三個連續的異象

我把這一週，連續看到的三個異象記錄下來。前兩個是在等候神時領受的，最後一個則是在開車時領受到的。這三個異象使我改變對人的看法，也改變我對服事的態度，使我更喜樂，更懂得欣賞身邊的人，也更能夠享受與主同工。

3/11/09
主讓我看到我與他同騎著馬，越過一天很美麗的山水，草地綠油油的，非常美麗，讓我心靈安寧。我們一直往前走，是要騎進一個高聳的山。然後當我向上仰望時，我看到父神的笑容，他是那麼開心，那麼喜樂。主阿，這異象是什麼意思？

「那些綠油油的山水，是我一直帶你經過的，只是你常錯過，你看到的都是前面的路，前面的挑戰…，但不要忘記我放在你身旁的美景，是要給你欣賞，讓你enjoy 的。當然，不要只看前面的挑戰，要在往上看，看那在天上愛你的父，就是我。Enjoy the journey, enjoy me.」

3/13/09
在等候神的時候，我繼續看到上次的那個異象。我聽到號角聲，似乎在提醒我催促我不要逗留眼前的美景。我很捨不得離開，因為前面看起來像是曠野，不是綠油油的山水和草原。但我還是跟著主的馬往前，當我往前看得時候，發現主所經過的地方，那裡的曠野立刻變成綠油油的山水和草原，我跟在他後面，其實根本沒有錯失什麼。

前方的路很遙遠，似乎永遠都到不了盡頭，有個聲音告訴我，這是一個接力，需要交棒給下一代，延續下去才會到終點。主似乎在提醒我，也許我不是那個finisher，但又有什麼關係？祂不也是等待了那麼久？！然後我看到兩個小朋友在玩耍，玩得很開心，我好羨慕，真希望我是他們。

這時候主感動我，「向主捨己不是一件痛苦的事，而是記溫柔又甜美的事。因為主愛我，因此我可以喜樂的把生命交給祂。」於是我把自己的心思、想法、目標、理想…都放在手中，交給了主，並從祂那領受新的生命和氣息。突然我發現，騎馬的圖片改變了，我變成和主一同旅遊、玩耍，就像那兩個孩子一樣。「捨己是通往喜樂和享受與主同行的必經路徑」！

3/17/09
接續3/13看到的異象，今天在開車時，我又看到接續的畫面。我看見原本通往高山，沿路充滿挑戰與危險的路，突然間變為通往神榮耀之城的大道。我問神這是什麼意思，得到的答案是：「當你用我的眼光來看，就不覺得這條路是苦的，而是我為你預備的大道，通往位神百姓預備的榮耀之城。」

Under Reconstruction敬請期待

Thanks to 1 particular comment...
I have been thinking over one question...
How to cultivate DNA lifestyle
while at the same time protecting privacy
謝謝一個建言, 我從新思考一個問題
如何一方面培養DNA門徒生活
一方面又能保護隱私 !

I've been thinking...praying...
I feel God is leading me to this direction
Turn this blog into a place where
disciples share DNA living anonymously

幾天來的思考..禱告尋求...
我覺得主在引導一個方向...
把這個園地變成一個讓
門徒以匿名的方式見證DNA生活的園地...

How to do it? I am still seeking...
Some technical problems...
(If you are an internet expert... please help)
to talk to peoples... collect testimony...
Please be patient... Coming Soon!
Hallelujah!
如何作? 我還在尋求....
如何解決一些網路技術的問題
(如果你是網路高手...請幫幫我)
如何跟人分享...收集見證...
敬請期待...忍耐中有恩慈+良善...
哈利路亞 !!!

Need God's Wisdom需要神智慧

As a pastor, there is a constant struggle in me...
how much "DNA" I should share in this blog?
DNA is about life and relationship with God... with 1 or 2 disciples... and with non-believers.
It's personal... actually too personal to put it on internet
作為一個牧師...我一直有一個掙扎...
我可以分享多少DNA在這blog裡面?
DNA是我自己與神+門徒夥伴(1-2位)+非基督徒的關係
說實在的...這是蠻私人的...


DNA must be real....
real life involves personal ..relational struggle...
many times involves my own family...
But it would not be valuable if it's not real...
DNA 需要真實...
真實就會牽涉到掙扎...牽涉到關係...家人...
不真實就沒有價值...

On the other hand,
Being too real also drive people away...
especially in Chinese "face " culture...
但如果太真實...又會使許多人不敢踏入...
特別是面對華人的"面子文化"...

"Oh God... I need your wisdom..."
I cried out to the Lord...
主啊 ! 我需要祢的智慧...
我向主呼求...

I feel that God wants me to stop for a while...
to think over this issue...
and I believe God will give me wisdom....
我覺得神似乎要我停一下...
重新思考....相信祂會給我智慧 !

God Reminds Again 神又提醒

Last night elders and pastors had long meeting...
In the middle... we seemed to had fun... but
in the end I think I felt a little bit frustrated....
This morning while waiting upon the Lord,
many thing flew over my mind....
especially about last night...
And God reminded me again....
昨晚有個很長的牧長會議...
中間似乎還蠻有意思...
但我想到最後我的表達有點挫折感
今晨親近主時思緒有點亂...
特別因昨晚的會議....
突然間神第二次提醒我...

Didn't I say "kindness and goodnessin the process of patience...."? (last Thursday)
我不是說過"忍耐中有恩慈良善"嗎 ?

Oh Lord! You are good....
I know that...
but I can't do it...
主啊 ! 祢真是厲害...
我知道...可是我作不到...

That's why you need me... Remember...
it's a fruit of the Holy Spirit....
not of your patience.... your own patience will accumulate frustration...anger... and then acts out.....
but my fruit of patience has kindness ...goodness
這就是你需要我的原因...記得...
"這忍耐"是聖靈的果子...從聖靈來....
不是從你自己而來....
你的忍耐只會堆積挫折...不平...
但我的忍耐中有恩慈良善...

Yes Lord... Thank You for your Patience...
Oh Lord... Give me Your kind....
是的主...感謝"祢的忍耐"...
將"祢"的忍耐賜給我 !

Just Do It 就去作

宣教年會結束了,
一句話一直縈繞在腦子中...
Just Do It.... 就去作...
Mission Conference ended yesterday.
One phrase keeps ringing in my mind ....
Just Do It....

禱告中...一個意念....
為病人禱告...
好像有幅圖書...
禮拜堂前面旁邊牆壁擺了些椅子...
有人在為背痛的禱告...
先測試他們是否有長短腳...
以權柄吩咐他們的腳長出來...
While praying... one thought...
Pray for the sick...
and it looks like a picture...
there are some chairs in the sanctuary,
Some people are praying for people with back pain...
They examine their legs first...
then command the leg to grow....

是的...主... 為病人禱告
好多人都已經受過訓練...
領受過恩賜的按手...分賜...
現在...要給他們實際操練...
Just Do it... 就去作... 哈利路亞 !
Yes... Lord! Praying for the sick...
So many peoples already are trained...
So many peoples receives impartation...
Now.... Just let them Do it...
Just Do it.... Hallelujah!

宣教年會Mission Conference

在整個宣教年會中,
神一次又一次的提醒...
在這個教會中...
講太多...作太少...
講太多...示範太少...見證太少...
Last 2 days in Mission Conference,
God reminds me again and again...
in this church...
Talk too much... Do too little...
Proclamation too much...
Demonstration too little....

是的 !主! 幫助我,
早點閉嘴...Just Do it...
Yes! Lord! Ｈelp me...
Shut up earlier... Just Do it!

忍耐中有恩慈Kindness in Patience

有一次主告訴我...
為什麼聖靈的果子是 愛...喜樂...
因為當你談"戀愛"(愛)時,
不管你面對什麼難題...
就是天塌下來, 你仍然很快樂(喜樂)...
然後你的心終於有"安息"(平安)
Once the Lord showed me...
why the fruit of the Holy Spirit is...
Love... Joy...Peace
Because when you fall in "Love"...
no matter what happens...
you are happy--- you have "Joy"!
And your heart finally found "peace"

今晨親近主時, 神又告訴我...
為何聖靈的果子是...忍耐...恩慈...良善...
This morning in my quiet time with God...
He showed me again...
when the fruit of the Spirit is
Patience... Kindness... Goodness...

因為"忍耐"中有"恩慈"不是從人來的...
人的忍耐持續不久...很快就會發脾氣...
然後會作些"不恩慈...沒有良善"的事...
但從聖靈來的忍耐卻是不同...
忍耐中有恩慈憐憫...
忍耐中能做出"良善"的事...
Because "kindness" in "patience" is not human nature...
human's patience doesn't last long...
soon or later anger follows...
then you will do something that is not kind and good...
But Patience from the Spirit is different...
There is Kindness... Goodness...
in the process of Patience...

我突然間明白這陣子以來的自己...
為何好像沒有那麼喜樂平安...
甚至跟兒子吵架...
對教會屬靈光景有點灰心...
因為在自己的忍耐中
會失去耐性...會發作...
I suddenly understand where I am...
how come not having much "joy...peace"...
why I even fought with my son...
why I feel frustrated about church situation...
because my own patience is not real patience...
anger and frustration follows...

突然間我也明白何為神的"長痛"...
祂對我是如此"不輕易發怒"....
I also feel what God's "long-suffering" means...
How He is "slow to anger" to me... to many....

主啊! 我需要祢的忍耐...
聖靈啊...我需要祢!
所以我可以在恆久忍耐中...
有恩慈...有良善...
Oh Lord, I need that...
I need Your Patience...
so that I can have Kindness and Goodness
in this long-suffering process....

主的審判Judgment of the Lord

昨晚一位姐妹講到主對她說..
"妳所要的我都給妳了(孩子...恩賜...服事...),
我也要審判妳..."
她起先以為她聽錯了...
後來想起那五千兩...兩千兩...和一千兩的比喻
才相信這也是從神而來

今晨親近主時為此禱告...
主提醒我說...
不要怕審判...也不用怕講審判...
我的審判有兩種結果...
1. 你這又良善又忠心的僕人...可以進來享受...
2. 你這又惡又懶的僕人...丟到外面黑暗裡...
前者指的是善用主所給的才能
勇敢去作天國投資的人
後者指的是因懼怕而隱藏自己才能者...

我想到自己....想到許多弟兄姐妹...
其實在服事中....人人都會有懼怕...
就如基甸和那三百勇士...
他們並不是沒有懼怕...
而是願意回應主呼召...
跨過懼怕出來服事,
就看到神使用...神同在....

主啊 ! 難怪祢會對約書亞說,
"當剛強壯膽...不要懼怕...也不要驚惶...."
幫助我靠著祢的應許,
在祢的同在中....
跨越懼怕...爭戰得勝...
將來可以坦然面對祢的審判!

I AM for you 我是為了你

這兩天睡得好晚,
因為在作房子整修...好累...
早上試著安靜親近神,
但滿腦子的事情...
房子整修...兒子的頭髮...
宣教年會...教會40天禁食禱告...
有情天三月底台灣巡迴...
完全無法安靜下來...
I woke up late the last two days
because I did some house works...
very tired... this morning
when I tried to wait upon the Lord,
so many things flew over my head....
I found myself couldn't quiet down....
house works... my son's hairstyle...
mission conference... 40 days fast prayer...
Heaventunes' tour in the end of March....

我掙扎著想安靜...掙扎再掙扎....
突然間一個意念進來...
I struggled... tried to be still...
while struggling again and again...
suddenly came a spontaneous thought...

"Why not just pray for these things...
I am in all these things...and
I AM for you, not against you(these things)
為何不就為這些事禱告...
我都在這些事當中..
I AM for you, not against you...
我是為你的..不是敵對你(這些事)的..."

我順著這意念去禱告...
然後我感受到主濃厚甜蜜的同在...
哈利路亞 !
主真是"為我", 不是"拉扯我" !
I obeyed this thoughts...
and prayed those things...
I felt the sweet presence of the Lord...
Hallelujah! Indeed...
God is For me, not against me....

Let Go and Let God放手讓神

兒子前天理了個很奇怪的頭,
太太看了非常苦惱...
到現在我還沒有看到
(也許他故意躲著我)
跟太太禱告時神不斷地提醒我們...
My son cut a very weird hairstyle
My wife was very upset
and until now I havn't seen it yet...
(Maybe he is trying to avoid me)
While praying with Rachel,
God reminds us ....

放手交給我...
讓我來處理...
我愛他, 我正在他身上作工 !
Let go... and let me handle it...
I love him....
and I am doing something in him...

我記得我以前輔導會友的家庭...
遇到這種情形, 我也是如此勸父母...
let go and let God 放手交給神處理
但真沒想到會發生在自己的兒子身上
說實在的...真不容易 !
但...好吧! 我只有不斷地...真正地相信...
神啊 ! 我知道祢的刀正在修剪...
(這個禮拜體會很深...)
一方面修剪我...
但主啊 ! 祢一定一定也會修剪他的...
I remember I used to advise other parent the same way when that happened...
Let go and let God....
Yet... it's another story when that happens to my own family...
I can only keep persuading myself...
Trust God...God is up to something...
His knife (Monday's post)... is doing something..
on me... but please God...
Do something on him too....

主啊....995 (救救我) 哈利路亞!!!
Oh God... HELP!!! Hallelujah!!!

One Drop of Tear 一滴眼淚

While waiting upon the Lord,
out of nowhere came one drop of tear!
one drop only... weird.... and
I was just trying to focus on the Lord...
I wasn't thinking of anything or anyone...
Why Lord? I asked...
清晨親近主時...突然間莫名其妙地...
一滴眼淚流下來...奇怪的是...當時
我只是試著注目於天父...
我根本沒想著其他事或人...
我問主, "主啊 ! 為什麼?"

No answer... No word in the beginning...
only in my mind feeling a sense of
" a little bit of holy sadness"
about my family... church...
and one word came --- pray!
主沒有回答...沒有話語...
只有一種"少許地...神聖的憂傷 "
然後一個字出現於心中---禱告!

Yes Lord... I need to be alert and pray!
I have been too busy and tired...
jetlag from London trip + too many meetings...
Fighting with my son...
worrying about him lack of spiritual hunger...
40 days fast and prayer... mission conference...
church atmosphere seems to be also lack of that...
是的...主! 我需要儆醒禱告...
這陣子有點太累...
倫敦回來後時差+忙著開會...
昨天與兒子吵架...
憂心他缺乏屬靈的渴慕...
教會中普遍的風氣好像也是如此...
40天禁食禱告...宣教年會推動...
都不怎麼熱絡 !

Pray pray pray....Lord, arise your people...
禱告禱告禱告...主啊 !興起祢的百姓 !

Father's Love 為父之愛

I had a fight with one of my son!
I was mad at him for not having spiritual hunger.
I said something that shouldn't be said...
I did something that shouldn't be done...
and I was mad at other people relalted to him... especially myself....
我與我的兒子之一吵了一架...
我生氣...因為他對屬靈的之事太漠不關心
我說了不該說的話...作了不該作的事 !
我甚至生他週邊相關的人的氣 !

I couldn't even pray... just so frustrated.
But of course I still talked to God....
asking why?
And God revealed to me.... reminding...
我氣得不能禱告....非常地挫折感
但當然, 我心中還是跟主對話....
問祂...為什麼?
主提醒我....

Feel My love(yesterday's post)....
understand that I don't comdemn you....
even at this incident...
I have expectation on you...
I work on you, but no "pushy"...
Why don't you write down 2 things
1.your expectation on him....
2. where you think he is now...
then pray for the difference... and
let me work with you together on him...
in a no pushy way....
感受那為父的愛吧(昨日的分享)!
我的無奈...我的心意...
更要了解....甚至在這事上,
我都不定你的罪 !
我對你有期待...我正在運行動工...
但我不強迫你 !
所以....你可以寫下這兩樣...
1. 你對他的期望...
2. 你覺得他現在的光景...
然後, 為之間的差異來禱告...
讓我們一起來作工...在他身上....
沒有強迫的 !

Father, thank You....
even though You are sad because
very often I lack of spiritual hunger...
yet You are so patient... so kind...
Your knife(Monday's post) is gentle...
I am willing to receive Your "trimming"...
Please work on me... and work with me
in dealing with my own son.
父啊! 我感謝祢... 雖然很多時候
祢也為我缺乏屬靈饑渴而傷心...
但祢卻是如此耐心...恩慈...
連祢的刀都是如此溫柔(週一的分享)
我願意接受祢的"修剪"...
求祢在我身上動"刀"...
也跟我一起來面對...
在我自己的兒子身上動工!

愛我的天父Father Loves Me

這兩天心中一直響著這首歌
"有位愛我的天父"...
(Hillsongs -約書亞專輯-"聽我的呼求"
http://mymedia.yam.com/m/1529464)
One song keep ringing in my heart these 2 days...
"There Is A Father Who Loves Me"
(http://mymedia.yam.com/m/1529464)

清晨親近主時又唱著這首歌...
唱著唱著...心中充滿著幸福...唱著唱著...
突然心中一陣感動..踴動...衝動...
好想更多更多地去愛太太...
愛孩子...愛兄弟姐妹...
This morning in my quiet time,
I sang this song over and over again...
I felt really warm in my heart....
And suddenly.... a wave of love flew from within...
to love my wife more... to love kids more...
to love brothers and sisters more.... more....

天父, 何等感謝祢無比的愛...
也感謝祢賜給我祢的愛...去愛人....等
Father, Thank you for such wondrous love...
and thank you for giving me that love to love others....

拿著小刀small knife

今晨好幸福...睡到自然醒...
並沒有努力地想等候神...親近主...
只是很自然地跟主說說話...聊聊天...
沒想到...主給了我一句寶貴的話...
This morning I feel so good... sleep a lot....
wake up naturally...
no special effort to waiting upon the Lord...
no special effort to "hear God's voice"...
only talk to God... kind of "chat with God"...
then came a precious word from the Lord!

當你願意讓耶和華軍隊的元帥拿著刀
除掉你生命中的不聖潔時,
你就ready 成為耶和華軍隊的元帥...
拿著小刀(主拿大刀)...對付仇敵..
斬斷綑綁....
When you are ready to face My Knife...
(Joshua 5 --- see yesterday's post)
to let Me take away your "unholiness"
Then you are ready to take a small knife...
you are ready to be in My army....
to cut off the bondage from the enemy...
to set the captive free...

Hallelujah!!! 哈利路亞....

耶和華軍隊的元帥The commander of the LORD's Army

Joshua was looking at Jerico
before the battle,
and to his surprise he saw Someone...
standing with a knife.... He asked him,
" are you helping us or helping them?"
And to his surprise He said,
"neither... I come to be the commander
of the Lord's army. ..." (Joshua 5)
爭戰前約書亞察看耶利哥的地形..
不料他看到一個人, 手裡有拔出來的刀...
他說他不是來幫助任何一方的...
而是來作"耶和華軍隊元帥的"!

When I meditated on this passage,
I felt God asked me of this question,
"What is My knife for?"
當我默想這經文,
我覺得主在問我一個問題...
"我的刀是作什麼用的? "

"Of course, to kill the enemy...."
I replied...
當然是用來擊殺仇敵的...我回答

"Who is My enemy?" asked the Lord,
"那麼誰是我的仇敵?" 主問我

Evil... sins.... I said,
邪惡...罪....我回答

Mmmmm..... suddenly I got it....
when the Lord said, "Neither...I come to be
the commander of the Lord's army"
He is saying,
"I come to kill my enemy...
no matter you are in Jerico or in Israel's camp,
whenever there is evil... sin...
I am going to kill "it"!
突然間我懂了...當主說,
我不是來幫助你們或他們...
而是來做耶和華軍隊的元帥"時
祂是在說,
不管你是在耶利哥城外或城內,
只要是有罪惡的地方, 我都要對付的 !

I recalled the years of my ministry
I saw.... the Lord's knife...
took away my anger... my fear.... anxiety...
my inconsideration... my inner accusation....
my legalistic mentality.. my pride.... my......
Oh... what wondrous love...
Even Your "Knife" is so Kind...
Your Knife is an "inner surgercal knife"
that takes away my sins...
我回想我服事主的這些年日....
我彷彿看到"主的刀"...
割掉了我的脾氣...我的不體貼...
我的懼怕...憂慮... 我裡面的自責控告....
我的律法主義心態...我的驕傲...我的......
主啊...何等的愛...
甚至連"你的刀"都是溫柔的....
好像一把"內在生命的手術刀..."
割除我生命中的罪!!!

Lord.... Thanks You... Praise You!!!
主啊 !讚美祢...感謝祢 !

Living Word,Living God活道真神

I was meditating on bed...
praying on bed...
for family...for church...
for preaching gospel...
I cried out to the Lord,
Lord.... breakthrough...
we need breakthrough
and then suddenly these words came...
在床上我默想...
在床上我禱告...
為家人...為教會...為福音...
我呼求主....主啊 !突破突破...
忽然心中湧出這句話...

I am the Living Word, Living God....
Please... tell my people...
Do not "fix me down"....
I am Powerful because I am "Living"...
I move... I relate...because I am Living...
我是活的道...真的神...
告訴我的百姓...
拜託拜託...不要把我固定下來...
我大有權能因為我是活的真神...
我運行...我互動...因為我是活的...

I thought of that commandment-
"You shall not make for yourself an idol
in the form of anything..."
Yes... Lord, You are Living...
I confess... I repent... myself...and
on behalf of church... so many time
we "fix" you down in the "form"---
worship service...structure... procedure...
in our mind... in our words... in our fear...
Oh Lord, forgive me... forgive us....
我想到十誡中...不可雕刻偶像....
主啊 ! 我承認...我悔改...
為我自己..也代表教會...
多少時候我們把你限制...固定在型式中~
禮拜...結構...過程...在我們心中...話語中...
特別是在我們的懼怕中...
主啊 !赦免我們!

Then a melody came...
I went to the keyboard,
playing....worshipping...
in free style worship....
for 30 minutes....only these words...
"Living Word, Living God....
How I love You... How I love You...."
然後一個旋律動機從心中湧起...
我打開琴...彈奏...敬拜...自由敬拜...
約半個小時...僅僅幾個字...
"活的道...真的神...
何等愛祢...何等愛祢..."

需要您的代禱Need Your Prayer

從倫敦服事回來, 就逢各種開會...
總會...數代連結大會...區牧靈修會...
主提醒我要邀請代禱者為此禱告...
Coming back from London,
Right away attending so many meetings....
GA... Bridging Conference...
Regional pastor retreat...
God reminds me to call intercessors to pray...

特別是在區牧靈修會中,
我要分享"牧者自我成長與調適"
主要我分享自己DNA生活操練...
幫助牧者們能進入安息的生活與服事中 !
Pray specially for regional pastor retreat,
I need to lead a session about "healthy growing pastor"
I feel that God wants me to share about DNA lifestyle
to help pastors to entering God's rest in life and ministry.

今晨主再一次提醒我這經節-
"不可少的只有一件"--- 在主腳前安靜
不管我們多累..多忙...作多大的事工...
還是這經節-不可少的只有這一件 !
Today the Lord again reminds me of this
Just like Mary sitting before Jesus
"Only one thing is needed"---
No matter how tiring.. how busy...
how big ministry that we do ...
"Only one thing is needed"!

因為主曾說...
"沒有領受的付出是從人來的"...
從人來, 走不遠...
從人來, 是累人的---自己累, 別人也累 !
主從來不要求我們去父出祂未曾供應我們的 !
如此服事才能進入主的安息...
God once said this...
"Giving without receiving first is not from God"
We give because God provides first....
He will never ask me to give without His provision.
Serving with this principle, then we can have peace.

禱告勇士們, 請代禱...
我需要代禱...
眾牧者需要代禱...
牧者健康, 教會才會健康 !
主阿 ! 救命 ! Help!
Intercessors, please intercede...
I need prayers...
Pastors need prayers...
to have healthy church,
pastor need to be healthy first...
Oh...Lord! Help!!!!

Home, Sweet Home回家真好

出外服事十天, 昨晚平安回到家...真好 !
作完主的工...真好 !
(歇了工, 有進入神安息的感覺!)
當然...抱抱孩子...真好!
睡自己的床...真好!
Home! Sweet Home!
Coming back from 10 days trip to London,
feeling "mission accomplished"...
feeling "entering into God's rest"
Of course, hugging kids... my own bed...
Soooooo..... Gooooooooood!

回顧這趟旅行服事...我問主...
"好"在那裡? 主提醒三點...
Looking back to this trip, I asked the Lord,
what's good about it.....
God reminded me 3 things.....

1. 你看, 許多學生在恩典中得"釋放自由"...
(學生大都是保守背景, 常被宗教律法壓抑!)
主說, "你那裡都要傳[恩典]的福音!"
Look... many students were set free...
(Most students come from conservative background...
very oppressed by "law" of the church...)　
and God said,
"Wherever you go... preach "Good News"！

2. 要鼓勵妻子們多多與先生同行 !
搭地鐵去上課, 走在倫敦街上...
師母會自動牽著我的手...那感覺真好 !
(在美國大家各自開自己的車...
各走各的路, 牽手機會不多!)
Need to encourage "couple ministry"...
While taking subway,
walking on the street of London...
Rachel hold my hand "naturally"...
It feels really Good! (in US, we...
drive our own cars, walk our own way
... less opportunity to hold hands"

3. 與一宣教士夫婦一起生活一週,
看他們夫婦節衣縮食...過簡僕生活...
(連到垃圾都要從中心帶回家...
Wow...另人佩服 ! )
Living with a missionary couple for 1 week,
seeing their simple lifestyle,I feel ...
How luxery is our lives in US...
(They took trash from office back to home....
in order to save money!)

是的 !　回家真好 !
有家庭的溫暖...還有
有做完工那種滿足的安息!
有事奉中的學習!
有說不盡的感恩 !
Yes... Sweet Home...
Warm hugs... warm bed...and
Feeling "fulfilling" in doing God's will...
Learning in serving...
Giving thanks and praise
from our heart to our God!

印證Confirmation

週二與一位知名大牧師談論DNA lifesyle...church...
那天有點匆促, 只談了個概念...
沒想到隔天這牧師就打電話來,
希望深入了解...
我問主說, 主啊 ! 我知道這不是偶然的...
祢要說什麼 ? 對我... 對那牧師....
主說,
Tuesday I talked with a very famous pastor about DNA lifestyle and church....
We were kind of rush because of time....
so I only shared with that pastor briefly...
But that pastor called the next day....
hope to know more about the detail...
I asked God, "dear Lord, I know this is not by accident...
what do you want to say to me and to that pastor?
And God says....

"為你是印證...為那牧師是國度..."
For you it's comfirmation...
For that pastor is about Kingdom

主啊 ! 謝謝祢...
祢知道我有時還會有顧忌... 甚至懷疑...
因為許多時候我跟一些牧者分享
他們大都有許多負面的顧忌....
我覺得祢藉著這牧師的肯定在告訴我....
"不要再猶豫...只要
放手去作我要你作的!!!
Oh Lord! Thank you...
you know sometimes I am still wondering...
Is this from you?
Many time I share with other pastors....
Many have negative feeling about this...
But through this pastor,
I feel that you are saying this to me...
"Don't be afraid... Don't hesitate...
Go ahead and do what I want you to do!"

主啊 !求祢帶領今天我們第二次的分享....
給我印證...
幫助我們今天的分享有"神國度的價值"
Oh Lord, guide us today for the sharing...
Give me Your confirmation....
and lead our conversation...
to have Kingdom value -beneficial to Your Kingdom!

感謝耶穌Thank You, Jesus

讀完利未記那些細節煩瑣的"潔淨"的條例,
心中說不出的感恩...
主耶穌, 因為有祢...
如今我們不用再守這些煩瑣的條例...
Read over the detailed rules in Leviticus
about "cleansing",
my heart was filled with praise and thanksgiving.
Oh Lord! Jesus, because of you....
I don't need to follow that step by step....

然而神也提醒我...
這些條例仍有它的價值與功效...
昨晚在一間空房子的牆壁上看到"鬼魔"的圖畫
一方面看到時很不舒服...
一方面回到家後"火氣"就莫名其妙地起來
我趕緊呼求主....奉主的名求耶穌寶血潔淨 !
才恢復平靜....
But God also reminded me...
these rules have it's value and reasons...
Last night I saw an evil picture on the wall of a house,
I felt very uncomfortable when I saw that..
and how weird...somehow I felt angry when I got home...
I called up the name of Jesus,
asked His blood to cleanse me....
and then I had peace again....

主啊 ! 因著祢一次獻上...
我如今不用再獻那些牲畜(how blooded)...
只要隋時獻上自己....活在祢的保護中...
更隨時靠著祢的寶血...得以潔淨...
哈利路亞 ! 信耶穌真正好 !
Oh Lord! Because You sacrificed Youself once for all...
I now don't need to offer the animal sacrifice(how blooded)...
I only need to offer myself.... to live under your protection!
And I can always be cleansed by Your precious blood...
Hallelujah! My Lord, Jesus.... You are so Goooooood....
