安靜

1. 停下來. 靜一靜

2. 等候主. 深呼吸經歷主之平安, 享受神同在, 呼出你的憂慮

讚美及感恩
1. 思想最近使你開心歡笑的時刻
2. 為那些時刻及有關的人感恩

知罪，認罪，悔改 (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method 轉位靈修法 https://bishopsilas.blogspot.com/2009/08/count-down-5-subject-shifting-devotion.html

1. 求聖靈光照，使你知罪，願意認罪悔改
"親愛的聖靈, 求你光照我心靈的深處, 使我看見我的罪, 我和主耶穌的阻隔,
求你幫助, 奉主耶穌基督名求。阿們。"

2. 透過聖靈的工作, 安靜一刻, 省察自己, 之後祈禱:
「親愛的主耶穌，感謝你為我的罪釘死在十字架上，我願意在你面前承認我的罪（凡聖靈光照到的，請逐一說出），求你用你的寶血赦免我的罪，我願意打開心門讓你作我的救主，求你救贖我，我願意一生跟隨你讓你作我生命的主，求你帶領我。聖靈，求你充滿我，使我得著恩賜及力量去侍奉主、見證主，奉主耶穌基督名求，阿們。」

3. 司徒德牧師每天早上的 "活像基督"祈禱 John Stott's daily prayer of Christlikeness (Christopher J.H. Wright, Cultivating the fruit of the Spirit. Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2017, 13)

"天父，求你使我今天活在你的同在中，你一天比一天更喜悦我。

主耶穌，求你使我今天能背起我的十字架去跟隨你。

聖靈，求你在今天充滿我，使你的果子能彰顯在我的生命中: 仁愛，喜樂，和平，忍耐，恩慈，良善，信實，温柔及節制。"

親親爸父, 唱詩歌頌

今日親親親爸父經文連結: http://twa.pastoralcareschool.org/

親親爸父經文:(詩篇 59:6-13; 士師記 2:10-3:31; 路加福音 22:14-34; 箴言 14:1-2)

31 主又說：西門！西門！撒但想要得著你們，好篩你們像篩麥子一樣；

32 但我已經為你祈求，叫你不至於失了信心，你回頭以後，要堅固你的弟兄。

33 彼得說：主阿，我就是同你下監，同你受死，也是甘心！

34 耶穌說：彼得，我告訴你，今日雞還沒有叫，你要三次說不認得我。

路加福音 22:31-34

現在讓你有一個安靜的時刻，給聖靈一個空間，讓主耶穌可以藉着剛才讀過的經文，親自對你説話。

今日我從主耶穌領受的主題是: 不要被災難篩走了和親友的關係!

在過往四年多的疫情，我看到很多人和人的關係被篩走了，更有不少是建立了數十年關係的朋友，教會的弟兄姊妹，甚至是親人，更甚的是夫婦!

特別是夫婦的關係，因為合作少了，對抗多了; 拖手少了，距離多了; 情話少了，苦毒多了; 欣賞少了，批評多了; 愛少了，恨多了!

為何會弄到如斯田地? 皆因撒但的詭計，主耶穌一早已得知這，所以在今日的經文警告彼得，也在今日警告我們，不要掉以輕心，被魔鬼先藉新冠肺炎帶來的災難及之後不少的天災人禍篩走了很多基督徒與主親蜜的關係，然後篩走很多和人親蜜的關係!

願望我們如果因各種災難的恐嚇已經和主耶穌為我們預備的路背道而馳，使我們與主愈離愈遠的話，現在要把握機會回頭奔向主耶穌，自然夫婦關係就會被主重燃愛火，破碎了的友情可以復和，撒但的詭計完全失敗!

親愛的主耶穌,
求你使我們能把握機會回頭奔向你，被主重燃愛火，做個復和的使者，撒但的詭計完全失敗，奉主耶穌基督名求，阿們。

省察問題

1. 今日的信息對你有何啓發? 主耶穌現在對你説甚麽話?

2. 你的下一步是什麼行動?

家庭角落

找機會與家人一起分享今日的領受。

Bible in one year by Nicky Gumbel:

https://bibleinoneyear.org/en/

Silence

1. Put on your “brakes” and stop for a moment of silence

2. Wait for God. Breathe deep for God's peace and feel His presence. Exhale your worries.

Praise and Thanksgiving

1. Think through your day, all the times that made you smile

2. Thank God for all those moments, and for all those people

3. Sing a song to praise God (you are welcome to use "Father, I adore you" which I have been singing every morning for the past 20 years or your own choice to praise God)

Father, I adore You, lay my life before You, how I love You.

Jesus, I adore You, lay my life before You, how I love You.

Spirit, I adore You, lay my life before You, how I love You.

Confession and Repentance (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method)

https://bishopsilas.blogspot.com/2009/08/count-down-5-subject-shifting-devotion.html

1. Pray for the Holy Spirit to shine on you that you are able to discover your sins and be willing to repent:

“Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God and having Jesus as my Lord. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”

2. Through the Holy Spirit, examine yourself for a short silence and then pray:

"Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sins to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gifts to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."

3. John Stott's daily prayer of Christlikeness (Christopher J.H. Wright, Cultivating the fruit of the Spirit. Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2017, 13)

(Please click this link to see how God used John Stott to change my life:https://bishopsilas.blogspot.com/2009/07/

"Heavenly Father, I pray that this day I may live in your presence and please you more and more.

Lord Jesus, I pray that this day I may take up my cross and follow you.

Holy Spirit, I pray that this day you will fill me with yourself and cause your fruit to ripen in my life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."

The Word, Time with Abba (Psalm 59:6-13, Judges 2:10-3:31; Luke 22:14-34; Proverbs 14:1-2)

Today's key passage:

31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
33 But he replied, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.”
34 Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.”

Luke 22:31-34

Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage we have just read. Offer this time to Jesus as you listen to Him.

My Listening

The topic I received today from Jesus is: Don't let calamity to sift away the relationship with your spouse and friends!

I have seen quite a number of couples having lots of problems the past four years in the pandemic and other calamity, their relationship is being sifted away by COVID-19 and all kinds of disaster, not only so, with their friends too!

Many couples have less co-operation, more confrontation; less holding hands together, more distancing; less loving words, more bitter words; less appreciation, more criticism; less love, more hate!

How can relationship become like this?

Well, it's all because of Satan cunning scheme, but Jesus knew it in advance so that he warned Peter in today's passage and warn us now not to take it for granted that the relationship of you and your spouse will not be taken away.

Satan's plan is first to sift away the relationship of you and Jesus, then sift away the relationship of you and your spouse, and then sift away relationship with more people!

May we turn back to Jesus if we have been away from Him because of calamity or other stress and worries. May you take this opportunity to run to Jesus and then the relationship of you and your spouse, you and your friends will be reignited and Satan's cunning scheme completely destroyed!

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help more husbands and wives to take this opportunity to turn back to you so that their relationship can be reignited and Satan's cunning scheme completely destroyed. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

  Reflect on these questions:
1. What inspiration have you received from today's catch and what have you heard from Jesus now?

2. What is your next step to be more closer to Jesus, to be holy - that is to do what Jesus wants you to do and not to do what Jesus wants you not to do?

  Family Corner:
Find an opportunity to share with your family the importance of today's message.

親親爸父經文:(詩篇 59:1-5; 士師記 1:1-2:9; 路加福音 21:29-22:13; 箴言 13:24-25)

34 你們要謹慎，恐怕因貪食、醉酒，並今生的思慮累住你們的心，那日子就如同網羅忽然臨到你們；

35 因為那日子要這樣臨到全地上一切居住的人。

36 你們要時時儆醒，常常祈求，使你們能逃避這一切要來的事，得以站立在人子面前。

路加福音 21:34-36

現在讓你有一個安靜的時刻，給聖靈一個空間，讓主耶穌可以藉着剛才讀過的經文，親自對你説話。

今日我從主耶穌領受的主題是: 這日子如同網羅忽然臨到!

難道二千年前耶穌預言的日子就是現在?

可能你會話: "都幾似喎!"

不過你試想想，這二千年來發生過幾多次天災人禍，受苦受害的人比 "新冠肺炎"，俄羅斯烏克蘭或中東的戰爭可能引致的第三次世界大戰是否更嚴重?

所以其實主耶稣想告訴我們，不要被安逸的生活，今生的思慮浪費了你去付出時間藉儆醒禱告去和主建立穏固及親蜜的關係，因為當急難有如"新冠肺炎"、戰爭或經濟危機如同網羅忽然臨到的時候，沒有了神同在，站在你面前的不是主耶稣，而是懼怕，焦慮，煩燥，無望的話，我們便逃避不到魔鬼因我們没有了神同在的保護，一舉將我們踢落黑暗中!

千萬不要中計啊! 耶稣是主係你唯一的選擇!
