OT 第 417天 - 神呼喚了你多久? 你答了他嗎? (請按此處收聼廣東話 )

安靜
1. 停下來. 靜一靜
2. 等候主. 深呼吸經歷主之平安, 感受主的臨在, 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
3. 敞開心懷讚美主

我的口要說出讚美耶和華的話；惟願凡有血氣的都永永遠遠稱頌他的聖名。詩篇 145:21

認罪悔改 (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method 轉位靈修法 http://bishopsilas.blogspot.ca/2009/08/count-down-5-subject-shifting-devotion.html)

1. 求聖靈在你生命中工作
"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事奉主、見證主。奉主耶穌基督名求，阿們。」

聆聽主話 (撒母耳記上 3:1-10)

Chinese (Union): https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Samuel+3&version=CUV

童子撒母耳在以利面前事奉耶和華。當那些日子，耶和華的言語稀少，不常有默示。

2 一日，以利睡臥在自己的地方；他眼目昏花，看不分明。

3 神的燈在神耶和華殿內約櫃那裡，還沒有熄滅，撒母耳已經睡了。

4 耶和華呼喚撒母耳。撒母耳說：我在這裡！

5 就跑到以利那裡，說：你呼喚我？我在這裡。以利回答說：我沒有呼喚你，你去睡罷。他就去睡了。

6 耶和華又呼喚撒母耳。撒母耳起來，到以利那裡，說：你呼喚我？我在這裡。以利回答說：我的兒，我沒有呼喚你，你去睡罷。

7 那時撒母耳還未認識耶和華，也未得耶和華的默示。

8 耶和華第三次呼喚撒母耳。撒母耳起來，到以利那裡，說：你又呼喚我？我在這裡。以利才明白是耶和華呼喚童子。

9 因此以利對撒母耳說：你仍去睡罷；若再呼喚你，你就說：耶和華啊，請說，僕人敬聽！撒母耳就去，仍睡在原處。

10 耶和華又來站著，像前三次呼喚說：撒母耳啊！撒母耳啊！撒母耳回答說：請說，僕人敬聽！

撒母耳記上 3:1-10

現在讓你有一段安靜的時間, 給聖靈一個空間, 讓主耶穌可以藉着你剛才讀過的經文, 對你說話:

我的聆聽

Do you know how to listen to God? Is it difficult to listen to God's voice? If you have not yet heard God's voice, do you know how many times God called you already?

讓我們聽聽 John Goldingay 教授的教導:

God had not yet spoken a prophetic word to Samuel, and thus Samuel did not "recognize" Yahweh. Admittedly that is rather a chilling phrase, given the way it has been used of Eli's sons in 2:12, but Samuel has been growing up in God's presence (2:21), which implies that he has been growing up with a knowledge of God and in commitment to God, but God has not yet spoken to him in the audible way that now happens.

John Goldingay. 1 and 2 Samuel for Everyone. Louisville,KY: Westminster John Knox Press, 2011, p.32.

Lots of people told me they have not yet heard God's voice. Lots of people told me how wonderful God told them this and that and they responded with faith. Which group you belong to?

A month ago I was going to plan to teach another course on Prayer at our church, REC.Because this year's theme is on Prayer. You know what, a week ago God told me this, "You do not need to have a Prayer course because you are teaching one since January 1, 2016 and this course last for 366 days." Wow! I was shock and with tears! Yes, God is using me to teach a Prayer course daily for 366 days. May be one of the longest courses! Each morning people come to REC at 6:30a.m. to copy the Bible using Time with Abba method and which is a nearly 1,700 years old method "Lectio Divina". And at 7a.m. we are having a Prayer Meeting also using Lectio Divina to teach people to pray and be able to listen to God's voice. All of those who attend our morning copying the Bible and our prayer meeting know how to listen to God's voice and be able to respond and act accordingly.

It is not too hard to listen to God's voice actually. The hard thing is do you believe God always want to speak to you and are you willing to try your best to learn under God's servants who can be able to listen to God's voice!

Come any time this year to Richmond Emmanuel Church, Monday to Friday 6:30a.m., Saturday 8a.m. and Sunday 8a.m. Let me teach you to be able to listen to God's voice. And, actually, this blog/podcast is also tailor-made to teach you and be with you each day to listen to God's Word and God's voice.

親愛的主耶穌,

Help us to understand that to listen to your voice is not difficult but we have to be willing to learn under your servants who are able to listen to your voice. 奉主耶穌基督名求, 阿們。

省察問題

1. Do you think we can listen to God's voice in this age? Do you know how to listen to God's voice?

2. What was the last time you heard God's voice? How did you respond to His voice? How can you improve your ability to listen to God's voice?

3. What have you got from Jesus today?
