成全训练听抄(1)

路1:37-38 因为在神,没有一句话是不可能的。马利亚说,看哪,我是主的卑女,情愿照你的话成就在我身上。

v.37 我们在神的家中,只有神的说话。祂的话说了,就没有一句话是不可能的,这该是我们的态度,因为我们是在神的家中听见神的说话。

v.38 这是马利亚最好的祷告。马利亚愿意把自己摆一边。她认识她什么都不是,只是主的卑女,情愿照主的话成就在她身上。因着这个,神可以被带进人性里。让我们在这训练里,祷告说:主啊,原你在这一次训练里,照你要成就的成就在我身上。然后,主今天要尊重我们,祂有很多话要向我们说。

太14:16-21-食饱五千的神迹。神说话,我们就给。主问我们,你们有多少。门徒说五饼二鱼,主说,拿过来。我们能给多少,主就能祝福多少,这是主祝福的原则。大专成全是“大”的,我们能给主,结果祂就望着天,祝福,就食饱五千。

徒9:15-因为这人是我所拣选的器皿。人非常重要。我们是服事人的人。我们能服事人,在于我们是怎样的人,只有某种人才愿意服事人。扫罗是怎样的人?他不是服事人的,他乃是捉拿人的人,他是“口吐威吓凶杀的话”的人。但后来他完全变了,他愿意为人乐意花上自己。他这个人已经被主制作了,因为“这人是我所拣选的器皿”。神拣选人,是要人被神充满,并且在外邦人。。。中宣扬主的名(主的名是他的人位,主自己。)宣扬就是担负主。

今天主拣选了我们,作祂的器皿,目的是要将三一神那追测不尽的丰富作到我们里面,然后我们担负主。然后主就能用我们。我们自己有什么呢?只有旧造、肉体、黑暗。感谢主,祂先来拯救我们!使我们生活在祂生命的管制下,然后祂要我们来认识祂。主自己如何,祂也要把我们作成和祂一样。

Mary has chosen the good part

All these while, when I was "working" so hard, there were voices in me saying that I am working too hard, as if nobody can do those works. Tonight through a sweet fellowship with a saint, I was finally clear about my own condition. Martha was troubled by many things, but the Lord praised Mary for she had chosen the one thing- the good part- to sit before the Lord and listen to His word.

I was just being Martha for many years in brother house. I want to speak this straight forward as a reminder to myself. Martha was serving the Lord, but she was so busy and troubled. Tomorrow I will be away joining one-month campus perfecting. Even in this very moment, this silly Martha of myself still thinking of the routine business in the brother house. Ya, may be the brothers are busy and occupied with things, and may be these are just fallen thoughts of my natural man. But these are not my works, these are the Lord's ! The saint reminded me that campus works are not mine, it belongs to the Spirit! So, just go for the training and be simple, and be Mary, who 'earned' the Lord's praise.

Brothers, sorry because I am Martha asking Marry to do her parts. "Lord, does it not matter You that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to do her part with me." Even before I am going to be away, I am still trying to tell you all to "do her part with me". But we need to sit at the Lord's feet, listen to His word.

"But the Lord answered and said to her, Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things. But there is a need of one thing, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her." (Luke 11:41-42)

O Lord Jesus, have mercy on me. How I need to be Mary.
