顺着圣灵而行

“你们当顺着圣灵而行，就不放纵肉体的情欲了”（ 加拉太 5:16）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，顺着圣灵而行是战胜肉体的关键。如果你顺从在你里面上帝的灵的激励，那么你就不会被肉体所驾驭。

当你听从圣经的教导和圣灵的指示，那么你就会不断地按照圣灵所讲的来小调整你的生命。而作出这些小调整，将使你不被黑暗所牢笼。

你看，上帝知道你需要什么，祂能够看到你的未来，看到魔鬼在你前方生命中放置的陷阱和逼迫，所以你要以一颗有行动的信心来顺从圣灵的带领，祂会保守着你战胜逆境。

研经：哥林多前书10:1-14

10:1 弟兄们，我不愿意你们不晓得，我们的祖宗从前都在云下、都从海中经过、

10:2 都在云里海里受洗归了摩西，

10:3 并且都吃了一样的灵食，  

10:4 也都喝了一样的灵水，所喝的是出于随着他们的灵磐石，那磐石就是基督。  

10:5 但他们中间多半是　神不喜欢的人，所以在旷野倒毙。  

10:6 这些事都是我们的鉴戒，叫我们不要贪恋恶事，像他们那样贪恋的。  

10:7 也不要拜偶像，像他们有人拜的，如经上所记“百姓坐下吃喝、起来玩耍”。

10:8 我们也不要行奸淫，像他们有人行的，一天就倒毙了二万三千人。  

10:9 也不要试探主，像他们有人试探的，就被蛇所灭。  

10:10 你们也不要发怨言，像他们有发怨言的，就被灭命的所灭。  

10:11 他们遭遇这些事都要作为鉴戒，并且写在经上，正是警戒我们这末世的人。  

10:12 所以自己以为站得稳的须要谨慎，免得跌倒。  

10:13 你们所遇见的试探无非是人所能受的，　神是信实的，必不叫你们受试探过于所能受的，在受试探的时候总要给你们开一条出路，叫你们能忍受得住。  

10:14 我所亲爱的弟兄阿，你们要逃避拜偶像的事。  

愿上帝祝福你们，我的弟兄姊妹们--自上帝最卑微的仆人

Walking in the Spirit

"This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh."(Galatians 5:16)

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Walking in the Spirit. That's the key to overcoming the flesh. If you follow the prompting of the SPIRIT of GOD within you, you won't be dominated by the pressure your flesh tries to put on you.

As you listen to the written WORD and the HOLY SPIRIR telling you what to do, you'll constantly be making little adjustments in your life according to what HE says. And those little adjustments will keep darkness from overtaking you.

You see, GOD knows just what you need. HE can look ahead in your life and see the traps and pressures the devil is laying for you. So follow in faith the HOLY SPIRIT's leading and HE will manoeuver you safely around them to victory.

Scripture Study: 1 Corinthians 10:1-14

10:1 For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea.

10:2 They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.

10:3 They all ate the same spiritual food

10:4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.

10:5 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered over the desert.

10:6 Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did.

10:7 Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: "The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in pagan revelry."

10:8 We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did--and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.

10:9 We should not test the Lord, as some of them did--and were killed by snakes.

10:10 And do not grumble, as some of them did--and were killed by the destroying angel.

10:11 These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come.

10:12 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!

10:13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

10:14 Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry.

GOD bless you my Brothers and Sister,

不服从上帝就没有救恩

这未受割礼的非利士人是谁呢？竟敢向永生　神的军队骂阵吗？（撒母耳记上17:26）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，也许今天你正面对一个“巨人”，这个“巨人”可能是疾病、失败、财政不足或其它困难。总之，无论什么困难，你都不要被它吓倒，因为你有秘密武器。这个秘密武器曾经使一个牧童变成一个击杀熊狮和巨人的勇士，这个武器就是与全能上帝所立的血约。

在大卫的时代，“受割礼”就是与上帝立约的记号。因此，当大卫叫阵未受割礼的歌利亚时能够充满信心地说：“虽然这家伙是个巨人，又极其强悍，但是因为他没有与上帝立约，所以我决对能杀死他。”

如大卫一样，你与上帝也有立约，并且属于你的圣约更美好。大卫的圣约，为那些守约（谨守遵行上帝的话语）之人预备了丰盛的祝福，而那些背约（违背上帝的教导）的人就会自招诅咒。

属于你的圣约是新约，是主耶稣用自己的宝血重价买来的。然而，主耶稣虽然与你立宝血之约，但这并不是因为你的能力，而是完全出于主耶稣，并且惟独靠主耶稣才得以成就！所以你需要做的，就是相信并靠着有行动的信心接受主耶稣是上帝的儿子、热爱祂并遵行祂所讲的话【主耶稣在约翰福音14:15里说：“你们若爱我，就必遵守我的命令” 。主耶稣也提醒所有自称为基督徒的人：“你们为什么称呼我‘主啊、主啊’，却不遵我的话行呢？ ”-路加福音 6:46（注意：只有基督徒才会称主耶稣为他们的主）】

现在让我们读申命记28:16-68，这是一个诅咒的列表，但是基督从诅咒中释放了你，你也可以称它为巨人的列表，而主耶稣早已为你杀死了它们。这个列表里包含了所有恶毒，魔鬼曾经要用这些恶事来摧毁你。当你读这段经文时，你要喜乐起来，因为上帝会从这些痛苦艰难中解救你、医治你，但前提是：你必须服从上帝所有的话语。

如果你仍旧以不悔改的心生活在罪里（违背上帝），那么主耶稣在十字架上的死就与你毫无关系，你仍然会失去救恩。现在读马太福音25:31-46【在44节那些人回答说“主啊”（注意：只有基督徒才会称主耶稣为他们的主）】，以此警醒。

不要让任何巨人吓倒你，你与全能上帝有宝血之约（当你对上帝的信心足够强大时，你会尽心尽意地热爱祂并服从祂），所以世上的任何困境都不能夺去属于你的胜利。

Without obedience to the LORD, there is no salvation

"Who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?"(1 Samuel 17:26)

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

You may be facing a giant today. He may be a giant of sickness or failure, of financial shortage or another kind of trouble. But don't let him scare you. You have a secret weapon. A weapon that once turned a shepherd boy into a bear busting, lion killing, giant slaying champion. That weapon was a blood covenant with Almighty GOD.

Back in David's day, circumcision was the sign of that covenant. So, when he called Goliath uncircumcised, David was saying: This guy may be a giant; he may be strong; but he has no covenant with GOD and that's why I can kill him.

Like David, you, too, have a covenant. But yours is better. The covenant David had offered a wealth of blessings to those who kept (abide the WORD of GOD) it, but it also included curses for those who broke (disobey the teachings of our LORD) it.

Yours is a New Covenant that Jesus bought with His own blood. It doesn't depend on your ability. It depends on HIM and what HE has already done. HE has done it all! All you have to do is believe and receive in faith that JESUS is the SON of GOD and love HIM enough to abide in HIS spoken WORD (In John 14:15 JESUS said “If you love me, keep my commands”. And JESUS reminded all who call themselves Christians, “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?” Luke 6:46). [Take note that only Christians will call JESUS their LORD.]

Right now, read Deuteronomy 28:16-68. That's a list of the curses CHRIST has freed you from. You might even call it a list of the giants JESUS has already slain for you. It contains every diabolical thing the devil could ever use to destroy you. Read it and rejoice. GOD has healed you and delivered you from those things (only when you obey all HIS WORD)!

But if you continue to live in sins (disobey GOD) with an unrepentant heart, then JESUS’s death on the cross will have nothing to do with you and you can still lose your salvation. Right now, read Matthew  25: 31-46 ( in verse 44 ‘They also will answer, ‘Lord’’- take note that only Christians will call JESUS their LORD.) and be warned by it.

Don't let any giant intimidate you. You have a blood covenant with ALMIGHTY GOD (when your faith in GOD is strong enough to love HIM and obey HIM). There's no circumstance on the face of this earth that can take your victory away from you.

平安与你同在

应当一无挂虑，只要凡事借着祷告、祈求和感谢，将你们所要的告诉　神。 神所赐出人意外的平安，必在基督耶稣里保守你们的心怀意念（腓立比4:6-7）

从我们出世的那一刻起，便开始了忧虑，几乎每一分钟都在忧虑自己的事情，忧虑何时才能结束呢？我们怎样才能拥有平安呢？

忧虑能带给我们什么？

有些人的忧虑是为吃穿享乐、为有更好的房子、上更好的学校、更受别人的欢迎……

我们会很快陷入这些压力和欲望中，以致分散我们对上帝和神[关键词屏蔽]情的专注。当你陷入忧虑的沼泽，那好像就不会有平安的路让你走。

如果我们把所有精力都放在“忧虑”上，能为我们带来什么益处呢？主耶稣问祂的跟从者们：“你们哪一个能用思虑使寿数多加一刻呢？”（马太福音6:27）

其实，主耶稣原本应该比世上任何人的忧虑都多。作为人，祂与人类毫无分别，都有同样的需求；身为上帝之子降世，祂的意念是我们无法想象的，在祂的爱里，祂能够看到是罪使人类与上帝分离，祂也知道祂必要为人类的罪承受多么大的痛苦！可就是这样，祂仍旧渴望将平安和医治带给我们这些罪人。

忧虑中而生，平安中重生

一旦我们重生，拥有基督徒的生命，那么我们就能学到基督的教导：“我告诉你们，不要为生命忧虑吃什么、喝什么，为身体忧虑穿什么，生命不胜于饮食吗？身体不胜于衣裳吗？”（马太福音6:25）

一旦我们信靠主耶稣，那么我们就会以上帝的爱来关心自己，也会以上帝的爱来爱别人；我们会为上帝极大的祝福而赞美祂，也会想尽办法将祂的爱分享给更多的人！我们有任何事情都能呈在上帝的跟前，祂永远都会垂听；我们能拥有主的平安，是这个世界无法带给我们的。

主耶稣爱的光能够带领我们走出罪恶和忧虑的沼泽，引导我们走在祂平安的路上。

定睛主耶稣

我们怎样才能不忧虑呢？

让我们再从马太福音中寻求答案。在一个海上有大风浪的夜晚，门徒们坐在船上，看到主耶稣从海面上走向他们。这时，主耶稣的一个门徒--彼得想跟着主耶稣那样做，于是他就跳下船，也在海面上行走。

然而，当彼得开始关注大风浪的时候，他就把眼睛（注意力）从主耶稣的身上转移了，立刻他就开始下沉了，于是他赶快呼求主救他。主耶稣就拉住彼得，一起上了船，风浪立时就停了。

你看到了吗？当彼得定睛于主耶稣时，惊涛骇浪根本无法淹没他，而当他分散了对主的专注，就开始沉入海里。不过，生死关头他还记得向主耶稣求救，然后主耶稣就带领他走向平安又安全的船上。

同样地，尽管我们会因世界琐事而心烦意乱，但是我们必须专注于上帝。如果那些忧虑逼近我们，那我们必须归向上帝，上帝就会带领我们走向平安和安全。

世界所没有的平安

什么是你关心的？是生活的基本所需---吃、穿、住吗？还是其它事情--你的学业、工作、同事对你的评价、你的烦恼？

没有人说这些事情不重要或不用去解决，这些都是上帝赐给我们生活的一部分。但是，我们必须要把我们的注意力聚焦在上帝的教导上，而不是专注这些能让我们迅速陷入忧虑沼泽的琐事上。

当我们成为主耶稣的跟从者，我们就能得到祂的恩赐，就是祂的平安之路。“我留下平安给你们，我将我的平安赐给你们。我所赐的，不像世人所赐的。你们心里不要忧愁，也不要胆怯。”（约翰福音14:27）

所以要牢记：不要忧虑，只要祷告！将你的烦恼和请求呈在上帝跟前，并为祂赐给我们的一切而感谢祂，因为祂所赐的都必是最好的。在困境中要专注于上帝，那么上帝就会帮助我们拥有主的平安，是属世所无法明了的平安。

Peace be with you

Scripture: "Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell GOD what you need, and thank HIM for all HE has done. Then you will experience GOD’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand." Philippians 4:6-7

We start worrying when we are first born on earth. Hardly a minute goes by in which we aren’t concerning ourselves about something. When does it end? How can we experience peace?

What do we gain with worry?

Some of us worry about what we will wear, or what we will eat, or if we are being entertained, or if our houses are good enough, or if we are at the best school, or if we are well-liked enough…

Those stresses and anxieties can get us down so quickly! They distract us from our focus on the LORD and on godly things. When you are mired in the bog of worry, it seems there is no path to peace.

But what good does all the energy we spend on our anxiousness do us? JESUS asked HIS followers, “Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?” (Matthew 6:27)

JESUS could have had more to be concerned with than any other person on earth. HE had the same needs as any other human. However, since HE was born as the SON of GOD, HE had an awareness we can’t even imagine. In HIS love, HE could see the sin separating people from GOD. How it must have pained HIM to know that HE had to suffer for those sins! Yet HE desired peace and healing for us, the sinners.

Born to worry, reborn to peace

Once we are reborn into the Christian life, we can learn from JESUS’s teaching: “…I tell you not to worry about everyday life — whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing?” (Matthew 6:25)

Once we place our trust in HIM, we can concern ourselves with the love of God and love of others. We can praise HIM for HIS tremendous blessings, and try to share HIS love with others! We can take anything before GOD – HE is always listening. We can experience a peace unlike any we have ever experienced during our time on earth.

The light of JESUS’s love can take us from the bog of sin and worry and lead us on HIS path of peace.

Keep your eyes on JESUS

How can we keep from worrying?

Once again, we can look for an answer in the Gospel of Matthew. On a dark, stormy night, the Disciples were in a boat on a lake. They saw JESUS coming toward them, walking on the water! One follower, Peter, wanted to be like JESUS so much that he jumped from the boat and began walking on the water, too!

However, when he noticed the strong wind and deep waves, he took his eyes from JESUS and began to sink. Peter called to JESUS to save him! JESUS grabbed him, they climbed into the boat, and the storm stopped immediately.

Do you see? When Peter kept his eyes – or his focus –on JESUS, not even a stormy sea could topple him! But when he became distracted, he got caught up in the troubled waters. He did remember to call upon JESUS, and JESUS led him to the peace and safety of their boat.

Similarly, we must keep our focus on the LORD – despite the distraction of earthly worries. If they close in upon us, we must look back to GOD, and HE will lead us to peace and safety.

Out of this world peace

What are you concerned with?

Is it the basics of live – food, clothing, shelter?

Or are you concerned with other things – your school or work, your peers’ opinions, your boredom level?

No one is saying that those things aren’t important or that we don’t have to deal with them – they are part of the earthly life GOD has given us! But we must keep our focus on GOD, rather than earthly things, which can so quickly bog us in worry.

When we become followers of JESUS, we can accept the gifts HE has given us, including HIS path to peace. “I am leaving you with a gift — peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.” (John 14:27)

So remember: don’t worry; pray instead! Bring your troubles and requests before our LORD, thanking HIM for all the good things HE has provided for us. In troubled times, keeping our focus on GOD will help us experience a peace beyond any earthly understanding.

GOD bless you my Brothers and Sister,

主耶稣警告假冒伪善的人

第二天，他们从伯大尼出来，耶稣饿了，远远地看见一棵无花果树，树上有叶子，就往那里去，或者在树上可以找着什么。到了树下竟找不着什么，不过有叶子，因为不是收无花果的时候。耶稣就对树说：“从今以后，永没有人吃你的果子。”祂的门徒也听见了（马可福音11:12-14）

亲爱的弟兄姊妹们，福音书仅记载了这一次，主耶稣用超凡大能施行毁灭。那棵无花果树长满了叶子，通常情况下，在叶子长成之后才会结果子，而不是在长叶之前结果子。主耶稣在这里是把这棵树视为“应该结果子，却没有结”，这是一个很好的例子，比喻有些人相信自己结出了义果，但是他们却没有真正行出怜悯和爱心的行为，他们就如叶子一样，结不出果子就是形同虚设又毫无用处。所以主耶稣诅咒那棵无花果树，并不是对树发怒，而是要警告那些假冒伪善的人，不要看重外在的空虚表现，而要在行为上结出真正的义果。

JESUS’ warning to Hypocrites.

Mark 11: 12-14 The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14 Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

This is the only time recorded in the Gospels when Jesus uses His supernatural power to destroy. The tree is “fully leafed out”—a stage that usually comes after figs are ripe and not before. Because the tree looks as though it ought to have fruit but doesn’t, it is a perfect illustration of people who believe they have the good fruit of righteousness even though their actions are void of true compassion and love, as empty and useless as leaves. And so JESUS curses the fig tree, not out of anger with the tree itself, but as a warning to hypocrites who think their appearance is more important than the fruit of their actions.
