在禱告中經歷家的實際

Experiencing the reality of the family of God  in Prayers

我們的身份

Our identity

--

因為凡被　神的靈引導的，都是　神的兒子。 你們所受的，不是奴僕的心，仍舊害怕；所受的，乃是兒子的心，因此我們呼叫：“阿爸！父！” 聖靈與我們的心同證我們是　神的兒女； 既是兒女，便是後嗣，就是　神的後嗣，和基督同作後嗣。如果我們和他一同受苦，也必和他一同得榮耀。(羅馬書8:14-17 和合本)

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” ...(Romans8:14-17 ESV)

--

The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. (Romans8:14-17 ESV)

配合基督治理神的家的品格

The characters needed to let Christ lead God’s family

但基督為兒子，治理　神的家；我們若將可誇的盼望和膽量堅持到底，便是他的家了。(希伯來書3:6 和合本)

but Christ is faithful over God’s house as a son. And we are his house, if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.(Hebrews3:6 ESV)

我又告訴你們，你們祈求，就給你們；尋找，就尋見；叩門，就給你們開門。 因為，凡祈求的，就得著；尋找的，就尋見；叩門的，就給他開門。 你們中間作父親的，誰有兒子求餅，反給他石頭呢？求魚，反拿蛇當魚給他呢？ 求雞蛋，反給他蠍子呢？ 你們雖然不好，尚且知道拿好東西給兒女；何況天父，豈不更將聖靈給求他的人嗎？”(路加福音11:9-13 和合本)

And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; ...(Luke11:9-13 ESV)

or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”(Luke11:9-13 ESV)

盼望不至於羞恥，因為所賜給我們的聖靈將　神的愛澆灌在我們心裡。 (羅馬書5:5 和合本)

and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. (Romans5:5 ESV)

活在對的次序當中

Live under the right priority

所以，不要憂慮說，吃什麼？喝什麼？穿什麼？ 這都是外邦人所求的。你們需用的這一切東西，你們的天父是知道的。 你們要先求他的國和他的義，這些東西都要加給你們了。 所以，不要為明天憂慮，因為明天自有明天的憂慮；一天的難處一天當就夠了。”(馬太福音6:31-34 和合本)

--

Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. ...(Matthew6:31-34 ESV)

--

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.(Matthew6:31-34 ESV)

在禱告中經歷神的三個階段

Three stages in experiencing God in prayer

應當一無掛慮，只要凡事藉著禱告、祈求，和感謝，將你們所要的告訴　神。 　神所賜出人意外的平安必在基督耶穌里保守你們的心懷意念。(腓立比書4:6-7 和合本)

--

do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians4:6-7 ESV)

我們的責任——按正路而行

our responsibility——orders our ways rightly

凡以感謝獻上為祭的便是榮耀我；那按正路而行的，我必使他得著我的救恩。(詩篇50:23 和合本)

The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me; to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God!”(Psalms50:23 ESV)
