【週一】改變從我開始

✦ 週二|成為承接新酒的新皮袋

Tuesday|Becoming New Wineskins to Contain New Wine

馬太福音 Matthew 9:17 「也沒有人把新酒裝在舊皮袋裏;若是這樣,皮袋就裂開,酒漏出來,連皮袋也壞了。惟獨把新酒裝在新皮袋裏,兩樣就都保全了。」

“Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”

《靈修引導》 家人們:神從不停止做新事。問題往往不是神沒有工作,而是我們是否願意接受更新。

Dear family in Christ: God never stops doing new things. The problem is often not that God is not working, but whether we are willing to accept renewal.

包含我們習以為常的意念、政治觀點、價值觀與理念,時常成為基督徒隱藏的「硬皮袋」。當神要在新的季節做新事時,若我們仍抓住舊有的信念系統,就難以承接神在下個季節預備的祝福。

The thoughts, political views, values, and philosophies we take for granted often become hidden “hard wineskins” for Christians. When God wants to do a new thing in a new season, if we still hold onto our old belief systems, it will be difficult to contain the blessings God has prepared for the next season.

神也經常在我們需要更新的季節,特意興起環境來挑戰我們的舒適圈,好更新我們的服事態度、建立新的連結、調整舊有的信仰觀與價值觀。這過程並不容易,甚至必需經過擊打與拉扯,卻是幫助我們屬靈成熟、恢復屬靈彈性、擴張容量的必經之路。

God also frequently allows circumstances to arise intentionally during seasons when we need renewal to challenge our comfort zones. This is done to renew our attitude toward ministry, establish new connections, and adjust our old perspectives on faith and values. This process is not easy and may even require wrestling and breaking, but it is the necessary path to help us mature spiritually, restore spiritual flexibility, and expand our capacity.

《反思與行動》 求聖靈光照什麼是我失去彈性的「舊皮袋」?

Reflection & Action: Pray that the Holy Spirit would reveal what my “old wineskins” are that have lost their flexibility.

《為教會代禱》 宣告我們的教會不受傳統與人的限制,成為能承接新酒的新皮袋。

Church Prayer: Declare that our church will not be limited by tradition or man, but will become a new wineskin capable of containing new wine.

《為國度代禱》 求聖靈更新台灣眾教會,打破一切不合神心意的追求模式,讓教會浸泡在聖靈大能而非營造出的氣氛。

Kingdom Prayer: Pray that the Holy Spirit would renew the churches in Taiwan, breaking all patterns of pursuit that are not aligned with God’s heart, allowing the church to be soaked in the power of the Holy Spirit rather than a manufactured atmosphere.

 

✦ 週三|脫去舊人,穿上新人

Wednesday|Put Off the Old Self, Put On the New Self

以弗所書 Ephesians 4:23-24 「又要將你們的心志改換一新,並且穿上新人;這新人是照著上帝的形像造的,有真理的仁義和聖潔。」

“…to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.”

《靈修引導》 家人們:「穿上新人」不是「改變」而是「恢復」。當我們一意的求「外面的形象」改變,就會落在「吃力」而前功盡棄。但是當我們明白:這個「形象」乃是從「心」恢復神所造的樣式,我們就樂意擁抱這個全新的身份、放棄那個舊有的自己。

Dear family in Christ: “Putting on the new self” is not a “change” but a “restoration.” When we intently seek to change our “outward image,” we fall into a “laborious effort” that ultimately fails. But when we understand that this “image” is the restoration of the pattern God created from the “heart,” we will joyfully embrace this brand-new identity and give up our old self.

有時我們信主一段年日,容易忽略我們其實活在一種「不被更新」的狀態裡——不夠敏銳,也沒有意識到自己對「舊樣式」的不夠「深惡痛絕」;甚至用裝備或特會來麻痺自己。但真正屬靈的成熟,不是知道多少真理、或受過多少裝備,而是願意從「心」開始,讓聖靈帶我們走一個恢復的旅程。

Sometimes, after being believers for a while, we easily overlook the fact that we are actually living in a state of “not being renewed”—we are not sensitive enough, nor are we aware of our lack of “deep hatred” toward our “old ways”; we might even use training or conferences to numb ourselves. But true spiritual maturity is not about how much truth we know or how much training we have received, but a willingness to start from the “heart” and allow the Holy Spirit to lead us on a journey of restoration.

我們也不要輕看那些微小的改變,或暫時看不見別人外面的轉變而定罪。因為聖靈正透過心裡的「一點點」,正在動「大大的」工作!這時常是外面看不見的。

Let us also not look down on small changes, nor condemn others because we cannot temporarily see their outward transformation. For the Holy Spirit is doing a “great” work through that “little bit” in the heart! This is often invisible from the outside.

《反思與行動》 求聖靈幫助我,使我刻意的查驗、省察我有哪些舊人的習慣或意識形態是非常需要被對付的。

Reflection & Action: Pray that the Holy Spirit would help me intentionally examine and reflect on which old habits or ideologies desperately need to be dealt with.

《為教會代禱》 求聖靈幫助弟兄姊妹不只停留在聚會,而是在生活各層面真實活出新的生命。

Church Prayer: Pray that the Holy Spirit would help brothers and sisters not just stop at attending meetings, but truly live out a new life in all aspects of daily living.

《為國度代禱》 求神在全地的教會興起聖潔的運動,特別造訪我們的城市,光照隱而未現、不法的事,使人心回轉渴慕真理公義。

Kingdom Prayer: Pray that God would raise up a holiness movement in churches globally, specifically visiting our cities to shine a light on hidden and lawless things, causing hearts to turn back to hunger for truth and righteousness.

✦ 週四|放下自己,跟隨基督

Thursday|Deny Yourself and Follow Christ

馬太福音 Matthew 16:24 於是耶穌對門徒說:「若有人要跟從我,就當捨己,背起他的十字架來跟從我。」

“Then Jesus said to His disciples, ‘Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow Me.’”

《靈修引導》 家人們:捨己,不是失去自我,而是將生命的主權交還給神,這其實是不對等的交換。但許多時候,我們卻在跟神較量、衡量著跟隨神的「得失」。

Dear family in Christ: Denying oneself is not losing oneself, but surrendering the sovereignty of one’s life back to God, which is actually an unequal exchange. Yet many times, we find ourselves wrestling with God, measuring the “gains and losses” of following Him.

常常我們衡量的,都是「老自己」帶來的計算:那些我付出的時間、我奉獻的金錢、我給出的關懷….都是從老自己為出發點的衡量。

Often, what we measure comes from the calculations of the “old self”: the time I invested, the money I offered, the care I gave… all measured from the starting point of the old self.

然而,事奉與宣教的核心,卻不只是做更多,而是像基督更多。神尋找的、使用的,不只是有恩賜的人,而是願意降服的人。

However, the core of ministry and missions is not just doing more, but becoming more like Christ. God is not just looking for and using talented people, but those who are willing to surrender.

十架之路是需要經過破碎,卻也帶來復活。當我們更多願意放下老自己,神就能透過我們的新人去祝福更多的人。

The way of the cross requires brokenness, but it also brings resurrection. When we are more willing to lay down our old selves, God can use our new self to bless more people.

《反思與行動》 我最難放下的老自己是什麼?最近我衡量的又是什麼?

Reflection & Action: What is the hardest part of my old self to let go of? What have I been measuring lately?

《為教會代禱》 為教會的服事同工禱告:祝福他們在服事中保持謙卑與捨己的心,不計較代價,只看見神所付的代價。

Church Prayer: Pray for the church ministry workers: Bless them to maintain a humble and self-denying heart in ministry, not counting the cost, but only seeing the price God has paid.

《為國度代禱》 為華人教會的職場宣教事工:求神興起更多願意回應大使命的工人,被差遣在禾場收割靈魂。

Kingdom Prayer: Pray for the marketplace mission ministries of the Chinese churches: Pray that God would raise up more workers willing to respond to the Great Commission, sent into the harvest field to reap souls.
