这杯是用我的血所立的新约。你们每逢喝的时候，要如此行，为的是纪念我。——哥林多前书 11:25

经文阅读：路加福音 22:7–39

没有哪一种敬拜服务能像参与主的晚餐——圣餐——那样令我感到美妙。我真希望每次聚会时，圣徒们都能聚集在一起，纪念基督的死、祂的复活和升天。多么美好的思想啊，是耶稣自己为我们设立了这荣耀的纪念。哦，愿上帝让我们明白这应当“经常”举行，而非每周，每月或每季度，而是“每当我们纪念”时。知道祂除去了我们的罪，这是一种多么福气的纪念啊。

我确信每一个基督徒都非常渴望为耶稣做一些事情，而祂希望我们做的，是常常纪念十字架、坟墓、复活和升天；这四件事的记忆总会带领我们进入大大的祝福之中。然而，你不需要持续活在十字架上，甚至不需要持续记住十字架，但你需要记住的是十字架上那一句话：“成了”（约翰福音 19:30）。你也不需要活在坟墓里，只需要记住“祂已经复活了”（马太福音 28:6），并且我们将与祂一同坐在荣耀里（歌罗西书 3:4）。

主的晚餐的设立是圣经中其中一个场景，是我们主耶稣基督历史中的一个时刻，当时基督荣耀的奥秘正在被揭示。当大师在世行走时，众人怀着热切和渴望的心聚集，要听从他恩典的嘴唇中流出的言语。但也有那些错过异象的人。他们看见了基督，听见了他说的话，但那些美妙的话语对他们来说就像无关紧要的故事。

当我们错过异象，未能进入圣灵事工的丰盛时，这是有原因的。亲爱的，我们内心有一种死寂，必须经历复活的触摸。今天我们有了揭开的真理，因为圣灵的管治时代已经来临，要显明救赎的丰盛，以便我们能够披戴能力。使我们能够进入神倾注祝福的状态的是谦卑的心灵和痛悔的心（诗篇 51:17）。我们需要审视自己，看看我们处于什么状态，是仅仅有宗教行为，还是确实在基督里。

当人的灵与圣灵完全联合时，它只有一个归宿，那就是死亡，死亡，更深的死亡。在这个境地中，人的灵将不再渴望按自己的意愿行事，而心中的呼喊将不是“我的意愿”，而是“主啊，愿你的旨意在我身上成就。”

今日思考：耶稣为我们代求，使我们得以保持正确、圣洁、预备好、充满能力，并充满祂自己，好让我们将天堂的气息带给世上的需要。

If you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. — Matthew 5:23–24

Scripture reading: Matthew 5:13–26

When I was in Switzerland, the Lord was graciously working and healing many of the people. I was staying with Brother Reuss of Goldiwil, and two policemen were sent to arrest me. The charge was that I was healing the people without a license. Mr. Reuss said to them, “I am sorry that he is not here just now; he is holding a meeting about two miles away, but before you arrest him I would like to show you something.”

Brother Reuss took these two policemen down to one of the lower parts of that district, to a house with which they were familiar, for they had often gone to that place to arrest a certain woman who was constantly an inmate of the prison because of continually being engaged in drunken brawls. He took them to this woman and said to them, “This is one of the many cases of blessing that have come through the ministry of the man you have come to arrest. This woman came to our meeting in a drunken condition. Her body was broken, for she was ruptured in two places. While she was drunk, the evangelist laid his hands on her and asked God to heal her and deliver her.”

The woman joined in, “Yes, and God saved me, and I have not tasted a drop of liquor since.”

The policemen had a warrant for my arrest, but they said with disgust, “Let the doctors do this kind of thing.” They turned and went away, and that was the last we heard from them.

We have a Jesus who heals the brokenhearted, who lets the captives go free (Isaiah 61:1), who saves the very worst. Do you dare spurn this glorious Gospel of God for spirit, soul, and body? Do you dare spurn this grace? I realize that this full Gospel has in great measure been hidden, this Gospel that brings liberty, this Gospel that brings souls out of bondage, this Gospel that brings perfect health to the body, this Gospel of entire salvation. Listen again to the words of Him who left heaven to bring us this great salvation: “Assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed’…he will have whatever he says” (Mark 11:23). Whatever he says!

I realize that God can never bless us when we are being hardhearted, critical, or unforgiving. These things will hinder faith quicker than anything. I remember being at a meeting where there were some people waiting for the baptism and seeking to be cleansed, for the moment a person is cleansed the Spirit will fall. There was one man with red eyes who was weeping bitterly. He said to me, “I will have to leave. It is no good my staying unless I change things. I have written a letter to my brother-in-law and filled it with hard words, and this thing must first be straightened out.” He went home and told his wife, “I‘m going to write a letter to your brother and ask him to forgive me for writing to him the way I did.”

“You fool!” she said.

“Never mind,” he replied, “this thing is between God and me, and it has got to be cleared away.” He wrote the letter, came again to the meeting, and immediately God filled him with the Spirit.

I believe a great many people want to be healed, but they are harboring things in their hearts that are like a blight. Let these things go. Forgive, and the Lord will forgive you. There are many good people, people who mean well, but they have no power to do anything for God. Some little thing came in their hearts years ago, and their faith has been paralyzed ever since. Bring everything to the light. God will sweep it all away if you will let Him. Let the precious blood of Christ cleanse you from all sin. If you will only believe, God will meet you and bring into your lives the sunshine of His love.

Thought for today: Always be in tune with God, and then the music will come out as sweetly as possible.

你献上礼物到坛前的时候，若在那里想起你的弟兄对你有怨，就把礼物留在坛前，先去与弟兄和好，然后来献礼物。——马太福音 5:23-24

经文阅读：马太福音 5:13–26

当我在瑞士时，主恩典地工作并医治了许多人。我住在戈尔迪维尔的鲁斯弟兄家里，有两名警察被派来逮捕我。指控是我在没有执照的情况下医治人们。鲁斯先生对他们说：“很抱歉，他现在不在这里；他在大约两英里外开会，但在你们逮捕他之前，我想先给你们看点东西。”

鲁斯兄弟带着这两名警察下到该区的一个下层地段，去了一所他们熟悉的房子，因为他们经常到那儿去抓一个女人，这个女人因不断参与醉酒争斗而经常入狱。他们找到了这个女人，鲁斯兄弟对他们说：“这是你们来逮捕的人通过事工所带来的许多祝福案例之一。这个女人曾在醉酒状态下来到我们的聚会。她的身体受伤严重，因为她有两处破裂。在她醉酒的时候，这位传道士按手在她身上，并祈求上帝医治她、拯救她。”

那女人也加入了说：“是的，上帝救了我，从那时起我一滴酒都没喝过。”

警察有逮捕我的令状，但他们满脸厌恶地说：“让医生来做这种事情吧。”他们转身离开了，这是我们最后一次听到他们的消息。

我们有一位耶稣，医治伤心的人，使被囚的人得自由（以赛亚书 61:1），拯救最糟糕的人。你敢轻视这荣耀的神的福音，为了灵、魂和身体吗？你敢轻视这恩典吗？我明白，这完整的福音在很大程度上一直被隐藏，这福音带来自由，这福音将灵魂从捆锁中释放，这福音带来身体的完全健康，这全然的救赎福音。请再次聆听那位离开天堂为我们带来这一伟大救恩的主说的话：“我实在告诉你们，无论谁对这座山说：‘你挪开……’，他所说的，必定成就”（马可福音 11:23）。他所说的一定成就！

我意识到，当我们心硬、爱批评或不宽恕时，上帝是永远不会祝福我们的。这些事情比任何事都更快阻碍信心。我记得有一次在一个聚会中，有些人正在等待洗礼并渴望被洁净，当一个人被洁净的那一刻，圣灵就会降临。有一个男人红着眼睛在痛哭。他对我说：“我得离开。如果我不改变一些事情，我留下来也没有用。我给我的小舅子写了一封信，信里满是苛刻的话，这件事必须先解决。” 他回到家对妻子说：“我要给你哥哥写封信，请他原谅我之前写信给他时的态度。”

“你这个傻瓜！”她说道。

“没关系，”他回答道，“这件事是我和上帝之间的事，必须得解决掉。”他写了信，又来参加聚会，立刻上帝就用圣灵充满了他。

我相信很多人都希望得到医治，但他们心中怀有一些像枯萎的东西。放下这些东西吧。原谅，他就会原谅你。有许多好人，他们意图良好，但却没有力量为上帝做任何事。多年前有些小事情进入了他们的心中，从那时起，他们的信心就已瘫痪。把一切带到光明中。如果你允许，上帝会一扫而空。让基督宝血洗净你的一切罪。如果你肯相信，上帝会与你相会，把他爱的阳光带入你的生命中。

今日感悟：永远与上帝保持和谐，那么音乐就会尽可能甜美地流露出来。

Whoever…does not doubt in his heart,but believes…, he will have whatever he says. — Mark 11:23

Scripture reading: James 1:2–15

Imagine a young man and woman who have fallen in love. In a short while, there is a strong love for each other. What is a heart of love? It is a heart of faith. Faith and love are kin. In the measure that the young man and young woman love one another, they are true. One may go North and the other South, but because of their love, they will be faithful to one another.

It is the same when there is a deep love toward the Lord Jesus Christ. In this new life into which God has brought us, Paul told us that we “have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that [we] may be married to another; to Him who was raised from the dead” (Romans 7:4). God brings us into a place of perfect love and perfect faith. A person who is born of God is brought into a loyalty to the Lord Jesus that shrinks from anything impure. You see the purity of a man and woman when there is a deep natural affection between them; they disdain the very thought of either of them being untrue. In the same way, in the measure that a person has faith in Jesus, he is pure.

We cannot doubt in our hearts. As we read His Word and believe the promises that He has so graciously given to us, we are made partakers of His very essence and life. The Lord is made a Bridegroom to us, and we are His bride. His words to us are spirit and life (John 6:63), transforming us and changing us, expelling what is natural and bringing in what is divine.

It is impossible to comprehend the love of God as we think in human terms. We must have a revelation from the Spirit of God. It was the love of God that brought Jesus, and it is this same love that helps you and me to believe. God will be your strength in every weakness. You who need His touch, remember that He loves you. If you are helpless or sick, look to the God of all grace, whose very essence is love, who delights to give liberally all life and strength and power that you need.

Thought for today: As we have heart fellowship with our Lord, our faith cannot be daunted.

爱无怀疑

1月28日

凡人心里不怀疑、只信的人，无论祈求什么，必得着。 — 马可福音 11:23

经文阅读：雅各书 1:2–15

想象一对男女，他们已经坠入爱河。不久之后，他们彼此之间产生了深厚的爱。什么是爱的心？那是一颗信仰的心。信仰与爱是亲密的。在年轻男子和年轻女子彼此相爱的程度上，他们是真诚的。一个人可能向北走，另一个向南走，但因为他们的爱，他们会对彼此忠诚。

当对主耶稣基督有深沉的爱时也是如此。在神带我们进入的这新生命中，使徒保罗告诉我们：“我们借着基督的身体，向律法已经死了，好叫我们归于另外一位，就是那从死里复活的”（罗马书 7:4）。神将我们带入一个完全的爱和完全的信心之中。那位从神而生的人，会被带到对主耶稣的忠诚中，远离一切污秽的事。当男女之间有深厚的自然感情时，你可以看到他们的纯洁；他们鄙视彼此不忠的念头。同样地，在一个人对耶稣有信心的程度上，他也是纯洁的。

我们内心不能怀疑。当我们阅读他的话语并相信他如此恩典地赐给我们的应许时，我们就成为了他本质和生命的参与者。主成为我们的新郎，而我们是他的新娘。他对我们的话是灵，是生命（约翰福音 6:63），变化我们、改变我们，驱逐自然的东西，引入神圣的东西。

用人类的思维方式是无法理解上帝的爱的。我们必须从上帝的灵那里获得启示。正是上帝的爱带来了耶稣，而正是同样的爱帮助你我相信。上帝将在你每一个软弱的时候成为你的力量。你需要祂的触摸时，记住祂爱你。如果你无助或生病，请仰望万恩之神，祂的本质就是爱，并且喜悦慷慨地赐予你所需要的生命、力量和能力。

今日思考：当我们与主有心灵的交通时，我们的信心无法被动摇。

Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” — Mark 9:23

Scripture reading: Mark 9:1–29

We have a wonderful God, a God whose ways are “past finding out” (Romans 11:33) and whose grace and power are limitless.

I was in Belfast one day and saw one of the brothers of the assembly. He said to me, “Wigglesworth, I am troubled. I have had a good deal of sorrow during the past five months. I had a woman in my church who could always pray the blessing of heaven down on our meetings. She is an old woman, but her presence is always an inspiration. Five months ago she fell and broke her leg. The doctors put it into a cast, but when they removed the cast, the bones were not properly set, and she fell and broke the leg again.”

He took me to her house, and there was a woman lying in a bed on the right-hand side of the room. I said to her, “Well, what about it now?”

She said, “They have sent me home incurable. The doctors say that I am so old that my bones won‘t knit. There is no strength in my bones. They could not do anything for me, and they say I will have to lie in bed for the rest of my life.”

I said to her, “Can you believe God?”

She replied, “Yes, ever since I heard that you had come to Belfast, my faith has been quickened. If you will pray, I will believe. I know there is no power on earth that can make the bones of my leg knit, but I know that nothing impossible with God.”

I said, “Do you believe He will meet you now?”

She answered, “I do.”

It is grand to see people believe God. God knew all about this leg and that it was broken in two places. I said to the woman, “When I pray, something will happen.”

Her husband was sitting there; he had been in his chair for four years and could not walk a step. He called out, “I don‘t believe. I won‘t believe. You will never get me to believe.”

I said, “All right,” and laid my hands on his wife in the name of the Lord Jesus.

The moment hands were laid upon her, she cried out, “I‘m healed.”

I said, “I‘m not going to assist you to rise. God will do it all.” She arose and walked up and down the room, praising God.

The old man was amazed at what had happened to his wife, and he cried out, “Make me walk, make me walk.”

I said to him, “You old sinner, repent.”

He cried out, “Lord, You know I believe.”

I don‘t think he meant what he said; anyhow the Lord was full of compassion. If He marked our sins, where would any of us be? If we will meet the conditions, God will always meet us if we believe all things are possible.

I laid my hands on him, and the power went right through the old man‘s body. For the first time in four years, those legs received power to carry his body. He walked up and down and in and out of the room. He said, “Oh, what great things God has done for us tonight!”

Did you believe before you were saved? So many people want to be saved, but they want to feel saved first. There never was a man who felt saved before he believed. God‘s plan is always the following: if you will believe, you will see the glory of God (John 11:40). I believe God wants to bring us all to a definite place of unswerving faith and confidence in Himself.

In our text from Mark, Jesus uses the illustration of a mountain. Why does He say a mountain? If faith can remove a mountain, it can remove anything. The plan of God is so marvelous that if you will only believe, all things are possible (Mark 9:23).

Thought for today: Desire God, and you will have desires from God.

以信心伸出援手

1月27日

耶稣对他说：“你若能信，在信的人，凡事都能。” — 马可福音 9:23

经文阅读：马可福音 9:1–29

我们有一位奇妙的神，一位道路“无法测度”（罗马书 11:33）、恩典与能力无限的神。

有一天我在贝尔法斯特，看到会众中的一位弟兄。他对我说：“威格尔斯沃思，我很苦恼。过去五个月里我经历了不少 sorrow（悲伤/困扰）。我教会里有一个女人，总是能为我们的聚会祈求天上的祝福。她年纪大了，但她的存在总能带来鼓舞。五个月前她摔倒，摔断了腿。医生给她打了石膏，但当他们拆掉石膏时，骨头没有正确地愈合，她又摔倒，再次摔断了腿。”

他带我去了她的家，房间右侧的床上躺着一位女性。我对她说：“那么，现在怎么样呢？”

她说：“他们已经把我送回家，认为无药可救。医生说我年纪太大，骨头无法愈合。我的骨头没有力气。他们无能为力，而且说我必须躺在床上度过余生。”

我对她说：“你能相信上帝吗？”

她回答说：“是的，自从我听说你来到了贝尔法斯特，我的信心就被激发了。如果你祈祷，我就会相信。我知道世上没有任何力量能够让我的腿骨愈合，但我知道在上帝那里没有什么是不可能的。”

我说：“你相信他现在会来见你吗？”

她回答说：“我愿意。”

看到人们相信上帝真是太棒了。上帝早就知道这条腿，并且知道它断了两处。我对那位女士说：“当我祈祷时，会有事情发生。”

她的丈夫坐在那里；他已经在椅子上坐了四年，连一步路都走不了。他喊道：“我不相信。我不会相信。你永远也让我不相信。”

我说：“好吧，”然后奉主耶稣的名把手放在他妻子身上。

那一刻，当手放在她身上时，她喊道：“我被治愈了。”

我说：“我不会帮你起来，神会全权成就这一切。” 她站起来，在房间里走来走去，赞美神。

老人对妻子发生的事情感到惊讶，他喊道：“让我走，让我走。”

我对他说：“你这个老罪人，悔改吧。”

他喊道：“主啊，你知道我相信。”

我不认为他是认真的；无论如何，主充满了怜悯。如果他要记住我们的罪，我们中的任何人都会处于怎样的境地呢？如果我们愿意满足条件，只要我们相信一切皆有可能，上帝总会回应我们。

我把手按在他身上，力量直接流过了老人全身。四年来，他的双腿第一次获得了支撑身体的力量。他在房间里来回走动，又走进走出。他说：“哦，今晚上帝为我们做了多么伟大的事情啊！”

你在得救之前曾经相信吗？很多人想要得救，但他们希望先有得救的感觉。在相信之前，从来没有人感到自己得救。神的计划总是如下：如果你愿意相信，你就会看到神的荣耀（约翰福音 11:40）。我相信神希望将我们所有人带到一个对祂绝对坚定信心和信赖的明确境地。

在马可福音的经文中，耶稣用了山的比喻。为什么他说是山呢？如果信心能挪动一座山，它就能挪动任何东西。上帝的计划是如此奇妙，只要你相信，凡事都能成就（马可福音 9:23）。

今日思考：渴望上帝，你就会得到来自上帝的渴望。

January 26

Whoever says to this mountain, “Be removed and be cast into the sea,” and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. — Mark 11:23–24

Scripture reading: Mark 10:13–31

These are days when we need to have our faith strengthened, when we need to know God. God has designed that the just will live by faith (Romans 1:17), no matter how they may be fettered. I know that God‘s Word is sufficient. One word from Him can change a nation. His Word is ―from everlasting to everlasting” (Psalm 90:2). It is through the entrance of this everlasting Word, this incorruptible seed, that we are born again and come into this wonderful salvation. “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4). This is the food of faith. “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17).

Everywhere people are trying to discredit the Bible and remove its miracles. One preacher says, “Well, you know, Jesus arranged beforehand to have that colt tied where it was and for the men to say just what they did.” (See Matthew 21:2–3.) I tell you, God can arrange everything. He can plan for you, and when He plans for you, all is peace. All things are possible if you will believe.

Another preacher says, “It was an easy thing for Jesus to feed the people with five loaves. The loaves were so big in those days that it was a simple matter to cut them into a thousand pieces each.”(See John 6:5–13.) But he forgets that one little boy brought those five loaves all the way in his lunch basket. There is nothing impossible with God.

Thought for today: All the impossibility is with us when we measure God by the limitations of our unbelief.

神的话是可靠的

1月26日

凡人对这座山说：‘你挪开，投到海里去’，心里不疑惑，只信他所说的必成，就必给他成了。所以我告诉你们，你们祷告的时候，无论求什么，只要信是得着的，就必得着。——马可福音 11:23–24

经文阅读：马可福音 10:13–31

这是我们需要信心坚固的日子，这是我们需要认识上帝的日子。上帝已经安排了义人因信而得生（罗马书 1:17），无论他们可能受到怎样的束缚。我知道上帝的话语是足够的。他的一句话就能改变一个国家。他的话语是“从亘古到永远”（诗篇 90:2）。正是通过这永恒的话语，这不朽的种子的进入，我们才得以重生，并进入这奇妙的救恩。“人活着，不是单靠食物，而是靠上帝口中所出的一切话”（马太福音 4:4）。这是信心的食粮。“信心是从听道来的，听道是从基督的话来的”（罗马书 10:17）。

到处都有试图诋毁圣经和抹去其奇迹的人。有位传道人说：“你知道，耶稣事先安排好让那匹小驴绑在那个地方，并且让那些人说出他们所说的。”（见马太福音 21:2-3）我告诉你，上帝可以安排一切。他可以为你计划，当他为你计划时，一切都是平安的。如果你相信，万事皆有可能。

另一位传道人说：“耶稣用五个饼喂饱众人是件轻而易举的事。那时候的饼很大，把它们切成一千块每块都很简单。”（参见约翰福音6:5-13）但是他忘了，是一个小男孩把那五个饼全部带在他的午餐篮中。对于神，没有什么是不可能的。

今日思考：当我们用不信的限制来衡量上帝时，所有的不可能都与我们同在。

January 25

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. — Acts 2:4

Scripture reading: Acts 2:1–21

One night I was entrusted with a meeting, and I was guarding my position before God. I wanted approval from the Lord. I saw that God wants men full of the Holy Spirit, with divine ability, filled with life, a flaming fire. In the meeting a young man stood up. He was a pitiful object with a face full of sorrow. I said, “What is it, young man?”

He said he was unable to work, and he could scarcely walk. He said, “I am so helpless. I have tuberculosis and a weak heart, and my body is full of pain.”

I said, “I will pray for you.” I said to the people, “As I pray for this young man, you look at his face and see it change.”

As I prayed, his face changed. I said to him, “Go out, run a mile, and come back to the meeting.”

He came back and said, “I can now breathe freely.”

The meetings were continuing, and I missed him. After a few days, I saw him again in a meeting. I said, “Young man, tell the people what God has done for you.” “Oh,” he said, “I have been able to work and make money.”

Praise God, this wonderful stream of salvation never runs dry. You can take a drink; it is close to you. It is a river that is running deep, and there is plenty for all.

In a meeting, a man rose and said, “Will you touch me? I am in a terrible situation. I have a large family, but because of an accident in the pit, I have had no work for two years. I cannot open my hands.” I was full of sorrow for this poor man, and something happened that had never happened before. We are in the infancy of this wonderful outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and there is so much more for us. I put out my hand, and before my hands reached his, he was loosed and made perfectly free.

I see that Stephen, full of faith and of power, did great wonders and miracles among the people. This same Holy Spirit can fill you, too, and then right things will be accomplished. God will grant it. God is ready to touch and transform you right now.

Once a woman rose in the meeting asking for prayer. I prayed for her, and she was healed. She cried out, “It is a miracle! It is a miracle! It is a miracle!” That is what God wants to do for us all the time. As surely as we get free in the Holy Spirit, something will happen. Let us pursue the best things, and let God have His right-of-way.

May the Lord open our eyes to see Him and to know that He is deeply interested in all that concerns us. He is “touched with the feeling of our infirmities” (Hebrews 4:15 KJV).

All things are naked and open to the eyes of Him with whom we are connected (v. 13). He knows about that asthma. He knows about that rheumatism. He knows about that pain in the back, head, or feet. He wants to loose every captive and to set you free just as He has set me free. I hardly know that I have a body today. I am free from every human ailment, absolutely free. Christ has redeemed us. He has power over all the power of the Enemy and has worked out our great victory. Will you have it? It is yours; it is a perfect redemption.

It is God‘s desire to make us a new creation, with all the old things passed away and all things within us truly of God; to bring in a new, divine order, a perfect love and an unlimited faith. (See 2 Corinthians 5:17.) Will you accept God‘s plan for you? Redemption is free. Arise in the activity of faith, and God will heal you as you rise. Only believe, and receive in faith. Stephen, full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, did great signs and wonders (Acts 6:8). May God bless this passage and fill us full of His Holy Spirit. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, may He reveal Christ in us more and more.

The Spirit of God will always reveal the Lord Jesus Christ. Serve Him; love Him; be filled with Him. It is lovely to hear Him as He makes Himself known to us. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He is willing to fill us with the Holy Spirit and faith just as He filled Stephen.

Thought for today: We may be very ordinary, but God wants to make us extraordinary in the Holy Spirit.

圣灵的力量

1月25日

他们都被圣灵充满了。——使徒行传 2:4

圣经朗读：使徒行传 2:1–21

有一晚，我被委以主持一次聚会的任务，我在神面前守着我的位置。我渴望得到主的认可。我看到神想要的是充满圣灵、有神能力、充满生命、如烈火焚烧的人。在聚会中，有一位年轻人站了起来。他是一个可怜的人，脸上满是悲伤。我说：“怎么了，年轻人？”

他说他无法工作，几乎无法行走。他说：“我太无助了。我得了肺结核，心脏虚弱，浑身都是疼痛。”

我说：“我会为你祈祷。”我对人们说：“当我为这个年轻人祈祷时，你们看着他的脸，会看到它的变化。”

当我祈祷时，他的脸色变了。我对他说：“出去，跑一英里，然后回来参加会议。”

他回来说：“我现在可以自由呼吸了。”

会议一直在继续，我想念他。过了几天，我又在一次会议中见到他。我说：“年轻人，告诉大家上帝为你做了什么。” “哦，”他说，“我能够工作并赚钱。”

赞美上帝，这美妙的救恩之流永不枯竭。你可以饮用；它就在你身边。这是一条深流的河，人人都能汲取充足的水。

在一次会议上，一个男人站起来说：“你会摸我吗？我处境非常糟糕。我有一个大家庭，但由于坑里的事故，我已经两年没有工作了。我无法张开手。”我为这个可怜的男人充满了悲伤，然后发生了一件以前从未发生过的事情。我们正处在圣灵这奇妙倾注的初期阶段，还有更多的事等待着我们。我伸出手，还没等我的手摸到他，他就被释放了，并获得了完全的自由。

我看到斯蒂芬充满信心和力量，在民众中行了许多奇事和神迹。同样的圣灵也能充满你，那么正当的事就会发生。上帝会赐予它。上帝已经准备好现在就触摸并改变你。

有一次，一位女士在会议中起来请求祷告。我为她祷告，她得到了医治。她哭着喊道：“这是个奇迹！这是个奇迹！这是个奇迹！”这就是上帝希望一直为我们所做的。正如我们在圣灵里得自由一样，必定会有事情发生。让我们追求最好的事物，让上帝行他的正道。

愿主开启我们的眼睛来看见祂，并知道祂对关乎我们的所有事物都深感关心。祂“也曾受过我们的软弱”（希伯来书 4:15 KJV）。

万物在我们与之相连的那位眼中都是裸露和开阔的（13节）。他知道那种哮喘。他知道那种风湿。他知道那种背部、头部或脚的疼痛。他想释放所有被囚之人，使你自由，就像他已经使我自由一样。今天我几乎感觉不到自己还有一个身体。我摆脱了所有人的疾病，完全自由。基督已经赎回了我们。他掌控着敌人的一切权势，并已经为我们赢得了巨大胜利。你愿意拥有吗？它就是你的；这是完全的救赎。

上帝希望我们成为一个新造的人，所有旧事都过去，内里的一切都真正属于上帝；带来新的、神圣的秩序，完美的爱和无限的信心。（参见哥林多后书 5:17）你愿意接受上帝为你所定的计划吗？救赎是免费的。以信心的行动起来，上帝必在你起来的同时医治你。只要相信，并以信心接受。司提反满有信心和圣灵，行了大奇事和神迹（使徒行传 6:8）。愿上帝赐福这段经文，并将我们充满祂的圣灵。藉着圣灵的能力，愿祂在我们里面越来越显明基督。

神的灵将永远显明主耶稣基督。事奉祂；爱祂；被祂充满。当祂向我们显明自己时，听见祂是美好的。祂昨日、今日、一直到永远都是一样的（希伯来书 13:8）。祂愿意如同充满司提反一样，充满我们以圣灵和信心。

今日思考：我们可能非常普通，但神希望通过圣灵使我们变得非凡。

Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs. — Acts 6:8

Scripture reading: Luke 4:1–19

In the early days of the church, all who did the work of serving had to be full of the Holy Spirit. The greatest qualification for ministry is to be filled with the Spirit.

Stephen was a man “full of faith and the Holy Spirit” (Acts 6:5). God so manifested Himself in Stephen‘s body that he became an epistle of truth, known and read by all. He was full of faith! Such men never talk doubtfully. You never hear them say, “I wish it could be so,” or “If it is God‘s will.” They have no ifs; they know. You never hear them say, “Well, it is not always so.” They say, It is sure to be.” They laugh at impossibilities and cry, “It will be done!” They shout while the walls are up and when they come down. God has this faith for us in Christ. We must be careful that no unbelief and no wavering are found in us.

“Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people” (Acts 6:8). The Holy Spirit could do mighty things through him because he believed God, and God is with the man who dares to believe His Word. All things were possible because of the Holy Spirit‘s position in Stephen‘s body. Because Stephen was full of the Holy Spirit, God could fulfill His purposes through him. When a child of God is filled with the Holy Spirit, the Spirit “makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God” (Romans 8:27). He fills us with longings and desires until we are in a place of fervency like a glowing fire. When we do not know what to do, the Holy Spirit begins to work. When the Holy Spirit has liberty in the body, He conveys all prayers into the presence of God. Such prayers are always heard. Such praying is always answered; it is never bare of result. When we are praying in the Holy Spirit, faith is evident, and as a result the power of God can be manifested in our midst.

When some of the various synagogues arose to dispute with Stephen, “they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke” (Acts 6:10). When we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we will have wisdom.

Thought for today: A man full of faith hopes against hope.

司提反充满信心和能力，行了大奇事和神迹。—使徒行传 6:8

圣经朗读：路加福音 4:1–19

在教会的早期，所有从事服侍工作的人都必须充满圣灵。事奉的最大资格是充满圣灵。

斯蒂芬是一个“充满信心和圣灵”的人（使徒行传 6:5）。神在斯蒂芬的身体里如此显明自己，以至于他成为了一封真实的书信，被众人所知并阅读。他充满了信心！这样的人从不怀疑地说话。你永远不会听到他们说：“希望如此”，或者“如果这是神的旨意”。他们没有如果；他们知道。你也永远不会听到他们说：“好吧，事情并不总是这样。”他们说：“它一定会成就。”他们嘲笑不可能的事并喊道：“它会实现！”他们在墙还竖立时就在欢呼，到墙倒下时仍然欢呼。神在基督里为我们拥有这样的信心。我们必须小心，自己心中不要有怀疑和动摇。

“司提反充满信心和能力，在百姓中间行大奇迹和神迹”（使徒行传6：8）。圣灵能通过他行大能，因为他信神，而神与敢信祂话语的人同在。一切都可能，因为圣灵在司提反体内的位置。因为司提反充满了圣灵，上帝才能通过他完成祂的旨意。当神的儿女被圣灵充满时，圣灵“按神的旨意为圣徒代祷”（罗马书8：27）。他让我们充满渴望和渴望，直到我们处于一个炽热的地方，如同炽热的火焰。当我们不知道该做什么时，圣灵开始工作。当圣灵在身体中获得自由时，祂将所有祷告传达到神面前。这样的祈祷总是被听见。这样的祈祷总是得到回应;它从来没有结果。当我们在圣灵中祷告时，信心显而易见，因此神的能力可以在我们中间显现。

当一些各样的会堂起来与司提反辩论的时候，‘他们无法抵挡他所说的话中的智慧和灵’（使徒行传 6:10）。当我们被圣灵充满时，我们就会有智慧。

今日的思考：一个充满信念的人在绝望中仍抱有希望。

Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world. — Philippians 2:14–15

Scripture reading: James 1:16–27

I see many remarkable things in the life of Stephen. One thing moves me, and that is the truth that I must live by the power of the Spirit at all costs. God wants us to be like Stephen: “full of faith and the Holy Spirit” (Acts 6:5). You can never be the same again after you have received this wonderful baptism in the Holy Spirit. It is important that we should be full of wisdom and faith day by day and full of the Holy Spirit, acting by the power of the Holy Spirit. God has set us here in the last days, these days of apostasy, and wants us to be burning and shining lights in the midst of an indecent generation. God is longing for us to come into such a fruitful position as the children of God, with the marks of heaven upon us and with His divinity bursting through our humanity, that He can express Himself through our lips of clay. He can take clay lips and weak humanity and make an oracle for Himself of such things. He can take frail human nature and by His divine power make our bodies suitable to be His holy temple, washing our hearts whiter than snow.

Our Lord Jesus says, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth” (Matthew 28:18). He longs that we would be filled with faith and with the Holy Spirit, and He declares to us, “He who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father” (John 14:12). He has gone to the Father. He is in the place of power, and He exercises His power not only in heaven but also on earth, for He has all power on earth as well as in heaven. Hallelujah! What an open door to us if we will only believe Him!

The disciples were men after our standard as far as the flesh goes. God sent them forth, joined to the Lord and identified with Him. How diverse Peter, John, and Thomas were! Impulsive Peter was always ready to go forth without a stop. John, the beloved, leaned on the Master‘s breast (John 21:20). Thomas had a hard nature and defiant spirit: “Unless I…put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe” (John 20:25). What strange flesh! How peculiar they were! But the Master could mold them. There was no touch like His.

Under His touch, even stony-hearted Thomas believed. Oh, my God, how You have had to manage some of us! Have we not been strange and very peculiar? But when God‘s hand comes upon us, He can speak to us in such a way; He can give us a word or a look, and we are broken. Has He spoken to you? I thank God for His speaking. Behind all of His dealings, we see the love of God for us. He sees our bitter tears and our weeping night after night. There is none like Him. He knows; He forgives. We cannot forgive ourselves; we oftentimes would give the world to forget, but we cannot. The Devil won‘t let us forget. But God has forgiven and forgotten. Do you believe self or the Devil or God? Which are you going to believe? Believe God. I know the past is under the blood of Christ and that God has forgiven and forgotten, for when He forgives, He forgets. Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! We are baptized to believe and to receive.

Thought for today: It is not what we are that counts, but what we can be as He disciplines, chastens, and transforms us by His all skillful hands.

凡事都不要抱怨，也不要争辩，使你们无可指摘，纯洁无瑕，在这弯曲悖谬的世代中作神的儿女，你们在其中要像灯光照耀世界。——腓立比书 2:14–15

经文阅读：雅各书 1:16–27

我在斯蒂芬的生命中看到了许多非凡的事。有一件事感动了我，那就是我必须以圣灵的能力生活，不惜一切代价。上帝希望我们像斯蒂芬一样：“充满信心和圣灵”（使徒行传6:5）。在你接受了这奇妙的圣灵洗礼之后，你再也无法保持以前的样子。重要的是，我们每天都应该充满智慧和信心，充满圣灵，凭圣灵的能力行事。上帝在末世，就是这背道的日子里，把我们安置在这里，并希望我们在这败坏的一代中成为燃烧并发光的灯。上帝渴望我们进入那样丰盛的地位，成为神的儿女，身上带有天国的印记，并让祂的神性突破我们的人性，通过我们这泥土的嘴唇表达祂自己。祂能取泥土的嘴唇和软弱的人性，将其变为自己的神谕。祂能取脆弱的人性，并凭祂的神力，使我们的身体适合作为祂的圣殿，将我们的心洗得比雪还白。

我们的主耶稣说：“天上地下所有的权柄都赐给我了”（马太福音 28:18）。他渴望我们被信心和圣灵充满，他向我们宣告：“信我的人所做的事，他也要做，并且要做比这更大的事，因为我往父那里去！”（约翰福音 14:12）。他已经往父那里去了。他在权力的宝座上，他在天上施展权能，也在地上行使权能，因为他在地上与在天上一样拥有一切权力。哈利路亚！如果我们只要信他，这对我们而言是何等宽广的门啊！

在肉体方面，门徒是按我们的标准来看的人。上帝差遣他们出去，与主联合并与祂认同。彼得、约翰和多马是多么不同啊！冲动的彼得总是随时准备行动而不加停留。那蒙爱的约翰靠在主的胸膛上（约翰福音 21:20）。多马性格刚硬，心志逆反：“除非我…把手指放入钉痕里，把手放入祂的肋旁，我绝不信” （约翰福音 20:25）。多么奇异的肉体啊！他们是多么特殊啊！但主能够塑造他们。没有触摸能比得上祂的触摸。

即使是冷酷无情的托马斯也相信，在祂的触碰下。天哪，你真是得管教我们中的一些人！我们难道不是很奇怪、很奇怪吗？但当神的手降临在我们身上时，祂能这样对我们说话;他只要给我们一个话或一个眼神，我们就崩溃了。祂曾与你说话吗？我感谢上帝赐予祂的言语。在祂所有的作为背后，我们看到神对我们的爱。他夜复一夜地看到我们苦涩的泪水和哭泣。没有人能像他那样。他知道;他原谅了。我们无法原谅自己;我们常常愿意把整个世界都交给遗忘，但我们做不到。魔鬼不会让我们忘记。但上帝已经宽恕并遗忘了。你相信自己、魔鬼还是上帝？你会相信哪一个？相信上帝。我知道过去是在基督的宝血下，上帝已经宽恕并遗忘了，因为当祂宽恕时，他就是遗忘。赞美主！哈利路亚！我们受洗是为了信而受。

今日思考：重要的不是我们是什么，而是我们在祂用全能巧手管教、责罚和改变我们时能够成为什么。

Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. — Genesis 21:2

Scripture reading: Genesis 21:1–20

Right in that house where Isaac and Ishmael lived were the seed of promise and the seed of flesh. There was strife and trouble there, for Ishmael was teasing Isaac. You will find that there is nothing that is going to hold you except the Isaac life—the seed of Abraham. You will find that the flesh life will always have to be cast out. And Sarah said, “Cast out [Hagar] and her son” (Genesis 21:10). It was very hard to do, but it had to be done. You may say, “How hard!” Yes, but how long did it have to be? It had to be until submission came. There will always be jealousy and strife in your hearts and lives until flesh is destroyed, until God controls and rules in authority over the whole body. When His power reigns over you, you will find that your whole life is full of peace and joy.

Isaac grew up to be a fine young man, perhaps twenty years of age—we are not told—but then came another test. God said to Abraham, “Take your son Isaac, and offer him to Me upon the mount that I will show you.” (See Genesis 22:2.) Do you think that Abraham told anybody about that? No, I am sure he didn‘t. Isaac was near to his heart, and God said he had to offer him on the altar, and there he was—Isaac, the heart of his heart—and God said he was to be the seed of all living. What did he have to do but believe that, just as miraculously as Isaac came into the world, God could raise him even if he were slain? Did he tell Sarah about the thing? No, I am certain he did not, or else he would not have gotten away with that boy. There would have been such a trial in the home. I believe he kept it to himself. When God tells you a secret, don‘t tell anyone else. God will possibly tell you to go and lay hands on some sick one. Go, do it, and don‘t tell anyone.

I know that Satan does not know my thoughts; he only knows what I let out of my mouth. Sometimes he suggests thoughts in order to get to know my thoughts, but I can see that God can captivate my thoughts in such a way that they may be entirely for Him. When God rules in your heart, you will see that every thought is captive, that everything is brought into obedience and is brought into a place where you are in dominion because Christ is enthroned in your life (2 Corinthians 10:4–5). God reveals deep and special things to some people. Keep your counsel before God.

I see this: Abraham could offer Isaac. I believe that God wants me to tell you how so that you may know something about your trials. Some people think they are tried more than other people. Trials are used to purify you; it is the fiery furnace of affliction that God uses to get you in the place where He can use you. The person who has no trials and no difficulties is the person whom God does not dare allow Satan to touch because this person could not stand temptation. But Jesus will not allow any man to be tempted more than he is able to bear (1 Corinthians 10:13). Before Abraham offered Isaac, he was tried, and God knew he could do it. Before God puts you through the furnace of afflictions, He knows you will go through.

If you know you need the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and you know it is in the Scriptures, never rest until God gives it to you. If you know it is scriptural for you to be healed of every weakness, never rest until God makes the healing yours. If you know that the Scriptures teach holiness, purity, and divine likeness—overcoming under all conditions—never rest until you are an overcomer. If you know that men who have gone in and have seen the face of God have had the vision revealed and have had all the Scriptures made to be life in their lives, never rest until you come to it.

We must live in the fire. We must hate sin; we must love righteousness. We must live with God, for He says we have to be blameless and harmless amid the crooked positions of the world (Philippians 2:15). I look at you now, and I say God is able to confirm all I have been saying about trials and testings, which are the greatest blessings you can have.

What a redemption! What a baptism! What an anointing! It is ecstasies of delight beyond all expression for the soul to live and move in Him who is our being (Acts 17:28).

Thought for today: If you knew the value of trials, you would praise God for them more than for anything.

撒拉在亚伯拉罕年老的时候，为他怀了孕，生了一个儿子，这是神所应许他的时候。——创世记 21:2

圣经朗读：创世记 21:1–20

就在以撒和以实玛利居住的那所房子里，存在着应许的种子和属肉体的种子。那里有争斗和麻烦，因为以实玛利在戏弄以撒。你会发现，除了以撒的生命——亚伯拉罕的种子——没有什么能够保守你。你会发现，属肉体的生命总是必须被赶出去。撒拉说：“把〔夏甲〕和她的儿子赶出去吧”（创世纪21:10）。这非常难做到，但必须要做到。你可能会说，“多难啊！”是的，但必须多久？必须直到顺服降临。直到肉体被毁灭，直到神掌权并在整个身体中以权柄治理，你的心和生活中总会存在嫉妒和争斗。当祂的能力在你身上掌权时，你会发现你的整个生命充满了平安与喜乐。

以撒长大成人，成为一位出色的年轻人，也许二十岁——我们并不知道——但随后又来了一个考验。上帝对亚伯拉罕说：“你带着你的儿子以撒，去我所指示你的山上，把他献给我。”（参见创世记22:2）你认为亚伯拉罕会告诉别人这件事吗？不会，我敢肯定他没有。以撒是他心中的挚爱，而上帝说他必须在祭坛上献上以撒，而那就是以撒，他心中的至爱——上帝说他将成为万民的后裔。他能做的除了信相信，就像以撒奇迹般诞生一样，即使以撒被杀，上帝也能使他复活吗？他会把这件事告诉撒拉吗？不，我确信他没有，否则他就不可能把那个孩子带走。家里肯定会有一场考验。我相信他把这件事藏在心里。当上帝告诉你一个秘密时，不要告诉任何人。上帝可能会让你去按手在某个病人身上。去吧，去做，不要告诉任何人。

我知道撒旦不知道我的思想；他只知道我从口中说出的东西。有时他会暗示一些想法，以便了解我的思想，但我可以看到上帝可以以一种方式俘获我的思想，使它们完全属于祂。当上帝在你的心中掌权时，你会看到每一个思想都被俘获，一切都被带入顺服，并带入一个你拥有主权的位置，因为基督在你的生命中掌权（哥林多后书 10:4-5）。上帝会向一些人启示深奥而特别的事。要在上帝面前保守你的谋算。

我看到这个：亚伯拉罕可以献以撒。我相信上帝希望我告诉你如何做，这样你就可以了解你所经历的试炼。有些人认为他们遭受的试炼比其他人更多。试炼是用来净化你的；这是上帝用来把你带到可以使用你之地的困苦的烈火熔炉。没有试炼和困难的人，是上帝不敢让撒旦触碰的人，因为这个人无法承受诱惑。但是耶稣不会允许任何人被试探超过他所能承受的（哥林多前书 10:13）。在亚伯拉罕献以撒之前，他经历了试炼，上帝知道他能够做到。在上帝让你经历困苦的熔炉之前，他知道你会挺过去。

如果你知道自己需要圣灵的洗礼，并且知道这是圣经中所说的，绝不要停止追求，直到上帝赐给你。如果你知道按照圣经的教导你可以医治所有的软弱，绝不要停止，直到上帝让你得着医治。如果你知道圣经教导圣洁、纯洁和神的形像——在各种环境下都能得胜——绝不要停止，直到你成为得胜者。如果你知道那些亲身经历见过上帝面的人，他们的异象被揭示，所有的圣经在他们的生命中都成为生命，绝不要停止，直到你也得着这一切。

我们必须生活在火中。我们必须憎恶罪恶；我们必须喜爱公义。我们必须与神同住，因为他说我们必须在世上的弯曲环境中无可指摘、无可亏欠（腓立比书 2:15）。我现在看着你，我说神能够证实我所说的一切关于试炼和考验的话，这些是你能拥有的最大祝福。

多么大的救赎啊！多么大的洗礼啊！多么大的膏抹啊！对于灵魂来说，在那位我们存在的主（使徒行传 17:28）里生活并活动，是超越一切言语的喜悦狂喜。

今日思考：如果你了解试炼的价值，你会因为试炼而比任何事情都更赞美上帝。
