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://api.pastoralcareschool.org/twa/

親親爸父經文:(詩篇 127:1-2; 撒母耳記下 23:24-24:25; 使徒行傳 3:1-26; 箴言 16:21-23)

若不是耶和華建造房屋，建造的人就枉然勞力；若不是耶和華看守城池，看守的人就枉然警醒。

2 你們清晨早起，夜晚安歇，吃勞碌得來的飯，本是枉然；惟有耶和華所親愛的，必叫他安然睡覺。

詩篇 127:1-2

7 你使我心裡快樂，勝過那豐收五穀新酒的人。

8 我必安然躺下睡覺，因為獨有你 ─ 耶和華使我安然居住。

詩篇 4:7-8

24 你躺下，必不懼怕；你躺臥，睡得香甜。

箴言 3:24

6 彼得說：金銀我都沒有，只把我所有的給你：我奉拿撒勒人耶穌基督的名，叫你起來行走！

7 於是拉著他的右手，扶他起來；他的腳和踝子骨立刻健壯了，

8 就跳起來，站著，又行走，同他們進了殿，走著，跳著，讚美神。

9 百姓都看見他行走，讚美神；

使徒行傳 3:6-9

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: 鑽石機會! 安然睡覺! 睡得香甜!

這三年半的新冠肺炎使很多人都充满着憂心與焦慮，睡得不好! 你呢?

今日的四段主题經文的首三段是我最常用幫助失眠的人不再失眠而且能睡得香甜的經文。

第四段經文是主使用我去為很多人帶來醫治釋放拯救的經文。留意彼得祇用很短的一句就為那生來是瘸腿的使他不單能行，而且跳起來!

所以，如果你最近或一直有失眠，我相信這疫情為我們帶來一個鑽石機會得着主的醫治，並且領取主為他所愛兒女的應許，就是睡得香甜，相信嗎?

相信的話，現在請你好像接一份大禮物一樣的打開雙手，我現在好像昔日彼得一樣的為你祈禱:

我奉拿撒勒人耶穌基督的名，叫你每晚安然睡覺，而且睡得香甜! 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。

Diamond opportunity! Sleep granted! Sweet sleep!

Nicky Gumbel's Bible in one year today:

https://evoturi-zcmp.campaign-view.eu/ua/viewinbrowser?od=3zd157131b6d471dd26510cd1848ef8722&rd=119344be5df9cda1&sd=119344be5df969fa&n=124296e03d89b4&mrd=119344be5df969e4&m=1

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 127:1-2, 2 Samuel 23:24-24:25; Acts 3:1-26; Proverbs 16:21-23)

Today's key passages:

Unless the Lord builds the house,
    the builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
    the guards stand watch in vain.
2 In vain you rise early
    and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
    for he grants sleep to  those he loves.
Psalm 127:1-2

  Fill my heart with joy
    when their grain and new wine abound.
8 In peace I will lie down and sleep,
    for you alone, Lord,
    make me dwell in safety.
Psalm 4:7-8

When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
    when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

Proverbs 3:24

6 Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” 7 Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. 8 He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping,and praising God. 9 When all the people saw him walking and praising God, 10 they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

Acts 3:6-10

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

My Listening

The topic I received today from Jesus is: Diamond opportunity! Sleep granted! Sweet sleep!

Lots of people cannot sleep well due to this 3 1/2 years of pandemic! How about you?

The first three main passages today are the most used passages for me to help those who cannot sleep to have sleep, or even sweet sleep.

The fourth passage is the one for Jesus to use me as a channel to bring healing, freedom and salvation to many the past many years! Look closely at this verse that Peter used only one sentence to heal a man who was lame from birth not only to be able to walk but to jump and to praise God!

So, if you cannot sleep well recently, I think this time of crisis is a time for you to be more closer to Jesus and to receive His healing, His promise that all He loves will have good sleep, sweet sleep! Do you believe that?

My wife and I believe that and have been experiencing that for many years so we always have good and sweet sleep everyday, even in the most stressful, critical and painful time!

If you believe and would like to receive God's promise of sweet sleep, please open your hands like you are ready to receive a big and heavy gift from the Holy Spirit and let me pray for you now:

"In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, sweet sleep! 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?

親親爸父, 唱詩歌頌

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

親親爸父經文:(詩篇 126:4-6; 撒母耳記下 22:21-23:23; 使徒行傳 2:1-47; 箴言 16:19-20)

4 耶和華啊，求你使我們被擄的人歸回，好像南地的河水復流。

5 流淚撒種的，必歡呼收割！

6 那帶種流淚出去的，必要歡歡樂樂地帶禾捆回來！

詩篇 126:4-6

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: 鑽石機會! 流淚撒種，歡呼豐收!

昨天的主題是 "被擄的回家，主果然為我們行了大事! "，今日是續集，主行的大事就是藉着我們的順服，聽教聽話，把握現今這傳福音的鑽石時刻，我們縱然是流淚撒種，辛苦耕耘，但必歡呼豐收，這是主的應許!

"流淚撒種，歡呼豐收"對我來説特别有意義，因為楊平忠大主教為每一位Anglican Mission的主教预備一條刺綉上 "流淚撒種，歡呼豐收"的白色聖帶，在我們主教祝聖禮時送給我們。所以過去十四年當我戴起此聖帶的時間都想到主藉楊平忠大主教帶來的啓示:
我們祇要流淚撒種，辛苦耕耘，必定歡呼豐收!

親眼看見大兒子2016年2月4日被聖公會剛果教省主教長Masimango大主教按立為會吏，同年9月26日被聖公會盧旺達教省主教長Kolini大主教按立為牧師，而自己和楊平忠大主教都戴着"流淚撒種，歡呼豐收"的聖帶，確是人生一個很大的豐收時刻! 傷心的是我最親愛的屬靈父親楊平忠大主教已於去年十二月安返天家，感謝天父藉著這位忠心的僕人為很多教會和主的兒女帶來很大的祝福，見証了 "流淚撒種，歡呼豐收"!
