双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：2月21日 得胜有余

得胜有余

“然而，靠着爱我们的主，在这一切的事上已经得胜有余了。”

罗马书8:37

很多基督徒过着失败的生活。可能因为某些语言渗透到我们的词汇中的影响，当我们说到撤退、降服这些词的时候，并没有不好的意思。但是圣经要我们得胜、占领、征服。用的都是战争的词汇。只有得胜的军队才会占领和征服；战败的军队只能投降和撤退。

我们高唱战歌，基督精兵勇往直前。但是一遇到撒旦的攻击，我们好像俘虏，或者更糟糕的是，像反战逃兵。但是，作为基督徒，我们不必过着失败的生活。神要我们过得胜的生活，不断胜过罪的辖制。

要战胜罪，只有一个办法。就是要与基督亲密同行，让罪不再在你的生命中泛滥。你只会偶然被过犯所胜，而不会像以往那样受罪的捆绑。

你要了解什么是与基督同行。每天早晨醒来，感受主的同在。每天日落时，经历神的平安，当你进入睡眠的时候，也因认识基督而平静安稳。这是何等令人欣喜啊！

如果你决定与基督同行，你就会很惊奇的发现，主将赐给你足够的力量战胜罪。到那天，靠着爱你的主，你也可以得胜有余了。

今日祷告：

父啊，我的主，赐给我信心来信靠祢，不断得胜，使更多的灵魂归向基督。奉耶稣的圣名，阿们。

MORE THAN CONQUERORS

…We are more than conquerors through him that loved us.Romans 8:37

 So many Christians live defeated lives.Perhaps it is because of some of the language that has crept into our vocabulary.Our intentions are good when we talk about retreats,surrendering,and such,but the Bible speaks of victory,occupation,and becoming overwhelming conquerors.The language is the vocabulary of war.Only victorious armies occupy and conquer.Vanquished armies surrender and retreat.

We sing“Onward,Christian soldiers,marching as to war,”but so often when Satan mounts an attack against us we behave as if we are prisoners of war,or worse,conscientious objectors.But as Christians,we don’t have to live defeated lives.God wants us to live victorious lives,lives that are constantly conquering sin.

There is only one way to have victory over sin.That is to be so closely waling with Christ that sin no more abounds in your life,that sin becomes the exception with you rather than the rule as it was before.

Discover what it is to walk in the way of Christ.Know what a thrilling experience it is to wake up every morning and sense His presence!Realize what a joyous experience it is at sunset to know the peace of God,and then as you retire,to sleep as only those can sleep who know Christ!

If you determine to walk with Christ and then do it,you will be amazed at the strength He gives you to overcome sin.In that day you,too,will be more than a conqueror through Him who loves you.

Pray for the Day:

Father,O Lord,give me that faith to trust in You,to win the victories,to win souls for Christ;in Jesus’Name,Amen.
