Isaiah 41:13- For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.

When The Lord is holding your hand, what are the things that can make you afraid and worry?
The moment when you grab this truth, you'll know that no matter where you are, you are under
a hiding place, beneath you is the everlasting arm of God, therefore thousand and ten thousands may
fall at your side, but it'll not come near you!
So, don't be afraid and don't be in tears anymore today, remember that your Father in Heaven is always
holding your hand. You are not left as an orphan, but He came to you as a loving Father! He is now telling
you, I will help you; and be sure that when He says He will, He will surely do it! He is a Father that keeps His
word, so be bold and courageous today know that nothing can harm you!

以弗所书2：6『祂又叫我们与基督耶稣一同复活，一同坐在天上』

圣经里有一个叫米非波设的人，是大卫王的好兄弟约拿单的儿子（撒母耳记上20：16）。当扫罗和约拿单死去的时候，他才五岁，在逃难的时候腿受了伤，结果两腿就瘸了（撒母耳记下4：4）。当大卫王打胜战，他询问扫罗王家还有剩下的子孙没有，他要因着约拿单的缘故向他施恩（撒母耳记下9：1）。当米非波设来到大卫面前的时候，他说：“仆人算什么？不过如死狗一般，竟蒙王这样眷顾! ”（撒母耳记下9：8）。他觉得自己不配受大卫王的爱戴。

很多时候，我们也会有着米非波设的心态：自己算不得什么，即不够圣洁，也不够优秀，如何配得称为神的儿女呢？也许我们都不优秀，也不杰出，但是因着耶稣一次的献祭，如今在基督里的我们，是配的领受一切上好的福份。当我们信靠祂，祂能改变我们，而变得优秀与杰出，这一切都是因着耶稣的名！

撒母耳记上2：8说“祂从灰尘里抬举贫寒人，从粪堆中提拔穷乏人，使他们与王子同坐，得着荣耀的座位” 。你是被神爱戴的，祂的恩惠围绕你，祂的慈爱覆庇你，不要再把心门上了重重的枷锁，把自己困在幽暗的角落里。我们可以精彩的过一生，活出美好活出盼望。

试想，王的筵席岂不都是山珍海味吗？米非波设最终接受了大卫王的好意，住在耶路撒冷，常与王同席吃饭，虽然他两腿还是瘸的（撒母耳记下9：13）。我们纵然还是有软弱，还是有犯错，但耶稣祂体恤我们，不会因着这样而减少一丝一毫对我们的爱，祂看我们为宝为尊（以赛亚书43:4)。阿门！

Psalm 103:3- who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,

The moment when you accepted Jesus Christ as your lord and savior, you have to know that all your past, now
and future sins have been dealt with. Jesus' finished work is not just applicable for your past sins, but all. Therefore,
you can be sure that you're already forgiven, and God will not count your sins against you. When you know that you've been
forgiven much, good things will start to happen. So, be reminded today that Jesus has accomplished all things for you at the
cross, He removes your sins and remembers your sins no more! Therefore, when you know that you're forgiven, healing started to
manifest; because of Jesus' stripes, believe that you're already healed from every single diseases! No matter how bad is the medical report,
no matter how impossible it may be, believe in Jesus perfect completion of work at the cross, not the severity of your sickness, for no
sickness is too big that he cannot heal!

1John 3:1-2
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

1John 4:17b
because in this world we are like him.

Dear friend, do you know who you are in Christ today?
Though you used to be a hot tempered person, but when you repent (change of mind and opinion), that is when you are cloth with good temper;
You might have sicknesses in your body, but when you trust in the finished of Christ, that is when your physical body been renewed and restored;
Maybe you are lacking in certain area of life that man doesn't understand, but when you look to Jesus and know who you are in Christ, that is when you receive the breakthrough and super abundance flowing of supplies;

In Christ, you are new creation, the old has gone and the new has come!
You are now no longer slave, but you are an heir;
You are no longer a servant but the child of God;
You are no longer a sinner but you are the righteous one!

Remember this, friend, is not about your behavior that change your identity, but it is all about the gift of righteousness that make you to change the position and identity from sinner to righteous one!
Therefore, is not about your performance but it is all about what the Lord has done on the cross for you and me!
By the grace of God, we are not taking license to sin but we are been transform to be more and more like him when we know who we are in Christ and what we can do through Him who lives in us!
Hallelujah!

彼前5：8『务要谨守、警醒。因为你们的仇敌魔鬼，如同吼叫的狮子，遍地游行，寻找可吞吃的人』。
约翰福音14：26『但保惠师，就是父因我的名所要差来的圣灵，他要将一切的事指教你们，并要叫你们6想起我对你们所说的一切话』。

在电影里，音效師需要配合故事的情节，用电脑技术製造出各种声音效果。例如：暴风雨的响声，或是各种令人心悸的声音音；音效師為了让声音听起來更逼真，都会運用巧思來仿製。
声音可以仿制，各种信息也可以仿製。撒但最常用的其中一個伎倆便是仿製信息，它来欺哄我们，颠倒是非，使到我们辨不出真伪。哥林多后书11：13-14，保罗就说：【那等人是假使徒，行事詭詐，裝作基督使徒的模样。 這也不足為怪，因為連撒但也裝作光明的天使】。保罗要提醒我们，假教師会分散我们的注意力，让我们不再專注於耶稣基督以及祂的救恩。
我們常常容易被人误导及欺骗，所以需要圣灵来帮助我們。约翰福音16：13说：「只等真理的圣灵來了，祂要引導你們明白一切的真理。有圣灵的帮助与引导，我們可以在这充滿仿製品，假信息的世界里，找到給人平安的真理。所以让我们能敞開心来听从圣灵的声音，使我们不至走迷。

Psalm 118:13- I was pushed back and about to fall, but the Lord helped me.

Knowing that how much that you're being loved by God empowers you to move on in life.
You may be facing difficult situations right now, or it might be a dead end, but do know that Jesus is the
Way when it seems to be no way. You can be sure that your life is secured in His hand, and His love for
you will never fail. Therefore as a child of God, allow His love to empower and encourage you each moment!
No matter how strong is the force that is trying to push you down, remember that your Father in Heaven is
greater! He is your strong support, and He will never ever fail you! He will help you, therefore fear not!
When The Lord of the universe sustains you, who else and what else can tear you down!

诗篇27：14要等候耶和华，当壮胆，坚固你的心；我再说，要等候耶和华。
箴言9：10敬畏耶和华是智慧的开端；认识至圣者便是聪明。

上帝常從我們在忙碌工作中召我們出來，叫我們休息一下，暂时歇息，知道祂是神，然後重新出發。這段等候的時期，絕非耗廢，更不会是不值得的。
有一位戰士，当從他仇敵手中逃出來，半途发觉他的马有换馬蹄鐵的必要。一边，焦急催他快速逃生，不可耽误片刻；但是理智告诉他必须停在路上一家鐵匠門口，花數分钟重換馬 铁；雖然他听見敌人的马蹄声由遠逼近，他仍耐性等着马蹄铁裝好。當敵人和他只有一百碼距离的時候，他一躍馬鞍，笨馳而去，頃刻間脫离了危險。他的暫停並不使他损失什么，反而加快他的速度，使他脱离敌人的追捕。

上帝对我们也常如此：在工作忙碌的当儿叫我們有片刻的暫停，好恢復我們的體力和灵里的装备来走前面的路程。当我们听见时，我们是顺服呢？还是当耳边风？当我们顺服，就会看见那超自然的事情发生；反之，就会渐渐依靠自己的能力，而活得劳苦重担。在申命记30：19说这都在于我们的选择。
申命记30：19『我今日呼天唤地向你作证，我将生死祸福陈明在你面前，所以你要拣选生命，使你和你的后裔都得存活』。

Ephesians 2:4- But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,

Do you know that good things happen to those who are assured that the Father's love him?
Assurance in God's love for you is faith in your father in Heaven, knowing and believing that He loves you
empowers you to live life in the greatest state that God calls you to live. One who is not sure of the love of
God is one who could not put his confidence and trust on God, and therefore will try all things by his own effort.
My friend, every morning when you wake up, there's one thing that you have to set it right and in your constant reminder,
that is you've to be assured of today is God loves you! If you'll realize how much that He loves you, you'll know that no
matter what happens around you, He is your sure foundation, your Secure, your Refuge, and always your Solution!
Hence, you can move on in life boldly!

马太福音11：30因为我的轭是容易的，我的担子是轻省的。

当你愿意抛开那些自己恐吓自己，预设别人看待自己的眼光，设定自己跨不出去的障碍时，然后放胆的离开现有的圈子，义无反顾的向前。你就会发现，那就是突破的开始！神的话语已经赐给你信心，是时候你让他彰显了，当你相信，你所切慕渴望发生的事就要速速成就了。
你悲哀的日子已经完毕，神已将你的哀哭变为跳舞，将你的麻衣脱去，给你披上喜乐，好叫你的灵歌颂，并不住声。（诗篇30：11-12）

祂不会给我们背不起的十字架，更何况，祂早已经为我们背负了。因祂受的刑罚，我们得平安；因祂受的鞭伤，我们得了医治（以赛亚53：5）。当我们把生命紧紧与祂绑在一起，学习时刻依靠，就会发现，肩上的胆子不再那么沉重了。我们活得喜乐，活得轻松自在。阿门！
