如何經歷真正的復興
-馬強盛/顏美娟夫婦
2019/4/25
「求神憐憫我們,今日的基督教寫了一大堆屬靈的書籍,用盡了一大堆紙筆來出書,消耗了花俏的用詞,又嘗試舉辦各種人工的聚會。然而,全球每個國家仍然有嚴重的敗壞。而現今的教會時代絕對是,自從五旬節來,最不禱告的教會時代。惟一我們還沒有經歷復興的原因就是:我們認為沒有復興,我們還是活得好好的。若我們認為沒有復興,我們還是可以活得好好的,那麼,我們就是脫離神的旨意。沒有任何一個教會可以藉著一週一次的禱告會來經歷復興。」 -雷歐納牧師(Leonard Ravenhill)
「若沒有悔改和禱告帶來的復興,所有的神學都是死的神學,所有的活動都是人工的;所有的聚會都是人與人的聚集,而不是與神的相會。」-馬強盛/顏美娟夫婦
“Without repentance and prayer that bring revival, all theology is dead theology, all activities are man-made, and all church meetings are meetings with men instead of meetings with God Himself!”
「若沒有復興,罪人的心只會愈來愈剛硬,即使有再多的講道,也沒有用。」
“Without revival, sinners will grow harder and harder despite more preaching.” -查理斯.芬尼(Rev. Charles Finney), 來自一篇叫做「何時期待復興When to expect revival」的講道
「若沒有真正的復興,假先知肯定會興起,傳播假福音、推廣假復興,並把各種謊言都講成真理。」-馬強盛/顏美娟夫婦
“Without true revival, false prophets will arise preaching a false gospel and promoting false revival, and distorting all kinds of lies into truths.”
「若沒有真正的復興,罪人、屬肉體的基督徒、貪錢的傳道人都會持續沈溺在罪、自私、自我為義、貪婪和愛世界的罪中。」-馬強盛/顏美娟夫婦
Without true revival, sinners, carnal Christians, and covetous preachers will continue to wallow in sin, selfishness, carelessness, covetousness, and worldliness.
「若沒有真正的復興,沒有人會愛神和恨罪,包含牧者也是如此! 若沒有真正的復興,世人不會尋求神的榮耀和聖潔,耶穌也不會比流行音樂還要受歡迎。」 -馬強盛/顏美娟夫婦
Without revival, nobody would love God and hate, including the pastors! Without revival, the world will not seek the glory and holiness of God, and Jesus will not be more popular than pop music!
「若我們沒有經歷復興,任何一個城市的道德和靈命都將維持不變和維持垂死的狀況。教會可以舉辦節目、活動、特會、假醫治佈道會、假先知特會、神學講座、神學院、烤肉和聖誕派對,但是魔鬼和牠手下的魔君擁有酒吧、舞廳、演唱會、色情網站、體育、娛樂、電影院、賭場、在學校教授的進化論、屬世的電視、偶像、假教師、假先知、假福音,以及比教會更多的派對。即使今日的教會藉著屬世的節目和活動來拚人數,但魔鬼透過電視、電影、酒吧、球賽、搖滾演唱會所吸引的人仍然比教會還要多很多。在世上大部分的城市當中,仍然有超過98%不悔改和未得救的人,地方教會仍然是魔鬼及邪靈的笑柄,教會只不過是假基督徒吃喝玩樂和社交聚集的地方。那麼,當一個教會炫耀和誇大自己教派的微小成就時,豈不知這是一種自我欺騙嗎?」 -馬強盛/顏美娟夫婦
-魔鬼和牠手下的魔君擁有酒吧、舞廳、演唱會、色情網站、體育、娛樂、電影院、賭場、在學校教授的進化論、屬世的電視、偶像、假教師、假先知、假福音,以及比教會更多的派對。
If we do not experience revival, the morality and spirituality in any given city will remain unchanged and dead. Churches can have programs, activities, conferences, fake healing crusades, false prophet meetings, theologies, seminars, seminaries, BBQs, and Christmas parties. But the devil and the principalities have bars, dances, concerts, porn, sports, entertainment, theaters, casinos, evolution taught in schools, worldly TV, idols, false teachers, false prophets, false gospels, and more parties than churches do. The devil continues to attract more people with his TV, movies, bars, ballgames, and rock concerts than the church does thru worldly programs and activities. In most cities of the world, over 98% of the city remain unrepentant and unsaved, the church is still the laughing stock of the devil and his demons, and the church is just a social gathering for false Christians. So, don’t we know that this is a kind of self-deception when a church brags about its denominational “success” and tiny accomplishments?
「在我平生的日子,我持續夢想和禱告,求一個聖潔的復興,使我們可以差遣宣教士,並建立一個每人都可以得著聖靈能力的社會;好讓我們可以完成神創造人類的旨意。」-約翰衛斯理(John Wesley)
「金錢、名譽非我所求也,求主在這一年內,使我能領十萬人歸主。」-宋尚節的日記(John Sung)
「求主將賜給約翰衛斯理(John Wesley)、慕迪(D.L. Moody)、芬尼(Charles Finney)的靈加倍賜給我,你不賜下能力給我,我寧願死。」” -宋尚節的禱告(John Sung)
“Give me souls, or take my soul!" -George Whitefield
「給我靈魂,否則就帶走我的靈魂!」 -喬治.懷特菲(George Whitefield)
「符合聖經的講道是向人講述神;但禱告求復興卻是向神講述人。若沒有恆切禱告求復興,再多的講道都只能搔癢人的耳朵,而不是使人扎心。」-馬強盛/顏美娟夫婦
Biblical preaching is talking to men about God, while praying for revival is talking to God about men. Preaching without constant prayer for revival only tickles men’s ears instead of pricking men’s hearts.
「符合聖經的講道是人對罪人講述罪的問題;但禱告求復興是人向神講述罪的問題,並請求神藉著聖靈來責備人心、使人知罪、領人真悔改、真得救。」-馬強盛/顏美娟夫婦
「即使是符合聖經的講道也很難責備到人心,領人從罪和自我為義當中悔改。但向神恆切禱告求復興永遠都能夠使聖靈責備人心,領人從罪和自我為義當中悔改。」-馬強盛/顏美娟夫婦
Preaching to men rarely reproves men to repent from sin and self-righteousness, but constant praying to God for revival will always cause the Holy Spirit to reprove men to repent from sin and self-righteousness.
「就如同創造物存在的意義和目的來自創造者,人在世上最大的需要就是神自己。既然復興就是神自己降臨到地上(路24:49;徒1:8, 2:17),與人同住(詩85:9;代下6:18),叫罪人責備自己(約16:8),並使信徒成為聖潔(出29:43-45;弗5:25-30;瑪3:1-3);那麼,今天人在世上最大的需要是:藉著聖靈澆灌而來的復興。」 -馬強盛/顏美娟夫婦
–今天人在世上最大的需要是:藉著聖靈澆灌而來的復興。
Just as creation’s meaning and purpose comes the Creator, man’s greatest need in the world today is God’s Himself. And since revival is God Himself coming down to earth(Luke 24:49, Acts 1:8, 2:17), dwelling with mankind (Psalm 85:9, 2 Chronicles 6:18), reproving sinners of sin(John 16:8), and sanctifying the believers(Exodus 29:43-45, Ephesian 5:25-30, Malachi 3:1-3), man’s greatest need in the world today is “revival” by the outpouring power of the Spirit of God!
「復興的教會是垂死世界的唯一希望。」 -慕安得烈(Andrew Murray) “A revived church is the only hope for a dying world.”
「若沒有真正的復興,教會的影響力會低於電視、電影和學校。」-馬強盛/顏美娟夫婦
Without revival, the church will have less influence on the world than TV, movies, and schools.
「若沒有真正的復興,世界和其中的罪人會持續選擇金錢、性、名譽、派對、名車、別墅過於神和耶穌基督。罪人永遠會選擇自己掌握人生的方向盤,而不是降服耶穌基督的主宰權。」 -馬強盛/顏美娟夫婦
“Without revival, the world and the sinners thereof will continue to choose money, sex, fame, parties, mansions, and big cars over God and Jesus Christ. Sinners will always choose to be in the driver’s seat of their lives than to submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
「若沒有真正的復興和聖靈的澆灌,罪人寧可高舉自己為生命中的神和主宰,寧可選擇罪、金錢、物質主義、肉體享受過於服事神。」-馬強盛/顏美娟夫婦
Without revival and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, sinners would rather exalt themselves and the “god” and ruler of their own lives, and they will always choose sin, money, materialism, and pleasures over serving God.
「若沒有真正的復興,罪人永遠都會講一大堆不去教會的藉口,如:我沒有時間去教會。但這些罪人卻有很多時間看電視、看電影、跟朋友出去玩、喝酒派對等等。」 -馬強盛/顏美娟夫婦
“Without true revival, sinners will give excuses like, “I have no time for church”, while they have plenty of time for TV, movies, friends, drinking and partying.”
「若沒有真正的復興,罪人不會在乎神和永恆的事情。他們體貼肉體的思想不會悔改,而他們會持續抵擋神。」 -馬強盛/顏美娟夫婦
Without revival, sinner’s won’t care about God and eternal things, and their carnal minds won’t repent and will continue to be at enmity with God.
–若沒有真正的復興,罪人不會在乎神和永恆的事情。他們體貼肉體的思想不會悔改,而他們會持續抵擋神。
「若沒有真正的復興,沒有骨氣的傳道人會稀釋十字架的真理,成為一個人本主義的假福音。萬王之王、萬主之主的耶穌基督,也會被稀釋成另一個求平安和喜樂的宗教、另一個神燈裡的精靈,或某一種祝福人、給人禮物的聖誕老人。」 -馬強盛/顏美娟夫婦
Without revival, preachers without backbones will dilute the message of the cross to a humanism centered false gospel. And Jesus the King of kings and Lord of lords will be diluted to just another religion that offers peace and joy, a genie in a lantern, or some kind of “bless you Santa Clause.”
「耶穌吩咐信徒們要(1)先尋求父的應許,(2)這樣才會有復興(路24:49;徒1:8, 2:17),(3)然後才去執行大使命(路24:47;徒1:8;可16:20),而不是本末倒置。」-馬強盛/顏美娟夫婦
“Jesus commands the believers to first seek the Father’s promise that brings revival(Luke 24:49, Acts 1:8, 2:17), then go to fulfill the Great Commission(Luke 24:47, Acts 1:8, Mark 16:20), not the other way around!”
「耶穌從未說先傳福音、建立教會、最後才禱告求復興。今日幾乎所有的教會和神學院都在忙著拚人數、討好人、搞活動和傳講稀釋罪的假福音。難怪他們忙到瞎眼看不到禱告求復興的重要性和必要性。」-馬強盛/顏美娟夫婦
“Jesus never said first preach the gospel, build churches, and seek revival last. Nearly all churches and seminaries today are busy going after numbers, people-pleasing, doing carnal activities, and preaching a sin-diluting false gospel. No wonder they are too busy and blind to see the importance and absolute necessity of praying for revival.”
路24:49 我要將我父所應許的降在你們身上,你們要在城裏等候,直到你們領受從上頭來的能力。」
「現今教會和世界所需要的就是復興,而復興就是神想要給我們的。祂沒有不願意把天打開,並賜給我們從主面前來的安舒日子。 -約拿單.愛德華滋(Jonathan Edwards)
Revival, then, is what the church and the world needs. And revival is just what God wants to give. He is not unwilling to open the heavens and send us ‘times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord.’ -Jonathan Edwards
徒3:19 「所以,你們當悔改得救be converted,使你們的罪得以塗抹,這樣那安舒、復興的日子就必從主的同在面前來到。」(徒3:19;聖經原文直譯)
a.「安舒」在英文聖經中是refreshing,史壯聖經原文字典Strong’s G403,「anapsyxis」安舒” refreshing”,是用來形容復興的日子。
「世人最喜歡的教會肯定是神最憎恨的。」-查理斯.司布真(Charles Spurgeon)
“That very church which the world likes best is sure to be that which God abhors." -Charles Spurgeon
「世人最喜歡的教會肯定是最屬世、體貼肉體和稀釋罪的教會。」-馬強盛/顏美娟夫婦
“The world’s favorite church is one that is most worldly, carnal, and sin-diluting.”
「魔鬼最恨的教會就是一個傳講悔改、十字架、聖潔、每日為復興禱告的教會。這樣的教會會求到聖靈的澆灌,而聖靈就會叫罪人為罪、為自我為義、為審判,自己責備自己。現在你知道為什麼世上很少教會傳講悔改、十字架、聖潔,並為什麼世上有很少的教會在求復興和五旬節。」-馬強盛/顏美娟夫婦
“The church that the Devil hates the most is one that preaches repentance, the cross, holiness, and daily prayer for revival. This will result in the Spirit’s outpouring, which will reprove sinners of sin, self-righteousness, and judgment. Now you know why there are so few churches in the world that preaches repentance, the cross, and holiness, and why so few churches pray for revival and Pentecost.”
約翰福音 16:7-8
「然而我將真情告訴你們,我去是於你們有益的。我若不去,保惠師就不到你們這裡來;我若去,就差他來。他既來了,就要叫世人為罪、為義、為審判,自己責備自己。」
John 16:7-8 (KJV)
“Nevertheless, I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.”
「當一個教會更聖潔時,那個教會就會更有能力和見證。」-查理斯.司布真(Charles Spurgeon)
「不悔改的人跟魔鬼有一個共同點。他們都喜歡體貼肉體和屬世的教會。」-馬強盛/顏美娟夫婦
The unrepentant has this one thing in common with the devil; they both like carnal, worldly churches!”
「今日,許多教會所傳講的是一個討好人的假福音。有些牧者喜歡講一些讓罪人不痛不癢的主題。那些不講罪和悔改的訊息只不過是讓人暫時興奮而已,那些討好和催眠罪人的訊息只會害罪人更快的下地獄!我們今天所需要的乃是傳講悔改和地獄之火的講道。」-雷歐納牧師(Leonard Ravenhill)
徒17:30 世人蒙昧無知的時候,神並不監察,如今卻吩咐各處的人都要悔改。
路13:3 (耶穌說)我告訴你們,不是的!你們若不悔改,都要如此滅亡!
路24:47 (耶穌說)並且人要奉他的名傳悔改、赦罪的道,從耶路撒冷起直傳到萬邦。
約12:48 (耶穌說)棄絕我、不領受我話的人,有審判他的,就是我所講的道在末日要審判他。
加1:9-10 我們已經說了,現在又說,若有人傳福音給你們,與你們所領受的不同,他就應當被咒詛。我現在是要得人的心呢?還是要得神的心呢?我豈是討人的喜歡嗎?若仍舊討人的喜歡,我就不是基督的僕人了。
若我們沒有經歷復興…
