(515) 「灵粮主题 TODAY’s Topic」神的灵已居在你心殿里，在你问之前神早就知道你需要什么 The Spirit of God Has Taken Up Residence in Your Heart，So He Knows What You Need Before You Even Ask

「灵粮经节 TODAY’s Verses」：「你们祷告的时候，不可像那假冒为善的人，爱站在会堂里和十字路口上祷告，故意叫人看见。我实在告诉你们，他们已经得了他们的赏赐。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。你们祷告，不可像外邦人，用许多重复话，他们以为话多了必蒙垂听。你们不可效法他们；因为你们没有祈求以先，你们所需用的， 你们的父早已知道了; And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 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. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.」（马太福音 Mathew 6: 5-8 节）

「灵粮分享 TODAY’s Sharing」：今天今日灵粮要给大家分享的，也就是让弟兄姊妹要有深入了解与神祷告交通的意义，以及神的灵给你在这与神交通里，动工帮助你与神的关系。 有一位圣经学者有这样说，并补充说，圣经阐明了一些关键思想，例如神的本质和存在、“人类对罪的敏感性”，以及神对祂的创造之物人类、人的罪性，和神给人类救赎的态度与方法。 该方法以神对人类有着不变之爱的主题以及他给你的恩典为中心，讲解神给人类从罪恶的死刑中拯救出来的计划和其过程。

基督教的宗旨和定律，旧约里教我们要专心仰赖敬畏耶和华，新约里吩咐我们要持守信心跟随耶稣，因为祂是世上唯一的救主基督，和祂所传达下来的传统基督教教会信仰; 以及圣经里所记载神的行迹与人关系的历史，和福音救恩真理的描述。人能脱离犯罪的惩罚和死亡的结局，也得有神所赐永生的奖赏，都不是靠人给启示录末世有着个别的救恩机会和解经出路， 而是靠信耶稣而得救。启示录是耶稣最后与祂心爱门徒约翰之间的对话，末世的提示和预言，有关将来耶稣的再来，末世的审判情况，与那审判能否过关得救实际的演剧。若是导致有的信徒却移信去注重他们的解经家，以为信他的解经才能得教，却忘记了约翰福音 14：6 里给我们的基督教宗旨和定律真理，更违反了传统基督教的宗旨和定律，也成了一段空前的基督信仰的差异和异论，因为圣经里明明告诉我们，“耶稣就是救恩的道路、真理、生命。 要不是籍着祂，没有人能到天父那里去”。更重要的是基督教信仰的要素，信徒要知道崇拜神的态度与方法，约翰福音 4：24 节里告诉我们：“神是个灵，所以敬拜祂的必须用心灵和诚实拜祂”。意眛着神是个无所不知无所不在的 “三位一体” 之灵体。旧约历史的记载，祂们是三位一体，同心同意，合作地创造了宇宙万物，尤其是创造了祂心爱的人类子民，因为人类是照着祂自己的形象造出来。神要祂的子民能行善称义管理这世界上的万物和他们的演化。所以你信神，也就是要相信祂是有 “三个位格合成一体” 的真神 - 圣父， 圣子，和圣灵：

（1）【圣父】：神就是旧约里常描述的第一位格，“圣父”。在旧约里我们通常都叫祂是 “耶和华”，也就是我们在 “天上的父”；（2）【圣子】：神的位格也包含了新约里所描述的第二位格 – “神的儿子”，也命名为 “圣子”。祂就是那曾经来过世间道成肉身，圣诞节里庆祝祂诞生的那位救主耶稣基督。祂降生的目的是神的拯救意思，给耶稣在人间作了人类的活祭 - 挽回祭，完成了天父给人类的救赎大使命。耶稣为人类殉身流血洗净我们一切的罪犯，钉死挂在十字架上流血，第三天复活， 就这样的打胜了罪之结局死亡的惩罚，升天坐在天父神的右边，将来必再来审判死人与活人；（3）【圣灵】：要知道神爱世人，祂对人类有着不变之爱。耶稣完成了人间赎罪拯救之后，便升天回天家去为我们预备将来我们要与祂同住的地方。但是，神还是不放心人类独自留在这世界上活着，因为祂知道 “人类对罪的敏感性”，容易犯罪跌倒而沉沦，或许也再次感染犯罪得病症似的成了不洁之物，由此再也不能与神接近，因为彼得前書 1: 16 节的记载，神是圣洁的。可怜的在白衣宝座审判台前，救主耶稣也就会否认你， 说祂不认识你。这样，你也就免想过这 “审判关” 而继续能得救。更不用想你想看到的 “新天地”，和在 “新耶路撒冷新城” 里居住的享福。 因为你还是一个明知故犯，没有坚信跟随耶稣到底，认祂是你唯一一生的救主，再次感染到罪恶，毒发成了不洁之物，有着所谓亵渎 “圣灵”之说，不能再亲近神。但是，神与人之间有着不变之爱。所以神仍然是信实不放心，在约翰福音 16: 7-8 里籍着耶稣给我们说： “然而，我将真情告诉你们，我去是与你们有益的；我若不去，保惠师 （圣灵） 就不到你们这里来 （请参考五旬节圣灵的降临 - 使徒行传 2：1-4 节）；我若去，就差祂来。祂既来了，就要叫世人为罪、为义、为审判，自己责备自己。” 这也就是今日灵粮要说的，神的灵常居在你心殿里，给你在这与神祷告交通里，给你动工拉关系帮助你，使得你能反省而悔改，因为回头是岸！ 这 “保惠师” 也就是神的第三位格， “神的灵”，也就是我们所熟悉叫祂为 “圣灵”。 神给我们活在世上有着保惠师陪伴，不至于跌倒再犯罪。

在新约里圣灵有了耶稣的差派来的，祂就不会离开我们 “得救信徒的心殿” 里， 因为我们有着祂的印记 （参考罗马书 8：9 节 和 以弗所书 1: 13-14 节），我们就会凭着祂引导我们过日常的生活。不像旧约里的同样的神灵（圣灵） 祂也都在运行人间，帮助耶和华给祂子民的工作。但祂会离开的，如果你学像撒母耳记上16: 14节里记载的扫罗王，你的不洁就让圣灵离开了你了。 将来在审判座前耶稣也就否认你了！

在前些的分享里，今日灵粮解释过我们是神的造物，每个人都拥有神在创造过程中的吹气，赐给我们有着的灵与魂在身，人类也都是神所喜悦造成能给他传福音行善事的器皿。人活着的时候，我们是用自己心殿里的灵与神的灵沟通，刚才我们提过约翰福音 4：24 节里告诉我们的神就是灵体，敬拜他的要用你的心灵，籍着他的神灵位格就像有着无线上网 WIFI 的装备一样，人能与神祷告沟通，通电来往求助，做神得称义得好儿女与子孙。所以说，今天灵粮要跟大家分享的，也就是要让弟兄姊妹有深入了解人类与神交通祷告的意义，以及神的灵会给你在这与神祷告沟通里动工，配搭你与神的关系。你若是显出露世俗人性，图谋离开神的旨意去犯罪不信祂，居在你心殿里的圣灵，等候若你求告神，祂就会触动你反省，悔改，回头是岸，要你归正走义路，不致跌倒反得永生！ 这也就应验了神在旧约时代，籍着先知以西结在以西结书 Ezekiel 11: 19-20 节里的允许记载。神是信实的，祂早在旧约里有着这最后救恩计划的准备。给我们后代配有前些描述过的有圣灵的降临，居住在我们心殿里的应许。我们也要学像旧约里的许多先贤，例如以诺、亚伯拉罕等，叫世人能永远记住与神同在和祂的话语，典章与旨意，教导我们为罪、为义、为审判，启动自己，责备自己，反省悔改而得救，说：“我要使他们有合一的心，也要将新灵 （圣灵） 放在他们里面，又从他们肉体中除掉石心，赐给他们肉心，使他们顺从我的律例，谨守遵行我的典章。他们要作我的子民，我要作他们的神。” 所以今日灵粮的主题所引用的马太福音 Mathew 6: 5-8 节，就用第 8 节这最后一节来概括它，敢于揭示而说，“神的灵已居在你心殿里，在你问之前神早就知道你需要什么”。

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， “不需要说一句话的祷告” 的分享。牧者引用马太福音 Mathew 6: 32 节，描述我们在祷告与神沟通时，不需要炫耀自己也不用多说话， 因为 “…，你们的天父知道你们的需要。” 这也就是「今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY」主题所要分享的, “神的灵已居在你心殿里， 在你问之前神早就知道你需要什么”。

鲍勃牧师例举了许多经节和比喻来劝勉我们说：耶稣在马太福音 6: 33 节里说：“你们要先寻求神的国和祂的义，这一切都会赐给你们。” 你可能会问：“当我思想神时，这跟祷告一样吗？” 牧者说有可能。我们都很熟悉无声沟通的力量。我们中的许多人在成长过程中，父母都不用说什么就能表达自己的意愿。他们也许只是通过某种眼神或其他某些未说出口的信号来表达。但我们就会确切地知道父母的意思，以及我们该如何回应。祷告也是如此。当你思想神时，这是一种祷告；当神把祂的想法传达给你时，这是一种回应祷告的形式。

一个小男孩想要一辆自行车作为圣诞礼物，一天晚上，他声嘶力竭地祷告，告诉神他到底想要什么款式和什么颜色的自行车。他妈妈说：“儿子，你不需要对神大声喊叫，祂能听见你说话。”小男孩回答：“妈咪，我知道。但我需要大声喊叫，这样如果爷爷听到了，他就会给我买那样的自行车。” 事实上，你不需要大声呼喊神来听你说话。你也不需要尽力想出你祷告的答案。耶稣说：“你们的天父知道你们的需要。” 既然如此，那何必花时间祷告呢？因为神希望你带着信心来亲近祂，信靠祂供应你所需要的一切，并和祂建立关系。这就是祷告的意义所在。大家星期五开心与周末愉快！

「灵粮祷告 TODAY’s Prayer」：当一切都说完了，在本篇分享的结语里「今日灵粮 Spiritual FOOD TODAY」也就引用诗篇 Psalm 103: 13-16 节, 让大家在主的爱里互相祷告、互相勉励。在这诗篇的节经里，深爱主赞美神的大卫王提醒着我们，说：“父亲怎样怜恤他的儿女，耶和华也怎样怜恤敬畏他的人！因为他知道我们的本体，思念我们不过是尘土。至於世人，他的年日如草一样。他发旺如野地的花，经风一吹，便归无有；他的原处也不再认识他。”神知道人类的软弱，祂做父亲的天父，仍然爱护着祂的造物人类子民，我们这等不听话经常会有自作聪明，容易犯罪跌倒的子女。你要深信，回头是岸，在灵里神仍然爱护着我们能跟祂通话与祷告悔改。天父关心你，你领会你自己父亲的爱，“神的灵已居在你心殿里, 在你问之前神早就知道你需要什么”。祈求神帮助我们人性的软弱，但愿我们能持守基督的信仰到底，求神让我们牢牢记住约翰福音 14：6 节里的忠告。神给人类唯一拯救世人的真理，就是要深信耶稣是神的儿子救世主基督，“耶稣就是那通天唯一的救恩道路,真理,和生命”。更要再次提醒的，记住使徒行传 4：12 给我们说的，“除祂以外，别无拯救；因为在天下人间，没有赐下别的名，我们可以靠着得救”。我们作信徒的不敢论断其他人的自由信仰。但祈求神的灵怜悯触动我们做信徒的，不要再次跌倒相信世上还有其他的异论信仰，和拯救之道，免去当前与将来将面临神的审判交账忿怒。奉主名祷告，阿门！

What in our spiritual food today want to share with you is to give brothers and sisters an in-depth understanding of the meaning of praying and communicating with God, and how God’s Spirit can work in your communication with God to help you in your relationship with God. One biblical scholar put it this way, adding that the Bible illuminates key ideas such as the nature and existence of God, "human susceptibility to sin," and God's view of his creation, the sinful nature of man, and God’s attitude and method of salvation for mankind. This method centers on the theme of God’s unfailing love for mankind and the grace He gives you, and explains God’s plan and process to save mankind from the death penalty of sin.

As to the purposes and laws of Christianity, the Old Testament teaches us to rely solely on and fear Jehovah. The New Testament instructs us to keep faith and follow Jesus, as He is the only savior our Christ in this world, and belief in the traditional Christian church passed down by Him. The Bible recorded the history of God’s deeds and His relationships with humans, as well the description of the salvation truth of the gospel. Man can be saved from the punishment of sin which has the outcome of death, and can finally receive the reward of eternal life from God, not by man's interpretation of the Book of Revelation in the last days, or that might provide other salvation opportunities and ways out, but through faith in Jesus. The Book of Revelation is the last dialogue between Jesus and His beloved disciple John, a reminder and prophecy of the end of the world, about the return of Jesus in the future, the judgment of the end of the world, and the actual drama of whether one can survive the judgment and be saved. If this causes some believers to turn to their exegetes, thinking that only by believing in his exegesis can they be taught, they forget the purposes and laws of Christianity as well as the true account of faith explained to us in John 14:6, and thus violates the purpose of traditional Christianity and laws, and that have also become an unprecedented differences of biblical interpretations and dissent in Christian faith, because the Bible clearly tells us, “Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life of salvation. Without Him, no one can go to the Father”. What is more important is the element of Christian faith. Believers must know the attitude and method of worshiping God. John 4: 24 tells us: "God is spirit, so those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth." It means that God is an omniscient and omnipresent "Trinity" spiritual body. According to the historical records of the Old Testament, they are a Trinity who agreed and cooperated to create all things in the universe, especially His beloved human beings, because humans were created in His own image. God wants his people be justified and do righteousness to govern all things in this world with their evolutions. So, if you believe in God, you must believe that He is the true God with " three persons united into one Trinity" - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit:

(1) [Holy Father]: God is the first person often described in the Old Testament as “Holy Father.” In the Old Testament we usually call Him “Jehovah”, which is our “Father in Heaven”; (2) [Holy Son]: God’s Trinity also includes the second person described in the New Testament – "Son of God" and is also named as "Holy Son". He is the Savior Jesus Christ who once came to this world and became flesh, and whose birth is celebrated on Christmas. The purpose of His birth was God's intention to save humans from the punishment and death from sin. He served as a living sacrifice for mankind - Jesus served as a propitiation for this human world, and thus completed the great mission of redemption given by the Heavenly Father to mankind. Jesus died for mankind and shed His blood to cleanse all our sins. He was crucified and hung on the cross and shed His blood. He was resurrected on the third day. In this way, He defeated the consequences of sin and the punishment of death. He ascended into heaven and sat at the right hand of God the Father. He will be coming in the future. Come again to judge the dead and the living; (3) [Holy Spirit]: You must know now that God loves the world, and He has an unfailing love for mankind. After Jesus completed the atonement and salvation on earth, he ascended to heaven and returned home to prepare for us the place where we will live with Him in the future. However, God still does worry about human beings left alone in this world because He knows that "Human Susceptibility to Sin" and are prone to sin and fall and perish. Perhaps they may be infected again with sin-related diseases and become unclean again. Nor can they get close to God, because 1 Peter 1: 16 records that God is holy. Unfortunately, and therefore before the judgment seat of the White Throne, the Savior Jesus will deny you and say that He does not know you. In this way, you will not have a chance to pass this “judgment point”, or continue on to be saved, let alone and hope to see the new heaven and earth or enjoy the blessings of living in the New Jerusalem and the New City. Because you are still a knowing and willful person who has not firmly followed Jesus to the end and recognized Him as your only savior in life. You have been infected with the poison of sin again and turned into an unclean thing. You have the so-called blasphemy of the "Holy Spirit" and you can no longer get close to God. However, there is an unfailing love between God and humans. Therefore, God is still faithful and worry about us to live alone on this earth. Therefore, in John 16:7-8, Jesus said to us, “However, I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; but if I do not go away, the Comforter (Holy Spirit) will not come to you (please refer to the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost - Acts 2: 1-4); if I go, I will send Him. When He comes, He will convict the world of sin, Convict yourself for righteousness and judgment." This is what today's spiritual food is about and shared. God's Spirit always resides in the temple of your heart, helping you to work and build relationships to help you in this prayer and fellowship with God, so that You can reflect and repent, because it is safe to turn back! This “Paraclete” is the third person of God, the “Spirit of God,” which is what we are familiar with as the “Holy Spirit.” God has given us a Comforter to accompany us when we live in this world, so that we will not fall and sin again.

In the New Testament, the Holy Spirit is sent by Jesus, and He will not leave our "heart temple of saved believers" because we bear His seal (refer to Romans 8: 9 and Ephesians 1: 13 -14), we will rely on Him to guide us in our daily lives. Not like the same spirit (Holy Spirit) in the Old Testament, that He also operates in the human world, helping Jehovah in his work for His people. But He may leave, if you are like King Saul in 1 Samuel 16: 14, your uncleanness caused the Holy Spirit to leave you. Therefore, Jesus will deny you before the judgment seat in the future!

In the previous sharing, today’s spiritual food explained that we are God’s creations. Everyone has God’s breath in the creation process, giving us the spirit and soul that we have. Human beings are also created with God’s pleasure as His vessel. A vessel that can give him to deliver the gospel and do good deeds. When humans are alive, we use the spirit in our heart temple to communicate with the Spirit of God. Just now we mentioned that God told us in John 4: 24 is a spirit body. To worship Him, you must use your spirit. His divine personage is like having wireless Internet access and WIFI equipment. People can pray and communicate with God, call for help, and become God's justified children and descendants. Therefore, what the spiritual food today wants to share with you today is to give brothers and sisters a deep understanding of the meaning of human beings’ communication and prayer with God, and that God’s Spirit will work in your prayer and communication with God to coordinate your relationship with God. If you reveal your flesh and worldly humanity and seek to depart from God’s will to sin and disbelieve in Him, the Holy Spirit who lives in the temple of your heart is waiting for you to call on God, and He will trigger you to reflect, repent, turn around, and ask you to return to righteousness. The way, you will not fall but have eternal life! This also fulfills the permission recorded by God in the Old Testament era through the prophet Ezekiel in Ezekiel 11:19-20. God is faithful, and He had made preparations for this final plan of salvation as early as in the Old Testament. Equip our descendants with the promise described above of the coming of the Holy Spirit and dwelling in the temple of our hearts. We must also learn to be like many sages in the Old Testament, such as Enoch, Abraham, etc., so that the world can always remember the presence of God and His words, ordinances and will, teaching us to start avoidance of sin and our sinful nature, for righteousness, and for judgment. He rebuked us to reflect, repent, and thus saved again, saying: “I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God.” Therefore, the theme of today’s spiritual food is quoted from Matthew 6: 5-8, but essentialize it with the last verse of 8, daring to reveal and say, when praying and communicating with God, "The Spirit of God Has Taken Up Residence in Your Heart，So He Knows What You Need Before You Even Ask "

This morning in "今日圣言 Holy Word Today ", I read the sharing of “Prayers That Don't Need to Say a Word”, written by Rev. Bob & Mrs. Debby Gass. Pastor Bob quoted Matthew 6: 32, describing that when we pray and communicate with God, we do not need to show off or talk too much, because "..., your heavenly Father knows your needs." This is what the theme of "今日灵粮 Spiritual Food TODAY" is about to share, "The Spirit of God Has Taken Up Residence in Your Heart，So He Knows What You Need Before You Even Ask." Pastor Bob cited many verses and parables to exhort us: Jesus said in Matthew 6:33: “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you.” You may ask, "When I think about God, is it the same as praying?" Pastor Bobb said it is possible. We are all familiar with the power of silent communication. Many of us grew up with parents who could express their wishes without saying anything. They might just express it through a look or some other unspoken signal. But we will know exactly what our parents mean and how we should respond. The same goes for prayer. When you think about God, it is a form of prayer; when God communicates His thoughts to you, it is a form of answered prayer.

A little boy wanted a bicycle for Christmas. One night, he prayed at the top of his lungs, telling God exactly what style and color of bicycle he wanted. His mother said, "Son, you don't need to shout to God, He can hear you." The little boy replied, "Mommy, I know. But I need to shout so that if Grandpa hears him, he will give me to buy a bike like that.” The truth is, you don’t need to shout to God to hear you. Nor do you need to try hard to come up with answers to your prayers. Jesus said, “Your heavenly Father knows your needs.” So why spend time in prayer? Because God wants you to approach Him with faith, trust Him to provide everything you need, and build a relationship with Him. This is what prayer is all about. Happy Friday and Great Weekend Everyone!!

When everything is said and done, in the conclusion of this sharing, "今日灵粮Spiritual Food TODAY " will quote Psalm 103: 13-16, so that everyone can pray and encourage each other in the love of the Lord. In the verses of this psalm, King David, who deeply loved the Lord and praised God, reminded us, saying: “As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust. The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.” God knows the weakness of mankind, He as a father, our Heavenly Father still loves and protects His creation, the human people. Disobedient people like us often have children who are too smart and prone to sin and fall. You must firmly believe that when we turn around, God still loves and protects us in our spirit and we can talk to Him and pray and repent. Heavenly Father cares about you, and you understand the love of your own Father. “ The Spirit of God is already in the temple of your heart, and God knows what you need before you even ask." Pray that God will help us in our human weaknesses, that we may persevere in our faith in Christ to the end, and that God will help us keep in mind the counsel in John 14: 6. The only truth God has given to mankind to save the world is to firmly believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior, Christ. “Jesus is the only way to salvation, truth, and life that reaches heaven.” We need to be reminded again, remember what Acts 4:12 tells us, “There is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” As believers, we dare not judge other people’s freedom of beliefs. But we pray that God’s Spirit will have mercy on us as believers, and we will not fall again to believe that there are other dissident beliefs and ways of salvation in this world, and that we may avoid the judgment and wrath of God that we may face now and in the future. Pray in the name of the Lord, Amen!
