第二十七天：10月29日(六)

今天跟大家分享那天在吉隆坡听到的比喻，Pastor David Demian分享了一个很生动的画面，然后问了一个问题；我心中马上冒起一个念头说，我一定要跟教会分享这个感人比喻。

Pastor David叫我们想像一个画面，一个爸爸带他几个小孩外游，到运动场时跟他几位小孩说，大家来赛跑。因为每个小孩年龄不同，弱小的肯定是跑输的。Pastor David就问我们说，开始跑了，爸爸应该会跑在哪个孩子的身边，与他同步或作伴？

大家马上知道答案，爸爸当然是与那最弱小、跑最后的在一起，怕他被抛在后头，跌倒啊，受伤啊，什么的。。。

那就是爸爸的爱，那就是天父的爱。。。可是我们却常常觉得每当自己软弱、跌倒、不合神心意、不是一个很好的基督徒的时候，神一定不再爱我们，会生气我们，把我们丢下来不理。。。事实是，天父反而会陪在我们身边，鼓励我们，帮助我们继续跑到终点。。。

“于是起来，往他父亲那里去。相离还远，他父亲看见，就动了慈心，跑去抱着他的颈项，连连与他亲嘴。”
～ 路加福音15:20 ～

Day 27 : Oct 29th (Sat)

I shared with the church the parable I heard in KL that day, Pastor David Demian shared a very vivid illustration, then he asked us a question. At that moment, a thought entered my mind immediately that I must share this touching parable with the church.

Pastor David asked us to imagine a scenario where a father brings his kids for an outing, and in the sports field he tells his kids to have a race with him. Because each child’s age is different, so the younger or weaker ones would certainly lose. Then Pastor David asked us, when they begin running, which child will the father be running beside, same pace with him and accompanying him?

Immediately we all knew the answer, of course the father will be with the weakest and the one running last, fearing that this kid would be left far behind, that he might fall or hurt himself or what…

That is the love of a father, that is the love of our Father God… but so many times we tend to feel that God will stop loving us, be mad at us, or abandon and ignore us when we are weak, when we fall, not so pleasing to God, or when we feel we are not a good Christian… The truth is, our Father God will instead be by our side, encouraging us and helping us to continue running till the finishing line…

“So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.”
~ Luke 15:20 ~

第二十六天：10月28日(五)

昨天早上，在无预警之下，接了一通电话，感觉神要我飞往吉隆坡，所以我照着行了。今天又飞回古晋了。。。
看似，甚至感觉上身体会累，但灵里却饱足，得着神的喂养和鼓励。

一回到古晋也没休息，就准备晚上要在青少团分享的信息；神很恩待我，只要我向他求，他就会感动我，让我很轻易就准备好我的讲章，或脑海里就晓得要分享什么。

过后，像每个礼拜五一样，我载恩恩去学钢琴，等他下课，带他去游泳。。。生活如常，都是神的恩典！

我的讲章一般上只写下一些重点，可是每次在台上就会有源源不断的启示和感动跟大家分享。圣灵的感动和启示也是神给我的一个极大恩典，非靠自己努力，不需要想破脑袋，是圣灵随意而给。

喜欢耶稣的这一句话：

“风随着意思吹，你听见风的响声，却不晓得从哪里来，往哪里去；凡从圣灵生的，也是如此。”
～ 约翰福音3:8 ～

神的话真的很真，只要单纯相信，渴慕追求，你必定经历他的真实！

Day 26 : Oct 28th (Fri)

Yesterday morning, without any prior notice, I received a telephone call and felt God wanted me to fly to KL, so I did. I flew back to Kuching today…

Looked like, or even really tired physically, but spiritually satisfied, receiving God’s feeding and encouragement.

I did not rest as soon as I reached Kuching, I prepared the message I was to share at the Young Adults and Youths combined meeting tonight.. God is very gracious to me, as long as I ask Him, He will prompt my heart and I would then be able to easily get my sermon ready, or I would know what to share in my mind.

After that, like any other Friday, I sent Moses to his piano class, waited for him to finish, brought him to swim… life went on like normal, this is all the grace of God!

Normally I only write down the main points in my sermon notes, but each time I would have unending flow of revelations and convictions to share when I am on stage. The conviction and revelation of the Holy Spirit is also one great gracious gift God had given me, not by my own effort, not through thinking myself nuts, but freely given by the Holy Spirit.
I love what Jesus said:

‘The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
~ John 3:8 ~

God’s Word is indeed very true, as long as you believe innocently, have the hunger or desire, you will surely experience His reality!

 第二十五天：10月27日(四)

今天发生了一件很奇怪的事情。。。
晨祷过后，接到吉隆坡来的电话，让我决定飞过去一趟，明天再飞回来，所以就忙着上网查机位和时间。
正忙碌的时候，我也传简讯向身在温哥华的思秀要一些资料，她马上也把资料传给我。我继续忙着要订机票。。。

突然，看到思秀又一则简讯进来说“哦，阿们！”，我停顿一下想她在“阿们”什么？我刚才说了什么？
在好奇之下，我打开简讯箱去看她“阿们”我讲的什么东西。。。看到她“阿们”的简讯上面一则“我”所传给她的简讯。。。
但是。。。咦？我有传给她这则简讯吗？才两分钟前传的信息，我怎么毫无印象或记忆我有打这一行字？！

我停下工作企图再想一想，我有传这则简讯给她吗？难道我的手指这么快，潜意识里传简讯自己都不察觉？！
这简讯说：“God will bless you beyond your imagination.” （译：神会赐福你超越你所能够想像。）

我就赶忙回复思秀说：“Hey hey hey, something very strange!!!”（嘿嘿嘿，很奇怪的一件事！！！）

我就告诉她怎么我都想不起来我有传那简讯给她，而且只不过是两、三分钟前！她听了非常感动！

总之，不管是不是我在潜意识里传给她，或者“不是我”。。。我都相信是神的作为！能在潜意识里也祝福人的确是很不错的一件事；另，我们能接受耶稣会传简讯吗？对我来说，邪灵所传的简讯我都收过，难道耶稣不能吗？

下午我就飞往吉隆坡，参加晚上的聚会，在敬拜的时候，带领敬拜的姐妹被圣灵感动放声大哭，起初我听得真的还有点不习惯，而且也蛮长的一段时间她这样子。突然间，她停止哭泣，她大声的说了几声“嘿！嘿！嘿！”。。。我马上想起我早上简讯里的“嘿！嘿！嘿！”，感觉是上帝叫回我“嘿！嘿！嘿！”！。。。我有点微笑因觉得好笑。。。

里面一个念头出现：上帝如果要做一些新事，是我们无法想像的，尽管是耶稣传简讯鼓励我们，我们真的能相信和接受吗？
我感觉上帝问我那个问题。。。

“神能照着运行在我们心里的大力，充充足足地成就一切，超过我们所求所想的。”
～ 以弗所书3:20 ～

 

 

Day 25 : Oct 27th (Thur)

Something very strange happened today…
After the morning prayer, I received a call from KL, and I decided to fly over and come back the next morning. So I quickly went online to check the flight situation.
While I was busy doing that, I sent a text message to Esther in Vancouver asking for some information. She sent me the information immediately. I continued with my ticket checking…

Suddenly, another text message of Esther’s came in saying “Oh Amen!”, I paused a while to think as to what she was saying “Amen” to? What did I say just now?
Out of curiosity, I opened the messages box to see what was the thing that I said to cause her to say “Amen” to… Then I saw above her “Amen” message was another message that “I” typed…
But… wait! Did I send her this message? Only about two minutes ago, how come I had no impression or memory at all of sending her this message?!

I stopped work to try to recall, did I send her this message? Are my fingers so fast that I typed this subconsciously without realizing?!
The message says: “God will bless you beyond your imagination.”

I quickly replied her and said: “Hey hey hey, something very strange!!!”

I told Esther I just could not recall ever sending her that message, and it was only sent about two or three minutes ago! She was very touched when she heard!

No matter what, whether it was me sending it subconsciously or “not me”… I believe it is the work of God! To be able to bless people even in your subconscious state is indeed a very good thing; also, can we accept the fact that Jesus knows how to send text messages? As for me, I have received text messages from demons before, so why can’t Jesus send text messages?

I flew to KL in the afternoon, joined the evening meeting. During the worship, the worship leader was filled with the Holy Spirit and crying loudly, I was kind of not very comfortable at first, and it went on for quite a while. Suddenly she stopped crying, and she said loudly a few times “Hey! Hey! Hey!”… I was immediately reminded of my text message in the morning saying “Hey hey hey”, and I felt like God was answering me back with “Hey! Hey! Hey!”… I felt kind of funny and smiled…

Then a thought appeared inside: If God were to do something new that is beyond our imagination, even if it is Jesus sending a text message to encourage us, can we really believe and accept that?
I felt God was asking me that…

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.”
~ Ephesians 3:20 ~
