Romans 8:35-37 (NKJV) Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
Are you facing a difficult situation at work?
Are you facing a crisis in your business?
Are you being persecuted for your faith in God at work or in school?
Are you facing any hard-pressed situation?
What is God saying about your situation?
Have you sought His face in your quiet time with Him? Book Chapter and verse of His assurance to help you anchor your faith in Him.
Have you taken time to listen to preaching and teachings so that faith comes while listening to His word? Remember, keep planting and watering the seed by listening and reading up on topics that are relevant to the situation that you are facing. Squeeze fear out of your life by replacing it with the word that produces faith and establish peace in your heart and mind. The devil wants you to stumble and fall while looking at the circumstances. Jesus wants you to stay focused on His word especially the promise that He has given you when you spend time with Him in the closet. Remember, faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. The personal word that’s given to you is the substance of faith.
We live in a broken and fallen world where the devil is the god of this age. He is a manipulator, deceiver, and thief. There is absolutely nothing good in the devil. Jesus has given us a heads up regarding the scheme of the enemy and the hierarchy of the devil’s establishment. We must not allow fear to torment us. We should rather allow faith to build up in our hearts. The same energy spent on thinking about fearful outcomes can be spent on meditating on the perfect love of God. Faith is established when God has spoken to us personally regarding what we are to do. This can be done when we spend quality time in quiet moments with God by worshipping, praying, and reading the word. Jesus has declared God to us and given us the full counsel of the word of God to lead, guide us and to have the ability to differentiate between good and evil. Faith will grow into a firm conviction that refuses to stumble and fall regardless of what the enemy throws into our path in their attempt to pluck the seed of the word out of our hearts!
Sermon Series: Teacher, Do You Not Care that We Are Perishing?
你是否正面临困境？
罗马书8:35-37 谁能使我们与基督的爱隔绝呢？难道是患难吗？是困苦吗？是逼迫吗？是饥饿吗？是赤身露体吗？是危险吗？是刀剑吗？ 如经上所记：我们为你的缘故终日被杀；人看我们如将宰的羊。然而，靠着爱我们的主，在这一切的事上已经得胜有余了。
你是否在工作中遭遇困境？
你是否正面临事业危机？
你是否在工作或学校里因为对神的信仰而受到逼迫？
你是否正拮据困窘？
对此，神对你说了什么？
你有没有在与祂安静相处的时候寻求祂的面？记下圣经章节中祂的应许来帮助你将信心锚定在祂里面。
你有没有花时间听讲道和教导，好让信心在听道的时候临到？记住，要通过聆听和阅读与你所面临的情况相关的话题来持续播种和浇灌。将恐惧逐出你的生命，代之以能产生信心的话语，并在你的心思意念中建立平安。魔鬼巴不得你被眼前的光景吓得失足跌倒。耶稣则希望你在密室里与祂独处时专注于祂的话语，尤其是祂给你的应许。记住，信心是所望之事的实底，是未见之事的确据。所给你的个人话语就是信仰的实底。
我们生活在一个破碎堕落的世界里，魔鬼是这个时代的主。牠是操纵者、骗子和小偷。在牠里面绝无良善。耶稣已提醒我们仇敌的阴谋及魔鬼机构中的等级制度。我们决不能让恐惧折磨我们。我们更应该让信心在我们心中建立起来。与其把时间花在思考后果会有多可怕，不如花在冥想上帝完美的爱上。当神亲自告诉我们该做的事时，信心就建立起来了。当我们通过敬拜、祈祷和阅读神的话语与神共度安静宝贵的时光时，信心就建立起来了。耶稣已经向我们宣告了上帝，并赐给我们上帝圣言的全部忠告来带领、引导我们，并拥有分辨善恶的能力。我们的信心将会成长为坚定的信念，无论敌人为了把圣言的种子从我们心里偷走而在我们的道路上使出何样的绊子，我们始终不会失足跌倒！
