(447) 「灵粮主题 TODAY’s Topic」：提防撒旦的面，谨慎挫败它的诡计 Beware of Satan's Face and Thwart His Deceptions

「灵粮经节 TODAY’s Verses」：「务要谨守，儆醒。因为你们的仇敌魔鬼，如同吼叫的狮子，遍地游行，寻找可吞吃的人 。你们要用坚固的信心抵挡他，因为知道你们在世上的众弟兄姊妹也是经历这样的苦难；Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.」（彼得前书 1 Peter 5: 8-9 节）

「灵粮分享 TODAY’s Sharing」： 今晨在「今日圣言」里，读到鲍勃和黛比加斯夫人Rev. Bob & Mrs. Debby Gass 写了一篇 ，“要知道撒旦的诡计” 的分享。牧者引用哥林多后书 2 Corinthians 2:11 节，劝勉我们在日常谋生，尤其是在教会群体信仰，宣教生活里，避免学像那许多人，为利混乱神的道；乃是要由於诚实，由於神，在神面前凭着基督讲道。免得撒但趁着机会胜过我们，正在追求要过着圣洁仁爱属灵的生活，因我们并非不晓得他的诡计，也就是灵粮主题要分享的，让我们要知道属灵的生活就是要 “提防撒旦的面，谨慎挫败它的诡计 ” 。牧者举例解释道，撒旦最喜欢的诡计之一，就是让我们以不正当的手段，来使用正当的东西。我们要学像耶稣高深的属灵榜样， 马太福音4:3-4 节里描述，在旷野对基督的试探中，撒旦试图借着这样的话来攻击祂的饥饿感：“ … 可以叫这些石头变成食物 …” , 但耶稣明白经文，所以祂回答说：“圣经上说，‘人活着不是单靠食物，乃是靠神口中的每一句话。’ ” 如果耶稣屈服于他自己的人性冲动，他就会按照撒旦的诡计去行，从而放弃他天父即将临到的供应。比如说：（1）我们日常生活都需要钱，但撒旦会引诱你逃税漏税，欺骗客户，在工作上偷工减料，或扣留要捐献的钱财；（2）我们生来都需要伴侣和性的满足，但撒旦会引诱你通过婚外情或沉迷于网络色情来满足这些需要；（3）我们都渴望在事业上取得成功，但撒旦会引诱你通过撒谎、操纵，或者损人利己来达到目的；（4）撒旦最古老的诡计之一，就是混淆我们的价值观，使得善看起来像恶，而恶看起来像善。那么，答案是什么呢？所以，保罗在以弗所书 Ephesians 6:11 里，劝告鼓励着信徒说，我们要：“要穿戴神所赐的全副军装，以便能够抵挡魔鬼的阴谋。” 大家星期五开心，周末愉快！

「灵粮祷告 TODAY’s Prayer」：今日灵粮也就引用诗篇 Psalm 25:5 节，大卫王向神的祈求 , 和大家在主的爱里相互分享勉励祷告，“ 求主以你的真理引导我，教训我，因为你是救我的神。我终日等候你。“ 就像牧者鲍勃鼓励的，满有怜悯的神知道我们的软弱，我们时时刻刻都会遇到魔鬼的试探，所以我们当求靠神灵的引导带领，恳求能与神有亲密的同行、每日读经，以及持续有祷告的生活。这样才能保守我们每天的意念、口舌和道德，也就会知道： “提防撒旦的面，谨慎挫败它的诡计 “。祷告奉主名求。阿门 !

In "今日圣言 Today's Word" this morning, I read the sharing of "Know Satan's Tricks", written by Rev. Bob & Mrs. Debby Gass. This pastor cites 2 Corinthians 2:11, exhorting us to make a living in our daily life, especially in the church community with our faith and mission life, must avoid learning from great many people who preach because of making a living and profit, but confuse the true service for delivering the word of God; We must preach in honesty before God, and deliver the true gospel about our savior, Jesus Christ. Lest Satan take the opportunity to overcome us, when we seek to live in a holy, and loving spiritual life, because we are not ignorant of his tricks, that is what the theme of spiritual food is going to share about this spiritual living to follow Christ and keep this strong faith with God: "Beware of Satan's Face and Thwart His Deceptions." The pastor explained, one of Satan's favorite tricks is to get us to use the right things in the wrong way. We need to learn from the high spiritual example of Jesus, Matthew 4:3-4. in these verses describes the temptation of Christ in the wilderness, Satan tried to tempt his hunger by saying, "... If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread ..." , but Jesus understood the scriptures, so he replied, "In the Bible Said, Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. '" If Jesus succumbed to his own human impulses, he would act according to Satan's wiles, thereby giving up the imminent provision of his Father from heaven. Furthermore, for examples: (1) We all need money in our daily lives, but Satan will tempt you for tax evasion, cheating on clients, cutting corners at work, or withholding money from donation; (2) We all have a natural need for companionship and sexual satisfaction, but Satan will tempt you to satisfy those needs by having an extramarital affair or indulging in online pornography; (3) We all aspire to be successful in business, but Satan will tempt you to do so by lying, manipulating, or doing harm to others; (4) One of Satan's oldest tricks is to confuse our values so that good looks like evil, And evil looks like good. So, what is the answer? Therefore, Paul, in Ephesians 6:11, exhorts and encourages believers and says, "Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. " Have a Happy Friday and joyous weekend!

To this end, 今日灵粮 Spiritual Food Today would quote King David’s prayer to God in Psalm 25:5, and encouraged to pray for each other in the love of our Lord with this verse, “Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long." Just like Pastor Bob encouraged, our merciful God knows our weakness, and we are always tempted by the devil, so we should ask for the guidance of God, pray for an intimate walk with God, have a daily Bible study, and a continual prayer life. Only in this way can we keep our thoughts, speech, and morals focused with our spiritual life every day, and reminded that: "Beware of Satan's Face and Thwart His Deceptions." Pray in the name of the Lord. Amen !
