修复 修复灵命的目标是:帮助那些“被魔鬼任意掳去的弟兄姊妹们,使他们可以醒悟,脱离罪恶的网罗”(提摩太后书2:26) 平安弟兄姊妹们!帮助我们在罪里的弟兄姊妹们修复与上帝的关系,这通常是漫长而痛苦的过程。我们要柔和地邀请他们与我们一起成长,并且提醒他们:上帝因为爱我们而责备并改造我们,这是一件极美的事情(诗篇119:67,71我未受苦以先,走迷了路,现在却遵守你的话。我受苦是与我有益,为要使我学习你的律例)。告诉他们:当我们以有行动的信心归向上帝并悔改自己的罪时,上帝决不会粉碎我们,因为祂深爱我们。当我们看到,上帝把一个新心和新灵放在他们里面、使他们充满喜乐并甘心乐意地走上帝的道路、谨守遵行上帝使他们得益处的命令时,我们是无比欣喜(上帝在以西结36:26-27里说:“我也要赐给你们一个新心,将新灵放在你们里面,又从你们的肉体中除掉石心,赐给你们肉心。我必将我的灵放在你们里面,使你们顺从我的律例,谨守遵行我的典章)!感谢赞美上帝! Restoration The goal of all spiritual restoration is to help our sinning brothers and sisters to "come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will" (2 Tim. 2:26). Shalom Brothers n Sisters, To restore our sinning brothers and sisters to fellowship with GOD is often long and painful. We need to gently invite them to grow with us and remind them how wonderful it is that GOD loves us enough to chastise us and mend us (Ps. 119: 67, 71 "Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep YOUR WORD:" and, "It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn YOUR statutes"). Tell them that GOD will never crush us when we in faith come to HIM to repent of our sins, because HE loves us so dearly. What a joy is ours when we see GOD put a new heart and a new spirit in them, causing them to walk joyfully and willingly in HIS ways and to keep HIS commandments for their own good (says the LORD in Ezek. 36: 26-27 "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put MY SPIRIT within you and cause you to walk in MY statutes, and you will keep MY Judgments and do them)! Praise the LORD! |
