0728 你是有能力的
亲爱的，你是否意识到自己是多么有能力？这并非取决于你声音的大小、禁食的次数，或是祈祷的时间长短。当你全然相信我对你的爱时，你才是最强大的。当你从安息的状态出发去战斗时，没有什么能够击败你。
你争战的武器，是借着我、借着你对自己在我里面那坚定不移的信心，才充满能力。当你完全确信我的爱，了解我的性情，惧怕就不会驱使你做出反应。相反，你会以信心回应。你会相信我就是我所说的那一位，当你信靠我对你的爱时，你就会找到那与争战截然相反的宁静。当你相信我了解这场争战，并且会与你并肩作战，为你而战时，你便拥有了强大的能力。安息是你最强大的武器之一，因为它显明你里面没有惧怕。在安息中，我借着平安，向你显明你究竟需要做什么，或者不需要做什么。要在与我的亲密关系中，找到你的力量。
正当他们渡湖的时候，忽然起了狂风暴雨，猛烈的风浪不断冲击船身，几乎要将船淹没。耶稣却安静地睡在船尾，靠着枕头安歇。——马可福音 4:37-38
0728 You are powerful.
Beloved, have you realized how powerful you are? It isn’t because of the volume of your voice, the number of times you fast, or the hours you spend in prayer. You are most powerful when you fully believe in my love for you. You are unbeatable when you fight from a posture of rest.
The weapons of your warfare are powerful through me, through your unshakable confidence of your position in me. When you’re fully convinced of my love and understand my character, fear won’t push you to react. Instead, you will respond with faith. You will believe I am who I say I am. You will find that place of stillness that contradicts warfare when you trust my love for you. You are powerful when you believe that I am aware of the battle and am fighting for you and alongside you. Rest is one of your most powerful weapons because it reveals the absence of fear in you. Out of the place of rest, I reveal, through peace, exactly what you need to do or what you don’t need to do. Find your strength in the place of intimacy with me.
Suddenly, as they were crossing the lake, a ferocious tempest arose, with violent winds and waves that were crashing into the boat until it was all but swamped. But Jesus was calmly sleeping in the stern, resting on a cushion. –MARK 4:37-38
