我们的信息赋有权柄

基列寄居的提斯比人以利亚对亚哈说：“我指着所事奉永生耶和华以色列的 神起誓，这几年我若不祷告，必不降露不下雨”（列王记上17:1）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，亚哈王遇到先知以利亚之后的第一个念头很可能是：这个人太狂妄了！这个家伙以为自己是谁？以利亚不知从哪突然冒了出来，带给以色列罪恶的王一个信息，就是整个区域内的所有生命将很快陷入混乱。

启示的有效性是取决于上帝，并不是随口而讲。以利亚是一个有强大信心的男人，他相信上帝对他所讲的话，而且他能够满有权柄地大胆而讲，因为他知道是上帝赐下的信息，他信靠上帝。以利亚经常花时间单独与上帝交流，跪在上帝面前，聆听祂的话语。

虽然我们的天父没有以对旧约的先知完全相同的方式来对我们讲话，但是获得祂的信息的过程却没有改变，都是开始于单独来到上帝面前，并聆听祂透过圣经里的话语对我们讲话。然而，这不应该就此结束。

先知们有将上帝对他们的启示告诉众人的责任，同样地，我们也有责任将我们从上帝的话语学到的分享给别人。专心与上帝交流，并不只是我们个人的喜好和需要，我们的天父向我们显明祂的宝物【圣洁而充满生命的话语】，以使我们能够将其分享给更多的人。

通过学习上帝的话语和专心祷告来开始每天单独与上帝交流，聆听祂对我们的心所讲的话，相信祂透过经文所说的，并且服从和应用在你的生命中，然后将上帝的启示分享给更多的人---你需要勇敢和无畏的精神，记住：你的信息的权柄是来自上帝。

研经：列王记上17:1-24

17:1 基列寄居的提斯比人以利亚对亚哈说：“我指着所事奉永生耶和华以色列的 神起誓，这几年我若不祷告，必不降露不下雨。”  

17:2 耶和华的话临到以利亚说：

17:3 “你离开这里，往东去，藏在约但河东边的基立溪旁。  

17:4 你要喝那溪里的水，我已吩咐乌鸦在那里供养你。”  

17:5 于是以利亚照着耶和华的话，去住在约但河东的基立溪旁。  

17:6 乌鸦早晚给他叼饼和肉来，他也喝那溪里的水。  

17:7 过了些日子，溪水就干了，因为雨没有下在地上。  

17:8 耶和华的话临到他说：

17:9 “你起身往西顿的撒勒法去，住在那里，我已吩咐那里的一个寡妇供养你。”  

17:10 以利亚就起身往撒勒法去，到了城门，见有一个寡妇在那里捡柴，以利亚呼叫她说：“求你用器皿取点水来给我喝。”  

17:11 她去取水的时候，以利亚又呼叫她说：“也求你拿点饼来给我。”  

17:12 她说：“我指着永生耶和华你的 神起誓，我没有饼，坛内只有一把面，瓶里只有一点油。我现在找两根柴，回家要为我和我儿子作饼，我们吃了，死就死吧。”  

17:13 以利亚对她说：“不要惧怕，可以照你所说的去作吧，只要先为我作一个小饼，拿来给我，然后为你和你的儿子作饼。  

17:14 因为耶和华以色列的 神如此说‘坛内的面必不减少，瓶里的油必不缺短，直到耶和华使雨降在地上的日子。’”  

17:15 妇人就照以利亚的话去行，她和她家中的人、并以利亚，吃了许多日子，

17:16 坛内的面果不减少，瓶里的油也不缺短，正如耶和华借以利亚所说的话。  

17:17 这事以后，作那家主母的妇人，她儿子病了，病得甚重，以致身无气息。  

17:18 妇人对以利亚说：“神人哪，我与你何干，你竟到我这里来，使 神想念我的罪，以致我的儿子死呢？”  

17:19 以利亚对她说：“把你儿子交给我。”以利亚就从妇人怀中将孩子接过来，抱到他所住的楼中，放在自己的床上，

17:20 就求告耶和华说：“耶和华我的 神阿，我寄居在这寡妇的家里，你就降祸与她，使她的儿子死了么？”  

17:21 以利亚三次伏在孩子的身上，求告耶和华说：“耶和华我的 神阿，求你使这孩子的灵魂仍入他的身体。”  

17:22 耶和华应允以利亚的话，孩子的灵魂仍入他的身体，他就活了。  

17:23 以利亚将孩子从楼上抱下来，进屋子，交给他母亲说：“看哪，你的儿子活了。”  

17:24 妇人对以利亚说、：“现在我知道你是神人，耶和华借你口所说的话是真的。”

在此，我们夫妻感谢上帝，我们主耶稣基督的父，赐给我们美好的一天，也赐给我们你们这些忠心于主的弟兄姊妹们。

The Authority of Our Message

1 Kings 17:1

Elijah Announces a Great Drought

17 Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the LORD, the GOD of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.”

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

King Ahab's first thought after encountering the prophet Elijah may well have been, Of all the nerve! Just who does this guy think he is? Bursting onto the scene out of nowhere, Elijah confronted Israel's wicked king with a message that would soon disrupt life throughout the entire region.

The validity of the revelation rested with the LORD, not the mouthpiece. Elijah was a man of great faith who believed what GOD told him; he could boldly speak with authority because he knew and trusted the GOD who gave the message. He always spent time alone with the LORD and listened as he kneel down before HIM.

Our FATHER doesn't speak to us in exactly the same manner that HE spoke to the Old Testament prophets, but the process of receiving HIS message hasn't changed. It begins with being alone in HIS presence and involves listening as HE speaks through HIS WORD. But it shouldn't end there.

Prophets had the responsibility of telling the people what the LORD revealed to them. Similarly, we are to share with others what we learn from GOD's WORD. Devotional time with the LORD is not just about our own interests and needs. Our FATHER in heaven reveals HIS treasures [holy and living WORD] to us so that we can share them with others.

Begin each day alone with GOD in HIS WORD and in prayer, listening as HE speaks to your heart. Believe what HE says in Scripture, obey and apply it to your life, and then share with someone else what HE has revealed. Be bold and remember that the authority of your message comes from HIM.

Scripture study:

1 Kings 17

Elijah Announces a Great Drought

17 Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe[a] in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the LORD, the GOD of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.”

Elijah Fed by Ravens

2 Then the WORD of the LORD came to Elijah: 3 “Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. 4 You will drink from the brook, and I have directed the ravens to supply you with food there.”

5 So he did what the LORD had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there. 6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.

Elijah and the Widow at Zarephath

7 Sometime later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. 8 Then the WORD of the LORD came to him: 9 “Go at once to Zarephath in the region of Sidon and stay there. I have directed a widow there to supply you with food.” 10 So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, “Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?” 11 As she was going to get it, he called, “And bring me, please, a piece of bread.”

12 “As surely as the LORD your GOD lives,” she replied, “I don’t have any bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it—and die.”

13 Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. 14 For this is what the LORD, the GOD of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD sends rain on the land.’”

15 She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. 16 For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the WORD of the LORD spoken by Elijah.

17 Sometime later the son of the woman who owned the house became ill. He grew worse and worse, and finally stopped breathing. 18 She said to Elijah, “What do you have against me, man of GOD? Did you come to remind me of my sin and kill my son?”

19 “Give me your son,” Elijah replied. He took him from her arms, carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his bed. 20 Then he cried out to the LORD, “LORD my GOD, have you brought tragedy even on this widow I am staying with, by causing her son to die?” 21 Then he stretched himself out on the boy three times and cried out to the LORD, “LORD my GOD, let this boy’s life return to him!”

22 The LORD heard Elijah’s cry, and the boy’s life returned to him, and he lived. 23 Elijah picked up the child and carried him down from the room into the house. He gave him to his mother and said, “Look, your son is alive!”

24 Then the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of GOD and that the WORD of the LORD from your mouth is the truth.”

We give thanks to GOD, the FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, for this day and for you, faithful brothers and sisters.

神圣的帮助者

我要求父，父就另外赐给你们一位保惠师，叫祂永远与你们同在，就是真理的圣灵，乃世人不能接受的。因为不见祂，也不认识祂，你们却认识祂，因祂常与你们同在，也要在你们里面。我不撇下你们为孤儿，我必到你们这里来（约翰福音14:16-18）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，你是否曾希望自己有天国的电话号码，无论什么时候有需要都能打进天国？好，现在我有一个好消息带给所有的真信徒：我们都有一位神圣的帮助者，比往天国打电话更棒，我们的帮助者（上帝的圣灵）就住在我们里面（哥林多前书6:19-20岂不知你们的身子就是圣灵的殿么？这圣灵是从 神而来，住在你们里头的，并且你们不是自己的人，因为你们是重价买来的，所以要在你们的身子上荣耀 神）。如果我们觉察到与圣灵同在，那么我们将会有很多受益的机会；如果我们没有觉察到与圣灵同在，那么我们就会失去很多受益的机会。

耶稣基督知道，当祂离开地球后，祂的门徒将不能完全胜任祂赐给他们的任务，就是向世界传福音（马太福音28:20凡我所吩咐你们的，都教训他们遵守；马太福音10:7-8 随走随传，说“天国近了”，医治病人，叫死人复活，叫长大痳疯的洁净，把鬼赶出去。你们白白的得来，也要白白的舍去）。尽管门徒们与耶稣在一起三年，但是他们所看到、所学到的仍旧不足以应付即将面临的一切，他们需要来自超凡大能的帮助；而对于我们也是如此，有一位帮助者会来帮助我们，使我们能够胜任侍奉的工作，并且能够由内至外地改变我们。

圣灵，是惟一能够实现这一切的帮助者。让我们默想祂的大能：

1. 祂是我们个人的帮助者，而不是幻想的力量。上帝的灵是三位一体中的一位，与圣父、圣子同等。

2. 祂是涉及我们生命中每个方面的实际帮助者。

3. 祂是我们最适合的帮助者，因为祂是无所不能、无所不知和无所不在。

4. 祂是永远住在我们里面的全能的帮助者。

你所需要的力量再大，又怎能大过圣灵的无所不能呢？你面对的决定所需要的知识再多，又怎能多过圣灵的无所不知呢？我们所遭受任何的事情，都不能大过住在我们里面的无所不在的圣灵。所以你要平静并确信，无论面对什么挑战，圣灵都能够帮助我们。

在此，我们夫妻感谢上帝，我们主耶稣基督的父，赐给我们美好的一天，也赐给我们你们这些忠心于主的弟兄姊妹们。

Another DIVINE HELPER

John 14:16 And I will ask the FATHER, and HE will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the SPIRIT of truth. The world cannot accept HIM, because it neither sees HIM nor knows HIM. But you know HIM, for HE lives with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Have you ever wished you had a phone number that rang in heaven whenever you had a need? Well, I have good news for all true believers. We all have divine assistance that’s even closer than a phone call: our HELPER (the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD) dwells within us [1 Corinthians 6:19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the HOLY SPIRIT who is in you, whom you have from GOD, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify GOD in your body and in your spirit, which are GOD’s]. But if we are unaware of HIM, we’ll miss many opportunities to benefit from the greatest asset in our Christian life—the HOLY SPIRIT’s presence.

JESUS CHRIST knew that when HE left the earth, HIS disciples would be totally inadequate for the task HE was giving them—to evangelize the world (Matt 28:20 “teaching them to obey all I have commanded you”; Matthew 10: 7 As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.). Though they’d spent three years with JESUS, all they had seen and learned would still not sufficiently equip them for what lay ahead. They needed supernatural help, and so do we, someone who will come to our aid, empower our service, and transform us from the inside out.

The HOLY SPIRIT is the only one who can achieve all this. Consider HIS qualifications:

1. HE is a personal HELPER, not some inanimate force. GOD’s SPIRIT is a member of the TRINITY and coequal with both the FATHER and JESUS CHRIST.

2. HE is a practical HELPER who involves HIMSELF in every aspect of our lives.

3. HE is an adequate HELPER because HE’s omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent.

4. HE is an available HELPER who permanently lives within us.

Do you have any need that requires more power than omnipotence? Are you facing a decision that requires more knowledge than omniscience? Nothing we encounter is bigger than the omnipresent ONE who lives within us. Be calm and confident. No matter what challenges you face, HE can help.

We give thanks to GOD, the FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, for this day and for you, faithful brothers and sisters.

总要警醒祷告

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，祷告，时时刻刻都要向耶和华、我们的   神祷告！因为，祷告是向上帝承认我们对祂的倚赖。

“这称为我名下的子民，若是自卑、祷告、寻求我的面，转离他们的恶行，我必从天上垂听，赦免他们的罪，医治他们的地”（历代志下7:14）

祂垂听穷人的祷告，并不藐视他们的祈求（诗篇102:17）

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（诗篇42:8）

耶稣说：“总要警醒祷告，免得入了迷惑。你们心灵固然愿意，肉体却软弱了（马可福音14:38）

在此，我们夫妻感谢上帝，我们主耶稣基督的父，赐给我们美好的一天，也赐给我们你们这些忠心于主的弟兄姊妹们。

Dear Brothers n Sisters,

Pray, pray to the LORD our GOD unceasingly, for prayer acknowledges our dependence on GOD.

"If MY people, who are called by MY name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." - 2 Chron 7:14

HE will respond to the prayer of the destitute, HE will not despise their plea. - Psalm 102:17

By day the LORD directs HIS love, at night HIS song is with me - a prayer to the GOD of my life. - Psalm 42:8

JESUS said " . . . Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." - Mark 14:38

We give thanks to GOD, the FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, for this day and for you, faithful brothers and sisters.

有了我的命令又遵守的

我们若按照祂的命令、律例、法则、教训而活、而行，这就是爱。你们将起初所听见的，继续以爱心行出，并遵从它的带领，就是这命令（约翰二书1:6）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，简单地讲，上帝说爱祂就是谨守遵行祂的命令【约翰福音14:21有了我的命令又遵守的，这人就是爱我的。爱我的必蒙我父爱他，我也要爱他，并且要向他显现；约翰福音15:10你们若遵守我的命令，就常在我的爱里，正如我遵守了我父的命令，常在祂的爱里】。这就使爱由模糊不清，变得清楚明确。但是，上帝所做的远远超越了祂给我们的爱的定义，并且祂给了你指示，使你能够懂得怎样像祂那样地爱。上帝赐给你祂的话语，是用白纸黑字赐给你祂的爱的指南。而你所需要做的，就是遵从它，并以爱心而行。

如果你让耶稣基督作为你的生命之主，并服从祂所吩咐你的一切，那么你已经迈出与上帝联合的第一步。上帝的爱已经生存在你里面，但是除非你选择迈出发展爱的一步，否则这爱在你里面是保持隐蔽的，并且是无效的。爱的运行与信心的力量运行大致相同（雅各2:26身体没有灵魂是死的，信心没有行为也是死的），像信心一样，爱是通过知识和服从上帝的话语才成为有效的（有行动的爱）。

就在今天，通过认罪并行出上帝的话语来使你里面的爱成为有效的爱（有行动的爱）。那么当你默想这些经文时，就会看到自己活在爱的生命里，就会看到自己是遵其而行并服从耶稣的命令的带领。让上帝所教导你的爱，在你里面发展起来。

研经：约翰一书2:3-11

2:3 我们若遵守祂的诫命，就晓得是认识祂。  

2:4 人若说我认识祂，却不遵守祂的诫命，便是说谎话的，真理也不在他心里了。  

2:5 凡遵守主道的，爱 神的心在他里面实在是完全的，从此我们知道我们是在主里面。  

2:6 人若说他住在主里面，就该自己照主所行的去行。  

2:7 亲爱的弟兄阿，我写给你们的不是一条新命令，乃是你们从起初所受的旧命令，这旧命令就是你们所听见的道。  

2:8 再者，我写给你们的是一条新命令，在主是真的，在你们也是真的。因为黑暗渐渐过去，真光已经照耀。  

2:9 人若说自己在光明中，却恨他的弟兄，他到如今还是在黑暗里。  

2:10 爱弟兄的就是住在光明中，在他并没有绊跌的缘由。  

2:11 惟独恨弟兄的是在黑暗里，且在黑暗里行，也不知道往那里去，因为黑暗叫他眼睛瞎了。  

在此，我们夫妻感谢上帝，我们主耶稣基督的父，赐给我们美好的一天，也赐给我们你们这些忠心于主的弟兄姊妹们。

Whoever has MY commands and obeys them . . .

"And what this love consists in is this, that we live and walk in accordance with and guided by HIS commandments HIS orders, ordinances, precepts, teaching. This is the commandment, as you have heard from the beginning, that you continue to walk in love guided by it and following it." (2 John 1:6)

Dear Brothers and Sisters

Quite simply, GOD says love is keeping HIS commandments [John 14:21 whoever has MY commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves ME. He who loves ME will be loved by MY FATHER, and I too will love him and show MYSELF to him. ; John 15:10 if you obey MY commands, you will remain in MY love, just as I have obeyed MY FATHER's commands and remain in HIS love]. That brings love out of the indefinite into something explicit. But GOD has done more than define love for you. HE's given you instructions so that you can know how to love as HE loves. By giving you HIS WORD, GOD has given you HIS love manual in black and white. All you have to do is follow it and you'll be walking in love.

If you've made JESUS CHRIST the LORD of your life, and obey all that HE have commanded you you've already taken the first step of union with GOD. The love of GOD has been born within you. But, unless you choose to take steps to develop it that love will remain hidden and useless within you. Love works in much the same way as the force of faith (James 2:26 as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.). Like faith, love becomes active through knowledge and obedience of the WORD of GOD.

Become love conscious by confessing and acting on GOD's WORD today. As you meditate these scriptures, see yourself living the love life. See yourself walking in accordance with and guided by the commandments of JESUS. Develop the love HE has taught you.

Scripture Study:

1 John 2:3-11 (NIV)

3 We know that we have come to know HIM if we keep HIS commands. 4 Whoever says, “I know HIM,” but does not do what HE commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. 5 But if anyone obeys HIS WORD, love for GOD is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in HIM: 6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as JESUS did.

7 Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard. 8 Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in HIM and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.

9 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. 10 Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. 11 But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.

We give thanks to GOD, the FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, for this day and for you, faithful brothers and sisters.

耶稣本就是主

主耶稣不是因我们信祂、认定祂为主，祂才是主，祂原本就是天地的主，直到永远！

要向耶和华歌唱，称颂祂的名，天天传扬祂的救恩。

在列邦中述说祂的荣耀，在万民中述说祂的奇事。

因耶和华为大，当受极大的赞美，祂在万神之上当受敬畏。

外邦的神都属虚无，惟独耶和华创造诸天。

有尊荣和威严在祂面前，有能力与华美在祂圣所（诗篇96:1-6）

有名写着说：万王之王，万主之主（启示录19:16）

千万不要让主对你说：“为什么称呼我‘主啊，主啊’，却不遵我的话行呢？”（路加福音6:46）

"Sing to the LORD a new song;

Sing to the LORD, all the earth.

Sing to the LORD, praise HIS name; proclaim HIS salvation day after day. Declare HIS glory among the nations, HIS marvelous deeds among all peoples. For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; HE is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the LORD made heavens. Splendor and majesty are before HIM; strength and glory are in HIS sanctuary." - Psalm 96:1-6.

"And HE hath . . . a name written, KING of KINGS, and LORD of LORDS." - Rev 19:16

坚持不懈地祷告

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，当我们靠着信心坚持不懈地祷告时，我们会得到五个结果：

1）平安；2）灵命的成长；3）走在敬畏 神的道路上；4）成倍的收获益处；5）圣灵的安慰和鼓励。

只要凭着信心求，一点不疑惑。因为那疑惑的人，就像海中的波浪，被风吹动翻腾。这样的人，不要想从主那里得什么（雅各1:6-7）

Dear Brothers n Sisters,

We will obtain the following five results when we pray consistently in faith.

1) Peace, 2) Spiritual Growth, 3) Walking in Fear of the LORD, 4) We will be multiplied, 5) Comfort and encouragement by the HOLY SPIRIT.

"But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the LORD." - JAMES 1:6-7.

得胜者

胜过世界的是谁呢？不是那信耶稣是 神儿子的吗？（约翰一书5:5）  

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，我经常听到有人说：“关于竞赛，你只要尽力了，输赢并不重要。”这是无稽之谈，如果你以正确的心态比赛，你就必会赢。

任何一个教练都会告诉你，竞赛的关键是要有一个必胜的心态，而这也是上帝要我们作为真信徒应该具有的心态。上帝要我们对祂有信心，我们必能扫清魔鬼放在我们生命中的一切障碍，我们必能打败生命里的一切邪恶，从而得到胜利。

而这样的心态不是轻易就能获得的，我们习惯于未做先败的思想，如果我们想要有一个必胜的心志，就必须彻底改变我们的思维方式。在以弗所书里，使徒保罗告诉教会要更新他们的心志，他们需要改变他们的心态，更新他们的心志，因为主耶稣已经胜了世界。

如果你还没有具备必胜的心态，那么你也需要具备！你需要发展一个荣耀而有信心的意识，对魔鬼说：“嘿，魔鬼，我必会胜利，任何事你都不能阻止我！”

你可能会说：“可是，维德弟兄，你不了解我面对的那些难题。”

是的，我明白我的确不知道，但是主耶稣知道，并且祂说你应该“振作起来”，因为在任何患难中祂都会赐给你平安。主耶稣说，当撒旦利用一切来攻击你时，你应该振作起来，因为祂已经击败了一切，祂已经战胜了撒旦，所以你也必能战胜撒旦。

约翰一书5:5这样说：“胜过世界的是谁呢？不是那信耶稣是 神儿子的吗？”

你是否懂得这节经文的含义？它的含义是：如果你是一个真信徒，你就作为一个绝对必胜者来战胜这个邪恶的世界。思考这些，默想这些，就在今天发展一个必胜的心志。

研经：罗马书8:29-39

8:29 因为祂预先所知道的人，就预先定下效法祂儿子的模样，使祂儿子在许多弟兄中作长子。  

8:30 预先所定下的人又召他们来，所召来的人又称他们为义，所称为义的人又叫他们得荣耀。  

8:31 既是这样，还有甚么说的呢？ 神若帮助我们，谁能敌挡我们呢？  

8:32 神既不爱惜自己的儿子为我们众人舍了，岂不也把万物和祂一同白白地赐给我们么？  

8:33 谁能控告 神所拣选的人呢？有 神称他们为义了。  

8:34 谁能定他们的罪呢？有基督耶稣已经死了，而且从死里复活，现今在 神的右边，也替我们祈求。

8:35 谁能使我们与基督的爱隔绝呢？难道是患难么？是困苦么？是逼迫么？是饥饿么？是赤身露体么？是危险么？是刀剑么？

8:36 如经上所记“我们为你的缘故终日被杀，人看我们如将宰的羊。”  

8:37 然而靠着爱我们的主，在这一切的事上已经得胜有余了。  

8:38 因为我深信无论是死、是生、是天使、是掌权的、是有能的、是现在的事、是将来的事、  

8:39 是高处的、是低处的、是别的受造之物，都不能叫我们与 神的爱隔绝，这爱是在我们的主基督耶稣里的。  

在此，我们夫妻感谢上帝，我们主耶稣基督的父，赐给我们美好的一天，也赐给我们你们这些忠心于主的弟兄姊妹们。

OVERCOMER

"Who is he that over cometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the SON of GOD?"(1 John 5:5)

Dear Brothers And Sisters,

I've often heard people say, "It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game." That's nonsense. If you play the game right, you'll win!

Any coach will tell you that, part of playing the game right is having a winning attitude. That's what GOD wants us, as true believers, to have. HE wants us to have so much faith in HIM that we expect to whip any obstacle the devil brings our way. HE wants us to expect to win at the game of life.

We don't always come by that attitude easily. We're so accustomed to losing that we have to totally change our way of thinking if we want to have a winning mind-set. In Ephesians, the Apostle Paul told the Church to renew their minds. They needed to change their attitudes, to renew their minds to the fact that JESUS has overcome the world.

If you haven't already, you need to do that too! You need to develop a glorious sense of confidence that says, "Hey, devil, I'm going to be victorious and there's not a thing you can do to stop me!"

You may say "But, Brother Victor, you don't know the kinds of problems I'm facing."

I know I don't, but JESUS knows and HE said you should "cheer up" because HE can give you peace in the midst of tribulation. HE said that when Satan comes against you with everything he has, you should take heart because JESUS already beaten it-- JESUS has already overcome Satan and so can you!

1 John 5: 5 puts it this way, "Who is he that over cometh the world, but he that believeth that JESUS is the SON of GOD?".

Do you know what that scripture means? It means that if you are a true believer, you have an absolute right to be a winner, to overcome every aspect of this evil world. Think about that. Meditate on it. Start developing a winning attitude today!

Scripture Study:

Romans 8:29-39

29 For those whom HE foreknew HE also predestined to be conformed to the image of HIS SON, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those whom HE predestined HE also called, and those whom HE called HE also justified, and those whom HE justified HE also glorified.

God's Everlasting Love

31 What then shall we say to these things? If GOD is for us, who can be against us? 32 HE who did not spare HIS own SON but gave HIM up for us all, how will HE not also with HIM graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against GOD's elect? It is GOD who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? CHRIST JESUS is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of GOD, who indeed is interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of CHRIST? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written,

“For your sake we are being killed all the day long;

    we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through HIM who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of GOD in CHRIST JESUS our LORD.

We give thanks to GOD, the FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, for this day and for you, faithful brothers and sisters.

何谓圣徒？

“圣徒”，就是能够在他身上将上帝的“光”彰显的人。

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，耶稣说（对真基督徒）：“你们是世上的光。城造在山上是不能隐藏的。人点灯，不放在斗底下，是放在灯台上，就照亮一家的人。你们的光【服从上帝旨意的行为，就是对上帝有信心的证据】也当这样照在人前，叫他们看见你们的好行为，便将荣耀归给你们在天上的父”（马太福音5:14-16）

在此，我们夫妻感谢上帝，我们主耶稣基督的父，赐给我们美好的一天，也赐给我们你们这些忠心于主的弟兄姊妹们。

'Saint' . . . someone the LIGHT of GOD shines through.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

JESUS said, (to all true Christians) "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light (works that are the evidence of your faith in GOD) shine before others, that they see your good deeds and glorify your FATHER in heaven." - Matt 5:14-16.

We give thanks to GOD, the FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, for this day and for you, faithful brothers and sisters.

去行就有福了

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，圣经告诉我们如何去天堂，也告诉我们怎样能够得到喜乐。

大卫说：“你必将生命的道路指示我，在你的面前有满足的喜乐，在你右手中有永远的福乐”（诗篇16:11）

“你们既知道这事【那清洁没有玷污的虔诚，就是看雇在患难中的孤儿寡妇，并且保守自己不沾染世俗（雅各1:27）】，若是去行就有福了”（约翰福音13:17）

“路是宽的，引到灭亡（永下地狱），而那条窄路，是引到永生（天国永生），找着的人也少”（马太福音7:13-14）

Dear Brothers n Sisters,

The Bible tells us how to go to heaven and how to be happy on the way.

David said, "YOU (the LORD) make known to me the path of life; YOU will fill me with joy in YOUR presence, with eternal pleasures at YOUR right hand." - Psalm 16:11.

"Now that you know these things (. . . to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world - James 1:27.) you will be blessed if you do them. - John 13:17.

". . . . broad is the road (path) that leads to destruction (eternal hell) . . . But. . . the narrow road (path) that leads to life (eternal life - heaven) and only a few find it." - Matt 7:13-14.

信靠并服从上帝的话语，永远都会带来祝福

又说：“你们所听的要留心，你们用甚么量器量给人，也必用甚么量器量给你们，并且要多给你们”（马可福音4:24）

  

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，你能够从上帝的话语得到多少祝福？这取决于你对上帝话语的信心有多大。上帝量给你祝福，是用你的量器，而不是祂的。上帝一直是这样运作。

例如，有两个人听到上帝关于治病的话语。一个人是以信心来衡量上帝的话语，他会说：“赞美上帝，我完完全全地相信，因祂的鞭伤我会得到医治，并且我会一直坚定地相信祂，我的病必会被治愈的。”

而另一个人是用怀疑来衡量上帝的话语。他说：“我不关心传道人提出的经文都说了什么，我会试试看这样治疗，不过我非常怀疑不会有什么作用。”

这两个人将按照他们各自的信心而得到结果，上帝会照他们怎么衡量祂的话语来量给他们：一个人将得到治愈，而一个人则不会。

我必须严肃地提醒你，有时以信心衡量上帝的话语是很难做到的。多年前，当我最好的朋友，丽萨先读到一节经文“罗马书13:8凡事都不可亏欠人”时，就受到误导：以诅咒来衡量这节经文，而不是祝福。那时，她住在一个非常狭小的房子里，对于她来说，有一个更大的新房子比其他需求更为迫切。

她怎么才能买一个满意的房子又不用贷款呢？这是不可能做到的。所以，这节经文对她来说好像是在说：“丽萨，你不可能有一个新房子。”

但是，她拒绝以诅咒来衡量这节经文。她抓住魔鬼的脖子，说：“现在听好了，你欺骗不了我，休想使我放弃新房子。”然后，丽萨开始相信，上帝会以祂的方式供给自己不用贷款就能买新房子。果然，上帝做到了。

如果你想得到充充满满的祝福，那你就要开始用充充满满的大篮子来盛。你要用相信上帝大能之手的大量器，那么上帝将会满满当当地填满你的篮子，直到溢出来再还给你。

研经：路加福音8:18

8:1 过了不多日，耶稣周游各城各乡传道，宣讲 神国的福音，和祂同去的有十二个门徒，  

8:2 还有被恶鬼所附、被疾病所累已经治好的几个妇女，内中有称为抹大拉的马利亚，曾有七个鬼从她身上赶出来；

8:3 又有希律的家宰苦撒的妻子约亚拿，并苏撒拿和好些别的妇女，都是用自己的财物供给耶稣和门徒。  

8:4 当许多人聚集，又有人从各城里出来见耶稣的时候，耶稣就用比喻说：“  

8:5 有一个撒种的出去撒种。撒的时候，有落在路旁的，被人践踏，天上的飞鸟又来吃尽了。  

8:6 有落在磐石上的，一出来就枯干了，因为得不着滋润。  

8:7 有落在荆棘里的，荆棘一同生长，把它挤住了。  

8:8 又有落在好土里的，生长起来，结实百倍。”耶稣说了这些话，就大声说：“有耳可听的，就应当听。”  

8:9 门徒问耶稣说：“这比喻是甚么意思呢？”  

8:10 祂说：“ 神国的奥秘只叫你们知道，至于别人就用比喻，叫他们看也看不见、听也听不明。  

8:11 这比喻乃是这样，种子就是 神的道。  

8:12 那些在路旁的，就是人听了道，随后魔鬼来，从他们心里把道夺去，恐怕他们信了得救。  

8:13 那些在磐石上的，就是人听道，欢喜领受，但心中没有根，不过暂时相信，及至遇见试炼就退后了。  

8:14 那落在荆棘里的，就是人听了道，走开以后，被今生的思虑钱财宴乐挤住了，便结不出成熟的子粒来。  

8:15 那落在好土里的，就是人听了道，持守在诚实善良的心里，并且忍耐着结实。  

8:16 没有人点灯用器皿盖上，或放在床底下，乃是放在灯台上，叫进来的人看见亮光。  

8:17 因为掩藏的事，没有不显出来的；隐瞒的事，没有不露出来被人知道的。  

8:18 所以你们应当小心怎样听，因为凡有的，还要加给他；凡没有的，连他自以为有的也要夺去。”  

在此，我们夫妻感谢上帝，我们主耶稣基督的父，赐给我们美好的一天，也赐给我们你们这些忠心于主的弟兄姊妹们。

Trust and Obey the WORD of GOD will always bring blessing

"And HE said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you."(Mark 4:24)

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

How many blessings are you going to receive from the WORD of GOD? It depends on how many you expect to receive. When GOD measures them out to you, HE will be using your measuring stick, not HIS own. HE always works that way.

Two people can hear GOD's WORD about healing, for example. One will measure it with faith. "Praise GOD, by HIS stripes I was healed!" he'll say. "I believe that with all my heart, and I'm going to keep on believing it until I receive my healing."

The other will measure it with scepticism. "I don't care what Bible verses he comes up with," he'll say. "I just don't trust that preacher. I'll give this healing stuff a try, but I doubt very much if anything's going to come of it."

Both of those people will get exactly what they expect. GOD will measure to them just as they measured the WORD. One will get healed...the other won't.

I must warn you though; sometimes measuring the WORD with faith is hard. Years ago, when my best friend Lisa first read the scripture, "Romans 13:8 let no debt remain outstanding . . . . ." it was tempting for her to measure it as a curse, not a blessing. She was living in a terrible little apartment at the time, and she wanted a new one more than just about anything.

How was she ever going to buy a decent apartment without borrowing? It didn't seem possible. So, to her, it was as if that scripture had said, "Lisa, you can't have a new apartment."

But she refused to measure it that way. She grabbed the devil by the throat and said, "Look here now, you're not going to cheat me out of my apartment." Then she started believing that somehow GOD could provide her with an apartment debt free. Sure enough, HE did.

If you want to receive blessings by the bushel load, start going to the WORD with a bushel basket. Put a big measure of faith in the hand of GOD. HE will fill it to overflowing and give it right back to you!

Luke 8:1-18

The Parable of the Sower

8 After this, JESUS travelled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of GOD. The Twelve were with HIM, 2 and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; 3 Joanna the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.

4 While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to JESUS from town after town, HE told this parable: 5 “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up. 6 Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.”

When HE said this, HE called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”

9 HIS disciples asked HIM what this parable meant. 10 HE said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of GOD has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that,“‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’

11 “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the WORD of GOD. 12 Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the WORD from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the WORD with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away. 14 The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature. 15 But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the WORD, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.

16 “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. 17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. 18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.”

We give thanks to GOD, the FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, for this day and for you, faithful brothers and sisters.
