西番雅书 3:16-17 当那日，必有话向耶路撒冷说：“不要惧怕！锡安哪，不要手软！ 耶和华你的神是施行拯救、大有能力的主，他在你中间必因你欢欣喜乐，默然爱你，且因你喜乐而欢呼。 (现代标点和合本)
Zephaniah 3:16-17 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: “Do not fear; Zion, let not your hands be weak. The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” (NKJV)

神说：“不要害怕！”当摩西站在红海前⾯，后⾯有追兵逼近他，他就把 红海分开了。神能带领我们⾛过问题。我们将⾛过红海，进⼊应许之地。所以，不要害怕。我们的神是信实的，祂现在对你说：“不要⼿软。”因为主你的神就在你们中间，祂就在这教会中间。⼤能的拯救者必拯救我们，祂⽤祂的爱安慰你。很多时候，我们渴望有⽚刻的宁静，⼀个暂时安歇的时间，但我们的思维却⽆法消停。即使在睡眠中，我们的思维仍然活跃，给我们带来不必要的压⼒。我们⼤脑中的烦躁混乱会我们感到不堪重负，难以抑制。我们的神今天⽤祂的爱使你安息。祂对你说，“不要害怕，我会带领你⾛过，你是得胜有余的。”

God says, “Do not fear.” Moses was standing with the Red Sea in front of him and there were soldiers approaching behind him, when he opened up the Red Sea. God can bring us through all our problems. We will walk through the Red Sea and enter the Promised Land. Hence, do not fear. Our God is a faithful God and He is telling you now, “Let not your hands be weak.” There is no need to fear for the Lord your God is in your midst. The Lord your God is in the midst of this church. And the Mighty One will save. He will save us. He will quiet you with His love. Many times, we yearn to have a moment of tranquility, a chance to calm down but our minds refused to be tamed. Even during sleep, our mind remains active, causing us unnecessary stress. The constant chatter in our minds can feel overwhelming and beyond our control. May the Lord our God quiet you with His love today. And He tells you again, “Do not fear. I will bring you through, you are more than conquerors.”

加拉太书 5:6 原来在基督耶稣⾥，受割礼不受割礼全⽆功效，惟独使⼈⽣发仁爱的信⼼才有 功效。(现代标点和合本)
Galatians 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. (NIV)

保罗说，受割礼不受割礼全⽆功效。这意味着任何外在的都没有功效。保罗接着说， 惟独使⼈⽣发仁爱的信⼼才有功效。即 是，爱⽣出信⼼。当你了解并理解祂的爱时，信⼼就⽣出来。因此，对“如何保守 我的⼼？”和“如何拥有信⼼”的回答是 — 藉着爱。 因此，你所专注的当是看⻅祂是何等深爱我们，⽽不是要如何来加增信⼼。因为⼀旦明⽩祂有多爱我们，我们就不再需要担 ⼼是否拥有信⼼这件事了。信⼼会不⾃觉地⽣出来。当你晓得⾃⼰被多么深爱着 时，你⾃然会有回应和表达。晓得祂是何等爱你，关⼼你，会让你在祂⾯前感到舒服⾃在。这就是你和主耶稣之间的关系。晓得祂⽆条件地爱你，你在祂跟前的姿态是舒适⾃在的，以⾄于你可以随时与祂交谈，告诉祂任何事情。主耶稣要我们知道，祂与我们之间是一体的。阿们！

This verse is the answer to all your “How’s”. Paul says that either circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. This means that anything that is external does not have any value. Paul then said that the only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. Faith expressed through love. When you know and understand His love, faith will be expressed. So, the answer to your “How do I guard my heart?” and “How to have faith” is – through love. Therefore, we need to switch from focusing on how to have more faith and instead turn our eyes to see how much He loves us. Because once we understand how much He loves us, we do not have to worry about our faith anymore. Faith will spring forth unconsciously from inside. When you know how much you are loved, there will be an expression of some kind in return. Knowing how much He loves you and cares for you will make you feel comfortable with Him. That is how your relationship with Jesus should be like. Knowing that He loves you unconditionally should make you feel so comfortable with Him that you can talk to Him and tell Him anything. The Lord wants us to know that there is no distance between God and us. Amen!

约翰福⾳ 14:17 就是真理的圣灵，乃世⼈不能接受的， 因为不⻅他，也不认识他，你们却认识他，因他常与你们同在，也要在你们⾥⾯。(现代标点和合本)
John 14:17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. (NKJV)

神所赐给我们的圣灵是真理的灵。世⼈不能接受他，因为看不⻅他，也不认识他。但你却认识他。你们也许会说你们感觉不到他，但他就在那⾥，因为当你们信主耶 稣基督的时候，圣灵就住在你⾥⾯。你们已经认识他了。你们在教会⾼声赞美，⼼⾥被感动，那就是圣灵住在你们⾥⾯的印证。你们和教会的弟兄姊妹讲论话语的时候，突然觉得豁然开朗，那份满⾜感就是圣灵住在你们⾥⾯印证。他不但与你同在，他也住在你们⾥⾯。主耶稣在这节经⽂⾥⽤的是将来时态的“将来”，因为当时祂还没有上⼗字架，还没有升天，所以圣灵还没有降临。但现在圣灵就在你⾥⾯，所以你的⾝体就是圣灵的殿。

This Holy Spirit which God gave us is also the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him because it cannot see Him nor know Him, but you know Him. You may say you cannot feel it, but He is there, because when you believed in Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit came to dwell in you. You already know Him. As you lift your voice in praise at church, and your heart is moved, it is the presence of the Holy Spirit within you. When you engaged in discussions about the scriptures with fellow church members, and suddenly felt enlightened, that sense of fulfillment is from the Holy Spirit dwelling within you. He dwells with you and will be in you. He is in you. Jesus used the future tense “will be” in this verse because He had not gone to the cross nor ascended to heaven yet so the Holy Spirit had not yet come. However, now the Holy Spirit is in you and your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

耶利⽶书 3: 19 我说：我怎样将你安置在⼉⼥之中，赐 给你美地...我⼜说：你们必称我为⽗，也不再转去不跟从我。(现代标点和合本）
Jeremiah 3:19 "But I said: ‘How can I put you among the children And give you a pleasant land,… “And I said: ‘You shall call Me, “My Father, ” And not turn away from Me.’ (NKJV)

你想拥有⼀⽚美地吗？这美地可能是⼀⽚实质的⼟地，也可意指⼀个美满的家庭、 ⼀段美好的关系、成功的事业等等。你所做的每⼀件事都可以是⼀⽚美地。神说祂怎样将我们安置在⼉⼥之中， 赐给我们美地。然后神⼜说说：“‘你们必称我为⽗，也不再转去不跟从我。”很多时候，当我们遇到问题时，我们会试图⾃⼰来解决，或者求助于他⼈。 教会，让我们专注看向我们的⽗神； 父祂爱你。对⾃⼰说，“阿爸⽗爱我。”约翰说，“我是主耶稣所爱的⻔徒。”当耶稣被钉 在⼗字架上时，约翰是唯⼀⼀位坚持陪伴到最后的⻔徒，因为他深知耶稣爱他。今天在教会⾥的是谁？那些知道⽗神爱他们的⼈。我们来教会并不是为了叫⽗神来爱我们，⽽是因为我们知道⽗已经先爱我 们，因着我们是祂的⼉⼥。属世上，你回家中并不是为了叫⽗亲来爱你，⽽是因为你知道他就是爱你。只有孩⼦才有进⼊⽗亲家⾥的钥匙。同样地，我们有进⼊到父家⾥的钥匙。

Do you want a pleasant land? This pleasant land could mean a physical land but it could also mean a good family, a good relationship, good business etc. Everything that you do can be a pleasant land. God asked how He can put us amongst the children and give us a pleasant land. Then God answered the question Himself saying, “‘You shall call Me, “My Father,” and not turn away from Me.” Often times, when we have problems, we try to solve them ourselves or turn to other people for help. Church, let us always turn to our Father in heaven. The Father loves you. Say to yourself, “The Father loves me.” John said, “I am the disciple whom Jesus loves.” When Jesus was crucified, John was the only disciple who was there to the end because He knew that Jesus loves him. Who are the ones in church today? The people who know that the heavenly Father loves them. We do not come to church so that the Father will love us but we come to church because we know the Father loves us, and we are the children of God. You do not go home to your father’s house so that your father will love you but you go home because you know he loves you. Only the sons and daughters have the password to enter the house of their father. We have the password to our heavenly Father.

⻢可福⾳ 4:20 那撒在好地上的，就是⼈听道⼜领受，并且结实，有三⼗倍的，有六⼗倍的，有⼀百倍的。(现代标点和合本)
Mark 4:20 But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit: some thirty-fold, some sixty, and some a hundred. (NKJV)

话语就是种⼦，好地上指的是你的⼼⽥。那听道⼜领受的⼈就会结出果⼦。我们可以听了道，但这并不意味着我们领受这道在⼼中。很多时候，我们更愿意偏向听⼈所说的话。当有⼈说现在经济不景⽓或我们 正在变⽼时，我们更愿意来相信这些话。我们更愿意来听闲杂⼈所说的话，⽽不是神藉着圣经对我们说的话。今天圣经有话对你说，当你领受神对你所说的，你的⽣命就必结果⼦：有三⼗倍的，有六⼗倍的，有⼀百倍的。阿们！你是否看到？这也意味着义⼈的道路是越来越明亮的。 圣经说，丈夫怎样爱妻⼦，正如基督爱教会，并且⽤⽔藉着道把教会洗净，成为圣洁，以使她成为⼀个荣耀的教会，毫⽆玷污、皱纹等类的病，乃是圣洁没有瑕疵的。这就是在末世的时候，荣耀显现在教会。基督要将教会呈现 给⾃⼰，作为荣耀的教会。今天当你就在教会中，你觉得兴奋吗？

The word is the seed and the good ground is your heart. Those who hear the word and accept it will bear fruit. We can hear many words but that does not mean that we accept them in our heart. Very often we are ready to hear and accept the words of men. We are ready to believe when we are told that the economy is bad or that we are getting old. We are more ready to accept the words of the people around us than the words that God speaks to us through the bible. Today the bible is telling you that if you receive what the Lord has told us, you will bear fruit: some thirty-fold, some sixty and some a hundredfold. Amen! Can you see that this also means the path of the righteous will get brighter and brighter and then even brighter? The bible says that just as the husband loves the wife, so also Christ loves the church, and He sanctifies and cleanses her with the water through the Word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. That is why glory will be found in the church in the last days. Christ is going to present the church to Himself as a glorious church. Are you not glad to be in church today?

约翰福音 6:63 叫人活着的乃是灵，肉体是无益的。我对你们所说的话就是灵，就是生命。(现代标点和合本)
John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. (NKJV) 

我们都是属灵的存在，因此物质的东西⽆法完全满⾜我们。这就是为什么所罗⻔王尽管他拥有巨额财富、房屋、妻妾以及任何他想要的⽣活，但他却说在⽇光之下的⼀切都是虚空。我们是属灵的存在，只能在属灵的事物中得着真正的满⾜。今天当你来到教会，让主的话语喂饱你的魂，这与你的灵性息息相关。当你是⼀位君王，你得以享受王的⾝份所 赋予你的⼀切应许, ⼀切都在你的掌控之下。地位与应许是不可切割的。如果你晓得你的位置所在，你就得以享受与该地位 相关的⼀切应许。但很多时候，我们忽视了⾃⼰⾝为君王的⾝份。圣经已经明确告诉我们天上各样属灵的福⽓已经赐给我们 了。所以是时候意识到我们在基督⾥的⾝份了。我们都是神的⼉⼥，在祂眼中都是义⼈，我们有着恩宠的位置。让我们不要低估这些真理，因为主耶稣已经为你死了，祂所流的宝⾎，确保了我们今天的位置。有时候我们都忽视去默想这真理。为我们舍命的不是⼀位寻常⼈，祂是天⽗的独⽣爱⼦。

we are spiritual beings and therefore, material possessions cannot fully gratify us. This is why King Solomon, despite his abundant wealth - possessing grand residences, numerous companions, and all he desired in life - concluded that everything beneath the sun is only emptiness. As spiritual beings, we can only be satisfied when our spiritual needs are fulfilled. By attending church today, it nourishes your soul, intricately linked to your spirit. When you are a king, you can indulge in all the promises bestowed by your position. Everything is placed under your command. Position and promises share a profound connection. If you understand your position, you can enjoy all the promises associated with that position. Although we are royalty, we often overlook this truth. The bible affirms that we have already been blessed with all spiritual blessings. Therefore, let us comprehend our position today. We are all God's children, righteous in His sight, occupying a vantage point of favor in our lives. Let us not underestimate these truths because Jesus died for you, shedding His blood to secure you this position. At times, we tend to overlook meditating on this truth. The one who gave His life for us is not an ordinary individual; He is the Son of God.

希伯来书 10:14 因为祂⼀次献祭，便叫那得以成圣的⼈永远完全。(现代标点和合本）
Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. (NKJV)

这节经⽂的意思为，当主耶稣为我们⾛上⼗字架，祂只⼀次把⾃⼰献为祭，便叫那得以成圣的⼈永远完全。 因此，当你领受圣餐，纪念主耶稣所做的，你当意识到在神的眼中，你是永远完全的。我们是全然公义，是因着主耶稣在⼗字架上的⼀次献祭；也不是因着我们有多好，⽽是因为主耶稣对我们的好。“...那得以成圣的⼈”意味着在我们的⼈⽣旅 途中，被称为义和被分别为圣是⼀个过程。我们仍然有脾⽓和骄傲的时候，在问题当中仍然会害怕，但我们⾸先晓得，我 们是永远完全的。带着这个真理，并有耶稣基督的启⽰，将逐渐减少我们对愤怒、 傲慢和惧怕的倾向，因为主耶稣永远与我们同在。祂总不撇下我们，也不丢弃我们。因此，我们不需要在⾏为上样样完美，但我们清楚晓得在灵⾥，神看我们是永远完全的。

What this verse means is that when Jesus went to the cross and sacrificed Himself for us, He need only do it once and that one sacrifice has made all believers perfect forever. Hence, when you take the Holy Communion in remembrance of what Jesus did, you must realize that you are perfect forever in God’s eyes. We are all completely righteous because of Jesus’ sacrifice at the cross, not because of how good we are but because of how good Jesus is. “…those who are being sanctified” means that our being righteous and set apart as holy in our journey of life is a process. We still have our temper problems, and pride issues, and we still fear in the midst of our problems but we know that we are perfect forever in our spirit. As we depend on this truth, the revelation of Christ will gradually diminish our tendency towards anger, arrogance, and fear, as we find comfort in the knowledge that the Lord is always by our side. He will never leave us nor forsake us. Hence, we do not need to be perfect in our flesh but we know that in our spirit we are already perfect in God’s eyes.

罗⻢书 8:15 你们所受的，不是奴仆的⼼，仍旧害 怕；所受的，乃是⼉⼦的⼼，因此我们呼叫：“阿爸！⽗！” (现代标点和合本)
Romans 8:15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” (NKJV)

在从神那⾥领受了异象后，你们可能发现仍然有很多消极的思维，有时候甚 ⾄觉得⼀切都很好但就是喜乐不起来。倘 若你有这样的经历，你要晓得， 那不是你。你不是你所感觉到的。神给了 我们感觉，因为祂喜欢与我们有关系。祂不要我们是⼀个机器⼈。这就是为什么我们有感觉。感觉可以来了⼜⾛，但你不是你的感觉。然⽽，感觉可以起到警报或提醒的作⽤。当你开始感到惧怕或沮丧时， 当问⾃⼰，“我在相信什么呢？”你⼀直在想些什么？你所想的会影响你的感觉。负⾯的想法肯定会使你感觉糟糕。这是⼀个提醒，让你停下来查验⾃⼰的思维。恶者的诡计如同⼀辙。它要我们再次陷⼊惧怕的辖制中，但是教会，我们已经藉着圣灵领受了⼉⼦的⼼，因此我们呼叫：“阿 爸！⽗！”阿⻔！ 这就是我们的⾝份。当你晓得你的⾝份， 你就不会再次陷⼊惧怕的辖制中。倘若你是乞丐的⼉⼦，你会过得战战兢兢，不知道下⼀顿饭是否有着落。但倘若你是王的⼉⼦，你就可以活的坦然⽆惧，因为你知道你可以拥有你想要的⼀切。教会，我们都是王的⼉⼦。我们不是总统的⼉⼦，⽽是 万王之王的⼉⼦。祂所拥有的⼀切也属于我们。因此，我们在需要时求告我们的阿爸⽗，因为当我们向祂呼求，祂必应允我们。阿们！

Having received the vision from the Lord, some of you may have found yourselves having more negative thoughts and sometimes lacking joy even in the presence of good things. If you have experienced that, you need to know that it is not you. You are not what you feel. God gives us feelings because He wants us to have relationships. He does not want robots. That is why we have feelings. Feelings can come and go, but feelings do not define you. However, feelings can act as an alarm or a red flag alert. When you start feeling scared, fearful, or depressed, this should prompt you to ask yourself, “What am I believing?” What have you been thinking about? What you are thinking of will affect how you feel. Thinking negative thoughts will make you feel bad. This is an alert for you to pause and check your thoughts. The strategy of the devil is always the same. He wants us to go back into bondage again to fear, but church, we have already received the Spirit of sonship by whom we cry, “Abba, Father.” Amen! This is our identity. When you know your identity, you will not go back into bondage again to fear. If you are the son of a beggar, you will live in fear, not knowing when and where your next meal is coming from. But if you are the son of a king, there is no fear because you know that you can have whatever you want. Church, we are sons of the King. We are not sons of a president, but we are sons of the King of kings. All He has belongs to us also. Therefore, we should reach out to our Abba Father in times of need, because when we cry out to Him, He will surely answer. Amen!

歌罗西书 3:15 ⼜要叫基督的平安在你们⼼⾥作主，你们也为此蒙召，归 为⼀体，且要存感谢的⼼。(现代标点和合本)
歌罗西书 3:16 你们要让基督的道丰丰富富地住在你们⼼⾥，以各样的智慧，彼此教导，互相劝 戒，⽤诗章、圣诗、灵歌，怀着感恩的⼼歌颂神。(新译本)
Colossians 3:15-16 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. (NKJV)

很多时候，我们让惧怕在我们⼼⾥作主。甚⾄是怀疑、后悔、嫉妒和⽐较在我们⼼⾥作主。但圣经告诉我们要让基督的平安在我们⼼⾥作主。如何作主呢？ 第十六节告诉我们要让基督的道丰丰富富地住在我们⼼⾥。教会，是时候我们打开实体圣经了。 使⽤实体圣经是好的，因为使⽤⼿机的圣经程序会备受⼲扰，例如⼴告和诱⼈的优惠，这些会在你阅读圣经的时候不时弹跳出来。你是否意识到，有时当你很兴奋地研读神的话语时，会突然受到电话和需要⽴即处理的的事情的打扰？ 你能猜到 原因吗？这是恶者在作祟，它不要让神的⼉⼥接触到神的话。它知道，每当你接触 神的话语时，神的祝福就会在你的⽣命中⼤⼤流淌。因此，暂且把你的⼿机放⼀边，打开你的实体圣经，让基督的话语以诸般的智慧丰 丰富富地存在于你们⼼⾥，⽤诗章 (来⾃诗篇) 和圣诗 (藉着圣灵启⽰所创作的歌曲）彼此教导和互相劝诫，和灵歌（圣灵的语⾔，说⽅⾔），怀着感恩的⼼歌颂神。 当你沮丧或⾯临困境时，来开始⽅⾔祷告，让圣灵为你祷告。阿们！以感恩的⼼来歌唱——你得救是本乎恩，不是藉着⾏为，⽽是靠主耶稣基督的恩典。

Very often, fear is the one who is ruling in our hearts. Doubts and sometimes regrets will also rule, and jealousy and envy. But the bible tells us to let the peace of God rule in our hearts. How? Verse 16 tells us to let the word of Christ dwell in us. Church, it is time we open our bible. It is good to use the physical bible because there are many distractions in the online bible in your phone, such as advertisements and irresistible offers which will pop out while you are in the midst of reading the bible. Do you realize that sometimes, when you are excited to study the word of God, you are suddenly bombarded with phone calls and things which need your immediate attention? Can you guess why? It is the devil at work. He does not want the child of God to touch the word of God. He knows that every time you touch the word of God, the manifestation of God’s blessing is going to flow greatly in your life. Therefore, put away your phone, open your physical bible and let the word of Christ dwell richly in you, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms (from the book of Psalms) and hymns (songs created through inspiration from God) and spiritual songs (the language of the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues), singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. When you feel down and out, or face a difficult situation, start speaking in tongues and let the Holy Spirit pray for you. Amen. Singing with grace in your heart – it is by grace that you are saved, not by works but by grace through the Lord Jesus Christ.
