罗马八章28节

罗马八章28节 “還有，我們曉得萬有都互相效力，叫愛神的人得益處，就是按祂旨意被召的人。”

这里的益处不是指物质的人事物，乃是更多得着基督作到我们里面，使我们有新陈代谢的变化，至终模成神长子的形象，也就是将我们带进完满的儿子名分里。

[神在那里作的时候，我们可能叫自己得益处，也可能拦阻那一个益处。这与我们的态度有很大的关系。那一个益处得着得早或迟，都在于我们自己的态度如何。我们如果是爱神的，那就一切出于神的都是使我们得益处的。

我们遇见事情的时候，如果我们里面不爱神，倒是为着自己有寻求，为着自己有欲望，在神之外还有自己其他的兴趣，那么神所要给我们的益处就要耽搁了。我们对于许多事情，就会又不平，又不服，又埋怨，又叹息。我们需要记得，虽然万有都互相效力，可是因为我们的心不爱神，我们就不能立刻得着益处。因此有许多神的儿女的的确确遭遇了许多事，但是他们并没有得着什么益处。有很多的管治在他们身上，有很多安排在他们身上，但是他们没有得着丰富的结果。这没有别的原因，这是因为他们在神之外有其他的目的，他们在神面前的心不是柔软的，不觉得神的爱，所以也不爱神。因为他们的态度不对，所以即使受了许多对付，但在灵里并没有留下什么东西。

认识神的路是在爱上。{诗歌366:你若要得着神，切勿跟从智慧；『爱』是最短路径，使你免去纡回。。。}

求神怜悯我们，使我们一信主就从心里学习爱神。如果我们真的爱神，不论遇见什么事，都要变成我们的益处。] -为着身体生活在生命里得救而在生命中作王（晨兴圣言）

2005年三个月训练

下午在youtube竟然找到三个月训练的video.看了有很深的感觉。看看以往一起受训的同伴们，有种难以形容的感觉。。有些软弱了，有些在职了，有些大专训练还一起受训的，有些毕业了将要进两年全时间训练而还有些正在参加两年全时间训练。。。无论我们在哪里，处在什么情形中，都是神在创立世界以前就已经拣选并预定了我们，把我们摆在这训练中使我们模成他长子的形象，以完成他的定旨。罗马书八章29节 “因为神所预知的人，他也预定他们模成神儿子的形象。。。”（8章29節 註2 ：神豫定我們，目的不是僅僅要我們聖別、屬靈、得勝，乃是要我們模成祂兒子的形像。這是我們的定命，是神在已過的永遠所決定的。）

神永远的定旨就是要得着一个团体人彰显并代表他。我宝贝我们的神是一个有定旨的神，神自己就是这定旨的起始，来源与范围，没有什么能推翻这定旨，万有都为这定旨效力。今天神不仅救我们来享受他的福，更以圣召召我们，为要完成他的定旨。所以我们的被造乃是为着神的定旨的完成。

罗马书八章38-39节 “因為我深信，無論是死，是生，是天使，是掌權的，是現今的事，是要來的事，是有能的，是高，是深，或是別的受造之物，都不能叫我們與神的愛隔絕，這愛是在我們的主基督耶穌裡的。” （8章39節 註1 ：神的愛是祂永遠救恩的源頭。這愛乃是在基督裡，由聖靈澆灌在我們心裡的，甚麼都不能叫我們與神這愛隔絕。這愛在神的救恩裡，成了基督對我們的愛，經過基督的恩，為我們作了許多奇妙的事，直到在我們身上完成神完整的救恩。這許多奇妙的事，惹起神的仇敵，用種種苦難災害攻擊我們。但這些攻擊，因著我們對神在基督裡之愛的響應，都成了我們的益處。因此，我們在這一切苦難災害上，都是得勝有餘的。）

罗马书九章16节 “。。這不在於那定意的，也不在於那奔跑的，只在於那施憐憫的神。” 是主的怜悯，我今天还能留在召会生活中。

主啊，我爱你！

托付 - FTTB第十期毕业诗歌

神圣的经纶，奥秘的启示；在我们灵里，
神儿子是生命实际；见时代异象—神的福音：
罪人成神众子构成基督身体；神圣的托付，
成我们今生使命；在灵里事奉同心带进新的复兴。
（副）
愿一生作主俘虏，忠信于你托付；
献身体为活祭，成神经纶出路；
扩展神国栽种召会树，成为万邦的祝福，
竭力奔跑赛程，完成神圣托付。

极大的怜悯，带我来此间；有分祂托付，
接受这国度的操练；虽时感无力—祂加恩典：
慈绳爱索牵引使我步步往前；享洋溢之恩，
洋溢之义的恩赐；借耶稣基督得以在生命中作王。

亲爱的救主，你死与复活；争战日子里，
我们起来解你干渴；今打破玉瓶—倾倒香膏：
为主全然浇上我的一切珍宝；过帐棚生活，
作福音勤奋祭司；普及耶稣的见证催促主的再来。

佳偶的歌

你的愛和你美麗自己，吸引我快跑跟隨你。
我重生進你內室，蒙你餧養到永世。

（副）良人阿！我只屬於你。佳偶阿！你何等美麗。
你我生命、性情是一，愛裡聯結永不分離。

因你，我得有聖別性情，我美麗來自你生命。
得更新順從聽命，同良人躥山越嶺。

單一裡注視你如良鴿，荊棘中信靠如百合。
被變化，得你建造，成為你安息、喜樂。

在田間隨你往前腳蹤，願一生愛你而同工。
作王女，滿你情衷，更巴望被提得榮。

（副）請將我銘刻你心上，因你愛如死之堅強。
朝思暮想，良人，我王，願你快來，香草山上！


主啊，愿你吸引我，使我快跑跟随你！

Setting the Mind on the Spirit by Prayer

In order to set our being on the mingled spirit, we need to pray. How easily we are distracted from the divine Spirit in our spirit! Our mind is so quickly drawn to other things. Therefore, we need to pray, not mainly to ask the Lord to do things for us, but to keep our mind set on the spirit. Be assured, the Lord will take care of you and do everything for you. Hence, in prayer you need not be occupied with your needs. Instead, pray to keep in touch with the living One in your spirit. The more you keep in contact with Him, the more you will enjoy Him. Do not pray about your need for love or patience. Our experience proves that the more we pray about such things, the more we are distracted from the mingled spirit and the less we abide in Christ. We should simply praise the Lord that He is our love, our patience, and our everything. If we praise Him in this way, declaring how good the Lord is, spontaneously love and patience will flow out of us, whether we are conscious of it or not. Others will be surprised at the change in us. They will not see the temporary results of our own efforts, but they will see Christ as the life-giving Spirit being lived out of us. The more we set our mind on the living One in our spirit, the more He lives Himself out of us. This is the Christian life. This is the way to a life of holiness and victory. Let us forget systems and methods and instead turn to the living Person within us and set our mind on Him. He is waiting for us to do this. This is the way to abide in Him.

(Lifestudy of Romans)

Last night I was bothered by some of the matters in sis house. But thanks the Lord , He gave me 应时的话 through the lifestudy of Romans. Previously, in my prayer I will alway ask Him to do the things for me and in this matter I prayed to the Lord that I need more of His patience and love...But after reading this message, I was enlightened. I see that I should simply praise Him for He is my love and patience, setting my mind on the mingled spirit.....I do not need to do anything by my own effort but abide in Him because He know every single things and He will take care of it. This message really comforts and supplies me!

Light Arising from Consecration to God

-The message was extracted from emanna-

John 7:17 If anyone resolves to do His will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself. (18) He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of Him who sent Him, this One is true, and unrighteousness is not in Him.

Some may ask: “Why is it that others can have the light, but I do not have the light?” According to the story of Samson, whenever his hair was shaved, his power was gone, and he lost his eyes (Judg. 16:20-21). We do not have the light and we are blind because we do not have a thorough consecration. The Lord said, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The lamp of the body is the eye. But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be dark. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!” (Matt. 6:21-23). The degree to which our heart is turned to the Lord determines the degree to which our spiritual eyes are opened within. God's children do not have light because they do not have a heart for God. They do not have power because their consecration is too little. When our heart is not turned to God sufficiently, when our consecration is inadequate, and when we do not answer God's demand completely, God cannot get through in us. If our consecration is thorough, it will bring in spiritual riches and heavenly blessings. I believe that when all the brothers and sisters are for the Lord and are thoroughly consecrated, the gospel will be preached everywhere and heavenly blessings will pour down everywhere.

Brothers and sisters, there is no other way to genuine power, light, and heavenly riches except through answering God's demand. The amount of consecration we have to God determines the amount of power we have from God. May we not hinder Him. In order for God to have a way, our heart must be turned toward Him; we must answer His demand and allow Him to flow through us. Otherwise, we will only hinder our God. God desires that we turn our heart to Him and answer His demand. In His work God needs man. If we do not answer His demand, He will have to find someone else to answer Him and carry out His will. May God strengthen our aspiration toward Him, and may His will be carried out through us.

May the Lord make me a person who open thoroughly to Him and answer His demand that His will may be carried out. If we do not answer His demand, He will raise up someone else to carry out His will !!!

For us = used to perfect us

1Cor. 3:21-23 "So then let no one boast in men, for all things are yours. Whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come; all are yours, But you are Christ's, and Christ is God's."

According to these verses, not only the spiritual giants are for us, but all things including negative things such as the world and death, are for us. This means that even the world and death can work good for us.

For us = used to perfect us

Have you ever realised that the negative condition of the church in your locality is yours and that it works good for you? Do not feel that the church in your locality is not the right place for you. Even if the condition of your church is poor, God still uses that church to perfect you. He uses a church which does not satisfy you to work good for you. This means that you need this kind of church. We all must see that the condition of the church in our locality is ours, and is for us. No matter where you may be, the church is yours, and God uses that church to perfect you.

Praise the Lord! God uses everything to perfect us. God uses everything to perfect us so that we may be the living Body of Christ. Therefore, we are the Body for Christ, and Christ is the expression of God. Thus, Christ is for God. God is expressed through Christ, Christ is expressed through us, and we are perfected through all things. We need to receive what God has ordained and acknowledge that it is being used by Him to perfect us. How blessed we are to be perfected by all things!

Since all things are ours and work for us, we should not be so foolish as to have personal preferences and choices. If we see this, we will not be so limited as thinking only a certain things, matters or persons can perfect us or we are open to, fellowship or pray with. All things are ours and work for us. God is manifested through Christ, Christ is expressed through us, and we are perfected by all things. As long as we love the Lord, you may have the assurance that He is using everything to perfect you.

Therefore, all things are ours for the church, the church is for Christ to be His Body, and Christ is for God to be His expression.

(LifeStudy 1 Corinthians Chap. 33)


Thanks, sis Frinny for sharing this message! It's really encouraging.
Not only positive things is for me but also the negative things in the church are for me which is to perfect me.
Lord, I OPEN myself to You !
