Matthew 17:7 But Jesus came and touched them. "Get up," he said. "Don't be afraid."
马太福音 17:7 耶稣进前来，摸他们说：“起来，不要害怕。”

Many of times, the greatest enemy that you can face is never the challenges or the mountains around you, but rather, you are your greatest enemy. Nothing can defeat you in life, unless you allow it yourself. Many of times, we soak ourselves in the waves of our challenges, rewinding and thinking about how difficult it is, what a failure that we are, how impossible to be delivered from such issues of life, and we will never see hope again. Our thoughts defeat us easily if we do not take them captive, and bring them back to the thought and mind of Christ. To think what God thinks, to speak what God speaks is not a set of rules, but rather it helps you to fix your eyes and attention on God, when you get your thoughts align back to the Word of God, you will see everything shall dissolve! So get up from the negative thoughts now, do not be afraid, for Jesus is still in control! Amen!

很多时候，你生命最大的敌人不是你周遭的挑战或是大山有多大，而是你自己。在生命中，没有什么可以打败你，除非是你自己允许被打败。很多时候，我们把自己局限在难题里，反复的想着眼前的困境有多大，我们有多么的失败，要从眼前的困境中解脱出来简直是不能的，我们灰心失望了。我们的想法很容易就把我们囚禁，如果我们不先把他们俘虏，把心思意念夺回归向基督的话。要来思想神所想的，说神所说的，这不是一套规则，它却是可以帮助把你的眼目转向专注于神，当你把心思意念转回到神的话语，你将看到一切都会迎刃而解！所以，从消极的思想中起来吧，不要害怕，因为耶稣仍然掌权！阿门！

Acts 27:25 So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me.
使徒行传 27:25 所以众位可以放心，我信神怎样对我说：事情也要怎样成就。

Dear friend, how are you today? Is there lots of things overwhelming you? Are you stressed and pressured? Today, no matter what are you facing, regardless what are the obstacles ahead of you, you are to know who you have in life and who you trust that give you hope. Instead of paying attention to what the circumstances say, you can now keep up your courage by having faith in God that things will happen just as he promised. Instead of believing in what men say, you can now keep up your courage by having faith in God that mountains will be removed just as God said. Instead of looking at what you can do by your own effort, you can now keep up your courage by having faith in God that because of Christ Jesus, everything you receive shall be freely given and effortlessly from Him alone. So beloved friend, you can now no longer striving, no longer stress, for in Jesus, we found our rest, peace, joy, hope and all that we need in life. Have faith in God, friend, because of Him, you and I can now keep up our courage and move on in life victoriously!

亲爱的朋友，你好吗？ 是否有很多事情缠绕着你？使你感到忧郁压力吗？今天，不管你面对什么，无论在你前方有什么样的挑战，你当知道在你生命中有谁，并且知道给你盼望且让你信靠的是谁。与其注意环境怎么说，你现在可以放心相信神所应许的必要作成。与其相信人所说的，你现在可以放心相信神能够使大山都挪移。与其看你自己能力所能做的，你现在可以放心相信因着耶稣，你得以不靠自己能力从祂白白地领受。所以亲爱的朋友，你现在可以不再挣扎，不再压力，因为在耶稣里，我们找着安息、平安、喜乐、盼望和我们生命中一切所需。相信神，朋友，因为有祂，你和我可以放心地向着我们的未来得胜有余地前进！

Proverbs 17:28 Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues.
箴言 17:28 愚昧人若静默不言，也可算为智慧；闭口不说，也可算为聪明。

What a wonderful proverbs! Fools are thought wise if they keep silent and discerning if they hold their tongues. You may be speaking a lot of unwise words in your daily life, you may be unconsciously speaking destructive words over your finances, health and even your relationship! Do know that though tongue is small, but death and life is lying under the power of the tongue, for those who love it will eat it's fruit. It means that our words are seed and whatever that we sow, we will eventually reap! If you speak lack, you are speaking on what you believe you are, therefore you'll see the fruit of lack growing in your life! If you speak abundance, you're speaking on what you believe, and you'll see the fruits of abundance! It's just that simple, speak life and receive life! Therefore whatever it is today, keep your tongue in speaking faith filled words, hold your tongue on speaking hatred, complaints, curses and you'll see you'll eat the fruit of life!

多么棒的一句箴言！愚昧人若静默不言，也可算为智慧；闭口不说，也可算为聪明。在日常生活中，你可能会说出很多愚蠢的话，你可能会在不自觉的情况下，在你的财务，在你的健康，甚至在你的关系上，说了不造就的话语。你当知道，舌头虽小，但生死却是在它的权下，喜爱它的，必吃它所结的果子。
这意表着，我们说的话是种子，我们种什么，就收什么！如果你一直说你很缺乏，你就相信你所说的，你就看见缺乏的果子在你生命中成长：如果你一直说丰盛，你就相信你所说的，你就必看见丰盛的果子在你生命里！就是这么简单，说生命，然后领受生命！因此，无论今天如何，让你的舌头说出充满信心的话语，不要让你的舌头说出怨恨，埋怨和咒诅的话语，你就必吃那生命的果子！

Galatians 6:17 Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
加拉太书 6:17 从此之后，人都不要搅扰我，因为我身上带着耶稣的印记。

Dear friend, is there anything caused you trouble? Today, is your authority and decision to choose whether you allow problem to cause you trouble or you disallow problem to trouble you by bearing the marks of Jesus, which is believing in what Jesus has done on the cross 2018 years ago, He has conquered the biggest problem-death, what else He cannot do? Sometimes we allow feelings to cause us trouble, but today you can choose to control your feelings by using the word of God and be led by the Holy Spirit who dwells in you then let the peace of God guide your heart in making every decision instead of worrying.
Undoubtedly, sicknesses on physical body will surely cause us trouble, but instead of letting it to affect your daily life, you are to bearing the marks of Jesus by proclaiming because of Jesus's stripes, you are completely healed! Rejoice always in the Lord no matter what the medical or doctor says, for a cheerful heart is good medicine to our body. Career might be the one causing us trouble too, but instead of anxious about the job, we should bear the marks of Jesus by believing the favor that follow after you will create great opportunity for you. Instead of asking for a job by your own effort, let's put your trust in the God who never fails that the gift from Him gives you good position instead of just a job. Is relationship becomes something that trouble you? Instead of worrying the relationship will be broken, why not bearing the marks of Jesus believing that His love and forgiveness can restore the broken relationship? So, no matter what is going on around you, regardless how huge the wave is, let no one cause you trouble for you bear on your body the marks of Jesus which signifying love, victory, honor and glory!

亲爱的朋友，有什么搅扰你了吗？今天，是你的权力和决定是否允许问题来搅扰你，或是带着耶稣的印记不让问题搅扰，而是相信耶稣2018年前在十字架上所成就的一切，祂已战胜最大的问题-死亡，还有什么是祂不能做成的？ 有时我们允许感觉来搅扰我们，但是今天你要选择以神的话来控制你的感觉，并且藉着住在你心里的圣灵带领你，与其担心，祂给你平安在心里作主来做每一个决定。无可否认，身上的病痛也肯定会搅扰你，但与其让它影响你的日常生活，倒不如带着耶稣的印记，因为耶稣所受的鞭伤，你是全然得医治的！靠主常喜乐，无论你的医药报告是如何或是医生怎么说，总要喜乐因为喜乐的心就是良药。工作也许会搅扰你，但与其担心工作，我们当带着耶稣的印记，相信神的恩惠慈爱跟随你并且为你开更好的机会。与其凭自己的能力找工作，让我们信靠那信实的神，祂给我们的礼物引我们到高位人的面前，所得的不只是工作而已，而是居上不居下。关系是不是也能搅扰你呢？与其忧虑关系会破裂，何不带着耶稣的印记，相信耶稣的爱和宽恕能够修复破碎的关系呢？所以，不管周围发生什么事情，无论风浪有多大，人都不能搅扰你，因为你身上带着耶稣的印记，就是展现着爱、胜利、尊荣和荣耀的！

Psalms 42:8 By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me - a prayer to the God of my life.
诗篇 42:8 白昼，耶和华必向我施慈爱；黑夜，我要歌颂祷告赐我生命的神。

Staying connected to God simply means having a relationship with Him. It doesn't matter how you feel, how many times you have failed him, but staying connected simply requires you to trust Him, and believe that He still loves you no matter what. Therefore, do not lose heart, no matter what is going around you, remember that Jesus is still enthroned and He is able to bring you through your situation. All you need to do is to keep your thoughts occupied with Him instead of the issues, let this wonderful morning kicks off by remembering how much that He loves you, and know that the love of God is always there to direct your steps. Therefore, be conscious of His love, watch and see how He directs your steps. As you encounter His unfailing love, all you want to do at night is to sing a song to your Abba Father, for He has been good to you, for He has been faithful, for He is truly the
God of your life!

与神相交意味着与祂有一份关系。不管你的感觉如何，无论有多少次你失信于祂，但与祂相交只单单因着你信任祂，相信无论你如何，祂依然是爱你的神。所以，不要丢弃勇敢的心，无论你周围发生什么事，记得耶稣祂仍然掌权，而祂也有能力带你走过这一切。你所要做的就是连接在祂里面，把你整个心思意念放在祂那里，而不是让问题占据你的思想。在这美好早晨，让神的爱来拉开序幕吧，晓得神是以祂不变的爱来引领你前面的路。所以晓得祂爱你，来经历祂如何来带领你前进。当你享受在祂爱同在里，无论夜有多黑，因着祂的信实，祂是你生命中真实的神，你都能来向你的阿爸父歌唱！

John10:4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.
约翰福音10:4 既放出自己的羊来，就在前头走，羊也跟着祂，因为认得祂的声音。

Dear friend, what do you see in front you in life right now? Mountain? Waves? Problems? Debts? Regardless what might be in your sight, you are to know and be glad that the Shepherd you trust-JESUS, is ahead of you. He is ahead of you leading you through the troubles that bothering you; Jesus is ahead of you breaking all the curses and bring you countless blessings; Jesus is ahead of you restoring all the brokenness in life; Jesus is ahead of you healing all your sicknesses through the stripes he borne 2018 years ago; Jesus is ahead of you clearing all the mountain that blocking your ways; Jesus is ahead of you making sure that bad turn into good and impossible becomes possible! So, all we need to do is following him by knowing his voice, which is through the word. (John1:1) Because of Christ Jesus, we no longer see problems ahead of us but is Jesus-the shepherd is ahead of us leading us through everything! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!

亲爱的朋友，你看见你生命的前方出现的是什么呢？大山？风浪？问题？债务？不管你眼前看的是什么，你当知道且开心因为你所信的牧者-耶稣，就在你前头。耶稣在你前头带领你走过那些缠绕你的问题；耶稣在你前头破除一切咒诅并且带给你无数的祝福；耶稣在你前头修复生命中的破碎；耶稣在你前头藉着2018年前为你受的鞭伤医治你一切的疾病；耶稣在你前头除掉一切拦阻你前进的大山；耶稣在你前头把一切不好的变成好，把不可能的变成可能！所以，我们所需要做的，就是藉着祂的话，听从且认得祂的声音（约翰福音1：1)。因为基督耶稣，我们不再是看见前头的问题，而是看见那走在我们前头的耶稣-就是那好牧者，带领着我们走过一切！哈利路亚！赞美主！

Psalms 25:12 Who, then, is the man that fears the Lord? He will instruct him in the way chosen for him.
诗篇 25:12 谁敬畏耶和华，耶和华必指示他当选择的道路。

Dear friend, are you facing a difficult time on making decision? That is a common problem that everyone will encounter each day as we have to make decision every single second. Maybe you are struggling in making important decision that man cannot understand or help, but take heart, for you have a God who loves you so much that He is always there to help you through. Remember, Jesus says, He is the way, the truth and the life, therefore, choose Jesus in life and put Him as first priority in life, knowing that He is able and is willing to take care of your life. Because of Jesus, the path of righteousness has no death (no dead end and nothing is impossible). Fear the Lord is not afraid of Him but simply means put Him as the centre of your life and rely on Him daily in whatever you do. Friends, allow God to work through you today. Choose Him and depend on Him, surely He will instruct you the right way to choose. All we need to do is listen, obey, believe and receive! Back to His words and know what He has prepared for you. With Him, you need not to worry about your future anymore. Commit to the Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed! Be blessed!

1Corinthians 3:11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
哥林多前书 3:11 因为那已经立好的根基就是耶稣基督，此外没有人能立别的根基。

Dear friend, I believe you know how important a foundation is. A building without foundation does not stand, likewise, your life without foundation also will fall easily. Today, what is the foundation of your life? Is career your foundation? Or health? Or wealth? Yourself? Or God is the foundation? Foundation of life simply means the thing you put as first in your life, it is your priority of priorities. Therefore, let Jesus be the center of it all for He is the one before all things and in Him all things hold together. (Colossians 1:17) You know what, everything was created through the word of God (Hebrews 11:3), and Jesus is the word (John 1:1).
Hence, how much time we spent in the word is actually how much time we spent with God. And since the word is the beginning and foundation of everything, let the word also be the foundation of our life. In the Word, we found the answers; in the Word, our directions found; in the Word, our problems resolved! Once again I urge you, let Jesus-the Word, be the foundation of our life, surely nothing is too big or too strong that can be against us, for our Lord is the biggest and strongest! (Psalm 147:5 & Jeremiah 32:17) Be blessed!

亲爱的朋友，我相信你该知道根基有多么的重要。一个建筑物若没有根基就不能站立；同样的，你的生命若没有根基也会很容易倒塌。今天，你生命的根基是什么？工作是你的根基？或是健康？或是财富？还是你自己？又或者神才是你的根基？生命的根基就是你所放为第一，重要中最重要的。因此，让耶稣成为一切的元首，因为祂在万有之先，一切都是靠祂而立的。（歌罗西书2:17）你知道吗？一切都是藉着神的话所造的（希伯来书11:3），而耶稣就是道（约翰福音1:1）。
所以，我们花多少时间在神的话，就是与神花了多少时间。而且神的话是一切的开始，也是一切的根基，那么就让神的话成为我们生命的根基吧！在祂的话里，我们找着答案；在祂的话里，我们寻得了方向；在神的话里，我们的问题得以解决！再一次我劝你，让耶稣-神的话，成为我们生命的根基，肯定没有什么太大太难的事情能难倒我们，因为我们的主最大最有能力！（诗篇147:5 及耶利米书32:17）主大大的祝福你！

Jeremiah 31:3 The Lord appeared to us in the past saying: " I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness."
耶利米书 31:3 古时耶和华向以色列显现，说：“我以永远的爱爱你，因此我以慈爱吸引你。”

Dear friend, have you ever received a love letter before? What is your response when you receive a love letter? How do you feel when someone says that he/she loves you? Isn't it sweet and glad? Do you know that there is a 100% man and 100% God-Jesus, who loves you so much that He willing to come down from heaven to earth, live in this world just to sympathize all your weaknesses, and finally walked to the cross just for the sake of bearing all your sins and shame simply because He loves you and want to redeem you by sacrificing His own life?
Today, we all are actually have a love letter that remains forever-BIBLE. In this love letter, it has stated what your lover-JESUS, has done for you. From the first page of BIBLE to the last page of BIBLE actually revealing the coming of JESUS, how JESUS was sent to the world to save you, what did JESUS does to make our life different and after all is how much HE loves you! The love God has for you and me is not based on the performance we have but is solely depending on the everlasting love that never changed!
Therefore, no matter what is your past, regardless what are you facing right now, the love of God will never changed! What He has written and promised are all yours and they remain forever! When you believe, that is when you receive. Amen!

亲爱的朋友，你曾经收过情书吗？当你收到情书时是什么反应？当有人跟你说他爱你时你有什么样的感觉？是否很甜蜜很开心？你可否知道有一个100%的人，也是100%的神-耶稣，非常地爱你爱到一个地步愿意为你从天上来到这世间，住在这世界只为了体恤你的一切软弱，然后到最终走上十字架为担当你所有的罪和羞辱，只因为祂爱你，且用祂自己的生命来救赎你？
今天，其实我们每个都拥有一本恒古不变的情书-圣经。在这情书里，它记载了你的爱人-耶稣，为你所做的一切。从圣经的第一面到最后一面其实都在描述耶稣的到来，耶稣如何来到这世上救你，耶稣成就了什么改变你的生命，还有最终是关乎祂有多么的爱你！神对你我的爱并非凭着我们的表现，而是凭着祂那永远不变的爱！
所以，不管你的过去如何，无论你现在面对的是什么，神的爱永远都不会变！祂所记载所应许的都是你的并且它们永远长存！你什么时候相信，你就什么时候领受。阿门！
