第二十二天：10月24日(一)
今天带了朴传道到我们新堂地点祷告，她跟孙传道惊叹于上帝赐给我们的土地如此美好及不可思议。
她回想说十六年前她本都没计划来我们教会，后来也不是很甘心来那么小又默默无闻，只有屈屈几十人的教会，但还是顺服圣灵感动来了。

朴、孙两传道对我的第一个印象是瘦骨如柴，弱不禁风，因为那时也恰逢我个人进行21天禁食。她们说看着我帮她们提行李的背影，我见犹怜，心里想这个瘦弱年轻人怎样牧养教会啊？

后来为我祷告时，朴传道说看到一个让她很讶异的异象，就是我们的教会将成长如一棵大树开满极大又漂亮的白色花朵，后又结满果子，树干、枝子向天空延伸，叶子茂盛，各样有需要的人都憩息在树荫下。。。
看到这异象，两个传道再看看我的模样，感觉很难相信所看到的异象。。。

十六年后，她们相信那异象已正在开始成就中；只要忠心在神面前，没有什么是不可能的。

我由衷感谢主的恩待与保守，我如此不配，他却信实看顾、赐福到如今！
所以鼓励大家，不要轻看自己或现况如何，专心仰赖、信靠、亲近主，他必使你成大器！

这让我回想起，我开始做传道时，上帝给我的经文：

“神却拣选了世上愚拙的，叫有智慧的羞愧；又拣选了世上软弱的，叫那强壮的羞愧。”
～ 哥林多前书1:27 ～

Church-building in progress…

Day 22 : Oct 24th (Mon)

Today we brought Pastor Park to our new church site to pray, both her and Pastor Sun were in awe of such wonderful and unimaginable piece of land God has given us.
She recalled sixteen years ago she did not even plan to come to our church, and later she reluctantly came to this small and unknown church with only a few, less than a hundred members, but she obeyed the Holy Spirit to come.

The first impression of both pastors toward me was skinny as a stick and seemed so weak to be easily blown away by the wind. That was due to the fact that I was on a full 21-day fast at that time. They said I looked so pitiful as they looked at me from behind, carrying their luggage, and they thought to themselves as to how this skinny young man could ever pastor a church?

But later while praying for me, Pastor Park said she saw a vision that amazed her, that is our church is going to grow like a big tree blossoming with very big and beautiful white flowers, and will later bear much fruit. The trunk and branches are big and strong stretching to the sky, with lush leaves and many people with all kinds of needs resting beneath the shade of the tree…
Seeing this vision, both pastors took a look at me again, they found it hard to believe the vision…

Sixteen years later, they believe that vision is now in the process of accomplishing; as long as we remain faithful before the Lord, nothing is impossible.

I am whole-heartedly grateful to the gracious protection of the Lord, I am so unworthy and yet He is so faithful in caring and blessing till this day!
So, I want to encourage you all not to look down on yourselves or how your situation is at the moment, trust and fix your eyes on the Lord faithfully, draw near to Him always, He will surely raise you to become a mighty vessel!

This reminds me of the verse God gave me when I started pastoring:

“But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.”
~ 1 Corinthians 1:27 ~

第二十一天：10月23日(日)

今晚讲完第二堂道就上去看朴传道服事的情况，因为主日要讲两堂道，所以今天没有办法帮忙。。。
同工告诉我今天的服事非常特别，很多人身上的鬼都被赶走，而且有一些是蛮大只的鬼！
马上耶稣的话就进入我脑中：

“况且这女人本是亚伯拉罕的后裔，被撒但捆绑了这十八年，不当在安息日解开她的绑吗？”
～ 路加福音13:16～

“又对他们说：人子是安息日的主。”
～路加福音6:5~

可见特别献上给主的一天，一起聚集、敬拜赞美主、领受神的道和赐福等等，的确是神的美意，有特别恩膏和赐福。。。所以我们无论如何都不要错失机会，主日一定都要来聚会。

另外，神感动我的是，那些这几天那么摆上时间，又禁食又配合服事的人有福了，因为神所拣选的禁食就是：

“我所拣选的禁食，不是要松开凶恶的绳，解下轭上的索，使被欺压的得自由，折断一切的轭吗？”
～以赛亚书58:6～

第二十天：10月22日(六)

与韩国朴传道一起服事，回到家已凌晨1:30，2:30am上床睡觉，6:00am不知何故就醒来了！本想继续睡，可是脑子里充满很多当做的事情。。。主日讲章还没写、禁食日记已拖延两天没上载、待会与朴传道的服事等等。。。
结果我放弃了，起来洗澡“开工”，向神求力量、智慧和启示，好叫我能在短时间内，成就几件事情，而且不马虎。

神听了我的祷告！马上有感动晓得要讲什么道，一口气就写完了；然后，也把禁食祷告的感动写完，刊登上去了；一切准备就绪，又到教会与朴传道配搭服事了！
奇妙的是，一点也不觉得累；而且一般上这样赶时间，我都会有一点偏头痛，可是这次头也不会痛！神真是美好！

当然我知道我不是救主，不是每一件事都一定要我做；但有时候，有一些事的确是无法避免。。。那时，我们真的是要求神赐力量和智慧了：“你们中间若有缺少智慧的，应当求那厚赐与众人、也不斥责人的神，主就必赐给他。”（雅各书1:5)

我也在想，耶稣的这一句话是不是也有这个意思：

“耶稣说：“我有食物吃，是你们不知道的。。。我的食物就是遵行差我来者的旨意，做成他的工。””（约翰福音4:32, 34)
