忠言逆耳

任凭义人击打我，这算为仁慈；任凭他责备我，这算为头上的膏油，我的头不要躲闪（诗篇141:5）

平安，弟兄姊妹们！当义人用严厉的责备或令人痛苦的纠正来“击打”我们时，他们这样做是为了我们的益处。只有愚蠢的人，才会在自己实际需要青霉素的时候，却要冰激凌吃。

Ps. 14:5 - Let the righteous strike me; it shall be a kindness. And let him rebuke me; it shall be as excellent oil; led my head not refuse it.

Shalom Brothers and Sisters,

When the righteous “strike” us through a stern rebuke or painful correction, they do so for our own good. Only a fool would call for ice cream when he really needs penicillin.

财政上和灵命上的强盛

（修订版）那时，敬畏耶和华的人彼此谈论，耶和华侧耳而听，且有纪念册在祂面前，记录那敬畏耶和华、思念祂名的人。万军之耶和华说："在我所定的日子，他们必属我，是我宝贵的产业。我必怜悯他们，如同人怜悯那服侍他的儿子。那时，你们必再一次看出义人和恶人、事奉上帝和不事奉上帝的人，有何差别"（玛拉基3:16-18）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，上帝极为关切你财政上和灵命上的强盛，不仅如此，祂还想要大大地加增并保护你财政上和灵命上的兴盛（耶和华说：“我知道我向你们所怀的意念，是赐平安的意念，不是降灾祸的意念，要叫你们末后有指望”）

可是，上帝却无法这么做，除非你为祂敞开大门，你才能得到上帝为你准备好的祝福。

怎么为上帝敞开大门呢？就是透过一个有行动的信心（雅各书2:22 可见信心是与他的行为并行，而且信心因着行为才得成全），并热爱服从上帝的话语。

当你对上帝的话语付诸于有行动的信心，就是给上帝一个合法的权利来干预你财政上和灵命上的事务，并祝福你富足和保守你抵挡魔鬼带来的破坏（马太福音7:25-27 雨淋、水冲、风吹撞着那房子，房子总不倒塌，因为根基立在磐石上。凡听见我这话不去行的，好比一个无知的人把房子盖在沙土上，雨淋、水冲、风吹撞着那房子，房子就倒塌了，并且倒塌得很大）。当你以有行动的信心服从上帝时，你就为你的成功和丰盛打下了地基。你是把你的财产交托上帝保管，那么当你需要的时候，你就可以使用它们。

但是，不要等到你没有退路的时候才开始这样做，现在就做。现在就开始发展你的信心，当事情能够顺利进展时，是通过你作为真信徒，默想上帝承诺你的祝福。现在就开始学习按照上帝的话语行事，那么当撒旦设法使你陷入财政和灵命的窘境时，他必会失败。撒旦对你财政和灵命的控制，也会得到破坏。因为你已经将自己立在上帝的圣约上，撒旦根本没有机会击败你，上帝会为你的利益而制止他。

如果你还没有向上帝敞开大门，让祂介入兴盛你的财政和灵命的事务中，那么就不要再等下去了，今天就这样做（这很紧迫，因为撒旦在任何时候都能击打你）。当明天的压力来临时，你靠着特权已经准备妥当并受到保护，就是那些以有行动的信心、热爱并服从上帝的人所享有的保障。

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。

Financial and Spiritual Prosperity

The Faithful Remnant

Malachi 3:16 Then those who feared the LORD talked with each other, and the LORD listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in HIS presence concerning those who feared the LORD and honoured HIS name.17 “On the day when I act,” says the LORD ALMIGHTY, “they will be MY treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him. 18 And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who obey GOD and those who do not.

Dear Brothers and Sisters

GOD is vitally interested in your financial and spiritual prosperity. HE wants to multiply and protect them (Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.)

But HE won't be able to--unless you open the door for HIM to do it.

How? Through Active Faith(James 2:22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did), and love to Obey HIS WORD.

When you have active faith in GOD’s WORD, you give GOD the legal right to intervene in your financial and spiritual affairs, to bless you richly, and to defend you against the destruction the devil brings (Matthew 7: …25"And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. 26"Everyone who hears these words of MINE and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27"The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell-- and great was its fall." ). When you have active faith and obey GOD, you lay a foundation for success and abundance. You establish deposits with GOD you can draw on when you need them.

But don't wait until your back is against the wall to start. Begin now. Start developing your faith when things are going well by meditating on the blessing GOD's WORD promises you as a true follower. Learn to act on that WORD now, and when Satan tries to put you in a financial and spiritual corner, he'll fail. Satan’s power over you financially and spiritually will have already been broken. Because you've established yourself on the covenant of GOD, Satan will have no chance against you. GOD will rebuke him for your sake.

If you haven't yet opened the door and given GOD a way into your financial and spiritual prosperity, don't wait any longer. Do it today. (This is urgent. Satan can strike any moment.) Then, when the pressures of tomorrow come, you'll be prepared and protected by the special privileges that are guaranteed to those who have active faith, love and obedience to GOD.

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

求你使我知道当行的路

求你使我清晨得听你慈爱之言，因我倚靠你。求你使我知道当行的路，因我的心仰望你（诗篇143:5）

平安弟兄姊妹们！我们所有人，每一天里的每分每秒都需要上帝的带领，并且上帝也指示我们要这样来向祂请求。我们必须以有行动的信心向上帝祈求带领，然后认真听从祂的声音，上帝永远都会指引那些真切服从并跟从祂话语的人。

Ps. 143:8 Cause me to hear YOUR loving kindness in the morning. For in YOU do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to YOU.

Shalom Brothers n Sisters,

We all need GOD's guidance every minute of the day, and HE instructs us to ask for it. We must ask in faith and then listen carefully for HIS voice. HE always guides those who really want to obey and follow HIS WORD.

服从上帝，以至成义

求你指教我遵行你的旨意，因你是我的 神。你的灵本为善，求你引我到平坦之地（诗篇143::10）

平安弟兄姊妹们，我们每天都会顺服某一位。保罗说：“我们作罪的奴仆，以至于死；或服从上帝，以至成义”（罗马书6:16）。如果上帝是我们的主人，那么我们不是应该学会服从上帝吗？

Ps. 143:10 Teach me to do YOUR will, for YOU are my GOD; YOUR SPIRIT is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.

Shalom Brothers n Sisters,

Every day we obey someone. Paul says that we can sin, which leads to death; or we can obey GOD, which leads to righteousness (Rom. 6:16). If GOD is our MASTER, shouldn't we learn to obey.

当你先寻求上帝并服从祂的命令时，胜利永远都属于你

非利士人来到巴力毗拉心，大卫在那里杀败他们。大卫说：“ 神借我的手冲破敌人，如同水冲去一般。”因此，称那地方为巴力毗拉心（意思是“冲破之主”）（历代志上14:11）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，“如同洪水冲破一般”，我喜欢这句经文！它描绘出，洪水如此强大又准确地冲破堤坝的画面。

你还记得那个故事吗？一个小男孩看到水坝上漏了一个小孔，然后他就用自己的手指堵住那个孔。因为他知道，每过一秒钟，水穿透小孔的力量就会增大一些，那么小孔就会逐渐被水冲大。当水坝因小孔变为大洞而没有了抵挡之力时，穿孔的细流就很快变成了汹涌的洪水。

当你靠着信心向上帝伸出求救之手，期望上帝击败你的敌人，如祂为大卫所做的一样，那么你将开始如洪水破堤一样地击败你的敌人。

你要在那些困难、疾病和沮丧的墙坝上钻出小孔，魔鬼任何的堤坝都无法阻挡你。而且，你要用你的信心并靠着上帝的话语，在那些墙坝上坚持深挖这个小孔。

然后，日复一日，靠着坚确讲出真信心的话语来坚持不懈地凿大那个孔。不要停止！因为，上帝的大军会如灵水的海洋一般在你身后支援你。每当你讲出一句对上帝有信心的话语，灵水就会穿过那个孔，并且你讲得越多、祷告越殷切，灵水就会将魔鬼的堤坝彻底冲毁。

现在就开始冲破你的敌人，坚定地说：“主耶稣，您能作为我的冲破之主，我感到非常地荣幸。您将您大能的洪水席卷我的生命，我非常地感谢您。因为我知道，没有任何困难能抵挡这大能的洪水，贫穷不能、家庭的问题不能、疾病也不能，并且魔鬼用任何事情都无法阻止我获得最终的胜利。我赞美您，从今时直到永远。阿们。”

坚持这样祷告，并坚持相信你的祷告必被垂听！那么不久之后，上帝的大军将会冲破并摧毁你生命道路上所有的阻碍。

研经：历代志上14:8-17

14:8 非利士人听见大卫受膏作以色列众人的王，非利士众人就上来寻索大卫。大卫听见，就出去迎敌。  

14:9 非利士人来了，布散在利乏音谷。  

14:10 大卫求问 神说：“我可以上去攻打非利士人么？你将他们交在我手里么？”耶和华说：“你可以上去，我必将他们交在你手里。”  

14:11 非利士人来到巴力毗拉心，大卫在那里杀败他们。大卫说：“ 神借我的手冲破敌人，如同水冲去一般。”因此称那地方为巴力毗拉心。  

14:12 非利士人将神像撇在那里，大卫吩咐人用火焚烧了。  

14:13 非利士人又布散在利乏音谷。  

14:14 大卫又求问 神， 神说：“不要一直地上去，要转到他们后头，从桑林对面攻打他们。

14:15 你听见桑树梢上有脚步的声音，就要出战，因为 神已经在你前头去攻打非利士人的军队。”   

14:16 大卫就遵着 神所吩咐的攻打非利士人的军队，从基遍直到基色。  

14:17 于是大卫的名传扬到列国，耶和华使列国都惧怕他。

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。

Victory is always yours when you seek GOD first and obey HIS commands

1 Chronicles 14:11

"So [Israel] came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote the [Philistines] there. Then David said, GOD has broken my enemies by my hand, like the bursting forth of waters; therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim (LORD of breaking through)."

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Like the bursting forth of waters. I love that phrase! It paints such a powerful and accurate picture of a breakthrough.

Do you remember the story of the little boy who saw a leak in the dam and plugged up the hole with his finger? He knew that the force of the water flowing through that one tiny hole would have enlarged the leak with every second that passed. And, as the dam gave way to the pressure, that tiny trickle would have quickly become a raging flood.

As you reach out your hand in faith, expect GOD to break in upon your enemies just like HE did for David. That's how your breakthrough will come like the bursting forth of waters!

Punch one little hole in that wall of problems, sicknesses, disappointments and no devilish dam will hold you back. Dig one tiny hole in it with your faith and with the WORD of GOD.

Then keep tearing away at that hole by speaking out that true faith day after day. Don't quit! Because GOD's forces are backed up behind you like an ocean of spiritual water. Each time you speak a word of faith, they leak through. The more you speak and the more you pray, the bigger that leak will get.

Begin your breakthrough right now. Say, "LORD JESUS, I rejoice today that YOU are LORD of my breakthrough. I thank YOU that the flood of YOUR power is about to sweep through my life. I know there is no problem that can stand against it. Poverty can't stand against it. Family problems can't stand against it. Sicknesses can’t stand against it. Nothing the devil can do can stop my victory. I praise YOU for it NOW and FOREVER! Amen."

Keep praying that. Keep believing that. And before long, the forces of GOD will come bursting through, demolishing every obstacle in their path!

Scripture Study:  

1 Chronicles 14:8-17

New International Version (NIV)

David Defeats the Philistines

8 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, they went up in full force to search for him, but David heard about it and went out to meet them. 9 Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley of Rephaim; 10 so David inquired of GOD: “Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hands?”

The LORD answered him, “Go, I will deliver them into your hands.”

11 So David and his men went up to Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He said, “As waters break out, GOD has broken out against my enemies by my hand.” So that place was called Baal Perazim. 12 The Philistines had abandoned their gods there, and David gave orders to burn them in the fire.

13 Once more the Philistines raided the valley; 14 so David inquired of GOD again, and GOD answered him, “Do not go directly after them, but circle around them and attack them in front of the poplar trees. 15 As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, move out to battle, because that will mean GOD has gone out in front of you to strike the Philistine army.” 16 So David did as GOD commanded him, and they struck down the Philistine army, all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.

17 So David’s fame spread throughout every land, and the LORD made all the nations fear him.

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

禁果

偷来的水是甜的，暗吃的饼是好的，人却不知有阴魂在他那里…（箴言9:17-18）

平安弟兄姊妹们！暗地里做那些被禁止的事情时，常会伴着一定的刺激。可是，不断体验这种刺激，通常会使人“活在不安中”，并且这样做的最终结局，就是让你坠入悬崖。

Forbidden fruit

Pro. 9:17-18 "Stolen water is sweet, And bread eaten in secret is pleasant." But he does not know that the dead are there. . . . .

Shalom Brothers n Sisters,

There is a certain thrill in doing forbidden things that no one sees you do. An adrenaline rush often accompanies this kind of "living on the edge" - but it ends when you fall off the cliff.

敬畏上帝

敬畏耶和华，在乎恨恶邪恶。那骄傲、狂妄并恶道，以及乖谬的口，都为我所恨恶（箴言8:13）

平安弟兄姊妹们！作为基督的跟从者（真正的基督徒），我们的灵命必须成长起来。那么，我们就必须逐渐地改变，使自己立定心志要竭力停止行恶，当我们实实在在地恨恶邪恶时，就不会再想做那些不被上帝悦纳的事情。

Fear GOD

Pro. 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate.

Shalom Brothers n Sisters,

As a follower (true Christian) of CHRIST, we must grow spiritually. And we must gradually change from trying to stop doing the evil thing that we really want to do, to actually hating the evil thing so that we no longer want to do it.

不要被迷惑

[关键词屏蔽]拉住那少年人，与他亲嘴，脸无羞耻对他说：“平安祭在我这里，今日才还了我所许的愿”（箴言7:13-14）

平安弟兄姊妹们！长久以来，人们利用宗教文字诱惑那些灵命稚嫩的基督徒陷入罪里，而另一些人则以宗教习俗混淆真正的虔敬。但是，我们自己决不能将自我感觉、个人意愿混淆为真正的灵命。

Not be confused

Pro. 7:13-14

So she caught him and kissed him; With an impudent face she said to him:“I have peace offerings with me; Today I have paid my vows.”

Shalom Brothers n Sisters,

People have long used religious language to entice naive Christians into sin. Others confuse religious practices with genuine godliness. But we should never confuse sentiment with true spirituality.
