隔離-黃志明牧師

馬太福音 Matthew 6:6 你祷告的时候，要进你的内屋，关上门，祷告你在暗中的父。你父在暗中察看，必然报答你。

But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

"Go into the room" signifies entering into the depth of our spirit

有深度的禱告，必需要操練

反敗為勝-余牧師

詩篇 57:1-11

1. 投靠（躲）在神的懷中

57:1 神啊，求你怜悯我，怜悯我！因为我的心投靠你。我要投靠在你翅膀的荫下，等到灾害过去。

Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for in you my soul takes refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.

不要走在神的前面

找個地方躲起來

Hide in God's presence.

不動：不要用你的手去反擊。

不說：你不說話上帝就說話。

不看：眼睛閉起來就不會怕。

不聽：外邊說什麼通通不聽。

2. 堅定在神的應許中

57:2 我要求告至高的　神，就是為我成全諸事的　神。

I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fulfills [his purpose] for me.

57:3 那要吞我的人辱罵我的時候，　神從天上必施恩救我，也必向我發出慈愛和誠實。

He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me; Selah God sends his love and his faithfulness.

57:4 我的性命在獅子中間，我躺臥在性如烈火的世人當中。他們的牙齒是槍、箭，他們的舌頭是快刀。

I am in the midst of lions; I lie among ravenous beasts- men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.

57:5 　神啊，願你崇高過於諸天，願你的榮耀高過全地。

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.

57:6 他們為我的腳設下網羅，壓制我的心。他們在我面前挖了坑，自己反掉在其中。（細拉）

They spread a net for my feet- I was bowed down in distress. They dug a pit in my path- but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah

57:7 　神啊，我心堅定，我心堅定。我要唱詩，我要歌頌！

My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.

3. 歡唱在神的榮耀中

57:7 　神啊，我心坚定，我心坚定。我要唱诗，我要歌颂！

My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.

57:8 我的灵啊（原文作“荣耀”），你当醒起！琴瑟啊，你们当醒起！我自己要极早醒起。

Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.

57:9 主啊，我要在万民中称谢你，在列邦中歌颂你；

I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.

57:10 因为你的慈爱高及诸天，你的诚实达到穹苍。

For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

57:11 　神啊，愿你崇高过于诸天，愿你的荣耀高过全地！

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.

Filled To Flow

Let us focus  to be who as called for His Purpose. 

“On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.””

John 7:37-38 NKJV

Come to house of God, drink with Jesus.

Key: is to be filled. 

God love do supernatural thing 

Is natural for God to bless, to fill, to heal...

Spiritual Hunger

God is more than happy to love us. 

Jesus said: come to me. He is living water 

“And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.”

John 20:30-31 NKJV

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.”

Matthew 5:6 NKJV

Nothing can beats or compare to the presence of God 

Challenge yourself to be hunger for God.

Be Hunger, Be Filled;

No Hunger, Stay Empty.

“As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my food day and night, While they continually say to me, “Where is your God?” When I remember these things, I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go with the multitude; I went with them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.”

Psalms 42:1-4 NKJV

3 Simple points to stay Hungry for God

1. Prepare - Set our heart to seek God.

“And he did evil, because he did not prepare his heart to seek the LORD.”

II Chronicles 12:14 NKJV

Preparation define your destination.

“For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the Law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel.”

Ezra 7:10 NKJV

When we so full (with the thing, serving...) how God gonna fill us?

2. Dwell - Wait on the Lord.

Is the struggle to do nothing. 

We always don't like to wait.

See church is the home, learn to dwell first, before you serve. 

“When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.””

Psalms 27:8 NKJV

Seek His face 

Seek God face more than His hand. 

“Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.”

Jeremiah 29:12-14 NKJV

 3. Transform - Receive His Heart 

From a person face, your can receive His heart.

We struggle as we focus on wrong things. 

God always see potential and purpose of His People.

See God's face and know His heart. 

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”

Romans 8:14-17 NKJV

Know your identity and don't have a spirit  of fear when you received His heart. 

“Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.”

John 15:13-15 NKJV

A friend of Jesus and can share His heart.

Before so something, to know His heart first.
