代禱 | |
經文: 「人若看見弟兄犯了不至於死的罪,就當為他祈求,上帝必將生命賜給他。」(約翰壹書五:16) | |
最後一夜,耶穌應許將聖靈賜給門徒,祂說:「到那一日,你就知道我在父裡面,你在我裡面,我也在你裡面。」「住在我裡面的,我也要住在他裡面,這人就多結果子。」這些事及果子,都要藉著禱告得以達成,因為經由禱告,耶穌要讓門徒的心願得償。 耶穌又給我們七項應許:「你們奉我們的名,無論求什麼,我必成就。」(約十四:13)「你們若常在我裡面,我的話也常在你們裡面,凡你們所願意的,祈求就給你們成就。」(約十五:7)「使你們奉我的名,無論向父求什麼,祂就賜給你們。」(約十五:16) 「你們若向父求什麼,祂必因我的名,賜給你們。」(約十六:23)「向來你們沒有奉我的名求什麼,如今你們求就必得著,叫你們的喜樂可以滿足。」(約十六:24)「到那日,你們要奉我的名祈求。」(約十六:26) 將這幾節經文反覆熟讀,印在心版,直到你相信那住在耶穌裡的,有權利為慕道友的靈魂禱告,柔軟他們的心土,而天父也會回應這樣的禱告。 請記住天父是葡萄樹的栽種者,我們是枝子,我們不但為自己的蒙恩得救感恩,更要領人歸主,結出傳福音的果子,以榮耀上帝。身為代禱者,相信上帝必會垂聽禱告,賜下恩典,祝福並做工在那些代禱對象的身上。 想想看,若每個基督徒都能為周圍尚未信主的人禱告,這社會將會帶來多大的改變!上帝的名也會大得榮耀!親愛的弟兄姐妹們,撥時間來到施恩寶座前,讓上帝將這些榮耀的應許銘刻在你心版上,並落實在實際生活中。 | |

INTERCESSION | |
Scripture: "If a man see his brother sinning, he shall ask, and God will give him life."—1 JOHN v. 16. | |
In the last night, when the Lord Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit to His disciples, He said: "In that day ye shall know that I am in the Father, and ye in Me, and I in you." "Abide in Me, and I in you." "He that abideth in Me, and I in him, beareth much fruit." The things and the fruit thereof would be attained by prayer. They would pray and He would grant their desires. He made a sevenfold promise: "Whatsoever ye shall ask in My name that will I do" (John xiv. 13). "If ye shall ask anything in My name, that will I do" (v. 14). "If My words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you" (xv. 7). "I appointed you that whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My Name He may give it you" (xv. 16). "If ye shall ask anything of the Father, He will give it you in My name" (xvi. 23). "Ask and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full" (xvi. 24). "In that day ye shall ask in My name" (xvi. 26). Read the above seven texts over and over until you are convinced that the believer who abides in Christ has the right to pray for souls, and that Christ and the Father will answer his prayer. Remember, too, that you are a branch of the Heavenly Vine, not only for your own salvation, but that you may bear much fruit in the conversion of souls. It is as an intercessor that grace is granted you to pray for others, believing assuredly that God will answer you. Think of the change that would come over a community if every believer in it would take time to pray for those who do not believe. How God would be glorified in our bearing much fruit! Dear child of God, take time to allow God to write these glorious promises upon your heart. |
