双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：11月29日 撒但的工作

11月29日

撒但的工作

我们藉这爱子的血得蒙救赎，过犯得以赦免……

——以弗所书1:7

撒但仍然在世界上工作。我这样说是有圣经依据的。魔鬼真的存在，并且控制着无数年轻人。他们的心从未向耶稣基督打开。牠让各种机构通过写色情文学，拍色情电影来污染年轻的心灵。牠让身居高位的学者教授享乐主义和放纵哲学。

每天我都会接触到这样那样的人，他们有的是生活混乱的人，陷入到突如其来的痛苦中，有的是被伪科学所诱惑的知识分子，有的是被不安全感所囚困的富人。他们对任何目标都没有执着感，他们对自我飘忽不定。我渴望拉住他们每一个人的手，带他们到那一位的面前，因祂说“凡劳苦担重担的人，可以到我这里来，我就使你们得安息。”

今日祷告

主啊，有如此多的人还不认识祢！请使用我带领人走出破碎的生活来到祢的面前，因为唯有祢才能使人得享满足。奉主耶稣基督的圣名，阿们。

Satan at Work

In whom we have redemption…the forgiveness of sins.

—Ephesians 1:7

Satan is at work in our world. The Bible is my authority. He exists and he has control over thousands of young people, whose hearts have never been captured by Jesus Christ. He has hundreds of agents writing pornographic literature and producing sex movies to pollute young minds. He has intellectuals in high positions teaching a hedonistic and permissive philosophy.

Daily I come in contact with mixed-up people who are caught in the anguish of their own unpreparedness, intellectuals who have been seduced by false science, and rich men who are held in the grip of insecurity. They have no commitment to any goal. They lack an anchor for their real selves.And I long to take every one of them by the hand and lead them into the presence of the One who said,“Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Prayer for the day

So many are without You, Lord! Use me to lead others from a destructive course to the one which will give them the satisfaction that only You can give.
