Bible Verse Meditating, 26 March – 1 April, 2023
- 12 So then, [a]brothers and sisters, we have an obligation, but not to our flesh [our human nature, our worldliness, our sinful capacity], to live according to the [impulses of the] flesh [our nature without the Holy Spirit]—
13 for if you are living according to the [impulses of the] flesh, you are going to die. But if [you are living] by the [power of the Holy] Spirit you are habitually putting to death the sinful deeds of the body, you will [really] live forever.
——Romans 8:12-13 (AMP)
Footnotes
a. Lit brethren. - 2 And if I have the gift of prophecy [and speak a new message from God to the people], and understand all mysteries, and [possess] all knowledge; and if I have all [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love [reaching out to others], I am nothing.
——1 Corinthians 13:2 (AMP) - 21 And Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. 22 And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”
——Matthew 21:21-22 (ESV) - 12 Who can understand his errors or omissions? Acquit me of hidden (unconscious, unintended) faults.
13 Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous (deliberate, willful) sins;
Let them not rule and have control over me.
Then I will be blameless (complete),
And I shall be acquitted of great transgression.
——Psalm 19:12-13 (AMP) - 16 Therefore we do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our outer self is [progressively] wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day by day.
17 For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]!
18 So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable.
——2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (AMP) - 16 From Him the whole body [the church, in all its various parts], joined and knitted firmly together by what every joint supplies, when each part is working properly, causes the body to grow and mature, building itself up [a]in [unselfish] love.
——Ephesians 4:16 (AMP)
19 and not holding fast to the head [of the body, Jesus Christ], from whom the entire body, supplied and knit together by its joints and ligaments, grows with the growth [that can come only] from God.
——Colossians 2:19 (AMP) - 28-29Do you see what we’ve got? An unshakable kingdom! And do you see how thankful we must be? Not only thankful, but brimming with worship, deeply reverent before God. For God is not an indifferent bystander. He’s actively cleaning house, torching all that needs to burn, and he won’t quit until it’s all cleansed. God himself is Fire!
——Hebrews 12:28-29 (MSG)
4 月 1 日 🐟 祷 告
Prayer, 1 April 2023
天父，你是鉴察我心和我一切所行的神，求你指引我当行的路，我渴望在你的话语中藉着圣灵和你建立更深的关系。你看见有时我还会倚靠自己的能力，看人的外貌，不能谦卑地服侍别人，主啊，求你开我的口来颂赞你，求你打开我属灵的耳朵和眼睛，将一切不属于基督地事情统统涂抹掉。我知道你在我前面差遣使者为我开路，我想要紧跟你的步伐和带领，不要忘记你是永恒生命的泉源，只有在你里面，喝你所赐的活水，就绝不干渴。求主怜悯我，赐给我智慧的心，使我明白你要让我成就的在你里面的美意。主啊，我不该任意而行，狂妄自大，你在我祷告以先已经看到了我的挣扎和想要被听见的心里的隐秘，我的肩膀如牛负重，我的朋友背离我而去，是你救我脱离了一切的恐惧。我尝了我主恩的滋味，便知道你是美善。求你帮助我在你的光中以你为乐，我心里所求的是被主使用，把我救出来。神啊，求你不要耽延，求你坚固我的信心和勇气，完成我的硕士文书，我这道这次一定是你在引领我，我的心没有退后，我的脚也没有偏离你的路。神啊，求你为我造清醒的心，使我里面重新有正直的路途。不要丢弃我，不要从我收回你的圣灵。你是为我施行诸般救恩的神，求你按你丰盛的慈悲，回转眷顾我。我求你保守我接下来的申请，求你使我照着圣灵所赐给我的口才，满有信心和智慧。
以上祷告奉主耶稣基督的圣名，
阿门
