【Bible Study】Judges Chapter 4 - God Delivers the Enemy into Our Hands

2024-11-20 3,495 Judges

Good day, everyone. Let's delve into Judges Chapter 4. The preceding three chapters set the stage, and now the real case arrives. The theme of this chapter is "God Delivers the Enemy into Our Hands."

I. God Delivers the Israelites into the Hands of the Enemy

You must understand that the Israelites being handed over to the enemy was not the doing of others, but the act of God. There is a remarkable account in the Bible where a man named Balaam, a prophet of God, was asked by Balak, the king of Moab, to curse the Israelites.

Do you know how the Bible records it? The Bible records it so well. I admire Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. If you are like Abraham, you are extraordinary! For those who curse you will be cursed, and those who bless you will be blessed. What happened? You stand on God's side, you are God's friend. If someone curses you, God will curse them; if someone blesses you, God will bless them. Isn't it powerful to be like Abraham?

So, I often see some Christians foolishly saying, "Oh, have I been cursed by someone? Has someone cast a spell on me?" Do you all know what a spell is? It's when people use evil magic behind your back. This time, the Israelites were delivered into the hands of the enemy, why? Because they again did evil in the eyes of the Lord. Are these people foolish? Is their mind not working properly? Why offend God? Why insist on opposing God? It's truly strange.

I tell you, people who do not know God and His works, that is the greatest ignorance of their lives. I think, "Oh, why are the Israelites so foolish?" The reason is simple, the Israelites went back to living their own small lives, but they didn't know that living a small life would provoke God's anger. Many of you may not realize how much we do that harms ourselves, we think it's all justified.

This passage mentions that after Ehud died, the Israelites again did evil in the eyes of the Lord. Why mention Ehud's death? Because when Ehud was alive, he dared to demand that the Israelites keep and follow God's words. If they didn't, he would discipline them, really beat them, put those who didn't keep and follow God's words in prison, and then stone them to death. This Ehud was powerful!

So, I must tell you that the role of a leader in a group is still very significant. Do you know what Singapore was like before? Before Lee Kuan Yew governed Singapore, this place was chaotic, to the extent that secret societies were rampant. If you were a new immigrant to Singapore, what would you look for first? You would first look for clan associations, which were all gangs, essentially secret societies.

The government at that time was also very corrupt. I thought to myself, the government, the police system, and many other things were very corrupt, very dirty, and the underworld was rampant. But after Lee Kuan Yew became the leader of Singapore, he gradually eradicated all these things. Isn't that amazing? Very amazing. So the role of a leader in a country is very important.

I must tell you, if you are looking for a job, wouldn't you want to find a place with a future to work? Of course. If you are looking, don't just take any job. Don't just blindly look for work. You need to know the company and evaluate it. Many people work in a terrible company, stay there until they are in their fifties, and then don't know where to go.

When you write your resume, if you write a certain company, people will think, "How could you be at that company? You must not be talented." Remember, some companies can add luster to your resume, but some companies will make it shameful. So I think, the church is the same. If you are choosing a church, shouldn't you choose a blessed church? A blessed church must have a pastor who governs the church in a way that blesses the brothers and sisters. The logic is simple.

If you go to a church and the church still needs members to serve, there seems to be something wrong with that church, right? People turn around and say, "Come and pastor me." Wouldn't that be fatal? I know a pastor who asked the members of his church to pray for his many illnesses. Why? Because their members came to us. If he has so many illnesses, he should come directly to me, or directly inherit our Chinese Mingding Destiny theological system.

Because he is a pastor, he thinks it would be too embarrassing, so he secretly asks his members to pray for him. I think that's quite embarrassing. Why? Because he thinks face is so important. How can this church move forward? How can it move into God's will? As a result, God delivered him into the hands of the enemy. Brothers and sisters, I must be very careful. I cannot lead you to be delivered into the hands of the enemy, nor can I let myself end up being delivered into the hands of the enemy by God.

So after Ehud died, people were not managed, everyone did as they pleased, living their own small lives, you live your life, I live my life, everyone sweeps the snow from their own doorstep, and what happens? The snow is less. You sweep the snow from your house to my doorstep, and I will settle the score with you. As a result, just because of sweeping snow, the two families start fighting, oh my goodness! Even leading to deaths. What kind of minds are these? If it were managed well, would the people be like this? That's the problem.

In the end, they provoked God's anger, and what happened? God raised up an enemy to oppress the Israelites for twenty years. You fight with your neighbor, you are powerful. But there is a king named Jabin nearby, and this Jabin suddenly became powerful, I don't know why he became powerful, and he also found a very powerful general named Sisera, this general was also very famous at the time, and they oppressed the Israelites for twenty years. During the harvest season, Jabin and Sisera would come with their armies and collect from house to house, all the people's work was in vain.

Think about it, can you live a good life? If you can live a good life, we will all live our lives. But if you want to live your life, you will attract ghosts, and the ghosts will come to bully you, making you live a cursed life. Do you want to live that way? No. Are some people becoming paralyzed as they live? Are some people getting cerebral infarctions, lumbar problems, cervical problems? Some get stomach cancer, and some are in debt. Anyway, these things make people miserable. I don't need to tell you, don't you know what's going on with yourselves? Very clear.

II. God Raises Up the Enemy

I tell you, this enemy was Jabin, the king of Canaan, who had nine hundred iron chariots. How could he make iron chariots? How could he have such a developed economy? How could he have such a powerful general like Sisera? That was God's doing.

So everyone should be a little smarter. If God delivers you into the hands of a very powerful enemy, you will often be oppressed, and you may even feel miserable and see no chance of turning things around. The Israelites being delivered into the hands of the enemy is like many of our Christians being delivered into the hands of the devil. This illness, that illness, this problem, that problem, just when things get a little better, they get scammed again, just when things get a little better, they get sick again. Anyway, life is impossible.

How could this enemy be so prosperous? The Israelites were dumbfounded. The other day I heard a story about a couple. She opened a shoe store here, and her husband opened a shoe store there. She played hymns in her shoe store, but her husband didn't believe in the Lord. She thought that playing hymns would please God, but there were months when she couldn't sell a single pair of shoes and lost money every day.

As a result, the couple, one made money and the other lost money. Of course, this was her husband's arrangement, one did low-end and the other did high-end. But the problem was, she thought that playing hymns would bring blessings, but that's not the case. She often did evil in the eyes of the Lord. If someone walked by and you glared at them, aren't you just looking for trouble? You are playing hymns and still doing that, wouldn't that provoke God's anger? Provoking God's anger. So the shoes wouldn't sell. This sister has recently changed a little under our pastoral care, and it seems she sold five hundred dollars worth of shoes one day recently.

So I think you shouldn't be surprised that the enemy rises up. As for Jabin and Sisera, how could they be so prosperous? If you asked them, they wouldn't know either, they just inexplicably became strong. There is God's hand behind it. What does God want them to do by making them strong? To bully the Israelites, to discipline them, to rob them of their food, to rob them of their money. Some people say, "Why does God do this?" Well, if you do evil in the eyes of the Lord, God will raise up an enemy to attack you, bully you, and exploit you. Isn't that what you deserve?

So be careful when establishing a church. Why? You establish a church with God's name on it, but you do evil in the eyes of the Lord. I tell you, that will definitely be miserable, no need to even think about it. So I have a theory that God will either make you above all nations or make you below all nations. If you keep and follow God's words, God will bless you; if you don't keep and follow God's words, God will deliver you into the hands of the enemy.

If this logic enters our minds, what conclusion can you draw? Oh, I dare to offend anyone in this life, but I don't dare to offend God. Offending God is terrible. But the problem is, I find that many people dare not offend anyone, but they dare to offend God. I say, "What kind of courage is this?"

Those among us must listen carefully. You must be careful and never offend God. What does it mean not to offend God? Do what is right in the eyes of the Lord, and do not do what is evil in the eyes of the Lord. This is serious. Perhaps you will be oppressed for twenty years like the Israelites, living a life of misfortune.

Someone says, "I am already forty, I will wait until I am sixty to seek God." Then so be it, that is your fate. I often see people being cursed. After being cursed, they don't do what is right in the eyes of the Lord, and they don't know what they did to make God manifest His anger in this way. Someone gets cancer and still tells me, "An unprovoked curse will not come upon me." I say, "Yes, your curse is all for a reason." They don't know what they did until they die. How ignorant people are. Why do I teach everyone to read the Bible, to read it chapter by chapter? It is to let everyone know that this is how God works.

So these enemies are raised up, and they don't even know it themselves. The king of Canaan thinks, "Everything is going smoothly for me, I get whatever I want, the economy is so good. How do I have the high technology to build nine hundred iron chariots?" What were those nine hundred iron chariots in that era? They were the most advanced drones, the most advanced fighter jets, the most advanced missiles. If I release a few, let's see how you live. This is God raising up the enemy.

III. People Cry Out to God

The Israelites had to wait twenty years before crying out to God. Why didn't they figure it out in these twenty years? They were oppressed for twenty years, and a generation passed. They were fifty years old then, now they are seventy. People could live to seventy back then, they would have already passed away. People began to cry out to God. Sometimes I am particularly moved, and even now I am wondering, how many of us are living under a curse and can start crying out to God? Wouldn't it be better to cry out to God sooner and receive grace sooner? Wouldn't it be better to turn to God sooner?

When you see people being delivered into the hands of the enemy, see the enemy starting to prosper, and see yourself being bullied, you must understand. When the Israelites first fell into this situation, they didn't understand why it took twenty years. I tell you, because the Israelites initially thought, "I am fine, did I offend God? I just want to live my life."

Recently, I met an American who sometimes couldn't urinate, sometimes couldn't defecate, and couldn't walk. I took him to pray today, I took him to pray tomorrow. Later, some problems didn't completely improve, but there was progress. But when he woke up the next morning and looked at his legs, he started complaining, crying, and wanting to commit suicide. Then he started cursing God, scolding God. What kind of mind is this? While he was cursing God, I was still taking him to pray, and my efforts were in vain.

In these twenty years, the Israelites found that they had cursed God for twenty years, and the more they cursed, the more miserable their lives became. I can tell you, many people live in a very miserable situation. I have really met some friends who are like this, they hate God, and they don't know what they did wrong until they die. Fortunately, the Israelites endured for twenty years and finally began to wake up. Before, they had to argue with God, but they couldn't win. If they continued to curse God, they would be bullied for another twenty years.

The Israelites slowly began to ponder and realized that it wouldn't work. They suddenly remembered the era before Ehud. Wasn't there a person named Othniel? They remembered this. It is also possible that someone received a revelation and read Deuteronomy Chapter 28: Because you did not serve the Lord your God joyfully and willingly in the time of prosperity, therefore you will serve the enemies the Lord sends against you.

I asked the American's wife to take him to read Deuteronomy Chapter 28, perhaps he could understand: I didn't do this right, I didn't do that right, nothing was right. I tell you, the most foolish thing people do is not knowing to cry out to God, not knowing that God has abundant grace and mercy. The Israelites cursed for twenty years, and after twenty years they began to cry out to God, and God raised up a savior for them. How did they live in these twenty years? Some people didn't make it through, they didn't know until they died. So I encourage everyone to use their brains a little. I have met many brothers and sisters, and I don't dare to talk nonsense when I meet them. After I finish talking, they will not only curse God but also curse me.

After I came back, I told my colleagues, "Just watch, they will definitely be delivered into the hands of the enemy." I can only say it during Bible study, because you don't know who I am talking about, so you won't hate me. I secretly say behind their backs, "They will definitely be delivered into the hands of the enemy," perhaps they will realize it after listening to my Judges.

I am really moved, to what extent? When I meet some people, do you know what I talk about the most? When I am preparing to meet you, I am preparing what is in my mind, preparing what they care about. I am not stupid, just like when I go out to do sales, I have to know what the customer is thinking. I tell them what they want to hear, but few people know what they want to do when they meet me.

If they don't mention pastoring, don't mention loving God, don't mention fearing God, what they did wrong, what needs to be changed, and what needs to be improved, then I am actually very sad. If they don't mention it, I won't talk nonsense. I can't read "The Five Rings of Trust" in vain, I can't read books in vain.

I am thinking about what they want, but don't they think about what God wants? What do I want? What I want is for everyone to live a blessed life, but I am really speaking from the bottom of my heart, I often feel sad. Sooner or later, you will cry out to God; sooner or later, you will know that you are doing evil in the eyes of the Lord; sooner or later, you will find that your enemy is getting stronger and stronger; sooner or later, you will find that your wallet and your health are being swallowed up little by little. Then it depends on your fate.

If people reach that state and still don't know that they are doing evil in God's eyes, and still think they are doing well, they won't know until they die. When the ox-headed and horse-faced demons suddenly appear next to you, one on the left and one on the right, people will realize, "Oh, what's happening? God, why is this happening?" God is too lazy to pay attention to you. Moving? Moving.

IV. People Cry Out to God, and God Raises Up a Judge

This time, the judge was a woman. When people began to cry out to God, inexplicably, in a place, in the mountains of Ephraim, between Ramah and Bethel, a prophet named Deborah arose. People cry out to God, and God raises up a judge, named Deborah. How did she arise? We cannot really explain it, but we found that this person was very capable.

For example, two families quarrelled over land boundaries and trivial matters, sometimes even resulting in car accidents and deaths. These people came to Deborah to reason and ask her to make a judgment. I was wondering, what is the logic here? How did Deborah become a judge? Actually, I tell you, this is all God's work. Everyone said: Go to Deborah to hear the judgment, she will give you an absolutely fair judgment. As a result, the two families went.

In the mountains of Ephraim, between Ramah and Bethel, Deborah sat under a tree, without a house or a table, just Deborah, an old woman. I would say it was just an old woman sitting there, but God gave her wisdom. Once she made a judgment, everyone felt: Wow, amazing! As a result, her reputation spread throughout Israel, and the Israelites liked to listen to her. Why did they like to listen to her? Actually, it doesn't matter, who she is doesn't matter. God raised her up at this time, giving her courage and wisdom. Whether she is a woman or a man, it doesn't matter, because what God chooses is important.

Then I ask you, how did God choose Deborah? If you always say: Serving God is a chore. Do you think God can choose you? God cannot choose you. But how did God choose this Deborah? Because Deborah had reverence for God, sought God, and loved God in her heart. As a result, she suddenly became the boss among the Israelites. How did she become the boss? She had that drive in her bones.

Later, God raised up a helper named Barak. Deborah said: Go, find Barak. Barak came when he was called, he came as soon as he was called. Why was he so obedient? Because God was at work, it was all incredibly miraculous. If you are a person who pleases God, you will find that your boss likes you very much. So people, don't fill your minds with garbage, be people who please God.

Our brothers and sisters must know to do what is right in the eyes of the Lord. We studied the Book of Kings more than ten years ago, and I even wrote two books, "1 Kings" and "2 Kings," these two books are very good. Our study of the Book of Kings had the highest number of website clicks. If you search for Bible study on the Book of Kings on Google, ours is at the top, it is the best article. Why? Because it talks about doing what is right in the eyes of the Lord.

So if you want to do business, remember! If you do what is right in the eyes of the Lord, I ask you, in doing business, who can do better than you? No one can. Don't ever think that some people who seem very popular, those crooked ways they engage in, can they outdo our God? They cannot. Our God is very powerful, if God wants to raise you up, no enemy can stand before you.

If you are Joshua, no enemy can stand before you all your life. Did Joshua encounter opponents in his life? He did not. If you are David, David subdued all the surrounding countries. Amazing, isn't it? If you are David managing Israel, you can subdue the surrounding countries. If you are a businessman, your competitors cannot compete with you. So we must know how powerful our God is, our God is very powerful! The problem is whether we do what is right in the eyes of the Lord.

Later, when Barak called out, ten thousand people came. Isn't it strange? Ten thousand people were willing to sign up to be soldiers. Good people don't become soldiers, have you heard this saying? When it is said that you want to be a soldier, stay away. When it is said that you want to conscript, don't go. Especially during wartime, that is not a joke. I don't know if Barak was more powerful or Sisera was more powerful, but later it was found that Barak was more powerful than Sisera, because that Sisera had diarrhoea when he met Barak.

If conscription is now, and you are sent to the Ukrainian battlefield, would you want to go? That battlefield is very cruel, who wants to go? No one wants to go. So this matter is very miraculous, there are so many who are not afraid of death. How did an Deborah suddenly emerge from the Israelites? Then a Barak emerged, how did they all emerge? Later, a suicide squad of ten thousand people emerged, this matter is very interesting.

God wants to work, God wants to help you, God wants to raise you up, God will definitely raise up a group of people. I boldly make a prophecy, in this generation God will raise us up, why? Because I often say to do what is right in the eyes of the Lord! God will raise us up among us, God will make us a blessing to all the nations on this earth. How good is that! God will make us victorious, God will deliver the enemy into our hands. Then Sisera became diarrhoea.

I tell you, now is just the beginning, after so many years of accumulation, God has done so many miraculous things among us. In this generation, God's will has not yet been fully satisfied. Are you willing to be a person who satisfies God's will? If you are willing to be a person who satisfies God's will, I tell you, you are one of these ten thousand people, God will deliver the enemy into your hands. So I feel that we have a great opportunity, we want to be a blessing to the Americans, we want to be a blessing to the Europeans, we want to be a blessing to the Australians, we want to be a blessing to the Indochinese Peninsula, we want to be a blessing to Southeast Asia, and even in the future go to Africa, to be a blessing to the Africans.

Once when I was talking and chatting with brothers and sisters, I said: Do you know? I am now preparing, getting used to eating those beans that Europeans eat. Singapore has a dish called stinky beans, a very stinky bean. They said: Africans eat all kinds of beans, all kinds of fruits, all with strange tastes. Think about it, biting into a mouthful of peppercorns, biting into a mouthful of star anise, oh my goodness! That mouth is full of the taste of star anise. Those things that Africans eat, I will now start practicing with stinky beans, in the future I will have the opportunity to go there.

So our brothers and sisters must know that God is searching throughout the earth for people who love God. God finds them and treats them as treasures, wanting them to be raised up, to be above all the nations of the world, how wonderful! I tell you, wherever you go, God will deliver the enemy into your hands.

V. God Delivers the Enemy into Our Hands

Remember, we do not fight by our own strength, nor by our own wisdom, but by God. You know that Barak came to Deborah, and then asked her to go to war. Barak said: Deborah, you have to come with me, if you don't go, I won't go either. Why? Barak said: If I go to the front, I will be sending myself to death, facing those nine hundred iron chariots, you are at home eating and drinking, I think it's better to forget it. If we are going to die, let's die together. Let's both die in front of these ten thousand people first, and then this suicide squad of ten thousand people will follow us.

Barak asked Deborah to accompany him, but whether Deborah went or not was not important. The question is what? Deborah must go, because God is with Deborah. Remember, Barak is a very smart person, Barak is not lacking in faith, he knows very well that God is with Deborah, so he has to bring Deborah along, and then God will deliver the enemy into their hands. Actually, I tell you, if Deborah doesn't go, it doesn't matter, if God wants to deliver the enemy into your hands, then He will definitely deliver them into your hands. Barak brought those ten thousand people, but those ten thousand people are not important either.

Then I think Barak brought those ten thousand people to have a big meeting there, with flags waving in the wind. Only two tribes went, and these two tribes came with ten thousand people, no one said: Hey? What about the other ten tribes? No one said this. Why? Whoever goes gets grace! As a result, these ten thousand people came. Barak said: Are there any who are afraid of death? Those who are afraid of death stand on this side, those who are not afraid of death stand on that side, and as a result, no one was on that side, they all stood on this side. Why? Because it was too hard, they were bullied by Jabin.

Barak said: Do you have hatred for Jabin? Everyone said: Yes! Barak said: Do you want to fight? Everyone said: Yes! That's probably the meaning, charge! Charge! Barak and Deborah made a war mobilization, God will be with us. In ancient China, thirty coins were tossed, and everyone was told: If all the faces are facing up, then God will deliver the enemy into our hands. As a result, when they were poured out, all the faces were facing up, in fact, both sides are the same, that's the way it is.

So everyone must know that God delivers the enemy into our hands. Do you think Old Ma was defeated by me? No. It is because I do what is right in the eyes of the Lord. To be honest, I only have one thing in my heart, and that is to love God, I will hold on to my God tightly until I die. I tell you, it is God who delivered Old Ma into my hands, it is the Spirit of God who is in front of me, and then destroys my enemies. It has nothing to do with Deborah, nothing to do with Barak, nothing to do with those ten thousand people, it only has to do with God. We are just vessels in God's hands, we just rush up to do it, but in fact it is God who is in front of us, who has already delivered the enemy into our hands, so do not be afraid.

If you do healing and deliverance, do not be afraid. You only need to worry about one thing: Are you doing what is right in the eyes of the Lord? Then the enemy's iron chariots are useless, can iron chariots stop God? With those iron chariots, even if the Monkey King comes, he cannot stop God's army. The Monkey King cannot defeat them, iron chariots are even more useless, what are iron chariots? As a result, God defeated the enemy.

If you read carefully, the Lord routed Sisera and all his chariots and his entire army before Barak with the edge of the sword. Sisera got down from his chariot and fled on foot. Alas, this is very miserable. Why? How did God turn these iron chariots into scrap iron? It is difficult for us to imagine, it should be angels and heavenly soldiers, there to drop the wheels of the whole car, to make the motor unable to start, anyway, it was all smoky, all stuck there. You know what? The soldiers standing on that iron chariot were still wearing armor, they could not fight after getting off the chariot, they could only escape, and as a result, this Sisera really had diarrhoea and ran away. Who did that? It was not the Israelites who did it, but God who did it. It is God who defeats our enemies, it is God who is in front of us, fighting for us. The entire Bible is written like this, God through very miraculous works.

This place records that there was a descendant of Moses, that is, the Kenite Heber, the descendant of Moses' father-in-law, who left the Kenite tribe and lived near Kedesh, where he pitched his tent. You know what? Later there was a person named Jael, who is Jael? Jael is the wife of this Heber. Are you connected now? This Heber actually had a good relationship with Sisera and Jabin, and as a result, this Sisera finally fled to the tent of this Kenite Heber. Alas, he could not walk anymore, and he was still wearing heavy armor, thirsty and hungry, so he fled here. Now he finally saw a good friend, maybe he had come to Heber's house for tea or a drink before.

Jael quickly welcomed Sisera in and gave him milk to drink. Jael settled Sisera down, and he fell asleep. Then I ask you, does Jael have hatred for Sisera? Actually, there is no hatred, but how did she suddenly think of taking a tent peg and nailing him to death? Actually, I tell you, do Jael and Heber have a relationship with Israel? They do. Then why did he have a good relationship with Jabin and Sisera? Because Sisera was a local tyrant, they were just muddling through, Jael felt: Now that you have been defeated, God has made Israel victorious, I will also make a contribution. God made Jael think so. But some people? Instantly think crookedly, while some people instantly think straight. As a result, Jael took a tent peg and nailed Sisera to death.

You say that Sisera is resourceful, a bit like Guan Yu's defeat at Maicheng, Guan Yu was a famous general during the Three Kingdoms period. Sisera was a famous general in the era of Judges, in that era there were not many who could defeat Sisera. In that land of Israel, he may not be as good as Qin Qiong, but he can be compared to Shan Xiongxin. As a result, such a person was nailed to death by a woman's thought, that was God's work.

God through the enemy's friend, killed the enemy, God's work is too miraculous! If you are in a unit, in a company, you will find: Hey, how was this person killed by his good friend? If you are a person who pleases God, don't be idle and identify good and evil, don't be idle and cater to the flesh, and don't be idle and love money and love the world. When you are idle, love God, when you are idle, get to know God well, then you will be amazing!

Is the enemy delivered into our hands by God? Yes. I thank God! In the concept of Chinese Mingding Destiny, if you serve the Lord your God well, especially if you serve the Lord your God well after you are rich, and put Him in the first place in our lives. I tell you, God will definitely deliver your enemies into your hands. Those who oppressed you and bullied you in the past will now be trampled under your feet, you will be above all the nations of the world.

VI. God Made the Hand of the Israelites Grow Stronger

I ask you, did they train this themselves? No. They just have this kind of power. I thank God! I am still full of energy. One of our brothers, his mother came to me and said: Your pastor is really energetic. As a person's faith is, so is his strength. I hope that in the future, throughout your life, your hands will be strong, and you can defeat the most powerful enemies. God will make us strong, God will make us wise, God will make us prosperous financially. Do you believe it? I absolutely believe it! I believe that in the days to come we will be even more prosperous. Crisis is our opportunity, everyone must know that a global economic crisis is coming. Oh, that's great, the opportunity is coming.

Sometimes joking, after one of our group leaders left, the people below said: Wow, he finally left, my opportunity has come. I think this is a good saying, it really is his opportunity that has come. Now our opportunity has come, God will deliver the enemy into our hands. Jabin and Sisera will be trampled under our feet. Old Ma and the snake will be trampled under our feet.

I want to make a summary: In life, people must learn to rely on God, to please God, to know God, to fear God. I was wondering what kind of job is this job that I have? I have a job, alas, my boss is God. In my heart, I am racking my brains, thinking every day about what my boss wants? I must make my boss happy and let His will be satisfied.

Everyone must know that we are the Abraham of this generation, to fear God, to know Him, to live in God's grace throughout our lives. No matter what kind of enemy, as long as we are still alive, they cannot stand before us. Wow, it feels so good to think about it. That's not the most important thing, the most important thing is what God has chosen us to do in this generation? He wants us to be the Abraham of this generation, and all the nations on earth will be blessed because of us. I am still thinking, alas, so many years have passed, how come we have not yet become a blessing to all the nations on earth? Although I think so in my heart, I feel that in the time to come, we will see the unprecedented glory of God. Amen.

May God bless everyone!

大家好,我们来看《士师记》第四章,其实前面的三章都是在讲一个背景,现在这个真实的案例真的来了。这一章的主题是“神把仇敌交在我们手中”。 这事儿你得知道,以色列人被交在仇敌的手中,那不是别人的作为,而是神的作为。在《圣经》里头有一个非常神奇的记载,这个记载是啥呢?就是有一个人叫巴兰,他是神的先知,结果摩押王巴勒要请巴兰来咒诅以色列人。 你知道《圣经》里头怎么记载的吗?《圣经》里头记载的太好了。我喜欢效法亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各这些人,如果你是亚伯拉罕,你不得了啊!因为咒诅你的要受咒诅,祝福你的要蒙祝福。到底发生了什么事儿呢?就是你站在神这边儿了,你是神的朋友,如果有人咒诅你,神就咒诅他,有人祝福你,神就祝福他,你说做亚伯拉罕厉害不? 所以,我经常看到一些基督徒傻不拉几的说:哎呀,我是不是被什么人咒诅了?我是不是被什么人下了降头了?大家知道什么叫降头吗?就是人在后面搞一些邪术的东西。这一次以色列人被交在仇敌手中,为什么?因为他们又行耶和华眼中看为恶的事儿。你说这人是傻还是怎么地?脑子是不是不好使啊?为什么要得罪神呢?为什么非得跟神作对呢?真的很奇怪。 我跟你讲,人不认识神,不知道神的作为,这是人一生最大的愚昧。我就觉着:哎呀,这以色列人怎么这么傻呢?原因很简单,以色列人又去过小日子去了,但是他们不知道过小日子是会讨神愤怒的。大家可能都不知道我们做了多少危害自己的事儿,我们都觉得是天经地义的。

这个地方讲以笏死后,以色列人又行耶和华眼中看为恶的事。那为什么要提到以笏死后呢?因为以笏在的时候,他敢要求人,以色列人若不谨守遵行神的话,他就修理他们,真的揍他们,就把那些不谨守遵行神的话的人放到监牢里,然后拿石头打死。这个以笏厉害啊! 所以我得告诉你,领袖在一个群体当中所起的作用还是很大的。你要知道新加坡这个地方,之前你知道是个什么状况吗?在李光耀管理新加坡之前,新加坡这个地方可乱了,那乱到什么程度呢?乱到了私会党横行。如果你是刚移民到新加坡的,你最先要找的是什么?最先找的是宗乡会馆,宗乡会馆出去都是团伙,那个东西其实就是个私会党。 结果那个时候的政府也是很腐败,我就在想啊,那个时候的政府,警察系统,还有很多东西都是非常腐败的,非常的肮脏,黑社会横行。结果这个李光耀做了新加坡的领导后,他一点一点地把这些东西全部给铲除了。你说厉害不厉害?很厉害。所以领袖在一个国家的作用很重要。

我得告诉你,如果你要找一份工作,你想不想找一个比较有未来的地方去做工呢?肯定想啊。如果你要找的话,你千万不要随便找份工作就干吧,千万别瞎找工作。你不但要知道那家公司,你也得评估一下这家公司。有很多人就在一家很烂的公司里头干,感到到好几十岁后再走,结果不知道往哪儿走了。 你写简历的话,你写某家公司,人家就觉得:你怎么能在这家公司?肯定不是个人才啊。记住啊,有一些公司在你的简历上能添点光彩啊,但是有一些公司你添上以后那是件丢人的事儿啊。所以我就在想,教会也是一样的。你要选教会的话,你不得选一间蒙福的教会吗?蒙福的教会上面得有一个牧师,把这教会治理得能够让弟兄姐妹蒙福啊。这个逻辑很简单。 如果你去一间教会,结果教会还得找会友来服侍,这教会好像有点毛病吧?人家反过来说:你来牧养我吧。你说这要命不?我知道有一个牧师,他就找他们教会的会友为他祷告一身的病。为啥?他们的会友跑到咱们当中来了。那你说他一身的病,倒是直接来找我呀,或者直接来传承我们华人命定神学这套神学体系多好。 因为他是个牧师,他觉得那么做的话得多丢人呢,结果偷偷摸摸地找他的会友为他祷告,我就觉着这事儿挺丢人啊。为啥?人家觉得面子多重要啊,他那么爱面子,这教会怎么继续往前走啊?怎么走到神的心意里去啊?结果神就把他交在仇敌手中。弟兄姐妹要知道啊,我是很小心的。我不能把大家带到交到仇敌手中啊,我也不能把自己最后落到被神交在仇敌手中。

所以以笏死了以后,那个时候的人没有被管理,个人任意而行,过自己的小日子、你过你的日子,我过我的日子,个人自扫门前雪,结果怎么着?雪是少了。你把你们家的雪扫到我们家门口来了,我就要找你算账。结果就因为扫雪,两家就打起来了,哎呦,我的天呐!甚至出人命的都有。你说这都是什么脑子?如果管理的好,老百姓至于这样吗?这就是问题所在。 最后就招惹了神的愤怒,结果怎么着?神就兴起仇敌让以色列人被压制二十年。你跟你邻居打架,你厉害啊。人家旁边有一个王叫耶宾,这个耶宾突然间就变得强大起来了,也不知道为什么就强大了,然后还找一个很厉害的将军叫西西拉,这将军也是当时很有名的将军,结果就欺压了以色列人二十年。到了收割的年间,耶宾、西西拉就带着军队来了,挨家挨户收,人都白干了。 你想想看,过日子能过得好吗?过日子能过得好的话,咱大家就都过日子。但是如果你想过日子,就把鬼给招来了,鬼就来欺负你,让你过受咒诅的日子,你要不要过呢?不能过。是不是有些人过着过着半身不遂了?过着过着脑梗了、腰椎了、颈椎了?还有胃癌了,还有的人欠债了,反正就是这些事儿把人整的老惨了。这都不需要我告诉你们,你们自己怎么回事,你们都不是很清楚吗?很清楚。

我告诉你,这个仇敌是迦南王耶宾,他有铁车九百辆,他怎么能造出铁车来啊?他怎么就能够让经济这么发达啊?他怎么就能够有这么强大的将军西西拉啊?那是神的作为。 所以大家都要变聪明一点,如果神把你交在一个很强大的仇敌的手里,你就常常被压制,甚至常常觉得很惨,根本看不到翻身的机会。那以色列人被交在仇敌手中,就像我们很多的基督徒,被交在魔鬼手里。这个病、那个病,这个事、那个事,刚刚好一点了又被骗了,刚刚好一点了又生病了,反正这日子没法过了。 那这个仇敌怎么就这么兴旺呢?以色列人看着都发懵啊?前两天我听了一个故事,这个故事就是一对夫妻俩,她在这边开了一家鞋店,她老公在那边开了一家鞋店。她在这家鞋店里放赞美诗歌,而她老公不信主,她以为放赞美诗歌就讨神喜悦了,结果一个月一双鞋卖不出去的时候都有啊,天天赔钱啊。 结果这夫妻俩,一个赚钱一个赔钱。当然了这是她老公的安排,一个做低端一个做高端。但是问题来了,她以为放赞美诗歌就可以蒙福,哪有这回事儿?经常行耶和华眼中看为恶的事儿。假如说有一个人从这边走过去,你瞪人家一眼,你这不是没事找事吗?你说你放着赞美诗歌还这么干,讨不讨神的愤怒啊?招惹神的愤怒。所以鞋卖不出去啊。这个姐妹最近在我们的牧养下稍微改了点儿,好像最近有一天卖了五百块钱的鞋。

所以我想这仇敌兴起啊,大家不要以为奇怪啊。至于耶宾和西西拉,他们怎么就这么发达呢?其实你问他们的话,他们也不知道,就是莫名其妙就开始强盛起来了,背后有神的手。那神要使他们强盛起来干啥呢?欺负以色列人,修理他们,抢他们的粮食,抢他们的钱。有的人说:神为什么要这么干呢?那你行耶和华眼中看为恶的事儿,神就兴起仇敌来攻击你,欺负你,压榨你,这不活该吗? 所以建立教会要小心啊,为什么呢?你建立了一间挂着神的牌子的教会,但是又行耶和华眼中看为恶的事儿。我告诉你,那肯定是很惨的,想都不用想。所以我有一套理论啊,神要么使你身居天下万民之上,要么使你身居天下万民之下。你若谨守遵行神的话,神就祝福你,你若不谨守遵行神的话,神就把你交在仇敌手中。 如果这个逻辑进到了咱们脑子里头,你能够得出什么结论啊?哎呀,这辈子谁都敢得罪,就是不敢得罪神。那得罪神可不得了啊,可是问题来了,我就发现很多人,谁都不敢得罪,就是敢得罪神。我就说:这胆是什么胆呢? 在咱们当中的人可得听好了,你一定要小心啊,千万别得罪神啊。那什么叫做不得罪神呢?行耶和华眼中看为正的事儿,不要行耶和华眼中看为恶的事儿。这不得了啊,或许你会像这以色列人一样,被压制了二十年,过倒霉的生活。

有人说:我已经四十了,等我到六十岁才求神。那就这么地吧,那就是你的造化。我经常看到人受咒诅,人受了咒诅后,不行耶和华眼中看为正的事儿,到死他都不知道自己行了啥,让神这么彰显祂的愤怒。有人得了癌症还跟我说:无缘无故的咒诅不会临到我。我说:是,你这咒诅都是有缘有故的。到死他都不知道自己行了啥。人多么无知啊,为什么我要教大家读《圣经》,要一章一章地读呢?就是要让大家知道神是这么干的。 所以这些仇敌被兴起来,他们自己都不知道,这迦南王就在想:我这顺风顺水,要风得风,要雨得雨,经济怎么就这么好呢?怎么就有高科技可以造九百辆铁车?那九百辆铁车在那个年代是啥呀?那是最先进的无人机,最先进的战斗机,最先进的导弹。给你放几个,我看你日子怎么过,这就是神兴起仇敌。

以色列人非得等二十年后才呼求神,这二十年怎么就没整明白呢?被人家压制了二十年,一代人都过去了。那个时候五十岁,现在七十了。那个时候人能活到七十啊,早就过世了。人就开始呼求神。有的时候我就特别的感慨,直到现在我都在想,我们当中有多少人活在咒诅当中的,能够开始呼求神?你早点呼求神,早点得恩典不好吗?早点回转向神不好吗? 当你看见人被交在仇敌手中,看见仇敌开始很兴旺,看见自己被欺压,你得明白啊。以色列人一开始掉到这种光景的时候,他们还不明白为什么花了二十年呢?我告诉你啊,因为以色列人一开始就觉得:我挺好的呀,我得罪神了吗?我不过就是想过过日子呀。 最近我碰到一个美国人,他有时候撒不了尿,有时候拉不了屎,腿也不能走路。我今天带他祷告,明天带他祷告,后来呢,其实有些问题也不是说完全没有进步,是有进步的。结果他第二天早晨起来一看自己的腿,他就开始抱怨,又哭又闹又要自杀。后来他就开始咒诅神,骂神,你说这是什么脑子啊?他一边骂神,我还一边带他祷告,我这边力气也白费了。 以色列人在这二十年里,发现自己骂了二十年的神,结果越骂日子越惨了。我可告诉你,很多人活在很惨的光景当中啊。我真的见到有几个朋友就是这种,他们恨神啊,到死都不知道自己哪块整错了。还好这以色列人扛了二十年,终于开始醒悟过来了。之前非得跟神较劲啊,但是又较不过啊,如果再继续骂神,那就再被欺压二十年啊。

这以色列人慢慢地就开始琢磨,发现不行,突然就想起之前以笏之前的那个年代。不是有一个人叫做俄陀聂吗?就想起这事儿。也有可能是有一个人得了启示,读了《申命记》的第二十八章,**在我们富有的时候不甘心乐意侍奉我们的神,所以我们就得侍奉耶和华打发来攻击我们的仇敌**。 我就让这美国人的老婆带着他读《申命记》第二十八章,或许能明白:我这没整对,我那没整对,都没整对。我告诉你,人最傻的就是不知道呼求神,不知道神有丰富的恩典和怜悯。以色列人骂了二十年,二十年以后开始呼求神了,神就为他们兴起一个拯救者。你想在这二十年的日子里是怎么过的?有的人就没熬过来啊,到死都不知道。所以我鼓励大家脑袋好使一点。我见了好些个弟兄姐妹,见面的时候不敢瞎说呀,说完了人家不但咒诅神还咒诅我呀。 我回来以后,就跟我的这些同工就说:瞧好吧,肯定被交在仇敌手中。我只能在查经的时候说一下,因为你也不知道我在说谁啊,所以你也不会恨我。我就在后面偷着说:这肯定要被交在仇敌手里啊,或许他听了我的《士师记》能够意识到吧。

我真的很感慨,感慨到什么程度呢?我见了一些人的面的时候,你知道我谈的最多的是啥?就是我一边要准备见你的时候,我就一边准备我脑袋里所想的,准备一下他关心的是啥?我不傻呀,就跟我出去做销售的时候,我得知道顾客在想啥呀?我给他说的都是他所想的,但是很少人知道自己要见我要干啥? 如果他字字不提牧养,字字不提爱神,一个字儿都不提要敬畏神,自己哪块做得不好,什么地方需要改变,还有什么地方需要提升,那我心里头其实是很难受的。人家不提,我就别瞎说了,那我不能白读《信任五环》,不能白读书啊。 我想的都是他要的,他就不想想神要的是什么吗?我所要的是啥呢?我所要的就是大家都能够过蒙福的日子,但是我真的是说句掏心的话呀,我常常感到悲叹啊,早晚有一天,你会呼求神的呀;早晚有一天,你会知道自己行耶和华眼中看为恶的事儿;早晚有一天,你就会发现你的仇敌越来越强大;早晚有一天,你就会发现你的钱包、你的健康一点一点被吞噬。那就看你的造化了。 如果人到了那种光景,你还是不知道自己行了神眼中看为恶的事,还觉得自己做得不错,你到死的时候也不知道。当牛头马面突然间出现在你旁边的时候,一左一右,人才会发现:哎呀,发生什么事儿?神啊,为什么会这样?神都懒得理你。感慨不?感慨呀。

这次的士师还是个女的,当这个人开始呼求神的时候,莫名其妙就在一个地方,在以法莲山地,拉玛和伯特利中间,兴起一个先知叫底波拉。人呼求神,神就兴起一位士师,叫做底波拉。那怎么就兴起来了呢?我们其实也说不清楚,就发现这个人很厉害。 比如说,两家人因为地界,还有琐事吵起来了,有的时候可能是开着车给撞死了。这些人就到底波拉这里来讲理,让她来做判断。我就在想,这是个什么逻辑啊?就是底波拉怎么就成了士师了呢?其实我告诉你,这都是神的作为啊。大家都说:你就到底波拉那里去听判断吧,她给你的绝对是个公正的判断。结果两家人就去了。 以法莲山地那边,拉玛和伯特利中间,底波拉就坐在那树下,连个房子,桌子也没有,就底波拉一个老太婆。按我说就是一个老娘们坐在那,但是神就给他智慧啊。她一判,哎呀,大家就觉得:哇,厉害!结果这名声就传遍了以色列,以色列人就喜欢听她的。为什么喜欢听她的?其实也不重要,她是什么人不重要。神就在这个时候兴起她,给她胆量和智慧。其实她是个女的或是个男的,这事不重要,因为神所拣选的才重要。 那我问你,神怎么就拣选了底波拉呢?如果你整天说:哎呀,服侍神是个苦差。你觉得神能拣选你吗?神不能拣选你。但是神怎么就拣选了这个底波拉了呢?因为这底波拉心里头敬畏神、寻求神,爱神。结果一下子就在以色列人中做老大了,她怎么就做老大了?她骨子里头有这股劲儿。

后来神就又兴起一个帮手叫巴拉。底波拉说:去,把那巴拉找来。巴拉就来了,一叫他就来了。他怎么这么听话呢?因为是神在做工,都神奇得不得了。如果你是一个讨神喜悦的人,你会发现你的老板很喜欢你。所以人呐,脑子里别装垃圾,要做讨神喜悦的人。 咱们弟兄姐妹可得知道,行耶和华眼中看为正的事儿。我们曾经十多年前查的《列王纪》,我还写了两本书呢,《列王纪上》和《列王纪下》,这两本书可好了。我们查的《列王纪》,网站点击量最高。如果你在谷歌上一搜《列王纪》的查经,我们的在最上面,那是最好的一篇文章了。为啥?讲的是行耶和华眼中看为正的事。 所以说你要是想做生意啊,记住啊!你若行耶和华眼中看为正的事儿,我问你,做生意,谁能做得过你啊?做不过你啊。千万不要以为有一些好像很火的人啊,他们搞的那些歪门邪道的东西,能搞得过我们的神吗?搞不过。我们的神老厉害了,神要使你兴起,没有仇敌可以站立在你面前。 如果你是约书亚,你平生的日子没有仇敌可以站立在你面前。约书亚平生有遇到对手吗?没有遇到。如果你是大卫,大卫就制服了周边所有的国家。厉害不?那如果你是大卫管理以色列,你可以制服周边的国家。那如果你是个生意人,你的竞争对手没有办法跟你竞争。所以我们要知道我们的神有多厉害,我们的神很厉害!问题就是我们是否行耶和华眼中看为正的事儿。

后来这巴拉一喊,一万人就来了。奇怪不?有一万人都愿意来报名当兵,好人不当兵,有没有听过这句话?一说要当兵,躲远点,一说要征兵,不去。尤其是打仗的时候,那不是开玩笑的。不知道是巴拉厉害还是西西拉更厉害,后来发现巴拉比西西拉厉害,因为那个西西拉拉稀了,碰到巴拉了。 如果现在征兵,把你送在乌克兰战场去,你要不要?那战场是很残酷的,谁要?谁也不要。所以这事儿就很神奇,有这么多不怕死的啊。这以色列人怎么就突然间冒出了一个底波拉啊?然后又冒出了一个巴拉,怎么就都冒出来了呢?后来又冒出了一万人的敢死队啊,这事儿很有意思啊。 神要做工,神要帮助你,神要兴起你,神一定会兴起一群人。我大胆地发一个预言,就在这个世代神要兴起我们,为什么?因为我常常讲要行耶和华眼中看为正的事!神要在我们当中兴起我们,神要使我们成为这地上万民的祝福。多好啊!神要使我们得胜,神要把仇敌交在我们手中。那西西拉就成拉稀了啊。 我告诉你,现在仅仅只是个开始,经过这么多年的积累,神在我们当中做了这么多的神奇的事儿。在这个世代,神的心意还远远没有得到满足。你愿意做一个让神的心意得到满足的人吗?如果愿意做让神的心意得到满足的人,我告诉你,你就是这一万人,神要把仇敌交在你手中。所以我就觉得我们得到一个绝好的机会啊,我们要成为美国人的祝福,我们要成为欧洲人的祝福,我们要成为澳洲人的祝福,我们要成为中南半岛的祝福,我们要成为东南亚的祝福,甚至将来去非洲,成为非洲人的祝福。

我有一次跟弟兄姐妹说话聊天的时候,我说:你知道吗?我现在准备着,习惯吃欧洲人吃的那些豆。新加坡有一盘菜叫臭豆,很臭的一种豆啊。他们说:非洲人吃各种豆啊,各种果实,都是怪味的啊。你想啊,一咬一口花椒,一咬一口大料,哎哟,我的天呐!那满嘴都是大料的味儿。非洲人吃的那些东西啊,那我现在就从练臭豆开始啊,将来有机会去那儿。 所以咱们弟兄姐妹要知道,神在遍地寻找爱神的百姓。神找到了就把他们当作宝贝,要让他们被兴起来,要身居天下万民之上,好得无比啊!我告诉你,无论你走到哪里,神都把仇敌交在你手中。

要记住,我们争战不是靠着我们自己的力量,也不是靠着我们自己的智慧,而是靠着神。你知道这个巴拉来到底波拉面前,然后让他去打仗。这个巴拉说:底波拉,你得跟着我去,如果你不去,我也不去。为啥呢?这个巴拉说:我去到前面,就是送命去了,面对那九百辆铁车,你在家里头在这吃香的喝辣的,我看还是拉倒吧。如果要死,咱们一起去死。咱俩先死在这一万人的面前,然后这一万敢死队跟着咱们去。 巴拉就让底波拉陪他一起去,其实底波拉去不去这事儿不重要。问题是啥呢?底波拉必须得去,因为神与底波拉同在。记住啊,巴拉这个人是很聪明的,巴拉不是信心不够大,他心里很清楚的知道神与底波拉同在,所以他就得把底波拉给带上,然后神就会把仇敌交在他们手中。其实我告诉你,如果底波拉不去,其实也没事,神要把仇敌交在你手中,那就肯定要交在你手中。巴拉带着那一万人,其实那一万人也不重要。 那我想巴拉带着那个一万人在那开大会,一对旌旗招展,迎风飘扬啊。就去了两个支派啊,那这俩支派来了一万人,没有人说:哎?那十个支派呢?没有人说这事儿。为什么?谁去谁得恩典!结果这一万人来了啊。巴拉说:有没有怕死的呀?怕死的站这边,不怕死的站那边,结果没有人在那边,都站到这边来了。为啥?因为太辛苦了,被耶宾欺负的啊。 巴拉说:你们跟耶宾有没有仇?大家说:有!巴拉说:要不要拼了?大家都说:要啊!大概是这么个意思,冲啊!冲啊!这个巴拉和底波拉做了战争的动员,神必与我们同在。中国古代抛三十个硬币,就跟大家说:如果面全是朝上的,那就是神把仇敌交在我们手中。结果一倒出来,面全朝上啊,其实两面都一样,就这么回事儿。

所以咱们大家要知道是神把仇敌交在我们手中。你以为老马是我打败的吗?不是。是因为我行耶和华眼中看为正的事儿。我心里头说句老实话,我只有爱神这一件事儿,我到死都要紧紧地抓住我的神。我告诉你,是神把老马交在我手里啊,是神的灵在我前面,然后灭掉我的仇敌啊。跟底波拉没关系,跟巴拉也没关系,跟那一万人也没关系,只跟神有关系。我们不过是神手中的器皿,我们只冲上去做,但其实是神在我们前面,已经将仇敌交在我们手中,所以不要害怕。 如果你做医治释放,你不要害怕。你只需要担心一件事儿:你是不是行耶和华眼中看为正的事儿?那敌人的铁车也是没用的呀,铁车能挡得住神吗?就那铁车,齐天大圣来了,也挡不住神的军队。齐天大圣都干不过啊,铁车更没用了,铁车算个啥?结果神就把仇敌给击败了。 如果你仔细读,耶和华使西西拉和他的一切车辆全军溃乱,在巴拉面前被刀杀败。西西拉下车,步行逃跑。哎呀,这很惨啊。为啥呢?神怎么就让这铁车变成废铁了呢?我们很难想象,应该是天使天兵,在那里头把整辆车都该掉轮子掉轮子,该马达不能启动的马达不能启动,反正就是乌烟瘴气了,全卡在那了。你知道吗?那士兵站在那辆铁车上还穿着铠甲,下车打不了仗,只有逃跑了,结果这个西西拉真的就拉稀了,跑了。那是谁做的?不是以色列人做的,而是神做的。是神击败了我们的仇敌,是神在我们前面,为我们而争战。整本《圣经》全是这么写的,神透过很奇妙的作为啊。

这地方记载了有一个摩西的后代啊,就是摩西岳父的后裔基尼人希百,离开基尼族,住到靠近基低斯,在那儿支搭帐篷。你知道吗?后面有一个人叫雅亿,雅亿是谁呢?雅亿就是这希百的老婆。现在联系上了吗?这希百实际上跟西西拉,还有耶宾之间的关系不错,结果这个西西拉终于逃到这个基尼人希百的帐棚这里来了。哎呀,走也走不动了,身上还挺老重的铠甲,又渴又饿,就逃到这儿了。这下终于看到好朋友了,可能以前还来过希百的家喝过茶或者喝过小酒什么的。 雅亿赶紧把西西拉给迎进来,给他喝奶呀。雅亿就把他西西拉安顿好了,他就呼呼大睡了。那我问你,这雅亿跟西西拉有仇吗?其实也没有仇啊,但是怎么就突然间想起拿个橛子,把他给钉死了呢?其实我告诉你,这雅亿和希百,他们跟以色列有没有关系?有关系。那他为什么跟耶宾和西西拉这些人之间关系搞得不错呢?因为西西拉是地头蛇,他们只是混日子的,雅亿就觉得:现在你打败仗了,神使以色列得胜了,我也立一功啊。神就让雅亿这么一想。但是有的人呢?瞬间就想歪了,而有的人就瞬间就想正了。结果雅亿拿橛子就把西西拉给钉死了。 你说这西西拉是足智多谋,有点像关公败走麦城,关羽那是三国时期的名将啊。西西拉是《士师记》那个年代的名将,就是在那个年代能打得过西西拉的不多呀。在以色列那块地上,比不上秦琼,也能比得上单雄信呢。结果这么一个人,被一个女的脑子里头一个意念就给他钉死了,那是神的作为。

神透过敌人的朋友,把敌人给干掉了,神的作为太奇妙了!如果你在单位里头,在企业里头,你会发现:哎,这个人怎么就被他的好朋友给干掉了呢?如果你是一个讨神喜悦的人,别闲得没事就识别善恶,别闲得没事就体贴肉体,也不要闲得没事爱钱、爱世界。闲着没事就爱神,闲着没事就好好地认识神,那你就厉害了! 仇敌是不是神交在我们手中?是啊。我感谢神!在华人命定神学的观念里头,如果你好好地侍奉耶和华你的神,尤其是在富有了以后还好好地侍奉耶和华你的神,把祂放在我们生命的首位。我告诉你,神一定会把你的仇敌交在你的手里。过去压榨你的、欺负你的,现在都要被你踩在脚下,你要身居天下万民之上。

我问你,这是他们自己练出来的吗?不是。是他们就是有这样的力量。我感谢神啊!我到现在还是浑身都是劲儿啊。我们当中一个弟兄啊,他妈就给我来了一句话:你们的牧师真的是有劲儿啊。人的信心如何,人的力量也如何,我希望将来你一生的年日,你的手都有力,可以打败最强大的敌人。神会使我们有力量,神就会使我们有智慧,神就会使我们财务上兴旺。相信吗?我绝对相信啊!我相信在接下来的日子里会更加的兴旺啊。危机就是我们的机会,大家要知道,全球性的经济危机要来了。哎呀,真好啊,机会来了。 有的时候开玩笑啊,我们当中有一个小组长离开了以后,下面的人就说:哇,终于走了,我的机会来了啊。我觉着这话说得好啊,真的是他的机会就来了。现在我们的机会来了,神要把仇敌交在我们手中。耶宾、西西拉都会被踩在脚下。老马、蛇这些都被我们踩在脚下。 我想做个总结:人一生要学习依靠神,讨神的喜悦、要认识神、敬畏神。我就在想我这份工到底是份啥工呢?我打了一份工,哎呀,我的老板就是神啊。那在我的心里头就是苦思冥想,天天都在想我老板要的是啥?我一定要使我的老板心里头欢喜,让祂的心意得着满足啊。 大家要知道,我们就是这个世代的亚伯拉罕,要敬畏神,认识祂,一生活在神的恩典当中。无论是什么样的仇敌,只要在我们还活着的年间,都不能够站立在我们的面前。哇,想起来都好啊。那这不是最重要的,最重要的就是神在这个世代拣选了我们要干啥?要让我们成为这个世代的亚伯拉罕,地上的万民要因我们得福。我心里还在想着,哎呀,这么多年过去了,怎么还没成为地上万民的祝福呢?虽然心里是这么的想啊,但是我觉着在接下来的时间里,我们要看见前所未有的神的荣耀。阿们。 愿神祝福大家!
