向罪死，向神活
罗马书6：1-2
这样，怎么说呢?我们可以仍在罪中，叫恩典显多吗？断乎不可！我们在罪上死了的人岂可仍在罪中活着呢？

也许有人会问，如果在恩典中，就可以自由犯罪了吗？反正犯罪了，上帝还是爱我们；犯罪了，也不会被审判，反正有恩典作后盾，就可以为所欲为嘛！真的是这样吗？保罗说，断乎不可！如果是这样，表示我们还不了解罪的严重性，它的工价，就是死（罗马书6：23）。

上帝的宽恕并没有减低罪的严重性，耶稣基督为我们而死，正好反映了罪的可怕，因为这世上没有一个人可以担负这罪孽，只有上帝的独生爱子，祂是圣洁公义的，承担我们的一切过犯罪孽，代替了我们被钉死在十字架上。哥林多后书5：21说：“神使那无罪的，替我们成为罪，好叫我们在祂里面成为神的义”。因着耶稣的一次献上，如今当我们口里承认，心里相信，就都是义人了。

一切罪的权势和刑罚都与基督一同钉死在十字架上；而罗马书6:5说“我们若在祂死的形状上与祂联合，也要在祂复活的形状上与祂联合”。我们的老我和罪性也都随之一起被钉死了，因此我们的肉身不再受罪的辖制。这罪不是指我们肉身所犯的错，而是指由亚当所遗传给他的后嗣（就是我们）。虽然我们外在的行为还是有软弱，会闹情绪，会有跌倒的时候，但在灵里面，我们是圣洁的，天父看我们是全然美丽，毫无瑕疵的（雅各书4：7）。恩典不是驱使我们自由去犯罪，而是让我们着自由由，可以终身在祂面前，坦然无惧地用圣洁、公义侍奉祂（路加福音1：74）。

彼得前书3：18说，“因基督也曾一次为罪受苦（受死），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。”今天，我们不再活在罪的权势下，它已经不是我们的主，耶稣才是我们的主。我们仍然会有软弱，分别在于，在之前我们是罪的奴仆，现在是义的奴仆了（罗马书6：18）。我们的生命，向罪是死了，在基督里却是活的（罗马书6：10）！

2 Corinthians 6:2- For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.

Do you know that God is outside time and He is never limit by time? Do you know that for the time that you've lost, you can redeem them back in
Jesus' name? Therefore, instead of sitting there and weep about what you've lost, instead of worrying when will it come true, look to jesus!
He has promised you that in the time of favor and in the time of salvation He has heard you, and followed by NOW is the time of favor and NOW is the
time of salvation! Therefore, we are not here to say when God's time comes, I'll get what I need; oh, I need to wait for God's timing so I just wait.
But He said in His Word that He wants to help you now, and He has saved you now! Which means from all your situation, be it sickness, be it lack,
Now Jesus has provided you! Now Jesus has healed! Therefore, all you need to do is to believe that all things are done! When you believe, that's the
time you receive! So stop asking when can you receive it? It's only when you start to believe in Him, and when are you start to believe in Him? The answer is that direct, NOW! :)

约翰福音16：33我将这些事告诉你们，是要叫你们在我里面有平安。在世上，你们有困难；但你们可以放心，我已经胜了世界。

在二十一世纪科技如此的今天，人类甚至可以去到月球探索，却是无法掌控生命的生死。即使小心翼翼的度日，却也不知道在何时何处，会有什么样的事情会降临在我们身上；纵使已经做足一切安全措施，也无法担保平安无事。圣经里有一句话说的很贴切：其实明天如何，我们们还不知道。生命是什么呢？我们原是一片云雾，出现少时就不见了（雅各书4：14）”。所以应当珍惜当下，在还有生命气息的时候，让基督的爱从我们身上彰显出来。
基督徒在世上同样也遭遇患难与问题，但感恩的是，我们有依靠的对像 ，靠着耶稣，我们可以胜过困境，祂是我们的力量与避难所，在祂里面，我们得以刚强与重新得力。纵然有一天我们离开这世上了，也知道我们最终的归宿是在那里。
腓立比书4：6-7也安慰我们说：“应当一无挂虑，只要凡事藉着祷告、祈求和感谢，将你们所要的告诉神。神所赐出人意外的平安，必在基督耶稣里，保守你们的心怀意念”。以赛亚书26：3也说“坚心倚赖你的，你必保守他十分平安，因为他倚靠你。”阿门！
当你觉得孤单、害怕、疲惫、全然无助时，记得，有一位救主耶稣基督，祂爱你，愿意陪伴你，扶持你，安慰你，保护你，给你心中踏实与有平安。

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』。

Mark 5:36- Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”

My dear friend, if you will realize, fear and believe cannot work parallel, when there's fear, there's unbelief;
and when there's believe, there will be no fear! So what are you fearful of today? What is the area that you're
Always holding on fear? Let that particular area be in charged by God, compare how big He is and how small
will be your issues! Trust God that He is able, able to deal and defeat your issues in life, be it sickness, be it
anxieties, be it depression, be it broken relationship, be it lack; when you put all of them next to God, they fail in
comparison! Why? Because nothing can be as great as our God!
Therefore, if you'll see God as so real, you won't be afraid anymore! Ask yourself this question today, "Is God real
in my heart?" If you truly believe He is real, fear subsides and faith arises! Think and consider of His greatness today,
and you'll find all the rest of the issues cease automatically!

路加福音8：17 因为掩藏的事没有不显出来的；隐藏的事没有不露出来被人知道的。

撒旦有一个不可告人的秘密，是它千方百计要隐瞒的。
那是什么呢？
就是它再也没有能力让我们与上帝的爱隔绝！耶稣基督已经在十字架上成就了一切！
它不要任何人发现这个秘密，因为它想用罪来捆绑人，不让人到上帝的面前，并使上帝的儿女身陷在罪的泥沼中，摧毁我们我们的生命。不错，因着罪，我们曾经与上帝的爱隔绝。但耶稣被钉在十字架上时，担当了我们一切的罪，又代替我们死了；之后，上帝让耶稣从死里复活。今天，耶稣是坐在天父的右边。而我们的生命也是与基督耶稣一同复活，一同坐在天上的（以弗所2：6）。
我们一旦相信耶稣基督为我们的救主，与上帝的关系就得以修复，不再受罪的辖制，在基督里，我们不被定罪（罗马书8：1）。罪再也不能作我们的主，而且我们已经从罪的捆绑中得了释放（罗马书6：14，18），而且可以坦然无惧的来到施恩的宝座前（希伯来书4：16）。上帝已经使那无罪的，替我们成为罪，好叫我们在祂里面成为神的义（歌林多后书5：21）。

上帝已经张开祂的臂膀，伸向被罪奴役的人，藉着独生爱子耶稣基督，挪去人的罪孽与重担，赐下内心真正的平安（约翰福音14：27）。今天，撒旦的秘密已经暴露无遗了，它再也不能蒙骗我们。因为隐藏的事，没有不显出来的；隐瞒的事，没有不露出来的。（马可福音4：22）。坚定的相信基督已经为我们的罪舍身流血，在祂里面条，我们都是圣洁公义的。因为那在我们里面的，比那在世界上的更大（约翰一书4：4）。阿门！

Psalm 46:10- He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

One who is worry and trouble about many things is one who do not know how to find rest in God.
Worrying and trusting are both contradicting, you can't say I believe in God and yet you're fearful and trouble
on many things; but of course, God is still remaining faithful, no matter how you are! But that is not the kind of
life that God wants us to live, he wants us to love life and see good days, enjoying each day in Him!
Therefore, today learn to be still by putting down all the burdens on your shoulder on Jesus, eye on His love
and grace instead of your difficulties. And you'll know that He is God, a God who loves and never judge, a God who is
your Father!!! You see, when you know who He is and who you are, worry automatically cease, fear will depart from you,
why? Because you're now still and be at rest and that's the only time when you let go and let God!

Luke18:1 Then Jesus told His disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.
1Thes5:17 Pray continually.

Dear friend, do you know why do we pray?
We pray not because it is a religion activity, but we pray because we are building the relationship with the Father, just like how we talk to each others to know more about the others.
We pray not because we are commanded to pray but we pray because it is part of our life.
We pray not because we are begging for something but we pray simply because we know we cannot yet God can.

Friend, prayer is all about giving thanks and it is time for us to take up our authority to proclaim and speak life over our situations!
Whatever circumstances we are in right now, do not give up but to pray continually for we shall surely see things happen in our favor because the prayer of a righteous man-you and I (as we are justified by faith through grace in Christ) is powerful and effective!

So, we are to pray, believe and receive from the Almighty God in whom we trust!

罗马书8：37然而，靠着爱我们的主，在这一切的事上已经得胜有余了。

想要人生有一大大的突破就，必须丟下负面的想法，並开始以上帝的角度來看自己是一個赢家,是一个衝破难关之人，纵然有时候会失脚，却是很快的站立，是一个有活力之人。

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。

你不是宇宙中的一个偶然，終身漫无目的地遊游荡，你不再流离失所，你是属于神家的孩子，你是天国的子民。上帝对你有个特別的目标，祂並不想要你过着悲慘、沮喪、孤独、病魔缠身，失敗的人生；祂看你为“有能力”之人，祂要提拔你，让人看见你的生命是得胜又得胜的！若你盼望生命中的景況要开始好转，首先必须经由你的“信心之眼”看到它们的改变，你必须看待自己是富足、成功、得胜的。如同在以弗所书1：19说的，“。。。照明你们心中的眼睛，使你们知道祂的恩召有何等指望；祂在圣徒中得的基业有何等丰盛的荣耀”。啊们！
上帝预先设定在你內里的基因是个赢家，所以是时候醒悟了，成熟，长大了。让你的內心深处与神的灵產产生共鸣感，听见圣灵的声音说：“这就是我的本质，这是我受造成为的样式，因着耶稣，我是一个赢家！

路加福音18：27耶稣说：[在人所不能的事，在神却能。]

Psalm 91:3- Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.

Yes, the world might be focusing on how bad the spread out of the disease and the news of how
incurable the disease may be; but don't worry my friend, because you are shielded and well protected
under the everlasting arm of God! When He is your shield, you can be sure that no sickness, no virus can
be greater than God! Thus, Jesus has conquered everything at the cross, and He was scourged so that today
we can enjoy a healthy body in wholeness! Therefore, renew your mind today and turn your eyes on Jesus!
As you believe in Him and believe that nothing is able to harm you, you shall witness with your own eyes that
though thousands may fall at your each side, but it will not fall upon you. Believe in Jesus' good news today!
