今天要将荣耀归给神。因他活着，耶稣带领并引导他的羊，我们要确保我们在听好牧人的声音，因为如果我们没有听，魔鬼就会迅速的分散我们的注意力，把我们引入歧途。有几件事我想和你们分享。关于今天的属灵争战以及如何与主亲近。
我做了一个反复出现的梦，或是从主而来的想法或者异象，我想和你们分享，在我的梦里，我正在向某人做见证，或者和别人分享我的信仰，我正在赞美主，都是受圣灵引导的事情，我向那人做见证分享我的信仰时，我看到这道拦阻恶魔的屏障，他们被圣灵拦住了，他们不能再靠近了，但他们肯定能够更加接近我们，在我的梦里他们好像在五英尺外，圣灵为我设立了一个圈子来保护我，让我继续向我正在传道的人见证。当我说话的时候，魔鬼们全部大声喊叫着，他们控告我，他们想尽一切办法分散我的注意力，就像一堵魔鬼之墙包围着我，当我传福音的时候，所有这些魔鬼都开始消失了，在我持续的做主的工时，他们逐渐的消失了。这就像圣灵在我和他们之间竖起一道墙，使我的时间分别成圣，使我能传福音。这让我想起了那首歌，歌词是，把你的眼睛转向耶稣，定睛在他奇妙刺中，在救主荣耀恩典大光中，世上是必然显为虚空，当我们专注于耶稣的工作时，主使那时候分别为圣。
没有什么能阻止我们传讲福音，能阻止我们行神旨意，但我们必须非常专注于他。这让我想起在体育运动中，在棒球比赛中，一个击球手在场上会怎样做呢？每个人都在朝击球手大喊大叫，试图分散击球手的注意力，这样他就有可能出错失误，他在场上的整个过程中，人们不停的向他喊叫，试图让他把事情搞砸。但你知道那个击球手会尽可能集中注意力，他根本不让那些对他大喊大叫的人搅扰到他，因为他专注于击球。对于我们这些认真跟随耶稣的人来说，我们必须比进行任何运动都要更专注认真的对待他。我们得把注意力集中在真理上，去做他的工作。当我们这样做的时候，我们会知道主会为着他的国度，使我们的时间成圣，主为那些先求他的义和真理的人开路，他不为那些作恶和满足自己私欲的人开路，但他确实为那些想做他工的人铺平道路。
当我们先求他的国时，他会满足我们所有的需要，我们不需要追求吃什么住在哪里穿什么所有这些外邦人属世的人追求的东西。我们的父亲知道我们需用的这一切也会供应给我们，他知道如何保护我们免遭撒旦的伤害，当我们专注于他的旨意，选择做他的工时，他会让我们专注，让我们能为他摆上是任何魔鬼都无法阻挡的，这就是我们需要胜过魔鬼的地方，很多人有着太多的担心和忧虑，总是变得气馁，撒旦很容易就把他们击倒了。如果我们总是闷闷不乐，灰心丧气，沮丧抑郁，自怨自哀，这不会给神带来任何荣耀。要记得以色列人在旷野漂流了40年，他们总是垂头丧气。我们没有足够的食物，我们没有水喝，我们拿什么供养我们的孩子？我们的鞋子穿破了，没得换，其他的民族要起来攻击我们，他们总是抱怨神的带领，而不能归荣耀给神。最后大部分以色列人被神的手毁灭在旷野，因为他们没有真正的悔改罪恶，他们不把荣耀归给神，他们只关心自己的需求，他们宁愿回埃及继续被捆绑做奴隶。
但对于我们这些想要与主同行的人来说，如果我们想要战胜撒旦、沮丧和自怜，我们要每时每刻都向神献上赞美。保罗和西拉，即使被关在监狱里被锁链捆绑，他们没有自怜自艾，垂头丧气，他们唱起赞美诗，他们向主献上赞美，其他的囚犯也都听到了。这让其他囚犯都感到惊奇，作为一个人，被囚禁起来还挨了打，居然还赞美他们的上帝，这是怎样的喜乐呢？正如我们所知，后来地震了，每个人都能够逃走，但他们没有这么做。就连狱卒也想要听听保罗和西拉所做的见证，于是，他们迅速把福音传给了他。这给了他们一个传扬真理的机会，如果保罗和西拉在监狱里自怜自艾会怎样呢？你觉得监狱里的其他人会想认识他们的上帝吗？地震会发生吗？他们会有机会向禁卒或狱卒做见证，赢得他和他的家人进入神的国吗？
肯定不能，所以这是由你的态度决定了主能在多大程度上使用你，取决于此。当你选择赞美上帝，并一直把赞美他的歌声挂在嘴边，你的信心会增长，无论我们正经历着怎样的考验或苦难，都要学会常带着主的喜悦，不管环境多么艰难，但这并不意味着我们总是面带微笑，显然耶稣背着他的十字架去各各他的路上，脸上并没有笑容，但他的确有喜乐，从父而来的喜乐藏在他的心中。我们也要像耶稣一样带着同样的姿势生活，我们要把荣耀归给他，说：凡我在天上的父所愿的，我都愿意去行。无论我们遭遇了什么，我们都要赞美上帝，颂扬他的名，这样做他会祝福我们，他必赐给我们力量，让我们像雄鹰一样展翅上腾。
不管怎么说，我希望这个信息可以鼓励一些人带着信心前行，不要灰心丧气，要在灵和真理里祷告，因为当我们抵挡撒旦，当我们在灵里祷告时，魔鬼就必离开我们逃跑了。但我们必须严厉的斥责撒旦，我们必须认真的与耶稣站在真理的光中，当我们借藉着圣灵亲近上帝时，他也会亲近我们，他会继续保护我们，给予我们力量去做他的工，所以你要亲近耶稣，行的正直。尽快尽力的远离那些与神为敌的邪恶，和你已经知道的错误。愿耶稣的恩典与你同在。
Well, give God glory today, everyone. He is alive. Jesus leads and He guides His sheep. And we need to make sure that we are listening to the good shepherd, because if we are not, the devil quickly will distract us and lead us astray.
There's a couple things I want to share with you about spiritual warfare today, and how to stay close with the Lord. See, I've had one reoccurring dream or thought or vision that comes from the Lord, and I want to share that with you. In my dream, what happens is I am witnessing to someone, or sharing my faith with someone, or singing praises to the Lord, something that is guided by the Holy Spirit. And while I am witnessing to this person or sharing my faith, I see this hedge of demons, and they're blocked by the Holy Spirit. They can't come any closer, but they can sure get close. In my dream, it seems like they are maybe 5 feet away, and this bubbles around me from the Holy Spirit to protect me while I witness to the person I'm speaking to. And while I speak, the demons are all shouting, and they are accusing me, and they're trying to distract me in any way they possibly can. And it's just like this wall of demons that are surrounding me. But as I preach the Gospel, all of those demons start to fade, And I just fade them out by continuing to do the work of the Lord. And it's like the Holy Spirit just puts a wall between me and them to sanctify the time for me to be able to preach the Gospel.
And it reminds me of that song, how it says, turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in his wonderful face, and the things of Earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace. And when we focus on Jesus in doing His work, the Lord sanctifies that time that nothing can stop us from preaching the Gospel, from doing the Will of the Lord, but we have to stay very focused. It kind of reminds me how in sports, like in baseball, how the batter will be up there, and everyone's yelling at the batter, trying to distract the batter so that he may mess up and miss. And the whole time that he's up to about people are screaming at him, yelling at him, just trying to get him to mess up. But you know that batter, he will stay as focused as he can. he doesn't let any of those people yelling at him face at all, because he's focused on on his sport.
And for us who are serious about Jesus, we have to take Him much more seriously than any sport. We have to focus our eyes on the truth doing His work. And when we do, we can know that the Lord will sanctify our time for the purpose of His kingdom. The Lord makes a way for those who are seeking first righteousness in truth. He doesn't make the way for those who are doing what is evil, seeking their own lusts. But He does make the way for those who want to do His work. When we seek first His kingdom, He will provide all of our needs. We don't have to be seeking about just what we're going to eat, where we're going to live, what we're going to wear, all those things the gentiles worldly people seek after. But our father knows how to provide all those things for us. He knows how to protect us from Satan. And when we do look into His face and choose to do his work, he gives us a focus, a dedication that no demon can hinder. And that's where we need to be to be able to overcome these demons.
A lot of people are so worried, they're always discouraged. You know, satan can easily get them down, but it doesn't bring God any glory for us to always be moping around feeling discouraged, depressed, always feeling sorry for ourselves. Remember how the nation of Israel, they wandered in the wilderness for those 40 years, and they were always discouraged. We don't have enough food. We don't have water. How will we supply for our kids? We don't our shoes are wearing out. There's other nations that are going to attack us. They are always griping and complaining to the leadership that God gave them, that did not bring God any glory. Most of those children of Israel were destroyed in the wilderness by the hand of God because they didn't really repent of their evil. They didn't give God glory, but they were all about themselves. They would have rather went back to Egypt, where they were in bondage and enslaved.
But for us who want to be with the Lord, if we want to overcome Satan and depression and self pity, we have to always be saying the praises of the Lord day and night. Remember how Paul and Silas, even though they were thrown in prison and shackled, they were not in their feeling self pity or moping around. They were singing Praises, Hymn psalms to the Lord, and other prisoners heard them, and it probably made all of the other prisoners curious what kind of joy could possibly be in a man that, even though he's locked up and beaten, could still praise their God. And as we know, there was an earthquake that came, and everyone was able to escape, except they didn't. And even the jailer wanted to listen to the testimony of Paul and Silas, and they quickly shared the gospel with him. It gave them an opportunity to spread the truth. Now, if Paul and Silas were in prison feeling self pity. Do you think that anyone else in that prison would have wanted to know their God? Would there have been an earthquake? Would they have had the chance to witness, even to the prison guard or the jailer and win him and his family into the Kingdom of God?
I don't think so. So depending on your attitude, it will depend how much the Lord can use you. Your faith will grow when you choose to sing the Lords praises and continue to have his songs on your lips. No matter what trial or tribulation you're going through. We have to learn to have the joy of the Lord in our life, no matter how hard the circumstance. That doesn't mean that we will always just have a smile on our face. Obviously, Jesus did not have a smile on his face bearing His cross to cavalry. But He did do it because He had the joy of His father in His heart. And we also have to have the same attitude of Jesus Christ always. We need to be giving Him glory, saying, whatever my father in heaven wills that I want to do. And no matter what comes our way, we need to continue to praise the Lord, sing His praises.
And in so doing, He will bless us. He will empower us. He will give us the wings like the eagle to continue to go forward. So anyways, I hope this encourages someone to really continue in the faith, and not to be discouraged, and to pray in Spirit and in truth. Because when we resist Satan and when we pray in Spirit, then the devil will flee from us. But we have to be serious to rebuke Satan. We have to be serious to stand in the light of the truth with Jesus. And when we draw close to the Lord through His Holy Spirit, He draws close to us, and He continues to protect us and empower us to do His work. So stay close to Jesus and do what is right. Have feet that are quick to run, to obey and stay far away from what you know is wrong and evil and against God. May the grace of Jesus be with you.
