双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：12月27日 耶稣得胜

12月27日

耶稣得胜 

世上的国，成了我主和主基督的国；祂要作王，直到永永远远。

启示录11:15

我们基督徒需要不断倚靠圣灵。我们要记住，基督藉着圣灵住在我们里面。我们的身体是三位一体中第三位（圣灵）的居所，我们不应该像对待仆人一样要求祂帮助我们。

我们应该求祂进来掌管一切，掌管我们的生命。我们应该告诉祂：我们是多么软弱无助，不稳定和不可靠。重要的是，我们要站在一旁，让祂来替我们作所有的选择和决定。我们知道，圣灵为我们祷告（罗马书8章），这对我们中间最软弱的人来说，是何等的安慰。

在基督徒生活中，靠自己不可能挺得住，但祂可以托住我们。如果我们挣扎、反抗和抵御，祂很难托住我们。我们必须放松，安息在主里，放下所有的紧张情绪。我们应该全然倚靠祂，不必为重要的决定而烦恼担心——应该让祂为我们做决定。不要为明天忧虑，祂是明天的上帝，祂能看到开始和结局。不要为生活的需要忧虑，祂能补给供应一切。一个真正得胜的基督徒，尽管有挂虑、有内心冲突和紧张情绪，但仍然相信上帝在掌权，最终必定得胜。倚靠圣灵，我们就会发现，我们许多身心疾病和担忧及内心压力、紧张情绪，都会烟消云散。

无论我们遇到什么困难，无论境况如何，都必须记住，正如彭柯丽所说：“耶稣是得胜者！”

今日祷告：

主耶稣，我祈求祢来掌管这地，就像祢在天上一样。荣耀归主名，阿们。

JESUS IS VICTOR!

The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. Revelation 11:15

We Christians need to rely constantly on the Holy Spirit.We need to remember that Christ dwells in us through the Holy Spirit. Our bodies are the dwelling place of the Third Person of the Trinity. We should not ask Him to help us as we would a servant.

We should ask Him to come in and do it all, to take over in our lives.We should tell Him how weak, helpless, unstable, and unreliable we are.It is important that we stand aside and let Him take over all our choices and decisions. We know that the Holy Spirit prays for us(Romans 8), and what a comfort that should be to the weakest of us.

It is impossible for us to hold out in the Christian life-but He can hold us. It is very difficult for Him to hold us if we are struggling, fighting, and striving. We should just relax and rest in the Lord, letting go all those inner tensions We should rely completely on Him. I should not fret and worry about important decisions-I should let Him make them for me.Do not worry about tomorrow-He is the God of tomorrow. He sees the end from the beginning. Do not worry about the necessities of life-He is there to supply and provide. A true victorious Christian is one who, in spite of worries, inner conflicts, and tensions, is confident that God is in control and will be victorious in the end. In reliance on the Holy Spirit, we will find that many of our physical and mental ailments will disappear along with many worries, inner conflicts, and tensions.

Whatever our difficulties, whatever our circumstances, we must remember, as Corrie ten Boom used to say,“Jesus is victor!

Pray for the Day:

Lord Jesus, I pray that You will come and rule and reign on this earth as You do in heaven.Glorify Your Name, Amen.
