0611 我活在你裡面
你給自己太大的壓力——太專註於自己是否有能力去聽、去說、去做我要求你做的事情,好像這一切都取決於你的能力一樣。你心中想做的事,是我放在那裡的,它已經被我的靈賦予意義;正是我的靈在你裡面,釋放出神跡。
這並非取決於你是否相信自己能做到什麼,而是取決於你是否相信我——永活的上帝——確實住在你裡面。如果我在你裡面,我就會透過你彰顯出來,你那一部分只有很少的努力。你所需要的,只是單純地順服,走出你自己所設立的界限——那些界限限制了你相信我藉着你能做什麼以及不能做什麼。【你所需要的,就是以單純順服的心回應神的呼召,走出自己因懼怕、不信或自我設限而建立的框架,不要把神的工作局限在你有限的理解之中;因為神往往能夠藉着軟弱的人,成就遠超過他們所想象的事。】當我要求你做一件事的時候,不要先審視自己,看看自己是否擁有足夠的信心來承擔它。【神的呼召不是要你先證明自己有多大的信心,而是要你因着信靠祂的能力而順服前行。不要一直測量自己的信心有多少,而要仰望那位賜信心、成全信心的主。】要仰望我——信心的化身。這從來都不是、永遠不會是關於你能夠做什麼;而是關於我能透過你做什麼。我是全能者,活在你裡面。
永遠不要懷疑神大能的能力在你裡面運行,並成就這一切。祂所要成就的,將無限超越你最大的祈求、你最難以置信的夢想,並遠遠超過你最狂野的想象!祂要超越一切,因為祂神奇的能力會不斷地為你注入能量。——以弗所書3:20
0611 I am alive within you.
You put too much pressure on yourself–too much focus on your ability to hear, to speak, to do what I ask you to do, as if any of it is contingent upon your ability. What is in your heart to do has been placed there by me. It has been breathed upon by my Spirit. And it’s my Spirit in you that releases miracles.
It isn’t based on whether you have faith in what you can do. It’s based on faith that I–the living God–truly abide within you. If I am within you, I will manifest through you with very little effort on your part. All that’s needed is simple obedience to step beyond the boundaries you have created–boundaries that set limits on what you believe I can and cannot do through you. Don’t look to yourself when I ask you to do something, checking to see if you have the faith for it. Look to me–the One who is the embodiment of faith. It has never been, nor will it ever be about what you can do. It is about what I can do through you. I am the all-powerful One, alive in you.
Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you. — EPHESIANS 3:20
