彼得前书 2:24 他被挂在木头上，亲身担当了我们的罪，使我们既然在罪上死，就得以在义上活。因他受的鞭伤，你们便得了医治。(现代标点和合本)
1 Peter 2:24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose [g]stripes you were healed. (NKJV)

耶稣在十字架上亲身担当了我们的罪，使我们既然在罪上死，就得以在义上活。十字架的信息是这样的：身为罪人，我们本该承受审判和咒诅，但因着耶稣完成的工作，我们所有的罪都已经得赦免，如今的我们是蒙福的。我们原本注定过着充满挣扎和冲突的生活，但因着十字架，我们被召乃是要过丰盛的生活，在家庭和职场中都满有平安与恩宠。阿们！

Jesus bore our sins in His own body on the cross so that we, having died to sin, might live for righteousness. The message of the cross is this: As sinners, we deserved judgment and curse, but because of Jesus’ finished work, all our sins have been forgiven, and we are now blessed. We were meant to live lives marked by struggle and strife—but because of the cross, we are called to live abundant lives, full of peace and favor, both in our families and in our workplaces. Amen.

马太福音 28:18-19 耶稣进前来，对他们说：“天上地下所有的权柄都赐给我了。所以，你们要去，使万民作我的门徒，奉父、子、圣灵的名给他们施洗（或作“给他们施洗，归于父、子、圣灵的名”）。(现代标点 和合本)
Matthew 28:18-19 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (NKJV)

真道告诉我们什么呢？藉着圣灵的内住，神已把所有权柄都赐给了教会。每一个重生的生命，都已名副其实地拥有了神的权柄！这是基督信仰中不可或缺的真理。正是基于这样的看见和认定，我们才能一往无前、义无反顾踏出去，完成主的托付。来，看见并且说出真实：感恩我已拥有一切所需要的资源来传讲并彰显福音大能！我就是大爱的涌流者，大能的共享者！阿们！

What does the true gospel truth tell us? Through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, God has already given all authority to the Church. Every born-again believer truly carries the authority of God! This is an essential truth of the Christian faith. With this revelation and conviction, we can move forward boldly to fulfill the Lord’s commission. Come, let us see, and declare this truth: I give thanks that I already have every resource I need to proclaim and demonstrate the power of the gospel! I am a vessel overflowing with divine love and a bearer of God's mighty power! Amen!

哥林多前书 6:17 但与主联合的，便是与主成为一灵。(现代标点和合本)
1 Corinthians 6:17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. (NKJV)

当神邀请我们参与祂荣耀的事工之前，祂先实行了何等大的恩典！祂以生命为代价，为你付出了一切。当你从神而生时，你不是双手空空、一无所有的来到这地，而是藉着与主成为一灵，你拥有了祂的一切！哈利路亚！看见这真相并且放胆讲说属天真理：我就是爱所生的爱，光所生的光！所有需用的资源都已在我里面了！我已看见，我要享用并且挥洒！阿们！

Before God invites us to take part in His glorious ministry, He first extends to us an immeasurable grace! He paid the ultimate price — His very life — and gave everything for you. When you were born of God, you did not come into this world empty-handed or lacking anything; rather, by becoming one spirit with the Lord, you now possess all that is His! Hallelujah! See this truth clearly and boldly declare the heavenly reality: I am love born of Love, light born of Light! All the resources I need are already within me! I have seen it—I will enjoy it and freely release it! Amen!

提摩太后书 1:6 为此我提醒你，使你将神借我按⼿所给你的恩赐再如⽕挑旺起来。(现代标点和合本)
2 Timothy 1:6 Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. (NKJV)

保罗提醒我们，要把神已经赐给我们的恩赐再如⽕挑旺起来。在基督⾥，每⼀个祝福、⼀切属灵恩赐都已经赐给我们。但若要这些祝福在我们的物资界中被显明出来，我们必须激发、挑旺它们。那我们该怎么做呢？我们⽤我们的⼝——我们的话语——来创造、宣告和释放我们⾥⾯的恩赐。但关键在于：在你激发内在的恩赐之前，你必须先看⻅它，并晓得你已经拥有了。如果你看不⻅或不相信神的恩赐和祝福已经在你⾥⾯，你⼜如何激发它们呢？你⽆法激活你尚未意识到⾃⼰所拥有的。惟有当你知道并相信你已经拥有祂的能⼒和权柄时，你才能开始活在其中，并将它释放到你属世的物质界的⽣活中。

Paul reminds us to stir up the gift of God which is already within us. Every blessing, every spiritual gift has already been given to us in Christ. But for these blessings to be manifested outwardly in our lives, we must stir them up. How do we do that? We use our mouths—our words—to create, declare, and release what is already inside us. But here is the key: before you can stir up what’s within, you must first see it. If you don’t see or believe that the gifts and blessings of God are already in you, how can you stir them up? You cannot activate what you are unaware you possess. Only when you know and believe that you already have His power and authority can you begin to walk in it and release it into your circumstances.

箴⾔ 4:23 你要谨守你的⼼，胜过谨守⼀切，因为⽣命的 泉源由此⽽出。(新译本)
Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the outflowings of life. (KJV)

圣经教导我们，要切切保守我们的⼼，胜过保守⼀切。除了保守我们的事业、甚⾄⾝体的健康，就是保守我们的这⼀颗⼼。为什么呢？因 为我们⽣命的泉源是由⼼发出的。正如有⼀版圣经的中⽂译本所说：“你⼀⽣的果效是由⼼发出的。”换句话说，你渴望在⽣命中看到的⼀切，都源于你的⼼。这也解释了为什么有些神的⼉⼥难以经历神丰盛的祝福。他们听了神已经赐下各样属灵的福分，仇敌也已经在他们脚下，但他们的处境却似乎没有改变。为什么会这样呢？今天，当你把你的⼼调整到对的位置上时，那么神已经放在你⾥⾯的⼀切福份，就会开始在你⽣命中显明出来。你将开始看到⽣命的转变——你的⽣命将反映出基督的丰盛。阿们！

The Bible teaches us that, above all else, we must diligently guard our hearts. More than taking care of our business or even our physical health, caring for our heart must come first. Why? Because the course of our life flows from it. As one Chinese translation puts it, "your whole life’s fruits come from your heart." In other words, everything you desire to see in your life begins there. This helps explain why some believers struggle to experience the fullness of God’s blessings. They have heard that God has already given them every spiritual blessing, and that the enemy is under their feet. Yet, their circumstances remain unchanged. Why is that? Today, when your heart is aligned to believe rightly, everything God has already placed within you will begin to manifest in your life. You will start to see the transformation—your life reflecting the fullness of Christ within you. Amen!

以弗所书 1:20 就是照他在基督⾝上所运⾏的⼤能⼤⼒，使他从死⾥复活，叫他在天上坐在⾃⼰的右 边，(现代标点和合本)
Ephesians 1:20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, (NKJV)

当晓得这极⼤、⽆⽐浩⼤的能⼒，如今也正运⾏在你⾥⾯。这股能⼒是属神的——⽽你在基督⾥，就意味着你也有这能⼒。这表⽰：你是被恩召的，你是富⾜的，你是⼤有能⼒的。阿们！ 仇敌蒙蔽了世⼈的⼼眼，使他们相信必须追求财富和权⼒才能找到意义和成功。但我们却是不同。我们有不⼀样的呼召。我们的富⾜与能⼒，也与世界的有所不同。他们奔波劳碌、汗流满⾯，只为了得着他们所渴望的。但我们呢？我们在基督已经领受了产业。⽽且我们所拥有的，不是世俗的权势 ——我们拥有的是复活的⼤能！这不是总统 或世界领袖所拥有的那种能⼒；⽽我们所拥有的却是使耶稣从死⾥复活的能⼒！这股能⼒能恢复破裂的关系、复兴衰败的事业、扭转不利的体检报告。凡是真正认识⾃⼰在基督⾥⾝份的，没有什么是不可能的。因为，在神没有难成的事。阿们！

Knowing that this was the very same power God used when He raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places. Church, you need to know that this exceedingly great and mighty power is at work in you today. God has this power—and because you are in Christ, you have it too. That means you are called, you are rich, and you are powerful. The enemy has blinded the minds of people in the world, making them believe they must chase after riches and power to find meaning and success. But we are different. Our calling is different. Our wealth is not like the world’s, and neither is our power. They strive and sweat for what they hope to gain. But we already have our inheritance in Christ. And we do not just have any power—we have resurrection power. This is not the kind of power held by presidents or world leaders. It is the power that raised Jesus from the dead. It is the power that can restore a broken relationship, revive a dying business, or turn around a bad medical report. There is nothing impossible for those who truly know who they are in Christ. Because nothing is impossible with God. Amen!

以弗所书 1:19 并知道他向我们这信的⼈所显的能⼒是何等浩⼤，(现代标点和合本)
Ephesians 1:19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power; (NKJV)

这能⼒并⾮我们祈求得来的——它早已在我们⾥⾯了。⽽且这并⾮⼀般的能⼒，⽽是神那极其浩⼤、⽆法测度的⼤能，并在信的⼈⼼⾥运⾏，并借着他们彰显出来。 许多神的⼉⼥并不了解⾃⼰蒙召的⾝份， 也不晓得⾃⼰在基督⾥是承受产业的。因此， 尽管神已经赐给了他们各样属灵的福⽓，他们在⼈⽣中常常感到空虚迷茫。其实你已拥有⼀切，但有时候你还是觉得⾃⼰⼀⽆所有。 这种⼼态在我们的⽂化中尤为常⻅。许多⼈ ——尤其是在华⼈群体中 —— 从⼩就被教导要否定⾃⼰已经拥有的东西。即使他们拥有许多美好的事物，也会刻意低调，甚⾄说得好像⾃⼰什么都没有。弟兄姐妹们，是时候改变我们的说话⽅式了。所以下回当有⼈对你说：“你⽓⾊真好！”或“你看起来越来越年轻了！”不要推辞或否定。要说：“谢谢！”并把⼀切荣耀归给神。承认祂在你⽣命中的美好作为。这就是⽤被光照的眼睛来看的⼀部分——承认并看 ⻅神已经放在你⾥⾯的丰富。你乃是被召 的；你有何等丰盛荣耀的产业；⽽且神那何等浩⼤的能⼒，已经在你⾥⾯运⾏了。阿们！

This power is not something we need to beg for—it is already within us. And it is not just any power; it is the immeasurably great and mighty power of God, working in and through those who believe. Many Christians live unaware of their calling. They do not realize the richness of the inheritance they already have in Christ. As a result, they walk through life feeling empty, even though God has already filled them with every spiritual blessing. You have everything— but sometimes you feel as though you have nothing. This mindset is especially common in our culture. Many people—especially in the Chinese community—have been conditioned to deny what they already possess. Even when they have something good, they downplay it or speak as if they don’t have it. Brothers and sisters, it is time to change the way we speak. When someone tells you, “You look good!” or “You’re getting younger!”, don’t deflect it. Say, “Thank you!” and give glory to God. Acknowledge His goodness at work in your life. This is part of seeing with enlightened eyes—recognizing what He has already placed in you. You are called. You have a glorious inheritance. And the exceedingly great power of God is already at work in you. Amen!

创世记 1:24 神说：“地要⽣出活物来，各从其类...” (现代标点和合本)
Genesis 1:24 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind…" (NKJV)

当神说地要⽣出各样活物，并各从其类的时候，祂设⽴了⼀个原则：万物各从其类。⽼⿏⽣⽼⿏，⽽不是⽣鸡；⼈所⽣出的也是 ⼈。 同样地，当圣经说你是从神⽽⽣的，那就意味着你现在拥有祂的性情。祂神圣的属性已经住在你⾥⾯。 那么，既然你知道⾃⼰是从神⽽⽣的，在⾯对挑战时你还会畏惧吗？不会。因为你现在不是靠着⾃⼰的⼒量去⾯对，⽽是以神⼉⼥的⾝份去⾯对。⾝为神的孩⼦，你可以带着信⼼和权柄向问题说话——如同神⼀样。 我们常常祷告，并等候神为我们动⼯，期待祂的⼿来帮助我们解决问题。但神其实在等我们开⼝，对问题发话。 当⼀个基督徒真正明⽩⾃⼰⾝为神⼉⼥所拥有的权柄时，他就会放胆地宣告：“这个问题不能辖制我，它已经在我的脚下。”那份不好的体检报告？它也已经在你脚下了。 你的话语充满能⼒，因为你不是被创造出来 的，也不是被领养回来的，⽽是从神⽣的。 作为祂的孩⼦，你与祂的性情有份，也拥有祂的权柄。阿们！

When God commanded the earth to bring forth living creatures according to their kind, He established a principle: every creature produces after its own kind. A mouse gives birth to a mouse, not a chicken. A human gives birth to another human. In the same way, when the Bible says that you are born of God, it means you now carry His nature. You have His divine qualities living within you. So, knowing that you are born of God, would you still be afraid when facing challenges? No. Because you are no longer facing them in your own strength. As a child of God, you can speak to the issues with confidence and authority— just as God would. So often, we pray and wait for God to move on our behalf, expecting His hand to fix our situation. But God is actually waiting for us to open our mouths and speak to the problem. When a Christian understands the authority he has as a child of God, he will begin to declare with boldness: This problem has no power over me—it is already under my feet. That bad medical report? It is already under your feet. Your words carry power, because you are not created or adopted, but you are born of God. And as His child, you carry His nature and His authority. Amen!

约翰福⾳ 3:3 耶稣回答说："我实实在在地告诉你：⼈若不重⽣ (从上⾯，那些⽣⼉育⼥的⼈，拥有 相同本性的⼈)，就不能⻅神的国。“(现代标点和合本)
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (NKJV)

当我们说出得救的祷告时，我们是在凭信⼼宣告：我们与耶稣同死、同埋葬、同复活。圣经告诉我们，在那⼀刻，我们从天上重⽣了。那个“新的你”是从天上⽣下来的。你从上头⽣的，拥有在基督⾥的新本性和新⾝份。阿们！希腊⽂中“重⽣”这个词，意义与⽗亲⽣孩⼦相同——这意味着孩⼦拥有与⽗亲相同的本性、有同样的性情。同样地，当我们从上头⽣下来，我们是从神⽣的，我们与祂的性情有份、我们是与祂成为⼀灵，是⽣命共同体。当耶稣说“若不重⽣，就不能⻅神的国”时，祂并不是指⽤⾁眼去看⻅。这⾥的“⻅”实际上是指在地上体验神国的丰盛和真实。

When we say the salvation prayer, —we are declaring by faith that we died with Jesus, were buried with Him, and were raised up with Him. The Bible tells us that in that very moment, we are born again from above. The "new you" is born from heaven itself. You are born again from above, with a new nature and identity in Christ. Amen. The Greek word used for “born again” carries the same meaning as a man fathering a child—implying that the child shares the same nature, the same kind, as the one who gave life to him. In the same way, when we are born again from above, we are born of God, carrying His nature, His Spirit, and His life within us. When Jesus said that no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again, He was not talking about seeing with our physical eyes. The word “see” here actually means to experience the kingdom of God here on earth.
