Ask for God’s wisdom James 1:5 and Raymond’s testimony求神的智慧 雅1:5 和Raymond的见证

发表于 2025-02-23

Last week, 上周,we looked at the testing of faith in James 1:1-4. 我们分享了雅各书1:1-4中信心的试炼。Then, in v.5, 然后,在第5节,James immediately encourages believers to ask God for wisdom. 雅各立即鼓励信徒向神求智慧。Wisdom? 智慧?How many of us desire wisdom? 我们中有多少人渴慕有智慧?Let’s read v.5, 让我们读 5节,if any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 你们中间若有缺少智慧的,应当求那厚赐与众人也不斥责人的神,主就必赐给祂。The word “wisdom” appears in the Bible approximately: “智慧这个词在圣经中大约出现过:222 times in the KJV and 231 times in the NIV. KJV222次,在NIV231次。So why does James, right after discussing testing immediately encourages believers to ask God for wisdom. 那么,为什么雅各在谈论试炼之后立即鼓励信徒向神求智慧呢?Because in v.2, he says, 因为在第2节,祂说,“Consider it pure joy” when facing trials or challenges. 当你们落在百般试炼中,都要以为大喜乐。 When you feel rejected or persecuted, 当你感到被拒绝或受迫害时,do you naturally feel joy? 你会自然地感到喜乐吗?No. 不会。That’s not a natural reaction! 这不是自然而然的反应!Without wisdom, 没有智慧,we often react with anger, frustration, or even despair我们常生气、灰心,甚至绝望—toward others, ourselves, or even God. 对他人、对自己,甚至对神。Proverbs 4:7 teaches, “Wisdom is supreme—therefore, get wisdom!” 4:7教导说,智慧为首,所以要得智慧!The word ‘wisdom’ comes from the Greek word σοφία (Sophia), “智慧这个词来自希腊词σοφίαSophia),which refers to divine wisdom— 指的是神神圣的智慧——spiritual insight from God. 来自神的属灵洞察力。This is not something we naturally possess. 这不是我们天生拥有的。So, v.5, reminds us 所以,在第5节提醒我们,that if we lack the wisdom to recognize the testing of our faith and to find pure joy in it, 如果我们缺乏识别信心的试炼并在其中找到纯粹喜乐的 智慧,we must ask God for wisdom. 我们必须向神求智慧。It says, firstly, God is generous. 它说,首先,神是慷慨的。He is not stingy. He gives wisdom freely and abundantly to those who ask. 祂不吝啬。祂慷慨地赐智慧给那些求的人。Secondly, God gives to all without finding fault. 其次,神赐给众人也不斥责人He won’t scold us if we ask Him for wisdom. 若我们向祂求智慧,祂不会责备我们。He won’t say, 祂不会说,“You should have known this.” “你应该知道这个。”He will not withhold wisdom because of our past failures. 祂不会因为我们过去失败而不把智慧给我们。Instead, when we ask, 相反,当我们求时,He will generously give His wisdom 祂会慷慨地赐下祂的智慧,to help us navigate life and spiritual warfare. 帮助我们应对生活和属灵争战。Today, Raymond will share his recent testimony 今天,Raymond将分享他最近的见证,to help us better understand James 1:5. 帮助我们更好地理解 雅各书1:5

神在2025年给我的新年礼物:感冒,鼻塞——一个试炼
God’s New Year Gift for Me in 2025: A Cold, A Blocked Nose—A Test

在新年的第一天,11日, On January 1st, 我得了流感或感冒。I caught a flu or cold. 对大多数人来说,For most people, 这没有什么特别-- that's nothing unusual—常发生it happens, 特别是冬天,到处病毒传播。especially in cold weather with viruses spreading around. 你休息一下,You rest, 或看一下医生,maybe see a doctor, 一周或十天后and in a week or so, 你好了。you recover. 通常不都是这样吗?Isn’t that how it usually goes? 我身体一向很健康, I've always been healthy, 很少生病,rarely getting sick. 即使感冒了,Even when I catch a cold, 通常两三天内就会好,不用吃药。it clears up in a few days without medicine. 但这次不同,This time was different. 吃了7天抗生素和10天流感药,After seven days of antibiotics and over ten days of cold medicine, 不见好。nothing improved. 我想着要看医生。I was thinking to see the doctor 我开始求问神,But I started asking God, 到底是怎么回事?What’s going on? 我有没有什么地方得罪神呢? Have I done something wrong? 吃感冒药也没有效果。The medicine had been taking wasn’t making much of a difference. 我决定不再吃药了。 So I decided to stop taking it anymore. 这次经历与我以前的任何经历都不同。This experience was different from anything I’d had before.

鼻塞导致我晚上只能用嘴呼吸,My blocked nose forced me to breathe through my mouth at night, 打呼和喉咙又干又痛。causing snoring and a painfully dry throat. 我常半夜醒来去喝水,湿润一下鼻子,I woke up often to drink water and moisten my nose但因喝水上厕所就晚上都睡不好。 but that led to bathroom trips, ruining my sleep. 到早上,By morning,我的嘴巴干燥,my mouth was dry,喉咙疼痛,my throat was sore, 我醒来时头晕头痛、疲乏无力。and I’d wake up dizzy and exhausted. 我的整个喉咙被黄痰堵住,My whole respiratory system felt clogged with yellow phlegm, 我的声音听起来很粗,鼻音很重。and my voice sounded thick and nasal.

Jane提醒我,我以前有过鼻炎,Jane reminded me that I used to have sinusitis, 所以会不会这流感引发我鼻炎急性发作了呢?so could the flu have triggered an acute attack? 我的叔叔和我爸爸都有鼻炎——My uncle and dad both had it— 这是我们的家族病。it runs in our family. 但很多年前,But many years ago,我经历了神对我鼻窦炎的医治,I experienced God’s healing for my sinusitis, 会不会它再次复发呢?could it come back again? 我查了一下AI(这就是现在的人类智慧)。I checked AI (that’s human wisdom these days). AI说,我的症状可能是由感冒引起的鼻窦和喉咙炎症,AI suggested that my symptoms could be from a cold-related inflammation in my sinuses and throat, 这可能会阻塞我的咽鼓管,which could be blocking my Eustachian tubes导致压力积聚,and causing pressure build-up, 鼻涕倒流post-nasal drip, 甚至中耳感染。or even a middle ear infection. AI建议我看医生。AI suggested seeing a doctor我开始准备看医生,I started preparing to see a doctor, 甚至用英文写下我的症状。even writing down my symptoms in English.同时,Meanwhile, 我祷告并将一切交给神。I prayed and handed it all over to God.主,如果这是你的旨意让我去看医生,我就去。Lord, if it’s Your will for me to see a doctor, I’ll go.

然后,一个经文忽然浮现在脑海:凡事都有定期。(传道书31 Then suddenly, a verse came to mind: “There is a time for everything.”Ecclesiastes 31这让我停下来思考——That made me stop and think—是不是我做了什么得罪神的事了?Had I done anything that offended God? 我再次感到我正在被祂纠正。 I felt like I was being corrected by God. 快到119日,As we got closer to January 19, 就在我们今年的第一次聚会之前,just before our first gathering of the year, 我的鼻塞还是没有任何的好转。I was still dealing with severe nasal congestion. 没有任何改善,Nothing had improved, 我心里又着急起来。and I was starting to feel anxious again.

有一天,正躺在床上,One day, while lying in bed, 我突然听到一个温柔的声音对我耳语:I suddenly heard a gentle voice whisper to me: “上次你鼻塞,晚上打鼾,"Last time you had nasal congestion and were snoring at night, 你不是去看医生了吗?didn’t you see a doctor? 医生不是告诉你要冲洗鼻子吗?Didn’t the doctor tell you to rinse your sinuses? 你为什么不冲洗鼻子呢?”Why aren’t you rinsing your nose?" 声音很轻柔却充满温暖。The voice was so soft yet full of warmth. 我感到非常感动,I felt incredibly moved, 心想,这一定是神。thinking, this must be God. 祂看到我的痛苦,He sees my suffering, 祂怜悯我,He has compassion on me, 祂在对我说话。and He’s speaking to me. 但我没有立即行动,But instead of acting straight away, 我没有马上行动I didn’t take action right away. 我想,And I thought, 也许我会没事,Maybe I’ll get better. 也许我现在不需要做任何事。Maybe I don’t need to do anything just yet. 所以我又拖了几天。So I delayed for a few more days. 119日聚会之后,On January 19, after our gathering, 我终于去了药房,买了鼻窦冲洗液和鼻窦喷雾。I finally went to the pharmacy and bought Sinus Rinse and Sinus Spray. 我开始冲洗和使用喷雾,I started rinsing and using the spray, 令人惊讶的是,and surprisingly, 到月底——大约28天后——by the end of the month—around 28 days later— 我的喉咙痛、痰和咳嗽完全消失了。my sore throat, phlegm, and cough were completely gone. 我能感觉到我的感冒流感已经好了,I could tell that my flu and cold had cleared, 我的精力也恢复了。and my energy was back. 我甚至能够重新开始锻炼身体了。I was even able to start exercising again.

然而,我的鼻塞问题仍然没有得到解决。However, my nasal congestion still wasn’t resolved. 在一天中,不知道什么时候,At random times during the day, 我的鼻子就会突然塞住。my nose would suddenly get blocked. 有时,甚至我的耳朵也会堵塞。Sometimes, my ears would feel stuffed too. 很不舒服,It was so uncomfortable, 就像里面有什么东西塞住—— like something was stuck inside— 就像AI描述的那样。just as AI had described. 里面有积液或压力积聚。It felt like trapped fluid or pressure buildup.

我想象着去看专科医生,I imagined visiting a specialist,医生会不会把我里面的液体或者气体用针筒或者什么工具给抽出去, 就好了。Will the doctor drain the fluid or air inside with a syringe or some kind of tool to fix it? 119日到211日,我每天都在冲洗鼻子和使用鼻窦喷雾。From January 19 to February 11, I was rinsing my nose and using Sinus Spray every day. 如果我没有喷鼻子,If I don’t use the spray, 那半夜就会跟以前一样,the same thing will happen at night 鼻子就会塞住打鼾,my nose will get blocked, I’ll snore, 半夜整个呼吸道喉咙很难受又干、又涩、又痛,and my whole airway and throat will feel really uncomfortable, dry, scratchy, and painful in the middle of the night. 这个鼻塞还有一个很特别的情况是:But there was something unusual happening:几乎每个晚上,almost every single night, 只要我和Jane一起祷告,我的鼻子就会塞住as soon as I prayed with Jane, my nose would get blocked.

我记得有几个晚上我懒惰或想,I remember a few nights when I got lazy or thought, 也许今晚我不需要喷鼻子,Maybe I don’t need the spray tonight, 然后我又会在半夜醒来,but then I’d wake up in the middle of the night 喉咙干得难以忍受和疼痛。with an unbearably dry and sore throat.我不断反思并求问神,I kept reflecting and asking God,我生活中是否还有什么罪导致了这种情况呢?Is there any sin in my life that’s causing this?

再仔细思想整个事情的过程中,Thinking carefully about the whole situation, 发现,那一天神对我说话的时候,没有跟我说叫我用喷雾喷鼻子。I realized that on that day, when God spoke to me, He didn’t tell me to use this sinus spray祂从未提到鼻窦喷雾。He never mentioned the Sinus Spray. 祂只告诉我冲洗鼻子。He only told me to rinse my nose. 这使我非常惊讶。That completely surprised me. 如果神没有告诉我使用喷雾喷鼻子,If God didn’t tell me to use the spray, 那我该在晚上如何处理鼻塞呢?then how am I supposed to deal with nasal congestion at night? 仅仅用冲洗就能真的能解决鼻塞吗?Could rinsing alone really fix this? 我甚至开始怀疑告诉我冲洗的声音是来自神还是我自己的想法。I even started questioning whether the voice that told me to rinse my nosy was from God or just my own thoughts. 但当我仔细反思时,But as I reflected on it carefully, 还是很确信那个声音不是我想出来的,I’m still very sure that the voice wasn’t something I made up. 是那么温柔、轻柔的,谦卑,不操纵,充满了爱和怜悯,It was so gentle, soft, and humble—not controlling, but full of love and compassion. 再次,我的心被神的爱深深感动。Once again, my heart was deeply moved by God’s love. 几乎每个人都知道Jane的梦,梦见我和付牧师带领周四的查经。Almost everyone knew about Jane’s dream of me and Pastor Fu leading the Thursday Bible study. 几周前,A couple of weeks ago, 在听了郭牧师在我们家庭教会的分享后,after hearing Pastor Guo shared at our home church, 我对Jane和付牧师她们说:I spoke with Jane and Pastor Fu. 说实话,To be honest, 照着我们之前那样,我不想再查了。I don’t want to continue the Bible study the way we did before. 我不想继续了。I just can’t keep going with it,谁都可以讲神学知识,讲大道理,Anyone can talk about theology and share big ideas. AI可以在几秒钟内提供答案。AI can provide answers in seconds. 我为什么还要在那里说那么多废话呢? So what’s the point of me just talking? 然后郭牧师说了一些话,让我深受触动:Then Pastor Guo said something that really struck me: “如果你没有行道,“If you’re not living it out, 你就没有道可讲。”then you have no message to share.”

我不想仅仅谈论神的话语—— I didn’t just want to talk about God’s Word— 我想行出来。I wanted to live it out. 我说,我渴望将我的信心活出来。I said, I longed to put my faith into action. 所以我祷告,So I prayed, 主,赐给我一个可以活出信心的环境。Lord, give me a circumstance where I can live out my faith. 我忽然意识到——Then it hit me— 这个鼻塞,this blocked nose, 这个呼吸困难……this struggle to breathe… 这不正是我所需要的完美环境吗?wasn’t this the perfect circumstance that I need?

当我鼻塞时,When my nose was blocked, 我不能正常呼吸。I couldn’t breathe properly. 我的大脑缺氧。My brain wasn’t getting enough oxygen. 我头痛,My head hurt, 耳塞,my ears were blocked, 整个头被塞住,蒙蒙的、晕晕的。and my whole head felt foggy and dizzy. 我从未经历过这样的事情。I had never experienced anything like this before. 我本可以按照AI的建议去看医生。I could have just followed AI’s advice and gone to the doctor. 但这次,But this time, 我做了不同的选择。I made a different choice. 我选择祷告。I chose to pray instead. 我祷告说,I prayed, 主啊,我想荣耀你的名。Lord, I want to glorify Your name. 如果我不能荣耀你,我在周四不会讲一个字。If I can’t glorify You, I won’t say a single word on Thursday.

神向我揭示了一个梦:光照我里面有做老好人的坚固营垒
God Revealed a Dream to Me: Exposing the Stronghold of Being a "Nice Guy"

然后,神给了我一个梦,揭示了我内心深处的一些东西—— Then, God gave me a dream revealing something deep inside me— 我想要做一个好人my need to be a “nice guy.” 在梦中,In the dream, 我看到了我已故的父亲。I saw my dad, who had passed away. 他告诉我一些事情,He told me something,我听了,and I listened, 被我里面想成为老好人的坚固营垒牵引、驱使。driven by my stronghold of wanting to be a good man. 我被迷诱惑了。But I was deceived. 我还看到另外两个人坐在他的床上。I also saw two other people sitting on his bed.然后梦就结束了。Then the dream ended. 很明显,神在光照我内心的一些东西It was clear that God was showing me something in me仍然与我父亲有魂结——was still tied to my dad— 想做一个好人的欲求——this need to be a "nice guy"— 给了仇敌一个破口攻击我。and it had given the enemy an opportunity to attack. 我开始祷告,I started praying, 求神切断它,asking God to cut it off, 但我仍然无法准确地确定,具体的点在哪里。but I couldn’t pinpoint the exact issue. 我的祷告没有任何得着,My prayer didn’t seem to break anything, 无法进行下去了。and I felt stuck.

211日星期二发生的事What Happened on Tuesday, February 11

接下来的一周,The following week, 发生了一些重要的事情,something significant happened,神的时间是完美的。God’s timing was perfect.

那天,Jane即将与志愿者开会,That day, Jane was about to have a meeting with the volunteers, 而我一直在帮忙做饭。and I had been helping with cooking. 突然,我直接撞上了一扇玻璃门,Suddenly, I walked straight into a glass door, 我的蔡司眼镜就撞在了玻璃门上,很贵重的蔡司镜片被撞出一道白印子。My Zeiss glasses hit the glass door so hard that a permanent white mark appeared on the expensive lenses. 起初,我的脑子一片空白。At first, my mind went completely blank. 但不一会儿,But after a while, 我意识到了。I became aware.

我迅速祷告,I quickly prayed, “主,饶恕我。 “Lord, forgive me. 我忘了祷告和保持警惕。我没有警醒。”I forgot to pray and stay alert. I wasn’t being watchful.”

然后一个经文浮现在脑海:Then a verse came to mind: 总要警醒祷告,免得入了迷惑。“Be watchful and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.” “

那时,By then, 我仍然不完全理解刚刚发生了什么。I still didn’t fully understand what had just happened.

晚餐的场景The Dinner Situation

晚餐时,During dinner, 我注意到有些人坐在另一个房间。I noticed some people sitting in the other room. 他们不是我们团队的一部分.They weren’t part of our team 我开始可怜他们。 I started feeling sorry for them. 他们似乎独自坐着,没有人注意他们。They seemed to be sitting alone with no one paying attention to them. 我心里想了要不要请他们,After a few seconds of struggling, 我里面的老好人发动, the “nice guy” inside me won, 我就请他们一起吃了晚餐 so I invited them to dinner.

Jane的对话The Conversation with Jane

聚会结束后,After the gathering, Jane纠正我。Jane corrected me她说,She said, “今天,你就像唐僧 "Today, you were like Tang Seng(中国文化中的著名佛教徒)—— (a famous Buddhist in Chinese Culture)—一个老好人(想讨好每个人的老好人)。a ‘nice guy’ trying to please everyone. 是出于你的肉体,You were acting out of the flesh, 不是出于神。 not from God.” 我有点吃惊。 I was a bit taken aback.

理解界限的教训Understanding the Lesson on Boundaries

Jane 解释说晚餐是为那些付出代价的志愿者准备的,Jane explained that the dinner was prepared for volunteers who had contributed, 这不是为所有人开放的 not an open meal for everyone. 若有剩下的,If there were leftovers, 志愿者可以带回家,volunteers could take them home以节省第二天做饭的时间, to save cooking time the next day. 这晚餐是为表示对她们摆上的尊重。This meal was a way to honour their dedication. 但因为我邀请了不属于这个群体的人 However, since I invited outsiders志愿者没有剩菜可以带回家。nothing was left for the volunteers to take home.

那一刻,At that moment, 我想起了神给我的梦。I remembered the dream God had given me. 神事先警告我内心的这种欲望——God had been warning me in advance about this tendency within me— 想要对每个人都好,帮助人,the need to be nice to everyone and help people, 即使这不是我的责任权力范围。even when it wasn’t my place.

我父亲也是这样。My dad had been the same way. 他总是想帮助别人,He was always trying to help others, 总是觉得别人可怜。always feeling sorry for people. 他总是要帮那些看着可怜的人,He would give to those who appeared to be in need, 即使他们只是利用祂的善良。even when they were just taking advantage of his kindness. 我曾因此论断他。I had judged him for it. 我曾告诉他,I had told him before, “老爸,你为什么总是被人骗?"Dad, why do you keep letting people fool you? 他们并不是真受苦——They’re not actually suffering— 他们知道你会帮他们,they just know you’ll help, 所以利用你!”so they take advantage of you!" 然而我在这里,Yet here I was, 不是做着完全相同的事情吗?doing the exact same thing— 因为我论断了他, because I had judged him. 我也被家族老好人的邪灵迷惑 I would also be led by the family’s "nice guy" spirit. 这才是真正的问题所在—— And this was the real issue— 借着我对父亲的论断,through my judgment of my dad, 我不知不觉地陷入了同样的坚固营垒。I had unknowingly fallen into the same stronghold.

通过顺服突破Breakthrough Through Obedience

那天晚上,当我躺在床上时,That night, as I lay in bed, 我更加恳切地祷告。I prayed even more earnestly. 现在我明白了发生了什么,Now that I came to understand what was going on, 我的祷告有了重点—— my prayers had focus— 是直接和有针对性的。they were direct and targeted. 我宣告神的应许:I declared God’s promises: 因祂受的鞭伤,我得医治。祂受的刑罚使我得平安。”  "By His wounds, I am healed. His punishment brought me peace." 我斥责并切断任何与做老好人坚固营垒的属灵链接,I rebuked and cut off any spiritual ties to the stronghold of being a "nice guy," 拒绝那些束缚我的累代家族咒诅。rejecting the generational patterns that had kept me bound. 我相信神会医治我。I believed that God would heal me. 我确信到明天早上,我会完全康复。I was convinced that by morning, I would be completely well. 但当我醒来时……But when I woke up… 情况却比以往更糟。it was worse than ever. 我的鼻子塞得厉害,My nose was so blocked我感觉窒息。that I felt like I was suffocating. 我完全无法呼吸。I couldn’t breathe at all. 我的喉咙和嘴巴太干涩了,痛苦极了——没有一丁点儿唾液。My throat and mouth were painfully dry—not a single drop of saliva.

我拼命地尝试吞咽来滋润口腔,I desperately tried swallowing to get some moisture, 但没有用。but it didn’t help. 那一刻,In that moment, 我有最强烈的冲动去拿喷剂喷鼻子。I had the strongest urge to reach for the Sinus Spray. 我知道如果我用它,I knew that if I used it, 鼻塞会立即缓解。the relief would be almost instant. 但同时,But at the same time, 我感觉到这次鼻塞有些不同—— I sensed something different about this congestion— 这不仅仅是一个身体问题。this wasn’t just a physical issue. 感觉就像有什么东西紧紧抓住我的鼻子, It felt as if something was gripping my nose shut, 像一种看不见的力量试图窒息我。like an unseen force trying to suffocate me. 这不仅仅是像AI说的那样,液体或压力积聚—— It wasn’t just fluid or pressure buildup like AI had suggested— 它是从灵界来的。It felt spiritual.

我领受到一个令人毛骨悚然的意念,I had a chilling thought: 好像魔鬼说It’s like the devil is saying, 你想要行道吗? "do you want to live out the Word? 你行道我就要整死你。If you do, I’ll make your life miserable. 我要把你扼杀在摇篮里。 I’ll crush you in the cradle. 我知道这不仅仅是自然的疾病—— I knew this was not just a natural illness anymore— 这乃是属灵争战。this was spiritual warfare.

选择信心而非惧怕Choosing Faith Over Fear

我心里起了一股强烈的决心。A fierce determination rose up in me. 就在那时,Right then, 我悔改并斥责我家族讨好人的邪灵离开我。I repented and rebuked the spirit of people-pleasing that had been passed down through my family line. 我命令仇敌离开我,I commanded the enemy to leave拒绝我曾相信的谎言,想要得人们认可的每一个谎言。and rejected every lie I had believed about needing to gain people’s approval. 我勇敢地宣告:I boldly declared: “撒旦,即使你今天杀了我,"Satan, even if you kill me today, 我也不用喷雾。I WILL NOT use the spray. 我宁愿死在这里也不向惧怕屈服。I would rather die here than bow to fear. 就是死,我也要荣耀神的名。”I will honour God’s name, no matter what."

不一会儿… A few moments later… 我感觉我的鼻子开始松动了。I felt like my nose is starting to loosen. 然后一个念头浮现:Then a thought came: “捏住鼻子用力吹气。 "Pinch your nose and blow out hard." 我照做了。I did. 立刻,Immediately,一股气流冲出我的耳朵,a burst of air rushed through my ears, 我的鼻子完全通了。and my nose completely opened up. 一切都通了,堵塞没有了。Everything was clear. 我坐在那里,惊讶地想:I sat there, amazed. “等等……那是真的吗?"Wait… was that real? “这能不能保持下去呢?” Will it stay this way?" 但从那一刻起—— But from that moment— 212日开始——February 12th onwards— 我的鼻塞完全没有了。my nasal congestion was completely gone.

启示:智慧来自简单的顺服Revelation: Wisdom comes from Simple Obedience

我确实得医治了!I’m healed indeed! 214日早上,On the morning of February 14th, 当我刷牙时,as I was brushing my teeth, 我得到了这个启示:I got this: “主,你真是奇妙。"Lord, You are amazing. 你告诉我每天冲洗鼻子,You told me to rinse my nose daily, 但我怀疑。but I doubted. 我一直在怀疑,I kept wondering, ‘冲洗真的能解决鼻塞吗?’”‘Can rinsing really fix this?’" 我真不敢相信, I really couldn’t believe it. 因为这看起来太简单了。because it seemed too simple. 然后突然,Then suddenly, 我明白了为什么耶稣用看起来奇怪或愚拙的方式医治人。I understood why Jesus healed people in ways that seemed strange or foolish. 祂触摸了聋子的耳朵。He touched a deaf man’s ears. 祂吐唾沫在地上,和泥,抹在一个瞎子的眼睛上。He spit on the ground, made mud, and put it on a blind man’s eyes. 祂告诉乃缦去约旦河洗七次。He told Naaman to wash in the Jordan River seven times. 约旦河水有特殊的治疗功能吗?Did the water of Jordan River have special healing properties? 耶稣的唾液有某种特效吗?Did Jesus’ saliva have any special medical effect? 没有。No. 这与治疗手法无关——It wasn’t about the method— 而是有关顺服。it was about obedience.

当我们顺服神的指示时,When we obey God’s instructions, 无论它们看起来多么微小或不合逻辑,no matter how small or illogical they seem, 祂的能力都会释放出来。His power is released. 当我顺服并按照祂的简单指示冲洗鼻子时,The moment I submitted and followed His simple instruction to rinse my nose, 我得医治了。I was healed. 魔鬼讨厌我们顺服神。The devil hates it when we obey God. 智慧来自顺服神的话语。Wisdom comes from obedience to God’s Word.因为每一个顺服的行为都宣告了神在我们生命中的权柄。Because every act of obedience declares God’s authority over our lives.

那天早上,That morning, 我意识到,即使是神的,最小的指示也包含深刻的智慧。I realized that even the smallest instruction from God carries deep wisdom. 要得着神的智慧,To receive God’s wisdom, 我们需要放下自己的逻辑或合理思维,we need to set aside our own logical or reasonable thinking, 我们必须停止依靠自己的聪明。We must stop relying on our own intelligence— 不依赖人的见解。Not on human opinions. 也不是依赖世上的知识。Not on earthly knowledge. 甚至不是依赖AI或科学。Not even on AI or science.

相反,我们必须信靠神,Instead, we must trust in God, 祷告,寻求祂的智慧,pray, seek His wisdom, 并让祂把隐藏的问题显露出来,and allow Him to reveal hidden issues那些可能因论断或不饶恕而透过我们的家族传下来的问题。ones that may have been passed down through our families due to judgment or unforgiveness. 属灵争战是真实的。Spiritual Warfare is Real. 我们不是与属血气的争战。We are not fighting against flesh and blood每天,我们都处在属灵争战中。Every day, we are in a spiritual battle. 而且这争战不会停止。And the battle is ongoing. 但耶稣已经为我们得胜!But Jesus has won the battle for us! 祂的智慧已经为我们预备好了。His wisdom is available for us. 神何等慷慨,祂愿赐智慧给所有人而不斥责人!God gives wisdom generously to all without finding fault!

 

Prayer: 祷告:

Lord Jesus, 主耶稣, You are worthy of it all! 你配得一切! You are the wisdom of God, 你是智慧的父,the light of the world, 你是世界的光, and the perfect revelation of the Father's heart. 天父心意的完美彰显。 In Your great wisdom and love, 在你伟大的智慧和大爱中, You humbled Yourself, 你谦卑虚己, coming to earth to redeem us. 来到世间赎回我们。 The Cross is the wisdom of God. 十字架是天父的智慧。Through the Cross, 藉着十架, You defeated sin, 你胜过罪,broke every stronghold, 打破了一切坚固营垒, and opened the way for us to live in true freedom. 为我们开辟了一条真正得自由的生命之路。 We stand in awe of Your love, 我们敬畏你的爱, Your sacrifice, 你的牺牲, and Your perfect wisdom 和你的智慧完全 far beyond human understanding. —远超过人类的认知。 Your ways are higher than our ways, 你的道路高过我们的道路, and Your thoughts higher than our thoughts. 你的意念高过我们的意念。

Now, 现在, let us open our hearts to Him. 让我们向祂敞开心扉。 With our eyes closed, if you’d like, 如果你愿意,请闭上眼睛, you can call upon His name on your own: 你自己可以呼喊祂的名: "Lord, “主啊, search my heart 求你触摸我心, and reveal anything that hinders me from fully walking in Your truth and wisdom显明任何阻挡我完全行走在你真理和智慧中的隐情—any strongholds of people-pleasing, —任何讨好人,bitter judgment, 苦毒的论断, or unforgiveness that have given the enemy a foothold… 或不饶恕给仇敌留地步的坚固营垒……”Lord, 主耶稣, as I face difficulties, 当我面对困难时, what comes to my mind? 我的第一反应是什么?Have I been relying on my own logic or reasoning我是否一直在依赖自己的逻辑?instead of seeking Your wisdom? 而不是寻求你的智慧? Have I missed opportunities to experience the power of Your Kingdom, 我是否错失过经历你国度能力的机会? which reigns over the kingdom of darkness? 那国度统管着黑暗的国度?Today, 今天, I turn to Your truth! 我转向你真理!
