與貝克博士對話與自己反思-2
與貝克博士對話和自己的反思整理
仰望神的習慣
我要每天仰望我的神
詩篇42:5 我的心哪,你為何憂悶?為何在我裏面煩躁?應當仰望神,因他笑臉幫助我;我還要稱讚他。
詩篇42:11 我的心哪,你為何憂悶?為何在我裏面煩躁?應當仰望神,因我還要稱讚他。他是我臉上的光榮,是我的神。
仰望神是一個成長的基礎,讓自己習慣熟悉這種感覺,有事沒事就讓自己不斷的仰望神吧!仰望的時候表達的是謙卑,仰望的時候表達的是盼望,仰望神讓自己學習不看自己的限制,而是看著神的無限。
讓仰望神成為一種自然的習慣,我將能突破自己的限制,每次當我想要說我不行,或者那怎麼有可能的時候,那時候我必須要做的一件事情,就是
首先去看天空,仰望一下神,問問神你怎麼看這件事情?不要讓自己的肉體來掌管自己的感覺、生命。然後稱讚神的全能,頌讚他的偉大,默想神的奇妙可畏,默想神的無限。
接下來讓神的光照在我臉上,把自己裡面一切的陰霾都一掃而空,不要讓可憐的自己掌管我的生命,要讓自己生命透明在陽光之下,使神的榮光能照耀,使人看不見我,而看見神的榮耀。
最後,我們就能真正的讓神成為我們的神!
我們要不斷的宣告自己的限制,還是要不斷的宣告神的無限?一念之差,讓我們從一個血氣的人,轉化成為一個屬靈的人,使天堂的氣息能從我的生命中釋放出來。
耶穌生命的榜樣,就是他不斷的仰望神,他也有肉體,但他每天作屬靈的選擇,他讓天父的聲音、天父的感動來觸動他的生命,因著他充滿天父的心思意念,不斷的仰望天父,所以人類最困難的決定,他都能勝過,反思我們自己,我要體貼我的肉體嗎?還是在自己認為不可能的時候,多多仰望神!

True Worshipers
27 Jun 2009
… the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud, so that the priests could not continue ministering
because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God. 2 Chronicles 5:13-14
The temple was finished in the eleventh year of Solomon’s reign. It took seven years to build. “Seven” is the number of completion. Israel had by now reached a place of permanency and security in their secular and spiritual life, for they were dwelling in the inheritance that God had appointed. David fought all the wars. Solomon was the prince of peace. He entered into the inheritance that had been won through David’s victories.
At the consecration service of the temple, the ark of the covenant and all the holy vessels were brought into the house of God. The ark contained only the two tablets of stone, upon which were written the Ten Commandments. We have the same ark of the covenant and two tablets of stone, but they are placed in a different temple. In the new covenant, those laws are written upon the “fl eshly tablets” of our hearts (2 Cor. 3:3). And it is a work of the Holy Spirit as He raises up holy people who walk in the ways of God.
As Solomon consecrated the temple, the singers started to worship God. There are three interesting things to note: firstly, the singers were clothed in white linen (2 Chr. 5:12).
This is symbolic of the righteousness of God (Rev. 19:8). There are two types of righteousness:
(a) imputed righteousness—God declaring us as righteous; and
(b) actual righteousness—we actually become righteous in character and in heart. This is like a judge pardoning a criminal. He is counted innocent but inside his heart, he still needs to be changed. The true worshipers in the last days must be clothed thoroughly in righteousness.
Secondly, there were 120 singers (2 Chr. 5:12). This is symbolic of the “end of all flesh” (Gen. 6:3). Galatians 5:24 says, “And those who are Christ’s have crucified the fl esh with its passions and desires.” The fl esh is on the cross. God is looking for true worshipers who are crucified with Christ.
Thirdly, “the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD” (2 Chr. 5:13). They were not only united in heart, in spirit and in faith, they spoke and sang as one! The place of agreement is the place of power. Immediately the presence of God fi lled the whole house and all of them fell under the weight of that glory. Solomon’s temple is a picture of the type of church God wants to raise up in our time—one that is righteous, holy and walking in total unity.
