2009年11月8日主日聚會---活潑的盼望---思唸上麪的事（七） 講員：陳瑞曾牧師 讀經： 歌羅西3:1  所以你們若真與基督一同復活, 就當求在上麪的事.那裡有基督坐在神的右邊.  你們要思唸上麪的事, 不要思唸地上的事.3  因為你們已經死了, 你們的生命與基督一同藏在神裡麪.4  基督是我們的生命, 他顯現的時候, 你們也要與他一同顯現在榮耀裡 路加 10:22   一切所有的, 都是我父交付我的. 除了父, 沒有人知道子是誰.除了子和子願意指示的, 沒有人知道父是誰. 林前2：9-13如經上所記,[神為愛他的人所豫備的, 是眼睛未曾看見, 耳朵未曾聽見,人心也未曾想到的.2:10   衹有神藉著聖靈曏我們顯明了. 因為聖靈滲透萬事,就是神深奧的事也滲透了.11   除了在人裡頭的靈, 誰知道人的事. 像這樣, 除了神的靈,也沒有人知道神的事.12   我們所領受的, 並不是世上的靈, 迺是從神來的靈, 叫我們能知道，開恩賜給我們的事. 13   並且我們講說這些事, 不是用人智慧所指教的言語, 迺是用聖靈所指教的言語, 將屬靈的話, 解釋屬靈的事 約珥2:28以後, 我要將我的靈澆灌凡有血氣的. 你們的兒女要說豫言.你們的老年人要作異夢. 少年人要見異象.29   在那些日子, 我要將我的靈澆灌我的僕人和使女. 林前10:13 你們所遇見的試探, 無非是人所能受的. 神是信實的,必不叫你們受試探過於所能受的. 在受試探的時候,總要給你們開一條出路, 叫你們能忍受得住.   信息大綱： 兩種事                 地上的事                                 天然人容易思想進如                                 天然人容易受吸引                                 刻變時反---所以人容易受影響                 天上的事                                 天然人無法進入，衹有在基督裡的人能進入---除了子和子願意指示的, 沒有人知道父是誰.                                 屬霛的人受吸引—聖霛來要引導我們進入明白一切的真理                                 永不改變---所以人能完全信靠                 在神的計劃儅中天上的事最後要彰顯在地上                                 神的帳幕在人間. 他要與人同住（啓示21：3）                                 認識耶和華榮耀的知識要遍滿這地好像水充滿海洋一樣（哈巴穀2：14） 思唸上麪的事 像他那樣聽，像他那樣說，完全像他---加利利人耶穌 思唸上麪的事叫我們更多聯於耶穌 聖霛的澆灌讓我們思唸上麪的事----我要將我的靈澆灌我的僕人和使女 神借著異相異夢和預言幫助我們思唸上麪的事 神借著聖經的話幫助我們思唸上麪的事 神借著難処叫我們思唸天上的事 因著常思唸他，我們在肉身中看到的他和在榮耀裡看見的他是相同的 思唸天上事的益処                 預備好迎接基督的降臨                 幫助我們越過地上刻變時反的變化                 幫助我們從永遠看今天   2009 Travis Christian Assembly Sunday Service November 8th, 2008 Theme:  Living Hope- Seek things that are above Speaker: Pastor Ray Chen   Bible reading: Col.3：1If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Luke10：22All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.” 1Co. 9： 9But, as it is written,  “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,  nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him” 10these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. 11For who knows a person’s thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 13And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.£ Joel2：28 £    “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh;  your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. 29    Even on the male and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit. 1Co.10 13No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. Outline: Distinction of two things---heavenly and earthly             Earthly things                         It is easy to engage and to enter with our natural ability                         It is attractive to our flesh                         Keep changing constantly             Heavenly Things                         Our flesh cannot enter but only the ones that are in Christ Attractive to spiritual man---Holy Spirit comes and leads us to experience all truth                         Never change---We shall trust and obey                         In God’s plan, heavenly things will be demonstrated on earth                         Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man (rev. 21:3)                         The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. (Hab.2:14) Seek the things that are above               Leads us to speak, to view and to listen like Jesus               So that we can fully united with Christ               The filling of the Holy Spirit helps us to see things above               Through divine dream, vision and prophetic words to help us seek things above               The word of God helps us to seek things above               The trials on earth boost us to seek things above               Through constantly seeking things above, we shall see Him as He is The benefits of seeking things above               Get ready to welcome the 2nd coming of Christ               Help us to maintain a constant momentum to move forward in the heavenly way               Help us to see today from eternity
