The workers came in late afternoon,

Surprisingly received the same amount of wage as the workers hired for the vineyard in the early morning.

The early morning workers complained about the deal they had agreed with the landowner of the vineyard.

However, those who came in late felt extremely thankful for what they didn’t deserve. (refer to Matthew 20:1-16)

In heaven, no matter Gentiles or Jews, who know they are accepted not based on their performance, but God’s grace, both will rejoice together.

“Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.” (Romans 15:10)

「驕傲自我」的心容易吸引「苦毒」來依附，

靈魂漸漸受「苦毒」腐化，使心發臭，一旁的人都可以聞到。

當「苦毒」造成心傷，向主求「聖靈恩膏油」來塗抹醫治。

當「苦毒」來試探敲門時，只有「感恩」能快快送牠走。

邀主耶穌的「愛」來充滿心房，

你心必恢復平靜，散發主馨香。

你信主耶穌後的新地位：

1. 你是上帝的孩子，你屬於上帝。（約翰福音1:12；哥林多前書6:19）
2. 你的名稱是聖徒，義人。（哥林多前書1:2； 羅馬書5:1）
3. 你是天國公民，魔鬼不能控告或勝過你。（腓立比書3:20；約翰一書5:18）
4. 上帝信實地裝備你成聖。（以弗所書2:10）

God is good, to those who fear Him.

He hides me in His refuge.

He shines on me and save me in His unfailing love.

I call out to Him and He heard me and delivered me from my enemies.

Love the Lord.

Wait on Him.

Be strong and take heart.

Love the Lord,

With all your heart and soul.

<lyrics inspired from the meditation of Psalm 31>

你為什麼需要主耶穌？

1. 出生前的原罪使我們與上帝隔絕，使我們不會把該給上帝的感謝歸給祂，而是佔為己有，凡事自己作主。這個原罪的結果就是落在永遠的死亡裡。
2. 主耶穌在十字架上已經償還人類的罪債。信主使你的罪債與詛咒全轉移到主耶穌身上。
3. 上帝赦免那些相信主耶穌的人，並接納他/她成為祂的兒女，讓他們今生有豐盛的生命。在末日上帝的審判台前，主耶穌宣告信主的人屬於祂，可以得永生

「就是神的義因信耶穌基督加給一切相信的人，並沒有分別。 因為世人都犯了罪，虧缺了神的榮耀， 如今卻蒙神的恩典，因基督耶穌的救贖，就白白地稱義。」（羅馬書3:22-24）

「我們在愛子裡得蒙救贖，罪過得以赦免。」（歌羅西書1:14）

「神愛世人，甚至將他的獨生子賜給他們，叫一切信他的不致滅亡，反得永生。」 （約翰福音3:16）

Prophecy that aligns with the truth of God is a heads-up from God to affirm, confirm, encourage or alert me to take action in prayer.

“It will come about after this

That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind;

And your sons and daughters will prophesy,

Your old men will dream dreams,

Your young men will see visions.” (Joel 2:28)

Mediating God’s word means murmuring or speaking His word back to yourself, which will strengthen your mind because the God of truth is near you.

On the contrary, murmuring or speaking negative words to yourself or others will weaken your mind because the devil of lie is near you.

“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you” (James 4:8)

“…meditates on His law day and night…” (Psalm 1:2b)

認識上帝的屬性多，靈裡的信心(faith)就大；

降服於主耶穌的心志堅定，肉體裡的意念(mind)就強。

堅強的意念如大樹根，相信上帝是良善，深植於主耶穌的真理，警醒禱告爭戰得勝；

軟弱的意念如小草苗，在主和世界之間搖擺不定，懷疑上帝或自己，易陷入試探而跌倒。

「要警醒禱告，免得陷入試探。你們心靈雖然願意，肉體卻是軟弱的。」（馬太福音26:41）

「他是心懷二意的人，在他所有的道路上都搖擺不定。」(雅各書1:8)

Speaking God’s word through your faith in Jesus Christ will send out spiritual force to shake the material world.

“Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.” (Genesis 1:3)
