第十二天：10月14日(五)

有几个晚上好像没做什么特别的梦，昨晚依然有祷告说：神啊，你若要透过梦境跟我说话，就如此行吧。。。

早上醒来，感觉神没说话，没有什么有印象或感觉特别的梦境。灵修读经时问上帝今天中午带领祷告的方向，突然昨晚一个梦境浮现，随着而来的是一段经文。。。原来神有说话！

我梦见我意想不到的两个年轻人也跟我们一起禁食，特别有一位都已离神很远，甚至没看到他在教会里。在梦里，他很瘦，说他也与我们一起禁食，我很惊讶！感觉上他和以前一样火热，我感到很高兴。。。可是如今看到的事实不是如此。

当这梦境倒回来时，马上这经文就出现在我脑海里：

“弟兄们，若有人偶然被过犯所胜，你们属灵的人，就当用温柔的心把他挽回过来；又当自己小心，恐怕也被引诱。你们各人的重担要互相担当，如此，就完全了基督的律法。”
～ 加拉太书6:1-2 ～

太多时候，我们对软弱退后、冷淡跌倒的人，都报以批判和论断的眼光。今天，上帝提醒我们，他还爱他们，我们当为他们祷告，以温柔的爱心尽量把他们挽回过来。

另，第二节的“你们各人的重担要互相担当，如此，就完全了基督的律法。”。。。原来要完全基督的律法是那么简单的一件事。。。

Day 12 : Oct 14th (Fri)

For a few nights I did not have seemingly very special dreams, last night as usual I prayed: O God, if You want to speak to me through dreams, then please do…

When I woke up in the morning, I felt God did not speak, there was no impression of or any dream I feel special. While reading the Bible during my devotional time, I asked God for the direction in today’s noon-time prayer. Suddenly one scene of my dream last night appeared in my mind, followed by some verses… Yes! God did speak!

I dreamt of two unexpected young people fasting together with us, especially one who is very far from God now, and I do not even see him in church sometimes. In the dream, he looked very thin, he said he is also fasting together with us. I was very surprised! It felt like he was on fire like before, I was very happy… but what I see in reality at the moment is not so.

When this dream reappeared in my mind, immediately the following verses came to my mind too:

“Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.  Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
~ Galatians 6:1-2 ~

Too many times, we tend to be critical and judgmental toward those who have back-slidden, fallen or turned cold. Today, God reminded us, He still loves them, and we should pray for them and try our best to restore them with a gentle loving heart.

Also, verse 2 says “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”… Suddenly realized it is such a simple thing to fulfill the law of Christ…

第十一天：10月13日(四)

今天领祷告时的感动。。。求主扩大我们的心胸，就在最软弱时还能给人鼓励，就在最缺乏时也还能祝福别人，而且纯粹因为爱和关怀，没有想到回报或上帝会有什么奖赏。。。

我们也宣告教会异象其中一点：“叫万国因我们得福”。

“我必叫你成为大国；我必赐福给你，叫你的名为大，你也要叫别人得福。为你祝福的，我必赐福与他；那咒诅你的，我必咒诅他；地上的万族都要因你得福。”
~创世记12:2-3~

这是上帝给亚伯拉罕的应许，圣经也说我们是亚伯拉罕的后裔；因此，这应许也临到我们身上。
我相信“大国”也可以指我们所做的会越发蒙福扩大，好让我们能成为越多人的祝福。
但何谓亚伯拉罕的后裔？即，无论怎么样都对神有信心的人。然而，我相信亚伯拉罕能成为大国，能那么蒙福并不止因为他有大信心，他也有很大，很会祝福人的心胸！

上帝赐福亚伯拉罕，也要亚伯拉罕赐福别人。身为亚伯拉罕的后裔，这一点我们一定也要活出来，才是真正活在神的旨意里。

Day 11 : Oct 13th (Thur)

The prompting in my heart today as I led the prayer meeting… May God stretch our hearts that we may still encourage others even in our weakest moment, and bless others when we are the most lacking; and to do all these purely out of love and concern, not thinking about any return or how God is going to reward us…

We also proclaimed one of the points in our Blessed Vision: “That all nations will be blessed through us”.

“I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”
~Genesis 12:2-3~

This is the promise God gave Abraham, and the Bible tells us that we are Abraham’s descendants. Therefore this promise comes on us too. I believe “a great nation” can also mean whatever we do will be extended and blessed in order that we can become a blessing to even more people.
But what is Abraham’s descendant? It is someone with faith to believe in God no matter what. But I believe for Abraham to become such a great nation and so blessed, he not only had great faith, he had a very big heart that blessed others too!

God blessed Abraham, and He wanted Abraham to bless others as well. As Abraham’s descendants, we must live this out in order to be truly living in God’s will.

“One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.”
~Proverbs 11:24-25~

第十天：10月12日(三)

今天自己在读约翰福音12章时，有一股莫名的兴奋、感动和喜乐，因太多地方都在跟我说话。。。
所以鼓励你们今天也认真的看约12章。

其中在带中午祷告时让我联想到的是：
“耶稣说：“人子得荣耀的时候到了。
我实实在在地告诉你们：一粒麦子不落在地里死了，仍旧是一粒；若是死了，就结出许多子粒来。”（约12:23-24)

当然这经文讲的是耶稣将为我们死在十架上，但我今天的其它领受是，要荣耀耶稣，我们生命的一些东西也需要“死”；所以求主在这40天里面帮助我们把老我旧人全然钉死，不再复活！

Day 10 : Oct 12th (Wed)

Today while I was reading John Chapter 12 myself, I had this inexplicable excitement, prompting and joy, because many places were speaking to me…
So I encourage you to seriously read John 12 today.

Among those that reminded me while leading the noon-time prayer is:
^“Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. ^“ (John12:23-24)

Of course these verses are talking about Jesus going to be crucified for us on the cross, butmy other enlightenment today is, to glorify Jesus, some things in our lives must “die” too, so may God help us within these 40 days to crucify our old man and self and not let it come back to life again!

另，主说：
“若有人服事我，就当跟从我；我在哪里，服事我的人也要在那里；若有人服事我，我父必尊重他。”（约12:26)

太多时候，我们要主跟从我们，而不是我们跟从主，譬如：我们做了某些决定，然后要他赐福，或自己选择去某个地方，然后要他保守等等。。。

但 有时候我们确实希望自己所做的或决定的是神的旨意，有神的喜悦，有神同在与恩宠，可是却不确定有没有听到他的声音。今天中午有感动带领大家，祷告神膏抹我 们的思想和感觉，就是在我们不太确定神的声音的时候，让我们感觉和认为对的决定的那个感觉与思想是从神而来的感觉与思想。因此，在不知不觉的情况之下，爱我们的天父引领我们进入他旨意里面。
