双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：7月20日 天使欢呼

7月20日

天使欢呼

“除他以外，别无拯救；因为在天下人间，没有赐下别的名，我们可以靠着得救。」”

使徒行传4:12

唯一可以让你生命转变的方式就是相信主耶稣基督是你个人的主和救赎主。你不必先理顺你的生活。你也不必试图放弃一些让你远离上帝的习惯。你已经做了多次的尝试，但都失败了。你可以“照着你的本相”来到神的面前。瞎子照着他的本相来了；麻风病人照着他的本相来了；十字架上的强盗照着他的本相来了。无论你在哪里，你都可以照着你的本相现在就来到基督面前，天堂的天使都会为你欢呼雀跃！

圣经中记载的一些最伟大、最珍贵的话语竟然是撒旦自己说的（虽然并不是他有意为之）。在与上帝谈论约伯时，他说：“你岂不是四面圈上篱笆围护他和他的家，并他一切所有的吗？他手所做的都蒙你赐福；他的家产也在地上增多。”（约伯记1:10）

回顾自己的一生，我记得当我接受耶稣基督为救主和生命的主那一刻。天使也欢呼雀跃！从那时起，我与撒旦和魔鬼们进行了无数次争战。当我祷告、相信——当我全然降服于主、全然委身于基督时——我确信上帝“为我设置了一道篱笆”，天使就会来保护我。

圣经说生有时，死有时。当我离世归天时，天使会在那里安慰我。即使在至暗时刻，他也会给我平安和喜乐，引导我来到上帝的面前，我将永远与主同在。感谢上帝差派服役的天使带来祝福！

今日祷告：

天父，感谢祢，当我还深陷罪中，祢就接纳了我这个罪人。祈求你改变我的生命。谢谢祢派天使来保护我；奉耶稣的名，阿们。

AND THE ANGELS REJOICE!

Neither is there salvation in any other:for there is none other name under heaven given among men,whereby we must be saved.Acts 4:12

The one and only way you can be converted is to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your own personal Lord and Savior.You don’t have to straighten out your life first.You don’t have to try to give up some habit that is keeping you from God.You have tried all that and failed many times.You can come“just as you are.”The blind man came just as he was.The leper came just as he was.The thief on the cross came just as he was.You can come to Christ right now wherever you are and just as you are and the angels of heaven will rejoice!

Some of the greatest and most precious words recorded in all of Scripture were spoken by Satan himself(not that he intended it to be so).In his discussion with God about Job,he said,“Hast not thou made a hedge about him,and about his house,and about all that he hath on every side?Thou hast blessed the work of his hands and his substance is increased in the land”(Job 1:10).

As I look back over my life I remember the moment I came to Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.The angels rejoiced!Since then I have been in thousands of battles with Satan and his demons.As I yielded my will and committed myself totally to Christ-as I prayed and believed-I am convinced that God“put a hedge about me,”a hedge of angels to protect me.

The Scripture says there is a time to be born and a time to die.And when my time to die comes and angel will be there to comfort me.He will give me peace and joy even at that most critical hour,and usher me into the presence of God,and I will dwell with the Lord forever.Thank God for the ministry of His blessed angels!

Pray for the Day:

Thank You,Father,for accepting me,a sinner,when I was steeped in sin.I pray that You will transform my life.And I thank You for the presence of Your angels who protect me;in Jesus’Name,Amen.
