祷告生活

【祷告生活】祷告就是与永生的神交谈。我们可以用不同方法，让祷告更充实。比如用诗篇导读祷告，或用简单的顺序：赞美，认罪，感恩和恳求。也可以用五指祷告的模式代祷。

*当我们合掌时，大拇指最靠近自己。所以先从最亲近的人，就是你所爱的人开始（腓1:3~5）。

*食指是用来指引方向，它提醒我们为负责的引领的人祷告。如传道人以及查经老师（帖前5:25）。

*中指是最长的，我们要为那些居高位的掌权者祷告，如国家，地方领袖，以及公司的主管（提前2:1~2）。

*无名指通常是最脆弱的，提醒我们为那些软弱，有困难的受苦的人祷告（雅5:13~16）。

*小指则提醒：我们相对于神的伟大是多么的微小，当祈求祂供应一切的需要。（腓4:6、9）

不管哪种模式，重要的是在神面前与祂相交，祂希望听到我们发自内心的声音，祂更愿意帮助每一个祂所爱的人。

1 Tim 2:12 Woman's Silence

1 Tim 2:12 ( KJV )  But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. T.A.: My wife and some other sisters were having a Bible study in Hualien. A non-Christian man who knew one of the women came in and sat down. My wife stopped teaching and tried to tell him that she could not teach with a man present.  She said it embarrassed the man and he left and never saw him again.  She feels she handled the situation wrongly.  She thinks now that she should have kept teaching and after the class explained what the Bible teaches and encouraged him to attend the men's classes. That  might be the best way to handle that situation. The word "silence " in I Timothy 2:12 follows "teach,  nor to usurp authority over the man "  This describes a situation where a woman robs authority that God has not given her. It seems like it depends on her attitude and the manner in which she speaks. If she is overbearing and a "Miss , I know

RETURN TO THE LORD 歸向神 （Joel 約珥書2:13-14)

  Warren E. Berkley Translation & Edition  翻譯： Joyce Yang Built in to the message of the prophets was the appeal to repent. These men were sent by God to expose sin and urge the guilty to repent. Often the appeal was framed as a challenge to return to the Lord (Isaiah 6:10; Jeremiah 3:1; Malachi 3:7). For instance, Joel’s appeal to Judah was for the people to repent of their sins. “So rend your heart”, and “return to the Lord your God” (Joel 2:13). Through the distribution of His judgments (locusts, drought, desolation), God admonished His people to come out of their sin and back to Him. It was His loving purpose to prompt a change in their direction. The essential definition of repentance has not changed through the dispensations. We can, therefore, use Joel’s statement as the basis for our understanding of returning to the Lord. And this study can find application for those who have been baptized but left their God. 先知的信息中內含著悔改的呼籲。這些人是神派來揭露罪惡、敦促有罪之人悔改的。這種呼籲常常被界定為 “ 歸向神的挑戰 ” （

The Woman that Hath a Familiar Spirit 交鬼的婦人 (1 Sam 28)

From T.A. 翻譯：Joyce My reasoning as to why I don't think there is demon possession today is because humans do not today have the power to cast out demons. With the death of the last Apostle , the ability to transmit miraculous power ceased. To me it would not seem to be a balance of power of demons were allowed to possess humans and God no longer gave His people the power to cast out demons .  我之所以認為今天沒有惡魔附身，是因為人類今天沒有能力驅魔。 隨著最後一個使徒的死亡，傳遞神蹟力量的能力停止了。 在我看來， 若惡魔的力量不允許附身於人類，神也不會再賦予祂的子民驅逐惡魔的力量。 The events of 1st Samuel 28 happened long before the Christian age. From earliest times until the present there have been people who claim to have the powers of the occult. God in His Bible has forbidden His people to have anything to do with sorcery and things pertaining to it(Galatians 5:20,21-witchcraft is sorcery). These things belong to the deception of the devil.   1st Samuel 28的事件發生在基督教時代之前很久。 從最早到現在，一直有人聲稱擁有神秘主義的力量。 神在祂的聖經中禁止祂的子民與邪術和與巫術有關的事物有任何關係（加拉太書5:20,21－邪術就是巫術）。 這些東西屬於魔鬼的欺騙。 I realize
