Yet Not I 不再是我

2:20 我已經與基督同釘十字架,現在活著的不再是我,乃是基督在我裡面活著;並且我如今在肉身活著,是因信神的兒子而活;他是愛我,為我捨己。–加拉太2:20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. — Gal 2:20

詩集:有情天詩集 02 – 我聽見石頭在唱歌,34
經文:加拉太書二20 曲、詞:陳逸豪
不再是我,如今不再是我,乃是耶穌基督在我裡面而活,
祂是愛我,為我捨己,祂是愛我,甘願為我捨己,
祂是愛我,為我捨己,祂是愛我,十架為我捨己,
不再是我,如今不再是我,乃是耶穌基督在我裡面而活。

Grace upon Grace

13 Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small cake of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. 14 For this is what the LORD, [...]

Dear All:
9. You will waste your cancer if you treat sin as casually as before.
Are your besetting sins as attractive as they were before you had cancer? If so you are wasting your cancer. Cancer is designed to destroy the appetite for sin. Pride, greed, lust, hatred, unforgiveness, impatience, laziness, procrastination—all these are the adversaries [...]

Offer it up

Dear All:
“My theme is oblation — the offering up of ourselves, all we are, have, do, and suffer. Sacrifice means something received and something offered.” “God know your heart and will accept your offering in any way you can make. It is to kneel with open hands before the Lord. Be silent for a few [...]

曠野中的筵席 一 烏鴉餐
1 King 17:1-7

靜默的筵席: 神帶領以利亞從曠野中

一. 認識自己的軟弱
二. 認識神的權能
三. 建立新的生命力
學習讓神成為我們生命的必需品,以至成為屬靈筵席。

前言: 五月花 vs 花粉過敏 , 筵席與曠野

主題: 只聽神的話,只靠神的話而活。
學習讓神的話語成為我們生命的必需品,以至成為屬靈筵席
公開服事: 不禱告,就不下雨。
帶領全國上下進入曠野的考驗,挑戰巴力偶像的屬靈權柄。
生命的預備: 以利亞公開與君王巴力對峙之後,當頭棒喝。
神知道以利亞還沒有完全預備好,去面對正式的決戰。
一. 神給以利亞從曠野中認識自己的軟弱—
a. 驕傲: 我為神大發熱心。(19:10) 覺得自己的熱心甚至大過神的熱心,信不過神的旨意。
b. 膽怯: 懼怕人過於敬畏神: 後來果然以利亞被耶洗別威嚇而逃命。(19:1-3) 信不過神的保護。
c. 孤單: 只剩我一個人,他們還要索命。(19:10) 信不過神的同在。
例證: 雜音蓋過原音,MP3, BOSE + 汽車內音響。
應用: 曠野中的靜默,激發了我們內心中最深的飢渴—渴慕神,
漸漸取代了其他次要的肉體飢渴,看清了真正滿足的泉源。
這次曠野中的靜默筵席,雖然沒有避免以利亞後來的失敗,
但是在後來以利亞的復興中,相信烏鴉在他生命中有不能磨滅的恩典記號。

渴慕神 (A Hunger for God) 作者:約翰 派博(John Piper) 寫這 本書的目的和禱告,是希望喚醒一種對神為了所有人的喜樂而在凡事上居首位活」的飢渴,禁食證實了這飢渴的存在,並火上加油地使人更佳飢渴。它是我們靈命追 求的強化劑,它也是一個忠心的僕役,幫助我們脫離那些無害事物的致命束縛。基督徒禁食的根源來自一種渴慕神的思鄉之情。基督徒禁食故事的一半是:當我們對 神的渴想極為強烈的時候,我們會失去了肉身的胃口。故事的另一半則是:強烈的屬肉體的食慾也會威脅到我們對神的渴慕。前一部分,我們失去了食慾;後一部 分,我們要抵制食慾。前一半說的是我們屈服在一種更崇高的饑渴,後一半說的是,我們為了更崇高的饑渴而與另一種饑渴奮爭。基督徒禁食不只是一個由於對神的 超然滿足而自然流露的結果,它更是一個特選的武器,可以用來對付所有能奪去我們從神得到滿足的力量。
如 果你不是那麼強烈地渴求神的榮耀被彰顯,並不是因為你已經渴得很多並十分滿足了,反而是因為你在世界的筵席上滋滋品味太久了。你的靈魂被許多微小的事物充 滿,以至沒有空間容納那更偉大的。這不是神創照造我們的目的,我們每一個人的心中都有對神的飢渴,而且都可以被喚醒。作者邀請你轉身遠離食物那使人麻木的 作用,和拜偶像的危險,在禁食的時候獻上這句簡短的禱告:「神啊!我如此需要你!」

二. 神給以利亞從曠野中認識神的權能
