Daily Devotion 每日灵修

Acts 5:29- Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings!

What you obey today shows what you focus and submit to, for instance, if you are
obeying the doctor's report and believe that you're sick, you're submitting to that report and
shows your focus on it. Therefore, God wants us to obey and trust Him not because of for His
benefits, but rather, ours. It helps us to turn our focus back to Jesus and His finished work, and live
life in accordance and obedience in His Word!
Therefore, regardless how people may perceive you, what the word of men have said, remember that
the basis of your life is based on the Word of God. Today, choose to follow the Word of God, focus on
Jesus instead of man, and taste His goodness and faithfulness!

创世记9：12-14
神说：我与你们并你们这里的各样活物所立的永约是有记号的。我把虹放在云彩中，这就可作我与地立约的记号了。我使云彩盖地的时候，必有虹现在云彩中。

我们永远无法预测下一刻会发生什么事，但总要记得，有一道美丽的彩虹高高挂在天空，当你抬起头来，就看见祂立约的记号。你就知道虽然世事难料，但生命在神手中，我们在世上是寄居的，我们永恒的家在天上。所无论环境如何，天父都在看顾守护着我们，默然爱我们，时刻与我们同在（西番亚书3：17）。

彩虹，不是时时可以看见，但是你知道它存在。守住你心中的这道彩虹，知道耶稣已经救赎了我们，以仁爱和慈悲为我们的冠冕（诗篇103：4），我们完全得自由与释放了（加拉太书5:1），所以我们可以抬起头来，昂首前进。别再眷恋过去，别再沉浸在悲伤中，我们的生命必如天空中七彩的虹，美丽的绽放！哈利路亚！

John 11:25 - Jesus said to her, " I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.

Do you believe that Jesus is risen? All that He has done, He did it because of you. You are the reason He went to the cross, and you are the
reason that He lives. Therefore, you can be sure that when Jesus has risen, there is nothing that can hold him back! He has conquered death and
death is no match to Him. How much more is your problem, your challenges, your sickness, your depression? They are certainly no match to Jesus!
He is the resurrection, and He lives in you. Which means, you now have the resurrection in you. It is not going to happen, it is already in you!
He is the life, and He lives in you. Which means, you now have the life in you, and no death is able to withhold His life!
All you need is to believe in Him, if you can believe, all things are possible for those who believes! And those seem to be dead shall turn to be alive
again! Your finance shall turn to be alive, your health shall turn to be alive, your future shall turn to be alive, just because you have a God who has risen
and nothing is too hard for Him!

1Cor 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Rom1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

Dear friend, do you know that the message of the cross is the gospel you and I heard today? It is all about the gift of salvation that redeems us from the darkness into light.
2015 years ago, the Son of God became Son of man, He came down from the heaven to earth, walked through the journey of life for 33 years on this earth just like you and me, solely because He loves you and sympathize with our weaknesses, He has been tempted in every way just as we are-yet was without sin.
That is JESUS CHRIST!
He died for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.
He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrow so that today you and I can live a life of worry-free and stress-free, knowing that the power of the cross has set us free;
He was pierced for our transgression so that we are now free from the punishment and there is now no more condemnation in Christ Jesus;
He was crushed for our iniquities to take away all our sins and by the power of the cross, our sins and lawless deeds God will remember no more;
He was been punished so that today you and I can live a life of peace for we no longer need to be punished;
By His wounds, we are healed!

Therefore, by the power of the cross, we are now healthy, wealthy, joyful, peaceful, and can live a life of abundance!
In Christ Jesus, we are highly favored, greatly blessed and deeply loved!

Romans 5:8 - But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Take time to remember what Christ has done for you and I today, He came to bring us new life, and life more abundantly.
He came to do whatever that we could not by our own effort. The reason that He died is because of you, because He loves you,
because He saw the great satisfaction and joy ahead, therefore He chose to walk up to the cross for you. God never demonstrate
His love by only talking, but how He demonstrated it: while you were still sinner, Jesus died for you. While you were still in your most
undeserving state, He chose to die for you. He gave up His life so that you can have life, He was dead so that you can be alive, He was
being crushed and beaten so that you can be wholeness and health, He was being despised and shamed so that today you can lift up
your head. Therefore, take time to remember Him today, that is how much that He loves you!

Psalm 89:9- You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still them.

What are the waves that mounted up before you now? Fear? The seriousness of your medical report?
The great lack? Whatever it is, do not be afraid and don't worry. Do you know that one word from Jesus is
able to calm the storms and quiet down the sea? Likewise, as you dwell yourself in the word of Jesus,
His one word will be able to calm and still your problems! Remember that when God says light, and there's light;
Even great darkness has no chance to stay! Likewise, when He said you are healed, you are! When He said you shall
live in abundance, you are! For God is able to still that fear, turn your bad report to good report, and supply your
needs more than you ask and think of! Trust Him and know that He will never fail!

申命记31：8耶和华必在你前面行，祂必与你同在，必不撇下你，也不丢弃你。不要惧怕，也并不要惊慌。

从此刻开始，我们正在进入一个新的季节中，上帝要向我們显明祂那最純全美善的旨意。祂向我们所怀的意念永远是那赐平安的意念，要叫我们的生命有指望（耶利米书29：11）。也許现在你心里有蓝图與梦想，你一直在祈祷如何前进，如何落实它。相信在这个新的季节里，神会引导你前方的道路，只要我們持持续不断的祷告，学习信靠祂，神也必帮助我們。
诗篇25：12谁敬畏耶和华，耶和华必指示他当选择的道路。
重新燃起你内心的动力，当你让神的话紮根在你心里，美好的事就要发生了，而你的任务就是凭着信心的眼界，相信神会一步步带领你。

“我们行善，不可喪志；若不灰心，到了時候就要收成”。 （加拉太书6：9）

Psalm 84:10- Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere...

Today you are to know that Jesus never leave you or forsake you, He has promised
you that He will never ever leave you without support and He will never ever fail you!
This is Jesus, the one who loves you deeply, accepts who you were and chose to die for
you at the cross. We can spend our days dwelling in the presence of our problems, thinking
and reasoning all the way through. But do you know that when you're dwelling and spending
time in the presence of your problems, it will not empower you but tearing you down!
On the other hand, one day in the presence of The Lord is far more better than thousand days
laboring elsewhere; today being in the presence of the Word is equal to being in the presence of
The Lord, dwell in His Word and you shall find life and breakthroughs!

诗篇60：12-我们倚靠神，才得施展大能，因为践踏我们敌人的就是祂。
哥林多前书15：57感谢神，使我们藉着我们的主耶稣基督得胜。

一个人面对仇敌，当要去胜过，上帝应许他必定获胜，因为胜利在耶稣基督里已经成就了。这是何等的振奋人心！哥林多后书10-：3因为我们虽然在血气中行事，却不凭着血气争战。我们打的是思想上的争战，就是要治死我们的老我，以及消极负面的思想等，把我们的思想模式调转过来，认的神才是我们的源头，我们都是亚伯拉罕的后裔，是凭着应许承受产业的（加拉太书3：29）！哈利路亚！
我们不得不承認，我们旧有的惡习，以及挥之不去的心魔，常常会轄制我们，叫我们不得自由，但靠着上帝的恩典，我们必能抵挡各样来自恶者的谎言，无论它以怎样的形式来引诱试探，我们里面的圣灵会叫我们分辨真伪。
哥林多前书2：12我们所领受的，并不是世上的灵，乃是从神来的，叫我们能知道神开恩赐给我们的事。
若我们仍做罪的奴仆，就无法享受义人该有的福份；若仍带着锁链在身，仍算是个俘虜，若心中仍有罪的牵绊，就无法真正享受生命；但感谢神，因着基督的一次献祭，我们是与罪一刀两断了，切断任何与罪有牵连的瓜葛，治死每一个枷锁。上帝若与我们同在，谁能抵挡我们呢(罗马书8：31)？ 所以我可以放胆说，我必不惧怕，没有任何的人或环境，能离间我们与神之间亲密的关系。罪的权势在上帝的光中，必站立不住。阿门！
