信靠并服从

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，

你们既知道这事，若是去行就有福了（约翰福音13:17）  

“若是去行”：将基督所有的教导活出在我们的日常生活中。

“信靠上帝”，只是在理智上感知是不够的，还必须要有行为的兑现。但这并不意味着我们以行为来赚取上帝的接纳，我们服从上帝的行为是对上帝有真信心的明证。信靠与服从不可分割，信靠并服从上帝的话语，永远都会为我们带来祝福。

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。

（以上所写的，你们可以用来建造耶稣基督的国度）

TRUST and OBEY

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

John 13: 17Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

“if you do them” (all the teachings of CHRIST manifested in our daily life).

Intellectual perception is not enough, but must be backed up by commitment of life. This does not mean that our works are the basis of our acceptance by GOD, but that they are the evidence of our true faith. Trust and obedience are inseparable. Trust and obey GOD’s WORD will always bring blessings.

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

责备管教

凡我所疼爱的，我就责备管教他。所以你要发热心，也要悔改（启示录3:19）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，没有人喜欢被责备或管教，但在必要的时候存在责备管教的事，这是表明爱没有缺乏，而是富足。主耶稣责备管教我们，是因为这样才能使我们结出平安的果子，就是义（凡管教的事，当时不觉得快乐，反觉得愁苦。后来却为那经练过的人，结出平安的果子，就是义---希伯来12:11）

Rev. 3:19 "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent."

Dear Brothers n Sisters,

Nobody likes to be rebuked or chastened; but the presence of these things, when necessary, indicates not a lack of love, but its fullness. JESUS rebukes us because it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness. (Heb. 12:11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.)

永在的全能者

他们昼夜不住地说：“圣哉、圣哉、圣哉，主 神是昔在今在以后永在的全能者（启示录4:8）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，从某种意义上说，整卷《启示录》都涵盖在这节经文里。上帝将以祂的圣洁来审判世界和其上的每个人，并且祂能告诉我们将来的事，因为祂是住在永恒之中！

Rev. 4:8 . . . . .And they do not rest day or night, saying: "Holy, Holy, Holy, LORD GODALMIGHTY, who was and is and is to come!"

Dear Brothers andSisters,

In a sense, thewhole Book of Revelation proceeds out of this verse. GOD judges the earth and everyindividual in it on the basis of HIS holiness, and HE can tell us what iscoming because HE inhabits eternity.

成为另类

我不求你叫他们离开世界，只求你保守他们脱离那恶者。他们不属世界，正如我不属世界一样（约翰福音17:15-16）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，大多数人都不愿成为另类，是吗？但你知道，我们应该这样做。因为，上帝呼召我们成为另类，使我们不同于这个世界，以我们的生命来见证上帝的大能和大爱（惟有你们是被拣选的族类，是有君尊的祭司，是圣洁的国度，是属  神的子民，要叫你们宣扬那召你们出黑暗入奇妙光明者的美德---彼得前书2:9）。

例如，上帝不想让我们分享到世上的疾病，也不想让我们经受那些病痛、贫困和失败，上帝决不想让这些事临到祂的子民。

在以色列国被埃及俘虏的时期，上帝就给了我们一个明证。当法老拒绝释放以色列人，上帝便允许黑暗覆盖整个埃及。因此，三天里整个埃及笼罩在极其可怕的黑暗中，没有人敢活动（三天之久，人不能相见，谁也不敢起来离开本处，惟有以色列人家中都有亮光---出埃及记10:23）。

这就是一个惊心动魄的例证，证明了上帝想让我们有一个怎样的生命。我们应该过着荣耀上帝的神奇又得胜的生命，应该经常有人对我们说：“嗨，我听说上帝治好你的病了”，或者“我听说上帝把你从穷困、失败的地步扶持起来了，而且还救了你的孩子！”

所以，不要有所保留！让上帝的话语运作在你的生命中，敢于接受上帝丰盛的祝福。因为，这些祝福属于凡信靠并服从祂的人。让我们用上帝的话语，在生命中划出一条线，写上灵界的警告，对魔鬼说：“根据上帝的话语，这里是你的禁地！我不属于你，我的家人也不属于你！我的健康也不属于你，我的财产不属于你，我的事工也决不属于你！我永远属于上帝的国度！奉主耶稣基督的名，命你立刻离开我！”我们是否被人看起来有些神经兮兮呢？是的，上帝正是呼召我们要成为另类！

My prayer is not that YOU take them out of the world but that YOU protect  them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.(John 17:15-16)

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Being peculiar. That's not something most of us work to achieve, is it? But, you know, we should. GOD has called us to be peculiar--to stand out  from the rest of the world as living proof of HIS power and HIS love (1Pet. 2:9  But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, GOD’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of HIM who called you out of darkness into HIS wonderful light).

HE doesn't, for example, want us to share the ailments of the world. HE doesn't want us to share their sickness and poverty and failure. HE's never wanted that for HIS people.

GOD gave us a physical illustration of that during the time the nation of Israel was held captive in Egypt. Pharaoh had refused to set the Israelites free, so HE had allowed a thick darkness to cover the whole land. The darkness was so dreadful throughout Egypt that no one moved for three days. Exodus 10:23, tells us "No one could see anyone else or move about for three days. Yet all the Israelites had light in the places where they lived".

What a thrilling example of how GOD wants us to live. We should be glorifying GOD by the miraculously victorious lives we lead. We should constantly have people telling us, "I've heard how GOD healed you," or "I've heard how GOD prospered you and saved your children!"

So don't hold back. Put the WORD of GOD to work in your life and dare to receive the rich blessings that belong to those who believe. Start using the WORD to draw boundaries around your life, to paint spiritual warning signs for the devil. Signs that say:

“Off Limits! According to GOD's WORD, I don't belong to you anymore. My family doesn't belong to you. My health doesn't belong to you. My money doesn't belong to you. My ministry doesn't belong to you. I belong to a different kingdom. Now, back off in JESUS' Name! Does that sound a little peculiar? Good. That's exactly what GOD has called you to be!

上帝配得所有赞美和敬拜

我们的主、我们的  神，你是配得荣耀尊贵权柄的！因为你创造了万物，并且万物是因你的旨意被创造而有的（启示录4:11）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，作为我们的造物之主，上帝配得所有的赞美和敬拜。上帝将会特别审判那些败坏祂的创造的人（外邦发怒，你的忿怒也临到了，审判死人的时候也到了。你的仆人众先知和众圣徒，凡敬畏你名的人连大带小得赏赐的时候也到了，你败坏那些败坏世界之人的时候也就到了---启示录11:18），因为受造物必须要彰显出造物主的荣耀。

Rev. 4:11 "YOU are worthy, O LORD, to receive glory and honor and power; for YOU created all things, and by YOUR will they exist and were created."

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

As the CREATOR, GOD is worthy of all praise and adoration. HE has a special concern for judging those who destroy HIS creation (Rev. 11:18 "The nations were angry, and YOUR wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your people who revere YOUR name, both great and small - and for destroying those who destroy the earth."), for that creation was meant to display HIS glory.

现在就跪下来悔改

地上的君王、臣宰、将军、富户、壮士和一切为奴的、自主的，都藏在山洞和岩石穴里，向山和岩石说：“倒在我们身上吧，把我们藏起来，躲避坐宝座者的面目和羔羊的忿怒。因为他们忿怒的大日到了，谁能站得住呢？”（启示录6:15-17）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，当还没有悔改的时候，审判最终来临了。注意，以上就是那些不敬畏上帝的人的表述。他们虽然认识上帝，也懂得上帝是公正又公义的 神、是爱的 神，当他们悔改的时候，祂会宽恕他们的罪，但是他们仍选择活在罪里，拒绝悔改却又奢望上帝赦免他们的罪。

主内亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，现在就跪下来向上帝忏悔并悔改，胜于在审判之日扑倒于地。

Rev. 7:15-17 Andthe kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mightymen, . . . . hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, andsaid to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face ofHIM who sits on the throne and from wrath of the LAMB! For the great day of HISwrath has come, and who is able to stand?"

Dear Brothers andSisters,

Judgmentfinally comes when repentance doesn't. Take note that it is the ungodly whomake the above statement - they know GOD, and they know GOD is  just and righteous and GOD is love and GODwill forgive them when they repent. And yet they still live in sins, refuse torepent and expect GOD to forgive their sin.

My dear Brothersand Sisters in CHRIST, it is better to kneel in repentance than fall injudgment.

神必擦去他们一切的眼泪

神也必擦去他们一切的眼泪（启示录7:17）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，与上述一致的信息，上帝在启示录21:4里再次重申：“ 神要擦去他们一切的眼泪。不再有死亡，也不再有悲哀、哭号、疼痛。”

上帝之所以再次重申，是要我们记住：虽然在主里我们会有泪水，但是祂会亲自安慰我们，祂决不会将安慰的任务交给其他人。

Rev. 7:17 " . . . . And GOD will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

This line is repeated in Rev. 21:4 "HE will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying of pain."

It is as if GOD wants us to remember that though our tears will flow, yet HE will personally comfort us. HE will delegate this task to no one else.

sky5107

严厉的仁慈

在那些日子，人要求死，决不得死；愿意死，死却远避他们（启示录9:6）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，因为上帝不愿任何一个人死亡，所以在必要的时候，祂将会用“严厉的仁慈”来使我们关注，以此敦促我们归回祂的身边。如果能够使我们离开永死，那么即使在悔改的过程中会经受剧烈的疼痛，但这对于我们来说也是个好事！

Rev. 9:6 In thosedays men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, anddeath will flee from them.

Dear Brothers andSisters,

Since GOD does notdesire the death of anyone, when necessary HE will use "severemercies" to get our attention and urge us back to HIM. Even severe pain isa good thing if it keeps someone from eternal death.

sky5107

上帝统管万有

那四个使者就被释放。他们原是预备好了，到某年某月某日某时，要杀人的三分之一（启示录9:15）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，虽然地球上混乱不堪，但是从启示录的描述中，我们可以清楚地看到，上帝仍然完全掌管着万有。上帝已经预备这些天使，在特定的时间、做特定的工作。

照着上帝的期望，我们悔改并服从祂，且将我们所有的一切都交托给祂。

服从上帝的话语，永远都会得到祝福！

Rev. 9:15 - So thefour angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year,were released to kill a third of mankind.

Dear Brothers andSisters,

Despite the chaoson earth that the Book of Revelation describes, we still get indicationsthroughout the book that GOD remains completely in charge. GOD has preparedthese angels for a specific work at a specific time.

Repent and obeyGOD for HE desire that we obey HIM and leave all the consequences to HIM.

Being obedient toGOD's WORD will always bring blessings.

抵挡一切的罪恶

这二人（上帝的两个见证人）有权柄，在他们传道的日子，叫天闭塞不下雨，叫水变为血，并且能随时随意用各样的灾殃攻击世界。他们作完见证的时候，那从无底坑里上来的兽必与他们交战，并且得胜，把他们杀了（启示录11:6-7）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，这里所描述的神迹，不禁会使我们想起，上帝透过以利亚（以利亚对亚哈说：“我指着所侍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）和摩西（因为这一次我要叫一切的灾殃临到你（埃及王）和你臣仆并你百姓的身上，叫你知道在普天下没有像我的---出埃及记9:14）所行出的奇迹。同一位赋予神迹权柄的上帝，也将会赐给预言中这两个见证人权柄来再次彰显祂的大能。

直到我们的天父认为时候到了，否则我们不能离开这个地球。直到这“两个见证人”完成上帝交与的所有任务，否则任何敌人都无法伤害他们。

服从上帝并跪下来向上帝祷告，你才能够抵挡一切的罪恶。

Rev.11: 6-7 These (the two witnesses of GOD) have power to shut heaven, so that norain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters toturn them to blood, and strike the earth with all plagues, as often as theydesire. When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of thebottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them.

DearBrothers and Sisters,

Themiracles described here inescapably remind us of the wonders performed throughElijah (Elijah said to Ahab in - 1 Kin. 17:1 "As the LORD GOD of Israellive, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, exceptat my word.") and Moses (Ex. 9:14 "for at this time I will send allMy plagues to your very heart, and on your servants and on your people, thatyou may know that there is none like Me in all the earth.) The same GOD whoempowered them will demonstrate HIS power once again.

Wewill not leave this earth until our FATHER deems fit. The "twowitnesses" described here cannot be touched by their enemies until theyhave completed every task assigned to them by GOD.

ObeyGOD, pray on your knees and you can stand against all evils.
