, you have to sustain it by your effort. However, thanks be to God that we have Jesus! Because of Jesus' accomplishment, because of this one man who died for us, we are now sure that we are saved by grace (Ephesians 2:8), and therefore, now it is a matter of believing and receiving! Jesus has perfectly done it at the cross, and our work now is to believe (John 6:29). Therefore, instead of trying on your own, start to depend on His grace and believe in Him. Let Him be the central of your life, and encounter His grace and love each day! Now is the matter of believing, receiving and thanking Him! Amen!

神的国从来都不是关乎赚取得来的，但却是关乎到相信和领受。你知道吗？救恩永远不是靠着你自己的努力而得着的。如果你要藉着自己努力来赚取神的国，你永远不够资格。如果是藉着自己的作为，那就不是是恩典。如果是靠着自己努力来得着，你就要不断靠自己的努力来维持。然而，感谢神，我们有耶稣！因为耶稣的完工，因着祂为我们死，我们确信我们得救是本乎恩（以弗所书2:8），所以，现在是相信和领受的时候了！耶稣在十字架上已经做成了，我们现在的工作就是相信十架的完工（约翰福音6：29）。因此，与其靠自己，何不依靠祂的恩典和相信祂。让祂成为你生活的中心，并且每天经历祂的恩典和爱的同在！现在就是相信，领受和感谢祂的时候了！阿们！

Romans 5:10 For if, while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
罗马书 5：10 因为我们作仇敌的时候，且藉着神儿子的死，得与神和好；既已和好，就更要因祂的生得救了。

What a great news to all of us! That because of Adam's sin, we used to be God's enemies, we were separated from Christ. However, through Jesus' once and for all sacrifice at the cross, through His death, we are now reconciled to Him! Therefore, you are no longer separated from health, from abundance, from peace, from goodness and favor, from eternal life; but you are now reconciled with good health, abundance , peace, goodness and favor and eternal life! You have all that you need pertaining life, just because of Jesus' willingness and His perfect sacrifice at the cross! Because of Him, we are now no longer under the power and dominion of the darkness, but now we are under the dominion of light! Whatever is of Christ is now of you! So my friend, behold Jesus from time to time, and you shall see whatever that is dead is your life is now alive!

因着亚当的罪，我们与神为敌，与基督隔绝。但，因着基督在十字架上的一次献祭，藉着祂的死，我们现在与神和好了！对我们所来说这是何等大的好消息！所以，你不再与健康、丰盛、平安、良善和恩惠，还有永生的生命隔绝；但现在你是与健康、丰盛、平安，良善和恩惠及永生的生命和好了！你有生命中所需要的一切，因着耶稣的愿意和祂在十字架上的一次献上！因为祂，我们现在不受黑暗的权势辖制，但现在我们是在光明之中！基督所有的，现在都是你的！所以朋友，你要时时刻刻仰望耶稣，你就会看到，凡你生命中已经死了的都要活过来！

耶利米哀歌 3:22-23 我们不致消灭，是出于耶和华诸般的慈爱，是因祂的怜悯不致断绝。每早晨都是新的，祢的诚实何其广大。
Lamentations 3:22-23 Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassion never fail. They are new every morning, great is your faithfulness.

Even when we are faithless, God remains faithful (2 Timothy 2:13). His compassion never fail, His love for you is great. Because of His great love for us, we can be as bold as a lion. We can move forward. We can let go the past. We can be sure that our tomorrow will be better. Our year to come will be better. People may fail us but God will not. People may not understand us but God understands. People may not help us but God will not stop helping us. People may not show compassion but our God is a God full of compassion. When the King of the kings and the Lord of the lords says He loves you, you shall know that everything is going to be alright. Amen!

我们纵然失信，祂仍是可信的，因为祂不能背乎自己（提摩太后书2:13）。祂的慈爱永不断绝，祂对你的爱是何其伟大。因为祂的大爱，我们可以胆壮像狮子；我们可以继续前进；我们可以忘记背后，努力面前。我们可以肯定我们的明天会更好，来临的一年也会更好。人会失信于我们，但神祂永远不会。人可能不明白我们的处境，但是神祂明白。人可能不会帮助我们，但是神祂不曾停止帮助我们。人可能不会怜悯我们，但我们的神却充满怜悯。当那位万王之王，万主之主说祂爱你，你知道一切都会变好。阿们！
