Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” — John 6:29
Scripture reading: Luke 9:1–11
I remember a person who had not been able to smell anything for four years. I said, “You will smell now if you believe.” She went about smelling everything and was quite excited. The next day she gave her testimony.
Another came and asked, “Is it possible for God to heal my ears?” The eardrums had been removed. I said, “Only believe.” She went down into the audience in great distress; others were healed, but she could not hear. The next night she came again. She said, “I am going to believe tonight.” The glory fell. The first time she came feeling; the second time she came believing.
At one place, there was a man anointed with oil for a rupture. He came the next night and rose in the meeting saying, “This man is an impostor. He is deceiving the people. He told me last night I was healed; I am worse than ever today.” I spoke to the evil power that held the man and rebuked it, telling the man he was indeed healed. He was a stonemason. The next day, he testified to lifting heavy weights and that God had met him. “By His stripes we are healed.…And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all” (Isaiah53:5–6). He was against the Word of God, not me.
“‘What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?‟ Jesus answered and said to them, ‘This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent’” (John 6:28–29). Anything else? Yes. He took our infirmities and healed all our diseases. I myself am a marvel of healing. If I fail to glorify God, the stones will cry out. (See Luke 19:37–40.) Salvation is for all. Healing is for all. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is for all.
Consider yourselves dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God (Romans 6:11). By His grace you will get the victory every time. It is possible to live a holy life.
Thought for today: The Holy Spirit has the latest news from the Godhead and has designed for us the right place at the right time.

耶稣回答说：‘这是神的工作，就是你们信祂所差来的那一位。’——约翰福音 6:29
圣经阅读：路加福音 9:1–11
我记得有一个人已经四年闻不到任何东西。我说：“如果你相信，你现在就会闻到。”她开始闻各种东西，非常兴奋。第二天，她作了见证。
另一个人走过来问，‘上帝能治愈我的耳朵吗？’她的耳膜已经被摘除。我说，‘只要相信。’她满怀焦虑地走进人群；其他人都得到了医治，但她还是听不见。第二天晚上她又来了。她说，‘今晚我要相信。’荣耀降临了。她第一次来是凭感觉；第二次来是凭信心。
在一个地方，有一个男人因疝气而受膏。他第二天晚上来到会中站起来说：“这个人是骗子。他在欺骗人们。他昨晚告诉我我已经痊愈；今天我比以往更严重。”我对附在这个人身上的邪恶力量说话并斥责它，同时告诉这个男人他确实已经痊愈。他是一名石匠。第二天，他作证说自己能举起沉重的物体，并且神已经与他相遇。“因他受的鞭伤，我们得了医治……耶和华使我们众人的罪孽都归在他身上”（以赛亚书53:5–6）。他反对的是神的话语，而不是我。
‘我们当作什么，才能行 神的工呢？’耶稣回答说：‘信 神所差来的那一位，这就是 神的工。’（约翰福音 6:28–29）还有别的吗？有。他担当了我们的软弱，医治了我们一切的疾病。我自己就是医治的奇迹。如果我未能荣耀 神，石头也要呼喊。（见路加福音 19:37–40）救恩是给所有人的。医治是给所有人的。圣灵的洗也是给所有人的。
要算自己向罪已经死了，却向神活着（罗马书 6:11）。靠着他的恩典，你每次都能得胜。过圣洁的生活是可能的。
今日的思考：圣灵掌握着来自神的最新信息，并为我们设计了在恰当时间出现在恰当的地方。
