【Bible Study】Hebrews 11 Part 2 – The Assurance of Faith and Hope with Certainty

2018-11-08 20,942 Hebrews The Kingdom of God Seeing Through Life and Death Obedience to God's Word Assurance of Faith Faith as the Key Complete Consecration

This World is Profoundly Spiritual

In the previous episode, I primarily argued that faith is substantiated. If you are a person of faith, you will find that miracles and wonders will follow you. This confirms one thing: the world we live in today is profoundly spiritual. No one has seen God, but whether you have seen God's existence or not, as long as you have faith, you can see miracles and wonders following us. Although our physical eyes cannot see God, we can clearly see God's presence with us.

A person who has God's presence in this world is one whom this world is unworthy of. Then, what kind of person is this world worthy of? They are all people who follow the logic of this world. After death, all is extinguished. Occasionally, they may even consult a fortune teller. When you talk to them about the Lord Jesus, they claim to be atheists. Many customs in this world are very strange.

However, if we believe in God and, by faith, witness the miracles and wonders that God performs, we come to a conclusion: you will find that this world is profoundly spiritual. Yet, many Christians are not very interested in the spiritual world. Instead, they are more interested in elections and praying for the general election. What I want to argue is, what do Christians actually believe in?

Someone once told me not to touch politics. I am very clear about not touching it, because the Kingdom of God is not of this world. Everyone must know one thing: I have not read in the Bible that God wants to transform this world. If you have, I will not argue with you. What I have read is that God will destroy this world, not transform it.

The Kingdom of God is Not on This Earth

Today, we must ask a very core question: what exactly does the Jesus Christ we believe in want to do? The Lord Jesus set an example for us. Our Lord Jesus did not participate in politics. When people arrested him, he said one sentence: If my kingdom were of this world, do you think that I cannot ask my Father fetch twelve legions of angels? If angels were to destroy this world, wouldn't it be a very simple thing? So the Lord Jesus said: My kingdom is not of this world.

Many people want to promote the Lord Jesus to form a political party, but our Lord Jesus does not accept this. According to human logic, it would be good if Jesus were to accept this, leading Israel to establish a vast empire and defeat the Roman Empire, which would be more in line with human reasoning.

Today, we must carefully read the Bible, especially Hebrews chapter 11. We have not seen anyone involved in politics. Although Joseph became a prime minister, his hope was not in this world. Today, we must understand one thing: what is the foundation of the faith of Jesus Christ? What do we believe in?

We must know for certain that we believe in a better homeland, and we acknowledge that we are sojourners and pilgrims in this world. We do not care so much about what this world is like! Brothers and sisters, begin to understand that it is meaningless for Christians to participate in some politics. Begin to practice our faith, which is how to be with God and be a person whom the world is not worthy of.

Your Faith is the Key

Continuing from the last chapter, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, and others were all chosen by God. These people all died with these hopes. Their hopes were not in this world because their core interests were not in this world. You may argue, they were chosen by God, but what about me? Can I enter the Kingdom of God? Can I be chosen by God?

The Bible gives an example: Rahab, the prostitute in Jericho. Rahab was originally destined to be destroyed, but she was very clear about what God was all about. She knew how God led Moses to bring Israel out of Egypt and how God called Abraham. She paid close attention to God's affairs. She believed that God would save her and would not destroy the righteous.

When she chose to be a person of faith, like many of us, she did not care whether God would choose her. I must obtain salvation. As a result, Joshua had a prompting and sent two spies.

The two spies sent by Joshua were hidden by Rahab. Rahab lied and evaded the search by the King of Jericho. Therefore, Rahab's whole family was saved because Rahab believed. Rahab paid attention to God's affairs, and her faith played a key role. God would save her.

So today, we should no longer ask, can I be chosen, but believe that I can be chosen! I just want to seek the more beautiful homeland that God has given me, and wait for and hope for the good things that God has prepared for me. I know that I cannot obtain the promise while alive, but I can obtain the evidence of good things through faith, and you will surely be saved like Rahab.

God does not want us to be destroyed. God does not want us to be disobedient. If the entire city of Jericho sought God, God would save them all. Like the Book of Jonah in the Bible, Jonah declared an evil thing in the city of Nineveh, that this city would be destroyed. As a result, the whole city repented, even the king, and God forgave the sins of the entire city of Nineveh.

Today, those of us who believe in God must believe that there is a God. If you believe that you are chosen, you will be chosen. If you do not believe that you will be chosen, you will not be chosen. The key is not whether you are elected. The key lies in whether you believe it or not. Faith plays a key role.

On my path of service, there have been tears all the way. When I lead everyone in prayer, let thank my God. You know, it is impossible to walk such a difficult road without faith. Someone always uses the matter of being chosen to attack my faith, asking me, did God really choose you to do this? I also don't know, but I believe that I am chosen. We began to walk a path of faith, and we can truly see God's strong presence.

Precisely because it is this path of faith that allows us to see the path of the world clearly, Rahab, who was originally going to be destroyed, was chosen by God, which is a very good thing. Among us, are many obeying God or obeying the logic of the world? If you obey God, you do not obey the logic of the world and you can only choose one.

If you live in this world and are afraid of death, you will be afraid of many things. If you are not even afraid of death, what are you afraid of? I advise everyone to see through life and death, because in our faith, we know that God has prepared beautiful things for us— eternal life. We will not die. If we die and all is extinguished, then living is meaningless. People do not want to die, but they have to die, which is the most tragic thing in the world.

See Through Life and Death, Have Hope of Eternal Life

If there is a God who can save us forever, what are we afraid of? Without eternal life, there is no meaning. So I have eternal hope, and I see through life and death. If you are still afraid of this today, afraid of that, afraid of the boss... why is that? Because you have not seen through it inside!

There is no eternal hope inside you! You have developed a strong interest in the things of this world! The affairs of this world are all your core interests! You are the person whom this world is worthy of! But those of us who have seen through are the people whom the world is not worthy of!

Are there still people among us who have not seen through? I advise you to see through it sooner. It is painful not to see through it. If you can see through it, you will not be afraid of death. If you are not even afraid of death, you are not afraid of your wife, you are not afraid of your husband... you are not afraid of anything, then this person is very powerful in the spiritual realm. How free that would be!

If you say there is no eternal life, you have to put all your hope in this world? Your hope is what to eat and what to drink. After death, there is nothing good to eat or drink. But today, what we are imitating is Abraham! Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, these people are amazing!

God told Abraham that your descendants would go to Egypt as slaves for four hundred years. After Abraham heard this, why didn't he argue with God? Abraham offered Isaac on the altar. Isaac said: It's great, I can offer myself to God, the sooner the better! Because I have a more beautiful homeland inside, I have a Mingding Destiny inside!

If you still put your hope in this world, I tell you, you will suffer a lot, and God will not help you! We have the hope of eternal life, see through life and death, and no longer live under the dominion of death! Such faith will allow God to save us in anything that is to be destroyed! That's great! We don't care at all about suffering a little in the world! We don't care at all about how we live in the world! When we don't care, we live very well! Because God is with us!

One day, Daniel was thrown into the lion's den because he was framed in a political struggle. But he loved God very much. People did not allow him to pray, but he opened the window and prayed loudly there! After being thrown into the lion's den, the next day, the king went to the edge of the lion's den to see if Daniel had any bones left. As a result, Daniel was still alive! Why? God sealed the mouths of the lions! That's so divine!

I've had similar things happen! A Taekwondo black belt master came to me for deliverance and started punching people in my office. The speed was very fast, as if he was going to knock me down with one punch. As a result, he fell to the ground before he even got close to me. To be honest, I was afraid of being punched by a guy who was 100 kilograms and 1.9 meters tall. Later he told me that the demon on his fist wanted to hit me, but every time he got close to me, he fell to the ground and could not stand. True God! I tell you, no one can touch a person who has God with them!

Another time, a provincial sumo wrestler was studying at my school. His hand was swollen as thick as a carrot. He shouted that he wanted me to help him. So I took him into my conference room. As a result, he was shaking violently, his two big hands were twenty centimetres in front of me, trying to choke me. Scary! But he just couldn't choke me! As a result, one person fell to the ground! After a few minutes, he woke up!

I asked him, what happened just now? He said, the devil inside me wanted to kill you! I said, why didn't you kill me? He said, I can't choke you! There is a strong force stopping me! Wow! It turns out that having God is so good! When I fight with demons, many demons see me and run away in fear! This is the beautiful evidence that comes from faith!

You ask me, do you really believe in God? I really believe it, I can't lie to you! Have you really seen through life and death? I really see through it! One day God asked me, do you want to die for me? I said I would, and I cried with joy! I was so touched! Why? Because we have a more beautiful homeland, a more beautiful promise! It's just that we haven't received it in this world yet, but we will definitely receive it in the future! If we don't get it, it won't be complete! Even if anything is healed, or business is overturned, it doesn't count!

Even if Lazarus is resurrected after death, and he comes out of the tomb to testify, it doesn't count! Because Lazarus died again! There is no way to live forever! But in the spiritual world, Lazarus lives forever! If our hope is still in this world, you really have no way to be victorious! Why is it that many cancer patients can't get better no matter what they do? Because what is in them is the logic of this life! Today, brothers and sisters, we must be people whom the world is unworthy of on earth!

In fact, it is very simple to heal cancer. It is to completely destroy the logic of this life inside you, and no longer fear anything! Listen, you will live very well! Why suffer these sins! I used to have all the symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, but I am still alive today! You ask me how I got better, I got better through prayer!

Let me popularize a scientific fact. If a person has a lump on their body that is uneven on the surface and has alternating soft and hard spots inside, there is no need to think about it. It is cancer. If the surface is smooth, like a pebble, it's okay. The lump on my mother's leg was purely killed by prayer! If I did not have the victorious faith inside, and did not have the ability to see through life and death, I would not be able to help my mother.

Brothers and sisters, we must know that there is a most beautiful promise, which is what will happen after we leave this world. Let us rely on God in this world by faith! Even if you become a prince in the world, you do not care about the position of prince! I am also unwilling to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a while! Suffering the humiliation for Jesus Christ is more precious than the wealth of Egypt! Because the reward you want to get is the reward of heaven! I tell you, these are all people whom the world is unworthy of!

Our core interests are not in the world, so we will not participate in those messy things! We live in this world according to God's logic in heaven! Brothers and sisters, let us re-examine ourselves and examine whether we obey God's words! If we do not obey God's words, it is a curse! We obey God's words, which means we believe God's words!

Some people cannot even pass the level of tithing. You cannot even be considered a Christian! You will suffer a lot more sins! We also suffer sins, but the sins we suffer are glorious! The sins you suffer are in the middle of a curse! In the world, you will see demons with you, and after death, you will return to the demons!

There is a primary faith that escapes the mouths of lions, escapes the edge of swords, turns weakness into strength, and shows courage in battle! There is also a high-level faith that endures ridicule, whipping, chains, imprisonment, being stoned to death, sawn in two, tempted, killed by swords, wearing sheepskins, goatskins, running around, suffering poverty, persecution, and wandering in the wilderness. These are people whom the world is unworthy of!

Ordinary people cannot endure these things if they experience them. I tell you, if we brothers and sisters have the opportunity to endure these things, what a great promise you will receive! If there is no eternity in us, how can we run this road? In such a situation, we will fall down all at once! If you can't see through this world, how can you experience these things? The faith of a person who experiences these things and does not fall is so wonderful and so great!

Brothers and sisters, do not think that you have received a great blessing from healing. That is indeed a blessing, but suffering for Jesus Christ is a very great blessing! Because people's faith is precisely confirmed in such things! It is revealed in such things! That is what God has prepared for the specially chosen! In order to bestow upon him the crown of glory!

Let us see what Paul says: We are hard-pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. For while we are in

## Conclusion

Some may say, after hearing you scrutinize the Bible in this manner, the voice of accusation within me is overwhelming! To that, I say: Serves you right! Who told you to be accusatory? For you ought to have been pierced by the word of God; I hope you can awaken! That is not accusation, but God rebuking you! Do not regard earthly hopes as true hope, for if you place your hope in the world, you will have no way to possess eternal hope!

Whether you are new, have been here for a while, or have been here for a long time, I present a challenge to you: Are you willing to offer yourself completely? To utterly destroy the worldly value system, so that you may fully live out the glory of God on earth! Because the path that Jesus Christ has paved for us is one of total devotion. I have seen many Christians today who are exceedingly selfish. Do you think they love God? They love themselves!

Brothers and sisters, examine your hearts carefully to see if we love God within. See if we have insight into all things of this world. In the face of finances, work, children, family, will you choose to live for God and die for God? If you cannot, then go and speak to God. If you believe your good life is due to your job, if you think your children's schools and education are very important, then go ahead and pursue them, may God have mercy on you!

I long for everyone to awaken. If what I say is a bit strong, can you begin to tell yourselves: Behold! These all obtained a good testimony through faith, but did not receive the promise, God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us. May God bless everyone!

上集我主要论证了,信心是有确据的,如果你是一个有信心的人,你会发现神迹奇事会随着你。这就证实了一件事,就是我们今天所在的世界非常属灵。没有人看见过神,但不管你有没有看到神的存在,只要你有信心,就可以看到神迹奇事随着我们。虽然我们肉眼看不到神,但是可以明明的看到神与我们同在。 一个人在这世上有神的同在,他是这个世界不配有的人。那这个世界配有的是什么样的人呢?都是属这个世界逻辑的人。死了之后吹灯拔蜡,偶尔还去算个命,你和他讲主耶稣的时候,还说自己是无神论。这个世界上很多的风俗都是很怪异的。 但是如果我们信了神,凭着信心,看着神所做的神迹奇事,就得出一个结论:你会发现这个世界非常属灵。但是很多基督徒对属灵的世界没有多大兴趣,倒是对选举、为大选祷告比较有兴趣。那我要论证的是,基督徒到底信的是什么呢? 曾经有人告诉我不要去碰政治,我很清楚地不去碰,因为神的国不在世上。大家要知道一件事情,我没有在《圣经》中读到神要转化这个世界。如果你读到,我也不和你争论,我读到的是神要毁灭这个世界,不是转化这个世界。

我们今天要问一个非常核心的问题:我们所信的耶稣基督到底要干嘛?主耶稣给我们做了一个榜样。我们的主耶稣是不参与政治的。人家抓他的时候,他说了一句话:如果我的国在这世上,难道不会求我的父派十二营的天使?如果天使要灭掉这个世界,不是很简单的事情吗?所以主耶稣说:我的国不在这世上。 很多人想把主耶稣推举出来做一个政党,而我们主耶稣不接受这个。按照人的逻辑体系认为主耶稣会如果接受了,该有多好,带领以色列建立庞大的帝国,战胜罗马帝国,比较合乎人的道理。 今天我们要好好读《圣经》,尤其《希伯来书》十一章,我们没有看到哪一个人参与了政治。虽然约瑟做了宰相,但是他的盼望却不在这世上。我们今天要了解一件事,耶稣基督的信仰的根基到底是什么?我们信的是什么? 我们要确切地知道,我们信的是一个更美的家乡,我们承认在这个世上是客旅,寄居的。这个世界是怎么样,我们不是那么的在乎!弟兄姐妹开始了解,基督徒参与一些政治是没有意义的。要开始实践我们的信心,就是如何可以与神同在,做一个世上不配有的人。

接着上一章来讲,亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各,约瑟,摩西等等都是蒙神拣选的,这些人都是存着这些盼望死的,他们的盼望不在这个世上,因为他们的核心利益不在世上。你可能会争论一下,他们是蒙神拣选的,我是不是?能不能进入神的国?能不能蒙神拣选? 《圣经》中给了一个例子,耶利哥城里面的妓女喇合。喇合本来也是被灭的,但她很清楚神是怎么一回事,她知道神让摩西带领以色列出埃及,神如何呼召亚伯拉罕。她非常留意神的事情,她相信神会拯救她,相信神不会灭掉义人。 当她选择做一个有信心的人,就像我们中间很多的人一样,根本不会在乎神会不会拣选,而是按照里面的信心!我一定要得着拯救。结果,约书亚有一个感动,派去了两个探子去。 约书亚派去的两个探子被喇合藏起来了,喇合撒谎躲过了耶利哥王的搜查,所以喇合的全家因为喇合相信都得了拯救。喇合留意神的事情,她的信心起了关键作用,神会拯救她。 **所以今天我们不要再去问,我能不能被拣选,而是相信我可以被拣选**!我就是要寻找神给我更美的家乡,就是等候盼望神给我预备美好的事情。我知道我活着没有办法得着应许,我可以因信得着美好的证据,你一定会和喇合一样被得救。

神不希望我们被灭掉,神不希望我们做不顺从的人。如果整个耶利哥城的人都寻求神,神都会拯救。就像《圣经》中的《约拿书》,约拿在尼尼微城宣告了一个恶事,这个城要被灭了,结果全城悔改,甚至是王,神就赦免了尼尼微全城的罪。 我们今天信神的人,必须信有神。如果你相信你被拣选,你就会被拣选;你要是不相信会被拣选,就不会被拣选。关键不是在于你被不被拣选,而是在于你相不相信,信心起关键作用。 我服侍的路上,一路上都是眼泪,带着大家祷告,就开始感谢我的神。你知道这么艰难的路,没有信心走不下去。有人总是借着被拣选这个事情,来打击我的信心,问我,神真的拣选你做这件事情了吗?我也不知道,但是我相信我被拣选的,我们开始走一条信心的路,真的可以看到神强烈的同在。 正因为是这条信心的路,可以让我们看清世上的路,本来要被灭绝的喇合却被神拣选,这是非常好的事情。我们当中很多人,是顺从神,还是顺从世界的逻辑体系?如果你顺从神,你就不顺从世界的逻辑体系,只能选择其一。 你活在这个世上,如果怕死,就会害怕很多事情。如果连死都不怕,你还怕什么?我奉劝大家看透生死,因为我们信心里面知道,神为我们预备美好的东西——永生,我们不会死掉,如果我们死了就吹灯拔蜡,那么活着就毫无意义。人不想死,却得死,这是世上最悲哀的事情。

如果活着有一位神可以救我们到永远,我们还怕什么?没有永生就毫无意义。所以我有永恒的盼望,看透生和死。如果你今天还是怕这个,怕那个,怕老板……那是为什么?是因为你里面没看透! 你里面没有永恒的盼望!你里面对这个世上的东西产生了浓厚的兴趣!这世界上的事儿都是你的核心利益!你就是这世界配有的人!但是我们这些看透了的,就是世界上不配有的人! 在我们当中是否还有人没有看透?我劝你早点看透,看不透很遭罪,能够看透就不害怕死。连死也不怕,老婆也不怕,老公也不怕……什么也不怕,那么这个人在灵界里面就很厉害,那得多自由啊!

你如果说没有永生,你不得把所有得盼望都放在这世界上吗?你的盼望就是吃什么,喝什么,死了以后,就吃啥啥不香,喝啥啥不辣。但是我们今天,效法的就是亚伯拉罕!亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各,这些人了不起! 神跟亚伯拉罕说,你的后裔要去埃及为奴四百年,亚伯拉罕听了以后,为什么没有跟神争论?亚伯拉罕把以撒献在祭坛上,以撒说:太好啦,能把我献给神,早死早拉倒啊!因为我里面有一个更美的家乡,我里面有一个命定! 如果你还是把盼望放在这个世上,我告诉你,你遭的罪老些个了,神也不会帮助你!我们有了永生的盼望,看透生死,就不再活在死亡的辖制当中!这样的信心,会让神在任何被灭的当中拯救我们!这太棒了!在世上受点苦,我们根本不在乎!我们根本不在乎在世上活得怎么样!当我们不在乎,我们就活得很好!因为神与我们同在!

有一天但以理被丢进狮子坑里,因为在政治斗争当中被人陷害。但是他非常爱神,人家不允许他祷告,他却打开窗户在那里大声祷告!被丢进狮子坑里以后,第二天,王去狮子坑边,看看但以理还有没有一把骨头,结果但以理还活着!为什么?神封住了狮子的口啊!这太神了! 我也经历过类似的事儿!有一个跆拳道黑带的高手,来找我释放,就在我的办公室打起拳来了,速度非常快,好像要一拳把我给干掉,结果他还没有靠近我,就自己倒在了地上。说实在的,一百公斤的块头,一米九的大个子,再给我一拳,我也挺怕的。后来他告诉我,鬼在他拳头上要打我,但是每次靠近我,就自己倒在地上,站立不住。真神啊!我告诉你,有神同在的人,谁也不能碰! 还有一次,一个省级的相扑运动员,在我的学校读书,他的手肿的跟胡萝卜一样粗,他就喊着,要我帮他,我就把他带进了我的会议室,结果他整个人就在那剧烈摇动,两只大手就在我前面二十厘米处,要过来掐我,吓人啊!但就是掐不着!结果就一个人倒在地上了!过了几分钟,就醒过来了! 我问他,刚刚是怎么回事,他说,我里面的鬼,要掐死你啊!我说那怎么不掐呢?他说,掐不动啊!有一股剧烈的力量拦阻我!哇!原来有神这么好啊!我跟鬼打仗,很多鬼看到我,那是屁滚尿流啊!这就是因着信,结出美好的证据!

你问我,你真的相信有神吗?我真的相信,我不能骗你!你真的看透了生死吗?我真的看透!有一天神问我,你愿意为我死吗?我说我愿意,我高兴得直流眼泪!我太感动了!为什么?因我们有一个更美的家乡,更美的应许!只是说我们在这世上还未得着,但是将来一定要得着这个!不得着就未得完全!就算不了什么!什么病得医治了,生意翻转了,这都算不了什么! 就算是拉撒路死了以后复活,他从坟墓出来做见证,这也算不得什么!因为拉撒路又死了一遍!也没有办法活到永远!但是在属灵的世界,拉撒路活到永远!如果我们的盼望还在这世上,你真的没有办法得胜啊!为什么很多癌症病人,怎么弄都好不了,因为他里面装的是一个今生的逻辑体系啊!今天我们弟兄姐妹,要在地上做一个不配有的人! 其实癌症得医治很简单,就是把你里面今生的逻辑体系彻底的干掉,什么也不再惧怕!我告诉你,你活得就老好啦!何必遭这些罪呢!我以前拥有所有鼻咽癌的症状,但是我还活到今天!你问我怎么好的,我祷告好的! 我给大家普及一个科学常识,如果人身上长旮瘩,表面凹凸不平,里面软硬相间,想都不用想,癌症,如果表面平滑,跟鹅卵石似的,那没事。我妈腿上长旮瘩,那是纯祷告干掉的!若是我里面没有得胜的信心,没有看透生死的这种能力,就没有办法帮助我的妈妈。

弟兄姐妹,我们一定要知道,有一个最美好的应许,就是我们离开这个世界之后的事儿。就让我们凭着信心,在这世上信靠神!就算是做了世上的王子,也不在乎王子的位分!也不愿意暂时享受罪中之乐!为耶稣基督所受的凌辱,比埃及的财务更宝贵!因为想要得着的赏赐是天上的赏赐!我告诉你,这些都是世上不配有的人! 我们的核心利益不在世界上,我们就不会参与到那些乱七八糟的事儿里面!我们是按着神在天上的逻辑,活在这个世上!弟兄姐妹我们重新省察一下,省察一下我们是否顺从神的话!如果我们不顺从神的话,就是咒诅!我们我们顺从神的话,就是相信神的话! 有的人连十一奉献这一关都过不了,你根本谈不上是个基督徒!那你要遭的罪,多了去了!我们也遭罪,但是我们遭的罪是有荣耀的!你遭的罪,那是在咒诅当中的!在世上,就看到鬼与你同在,死了以后,就回到鬼那里去! 有一种初级的信心,就是脱了狮子的口,脱离刀剑的锋刃,软弱变为刚强,争战显出勇敢!还有一种高级的信心,就是忍受戏弄,鞭打,捆锁,监禁,被石头打死,被锯锯死,受试探,被刀杀,披着绵羊,山羊的皮,各处奔跑,受穷乏,苦害,在旷野飘流不定,这是世上不配有的人!

一般的人经历了这些,没有办法忍受,我告诉你,如果我们弟兄姐妹有机会忍受这些,你要得着的是何等伟大的应许!如果没有永恒在我们里面,我们怎样奔跑这条路呢?在这样的光景当中,一下子就会跌倒啦!如果你看不透这个世界,你怎么可能经历这些呢?经历这些还不跌倒的人,他的信心是何等的奇妙,何等的伟大! 弟兄姐妹,不要以为你得着了医治是极大的恩典,那的确是恩典,但是为耶稣基督受苦,那才是极大的恩典!因为人的信心正好是在这样的事情上面被印证!在这样的事情上被显明出来!那是神给特别拣选的人所预备的!因为好把荣耀的冠冕赐给他! 我们来看保罗怎么说,我们四面受敌,却不被困住,心里作难,却不至失望!遭逼迫却不被丢弃,打倒了却不至死亡!身上常带着耶稣的死,使耶稣的生也显明在我们身上!所以我们不丧胆,外体虽然毁坏,内心却一天新似一天,我们这至暂至轻的苦楚,要为我们成就极重无比永远的荣耀!原来我们不是顾念所见的,乃是顾念所不见的!因为所见的是暂时的,所不见的是永远的! 我们原知道我们在地上的帐篷若拆毁了,必得神所造,不是人手所造,在天上永存的房屋。我们在这帐篷里叹息,深想得那从天上来的房屋,好像穿上衣服,倘若穿上,被遇见的时候就不至于赤身了。我们在这帐棚里叹息劳苦,并非愿意脱下这个,乃是愿意穿上那个,好叫这必死的被生命吞灭了。为此,培植我们的就是神,他又赐给我们圣灵作凭据。 所以我们时常坦然无惧,并且晓得我们住在身内,便与主相离。因我们行事为人是凭着信心,不是凭着眼见。我们坦然无惧,是更愿意离开身体与主同在。所以,无论是住在身内,离开身外,我们立了志向,要得主的喜悦。因为我们众人必要在基督台前显露出来,叫各人按着本身所行的,或善或恶受报。

听明白了吗?原来基督的爱激励我们,激励我们为神摆上我们的生命。还有什么比这更好?没有任何东西可以比这更好!你如果想在这世上活出神的荣耀,成为这世上不配有的人,重新收拾一下你里面的信心,恢复一个刚强的信仰!我们的盼望,根本就不建立在这世上!如果你把你的盼望建立在这地上,你的钱很重要,你的孩子也很重要,你的生意,你的工作,什么东西都很重要,只有神不重要。 但是对我们这些信靠神的人,什么都不重要,只有神才是最重要的!你能听的懂吗?我巴不得大家都能听的懂,你今天所受的苦,是徒然的吗?不是!是要让你醒过来,让你在这世上,放弃一切属世界的盼望! 弟兄姐妹,我不希望大家在信主的路上,信着信着,却不知道神的心意!有一天离开这个世界,一睁眼,看到的却不是神,看到的是一群魔鬼,你说:诶?我是信耶稣的,我怎么能到这儿来呢?牧师不是告诉我,我可以上天堂吗?我怎么来到这儿了? 我告诉你,这世上如果不看透生和死,不带着永恒的盼望,你没有办法到耶稣那里去。你以为耶稣基督的救恩是廉价的吗?不是!那是耶稣基督的宝血!不管是新约还是旧约,听了神的话就去行的,才是个聪明人!这是耶稣自己说的!弟兄姐妹不要无知!要做一个聪明的人!要行在神的旨意当中,把神的话活出来!那才是最重要的! 你以为新约比旧约标准更低了吗?不是,新约比旧约的标准更高了!新约要求我们把我们自己全然献上,如果你说你不能,你还有这个、那个……那你就试试看吧!如果你抓不住神,你抓住的那些东西又有什么意义呢?

有的人说,听了你这样查《圣经》,我里面控告的声音好大呀!那我给你两个字,活该!谁让你控告了呢?因为你本该就被神的话语刺透,希望你能够醒过来!那不是控告,那是神在责备你!不要再把地上的盼望当作盼望,如果你把世上的盼望当作盼望,那你没有办法拥有永恒的盼望! 不管你刚来,还是来了有一阵子,还是来了很久,我给你一个挑战,你是不是愿意将自己全然摆上?彻底的摧毁属世界的价值体系,在世上可以全然活出神的荣耀!因为耶稣基督给我们开辟的路,是一条完全奉献的路。我见过很多当今的基督徒,很多基督徒都极度自私,你以为他们是爱神吗?他们是爱自己! 咱们弟兄姐妹,仔细省察一下自己的内心,看我们里面是否爱神?看我们里面是否是把这世上的一切都看透了?在财务,工作,孩子,家庭面前,你是否会选择为神而活,为神而死?如果你做不到,那你去跟神说。你如果认为你活的好是因为你的工作,你认为孩子的学校,学历都是很重要,那你就那么去推动,愿神能够怜悯你! 我巴不得大家都能够醒过来,我说的稍微重一点,能不能够开始告诉自己,看哪!这些人都是因信得了美好的证据,却仍未得着所应许的,因为神给我们预备了更美的事儿,叫他们若不与我们同得就未得完全,愿神祝福大家!
