What Do You Want?

Friday, August 14, 2015

John 1:35-39
The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.
When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.
Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked,” What do you want?” They said, “Rabbi (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?”
“Come,” he replied, “and you will see.” So they went and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him.

Dear friend, do you know that the God you trust-JESUS, is such a loving God? He concerns everything relates to you! He cares what you care! He take care of your needs. When you heard about Him and choose to follow Him, He is always the one turning around to care for you instead of letting you to run hardly in order to reach Him.

So what do you want today, beloved one?
Maybe you need a financial breakthrough;
Maybe is a healthy body;
Maybe you will say you need good relationship;
Maybe you need a job to survive;
Maybe you have a lot of things to ask for…

But do you realize what the two disciples said to Jesus when they been asked about what do they want?
They only asked Jesus “where are you staying?”, it is because they know when they stay with Jesus, they have all that they need and want!
When you have Jesus, you have life!
When you have Jesus, you have hope!
When you have Jesus, you have wealth and health!
When you have Jesus, you are positioned to a higher place!
When you have Jesus, you have all that you want and all that you need!
So, choose to stay in His presence for He is our all in all.
Remember, He is the Word. So, how much time you spend in the Word is how much time you spend with Him. So let’s spend our each day with Him and enjoy all that He has done for us! He is faithful and He means what He said!
Believe and receive by faith through grace.

信实的神

Friday, August 14, 2015

提后 2：13 - 我们纵然失信，祂仍是可信的，因为祂不能背乎自己。

很多时候，基督徒以为，若当自己没有信心的时候，或是在软弱的时候，神就不会再祝福你，帮助你了。就因着自己没有完全的信心，所以神就转身，不理睬你了。其实，实际上却是相反的。你知道吗？我们的主爱我们到一个地步，就算我们软弱，就算我们失去信心，就算我们的口说出软弱的字眼，但是我们的主还是依然的爱我们，帮助我们，祝福我们一切所需的。但往往很多的人却看不见，总觉得神不顾念他，总觉得自己得不到神的祝福等，这完全只因为是出于自己的心没有办法被满足，而不是神没有祝福他。停下来，回头看一看，十年前的自己，五年前的自己，甚至一年前的自己，跟现在的自己比比看，生活是不是进步了？自己所需要的一切是否已经有了？但是很多的人却把这一切当做理所当然，认为这是必然的，而非神的看顾。其实，这世上的一切，没有一样东西能够满足我们的心，除了神的话，唯有神才能让人满足。

你知道吗？很多人对于神是战战兢兢的，深怕自己说错话，或是在软弱之时，神就会离我们而去，祂不会再看顾我们，祂会把之前的一切收回。真的是这样的吗？断乎不是！纵然在我们不能的时候，在我们软弱无助的时候，祂依然是我们的依靠，而祂也绝不会因着我们的软弱而将那给了我们的应许收回，因为祂是信实的神，祂口里所出的话绝不徒然返回的，祂是说到做到，而不是出尔反尔的神。就算今天我们失信了，我们的信心软弱了，但是祂还是可信的，祂依然是我们的帮助，因为祂不能背乎自己。祂赐给我们一切在这世上所需的，不是按着我们的行为，不是按着我们的服事，而是按着祂的恩典，以及祂丰盛的荣耀。

朋友们，不要再觉得我们的神没有看顾我们，不要觉得神祝福我们是按着我们的行为。要永远记得，我们是亚伯拉罕的后裔，是应许承受产业的一群，父所有的都是我们的。真的，我们要敞开我们的眼睛，要看见神所为我们做的一切，细算主恩，你就会知道原来神已经给了你你一切所需的了！阿门！

为父的心

Friday, August 14, 2015

诗篇103：11-13
天离地何等的高，祂的慈爱向敬畏祂的人也是何等的大！
东离西有多远，祂叫我们的过犯离我们也有多远！
父亲怎样怜恤他的儿女，耶和华也怎样怜恤敬畏祂的人。

人们会用许多不同的方式來看待上帝，有些人认为祂遙不可及，碰不到也摸不着，但也有人看祂是以一种很普通的方式，偶尔才会想到祂，看祂是可有可无的。还有人认为，上帝就是那位当他们犯错时，会重重惩罚他们的那位神。但圣经告诉我们，我们要如何看這位慈爱的天父。
父爱是給你的，就算你跌倒犯错了,祂帮助你克服挫敗，使你再次站立起来，祂依然是那位爱你的天父，並永远看你为好。很多人都知道神是他们的救世主,但祂也是一位父親,当你晓得祂是本着父亲的心来爱你，你跟祂的关系就呈現出一种全新的意义,你会渴望与祂建立更密切的关系。你知道祂並非那样的遙不可及，祂來不是为了要打击你，祂来乃是给你生命，當你跌倒時祂会扶起你，當你跌落低谷時，祂会拉起你，当你想放弃時，祂会燃起你的心！
也許你对神的爱感到疑惑，阿爸父祂都知道的，祂所看顾的远超過你所想 (林后4:18)。今天，這位神並沒有离你远去，祂並沒有撇下你置之不理，祂想让你知道，祂就是怎么爱你的父亲。
耶和华啊，现在你仍是我们的父！我们是泥，你是窑匠，我们都是你手的工作。（以赛亚64：8）

He Saves The Lost

Thursday, August 13, 2015

Like 19:10- “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
‭‭
Do you feel that you've lost in life?
Or are you seeking for a direction but you cannot find one?
Are you feeling hopeless when you look at your surrounding?
Life isn't come to a full stop yet my friend!
Do you know that Jesus came to seek and save the lost? Even when you have not look for Him,
He has already found you! He extended His love to you long before you even knew it.
Therefore, know that when Jesus found you, it is impossible that your life will remain the same.
It is impossible that you will lost your way in life. Why? Because Jesus is the only way!
When there is no way for you in the worldly perception, God doesn't think so!
Your way is found in Jesus alone. Therefore do not be discouraged, but keep your head lifted up, trust Him!
When you trust Him, He will definitely show you the new and living way!

放手，交托

Wednesday, August 12, 2015

在生活中，我们都必须去处理那些离开我们的事情，好比：失去挚爱的人，工作上的挫折，梦想的破灭，人际关系的瓶颈等。我们很容易觉得自己的東西被奪走了，世界从此陷入了黑暗。但对此你可以有兩种态度来回应。你可以说：“上帝，为什么这么不公平，你怎么可以让这种事发生在我身上？你不是看顾保护我的神吗？” 你可以生气的指责，可以自我可怜，可以怨恨全世界。但你也可以有另一种选择，就是向神祷告说：“神阿！我不知道為什么会这样，但我知道我一生的事都在袮手中（诗篇31：15；我也晓得万事都互相效力，叫爱神的人得益处（罗马8：28）。

上帝將新的季節放在袮身上。当你经历失望或伤痛，会很容易就认为“我的生活无法再像当初一样了”。但如果你持守住信心继续前进，这不会只是曾经，这將是比以前更好。如同约伯一样，耶和华赐给他的，比他从前所有的加倍（约伯记42：10）。这就是我们的神。

現在的问题，“对于那些你认为无法掌控的人事物，你是否愿意放开呢？当你換上嶄新的姿态開始向前走，在上帝计划里，你会看到更好的東西。換句话说，從神的身上你会看見，神的应许超出你所求所想。上帝会带給你更合適的，在你的生命中。你可以維持一個受害者的心態，或者你也可以把你目前的景况完全的交托。

以赛亚书61：7『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』。

It Has Ended

Monday, August 10, 2015

Isaiah 60:20- “Your sun will never set again, and your moon will wane no more; the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days of sorrow will end.”

You may feel like giving up right now, but do you know that God loves you dearly? That even before you give up, He chose to give up His one and only son, Jesus for your total life prosperity. He has made you holy and sanctified, and has given you all things pertaining to life!
So, life in Christ is a life full of hope, life in Christ is life full of glory, life in Christ is life full of joy! You may not be seeing now, but expect the manifestation of good things to happen to you beginning from today! Jesus has done all things for you, giving you life more abundantly, therefore do not give up, do not be dismayed, let Jesus be your everlasting light and help, and remember your days of sorrow has ended, your days of sickness has ended, your days of losing hope has ended!!

耶稣已代替了你

Monday, August 10, 2015

彼前 3:18 - 因基督也曾一次为罪受苦，就是义的代替不义的，为要引我们到神面前。按着肉体说，祂被治死；按着灵性说，祂复活了。

很多时候，人总觉得自己不配得到神的面前，总觉得应该要先洁净了，神才会喜悦。又或是觉得自己还有太多的坏习惯，要等自己完全改变了才配得到神的面前来。其实，神的话告诉我们说：我来，本是召罪人，不是召义人。（太 9:13）因为我们的神是个怜恤的神，祂体贴我们的软弱，祂知道我们是罪人，更因为如此，祂要救我们脱离罪的权势，把我们牵引到祂爱子的国里。你知道吗？耶稣为了你我，为了在这世上的每一个人，为乐我们的罪受苦，这苦本不该是基督所要受的，本该受苦的其实是我们。然而，神却把耶稣给了我们，代替我们的罪受苦，代替我们的不义，代替我们的贫穷，代替我们的缺陷，代替我们的不足等等，只为了要让今天的我们能够坦然无惧的到神的施恩宝座前，来与祂亲近。

在神爱子的国里，我们是新造的人，我们能够得到新的身份；在那里，我们可以因着耶稣基督而成为圣洁公义，不再靠着我们自己的行为了；在祂的国里，我们能够享受儿子的身份，就是父所有的都是我们的。那爱我们的主早已为了我们预备了一切我们所需要的，在我们还不知道我们前面的路是如何的时候，祂早已晓得，并且已为我们预备了。朋友们，我们要相信我们的主耶稣已为了我们死，更为了我们复活了！因此，我们所有的一切都是活的，不管是我们的家庭，我们的健康，我们的经济，我们的事业，我们一切的一切，都因着耶稣而活过来了。从前不好的，现在因着耶稣都变成好；从前不可能的，如今因着耶稣凡事都能。因为耶稣已代替了我们不好的，给了我们属于祂一切上好的福分。

从今开始，我们不要觉得要靠自己来成就什么事，而是凡事都靠上帝，凡事都靠那爱我们的主。因为祂是唯一最了解我们，最明白我们需要的阿爸父，也是唯一一个能够满足我们需要的主。要记得，如今活着的不再是我们，而是基督在我们里面活着了。阿门！

Blessings In Christ

Sunday, August 9, 2015

Ephesians 1:3 - Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.

You may think that this promise is only spiritual and it's not talking about physical blessings, then you're wrong.
My friend, God has blessed us all the spiritual blessings in Christ, and that inclusive of the healing that you need,
the supply that you need, the restoration that you need! What is spiritual is of power, what is spiritual speaks of the
power of God! And what is spiritual is of supernatural! Therefore, you're to know that when Christ has made all these
available to you, He means to give you all that is supernatural! Which means when you see if as impossible, it'll be possible!
When you see that this is the end, God turns it to be an opportunity to rise! So dear highly favored people, today know that all
that you need pertaining life has been given to you through Jesus! Thank God today that all the blessings have been written down
your name, and all you need is to believe your rights and receive and enjoy the inheritance!

Crossed Over

Saturday, August 8, 2015

John 5:24- “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.”
‭‭
Another translation tells us that if we truly open our ears and listen to the Word of God, believe in it, trust in it and rely in it, are actually aligning himself back to God, by doing so, we are letting Jesus to be in charge, and we've made a giant step from the world of the dead to the world of the living.
How wonderful! The word of God is the voice of God, and it's important that as a child of God,
we put our trust on the Word instead of on ourselves! Listening to Him instead of listening to the lies!
We all need to make alignment in our thinking each day, if we do not think of the high things of God, most probably most of
the time we are allowing the lies of the devil to Take charge in our mind! As you align to the Word, you know what? You're giving
Jesus to take charge in every areas of your life! When Jesus is taking charge, you can rest assured that all things shall turn to be well!
Why? You've crossed over from the world of the dead to the world of the living! You've crossed from the world of sickness to the world of health!
You've crossed over from the world of lack to the world of abundance! Your position has changed, therefore choose to listen to God today
by listening to His Word!

today know that as you receive the Word of God and accept it as your own; you've leaped from the world of dead to the world of living! From sickness to health, from fear to courage, from lack to abundance! :)

慈爱四面环绕你

Saturday, August 8, 2015

诗篇32:10-11
义人必多受苦楚；唯独依靠耶和华的，必有慈爱四面环绕他。
你们义人应当靠耶和华欢喜快乐；你们心里正直的人都当欢呼。

亲爱的朋友，你知道当你依靠那以永远的爱爱你的神是何等蒙福的吗？
虽然每一天都会面对困难和问题需要解决，但你可以放心因为神的慈爱四面环绕你，他已战胜了这世界，所以在他的爱里你是得胜有余的。
也许现在在你身上有病痛的现象，你要相信神那不变的爱并相信耶稣基督在十架上为你所成就的一切，因他受鞭伤，你是完全得医治的！
可能在你前头有很多大山在拦阻着你前面的路，但你当兴奋知道神不变的慈爱四面环绕你，没有什么大山太大神不能挪移，也没有什么事情太难他不能解决。
当世界的经济走下坡不稳定时，当到处在闹饥荒时，你的心不要忧愁，坚守基督为你战胜了一切的指望！神供应你并非照着世界的经济，而是照着他荣耀丰富的供应。
在破碎中，他不变的慈爱就来到，修复就发生了。不好的变成好，不可能的也变得可能了。

所以不论发生什么事，我们都当在主里欢喜快乐，义人！我们当欢呼且感恩，心里正直的人，知道神永远掌权！在他里面，一切都会是美好的！

今天来享受他那不变的慈爱吧！放松并且看神如何在他的荣耀里成就关乎你的事。
哈利路亚！

Unfailing Love Surrounds You

Friday, August 7, 2015

Psalms 32:10-11
Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in Him.
Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart!

Dear friend, do you know how blessed you are when you trust in the Lord who loves you with unfailing love?
Though there are problems that you need to face and settle every day, but you can take heart for God’s unfailing love surrounds you, He has overcome the world and therefore you are more than conquerors in His love.
Perhaps you have some symptoms of diseases on your body right now, you are to trust in His unfailing love and what Jesus Christ has done for you on the cross, that by His stripes you are completely healed!
Maybe there are mountains in front of you blocking your ways, but you are to be excited knowing that God’s unfailing love is there surrounding you, no mountain is too big that God cannot moves and nothing is too hard for Him to settle.
When the global economic is going down and not stable, when famine is happening, let not your heart be troubled, keep the hope that Christ has conquered all for you! God supplies you not based on the world economic but is according to the glorious riches He has.
In the brokenness, there His unfailing love comes in and restoration happen. Bad turn to be good and impossible becomes possible.

So no matter what is going on, we are to rejoice and be glad in the Lord, you righteous one! We are to sing and give thanks, the one upright in heart, knowing that God is in control and everything shall be fine and sound in Him!

Enjoy His unfailing love today, relax and see how God moves things favor to you in His presence. Hallelujah!

不住在黑暗里

Friday, August 7, 2015

约 12：46 - 我到世上来，乃是光，叫凡信我的，不住在黑暗里。

生活在这个恶者掌权的世上，很多时候都会看见或经历黑暗的一面。面对着经济风暴、流行性疾病、社会问题、暴力事件等等，人总会因着这些事件而陷入恐慌。但是，身为基督徒的我们，却有一个稳固的靠山，坚固的避难所，就是我们的主耶稣基督。纵然黑暗的势力在我们周围，纵然我们眼见一件又一件不好的事情发生，但是虽有千人扑倒在我们左边，万人扑倒在我们右边，这些事情都不能临到我们的生命中，因为我们的神是有能力的保护者，祂绝不会眼睁睁的看着自己的孩子活在苦难里。祂来到这世上，就是要把我们从黑暗的权势迁移到祂光明的国度里，好让我们的生命是有保障，是得胜的。

你知道吗？如今我们已不住在黑暗里了，因为当我们信从主耶稣的那一刻开始，我们便是光明之子了。神就是光，在祂里面毫无黑暗，而我们被祂纳进了祂翅膀的荫下，保护我们，看顾我们，我们也走在这光中。今天，那从前在我们的生命里的缺乏不在了，因为主是我们的富足；那从前在我们生命里的病痛不在了，因为主就是我们的医治；那从前在我们生命里不好的关系已经结束了，因为主是我们的联系；那从前在我们生命里的失败已经过去了，因为主是我们的胜利。当我们依靠祂的时候，祂能够把那不好的变成好，祂能够使那作尾的变成居首位，因为在神没有难成的事。

今天，我们要过什么样的生活，选择权在于我们。若要有好的生命，我们就要选择听从神的话。因为当我们甘心听从，就必吃地上的美物。所以，不要让自己活在黑暗里，我们乃要走在光明中，要得着神所为我们预备的一切赏赐。阿门！

赐平安的主

Friday, August 7, 2015

歌罗西书；3:15『又要叫基督的平安在你们心里面做主，你们也为此蒙召，归为一体；且要存感谢的心』。

有時会觉得得自己的生活不如其他人安逸。當身旁的人似乎都生活的顶不错，顯得一派轻松時，我们卻会因為一件小事而煩躁不安；每當看见旁人如此氣定神閒時，我们都会羡慕，總是想不通为何自己的生活老是烦扰不断。我们太在乎周围的环境，却忽略了那位最在会乎我们，定意爱我们到一个地步，为我们献上生命的耶稣；我们忘了耶稣是我们的源头。
然而，值得感谢的是，圣经提醒我们，只要有神同在，就可以找到那份真實且能使我得堅固的寧靜。帖撒羅尼迦后1书3：16写道：『願賜平安的主隨時隨事親自給你們平安！願主常與你們眾人同在』！希伯来书13：8也说我们的主是不会撇下我们，也不会丢弃我们的！
耶稣也说这世上虽有困难，但我们可以放心，祂已经胜了这世界，而我们是得胜有余的！在人生中遭逢動盪不安的歲月里，別忘了在那位賜各樣平安的主里面，你可以得着真實的平安。阿门！

The Perfect Lamb of God

Thursday, August 6, 2015

John 1:29- “The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”
‭‭
Every year when the sacrifice of animals were given to God, these sacrifices have to be so perfect that they are
without any blemishes. Therefore the sin can be covered for a year, and each year people have to bring in sacrifices
to God in order to cover their sins. However, we are to be thankful that Jesus came as the lamb of God, and ultimately
His purpose is to reconcile us to the Father through His once and for all perfect sacrifice. Because Jesus is so holy and glorious,
without blemish and fault, His perfect sacrifice for us has made us holy and presentable forever! Therefore when you're a
new creation in Him, remember that the old has gone and the new has come; so do know that you're already free from the
bondage of sin, you're free from all curses, you're free from death, you're free from all sickness and lack! Just trust in Jesus'
perfect sacrifice and live life more than a conqueror!

Choose to Rejoice

Wednesday, August 5, 2015

Philippians 4:4- “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!”
‭‭
Do you know that what is external can never affect you until you give power to it?
Everything surrounds you change, they are but temporary. The only substance that does not change
and is always consistent is you. Therefore, whatever that is happening around you cannot affect you unless
you choose to give your authority and power to it. But do you know what? Your internal can
always change your external! What is in you is greater and it certainly can affect what is outside of you!
But you've to make a decision, rejoicing is a decision. When you rejoice, you do not give power to the sickness,
you do not give power to that fear, you do not give power to that lack!
So, Change your perspective to God's perspective today, rejoice not based on your feeling but based on what Jesus has done!
That's the best remedy for your body! :)

你要认识神

Wednesday, August 5, 2015

约伯 22：21 - 你要认识神，就得平安，福气也必临到你。

我们要认识神，不单是知道祂，还要更深入的去认识祂，了解祂，知道祂对我们的旨意如何。你知道吗？很多时候，很多的基督徒认为我们的神是很严肃的神，若我们做的不够好，祂是不会祝福我们的；若我们不圣洁，祂是不会看我们一眼的。问问自己，什么是神眼中看为好的？我们又能怎样让自己成为圣洁呢？其实，神要我们做的很简单，祂就单单要我们相信祂而已。当我们接受耶稣基督成为我们的救主，相信祂的那一刻开始，我们就是义人了，是圣洁的，是毫无瑕疵的。当我们遵祂的话而行的时候，就是神所喜悦的了。因为经上记着说：我听见我的儿女们按真理而行，我的喜乐就没有比这个大的。（约三：4）因此，我们知道当我们按着真理而行，就是相信神的话，就是遵守祂的道的时候，祂的喜乐没有比这个更大的了。在希伯来书11:6也告诉我们：人非有信，就不能得神的喜悦；因为到神面前来的人，必须信有神，且信祂赏赐那寻求祂的人。看见了吗？祂非但喜悦我们，还要赏赐那寻求祂的人。当我们专心仰赖祂，寻求祂的时候，祂的福分肯定倾倒在我们的生命里。

每一个人都喜爱福气，都要得到平安，喜乐等等的好福分，而这一切不是奢望，更不难得到，只要我们认识神，这一切的平安，福气必临到我们身上！那我们要如何来认识神呢？就是藉着圣经，通过神的话，我们就能更加的认识神。我们不要风闻耶稣，乃要亲身经历祂。我们不要只听别人说，乃要自己去体验各样的美善。所以，朋友们，让我们昼夜思想神的话，无时无刻把祂的话刻在我们的心版上，我们就像一棵树栽在溪水旁，按时结果子，叶子也不枯干，凡我们所作的尽都顺利。阿门！

耶稣般的生命

Wednesday, August 5, 2015

约翰福音10：10『盗贼来，无非要偷窃、杀害、毁坏；我来了，是要叫羊得生命，并且得的更丰盛』。

有了耶稣做你我生命的救主，生命肯定能大放光彩！因祂是以生命传递生命，以生命影响生命，以生命铸造生命；使你的生命有基督的样式，带着能力与恩惠慈爱！
羊是短视的，只能看见近距离的焦点，却看不清远的方向，所以很容易走迷了路。以赛亚书53：6『我们都如羊走迷；各人偏行己路；耶和华使我们众人的罪孽都归在祂身上』。很多时候我们也如同羊般，只看见我们面对的难题，肉体的限制，今生的骄傲。。。等，却看不清背后所要付出的代价是生命的沉沦！于是，在忙与盲的生活中，我们都迷失了。忙得瞎了心灵的眼睛，只是盲目的跟时间赛跑，忙着追逐眼睛看得见的物质，却忽视了我们里面灵人的需要。
我们的生命必须以耶稣为核心，以神的话语为根基，把一切的忧虑重担交给祂，时刻以神为乐，在世人面前见证耶稣，身上常常带着耶稣基督的香气，这便是丰盛生命该有的特质。阿门！

林后2：14感谢神！常率领我们在基督里夸胜，并藉着我们在各处显扬那因认识基督而有的香气。

Position of Victory

Tuesday, August 4, 2015

1 John 5:5- “Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.”
‭‭
Jesus has conquered everything at the cross and He has made you more than a conqueror!
You can never fight by your own, but victory is already yours through the perfect finished work of
Jesus at the cross! He has redeemed you from all curses, sins and all the effects of sins such as poverty
And sickness! Therefore you are no longer a victim but you're a victor! You reign together with Jesus as the
right hand of the Father, you're sitting at the sure ground of victory.
So who is it that overcomes sickness, lack, fear, insecurity and so on? You! You have to be sure that it's you!
Therefore, when you believe in Jesus, you're standing in the ground of victory and guess what, it is for eternity!
No one can take that position of victory from you, it's sure and tell yourself today that "I'm a victor in Christ, not
a victim anymore!"

Keep You From Falling

Monday, August 3, 2015

Jude 1:24- “To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy—”
‭‭

Do not worry on falling back into sin, into your weaknesses, into all that temptations, why? Because God is able to keep you from
stumbling! He is able to sustain you and suppor you, and of course ultimately His goodness and love is able to hold you firmly and keep
you from falling! Therefore know that His everlasting arm is always underneath to hold you, and His glorious presence is always with you
to let you know that you're accepted and loved! Before Him you're sanctified and without blemish, God can no longer find fault with you because
you are in Christ! He sees the finished work of Jesus and you're already covered in Him and of course, all your sins have been removed!
Therefore when God sees you holy and without fault, see yourself like that too! And only with that perspective, you're able to come boldly to Him
with great joy!

密切的关系

Monday, August 3, 2015

约 15：15 - 以后我不再称你们为仆人，因仆人不知道主人所做的事；我乃称你们为朋友，因我从我父所听见的，已经都告诉你们了。

是的，从一开始，耶稣基督从来不曾把我们当成是仆人般看待，因为仆人不知道主人的事。祂要我们跟祂的关系是密切的，是常常联系的，是有沟通的，是能够彼此信任，互相关怀的。但是很多时候，很多的基督徒却以为我们跟耶稣之间要有一个距离，才叫做尊重；我们只能够照着神所吩咐的去做，不然神就不祝福我们等等的想法。其实，这完全是错误的想法，我们的主要跟我们有密切的关系，是彼此交流的关系，祂是我们最好的伙伴，是我们最棒的听众，更是我们永恒的朋友，是爱我们的天父！祂要我们享受祂所为我们预备的一切，而不是要我们成为马大，一直不停地在做，而没有花时间与祂亲近。

朋友们，耶稣要我们坐在祂脚前，如同玛利亚一样，听祂的话，享受与祂亲近的时刻。你知道吗？祂非常喜欢我们常常花时间找祂，跟祂联系，与祂沟通。祂享受跟我们在一起的时间，就好像一般的情侣一样，每一天都必须有相处的时刻，好让彼此更加了解，能够更加贴近。祂跟我们之间的关系不是生疏，不是有隔阂的，而是非常亲密的。不但如此，祂更是我们的依靠，我们的帮助，而且祂从来不曾背弃祂对我们的约，从来不会反悔祂对我们说过的一切话。因为祂是信实的神，祂所说的必要成就。

当我们常在祂里面，祂也常在我们里面。凡我们所需的祂都已供应了给我们，为要叫我们能够因祂得福。想想看，有那么一个爱你的主，愿意为你牺牲所有的神，你有什么理由拒绝呢？让我们与神之间有密切的关系，是常联系的，因为离了祂，我们什么都不能；离了祂，我们的生命会失去目标；离了祂，我们所做的，所得的，所看的，都是徒然的。所以，当我们甘心乐意的跟随祂，听从祂的话，就必吃地上的美物。阿门！
