双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：11月13日  信是事实

信是事实

就当存着诚心，和充足的信心，来到神面前。

希伯来书10:22

不要在意感觉，你不是靠感觉得救的，你可能感觉到圣灵，也可能没有。要凭着信心接受祂，看为事实。祂现在就住在你里面，帮助你过基督徒的生活。祂住在你里面是要在你里面赞美、荣耀、高举基督，使你能过一个快乐、得胜、发光、荣耀基督的生活。

圣经说：“你们要被圣灵充满”（以弗所书5:18）。如果你被圣灵充满了，那么你就会结出圣灵的果子，就是“仁爱，喜乐，和平，忍耐，恩慈，良善，信实，温柔，节制”（加拉太书5:22-23）。让圣灵充满不是可有可无的，这是一条必须服从的命令——一个必须履行的责任。

你怎么知道自己被圣灵充满呢？怎样才能被圣灵充满呢？这是你必须经历的一些情感体验吗？不一定！当你把你所知道的自己全都交给你所认识的祂时，你就可以凭信心相信你被圣灵充满了。这意味着祂可以拥有你的一切。

委身实际上是降服——完全、绝对、无条件、不可逆转的降服。“所以弟兄们，我以神的慈悲劝你们，将身体献上，当作活祭，是圣洁的，是神所喜悦的；你们如此事奉，乃是理所当然的。”（罗马书12:1）。只有圣洁的、被圣灵充满的基督徒才能胜过世界、肉体和魔鬼。圣灵会为你争战。“我们并不是与属血气的争战，乃是与管辖这幽暗世界的掌权者争战”（以弗所书6:12）。这是一场属灵的战争。你无法用普通武器与这三个仇敌争战。只有当我们成为管道，让圣灵通过我们争战时，我们才能彻底得胜。不要对基督有所保留。让祂完全成为你生命的主宰。祂说：“你们称呼我夫子，称呼我主，你们说的不错，我本来是。”（约翰福音13:13）

今日祷告：

天父，我相信祢。求祢赐给我完全的信心，使我信靠祢，加添我的信心；奉耶稣的名，阿们。

FAITH IS A FACT

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith. Hebrew 10:22

Disregard feelings. You’re not saved by feeling, and you may or may not feel the Spirit. Accept Him by faith as a fact. He lives within you right now to help you live the Christian life. He is living in you in order to magnify, glorify, and exalt Christ in you so that you can live a happy, victorious, radiant, Christ-honoring life.

The Bible commands, “Be filled with the Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18). If you are filled with the Spirit, then you are going to produce the fruit of the Spirit, which is“love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance”(Galatians 5:22-23).To be filled with the Spirit is not optional.It is a command to be obeyed-a duty to be done.

How do you know that you are filled? And how can you be filled? Is it some emotional experience through which you must pass? Not necessarily. When you give all you know of yourself to all that you know of Him, then you can accept by faith that you are filled with the Spirit of God. That means that He can have all of you.

Commitment actually is surrender-total, absolute, unconditional, irreversible surrender. “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service” (Romans 12:1).

It is only the consecrated, Spirit-filled Christian who can have victory over the world, the flesh, and the devil.It is the Holy Spirit who will do the fighting for you. “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers of darkness”(Ephesians 6:12). This is spiritual warfare. You cannot fight against these three enemies with normal weapons. Only as we become channels and let the Holy Spirit do the fighting through us are we going to get complete victory. Don’t hold back anything from Christ.Let Him be completely the Lord and Master of your life. He said, “Ye call me Master and Lord, and ye say well: for so I am” (John 13:13).

Pray for the Day:

Father, I believe in You. Give me that full assurance to trust You, and increase my faith; in Jesus’Name, Amen.
