He is able even to subdue all things to Himself. — Philippians 3:21
Scripture reading: Matthew 4:16–25
I have come across several mental cases. How difficult they are naturally, but how easy for God to deal with. One lady came saying, “Just over the way there is a young man terribly afflicted, with no rest day or night.” I went with a very imperfect knowledge as to what I had to do, but in the weak places, God helps our infirmities. I rebuked the demon in the name of Jesus, and then I said, “I‘ll come again tomorrow.” The next day when I went, he was quite well and with his father in the field.
Fifty miles away, there was a fine young man, twenty-five years of age. He had lost his reason, could have no communication with his mother, and was always wandering up and down. I knew God was waiting to bless. I cast out the demon power and heard later that he had become quite well.
Thus the blessed Holy Spirit takes us on from one place to another. So many things happen; I live in heaven on earth. Do not wait for inspiration if you are in need; the Holy Spirit is available, and you can have perfect deliverance.
I was taken to three persons, one in the care of an attendant. As I entered the room, there was a terrible din and quarreling. It was such a noise it seemed as if all the powers of hell were stirred. I had to wait for God‘s time. The Holy Spirit rose in me at the right time, and the three were delivered. That night, they were singing praises to God.
Christ is the same today. When He reigns in you, you know how to obey and how to work in conjunction with His will, His power, His light, and His life. When we have faith based on knowledge, we know He has come. “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you” (Acts 1:8). God is with the person who dares to stand upon His Word.
Thought for today: How bountiful God is when we depend on Him! He gives us enough to spare for others.
战胜困难境况

他甚至能够把万有都服在自己脚下。——腓立比书 3:21
圣经朗读:马太福音 4:16-25
我遇到过几位精神病患者。他们本性上多么难以应付,但对于上帝来说却是多么容易处理。有一位女士来说:“就在那边有一个年轻人受苦严重,日夜不得安宁。”我带着对自己应该做什么的非常有限的了解前往,但在软弱的地方,上帝帮助我们的无力。我奉耶稣的名斥责了那邪灵,然后我说:“我明天会再来。”第二天当我去的时候,他已经完全好了,并且和他的父亲在田里。
五十英里之外,有一个二十五岁的好青年。他失去了理智,无法与母亲交流,总是上下游荡。我知道上帝正等待赐福。我驱除了恶魔的力量,后来听说他已经完全康复。
因此,受祝福的圣灵将我们从一个地方带到另一个地方。发生了许多事情;我在地上生活在天堂。如果你有需要,不要等待灵感;圣灵是可用的,你可以得到完全的解脱。
我被带到三个人面前,其中一个由看护照料。当我走进房间时,里面一片喧嚣和争吵。噪声之大,似乎地狱的所有势力都被唤起。我必须等待上帝的时机。圣灵在适当的时候在我内心升起,这三个人都得到了释放。那天晚上,他们在向上帝唱赞美歌。
基督今天仍然是一样的。当他在你里面掌权时,你就知道如何顺从,以及如何与他的旨意、他的能力、他的光明和他的生命协作。当我们的信心建立在知识上时,我们就知道他已经来了。“圣灵降临在你们身上,你们就必得着能力”(使徒行传 1:8)。上帝与那些敢于立足于他话语的人同在。
今日思考:当我们依靠上帝时,上帝是多么的丰盛!祂赐给我们足够的东西,也能分给别人。
