从玛拉到以琳

Tuesday, March 15, 2016

当事情沒有如同自己预期的发展,没有按着计划走时,就觉得一切都破滅,前途茫茫了,开始沮喪、忧郁,因为你的情绪告訴你:已经走不下去,我很累了。
但你的信靠,要強过你的情緒;在你的肉眼还没有看到成果时,仍要坚定相信上帝的应许是信实的。(希伯来书10:23)

從玛拉到以琳的唯一途径 ─ 继续走下去。

在出埃及记第15章一开始,正是摩西带领以色列人过红海,百姓士气和信心极高的时候,他们堅信,当上帝使他们脱离奴役的景況,必会带领他们进入更好的生活。
怀着如此大的期待,他们第一个落腳之处,却是名叫「玛拉(Marah)」地方。因为水很苦,所以那地方名叫「瑪拉」,是「苦」的意思;当地唯一的水源,竟苦涩到无法饮用。

“上帝不是要领我们到更好的地方吗?这里却连水都不能喝,你在耍我们吗?”以色列民开始抱怨。

当你碰到问题,觉得自己再也走不下去时,你的情緒,你的肉体,会跟你说:“回到旧有的生活,过去的环境,因为那里是你熟悉的地方”。但,这是上帝要给你的生命吗?
但上帝充满慈爱,祂不会领你到一个地方是你无法存活,任由你自己在那里苦苦挣扎求存。纵然百姓埋怨了,耶和华还是指示摩西砍下一棵树丢在水里,水就变甜了。

接着以色列民就到了下一个停靠站「以琳」,在那里有12股水泉和70棵棕樹,这地是与玛拉河等不同之地。
如果当时以色列民没有继续往前走,却是走回头路回到埃及,就没有机会享受那甘甜泉水和清凉的棕树了。

现在的你,也可能正面临生命中的「玛拉」。你觉得自己撐不下去,想要打道回府了,但上帝告訴你,「以琳」就在下一站,不要放弃,继续走下去,你必抵达那甘泉之地。
如今,就算你还处在玛拉,不要抱怨,你只需「看見」和「顺服」那位掌管生命的主。雖然不知道明天將如何,但当我们知道,是誰托住明天,我们的心就安稳了。阿们!

Trust

Monday, March 14, 2016

Psalms 31:14- ““But I am trusting you, O LORD, saying, “You are my God!””
‭‭
Trust births out when relationship develops, not religion! When there is a demand, when it is under the law, you will realize that trust has become something difficult, as when you know you can fulfill the demand, condemnation and separation starts to take place. Trust can no longer work! Therefore, when a relationship develops, when you know someone loves you deeply, that he does not even care of your past mistakes, he redeems you when you are at your worst and given you all that he has, trust will naturally develop! Likewise, Jesus has turned your mourning into joy, He has wiped away your tears, He has removed the darkness and has clothed you in righteousness. He has done so many things to you, simply just want to tell you "Trust me!" Trust Him to understand and know the desire of your heart, trust Him to have the best interest on you, trust Him who plans you future! Just because He loves you, you can rest assure that your days are good, & your future is bright! So take time to enjoy this relationship and trust in The Lord and lean not again on your understanding!

思想耶稣

Monday, March 14, 2016

希伯来书12:3- 那忍受罪人这样顶撞的,你们要思想,免得疲倦灰心。

人生不如意之事十之八九,这是人常说的口头禅,说得多了,渐渐地发现到周围充满的就都是问题。环境无时无刻的改变,而你的心情也像那在海面上的帆船,随波逐流的。。。听起来,还真的就是那么真实的发生在你我的生命里。

我们常让环境影响了我们。所以你会发现到,疲倦、气馁、灰心、失望、潦倒、放弃、似乎就根深蒂固的在你生命里了。但,要记得,你的生命不应该是如此的,因为创造你的天父从来对你的计划都是赐平安的意念,而不是降灾祸于你,定罪于你的。(耶利米书29:11)

当不好的环境来到,往往一个人的自然反应就是倾向于消极,但,你现在要思想改变了,把眼目转向耶稣,思想祂的美好,以属灵的眼睛看见祂在十架为你成就的,今天,无论你在那一个角落,耶稣都知道你的藏身之处。

仔细想想,每当问题来到,每当情绪失控,你的消极,惧怕,忧郁,都无法帮助你,却是让你越来越沉溺下去。所以,以其思想这一些使你得不着益处的;倒不如思想耶稣吧!思想祂为你牺牲在十架上的爱,思想祂为你承受的一切羞辱,思想祂为你流的宝血,思想祂的死里复活,思想祂对你无条件的爱,思想祂的救赎,你就会发现到你不会轻易疲倦灰心了,却是大有盼望与喜乐!

所以,丢开那不好的,无论环境如何,思想耶稣;祂是你的盼望,你的平安与喜乐,你供应的源头,你健康的支柱,和你生命的拯救!啊们!

Faith Comes From Hearing

Sunday, March 13, 2016

Romans 10:17- “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.”
‭‭
Many of times Christian struggles with having faith, they will try all sorts of way in order to gain faith. Such as telling yourself consistently that "I need to have faith" "I need to have faith", but all the more you're pushing it to happen by effort, all the more you will realize that it just cannot. There are times that when it does not, you'll start to feel condemn. But do you know that there's a remedy for that in Romans 10:17? Faith comes by hearing. And this hearing is not just a one time hearing, but a consistent and continuous progress of hearing! Plus hearing not of the negatives, or any other report from the surrounding, but it comes only by hearing to the Word of Christ! So my friend, Faith doesn't come by your own force, but it comes by hearing and and keep on hearing the Word of Christ! Therefore, instead of listening to the negatives, listen to the Word of Christ continuously, & faith in Him will arise! Believing in Him who loves you deeply is not effortful, but effortless!

He Cares!

Saturday, March 12, 2016

1 Peter 5:7- “casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.”
‭‭
Regardless what is troubling your heart right now, know that you have a Father in Heaven who cares for you more than anyone else! If you would realize that many of times when you try to sort things out on your own, you will end up worrying, frustrating and even more anxious. When God says that we can cast all our anxieties on Him, He said what He means! Therefore it is possible to cast! Many of times we may think that it's impossible to cast, that casting is the last thing that we would think of, but what's the secret for being able to cast? That is only when you know how much He cares for you. The moment when you know He cares, casting is never an issue anymore! Therefore, start to Eye on Him today and remember, when He takes care of you, all shall be well!

休息在他爱中

Saturday, March 12, 2016

诗 46:10
你们要休息,要知道我是神,我必在外邦中被尊崇,在遍地上也被尊崇。
出 14:14
耶和华必为你们争战,你们只管静默,不要作声。
约 19:30
...就说:成了...

哈利路亚!亲爱的朋友,你知道你是神所亲爱的吗?
不管你现在处于什么状况,休息一会儿吧,亲爱的朋友,休息在神的爱中,知道当你休息的时候,神在动工。
不要再忧郁,不要再挣扎,只管放手让神接手,停止靠自己有限的资源和能力去争战了,倒不如依靠相信那已救赎你脱离一切并给予你他一切所有的主!
今天,那超自然的兑换发生了!耶稣代替了你并且在2016年前甘心地为你死在十字架上,只因为他深深地爱着你,因此,你现在得以坦然无惧地领受他的一切,包括健康和财富。
在危难的时候,看向那提醒你神是多么爱你并且为你做成一切的十字架,他甚至战胜了死亡并且复活了,还有什么他不能做?在信他的人凡事都能,当我们信靠他,我们必不致羞愧。
在病痛当中,看向十字架,相信、宣告并且领受你所需要的医治,在主里健康起来。
在缺乏的时候,看向那使你富足的十字架。

在任何地方,任何时候,看向十字架并享受休息在神不变的爱中。他是昨日、今日、一直到永远都是一样的。所以,常在他的爱中,休息在他里面,他已为你成就了一切,而你所需要做的就是给他允许,相信他一切的完工。
当你休息在神的爱中,他就在工作。当他在做事,所成就的肯定是超乎你所能想象的。
有了耶稣我们真是何等蒙福。我们是深受恩宠,深深被爱,大大蒙福的!

恩典十架

Saturday, March 12, 2016

路加福音 9:23 - 耶稣又对众人说 :“ 若有人要跟从我,就当舍己,天天背起他的十字架来跟从我。”

很多时候当人读到这一句经节时,都会误会以为身为基督徒,我们应当背起耶稣那沉重的十字架,要与祂一同受苦,祂身上的鞭我们要受,祂担的重担我们要担,祂受的羞辱,我们也要受。。。
但事实并非如此,耶稣要我们背起的十字架,是祂已经为我们成就了的,是充满恩典,充满怜悯,充满一切属灵福气的十字架(以弗所书1:3),是耶稣用祂最后一口气所成了的十字架(约翰福音19:30)。
今天,耶稣所成就的十字架,不是带着定罪,不是带着惩罚与苦难,却是带着恩典,有宽恕医治,有各样应许的十字架,是赐给我们丰盛生命的十字架!祂要告诉你,你所背起的十字架是那充满能力又大有恩膏的。耶稣已经代替了我们的罪,却把祂一切所成就的都给了我们。哈利路亚!
今天,耶稣告诉你,你所要做的,就是单单来领受那那十架的完工!啊们!

Rest In His Love

Friday, March 11, 2016

Psalm 46:10
He says," Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
Exodus 14:14
The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.
John 19:30
...Jesus said," It is finished."...

Hallelujah! Dear friend, do you know that you are the beloved of God?
Regardless what kind of situation you are in right now, take a break, dear friend, just rest in the unfailing love of God knowing that when you are resting, He is at work.
Stop striving, stop struggling, just let go and let God, stop fighting by your own limited sources and efforts, but instead, rely and trust in the Lord who has redeemed you from all harms and given you all that He has!
Today, the divine exchange has happened! Jesus has took your place and died on the cross for you 2016 years ago willingly out of His love for you, and therefore you can now be bold and courageous in receiving all that He has including health and wealth.
In times of trouble, look to the cross that reminds you of how much God loves you and what He has done for you, He even conquered death and resurrected, what else He cannot do? Nothing is impossible for those who believe in Him and when we trust in Him, we will never be put to shame.
In times of sickness, look to the cross, believe, proclaim and receive the healings that you need and be well in the Lord.
In times of lacking, look to the cross that prospers you.

At anywhere, at anytime, look to the cross and rest in God's unfailing love. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. So abide in His love and be still in Him, He has done all for you, and all you need to do right now is giving Him consent by believing in His finished work.
When you rest in God's love, He is at work. When He is at work, things surely accomplished more than what you can imagine of.
We are truly blessed to have Jesus in life. We are highly favored, deeply loved and greatly blessed!

受造乃独一无二

Friday, March 11, 2016

哥林多前书12:18上帝隨自己的意思把肢体俱各安排在身上了。

时刻提醒自己,在上帝计划的大拼图里,我们每个人都是里面的一片,都是独特的,都很重要。缺了其中一片,整幅图画就破坏了。今天在神的国度里也一样,我们每一个人都很重要,都独一无二。
在哥林多前书第12章;使徒保罗把教会──上帝的肢体,和人的身体相比较。就如同人的身体有四肢和五官一样,它们都是身体 的一部份。在教会里沒有一位基督徒可以宣稱自己是独立的肢体,或者告訴哪个肢体它是多余的(哥林多前书12:12-17),因为「上帝隨自己的意思把 肢体俱各安排在身上了」(哥林多前书12:18)。
当看到別人和自己有不同的恩赐,並更引人注目时,我们很容易觉得自己微不足道。然而,上帝要我们以祂的眼光來審视自己,在祂眼中,我们的受造独一无二,倍受重视。祂已经给了我们生命的价值(创世记30:17)。
你是大拼图中的一小片,少了你,拼图就无法完成。上帝給你恩賜,让你成为上帝肢体中重要的一部份,好让祂得着榮耀。如同在彼得前书4:10说的,各人要照所得的恩赐彼此服侍,作神百般恩赐的好管家。哈利路亚!

Trust in His Love

Thursday, March 10, 2016

1 John 4:16- “We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love.."
‭‭
Many would have misunderstand God by thinking that God loves them only when they are doing good, behaving well and possibly when they have no weaknesses! But if you would look at the cross, and what Jesus has done for you and I, you will realize that Jesus died for sinners, all of us we were under condemnation, under failures and curses, under all sorts of weaknesses, He came to us when we were in weaknesses! Therefore, Jesus doesn't just love you by speaking, when you're on top He loves you, when you're in the pit He loves you, He loves you with great passion, with actions and even with all His life! So never ever thought that the love of God for you is not constant, His love is the most reliable in the whole wide world! Hence, Put your trust in His love today and you'll find assurance, hope and refuge!

不再受刑罚

Thursday, March 10, 2016

帖撒罗尼迦前书5:9 因为神不是预定我们受刑,乃是预定我们藉着我们主耶稣基督得救。

每個人在世上,都渴望满满的被爱,被人肯定,被人爱护,我们也会付出爱,爱我们的伴侣,孩子,家人及朋友。这属肉体的爱。
但很多人对于上帝的爱有很大的误解,他们认为上帝总是定罪,按着个人的表现赏赐他们。当事情不顺利的时候他们会认为:“好吧上帝,我知道祢就是会这样待我的!” 他们认为,就是因为他们生命里有许多的罪与过犯,所以上帝要用这样的方式來惩罚他们!又或是,我的生命不够圣洁,不够虔诚,没有履行基督徒该有的责任,所以,上帝就生气我,没有那么爱我了。
跟你担保,上帝不但不生你的气,反而是爱你到底(约翰福音13:1)!祂是那么的渴望把一切最好的都给你。
不管你犯了多少次错,或是你的生命里曾经有多少污点,上帝还是那么爱你,守护你,赐福于你。事实上,祂已经赦免你,你不用受刑罚,耶稣替你受了;祂死了,而又复活了。所以你需要做的就是接受耶稣,把一切交托,祂正张开双臂欢迎你,来拥抱你。
罗马书4:25耶稣被交给人,是为我们的过犯;复活,是为叫我们称义。

Trust on Jesus

Wednesday, March 9, 2016

Proverbs 3:5-6- Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go, he's the one who will keep you on track.

There are times that we try our very effort and mind to figure out things on our own, we tried so hard to ensure the marriage works well, we used several methods to make sure the children are obedient. But out of all that we have planned and put effort on, you will realize that depending on self is temporal and ultimately it exhaust you. We may be lost if we are to depend on ourselves, but do know that as you listen to Jesus and trust Him from the bottom of your heart, He keeps you on the right track; the track of blessing, the track of protection and the track of perfect health! But trusting on someone requires time to know, you need to spend time in knowing who Jesus is, what He has done and how much He loves and cares! The moment when you get to know Him, you will trust Him! You will trust that in His leading, you're walking on the right track, for because of loving you, He surely wants the best for you! Therefore, Trust not on other things but Him alone! And you will see he shall not put you to shame!

你已经蒙福

Wednesday, March 9, 2016

以赛亚书33:6你一生一世必得安稳,有丰盛的救恩,并智慧和知识,你以敬畏耶和华为至宝。

当你相信你会有個艰难的一年,就会经历难熬的一年。所以鼓励你相信自己是蒙福的,不是你即将將会蒙福,而是你已经蒙福。天上一切属灵的福气已经赐给你了,神本性一切的丰盛都有形有体地居住在基督里面,你们在祂里面也得了丰盛!(以弗所书1:3,歌罗西书2:9-10)

你要坚信上帝的恩惠更大地围绕在你周 圍。你必须在看見之前就先相信,你行事说话要好像自己已经蒙福,思考得好像自己已经蒙福,装扮得好像自己已经蒙福,每一天活着就像自己已经蒙福。
哥林多前书2:9 神为爱祂的人所预备的是眼睛未曾看见,耳朵未曾听见,人心也未曾想到的。

你需要给自己注入新的看见,就是相信此刻你已经蒙福了!對於所有你埋葬的梦想,那些你认为永不会实现的渴望,現在就是你相信,并领受的时候了。你必须抱有这种態度 :现在就是我更上一层楼的時候,现在就是我梦想实现的时候了。我看过这事成就在別人身上,但現在是我的时间了,我不要只风闻有你,我要亲眼看见并经历祢的美好!(约伯记42:5)啊们!

Grace and Peace be Yours

Tuesday, March 8, 2016

2 Peter 1:2- Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

Do you know that as you start to know who Jesus is in your life and how much that He loves you, it empowers you to move on in life with full of boldness! There are assurance, peace and security when you have the knowledge of God and of Jesus our lord! Therefore, take time in the word and to meditate on what Christ has done for you at the cross, it gives you hope for your future and assurance in your life!
So, knowing who you are in Christ and who Jesus is enables you to understand your identity and authority in Christ! Be assured that as you truly know Him, the abundance of grace, unmerited favor and His great shalom peace will be following you all the days of your life! That's what you're going to enjoy when you know Jesus!

成就你的心愿

Tuesday, March 8, 2016

诗篇145:19敬畏祂的,祂必成就他们的心愿,也必听他们的呼求,拯救他们。

如果你灰心失望,要知道,若不是上帝已经在你的未來释放出美善,你也不会在这里;当你还活在世上,就有为你量身而定的恩惠。你一路上总有提升的机会,有如磁铁般吸引美好的事物来靠近,大好的际遇与天赐良机。
當你真正了解天父对你美好的心意,你就会春风滿面,你每天都会很兴奋地出門,想着:「我下一個恩惠何時來到,就在我预想不到的时刻!主啊,就在祢预定的时间,预定的地点,感谢祢为我所预备的惊喜!
當你保持信心,你就走入上帝所预定给你的福份中。
当你遭遇危机,不要放弃,也不要沮丧和埋怨,而要相信上依然在掌权,祂连独生爱子都给了你,还有什么是祂不能给你的呢(罗马书8:32)?当你敬畏祂,祂必为你成就你心所渴望的,当你在祂里面,你什么好处都不缺(诗篇34:10)。祂要透过你彰显祂伟大的作为,你也要成为上帝恩典的惊人見证。啊们!

On His Shoulders

Monday, March 7, 2016

Deuteronomy 33:12- “Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in him, for he shields him all day long, and the one the Lord loves rests between his shoulders.”
‭‭
Did you ever see a father carry his child on his shoulder? It might be crowded everywhere and people might rushing and squeezing for a good view, but the moment when you are on your father's shoulders, you just get to see the best view ever! Likewise, God loves you like a child, He sees you as a family, and He longs to have a relationship with you. Therefore, just as He promised Benjamin, He is now still promising you to rest upon His shoulders and let Him carries you through! Not only that you're resting in Benjamin's type of rest, whereby you just have to be at rest, and whatever that you have received will be five times more than the rest! We are now living in the Benjamin generation, with Jesus' perfect effort, now we received five folds and even hundred folds of goodness that we did not earn! Therefore my friend, remember that You are the beloved of The Lord, for Jesus loves you with an unconditional love! Therefore rest secure in His love knowing that He has shielded your path; rest between His shoulders today and know that when you're resting in Him, He is working for you!

禁止嘴唇

Monday, March 7, 2016

诗篇141:3耶和华啊,求祢禁止我的口,把守我的嘴。

有发觉到吗?我们很习惯让「但是」這两个变成我们的口头禅,不经意之间就脱口而出。这样的字眼很容易让我們預設失敗的藉口,也很容易让我们找到放弃的理由。当你碰到困难与挑战時,你会忍不住在內心深处对自己說:“我知道在神凡事都能,但是。。。;我知道我已经得胜了,但是。。。;我知道我是得医治、富足、丰盛的,但是。。。这一切真的会发生吗?”
久而久之,我们就开始习惯不敢面对挑战,习惯故步自封,习惯承认失 敗,甚至还沒开始尝试,就放弃了。这样的人生,怎能不失败呢?
所以要警醒,从我们口中说出来的是什么话,我们就领受什么,圣经劝谕我们不要说那诡诈的话,彼得前书3:10说 [人若爱生命,愿享美福,须要禁止舌头不出恶言,嘴唇不说诡诈的话];勒住我们的舌头,约束我们的言语,谨慎自守,不要说消极沮丧的话,要说积极造句的话;不要期待失败,要期盼得胜。在事情还没有发生时,属灵的眼睛就要先看见了!

千万不要小看言语的力量,它就如同星星之火,可以燎原;咒詛与祝福,往往只在只字片语间,在那一线之差的距离。

箴言18:20-21 人口中所結的果子 ,必充滿肚腹;他嘴所出的,必使他飽足。生死在舌头的权下,喜爱它的,必吃它所结的果子。

Keep Yourself In His Love

Sunday, March 6, 2016

Jude 1:21- “keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.”

Do you know that good things happen to those who knows that they are God's beloved? Why? Because the moment when you know and believe that you are God's beloved, you will move on in life reigning above all things! You will have confidence in The Lord that is unshakable by all circumstances and you will further on soaring like an eagle in all endeavors of life. Being in loved with The Lord keeps your heart in overflowing joy and peace, and like a prince and princess who knows who their father is and how much that they are loved, you walk life tilting your head! So keep yourself in the love of God today, and know that The Lord loves you deeply regardless who and how you are, His love for you is constant and His love for you is sure! You're God's beloved my friend, and this promise is more than enough to assure you your future!

与信心调和

Saturday, March 5, 2016

希 4:2 因为有福音传给我们,像传给他们一样,只是所听见的道与他们无益,因为他们没有信心与所听见的道调和。

亲爱的朋友,你最近在听见什么呢?
你是否听见福音-好消息,就是神的话,或是听人的话还是世界充满着消极的话呢?
每早晨当我们一睁开眼从睡梦中苏醒的时候,我们专注于什么了呢?
我们是否在担心听见世界经济不景气?还是听见神照着他荣耀的丰富供应我们一切所需用的,并且与信心调和过着丰盛的生命呢?
在担心的时候,选择听神能如何为你解决并且与信心调和,不要再埋怨或放弃,乃要过着无忧无虑的生命,因为知道在神没有难成的事!
当你生病的时候,听耶稣为你受的鞭伤使你得医治,与信心调和,在基督里过上健康的生活。
当关系出状况的时候,与信心调和所听见的福音,神能以爱来调解并且使关系变得更好。

在每天的生活中,听福音并与信心调和,相信耶稣为你所做成的一切!
你心里不要忧愁也不要胆怯,因为耶稣已用自己的生命把你赎回来。
所以,停止怀疑基督十字架上的完工,而是从心去相信并且领受。
充满着意义和价值地活着并且活出在这福音和基督里充满着爱、盼望、平安和喜乐的生命!
我们真是如此蒙福可以听见福音并在日常生活里与信心调和!

He Fights Your Case

Saturday, March 5, 2016

Lamentations 3:58- "You, Lord, took up my case; you redeemed my life.”
‭‭
Do you know that you can fully depend on The Lord? He is the One who understands you to the fullest, and He is the One who will stand at your side and help! He loves you deeply so therefore you can be sure that you are His responsibility! Therefore, no matter where you are and Whatever case that is before you right now, remember to place it on God's hand, let go and let God! You can trust on Him to fight your case, you can trust on Him to settle your issues of life, you can trust on Him to bring the best before you! You can never lose hope when God is fighting your case! As The Lord takes up your case, you can be sure that there is deliverance, supply and solution! Therefore, redemption is near, it is already yours, healing is yours, abundance is yours, a bright career and position is yours, and all that is good are already yours!
