9月23日 福份湧流




經文:「信我的人就如經上所說,從他腹中要流出活水的江河來。」(約7:38)

我們常常會納悶地想要問:「為甚麼我們不能流出活水的江河呢?」;讓我告訴你:那是因為許多時候我們只會接受,卻不付出的緣故。進來的太多,卻沒想到也應該分流出去;所以才會停滯與發沉。

我們應該讓得到的也分流出去,那就是:多作見證,多傳福音,多做助人與探訪的工作,多尋求事奉主的機會;這樣,你就會看見聖靈要替你開啟更大事工的門,並賦予你更多事奉的恩賜。--譯自地上的屬天生活 Days of Heaven upon Earth

門徒在五旬節受了聖靈的洗以後,並沒有租下那處樓房留在那裡聚會,卻分散前往各地去宣講福音。--赫夫 Will Huff

過去神曾問:「你兄弟亞伯在那裡」(創4:9);今日神仍要問我們:「你的父母在那裡?你的子女在那裡?你的兄弟在那裡?你的姊妹在那裡?你的親戚在那裡?你的朋友在那裡?」;我們是不是還要像該隱那樣說「我不知道」呢?

Give Out The Blessing

Scripture: "He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his inner being shall flow rivers of living water" (John 7:38).

Some of us are shivering and wondering why the Holy Spirit does not fill us. We have plenty coming in, but we do not give it out. Give out the blessing that you have, start larger plans for service and blessing, and you will soon find that the Holy Ghost is before you, and He will present you with blessings for service, and give you all that He can trust you to give away to others.

There is a beautiful fact in nature which has its spiritual parallels. There is no music so heavenly as an Aeolian harp, and the Aeolian harp is nothing but a set of musical chords arranged in harmony, and then left to be touched by the unseen fingers of the wandering winds. And as the breath of heaven floats over the chords, it is said that notes almost Divine float out upon the air, as if a choir of angels were wandering around and touching the strings.

And so it is possible to keep our hearts so open to the touch of the Holy Spirit that He can play upon them at will, as we quietly wait in the pathway of His service.--Days of Heaven upon Earth

When the apostles received the baptism with the Holy Ghost they did not rent the upper room and stay there to hold holiness meetings, but went everywhere preaching the gospel. --Will Huff
