The Frustration of Human Opinions and the Enjoyment of the Lord

I really enjoyed the portion in The Gospel of John last night. It is chapter 11 revealing "The need of the dead- Life's resurrecting". The Lord really open my eyes to see something. In that chapter, Jesus knew clearly that Lazarus (Marry and Martha's brother) was sick and about to die, but "He remainded at that time in the place where He was for two days." (v6), because "his sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, in order that the Son of God may be glorified throught it." (v4).
--- --- ---
The Lord knew that and He purposely waited until Lazarus died, because He wanted to raise him up. This is what Life can do- overcome death and resurrection. I was really touched that the Lord is the resurrection and the life. We are nothing but death. We are Lazarus but one day He came to us to raise us up!
--- --- ---
But in this chapter there's a lot of human opinions that hindered the Lord, and they hinder our receiving of new revelation from the Lord. The opinions from the disciples, Marry, Martha- all became the frustrations for them to see that Jesus is the resurrection and the life. The disciples misunderstood what the Lord had said about "Lazarus has fallen asleep." (v11), and Didymus even said "Let us go, that we may died with him." (v16). Marry and Martha both blamed the Lord "if You had been here, my brother would not have died."(v21, 32) Jesus wept (v35). Jesus wept for us because we do not see what He is. We remained in our perception.
--- --- ---
The Lord is the resurrection today, even in this moment. "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes into Me, even if he should die, shall live;" (John11:25). Martha in her old knowledge thought that Jesus will raise Lazarus in the last day, but Jesus came to raise him up immediately! Lord, open my eyes and remove all my natural believes and even my old knowledge about You. I want to experience You as the resurrection now. Praise the Lord!

跟上在三个时期丰满职事的基督,经历并享受

昨晚在PJ会所有场特会,很享受弟兄所说的信息,说到基督在三个时期丰满的职事,特别是说到“要跟上”这句话。

神要与人联结、调和并合并,使神享受人、人也享受神。为了这个,祂把自己在基督里给了我们,藉着经过过程。为着这个,祂有三个时期丰满的职事,赞美主!我摸着弟兄说要“跟上”在这三个时期的基督,不然我们没有办法得着并享受祂。当主才成肉体时,法利赛人和经学家都不能认识神已成为肉体-就是耶稣,只有一些蒙祂呼召的门徒慢慢的认识主。当主受死复活后,成了赐生命之那灵的形态,主向门徒显现时,门徒却不认识祂。主与门徒走下坡路到以马午恃,一路与门徒讲说圣经,也到将主把饼擘开给门徒后,他们才认出祂来。当老约翰在启示录看见宝座上的耶稣时,也扑倒在地,因为基督在加强的时期里,已经不一样了!祂执行神的经纶,为着福音、预备新妇和得胜者。

今天我们都要看见基督已经在加强时期的丰满职事里了。要跟上去,与宝座上的那位配合,得着加力!操练我们的灵,与主是一;就能在主末日的工作中配合,与这位大能救恩者是一来传福音。

A Day Enjoying the Lord

Praise the Lord for today! Today is public holiday (Raya Day). In the morning at 730am, the bro and sis went to Bkt Jalil hill to have corporate morning revival. On the way, we saw br John and thank to the seeking Lord, for He seek for our bro. So he joined us too. May the Lord continue to seek for him. When we reached, sis Yit Ping and her children also joined us. We sang hymns and enjoyed the portion of morning revival on Luke 15-the parable of the prodigal Son and the receiving Father. Praise the Lord that we were now returned to God as our possession, and returned to our Father's house- the church, to enjoy all His riches. This is jubilee! After that, we had our breakfast on the hill. That was a wonderful picnic.
--- --- --- --- --- ---
After the morning revival, for the first time, the brothers (me and Glory) followed the sisters to central market (pasar) to buy things. We went there in sis Ang Chee's and sis Miao Eng's car. That market was an eye opener to the bro. Next time we would like to go there if we are going to cook any lovefeaast.
--- --- --- --- --- ---
In the evening, we went to br Ho's place for sports and lovefeast afterward. This is the first time since I came to IMU, to have sports together like that. This was also another good experience for me. And through that, I knew that Ong Lim actually loves to play soccer, just like me. We also enjoyed cycling around the park.

--- --- --- --- --- ---
At night, when everyone was so exhausted, we came into enjoyment in br Ho's house. Sis Yit Ping, sis Janet, sis Dolly, sis Ang Chee, sis Karen all coordinated to serve us. Thank You Lord for these sisters. We enjoyed "sukiyaki" steamboat, and nice mushroom soup, and chocolate cake etc. During the meal, Paul and Glory enjoyed playing guitar and singing hymn inside, while me and Ong Lim enjoyed eating steamboat outside. :) After the meal, we came together to sing hymns. and the Lord stirred up our love towards Him again. We shared our enjoyment to Him.

--- --- --- --- --- ---
Lord, we love You. Gain everyone of us here. May we treasure You and every member of the Body more and more each day. Gain the remaining days we'll spend in this campus.

Keep the Oneness

Today when I was in uni and walking down the staircase, I came across to an advertistment on the noticeboard saying: "Catholic - Protestant: Celebrate the Difference". Inside me there was a thought. Why do the people celebrate the difference? Aren't all the believers have been regenerated and put on the one new man in Christ?

We have to know that this is Satan's work to harm the Body. Look at the Christianity. They even celebrate the difference among them. But praise the Lord! Satan had been judged, and he can only delay's his own "death sentence"- which will be carried out by the church, the overcomers.

Today we should learn to keep the oneness. The true oneness is the oneness of the Triune God Himself. Bro Lee urged us to learn to keep the oneness. Learn means we are not in oneness by our own, but we need to learn. We need to exercise our spirit, and remain in the mingled Spirit. Halleluyah!

路加福音结晶读经享受

为着九月份路加福音录影训练感谢主,主再次向我们说了新鲜的话。

以往我对主的认识是客观的,从这一次的录影训练里,最大的帮助就是让我主观地来认识这位奇妙的人救主,并且让我经历了祂大能的救恩,为着禧年的生活。

人救主的成为肉体成就了神创造人的定旨。主的成孕把神圣属性调进人性美德里,并且祂的人性美德是被神圣属性所加强、丰富并拔高,使祂活出最高标准道德的生活,这就是祂大能救恩的资格与基本因素。阿利路亚!祂的救恩是何等有大能!藉着看见主的人性美德,主也曝露我的人性是何等的低。主啊,需要你来拯救我的人性!

主不仅把我们拯救脱离罪、世界,赞美祂大能救恩要拯救我们堕落的人性,并把它拔高并恢复到神原初所要的情形。为了完成这个,主经过了过程,钉死复活,成了保罗万有赐生命的灵,作祂自己的精华,作到我们的里面,来复制我们, 把我们带进禧年的实际里。整本路加福音都是禧年。

弟兄的话也很摸着我。主说我们若要跟从祂,就当否认己,背起自己的十字架;也要丧失魂生命,不留恋属地的东西。我们的己实在是一个问题,拦阻我们完全来享受禧年。需要主这大能的救恩,除去里面一切拦阻我们享受主的东西-可能是忧虑、骄傲、和其他事物。今天我们都需要丧失魂生命。罗得的事例对我们是一个警告。虽然罗得已经得救了,可是因为回头一望,就成了盐柱,被撇在蒙羞之地。我们可能被主拯救脱离一些世界属地的霸占,可是我们若留恋,就成了失了味的盐,丢在田里(召会,为着国度)或粪堆里(火湖的灭亡)都不适合,只好丢在黑暗里。

最后一篇说到人救主的升天与祂天上的职事。赞美人救主的升天乃是祂的就职进入天上的职事,完成神新约的经纶。今天,召会必须与主天上的职事是一,跟随羔羊的脚踪。主今天要得着欧洲、以色列、耶路撒冷,这是祂今日的行动。我们都要祷告到神里面,叫我们有负担。赞美主!

享受诗歌

刚才在弟兄家时,和他唱了一首诗歌,自己从诗歌非常受主的牧养和顾惜。它是补充本613。

恩主你是我至爱

恩主,你是我最爱,我的爱情都归你,
当你爱充满我心,我在爱里得安息。
主,我爱你的自己,不是你所作所赐,
无一能与你相匹,我今欢乐的爱你。

主,我曾享受许多事物,
但我现今欢然全丢弃;
我不再恋别的事物,
我将上好爱情归你。
虽然很忙碌,身体也有点疲惫,可是里面就是有加力,然后主用诗歌向我说话,那种感觉真亲切。谢谢你,亲爱的人救主!

The Reproduction of Godman

The living of the Godman Savior forms a prototype for mass reproduction in the believers. His living is the composition of God with the divine attributes and man with the human virtues. Today this Man Savior had gone through all the process, became a life giving Spirit- to be the extract of everything He had passed through, to regenerate us in the spirit, and transform us in the soul.

I enjoyed what the brothers shared that in order for the Lord to reproduce in us (and transformation in the soul is life-long), we need to open our inward parts- our mind, emotion, and will- for the Lord. Our souls are just 'organ' or 'container' to contain and express God's mind, emotion, and will. Why remain in your own emotion? Don't express your own thinking. Abandon your will. Let you inward parts to be one with God. This is how Jesus lived on earth.
Lord Jesus, You knows that there is too much distractions in my inward parts. I do not let your mind to constitute and substitute my mind; there is too much emotion in me that hinder me from live Christ; and my will is for my ownself. Lord, You promise that Your highest standard of morality issues the powerful dynamic salvation. I need save, Lord! Save me from these distractions. Let me experience what Zaccheus had experienced- 'looked up' and 'said to me' like You did to Zaccheus ! Let me touch Your fringe garment- the wonderful humanity! Receive my little cry and prayer to You.
