(485) 「灵粮主题 TODAY’s Topic」：你要控制自己的口语言行 You Must Control Your Own Words and Deeds

「灵粮经节 TODAY’s Verses」：「使徒约翰在他的福音书卷中，尤其是启示录 Revelations 20: 11-12 节，提醒做信徒的，过世了都要在主耶稣基督的神座前面对报账审评。使徒约翰说，他又看见一个白色的大宝座与坐在上面的；从耶稣面前天地都逃避，再无可见之处了。约翰又看见死了的人，无论大小，都站在宝座前。你的人生在世上一切的口语言行案卷展都开了，并且另有一卷展开，就是生命册。死了的人都凭着这些案卷所记载的，照他们所行的受审判。所以，今日灵粮的 经节，也就引用雅各书第三章的经节，来警告我们行事为人，对驯服舌头，都得控制自己的口语言行，因为经节里说： “看哪，船只虽然甚大，又被大风催逼，只用小小的舵，就随着掌舵的意思转动。这样，舌头在百体里也是最小的，却能说大话。看哪，最小的火能点着最大的树林。舌头就是火，在我们百体中，舌头是个罪恶的世界，能污秽全身，也能把生命的轮子点起来，并且是从地狱里点着的”; In his Gospel books, especially Revelation 20: 11-12, the apostle John reminded believers that when we pass away, we must pay an account before the throne of the Lord Jesus Christ. The apostle John said that he saw again a great white throne with him who sat on it; and from the presence of Jesus the heaven and the earth fled, and there was nowhere to be seen. Again, John saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne. All the words and deeds of your life in this world have been opened, and there is another book opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what was written in these books, according to what they had done. Therefore, the verses of today’s spiritual food would like to quote the verses from Chapter 3 of Epistle of James to warn us that we must control our words and deeds when we behave ourselves and tame our tongues, because',” Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.” 」(雅各书 James 3: 4-6 节）

「灵粮分享 TODAY’s Sharing」： 今晨在「今日圣言 Holy Word Today」里，读到鲍勃牧师和黛比加 斯夫人 Rev. Bob & Mrs. Debby Gass写了一篇， “不要 ‘削掉’ 别人的听觉” 的分享。牧者鲍勃引用箴言 Proverbs 13: 3 节，描述 “谨守口的，得保生命；大张嘴的，必致败亡” 。也就是「今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY」 主题要分享的, “你要控制自己的口语言行” 。鲍勃牧师给我们解释道：刺耳的话，会 “削掉” 一个人听你说话的能力。当耶稣被犹大出卖时，马太福音 Matthew 26: 53 节里记载，祂并没有报复，尽管祂可以召唤十二营天使来保护祂。于是暴徒来了，向祂下手，并逮捕了祂。这时彼得拔出佩刀，把大祭司一个仆役的耳朵削掉了。他可能在想， “我们不必忍受这样的遭遇！” 然而，耶稣说那不是我们处理事情的方式！路加福音 Luke 22: 51 节记载着说， “于是祂摸那奴仆的耳朵，治好了他。” 使徒彼得更是有一种倾向，在该听的时候却喋喋不休，并插手他无权插手的事情。他需要学会如何等候神，操练谦卑和明辨。神对他的生命有重大的计划，如果他要成就这些计划，却别在人惹他生气时就削掉他们的耳朵，那他是成就不了的。

这里有个功课, 现在你得随从这三位一体真神的第三位格，圣灵的引领，不能随心所欲地大发雷霆。你必须对圣灵的工作敏锐：如果祂告诉你 “什么都不要说”，那么你必须安安静静地站在那里，即使这样做意味着让别人以为他们自己是对的，而你知道他们是错的。你必须明白神不欠你任何解释。当你 “不控制自己的言语” 时，你就有可能阻碍自己的属灵成长或神对你生命的祝福。也许你 以为比起淫乱或偷窃，这不算什么，那你再看一看智慧的所罗门王在箴言 Proverbs 13: 3 节里的警告：“说话谨慎，可保性命；口无遮拦，自取灭亡。” 大家星期五开心与周末愉快！

「灵粮祷告 TODAY’s Prayer」：「今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY」 也就引用马太福音 Matthew 12: 36-37节和大家在主的爱里相互勉励祷告。鲍勃牧师在今日的分享里，就是要我们驯服舌头，“不要 ‘削掉’ 别人的听觉” 的分享。所以在这今日灵粮结语所引用的马太福音经节里，救主耶稣基督提醒法利赛人与我们作信徒的，说：“我又告诉你们，凡人所说的闲话，当审判的日子，必要句句供出来； 因为要凭你的话定你为义，也要凭你的话定你有罪。” 求神帮助我们一生也都能过着富有属灵的生命，若有人自以为虔诚，却不勒住他的舌头，反欺哄自己的心，这人的虔诚是虚的。所以雅各书在经节里提醒我们作信徒的，“你要控制自己的口语言行”。因为舌头就是火，在我们百体中，舌头是个罪恶的世界，能污秽全身。求神怜悯给我们力量，能勒住舌头忍耐听从圣灵的引导，走上得救的人生义路。祷告奉主名求的，阿们！

In "今日圣言 Holy Word Today" this morning, I read the sharing of "Don't 'cut off' others' hearing" written by Rev. Bob & Mrs. Debby Gass. Pastor Bob quoted Proverbs 13: 3, describing that “those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin. “ That is what the theme of "Spiritual Food TODAY" is about to share, "You Must Control Your Own Words and Deeds". Pastor Bob explained to us: Harsh words "cut off" a person's ability to hear you. When Jesus was betrayed by Judas, as recorded in Matthew 26: 53, He did not take revenge, although He could call twelve legions of angels to protect Him. So, the mob came, laid hands on him, and arrested him. Then Peter drew his sword and cut off the ear of one of the servants of the high priest. He may be thinking, "We don't have to tolerate this!" However, Jesus said that is not how we handle things! Luke 22:51 records, "So he touched the slave's ear, and healed him." This apostle Peter tended to chatter when he should have listened, and meddle in things he had no right to do with the matter. He needs to learn how to wait on God and practice humility and discernment. God has great plans for his life, and if he wants to fulfill those plans, he cannot accomplish them if he cuts off people's ears when he is affronted by them.

There is a homework here, now you must follow the third person of the Trinity God, led by the Holy Spirit, and you cannot get angry as you like. You must be sensitive to the work of the Holy Spirit: if He tells you to "speak nothing," then you must stand still, even if doing so means making others think they are right when you know they are wrong of. You must understand that God owes you no explanation. When you "do not control your words," you risk hindering your own spiritual growth or God's blessings on your life. Maybe you think that this is nothing compared to the sins for promiscuous or stealing, then look at the warning of the wise King Solomon in Proverbs 13: 3 which is plainly said: "A careful speech will save your life, but an open mouth will lead to your own destruction.” Happy Friday and great weekend everyone!

In conclusion, “今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY” would like to quote Matthew 12: 36-37 and everyone encourages to pray for each other in the love of our Lord. Pastor Bob wants us to tame our tongues and " Don't 'cut off' others' hearing ". Therefore, in the Matthew verse quoted in the conclusion of today's spiritual food, the Savior Jesus Christ reminded the Pharisees and us as believers, saying: "But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words, you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” May God help us to live in a rich spiritual life throughout our lives. If someone thinks he is devout, but he does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his own heart. The piety of this man is vanity. Therefore, the Epistle of James reminds us as believers, "You Must Control Your Own Words and Deeds." For the tongue is fire, and the tongue is a world of sin among our members, and it defiles the whole body. May God have mercy on us and give us strength. Be able to curb your tongue, patiently follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and walk the righteous path of a saved life. Pray in the name of the Lord, Amen!
