God is love

第1集你認識自己嗎?

大家好，我是雅玲，歡迎你們來到雅玲的心靈書房，YALINELENA STUDIO。

心靈書房成立的緣由是為了見證主耶穌，幫助人來認識祂。同時也分享神對我說過的話。當然最主要還是我受到保羅的感動，想藉著這心靈書房發揮愛的影響力。

保羅在以弗所宣教時，他先到猶太人的會堂傳講神的道，可是卻被拒絕。從使徒行傳19章9-10節「後來，有些人心裏剛硬不信，在眾人面前毀謗這道，保羅就離開他們，也叫門徒與他們分離，便在推喇奴的學房天天辯論。這樣有兩年之久，叫一切住在亞細亞的，無論是猶太人，是希臘人，都聽見主的道。」

所以保羅只在推喇奴的學房天天辯論，就可以使亞細亞的猶太人、希臘人聽見主的道。我也期許透過這個心靈書房來分享主耶穌在我生命中帶來的改變，同樣地也分享神對我說過的話，讓人能更認識主耶穌這位活真神。

第1集你認識自己嗎?

認識自己好像是個老生常談的話題，但是我今天不是要跟你談你的外表如何?你的喜好如何?我想談的是人的源頭是來自於神。你要先明白這個道理，然後與神連結，才能真正認識自己。

在創世紀第1章清楚說明神創造天地萬物，在第6天創造了人，神造人的時候是要給人永生，並與神同住，但是亞當及夏娃卻沒有聽從神的吩咐，吃了不該吃的果子，於是罪就這樣入了世，從此人就開始有了生老病死，然而病與死並不是神要給人的，是因為罪所帶來的結果。那怎麼辦呢?

於是，神就賜下他的愛子耶穌，Jesus，為了我們的罪受罰死在十字架上，同時也將我們從罪與死的綑綁中拯救出來，這就是為什麼我們說耶穌是救主的原因。一旦我們相信耶穌，也明白他這樣做是為了愛我們，耶穌就賜我們權柄成為神的孩子，同樣的信耶穌得永生，我們在神的眼中就成為義人。

如果你對這道裡還不是很明白，我再舉一個亞當的例子。希望讓你更明白人的源頭在神，要與神連結才能認識好自己。

在創世紀2:7「耶和華神用地上的塵土造人，將生氣吹在他鼻孔裏，他就成了有靈的活人，名叫亞當。」在這節經文，我們可以發現，神用塵土造人加上神吹氣，亞當就成了有靈的活人。所以我們可以推論活人是由身體加上靈魂所組成，其中靈Spirit是來自於上帝，魂Soul也是上帝給的自由意志，就是我們可以憑著自己的喜好來決定事情的意識。當一個人還不認識神的時候，或是他的主觀意識非常強烈的時候，他的靈其實是睡著的，只有魂在身上。當他遇見神，與神連結，靈才能甦醒，大衛在詩篇23篇提到他使我靈魂甦醒，為自己的名引導我走義路。這裡的他就是指耶和華神。

所以我們要認識自己，要與神建立關係，讓神使你的靈甦醒，才能真正認識好自己，因為我們就是有一部分是來自於神的。

當你的靈與神連結時，你才會明白神怎麼看你?神對你的心意是如何?因此在認識自己的過程中，也是在認識上帝對你的心意。

怎麼做才能與上帝連結? 很簡單就是信耶穌。

為什麼? 因為耶穌是道路、真理、生命。除他以外，別無拯救，因為在天下人間，沒有賜下別的名我們可以靠著得救。當耶穌為人的罪在十字架上斷氣的時候，地就大震動，聖殿的幔子也裂開了，這代表什麼意思呢?就是信耶穌的基督徒都可以坦然無懼走進至聖所，到上帝的面前。耶穌用自己的身體成為我們走向天父的道路。

我現在舉我自己的例子，讓你更明白。自從認識耶穌之後，我不再是以前的我。怎麼說呢?

因為我開始明白，耶穌真的愛我，在我還不認識耶穌的時候，他就為我的罪而死在十字架上，我開始感受到耶穌的愛，明白自己是被愛、被珍惜、是為愛而生的孩子。
與神連結後，我更常感到平安與喜樂，更能接納自己。最重要的是我每天都願意以神的眼光來看自己，願意為神嘗試新的事物。其實雅玲的心靈書房能成立，就是順從神賜給我的異象，我也願意為神來跨出自己的舒適圈，願意嘗試透過書房製作分享影片來傳福音。

當然囉!我因為愛神而願意去愛人，並展開服事。好!我給自己一個讚，如果你也認同我，歡迎你給我一個讚，並訂閱這個頻道。

在基督裡我們是新造的人，也就是說我現在每天都因為神的話語而有改變，我每天都期待發現一個更新的自己。過去當我們還沒有與神連結時，我們只用自己或別人的眼光來認識自己，這樣是不完全的，因為我們是活人，有肉體有靈魂，需靠上帝向我們吹氣，才能使靈甦醒，明白上帝對我們的心意。

與神連結就是信耶穌，一旦信耶穌，聖靈使我們的靈甦醒，我們就有永生，就在基督裡，成了新造的人。

如果你也想認識耶穌並帶來生命的改變，期待一天比一天更好的自己，更新的自己，我邀請你也歡迎你跟我一起來決志信耶穌! 我要為你做一個禱告，你可以一句句跟著我念。

親愛的主耶穌: 我感謝讚美你的同在，我謝謝你為我的罪死在十字架上，我也感謝你赦免我的罪，我願意敞開我的心，邀請你進入我的生命，成為我生命的主，帶領我活出美好又豐盛的人生，禱告奉主耶穌基督的名求，阿們!

你阿們了嗎?如果是，你已經跟我一樣是信耶穌的人唷!

耶穌愛你，我也愛你! 愛你~愛你~愛你~

歡迎大家來到雅玲的心靈書房，我們下次見~

Gifts from God

God’s Words – For His Lost Children (2)

God’s Words – For His Lost Children (2)
May 7, 2011
God wants to tell you a true story.
There was a farmer in the country. He had a tree. Every time after working, he would take a rest in the shade of the tree. Because of the luxuriant branches, he often fell asleep unintentionally while sitting under the tree. When he woke up again, it was already time for sunset. For a few days in a row, he couldn’t finish his field work. In the end, the harvest naturally dwindled.
That year everyone had a good harvest, but his harvest was insufficient. He felt sad and asked God for help. God sent the angel to tell him to cut down the branches and prevent the branches from becoming too lush, because the tree grew too large and sucked up soil nutrients. The farmer listened to the angel’s words, and he did it. Later, because the branches were not so dense, he would be illuminated by the sun when he rested, so he no longer fell asleep like before. The next harvest, he also had a good harvest.

God wants you to review what you do every day. If you have any behavior not thoughtful, you have to improve it. If you can’t change on your own, you have to find other ways, such as looking for a pastor, family members or friends. If they can’t help, you have to come to me your God.

God says ” Anyone who asks me for help knocking on my door, I respond. God helps self-helped people, I love the world, every one of them before they were born, I have known them.

My Children, help me to find me back my lost children. Convey my love for the world and ask them to return to the arms of Heavenly Father, and don’t get lost again. Only by my side can there be peace and joy.

Lost people! My love for you is so deep, why can’t you recognize me as your creator? I love you, let Jesus Christ take away your sins, let Jesus Christ bring you the message of eternal life. Why are you still not obedient? Why do you still go to idolatry and make me sad? I am your father, you are my children. My love does not change, even at the moment the heaven and the earth pass away, I still love you. So you have to repent and convict your sins, thus my love is worthy, and Jesus’ sacrifice was not in vain.
As for those who do evil, I don’t recognize them as my children. They will pay for their evil actions and unrighteous methods. They will die in the lake of sulfur and fire ,and suffer from the fire. At that time, they will have no chance to repent. I will not listen to their pleadings. Even if a righteous person intercedes for them, I will not forgive. I will never forgive those who should be punished because I am just.
My children, especially the lost children, hurry back to my embrace. Only with me can you receive the protection you deserve.

At the moment of destruction of heaven and earth, the land will be cracked, and the sky will be heavily clouded. The tsunami will be soaring, the mountains collapsing, and the sea pouring out. Only my people can come to my kingdom, the rest will be wiped out with heaven and earth. The evil will stay in the abyss and suffer. This kind of thing will happen, this is my arrangement, it is destined. Be aware and watchful. My words and the love I give you will never change. “

Lord loves you! God loves the world. Amen!

#note: going to idolatry means that you love something/someone more than God. They could be idols or property or money or fame or something/ someone you place more importance than God.

Overwhelming victory is ours through Jesus

No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. Romans 8:37 NLT

I am convinced that what happened to us is of God’s love, in God’s time, and by God’s way, with the purpose to build up our character to the God’s glory. It is our character, not our work, that brings us into eternity.

With God’s guidance, everything will go in a good direction. Put our uncertainty and worry about in the hands of God. Believe in Jesus, you know that it is better to put yourself in the hands of God than in your own hands, because God has mercy and love, in order to build our character, He will place us in certain situations.

God will not let us suffer in vain, and there must be lessons for us to learn from our suffering. Everyone has a different lesson to learn, but I know that this lesson will be accomplished in our character building, making us more and more like Jesus, and making Christ magnified in us. Thank God that overwhelming victory is ours through the Lord Jesus who loves us!

Yes, Jesus loves us! We are God’s children. We are not alone to face hardship, let Jesus accompany us to go through the darkness with the hope to see the light. Let’s pray for God’s mercy and grace on us, pray for giving us humble and obedient hearts, full trust in the Lord Jesus, and wise actions to deal with the challenges and setbacks of every life encounter. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen!

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 1 John 4:16

The Spirit of Heavenly Father came to me and said to me:

“Elena, my baby, I love you very much. You are my favorite daughter. I wait for you to talk to me every day. I like your joyful prayers to me. I am pleased with all your actions, especially when you are willing to do something for God. I see that you live for God and rejoice for God. Thus I rejoice with you.

My child, I love you. I always think about how to do is the best for you. One of your thoughts affects my thoughts. I am pleased that you do everything for me happily and joyfully. For me, what I have done for you is worthy.

I love you and don’t care about your appearance;

I care about you and accept who you are completely;

I miss you, want you to be close to me every day, and getting along with you brings me joy which is beyond words;

When you cry, I want to cry too;

When you laugh, I laugh with you too;

All your emotional reactions fascinate me, I cherish you more than myself,

I hope you share my love for you to people who knows me little, so that they can know how I love each of my children who rejoices for me and loves me.

I want you to spread my love for every children…”

If you feel that Heavenly Father has negative emotions towards you, it must not come from God, because God is love, and the one who lives in love is living in God, and God also lives in him. Amen!

Lord Jesus loves you, and I love you too!
