Daily Devotion 每日灵修

John 15:7 - If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

Do you know that the moment when you are departing from your source of life, you cannot do anything?
Jesus is the source of our lives, like a branch connecting to a vine in order to get its supply and nutrients,
Likewise, we are to connect to our vine, Jesus, in order to get our daily supply and nutrients!
Jesus provided us a solution and method of connecting with Him, which is through His Word,
He says when you remain in me, my words remain in you. Connecting to Him simply means connecting to His Word,
For he and the Word are one, and how much time you spend on the Word equals to how much time you spend with Him.
The moment when you are connected with Him, you're allowing Him to download goodness and blessings into your life!
Choose to remain in Him by having His Word, ask whatever that you need, and it shall be done for you! ;)

申命记23：5然而耶和华你的神不肯听从巴兰，却使那咒诅的言语变为祝福的话，因为耶和华你的神爱你。

我们活在世上总会多多少少受过伤害，有伤害就有痛，有同就会有伤痕。如果你一直活在过去的阴影里，现在的你还是伤痕累累的活着，对未来也是暗淡无光，没有盼望。过去的阴影就像一股无形的绳索，紧紧的把你绑住，当你想要前进时，就把你往后拉，即使苦苦挣扎也无法挣脱。
如果要活得喜乐，就需要忘记背后，活在当下。要如何才是忘记背后呢？已经发生过的事情，根本无法更改。怎可能忘记呢？我又没有失忆。那么就以另一个角度来看待吧！那就是我们可以该变自己的态度，改变对那些伤害的想法，改变对过去事情的看法。罗马书8：28说万事都互相效力，叫爱神的人得益处，就是按祂旨意被召的人。
有一句话说：当你面向黑影，太阳就在你背后；当你面向太阳，黑影则在你背后。让黑影留在你背后，就是让过去从未过去，翻开生命新的一页，重新出发。
对于无法改变的过去，我们只能选择放手，如果紧捉着不放，只会自讨苦吃。因着耶稣对我们的大爱，我们要善待自己，不要再作茧自缚了。上帝已经藉着耶稣基督，给了我们全新的人生。阿门！

Psalms 4:6-8 (MSG) - Why is everyone hungry for more? "more, more" they say. "more, more." I have God's more than enough, more joy in one ordinary day than they get in all their shopping sprees. At day's end I'm ready for sound sleep, for you, God, have put my life back together.

The moment when you are hungry for more, remember that you have God's more than enough. You are not just having more, you are not just having enough, but the moment when you have Jesus, you are having more than enough! How wonderful! No matter what is going wrong right now, regardless how great is the lack, remember that God shall supply all your need according to his richest in glory. Put up your request to Him, He is your supply and your source! Even when you are in the midst of tears, you have more joy in one ordinary day than you can get in all your shopping sprees! How great is that joy that you can have when you have Christ! Jesus is the one who governs our lives, He is our direction, He is our vision and focus, therefore, remember, even if you are in an ordinary day, the joy of the Lord is abounding and overflowing! Sleep in soundness, for that's what He wants you to have, and He puts your life back together! All the missing pieces that you have encountered, God is now placing them back together! How blessed we are as children of God!

Matthew 3:17 And a voice from heaven said," This is my Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased."
Song of Songs 4:7 All beautiful you are, my darling; there is no flaw in you.
Song of Songs 7:10 I belong to my lover, and his desire is for me.

Dear friend, do you know that there is someone who loves you so much that willing to sacrifice his own life for your sake?
Because of you, he died young;
Because of you, he been pierced;
Because of you, he been buried;
Because of you, he been crucified;
Because of you, he became poor;
Because of you, he bore all your sins;
Because of you, he been rejected;
Because of you, he been cursed...
This man, is JESUS!
He loves you that He willing to die young and satisfies you with long life;
He loves you that He been pierced and make you whole and well;
He loves you that He been buried and make you become the righteous one;
He loves you that He been crucified so that you can live a life of resurrection;
He loves you that He became poor so that you can become rich;
He loves you and bore all your sins to take away all your sins;
He loves you and been rejected so that you can now be accepted;
He loves you and been cursed so that you are blessed!

No matter what is your past, regardless what mistakes you have done. the love of Jesus will never change.
While we are still sinner, He chose to die for us to redeem us. It is not because we deserve it, but solely because we are His BELOVED.
Is Him who first loves us, He never leaves us nor forsakes us.
So, rejoice and be glad in His unfailing love. Response to His unconditional love and praise Him at all times!

JESUS is forever your lover and you are forever His beloved!

诗篇36：9“因为，在祢那里有生命的源头；在祢的光中，我们必得见光”。

有時候，我們常常忽略了神給我們的感動與帶領，用着我們自認為比較好的方法解決眼前的事情，我們明明知道要耐心等候，要聽主的聲音，但又深怕神没有回应。要等待圣灵的指示，还是擅作主张，于是我们陷入挣扎。。。
神說：“我沒有要你獨自面對，我一直與你同在，永不離開你也不拋棄你（希伯来书13：8），你要来信靠我！”！但很多时候，我們把更多的信心放在自己的能力上，而非神的能力，雖然有时不是故意的，但這樣卻會放大了自己，當專注於自己的優勢與能力時，自然把神放小了，导致祂的能力无法彰显出来。

约翰福音3：30“祂必兴旺，我必衰微”。

耶穌說：“我是葡萄樹，你們是枝子；離了我，你們就不能做什麼”。 無論你的能力有多強，永遠不及於神，若離了祂，所有的功成名就都是枉然，因為祂是我們生命的源头！我们每天都會为手機充電。這就好比神在我們心裡的運行與大能，祂是我們一切能量的來源，是我们的生命气息，我们一生的事都在祂手中，我们的生命是与祂息息相关的。所以我们每一天都需要祂的话。阿门！

Song of Solomon 2:4 - Let him lead me to the banquet hall, and let his banner over me be love.

Do you know that when Jesus accomplish everything at the cross, whatever that you need throughout your Christian life has been provided? Which means, your healing is a done deal, your abundance is a done deal, your long life is a done deal, for what Christ has done, no one can reverse! Most importantly is, he loves you. There is nothing that you can do to make him love you less, and there is nothing that you can do to make him love you more. His love for you is constant, is sure, and is unconditional. Therefore you can never earn his love by your effort, instead you can only enjoy his love because of his grace. Let Jesus leads you today, He will surely lead you to the banquet hall, where you find all sorts of supply, all that you need are prepared. He has prepared the feast, and He only wants you to accept His invitation and come and eat! One thing that you can be sure of is, He has set his banner over you, and that banner is love! Banner is used for displaying a message, likewise, God displayed to you His love, when people sees you, they see love! Enjoy the dining with Jesus today, enjoy this relationship, and you will find that as you focus on His glory, everything fades into comparison!

箴言18：20-21
人口中所结的果子，必充满肚腹；他嘴所出的，必使他饱足。生死在舌头的权下，喜爱它的，必吃它所结的果子。

圣经中，摩西派了十二探子去了应许之地，经过40天有10个人回來说：“摩西，我們沒有機會了，因為我們太微小，他们太强大了”。請注意，他們口中的“我们”，說的都是軟弱、自卑、害怕，所以這些恐懼就找上他们。他们靠自己的能力。
而約书亞和迦勒却有不一样的看見，他们说：“摩西，雖然那地看似艱難，敌人也很强大，但我們知道我們的神比一切都偉大，我們是可以得到那塊應許之地的！ 請注意，他们的“我们”是与前者的“我们”相反，他们有着堅強及信心的態度，因此他们可以成为一个征服者。他们不靠自己的能力。

从这里就看到，負面的事情总是传得比正面的还要來得快，它们总是无孔不入，当我们开始嘀咕和抱怨，消极负面的事情就开始笼罩我们了。彼得前书5：8也告诉我们 务要谨守、警醒；因为我们的仇敌魔鬼，如同吼叫的狮子，遍地游行，寻找可吞吃的人。如果没有神的话作为防御，我们很快就被吞噬了。

這10個探子接着说：“摩西，你为什么要带我们來这里？我們会死在旷野的。。。”，你看，当他们说【会死在曠野】时，他们就真的在旷野兜兜转转了四十年，才进入应许之地。 所以我们的口不要消极不造就的话，永远不要说：“我不行的，我做不到，我注定命苦 ，我完蛋了。。。”。因為上帝可以翻转这一切，在人所不能的，在祂凡事都能。阿门！你会面临一些重大的挑战，但你要有信心，去成为一個征服者。当你有正确的态度，就像约书亞和迦勒一样，你就会有你說的話，享受一切丰盛！

Acts 16:25- About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God...

Have you ever been in the time of the pit? Probably you are at the darkest hour of your life now, you do not know what you should do and you have come to a point that no matter what you try, instead of getting better, it just grew worse. Do you know that God is with you and he wants to deliver you? When Paul and Silas was being caught and put into prison, they did not complain but instead at their darkest hour, when they were in pain and wound, they choose to sing hymns and praises to God. The bible recorded that even the prisoners in the dungeon can hear them! Therefore, they must be praying and singing in a loud voice! How possible to react like that when you're already locked in a prison, and with pain? Naturally it is not how we will response, but Paul and Silas did not look at the natural, but the supernatural.
Likewise, the devil will try all sorts of way to put pressure on you, but do know that rejoicing is a choice that you can make! Just like Paul and Silas, they can choose to cry over and complain, but they did not. As you rejoice in The Lord and sing to Him because he is good, it dissipates your fear and pressure; yet it gives strength when you're in your darkest hour! As you rejoice in The Lord, you shall see the chains of fear, bondage, sickness shall be broken, not only that, when Paul and Silas did that, even the foundation was shaken! Therefore you too can shake the world, your response and your decision determine what you believe, Paul and Silas believe in God, how about you? :)

诗篇34：1我要时时称颂耶和华，赞美祂的话必常在我口中。

活在世上，我们都有该担负的责任，我们不能无所事事，毫无目地的过每一天。我们是基督的使者，都有使命在身（林后5：20），但若没有以神的话为根基，靠着自己的血气能力行事，就會讓我们分心甚至偏離軌道，使命就变成了劳苦重担，人生就活得好疲累。

想要卸下重擔就要從讚美和感恩開始，聖經說，上帝要祂的子民開口讚美，當你开口讚美神，負面思想就會從你身上離開，心情就暂得纾缓不再紧绷！因耶和华所赐的福，是使人富足，并不加上忧虑的（箴言10：22）。当你備感壓力，不堪重負，或者感到氣餒、沮喪或焦慮时，你只需做一件事，就是開口讚美！即使情况仍然没有改变，不要放弃，只管继续讚美并宣告，順服神的帶領，你必經歷神的慈爱与生命的改变！

穿上讚美衣，代替憂傷的靈（以賽亞書61：3）。如果只是定睛在問題，就會讓重担忧虑把自己套牢了，导致生命停顿了。相反，当你开始以称谢进入祂的门，当赞美进入祂的院时，生命就悄然发生变化了。哈利路亚！
