最近這幾個月一直嚷著要休息、要放假,
結果這兩天父神真是讓我放假。

無論是肉身、情緒或信仰上,祂都沒有將平日那種催迫感放在我裡面,
好像容許我悠悠閒閒、毫無壓力地過日子。

但只是一兩天,我就後悔了...

我已經過了那些吃吃喝喝、逛街購物就會快樂的年紀,
事實上,當我閒蕩的時候,從我裡面就像發出一聲聲嘆息,
因為在我靈魂深處,我知道自己正在浪費地上寶貴的時間,做一些對永恆毫無價值的事情。

雖然,在忙碌的日子裡,心理上或有壓力,肉身上偶有疲倦,
但不斷在學習、成長和有所貢獻,才讓我真正品嚐到生命的意義!



我獻上感謝,因你恩典滿溢,
謙卑你面前,萬事皆屬於你,
我獻上感謝,因爭戰在於你,

Although God will bless His people, there are some things that He will not agree with--for example, our religious mindsets. The Holy Spirit cannot stay and dwell in these wrong concepts as they are contrary to the truth, because He is the Spirit of Truth. God has shown me three very important mindsets that we need to change.

The first mindset is one that most Christians can be guilty of. Either consciously or unconsciously, we are trying to change our old nature (old man) and improve ourselves. We fail to realize that Jesus never came to do that. Jesus crucified the old man so that by faith, we can walk in the new man who is already created in righteousness and holiness.

Because of this, the enemy tries to make people feel they are not qualified to live in the supernatural realm--but remember, satan is a liar and a thief. Jesus qualified us 100 percent. It's never 90 percent God, 10 percent us--it's 100 percent Him. The supernatural realm of angels, Heavenly visitations and the chariots of God were meant to be a normal part of our lives. They are manifestations of the Glory of God.

As you behold the glory of the Lord "...we are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord" (2 Corinthians 3:18).

He is going to "...present you faultless before the presence of His glory...." (Jude 1:24).

We are His trophy and His workmanship. He is the One who does the work, while we do the yielding. We need to live in what He has done, and not in what we are trying to do. Don't pray for God to send His glory--He already has. We aren't changed from glory to glory by trying--we're changed by His Spirit.

The second thing that we are prone to is "false responsibility." We are responsible for what He gives us, and that is it! A heavy spirit makes people feel responsible for things and people they can do nothing about. We cannot change anyone, and we certainly can't make anyone do something.

Many revivals have been quenched by this religious spirit. A young revivalist was used mightily in the great Welsh revival. He was a vessel and the glory of God flowed through him. Then, after a year, he began to make himself responsible for how the people responded to the Spirit. If they did not respond the way he thought they should, he would leave the meeting or shut it down. This brought a spirit of heaviness into the land and onto the people because it was not his responsibility.

Our responsibility is to do what He tells us to do, say what He asks us to say, and go where He wants us to go. That is all God requires from us--and we get to keep our joy!

The third religious thing we fall into is carrying "false burdens." As intercessors, we need only to yield to the Spirit. When that anointing falls on us and we do some warfare, we have to remember that it isn't us, it's the anointing from Heaven. We may do some declaring, or we may laugh, weep or fall down on the floor and cry out, but no matter what, the burden will eventually lift because Jesus is the Ultimate Intercessor seated at the right hand of the Father.

  • 關係

信主以後,我都很多時會帶著這種烈士心態,最緊要做!做!做!做!做!
而無法享受到信仰的樂趣和天父那種無條件的愛

-----------------------

信神所差來的,就是作神的工!

神所最喜悅的,不是我在缺乏安全感下拼命工作,
祂所喜悅的,是我全然安息、倚靠在主耶穌為我成就的這個恩典裡!

神已經全然接納和愛我,我人生裡不需要再做任何事情賺取祂的愛!
祂已經全然悅納,我是祂眼中的瞳仁,
祂的 favor 在我身上,這完全是因著主耶穌基督!

並且,單單是我渴望討神喜悅的心,本身已使祂如此喜悅!

神遍察全地,要顯大能拯救向祂心存誠實的人!

神喜歡心存誠實的人!
是的,我可以大聲地宣告:神很喜歡赤誠!
