"I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns" Philippians 1:6
"我深信那在你們心裡動了善工的,必成全這工,直到耶穌基督的日子" 腓立比書1:6
The
last thing Jesus said on the cross was, "It is finished." At that
moment, it certainly looked like the end. It looked like it was over.
But I believe that wasn't just a statement of fact, it was a statement
of faith.
He was saying to Father God, "I've done My part. I've
fulfilled My destiny.
Now, I've got total trust and confidence in You
that You are going to finish what You started through Me." Even though
it looked like the end, in reality, it was only the beginning.
Remember,
when things look dark in your own life, dare to make a declaration of
faith and say, "It is finished." What you're really saying is, "God, I
know You are going to
finish what You've begun in my life.
You
are going to turn things around. I
know that You are giving me the breaks that I need. Let Your will be
done on earth as it is in heaven!"
Pastor Joel's sharing just bring me back to the words shared by my close friend in China,
我会继续为你们代祷的,
我的感动是
你可以自己一个人把自己很多掏不出来的东西讲给神听,为这些事或者心思祷告,
特别是你想要什么样子的生活,学习,
有没有受到你家人或其他意念的影响,
不仅求神显明你想知道的罪,
更求神把这个罪背后的东西挖出来。
我觉得单独跟神慢慢掏很有用。
然后你自己多挖。
求神让那些可能让你们受苦的心思意念都显出来。
今天是我回国和神独处的第一次突破。
我觉得神把我的心拉回来了,
这一段时间的低落终于换来了信心的一次真实的突破。
愿神借我今天的感动给你们带来鼓励。
也愿神继续光照我们持续的亲近他多结果子。
I believe that God's good work in His children will be done in His time.
God is so faithful to continually let me see the areas shut by darkness ....
