Day 29 : 禁食日记 / Fasting Diary (我的骨肉 / My Flesh And Blood)

 

 

第二十九天:10月31日(一)

无论是在家里,办公室,或在台上,每次读到以赛亚58:7,上帝说他所拣选的禁食不是要“顾恤自己的骨肉而不掩藏吗?”这一句时,就会出现我一个姐姐的脸孔。。。

起初不以为然,可是数天下来,每每在读这经文,还是出现我姐的脸孔!今早我确定了,上帝要我帮她!

打了电话把他们两夫妇叫来我家,我跟他们谈我的感动,以神的话激励他们。
然后,我告诉他们我要以很实际的方式,帮助他们在经济上取得突破和自由,说是上帝给我的负担和感动。。。

除了很实际又长远的帮到他们现时的需要之外,我还告诉他们两夫妇,他们欠了我很多年的一笔钱不必还给我了,我说反正我没需要。

姐姐急忙说:可是我心里有负担,我有责任要想办法把钱还给你。。。
我说:你有负担因为之前我从没说过,你的债被免了;可是现在,我当着你们夫妇的面说,所欠我的不必还了,一分钱都不必,神要我祝福你们。

其实他们两夫妇都个别欠了我一些钱,很多年了,我都忘了数目了。

临走时,姐夫紧紧的握住我的手,声声说:谢谢你,谢谢你。。。

我看到他眼眶内有泪水。。。

“免我们的债,如同我们免了人的债。”
~ 马太福音 6:12 ~

禁食祷告求恩膏,恩膏又是为了什么?

“主的灵在我身上,因为他用膏膏我,叫我传福音给贫穷的人;差遣我报告被掳的得释放,瞎眼的得看见,叫那受压制的得自由。”
~ 路加福音4:18 ~

 

Day 29 : Oct 31st (Mon)

Whether at home, in the office, or behind the pulpit, each time when I read Isaiah 58:7, where God mentioned the kind of fasting He has chosen is  “not to turn away from your own flesh and blood”, one of my sisters’ face would appear in my mind…

At first, I did not pay attention to that, but day after day, whenever I read this verse, my sister’s face would appear again! This morning I became certain God wants me to help her!

I called her and the husband to come see me, I told them the conviction in my heart, encouraged them with the word of God.
Then, I told them I want to use a very practical way to help them see breakthrough and freedom in their finance. I said that is the burden and conviction God has given me…

Apart from very practically and in a lasting manner helping them with their current need, I told them both as well, they do not have to pay me back anymore the money they owed me for many years already. I said after all I do not need the money too.

My sister quickly said: But I have the burden in my heart, I have the responsibility to pay you back…
I said: You have the burden because I never told you before your debt is forgiven;  but now, I say it right in front of you both, you do not need to return the money to me, not even a cent, God wants me to bless you.

Actually both of them separately owed me some money for many years already, I have even forgotten the amount.

Before they left, my brother in law shook and held my hand tightly, saying: Thank you, thank you…

I saw tears in his eyes…

“Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.”
~ Matthew 6:12 ~

We fast and pray for anointing, but what is the anointing for?

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed”
~ Luke 4:18 ~
