【Bible Study】Hosea Chapter 5 - God's Judgment Will Come Upon You

2023-12-22 3,152 Hosea Hosea Chapter 5 Hosea 5 Judgment from God God's Judgment Upon God's People Adultery Pride

Introduction

Good day to all. Let us examine Hosea, Chapter 5. The overriding theme of this chapter is: Divine judgement shall befall you! While the word judgement does not sound appealing, it is crucial that we fathom its significance. When the scripture says you, is it alluding to us, or is it referring to the Israelites or God's chosen people? Indeed, it is speaking of God’s people, for they have committed adultery, and God’s judgement commences with His very own. The people of God must not be enamoured with the world, for divine judgement is certain to befall those who harbour worldly affections. Does God mete out judgement frequently, both great and small? Indeed, aplenty! Should you doubt this, simply indulge in worldly pursuits or adhere to the world's systems. The moment you err, divine judgement shall be swift and sure! At that juncture, you will find yourself in dire straits, and even fervent prayers may prove ineffectual.

So, what will avail? It is none other than returning to God! We must all repent and turn back to Him! We must recognise that God is a God of judgement, and must refrain from provoking Him repeatedly! Having narrowly escaped death the last time, are you tempted to tempt fate once more? For this final attempt might very well prove to be your undoing, ending your life prematurely. Be that as it may, it hardly makes a difference to God, for generations come and go in His eyes. He is not concerned whether a generation is added or subtracted. God’s judgement shall befall “you”! Who is this you referring to in this context? It points to the Israelites. In our present era, to whom does this you refer? It signifies God’s people within the church.

Divine Judgement Shall Befall the Priests and the Royal House

“Hear this, you priests! Pay attention, you Israelites! Listen, you royal house! This judgement is against you, because you have been a snare at Mizpah, a net spread out on Tabor. (Hosea 5:1)

Upon whom shall God’s judgement descend? The priests, the royalty, and God’s chosen people. If you wield authority, will you oppress the populace? Let me unequivocally state: Even if you are of God’s people, succumbing to worldly logic in your official capacity will inevitably corrupt you into a corrupt official; if you do business you will become a deceitful merchant, and if you are an ordinary citizen you will degenerate into a petty thief. Those who can abuse their power will, and those who can exploit the people will. The sins of such individuals are grievous indeed! Consequently, divine judgement shall befall these transgressors, commencing with the priests of God.

Now you must all aspire to be royal priests, and emphatically not base, ignoble ones. Otherwise, you are in for a rough time. Take heed lest you think: Is there a problem with our church? For we boast perhaps over a hundred thousand congregants! Yet when it comes to sheer numbers, the descendants of the priests and the rest of the Israelites numbered no few either! What does this prove? Absolutely nothing. Life’s path can be exceedingly arduous, and it is impossible to traverse without a heart filled with reverence for God. Why does God proclaim the impending judgement? It is because He desires people to cultivate a fear of God. Yet when sinful urges surge within, all reverence dissipates.

To defy God invites nothing short of one’s demise! Know that not demons but God is the ultimate authority! Cease to believe that you are always in the right, or under the yoke of injustice. We must refrain from narrow minded perception of problems. Realise that one day we will stand to be judged. Without the knowledge of divine judgement, how can we nurture a fear of God? A lack of reverence begets thoughtless words, and when judgement strikes, whence will you seek redress? If judgement has not yet arrived, you still have an opportunity to mend your ways. But once judgement is upon you, the chance is lost. Avoid waiting until judgement descends before admitting your errors, for fervent prayers then will avail thee naught. You plead: O God, heal them. Yet God might retort: It was I who inflicted the illness, and whilst I once extended mercy, they stiffened their necks in defiance.

Before dispensing judgement, has God not repeatedly issued warnings, sounded the trumpet, and blown the horn for all to hear? Will you proceed to test the boundaries? The trumpet has sounded for an extensive period, not merely a year or two but many years. Learn to fear God, knowing that not all apparent gains are truly advantageous. Although your position may allow you to accumulate wealth or profit at the expense of others, God scrutinises the innermost recesses of the hearts of men. He judges them according to their inner thoughts, and His precepts He will surely uphold. He will judge the house of the priest and the king! If you declare, “I am the king, but our Lord Jesus is the King of Kings,” then you shall stand in judgement. For you have embraced worldly affections and are possessed by worldly values!

There are those who desperately seek a position in public service. If you were to ask them why, they might reply, “I aspire to be an official.” Yet while many aspire to officialdom, few seek to genuinely serve the people! What we often hear is: I lack opportunities for corruption at present, but once I ascend the ranks, I shall make use of every advantage! Consequently, with all his cunning and wisdom, he ascends only to be ensnared, exposing his corruption and bribery that leads to his imprisonment at a tender age. Man, fixated upon material gain, fails to ponder the repercussions of acquiring filth. Verily, within him, there is no fear of God! Is it so arduous to trust in Him? Can God not oversee the life of man? Know that to trust in God is the most fortunate thing on earth.

Why does God judge the house of the priest and the king? It is because they seek to minimize effort and maximize gain. Some may object, Who does not share this desire? In truth, only fools believe this to be so. The wise choose to trust in God. If we choose to give continuously, shall we ever be impoverished? Never! Yet some posit, You are not impoverished because you collect tithes. If you harbour such thoughts, refrain from contributing, for the Chinese Mingding Destiny Church exists not to leech off of the populace. It provides wisdom and blesses souls.

If I coveted money, I would incessantly urge contributions. Such a transparent motive would be evident even to stray dogs, how much more so to men! Many of us have come from various other churches, and I surmise that you have witnessed more than I. Yet I believe that winning men is likened to catching fish! I desire not your money, but your souls, to enhance your intrinsic value. That is what I am committed to doing.

God Will Reprove the People of Israel

Divine judgement shall descend upon this world, including even the people of Israel. Indeed it is this way. For whilst the people of Israel are oppressed by priests and officials, they clench their fists in their hearts, vowing: “One day, should I become an official, I shall do likewise.” In time, he genuinely assumes office and establishes a vast real estate empire, adorned with multiple charitably oriented facades, but is corrupt to the bone, such is the essence of man’s iniquity.

Those who clamber up from humble beginnings often possess a deeply rooted wickedness. I do not wish to condemn every member of society, and yet it is evidently so. This cultural ethos permeates every corner of the world. When the people of Israel witness priests, the Israelite kings and officials fleecing the populace, their hearts murmur, O God! I too crave such an opportunity.

Subsequently, it begets countless aspirants to public service, for all desire to be in office. Driven by the world and its enticements, man's heart becomes tainted with evil and the world is filled with violence. Therefore, I implore all of you not to be consumed by the pursuit of wealth. Instead, allow your hears to be converted back to God: all that is meant for you shall be yours, and nothing shall be lacking. Why, then, is the second point aimed at Gods reproof of the people of Israel? Because the collective nation of Israel is infected by the same spirit and cultural values, for they all share these desires.

Zhao Benshan recites a joke about a household with a pig and a donkey. Which should be slaughtered first, the pig or the donkey? Fan Wei suggests, “Slaughter the donkey first.” To which Zhao Benshan replies, “Precisely. The pig would think so too.” While this might provoke discomfort, I sometimes reflect, Are our thoughts akin to those of the pig? Should our thoughts align with that of a pig, woe betide us! In truth, the thoughts of the Israelites were not far removed from that of a pig. For instance, what does a pastor most aspire to witness? He most desires to see every pew within the church filled. This then is to fulfill human consensus, or to fulfil Gods purpose for us? This is challenging. If you scrutinize my scriptural analysis on the web, I would suggest ideas from when I pursued mine.

Trust in God, and building a church requires building it according to Gods own intention. Until now, my requests for church construction have been lowered. Do not presume that lowering requirements will in turn raise attendance. That insults God! Be that pig and donkey may, be that it may: find what it means to think like God. Whatever and whenever I find a pastor I will repeat what I believe is the method of building a church. They respond with dismissal as if I have been silenced out of the gate. To which I reply, How may it not be possible? For my God, all things are possible!

The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. (Matthew 11:5)

Our Lord Jesus has risen from the dead, and He can resurrect others from the dead. Is anything truly impossible? Does He restore sight to the blind? Does He enable the lame and paralyzed to rise and walk? With God, all things are possible! Yet wherein lies the crux of the matter? In the final injunction of this chapter: Man must return to God! Absent man’s return to God, judgement descendeth from on High! Where the blind exist is a testament to Gods Judgement because we surrender to the lies of sin. Past or present car accidents that leave people crippled is none other than divine judgement! Every calamity is a testament to Gods divine Judgement!

Not long ago an earthquake ravaged the countries. Whence did the earthquake come? One may suppose that it was the doing of demons. Yet what is a demon's real capacity? Earthquakes flow from God! On the internet one may verify with images and truth. There are even those who sleep nude running downstairs as disaster strikes. It is often below zero degrees, and even if one avoids death by quake, one will freeze to death regardless.

Our brothers and sisters must realize that within this era compared to any, God is the ultimate steward! From whence does plague emerge? Do not presume it is an act by demons - what is the message by God permitting plague to sweep society? God wishes for humanity to recognize thy own insignificance! When one assumes pride within, a single virus is enough to fell the grandiose. Neither a PhD or advisory role can combat disease!

Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God. A spirit of prostitution is in their heart; they do not acknowledge the LORD. (Hosea 5:4)

Man must return to God! What is Gods rebuke of the Israeli population? Humanity is often filthy with the lack of faith, and lust! The folk who open medicine halls often receive banners from patients, and often it can be inscribed with 'healing hands and lustful heart.' What is the meaning? It emerges out of obstetrics! Take heed in recognising that benevolence of heart and lust is vastly different! Realise that nothing can be hidden from God!

Within Gods Eyes No Intention is Hidden

I know all about Ephraim; Israel is not hidden from me. Ephraim, you have now turned to prostitution; Israel is corrupt. (Hosea 5:3)

Let us heed Gods words: I know all about Ephraim; Israel is not hidden from me. One must reject the idea that one could achieve deeds by stealth, even to God Himself. Before God we are transparent, and there is no concealment of intentions within Gods eyes! Whether you are a priest, a director, a king within Israel, or an ordinary folk, no intention is clandestine before God!

One must not believe that the disasters that fall on you are unjust. Yang Bailao also suffered trials, because he was Yang Bailao. If the situation and power reversed, and Yang Bailao became Huang Shiren, Huang Shiren would likely be even more cruel than Huang Shiren!

The most alarming thing would be if one were to be poor for a long period of time and become wealthy suddenly - it would be the height of disaster!Because no intentions are hidden from Gods eyes! When mans ignorance reaches a certain point, he will ask: where is God and what is God? He believes he is God, and that is why corrupt officials amass so much wealth! They believe no one has intentions and that the devil is in charge. But people are similar, and the actions of the flesh must be treated with the holy spirits actions. A material man is filled with lust, and a love for the world and its actions!

A Love Of Worldly Actions Plagues Man

In some books, Kazuo Inamori and Wang Yangming referred to unity of intention and action when they referenced what man believes and acts upon! And corrupt officials have its own rationale that draws in followers who engage in such actions. The world is filled with rationale and the love for it, so in turn God trades the love for the world with the love for God! The love of God attracts rewards and not the pain of judgement! Judgement even in the final days will turn into that of awards!

How worthwhile is it to the very end if one were to follow the logic and systems of the world? Understand and have it in the heart that only you know what is reasonable and reasonable to the world. But it God is how the church is built. If I use the logic and systems of the world, I will be judged. That day I will have no idea.

Judah’s leaders are like those who move boundary stones. I will pour out my wrath on them like a flood of water. (Hosea 5:10)

If a person is filled with mundane material systems, it would be all for naught! Take for example a man who sneaks up at a boundary stone because it belonged to an orphan child mother - who can twist their arm?

The mother child notices tattoos that strike fear with the blue dragons, white tigers, and the eels. What should the child do? If you have met this person, do you dare provoke him. Let us think, why should he move boundaries? He thinks that it is good that land of his is also his. The pig would think that as well. Understand that material system well used in the word could be used to drive the economy!

And the pots of rice are not edible since people are not working! Yet now if the labour is returned you would not return that. Using selfishness in the world can drive it - and if you grasp this, people would fix!But we can't operate as such as we have in our system to give.

They have been unfaithful to the LORD; they have borne illegitimate children. Now their New Moon festivals will devour them and their fields. (Hosea 5:7)

Ephraim is oppressed, trampled in judgement, intent on pursuing idols. (Hosea 5:11)

Israel and Ephraim turned worldly and are being seized. So man is unknowing! Do we please the members by building a church? Rather it is listening to the word of God! Ephraim is oppressed to hearing the commandments of humans. It is always in the wrong to align with the ideas of others!

In our church, do not label me with various tags. I do not accept that! But regarding listening to God's words, that is for sure! If you say, Pastor, what you said is wrong! God's words say this. Then I will listen to you! Because that is listening to God! If you say, Pastor, you should be a pastor this way. I would think: Isn't this the person I ministered to a few days ago who wanted to jump off the building? How come they are now teaching me how to be a pastor?

I said, Then tell me, how should a pastor be? Actually, he is nothing, just hearsay! I said, How did you know? He said, I read a book that said so. I asked him, Does this book say it right? He said, I don't know if it's right. I said, If you don't know, what are you doing here lecturing me? What exactly is in our heads?

A brother bought a bag of glutinous rice strips, which were a bit curved. Each segment was about two to three inches long, and the thickness was just right. What did it look like? It really looked like human excrement. If someone's head is full of glutinous rice strips, that's enough to suffer! So what exactly is in your head? Therefore, people like to rely on power and talent. This is all strongman logic! All culture is about the love of the world and the things in the world. People are full of this stuff! In Jesus' time, the Pharisees also liked these things. They liked high positions and did not like to serve! So later I learned a lot of lessons from this, and I hope everyone can follow me on this road of service. If you obey people's meaning, you cannot serve!

Some time ago, a child had a fever for more than two weeks. No one could deal with it, nor could they possibly deal with it, because if you obey people's meaning, how can you deal with it? As a result, they couldn't handle this child, so I took over. This child was very willful! Can you control willfulness? The brat dared to act willful with me! I'll give you more than you can handle. After I disciplined him, the child's problem of willfulness was solved, and the fever was gone! I was worried that the child would get a fever again, so I called the next day to ask. I learned that he had not had a fever since then. Because the willfulness was eliminated by me! Why should willfulness be eliminated? Because once a person is willful, there is no difference between them and pigs, donkeys, and cattle. Wouldn't that be stupid? So do you choose to be a pig or a donkey? Neither is good!

Through this matter, I have to teach everyone a lesson. How did you serve these people in the past? Because the things inside were wrong! We must know that we cannot serve according to people's meaning. Is it not Satan to be considerate of people's meaning? Loving the world and the things in the world, the love of the world is in people. No matter how high an official you are, no matter how rich you are, when you come to me, I just want to bless you! I don't want a penny from you, so of course there is no pressure to serve. Eliminate the willfulness that should be eliminated, and fix what should be fixed! If you want me to serve you, I will tell you the truth. If you don't want me to serve you, I will stay as far away as possible. If you don't invite me, I won't care, unless the fever comes back, just keep tossing back and forth like this!

Pride and Falling

I was thinking: So many people love the world. As an observer, what can you observe? One thing is quite interesting, that is, people who love the world can still achieve some extraordinary things! A song has lyrics like this: I love you, love you, love you without end. Where did the love go? It went to the company being listed on the stock market! You might say, They love the world, even to the point of getting the company listed. Their company is so amazing, making so much money! They've cheated all the shareholders! Can loving the world achieve extraordinary things? Do you believe it? Can it be achieved? Yes!

His brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play stringed instruments and pipes. Zillah also had a son, Tubal-Cain, who forged all kinds of tools out of bronze and iron. Tubal-Cain’s sister was Naamah. (Genesis 4:21-22)

This Cain and Cain's descendants, they were pipers and ironsmiths, and they all became the founders of various industries! Aren't they amazing? Can't they achieve extraordinary things? And those who do violence, aren't they skilled in martial arts? Yes! Do you want to do it? If you want to do it, then go ahead! But doing so will cause problems, because people don't understand these things. One day, falling is inevitable, do you believe it?

Do those who love the world and achieve extraordinary things have a good life? Some are like Cain, some are like Lamech, just mentally ill! Some people are arrogant, always thinking they are amazing! Once they encounter difficulties, they feel like the sky is falling. Such a life is not good! Then they feel that everyone wants to harm them, everyone wants to steal their property, everyone wants to take advantage of them. Their hearts are very twisted because they belong to the world!

There is a saying in history: The only thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history. Some attribute this quote to Hegel, but it is not clear whether Hegel actually said it. Ask yourself: Why do we get mental illness and cancer? Why do we achieve extraordinary things and then make ourselves miserable? I don't know, and I've never really understood, but even now, there are still thousands of troops rushing straight down that path!

Is that road of loving the world that good? Why do I feel it's not as good as the road of loving God? How good is the road of loving God! Loving the world brings pride, because what he does, he will think is his own achievement, and he will think he is amazing! Later, someone's body suddenly collapsed. When the stock market was booming, he also rode a horse and made a lot of money, and then he felt he had found the secret. As a result, his investment suffered continuous huge losses, and suddenly he felt that this secret was no longer working!

Know that there is a very wonderful law in this world: what you think works is not actually what works, but what you think works. Once it stops working, you're dumbfounded. Isn't this pride? When a person is proud, they fall, and when they fall, they're done! You can't sleep well, and you can't eat. Isn't this doing something very stupid?

After a person loves the world, once they are proud, they fall and they are done! The Israelites, the Jews, and the current church have many similarities, that is, they achieve an extraordinary thing and then fall! We see a lot of these stories in the news about officials! Israel, Judah, and the current church are no different. In the end, they all become one tragedy after another, which is worth learning from.

There is a very wonderful law in this world, that is, loving the world can achieve some extraordinary things that make you proud, and finally make you fall! That is such a simple principle, so why do you still do it? If you ask me, Why not do it this way? Don't you have a dream? I will tell you: I just don't want to do it this way! I have a dream, but my dream is to do something real.

The people and officials of Judah and Israel are all part of a strongman logic system that loves real money and silver and plunders the people's wealth. That is all a logic system that makes people proud and fall, that is a road to destruction! Now I have told you, after listening, do you still want to take this road? As long as we love God well in this world, we will not be disturbed by the things of this world, nor will we be taken away by the things of this world!

Everyone may find it difficult to understand why God uses the word sexual immorality to describe it. In fact, the word sexual immorality is particularly unpleasant to say, because it will produce passion, and this passion sometimes makes people unable to extricate themselves, so once a person is sexually immoral, he will not only be confused inside, but also have a strange feeling! I have seen this. Sexual immorality is a bit like love, but this love is that he loves someone he shouldn't love!

When I first started building the church, I ministered to a girl who fell in love with a boy. She loved him so much! Later, this girl went crazy. After she entered the mental hospital, it took me a lot of effort to drive the demons out of her, because her whole heart was hollowed out and sucked away. It was very difficult to deal with! Know that sexual immorality is a spiritual matter!

Once people love the world and get caught up in it, they can't get out of it, that is, when people have money, they still want money to make money! You ask him, What do you want that money for? In fact, he can't explain it clearly, but he is caught up in that trap, that passion is in people's hearts, people can't control themselves! Know that the feeling produced by sexual immorality is not very controllable, and these uncontrollable things are quite powerful! So when that strong feeling comes, you can't control it! If you are a girl, you have to find a boy to sleep with. Know that although there is passion in sexual immorality, it is still sexual immorality; although there are some things in sexual immorality that it can achieve, it is still sexual immorality; although sexual immorality can give birth to children, what is born is a hybrid, a descendant of sexual immorality. God will judge such things!

Can we make up our minds and say before God: God! We will be your faithful priests! We no longer love the world, because loving the world is like a pig. There is nothing to love in this world! Because in Jesus Christ, we lack no good things in the love of God! What good does it do us to suffer God's judgment because we love the world? No good!

You Can't Find God by Leading a Cow or a Sheep

Then they will go with their flocks and herds to seek the Lord, but they will not find him; he has withdrawn himself from them. (Hosea 5:6)

Our God is not a God who loves cows and sheep, our God is a God who examines people's hearts! But we think that we can find God by taking a few cows and a few sheep. I think you can find ghosts! So prayer can't solve the problem either. Don't believe in prayer, believe that our hearts are cleansed by the Spirit of God; believe that we are loyal to God in our hearts; believe that we have a heart that loves God and has passion for God! Be mad for the sake of loving God! Why love the world with passion? Then, leading a cow and a sheep, say: I will worship my God Jehovah! You should go find your golden calf! This kind of religious behavior cannot solve the problem of God's judgment.

God examines people's hearts, God will judge people according to what is in their hearts! So religious behavior is not an act of faith, it is disbelief in people's hearts, nor can it be a performance on the outside. For example, some people say: Look, I have taken a cow and a sheep! God! What else do you want me to do? Know that what God wants is your cleansed heart, so cleanse your heart first!

Judgment Comes from God

If people's hearts are full of these things, God will definitely judge! Know that judgment comes from God. Why are there these things? Someone asked: Teacher, just pray for me and it will be over, why so much nonsense! I said: I don't have nonsense! If I don't tell you how dirty your brain is, can I help you? Even if I pray for you, it won't work, and the more you pray, the worse the illness will be! People's self-righteous things and that evil energy in their bones are all running according to the logic system of the world. Can this be good? If God wants to judge you, I say: God! Please heal him. God says: Heal what? His illness is what I gave him. What do you say I should do?

Many times even when I lead everyone in prayer, I feel extremely sad in my heart. What is sad? As soon as I pray, God says: This illness is what I gave him, I made him sick! He has become so muddled, if I don't give him some illness, will he know to repent? What are you praying for? Do you want to oppose me? Then you come and heal him? After I finished listening, I said: God! I can't fix this! So there is only one thing to do, and that is to tell God's judgment to His people! Hosea wants to tell God's judgment to the people of Israel. In fact, there are already signs of God's judgment one after another, but people just turn a blind eye! Ask yourself, which of our problems is not a judgment from God? Do you think it is from the devil? That devil was also sent by God!

Sound the trumpet in Gibeah, the horn in Ramah; raise the battle cry in Beth Aven; after you, Benjamin! (Hosea 5:8)

No matter how the prophets shout, the Israelites all say: Is there such a thing? It shouldn't be! They might even beat up this Hosea! Isn't this because many prophets who came in the Bible were beaten? Even when Jesus came, they killed Him! Darkness cannot bear the light. As soon as the light shines, the filth in people's hearts is revealed! What exactly is in us? Examine carefully, what are we thinking inside? Don't tell me: Teacher, why didn't you tell me earlier? I will ask you: How many times do you want me to tell you?

I am like a moth to Ephraim, like rot to the people of Judah. When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his infection, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to the great king. But he is not able to cure you, not able to heal your infection. For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, like a great lion to Judah. I will tear them to pieces and go away; I will carry off my prey, with no one to rescue it. Then I will return to my place until they admit their guilt and seek my face; in their misery they will earnestly seek me. (Hosea 5:12-15)

Judgment comes from God. This sentence must be deeply remembered in your heart. Remember that it is not from the devil. If you ask: Is there any relationship with the curse of ancestors? The curse of ancestors also comes from God! A silly boy came to me and said: The curse does not come from God! I said: Then does the curse come from you? You are so powerful, do you have the ability to curse? I think this thing is very evil. If the curse does not come from God and the judgment does not come from God, where does it come from? The disease is not given to you by God, who gave it to you? Why can the devil do corrupting work in you? Isn't it because of yourself?

Until You Admit Your Guilt and Seek God's Face

God has opened up a way for us, that is, God will return to His place and wait for us to admit our guilt and seek God's face, so that we can earnestly seek Him in times of trouble! Especially cancer patients should wake up a little! How evil have we become, and still feel that we are good? Start seeking God and be a wise man. In Jesus Christ, we lack no good things!

Some people always want to do less work and get more benefits. For example, a person goes to work in a company, doesn't grow well and doesn't study well, just wants to get more salary, and as a result, the job is messed up. His pastor told me: I tell him all day long how to study, how to grow steadily, and how to continuously create value for the company. He said: That's not okay! As a result, he just plays tricks all day long! Wasn't it God who made you lose your job? He said: Pray for me. What's the use of prayer? When I pray for you, I will say: God! Discipline him heavily again!

People's hearts must be cleansed! You don't know how much pastors desire that everyone can walk on the path of blessing! Sometimes they desire it to a certain extent, they will say: God! He is still so stubborn and self-righteous, give him another stick! Otherwise, people will not wake up! If you understand Hosea's heart, you must deal with yourself little by little. If you don't deal with yourself, God will deal with you. That is God's judgment! If you still feel that you are pretty good, do you think you are pretty good? Your head is full of glutinous rice strips, and you still think you are pretty good? Until you admit your guilt and seek God's face, and compare it with the words of God, you will see your dirt and filth! It is not easy to become a blessing to many people, and it still requires paying a price!

May God bless everyone.

大家好,我们来查《何西阿书》的第五章。这一章的的主题是:神的审判要临到你们!虽然审判这个词不好听,但是我们也得明白它的意思。这里面的你们是指着我们,还是指着以色列人或者神的百姓呢?其实是指着神的百姓!因为他们犯了淫乱的罪,神的审判是从神的百姓开始的。**神的百姓是不能爱世界的,神的审判一定会临到那些爱世界的人**。神大大小小的审判多不多?很多!你要是不信的话可以去爱世界,或者照着属世界的体系去走!你什么时候一犯浑,神的审判什么时候就立刻临到!到那时候可真够你喝一壶的,哪怕你再怎么祷告也都不好使! 那什么东西好使呢?就是回转向神!我们都要悔改归向神! **我们得知道神是一位审判的神,可千万不要一次又一次的冒犯神**!上次你冒着生命的危险差点死掉,这次你还要再试一试吗?可能这一试你就会试过头,然后一辈子就这么完了。其实对神来讲也没啥了不起,因为在神看来一代人过去,一代人又来,神根本不在乎多一代人还是少一代人。神的审判要临到你们!这个你们是谁呢?指的是以色列人。到了我们这个世代,这个你们又是谁呢?指的是教会里神的百姓。

**众祭司啊,要听我的话!以色列家啊,要留心听!王家啊,要侧耳而听!审判要临到你们,因你们在米斯巴如网罗,在他泊山如铺张的网。(《何西阿书》5:1)** 神的审判要临到谁?祭司、王、还有神的百姓。如果你是有权势的人,你会欺压百姓吗?我可以明确地告诉你:就算你是神的百姓,如果你带着属世界的逻辑体系做官,你就会成为贪官;做商人就会成为奸商;做基层的小老百姓就会成为小偷。有了权势能够欺压百姓的就会欺压百姓,能够搜刮民脂民膏的人,就会搜刮民膏,这种人的罪恶是很重的!所以神的审判要临到这些人,这审判是从神的祭司开始的。 现在你们都要做君尊的祭司,千万不要做屌丝一样的祭司,否则就麻烦了。你们不要觉得:我们教会有问题吗?我们教会可是有一万多的会友,甚至是十万多会友的。如果要比人多,以色列祭司家里的人和以色列家里的人也不少!那能说明啥?什么问题也说明不了。**人这一生的路实在太难了,如果里面没有敬畏神的心是走不下去的**。为什么神要宣告祂的审判临到呢?因为神要人有敬畏的心,但是当人里面那股邪劲一上来,什么敬畏的心都没有了。

如果人想跟神较劲就是纯属找死!要知道不是鬼掌权,而是神掌权!不要总以为自已很有理,就觉得不公不义。我们看问题不能太片面,要知道将来我们会遇到审判。如果我们不知道神会审判人,怎么会有敬畏的心?人没有敬畏的心就会信口开河,将来审判临到的时候要上哪说理去?如果审判还没有临到的话,那你还有机会,但是一旦审判临到了就没有机会了。千万不要等到审判临到的时候才说没整对,到了那个时候你祷告再多都是无效的。你说:神啊!求你医治他。神说:是我让他得的病,我曾经怜悯他,但是他却硬着颈项。 神在审判前也不是没有警告、吹角、吹号,人都能听到的。你要不要以身试法呢?神的号已经吹了很久了,那不是一年、两年的时间,而是很多年的时间。**学会敬畏神,要知道不是所有的便宜都能占的**。虽然你站在那个位置上可以搜刮民财或者占人的便宜,**神是鉴察人心的神,祂照着人心里所想的审判人,祂立好了规矩必定会执行,神要审判祭司和王的家**!如果你说:我是王,我们的主耶稣是万王之王。那么被审判的就是你。谁叫你爱世界,装的都是属世界的逻辑体系! 有些人就非常想考公务员。如果你问他啥原因,他说:我想当官。想当官的人多,但想为人民服务的人却很少!我们听到的都是现在咱没有机会贪,等我爬上去了就使劲地贪。结果他用尽了各样的聪明和智慧爬上去,然而却因贪污和受贿露出了马脚,最终年纪轻轻就被关了起来。人就想捞点东西,怎么就不想想捞到屎了该怎么办呢?人里面就是没有敬畏的心。人好好地信靠神有那么难吗?难道神不能够掌管人活着这点事吗?**要知道人信靠神是天底下最幸运的事**。

神为什么要审判祭司和王的家?因为他们就想少干活,多得利益。有人说:谁不想这样?其实只有傻瓜蛋子才会觉得是这样,聪明人都是选择信靠神的。当我们选择不断地给出去时,会穷吗?不会穷!但是有的人说:你没有穷是因为你收奉献了。如果你里面带着这套逻辑就别奉献了,因为咱们华人命定教会是使人变聪明的地方,是祝福人的地方,不是搜刮民脂、民膏的地方。 如果我心里贪钱,我就会不停地鼓动人奉献,这样的想法连路边的狗都知道,谁还会不知道?我们当中有很多人都是从不同的教会来的,我猜你们见到的事情比我见到的多。但我认为得人如得鱼好!我这人不想收钱,只想得着人,使你更有价值,这也是我想尽办法都在做的事。

神的审判要临到这个世界,连以色列百姓也都包括在内。为什么会这样?因为以色列百姓虽然被祭司、官长欺压,但是他们心里的小拳头却握紧了说:将来有一天我做了官,我也这么干。有一天他真的做官了,开了一个很大的房地产企业,还顶着好几个慈善的帽子,但骨子里还是贪,这就是人问题的所在。 凡是从很低层次里爬出来的人,其实骨子里还是很恶的。我不想一杆子打翻全船的人,但好像还真是这样。这个文化体系已经渲染到了世界的每一个角落,当以色列百姓看到祭司和以色列王以及官长搜刮民脂民膏的时候,心里想:神啊!我也想有这样的机会。 后来就有了成千上万要考公务员的人,因为都想做官。为了世界和世界上的事,人的心都充满了邪恶,这个世界充满了强暴。因此我奉劝大家不要满心想钱而被掳去了,要让你的心悔改归向神,该有的你都会有,啥也不会缺。为啥第二点讲神要斥责以色列百姓?因为整个以色列国民全被同一个灵,同一个文化感染了,因为大家都是这么想的。 赵本山讲过一个笑话,就是有一个人家里有一头猪还有一头驴,是先杀猪还是先杀驴呢?范伟就说:先杀驴。赵本山就说:对。猪也是这么想的。听起来可能有点难受,有时候我也在想:咱们的想法是不是和猪一样?如果我们的想法跟猪一样就麻烦了!但事实上以色列人的想法真的跟猪差不多。比如说,一个牧师最希望的是看到啥?最希望看到的就是教会的板凳上都坐满了人。这到底是顺从民意还是顺从神的意思?其实这个问题还是挺挑战的,如果你在网站上听我查这篇查经,我可以给你出个主意,就是我当年做过的。

**信靠神,建造教会一定要照着神的心意去建造**。直到现在,我建造教会的要求也从来没有降低过,你不要以为降低要求人就会多起来,那是得罪神!就算猪和驴都那样想也没用,要知道神是怎么想的。不管什么时候我见到任何一个牧师,我都会跟他们说:应该要这么建造教会。结果他们却说:那不可能!一上来我就被人家给揍了一个闷棍。我就说:怎么就不可能呢?**对我的神来说,凡事都有可能**! **就是瞎子看见,瘸子行走,长大麻风的洁净,聋子听见,死人复活,穷人有福音传给他们。(《马太福音》11:5)** 我们的主耶稣已经从死里复活,祂也能让人从死里复活。哪有什么不可能的事?眼睛瞎的人,祂能使他们看见吗?瘸子和瘫痪的人,祂能使他们起来行走吗?在神凡事都能!可是问题在哪呢?就是这章最后要讲的一点,**人要回转向神!人若不回转向神,所有的审判都是从神来的**!我们看见眼瞎的人,就知道那是从神而来的审判,原因是我们顺从了魔鬼的谎言,所以才成了这个样子!过去或者现在遭遇车祸导致瘫痪在床上,那不是别的,那是神的审判!**这世上发生的一切灾祸都是神的审判**!

前一段时间发生了地震,大家想一想地震是从哪儿来的?你以为地震是鬼干的,但鬼哪有这本事?地震是从神来的!大家在网上可以看到,有图、有真相。甚至还有人裸睡,等地震发生的时候,光着腚就往楼下跑,外面零下十几度,即使没震死也被冻死了! 咱们弟兄姐妹可得知道,我们这个世代和以往任何的一个世代,所有的事情都是神掌管的!瘟疫从哪里来?你以为鬼能干这事?神为什么让瘟疫来?神要让人知道自己很渺小!你不要以为自己很伟大。当你觉得自己很了不起的时候,一个小小的新冠病毒就能让你觉得自己不行。博士学位也挡不住病毒,即使是博士生导师也挡不住病毒! **他们所行的使他们不能归向神;因有淫心在他们里面,他们也不认识耶和华。(《何西阿书》5:4)** 人要回转向神!神为什么要斥责以色列百姓?因为人心太肮脏,没有信心,只有淫心!有人开了医馆,人家送来一面锦旗上面写着四个字:妙手淫心。为什么会这样写?原来是妇科。大家可不要以为是妙手仁心,这仁心和淫心那差距可就大了!**要知道世上一切的事,在神面前无可隐藏**!

**以法莲为我所知;以色列不能向我隐藏。以法莲哪,现在你行淫了,以色列被玷污了。(《何西阿书》5:3)** 大家看看神是怎么说的:以法莲为我所知,以色列不能向我隐藏。千万不要以为你做事人不知鬼不觉,更不要以为神不知鬼不觉。**人在神面前都是透明的!人的心在神面前无可隐藏**!不管你是祭司、官长、以色列的王,还是普通老百姓,人的心在神面前无可隐藏! 你不要以为自己遭了这些罪就觉得冤枉,那都是活该!你说:杨白劳也遭了那么多罪。那是因为他是杨白劳。如果等他翻身做了黄世仁,说不定比黄世仁还黄世仁呢,那就是黄世淫了!那真的是要送给他一面黄世淫的锦旗,只是没有机会而已。 最可怕的就是当人过穷日子过久了,突然间成为爆发户,那后果是相当可怕的!**因为人的心在神面前无可隐藏**!人的无知到了一定的程度,就会认为哪里有神?神是什么?他甚至认为自己就是神,所以这些贪官就使劲的贪,心里就在想:应该没有人知道吧?其实鬼导演这些可厉害了!最后就被抓了,人的心充满了淫乱!大家千万不要以为这东西在某些人身上有,在某些人身上就没有,其实人都是一样的!**只有靠着圣灵治死我们肉体的恶行才行!一个属肉体的人心里就会充满了淫乱,就会爱世界和世界上的事**!

在我们读过的一些书中,稻盛和夫和王阳明讲的知行合一就提到人心里相信什么就做什么!其实贪官有贪官的逻辑,一个爱世界的人,他的心天然的就会带来一系列的行为。其实神就是要把我们里面爱世界的心换成爱神的心!为什么要换成爱神的心?**爱神不受审判!爱神得奖赏**!虽然在末后的日子也受审判,但那是得奖赏! 人要顺着属世界的逻辑体系走到底划不划算?大家心里得有个数。你心里得要知道,如果一个人里面装的是属世界的逻辑体系,会觉得很合理,有谁会把不合理的东西放里面呢?没有人把不合理的东西放里面!人把合理的东西放在里面,但这合理只是合你自己的理和世界的理。如果你问我里面放的是什么理,我放的是神的理!为什么?**如果我用属世界的逻辑体系建造教会,那肯定被神审判**!被审判的日子该怎么过?到那个时候我也不知道该怎么过了!

**犹大的首领如同挪移地界的人,我必将忿怒倒在他们身上,如水一般。(《何西阿书》5:10)** 如果一个人里面装的是属世界的逻辑体系,肯定好不了!举个例子,比如说有的人把地界偷偷地给挪移了,因为隔壁那块地属于一个孤儿寡母的,反正孤儿寡母的胳膊也拧不过大腿,自己家的地界被挪了,也不敢找人算账。 娘儿俩一看那人身上纹的左肩青龙,右肩白虎,腰间还有一条带鱼,往那儿一站看着都吓人,这孤儿寡母的一看这情况,心里想:人家挪了就挪了吧!我们可不敢惹。如果是你遇到这种人,你敢惹吗?不要说你,我也不敢惹,挪了就挪了!我们要想想他为什么要挪呢?因为他觉得那块地要是属于自己该多好,其实不光是他,就连猪也是这么想的!大家可要知道,人里面属世界的体系要是运用好了,还真能把经济搞上去! 以前吃大锅饭那套东西不好使,因为大家都不想干活!即使干完了也不是自己的!那现在干完了都是自己的,你要是让他吐出来可就难了!以前人以为一小部分人富起来,就可以贡献给祖国,如果是那样的话就又会回到吃大锅饭的年代了。所以只有利用人的自私才能搞好经济。如果你把自私这事悟透了,想整你就慢慢地整吧。但是咱们可不能这么做,**因为咱们里面装的是属神的逻辑体系,是为了要给出去!**

**他们向耶和华行事诡诈,生了私子。到了月朔,他们与他们的地业必被吞灭。(《何西阿书》5:7)** **以法莲因乐从人的命令,就受欺压,被审判压碎。(《何西阿书》5:11)** 以色列人和以法莲人都被人玷污了!就是因为被世界上的逻辑体系给霸占了,不但给霸占了,还给人家生孩子了!其实人就是这样无知!我问你:建立教会是要听老百姓的,会友的,还是听神的?当然是要听神的话!所以这才是建立教会的关键所在!**以法莲因乐意听从人的命令,就受欺压,被审判压碎!所以顺从人的意思可坏了!** 在咱们教会当中,你别给我扣各种各样的帽子,我也不接受!但我在听神的话的这件事上,那是肯定的!如果你说:牧师,你说的不对!神的话是这么说的。那我听你的!因为那是听神的!如果你说:牧师,你应该这么做牧师。我就在想:这不是前几天我服侍的那个要跳楼的人吗?怎么现在又来教我要如何做牧师了? 我说:那你说说看,要怎么做牧师?其实他啥也不是,都是道听途说的!我说:你是怎么知道的?他说:我读了一本书是这么说的。我问他:那这书说得对吗?他说:我也不知道对不对。我说:那你不知道,你到我这里比划啥呢?我们人脑袋里面装的到底都是些什么呢?

有个弟兄买了一包江米条,这江米条还有点弯,每段大概就两三寸长短,粗细也挺合适,看着像什么?看着还真像人中黄。如果人满脑子装的是江米条也够受的!那你满脑子装的到底是什么?所以人就是喜欢靠势力、才能,这都是强人逻辑!所有的文化就是爱世界和世界上的事,人里面全是这一套!到了耶稣年间,法利赛人也喜欢这些东西,就喜欢高位,不喜欢服侍!所以后来我在这里面学到了很多功课,我就希望大家能跟我走这条服侍的路。**如果你顺从人的意思,你没法服侍**! 前一段时间,有个小孩发烧了两个多礼拜,来来去去谁也搞不定,也不可能搞定,因为顺从人的意思,怎么可能搞定?结果他们整不了这小孩,我就接过来整,这小孩可任性了!任性你能管得了吗?臭小子竟敢到我这里耍任性!我让你吃不完兜着走,经过我一番修理后,小孩任性的问题解决了,发烧也好了!我担心小孩会再烧起来,第二天就打电话去问,得知从那以后他就没有再烧了。因为任性这东西被我给干掉了!为什么要把任性干掉?因为人一任性,就跟猪、驴、牛没什么区别,那不就傻掉了吗?所以你要选择做猪,还是做驴?选哪个都不好! 通过这件事,我得要让大家学一个功课,过去你们服侍这些人是怎么服侍的?因为里面装的东西不对!咱们要知道,不能照着人的意思服侍,体贴人的意思那不是撒但吗?爱世界和世界上的事,爱世界的心就在人里面。不管你做多大的官,也不管你多么有钱,到我这里来,我只想祝福你!我也不图你一毛钱,服侍起来当然不会有压力,把任性该干掉干掉,该整啥整啥!如果你要让我服侍,我就把真话告诉你,如果你不愿意我来服侍你,我能躲多远就躲多远。你不邀请我,我也不管,除非是发烧又回来了,就这么来来回回地折腾!

我就在想:这么多人爱世界,作为一个旁观者,你能观察到什么呢?有一件事挺有意思的,就是爱世界的人还是可以成就一些很非凡的事!有一首歌的歌词是这样写的:对你爱、爱、爱不完,结果爱到哪里去了?爱到公司上市了!你会说:人家爱世界,都爱到把公司整上市了,人家公司可太厉害了,挣老多钱了!把股民都给坑了!爱世界能成就非凡的事,你信不信?能不能成就?能! **雅八的兄弟名叫犹八,他是一切弹琴吹箫之人的祖师。洗拉又生了土八该隐,他是打造各样铜铁利器的。土八该隐的妹子是拿玛。(《创世记》4:21-22)** 这个该隐和该隐的后代,他们是吹箫的、打铁的,都成了各行各业的祖师!能不厉害吗?能不成就非凡的事吗?还有那些行强暴的人,武功高不高?高!你想做吗?想做的话,那你就去做呗!但这样做会出问题的,因为人对这些事不了解,总有一天会跌倒是必然的,你信不信?

爱世界,成就非凡事的那些人,他们的日子好过吗?有的像该隐、有的像拉麦,就是个精神病!有的人还趾高气昂,总觉得自己可了不起了!一旦遇到困难就觉得天要塌了似的,这样的日子不好过!然后就觉得谁都要害他,谁都要抢他的财产,谁都要占他的便宜,心里头是很扭曲的,因为属世界! 历史上有句话:从历史中唯一能够吸取的教训就是,没有人能够真正学到任何教训!有人将这句话归于黑格尔,但并不清楚黑格尔是否真的说过。要问问自己:我们为什么要得精神病和癌症?我们为什么要成就非凡的事,然后把自己搞得很惨呢?我是不知道,我也一直都不太理解,直到现在还有千军万马在往那条路上直奔! 那条爱世界的路有那么好吗?我怎么就觉得比不上爱神这条路好呢?爱神这条路多好啊!爱世界就会带来骄傲,因为他所做的事,会认为是自己的成就,就觉得自己了不起!后来有个人的身体一下子就垮了,他在股市万马奔腾的时候,也骑了一匹马赚了很多钱,然后觉得自己找到了秘诀。结果他的投资遭受了连续巨大的损失,突然间他觉得这秘诀也不好使了!

要知道在这世界上有一个非常奇妙的规律:就是你以为好使的,其实不是它好使,而是你以为它好使,一旦它不再好使就傻眼了,这不就是骄傲吗?**人一骄傲就跌倒,一跌倒就完蛋**!你睡不好觉,也吃不下饭,这不就是干了一件很愚蠢的事吗? 人爱世界后,人一旦骄傲就跌倒就完蛋了!以色列人、犹大人和现在的教会都有很多相似之处,就是成就了一件非凡的事,然后就跌倒了!我们在新闻里看这官场上的故事老多了!以色列、犹大和现在的教会没有两样,最后都成了一桩又一桩的悲剧,值得我们借鉴。 **这世界上有一个很奇妙的规律,就是爱世界可以成就一些非凡的事让你骄傲,最后让你跌倒!**就是这么简单的道理,那你为什么还干呢?如果你问我:为什么不这么干?你不是有梦想吗?我就告诉你:我就不想这么干!我是有梦想,但是我的梦想是做点实在的。 **犹大、以色列的百姓和官长们全都是一套爱真金白银、收刮民财这种强人的逻辑体系,那都是让人骄傲和跌倒的逻辑体系,那是一条灭亡之路**!现在我告诉了你,你听完后还要走这条路吗?我们只要**在这世上好好地爱神,就不会被这世上的东西所搅扰,也就不会被这个世上的东西所掳去!**

大家可能很难理解,为什么神要用淫乱这个词来描述呢?其实淫乱这个词讲起来特别地难听,因为它会产生激情,而这种激情有时候让人不能自拔,所以人一旦淫乱了,他里面不但会混乱,还连带着一种很奇怪的感觉!这事我是见过的。淫乱有点像爱情,但是这种爱情却是他爱了不该爱的! 我在最早建教会的时候服侍过一个女孩,她爱上了一个男孩,那是爱得不得了!后来这个女孩疯掉了。她进了精神病院以后,我费了九牛二虎之力才把她身上的鬼给赶出去,因为她整个人的心都被挖空了,都被吸过去了,很不好整!要知道淫乱这东西是个属灵的事! 人爱世界,一旦上了套以后就解不开了,就是人有钱了还想钱生钱!你问他:要那些钱干什么?其实他也说不清楚,但是他就上了那个套,那种激情在人的里面,人就掌管不了自己!要知道淫乱所产生的感觉是不太受控制的,这种不太受控制的东西都挺厉害的!所以那种强烈的感觉临到的时候,你就会控制不住!如果你是个女孩就非得找一个男孩睡觉。要知道淫乱里面虽然有激情,但它仍旧是淫乱;淫乱里面虽然有一些东西它可以成就,但它仍然是淫乱;淫乱虽然可以生孩子,但生出来的却是个杂种,是个淫乱的后代,这样的事神必审判! 我们能不能横下一条心,在神面前说:神啊!我们就要做你忠心的祭司!我们不再爱世界,因为爱世界就会像猪一样,这世界没什么好爱的!因为我们在耶稣基督里,在爱神的里面什么好处都不缺!我们因爱世界而遭受神的审判有什么好处吗?没什么好处!

**他们必牵着牛羊去寻求耶和华,却寻不见;他已经转去离开他们。(《何西阿书》5:6)** 我们的神不是爱牛,爱羊的神,我们的神是鉴查人心的神!我们却以为拿几只牛,几只羊就能找到神。我看你能找到鬼!所以祷告也解决不了问题,别相信祷告,要相信我们的心被神的灵洁净;相信我们的里面对神忠心;相信我们里面是一颗爱神的心,对神有激情!因为爱神的缘故而癫狂!为什么爱世界要爱到有激情?然后牵着牛、牵着羊说:我要去敬拜我的耶和华神!你还是找你的金牛犊子去吧!这种宗教的行为解决不了神审判的问题。 神鉴查人的心,神要照着人心里面的东西审判人!所以宗教行为不是一个信心的作为,是人心里不信,也不能是行为上的表现。比如有的人说:你看我都牵牛了、牵羊了!神啊!你还要我怎样呢?要知道神要的是你洁净的心,所以先把你的心洁净了!

如果人心里装的都是这些东西,神肯定要审判!要知道审判是从神来的,为什么有这些东西?有人问:老师,你给我祷告就完了,哪有那么多废话!我说:我没有废话!如果我不告诉你脑子里有多肮脏,我能帮助到你吗?即使给你祷告了也不好使,而且祷告越多病越重!人自以为是的东西还有骨子里那种邪性的劲,都是按照属世界的逻辑体系奔跑,这好得了吗?如果神要审判你,我说:神啊!,求你医治他。神说:医治什么?他的病就是我给的。你说我要怎么整? 很多时候即使我带着大家祷告,但是我的心里却极其难过,难过啥呢?我一祷告,神就说:这病是我给的,是我让他病的!他已经浑到这种地步了,我不给他点疾病能知道悔改吗?你还祷告啥呢?你要跟我作对吗?那你来医治他?我听完了以后就说:神啊!我整不了这个!所以只能干一件事就是把神的审判告诉祂的百姓!何西阿要把神的审判告诉以色列百姓,其实不是没有迹象,是已经有了一件又一件神审判的迹象了,但是人们就是视而不见!试问咱们身上的哪一样问题不是从神来的审判?你以为是从鬼来的?那个鬼也是神派来的! **你们当在基比亚吹角,在拉玛吹号,在伯亚文吹出大声,说:便雅悯哪,有仇敌在你后头!(《何西阿书 》5:8 )** 不管先知怎么呐喊,以色列人都说:有这事吗?应该不会吧!他们可能还把这何西阿给揍了一顿!这不是《圣经》中很多先知来了都挨揍了吗?就是耶稣来了他们也把祂给杀了!**黑暗承受不了光,只要光一照,人心里的那些肮脏污秽就都显现出来了**!我们里面的东西到底是个啥?仔细省察一下,我们里面想的是啥?千万不要告诉我说:老师,你怎么不早告诉我?我就问你:你要我告诉你多少次呢?

**我使以法莲如虫蛀之物,使犹大家如朽烂之木。以法莲见自己有病,犹大见自己有伤,他们就打发人往亚述去见耶雷布王,他却不能医治你们,不能治好你们的伤。我必向以法莲如狮子,向犹大家如少壮狮子。我必撕裂而去,我要夺去,无人搭救。我要回到原处,等他们自觉有罪(或译:承认己罪),寻求我面;他们在急难的时候必切切寻求我。(《何西阿书》 5:12-15 )** 审判是从神来的,这句话一定要深深地记在心里,记住那不是从鬼来的。如果你问:跟祖先的咒诅有没有关系?祖先的咒诅也是从神来的!有一个傻小子来跟我说:咒诅不是从神来的!我说:那咒诅是从你来的吗?你那么厉害,有那本事咒诅?我就觉得这东西很邪性,如果咒诅不是从神来的、审判不是从神来的,那是从哪来的?疾病不是神给你的,那是谁给你的?鬼为什么可以在你身上做败坏的的工作?难道不是因为你自己吗?

神给我们开辟了一条路,就是神要回到祂的原处,等待我们自觉有罪,寻求神的面,好在急难的时候切切寻求神!尤其是癌症患者要稍微醒悟过来!我们已经恶到什么程度了,还在那里觉得自己不错?开始寻求神,做一个聪明人,在耶稣基督里什么好处都不缺! 有的人总想少干活多得好处。比如说,有个人去到一家企业里上班,不好好地成长也不好好的学习,就想多拿薪水,结果把工作都给混没了。他的牧者跟我说:我整天告诉他要怎么学习、要脚踏实地的成长、要不断的给公司创造价值。他却说:那不行!结果整天就玩虚的!你没工作难道不是神使你没工作的?他说:你为我祷告。其实祷告有啥用?我为你祷告的时候,我就会这样说:神啊!重重地再管教他一把! 人的心里头要洁净!你们不知道牧者心里是多么渴望大家都能走上蒙福的路!有的时候都渴望到一定程度,就会说:神啊!他还是那么刚硬 、倔强,还是那么自以为是,再给他一棍子吧!不然人不会清醒!如果你听明白了何西阿的心里话,就要一点一点地去对付自己,你不对付自己,神就要对付你,那是神的审判!如果你还觉得自己挺不错的,你觉得不错就不错了?满脑子江米条,还觉得自己不错?直到你自觉有罪来寻求神的面,和神的话一对照,就看到自己的肮脏和污秽!要成为很多人的祝福是不容易的,那还是要付代价的! 愿神祝福大家。
