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
耶 和 華 是 我 的 力 量 , 是 我 的 盾 牌 ; 我 心 裡 倚 靠 他 就 得 幫 助 。 所 以 我 心 中 歡 樂 , 我 必 用 詩 歌 頌 讚 他 。
詩篇 28:7
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。」

9 他 在 那 裡 進 了 一 個 洞 , 就 住 在 洞 中 。 耶 和 華 的 話 臨 到 他 說 : 以 利 亞 啊 , 你 在 這 裡 做 甚 麼 ?
10 他 說 : 我 為 耶 和 華 ─ 萬 軍 之 神 大 發 熱 心 ; 因 為 以 色 列 人 背 棄 了 你 的 約 , 毀 壞 了 你 的 壇 , 用 刀 殺 了 你 的 先 知 , 只 剩 下 我 一 個 人 , 他 們 還 要 尋 索 我 的 命 。
11 耶 和 華 說 : 你 出 來 站 在 山 上 , 在 我 面 前 。 那 時 耶 和 華 從 那 裡 經 過 , 在 他 面 前 有 烈 風 大 作 , 崩 山 碎 石 , 耶 和 華 卻 不 在 風 中 ; 風 後 地 震 , 耶 和 華 卻 不 在 其 中 ;
12 地 震 後 有 火 , 耶 和 華 也 不 在 火 中 ; 火 後 有 微 小 的 聲 音 。
13 以 利 亞 聽 見 , 就 用 外 衣 蒙 上 臉 , 出 來 站 在 洞 口 。 有 聲 音 向 他 說 : 以 利 亞 啊 , 你 在 這 裡 做 甚 麼 ?
14 他 說 : 我 為 耶 和 華 ─ 萬 軍 之 神 大 發 熱 心 ; 因 為 以 色 列 人 背 棄 了 你 的 約 , 毀 壞 了 你 的 壇 , 用 刀 殺 了 你 的 先 知 , 只 剩 下 我 一 個 人 , 他 們 還 要 尋 索 我 的 命 。
列王紀上 19:9-14
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
Everyone wants to listen to God's voice, not only Christians. Elijah heard God's voice before. But, when he was discouraged and depressed focus on his self-righteousness, he could not hear God's voice anymore. Until...
讓我們聽聽 John Goldingay 教授的教導:
God appears to him there and gently points out that he is not the only person left. Perhaps not gently. The way God speaks to Elijah first involves wind, earthquake, and fire, then a low murmuring sound…The story does not say that God is in the quiet sound though not in the earthquake, the wind, and the fire. The point the story makes in this connection is that you shouldn't identify God with earthquake, wind, and fire, which it might be tempting to do. Old and New Testament will continue affirming that God is the God of earthquake, wind, and fire, and for Elijah these reaffirm the power and might of his God, which he was in danger of forgetting. He gets the reassurance that God is still the kind of God who appeared to Moses and the Israelites at Sinai.
John Goldingay. 1 and 2 Kings for Everyone. Louisville,KY: Westminster John Knox Press, 2011, p.91.
So, Elijah could not hear God's voice anymore until when?
Until he experience the first four rules: Talk to God, good and sweet sleep, eat and drink, forty days to prepare himself to meet God.
To listen to God's voice needs the focus of your body, mind and soul, that is physically first and then spiritually.
That's how God teaches a group of us to be able to draw closer and closer to Him each day by coming to pray each morning at 6:30a.m., offering our first fruit to Him each day. Each day we pray to God first thing in the morning, we go to bed early and have enough sleep, we eat and drink together as we are having breakfast right after our morning prayer and we prepare ourselves to meet God for a long period of time, today is Day 193! That's how God calls brothers and sisters of REC to listen and obey starting January 1 this year.
God has His own tailor-made way to call different people. How has God been calling you to listen to His voice?

Dear Lord Jesus,
Be with us each day that we can be able to listen to your voice and act on your command. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

省察問題
1. How can these five rules help you to listen to God's voice?
2. Are you able to listen to God's voice more after experiencing these five rules?
