约翰福⾳ 5:39-40 你们查考圣经，因你们以为内中有永⽣，给我作⻅证的就是这经。然⽽你们不肯到我这⾥来得⽣命。(现代标点和合本)
John 5:39-40 You search the Scriptures for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life. (NKJV)

圣经都是有益的。当你查考圣经时，它们为主耶稣作⻅证。因此，圣经引导你到主耶稣那⾥去。它不会把你指向任何⼈。圣经为主耶稣作⻅证，然⽽上⾯的 经⽂说：“… 然⽽你们不肯到我这⾥来得⽣命。”这就是为什么我们来教会不是为了要得着更多知识，⽽是为了更多地了 解祂爱我们的⼼意。当你越查考圣经， 它会带领你更明⽩主耶稣对我们的⼼意。 很多时候来到教会，我们只看到主耶稣 的双⼿与祂所能给我们的，但实际上， 主已经为我们成就了⼀切。如果我们总是看到祂的⼿⽽不是祂的⼼，我们就会如同亚当⼀样，总是在质疑祂对我们的爱。当我们开始怀疑祂是否真的爱我们，当我们失败、软弱时，祂是否依然爱我们 呢？当我们怀疑祂时，我们就⽆法享受 已经属于我们的⼀切。但是，当我们来到教会时，我们看到祂的⼼意是要给我们美物，给我们健康，使我们变得美 丽，使我们兴盛⽽不是加害我们。教会，看⻅主耶稣的⼼，⽽不是祂的⼿。 当你明⽩祂的⼼意，你就不会怀疑祂的⼿能为你做什么。你可以很确定祂必帮助你，祂的⼿必供应你⼀切所需。主耶稣的⼼是永远向着你。

The Scriptures are truly good. When you delve into them, they bear witness to Jesus, directing your attention towards Him. They do not lead you to a human being. The Scriptures testify about Jesus, and yet, the verse above states, "...you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life." This is why our purpose in gathering in church is not solely to acquire knowledge, but rather to deepen our understanding of His love and His heart. When you explore the Word of God, it reveals His heart to you. Often, when we attend church, our focus is solely on what we can receive from the Lord's hand. However, in reality, the Lord has already accomplished everything for us. If we only perceive His hand and not His heart, we may find ourselves falling into the same doubt that Adam experienced—doubt regarding the Lord's love for us, especially during our moments of weakness and failure. When we question His heart, we cannot fully embrace and enjoy what is already ours. Yet, when we come to church, we discover that His heart desires to bestow upon us good things, good health, beauty, prosperity, and not harm us. Church, fix your gaze on His heart, not just His hand. When you truly comprehend His heart, you will never doubt what His hand can accomplish for you. Rest assured, He will come to your aid. Amen. You can have full confidence that His hand will provide all that you need. The Lord's heart is forever for you.

诗篇 142:2 我在祂⾯前吐露我的苦情，陈说我的患难。(现代标点和合本)
诗篇 142:7 求你领我出离被囚之地，我好称赞祢 的名，义⼈必环绕我，因为祢看顾我。(译NASB版)
Psalm 142:2 I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare before Him my trouble. (NKJV)
Psalm 142:7 Bring my soul out of prison, So that I may give thanks to Your name; The righteous will surround me, For You will look after me. (NASB)

⼤卫向神⾯前吐露他的苦情，陈说他的⼀切患难。圣经并没有要你把你的问题倾诉给另⼀个⼈，因为这样只会把事情变得更 糟糕。相反，当我们向我们的根源，我们的主，我们的耶稣陈说我们的问题，我们甚⾄可以向祂倾诉我们的不信。在埋怨的当⼉，⼤卫内⼼深处知道⼀件事。有时我们的魂就像被囚在监狱⾥。⼤卫呼求神赐给他⼀个启⽰，使他的⼼得着 ⾃由释放，使他可以称赞神的名。然后神会派义⼈(善人)来环绕他。在他所有的抱怨中，⼤卫内⼼深处相信神会看顾他。 教会，你可以跟天⽗诉说你所有的烦恼，你可以诉说你为什么不想来教会， 你可以诉说你的不信，但在你内⼼深 处，你明⽩祂仍然在看顾你。

David poured out his complaints to God and declared all his troubles before Him. The bible does not tell you to confide your problems to a fellow human being, who will only affirm it and exacerbate the situation. Instead, we declare our problems to our root, our God, our Jesus and we can even confess our unfaithfulness to Him. In the midst of all his complaints, deep inside David knew a profound truth. There are moments when our souls feel imprisoned. In these times, David cried out to God, longing for a revelation that would liberate his soul, allowing him to give thanks to His name. Then God would then send the righteous (good people) to surround and support him. Amidst David's lamentations, he knew in his heart that God would faithfully care for him. Dear church, remember that you can pour out your troubles before God. You can openly express your hesitations about attending church or your struggles to believe but deep within, you know that God will continue to look after you.

马太福音 20:28 正如人子来不是要受人的服侍，乃是要服侍人，并且要舍命做多人的赎价。(现代标点和合本)
Matthew 20: 28 Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. (NKJV)

亲爱的弟兄姐妹，尽管在百忙当中，纵然在我们⽣活中会遇⻅各种的状况和挑战；但当我们回到神的家中领受当下的话语，是⼀件事很美好的事，并且主给 了我们⼒量与勇⽓可以继续前进。虽然有时⼈会安慰我们，但⼈的安抚并不能保障我们的⼀切都会安好。 今天，当神跟你说⼀切都会转好，⾄⾼的神，爱你的神，差遣祂的⼉⼦为我们每⼀个而死，确信我们的神是最好的。然⽽，不要只看⻅耶稣⼤众化的为每个⼈⽽死，⽽是更要看⻅祂是⾮常个⼈化的为你⽽死。当你看到这画⾯的时候，你就会明⽩，我们三位⼀体的神时刻都在那⾥服事我们。 当我们看向耶稣 时，我们就认定在基督⾥的位置。我们当中有些⼈可能已经信主许多年，但我们从未意识到我们在基督⾥的位置。今天让我们都记得，我们都是神的⼉⼥。

Dear brothers and sisters, despite the busy schedule and the challenges we face in our lives, it is always good to return to the house of God to receive a word in season which can give us strength and comfort to move on in our lives. Some people try to comfort us with their own words but they cannot give us the assurance that everything will be alright. At this moment, God is telling you that everything is going to be alright. Rest assured that the Most High God, the God that loves you, who sent His Son to die for all of us, is a good God, and Jesus together with the Holy Spirit is there to serve us always. However, do not just speak that Jesus died for all of us in general, but make it personal. Tell yourself that Jesus died for you. As we look to Jesus, let us recognise our position in Christ. Some of us are Christians for many years, but we sometimes do not recognise our position in Christ. Let us remember today that we are all sons and daughters of God.

以赛亚书 55:10-11 ⾬雪从天⽽降，并不返回，却滋润地⼟，使地上发芽结实，使撒种的有种， 使要吃的有粮。我⼝所出的话也必如此，决不徒然返 回，却要成就我所喜悦的，在我发他去成就的事上必然亨通。 (现代标点和合本)
Isaiah 55:10-11 For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, 11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. (NKJV)

神的智慧如同⾬雪从天⽽降，并不返回。 反⽽，⾬雪却滋润地⼟，使地上发芽结 实，使撒种的有种，使要吃的有粮。“有粮” 指的是什么意思呢？就是当我们处在当 下的环境，我们有⾜够的供应来满⾜眼前的需要。“撒种的有种” 指的是什么呢？就 是神给了你种⼦好让你可以撒种，以供应你未来的需要。因为今⽇我们撒下的种⼦在将来必有收成。所以，神的智慧供应着 你现在和未来的需要。 第⼗⼀节说，“我⼝所出的话也必如此，决不徒然返回，却要成就我所喜悦的，在我 发他去成就的事上必然亨通。” “⾬雪从天⽽降，我⼝所出的话也…”。“⾬雪”指的是主的话。主的话如同⾬雪降下， 绝不徒然返回，⽽要滋润你的⽣命，使你的⽣命结出丰盛的果⼦。经上记着说：祂⼝中所出的话却要成就我所喜悦的，在我发他去成就的事上必然亨通。这意味着天⽗会供应你⼀切的需要。如果你有债务要 解决，且需要经济上的供应，圣经所记载关于供应的应许要成就在你⾝上。那渴望有健康⾝体的⼈必须从灵⾥预先看⻅他们已经领受了医治，当神说到医治的应许 时，这健康的供应必要在他们⽣命中彰 显。

The wisdom of God is such that the rain and snow come down from heaven but do not return there. Instead, the rain waters the earth and makes the land bring forth a harvest, so that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater. Bread satisfies your immediate need while by God’s wisdom the seed will satisfy your future need. The seed you sow today will bring forth a harvest in the future. Hence, the word of God, the wisdom of God provides for both your future and your present needs. Verse 11 says, “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void. But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it”. “As the rain comes down, so shall My word…” The rain refers to the word of God. The word of God that comes down like the rain will not return to heaven but it will water your life. It will make your life bud and bring forth a harvest. The word of God shall prosper in the thing for which God sent it. That means, God will supply all your needs. If you have a debt and need financial provision, the bible says that the word of God that speaks about provision will prosper in the area of provision for which He sent it. Those who need good health must see in the spirit that they have already received this good health from Him, and the word of God will prosper in the area of health for which He sent it.

箴⾔ 4:23 你要保守你⼼，胜过保守⼀切，因为它决定你⼈⽣的⽬标。(译NLT版)
Proverbs 4:23 Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. (NLT)

在⽣命中，我们守护着很多东西，但从来没有好好的保守我们的⼼。我们守护我们的事业，孩⼦，我们企图掌控⼀切，但我们不是神，我们⽆法掌控⽣活中的⼀切。箴⾔ 4:23 说“...胜过⼀切”，意思是胜过你的事业，胜过你的孩⼦，胜过你⽣活中的⼀切。你必须好好保守你的⼼，因为它决定你⼈⽣的⽬标。如果你选择被苦毒充满，或者选择认定已经没有出路了，⼜或是选择相信⾃⼰经⼀⽆是处；如果你选择被打败，那么摆在你⾯前的⼈⽣就是苦毒和失败。但如果你选择相信：因着耶稣如何，我在这个世上也如何！那么你就会超⾃然活出：你是年轻的；你不疲乏困倦；你如同主耶稣那般健康。而摆在你前⾯的⼈⽣是充满美好的指望，⽆论是医治、⼈际关系、经济突破等，在这⼀切的事上都充满盼望，因为在神凡事都能。

We try to guard many things in our lives but we never guard our hearts. We guard our business, our children, trying to be in control of everything. However, we are not God. We cannot control everything in our lives. Proverbs 4:23 says “….above all else”, which means above your business, above your children, above everything in your life, you must guard your heart well because it determines the course of your life.
If you choose to be bitter, to believe that you are old and useless, to be defeated, then the course of your life in front of you is going to be bitter and defeated. However, if you choose to believe that as Jesus is, so are you in this world, then you will start to have the belief that you are not old, you are not weary, your health is as good as Jesus’ and the life in front of you is going to be full of hope, including good relationships, financial breakthrough, and everything that is from Jesus. In God, nothing is impossible.

出埃及记 17:8 那时，亚玛⼒⼈ (亚玛-痛苦的劳碌) 来在利⾮订 (安息处)，和以⾊列⼈争战。(现代标点和合本)
Exodus 17:8 Now Amalek (amal - painful toil) came and fought with Israel in Rephidim (resting places). (NKJV)

圣经记载当以⾊列⼈过了红海，第⼀批 来追赶他们的就是亚玛⼒⼈。 亚玛⼒⼈是从“亚玛”字眼来的，在希 伯来⽂是“痛苦的劳碌”的意思 - ⽆论是在你个⼈的关系，⼯作，睡眠甚⾄财 务状况上，都是带着劳苦重担的。 而利⾮订的原⽂是“安息之处”。 仇敌常常把“痛苦劳碌”的思维丢在你 ⾝上，例如挑拨你与配偶之间的关系； 在⼯作上，把他/她与其他⼈作⽐较等。 这些其实都不是你⾃⼰的想法，而是恶者把负⾯的思绪放在你脑海中。它要你 认为这是你的问题，但那绝对不是你！你是新造的⼈；旧事已过，都变成新了。恶者把“亚玛”，痛苦的劳碌放在 你⾝上，使你觉得⾃⼰⽆法⼊眠，并且感到很压抑和压⼒，因为恶者不要神的 孩⼦们住在利⾮订 (安息处)。当神的孩⼦选择安息的时候是带着能⼒的。 安息不代表什么都不做，而是⽆论做什 么，都带着主的平安。他的⼼不再忧虑，他有智慧处理⼈际关系。恶者千⽅百计要把消极的思想放在你脑海⾥，使你⽆法安息；但神却要我们成⻓，成为照耀众⼈的光。当祂说祂为你回来，祂不要你的⽣活带着忧虑，而是要你享受 ⽣命；祂要你成⻓。

Amalek comes from the word “Amal” which in Hebrews means “painful toil”- whatever you do is full of difficulties and stress whether in your personal relationship, work, sleep or finances. Rephidim in Hebrews meaning “resting places”. The enemy will always throw “painful toil” at you. For example, these thoughts can cause you to question your spouse, comparing him/her with another person or comparing your career with another person. These thoughts are not yours but the devil sows these thoughts into your head. He wants you to think that is you, but that is not you! You are a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come. The devil sows these “Amal”, painful toils at you, making you think that you have insomnia, that you are depressed, that you are stressed. This is because the devil does not want the people of God to be in Rephidim, in resting places. There is power when a child of God says he chose to rest, everything he does, he does it with shalom peace. He is not troubled. He has wisdom in handling his relationships. However, the devil wants to sow many negative thoughts in your mind so that you cannot rest. But God wants us to grow, to be a light that shines. When He says He is coming back for you, He does not want you to be stressed about it but to enjoy life. He wants you to grow.

希伯来书 11:1 信就是所望之事的实底，是未⻅之事的确据。(现代标点和合本)
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (NKJV)

这节经⽂强调信就是所望之事的实底。虽然这些事在现实⽣活中尚未可⻅，但我们在⼼中预先看⻅，并相信神的真实是更加 美好的。当⾯临困难时，让我们不要因缺乏⽽哀叹，⽽是要宣告那美好的事，想像从神⽽来绵延不绝的供应，并相信祂会扭转⼀切。今天你享有健康吗？当然有！你有好的⼈际关吗？那是肯定的！你的事业在今年会蓬勃发展吗？毫⽆疑问，你都拥有！圣经⿎励我们⼤胆说出⼼中所愿的。主耶稣的⼼意永远是要把最好的给你。信不是否定现实，也不是认同现实，信却是与神的真理⼀致。

This verse emphasize that faith is the substance of the things we hope for. Although these things are not visible currently in the physical realm, we see it in our heart and believe that God’s reality is superior. When confronted with troubles, let us avoid lamenting about the lack but declare good things into it, envision the provision and believe that God will turn things around. Do you enjoy good health today? Certainly! Are your relationships thriving? Absolutely! Is your business flourishing this year? Without a doubt! The bible encourages us to speak out the desires of your heart. Jesus’ heart is to always bestow good gifts for you. Faith is neither denying nor acknowledging reality, faith is about believing in concordance with God’s truth.

以弗所书 1:23 教会是他的⾝体，是那充满万有者所充 满的。(现代标点和合本)
Ephesians 1:23 The church is the body of Christ and is filled with Christ who completely fills everything. (CEV)

教会，你们是基督的⾝体，是那充满万有 者所充满的。当你被基督充满时，真理是，⽆论你感觉如何 (你的情绪与感觉或 许会起伏不定)，记得我们不是凭感觉， 我们不是我们的情绪。我们真实的⾝份不被情绪左右。当你被基督充满时，你就完全被万有充满了。万有意味着你⽣命中所需要的⼀切。如果你需要健康，需要经济与关系上的突破等，你要意识到当你被基督充满，你就被万有充满了。唯有当你明⽩你的位置在哪⾥，你才会看⻅你供应的源头来从何⽽来。很多时候，我们尝尽办法要得着供应，并总怀疑能否得着充⾜的供给。为什么呢？因为我们不确定⾃⼰在基督⾥的位置。这信息不是来告诉你要如何改变，⽽是神的话在这⾥要再次提升你，开启你属灵的眼 睛，让你看⻅你在基督⾥真实的位置。真理是，你已经充满了万有。

Church, you are the body of Christ, which is filled with Christ who is omnipotent. When you are filled with Christ, the truth is that regardless of how you feel (even though your emotions and feelings may fluctuate) remember that we are not depending on our feelings nor our emotions. Being made of flesh, we do have emotions and feelings but our true identity is not reflected by our feelings. When you are filled with Christ, everything is completely filled. Everything! Everything in this context means all that you need in your life. If you need a healthy body, or a financial breakthrough, or a breakthrough in your relationship, be aware that you are filled with Christ and thus you are filled with everything. You will see your provision only when you understand your position in Christ. Often, we attempt to secure our needs by our own methods, worrying whether we have enough. Why does this happen? This is because we are insecure of our position in Christ. This message is not telling you how to change yourselves, but it is the Word that will raise you up, to open your eyes to see your true position in Christ. The truth is, you are already filled with everything.

约翰⼀书 1:7 我们若在光明中⾏，如同神在光明中，就彼此相交，祂⼉⼦耶稣的⾎也洗净我们⼀切的罪。(现代标点和合本)
1John 1:7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. (NKJV)

许多基督徒说你必须“照着”光而⾏，因为如果你失败了，你 就会回到⿊暗中。然而，圣经告诉我们⾏在“光中”。当你相 信耶稣基督的那⼀刻起，你的⽣命就被照亮了，你已经⾏走在光明中。经上记着说，⼀旦你成为神的⼉⼥，就没有⼈能把你从祂⼿中夺去。你可能是⼀只顽⽪的⽺，但牧⽺⼈总能找到他的⽺。你可以是⼀个浪⼦，但天⽗永远敞开家⻔等你回家。祂总不撇下你，也不离弃你。我们若在光明中⾏，如同神在光明中，就彼此相交，祂⼉⼦耶稣的⾎也洗净我们⼀切的罪。 “洗净”这个词指的是⼀直持续不断的洗净，意思是耶稣的宝 ⾎在你⽣命中的每⼀天不断地洗涤你的⽣命。你可能会犯错， 但这⼀切都被祂的宝⾎洗净了。你不需要承认每⼀个罪。你真的能为你犯下的每⼀个错误认罪吗？圣经说不信也是罪，甚⾄不相信神对我们的好也是罪。因此你不能为⽣活中的每⼀个过错来认罪。只要你如同祂⼀样⾏在光明中，你就已经洁净了。 让我们看看耶稣的宝⾎如何说到更美之约。

Many Christians say you must walk “according” to the light, because if you fail, you will return into darkness. However, the bible tells us to “walk in” the light. The moment you become a Christian, the light is switched on. You are already walking in the realm of light. The bible says that once you become a Christian, nobody can snatch you out of His hand. You might be a naughty sheep but the shepherd can always find his sheep. You might be a prodigal son but the Father always has His doors opened for you to come home. He will never leave you nor forsake you. As we walk in the light, the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sins. The word “cleanses” is continuous meaning the blood of Jesus is continually cleansing you, every day of your life. You may make a mistake but it is cleansed by His blood. You do not need to confess every single sin. Think about it. Can you really confess every wrongdoings you commit? The bible even says that unbelief is a sin, such as not believing that God is good to us is also a sin. Therefore, you are unable to confess every single wrongdoings in your life, but as long as you walk in the light (Jesus is the light), you are already cleansed. Let us see how the blood of Jesus speaks of a better covenant.
