认识神生命的法则

张静蓉牧师

In relationships we must understand God’s principles of life

在关系里我们必须要认识神生命的法则

1. The Law of Sowing and Harvesting

一、种收法则

Galatians 6:7 says: “Do not be deceived, for God will not be mocked. Whatever a man sows, that will he also reap.” The first important point the scripture tells us is the principle of sowing and reaping. When we don’t forgive, we live in the roots of bitterness and hatred, creating a lot of judgment, and the things we plant flow out into ourselves. Whatever we use to plant our lives will come back to us. When we do not allow God to deal with our inner being, but instead continually seed and feed our lives with the darkness within us, we become bitter and vindictive in nature.

加拉太书第六章7节说：“不要自欺，神是轻慢不得的。人种的是什么，收的也是什么。” 经文告诉我们的第一个重点就是种收原理。当我们不饶恕，我们就活在苦毒和仇恨的根源，产生很多的论断，而我们所栽种的这些东西都会流到我们自己身上。我们到底用什么来栽种我们的生命，这些东西都会回到自己的身上。当我们没有让神来处理我们的内在，反而用不断用心里的黑暗来栽种和喂养我们的生命，我们就会变成苦毒报复仇恨的本质。

The enemy, the devil, does not care about the size of our injuries. He only wants us to live in bitterness forever, in an identity that cannot be redeemed, and in a life that does not bless or love others. And we often form a view of judgment, hatred and condemnation in our hearts because of a little injury or brokenness. When we continue to play these judgments into ourselves, we are actually cultivating a vessel of bitterness within ourselves.

仇敌魔鬼不在乎我们受伤的大小，他只希望我们永远活在苦毒当中，永远活在一个不被救赎的身份，和在不祝福不相爱的生命的当中。而我们常常我们因一点小小的受伤或者破碎就在心里形成一种论断仇恨跟定罪的观点。当我们不断的将这些论断重复播放在我们里面的时候，我们其实是在培植内在成为一个苦毒的器皿。

2. Know who gives control to you

二、知道自己的控制权交给谁

In fact, our inner being is often dark, but we just don’t notice and take care of it. In the eyes of Heavenly Father, each of us has been injured many times since we were born in the mother’s womb and has grown up to now. But the problem is that we have always stayed in these injuries or the shadows of the past. If we only stay in the past, we will easily be controlled by the hurt and shadow of the past, and the whole person will continue to live in this kind of control.

我们的内在其实常常都是一片黑，只是我们没有去察觉和打理而已。在天父的眼中，我们每个人从母腹起，一直成长到现在，很多时候都是受伤的，可是问题在于我们一直停留在这些受伤或者过去的这些阴影的当中。如果我们只停留在过去，也就很容易被过去的伤害和阴影所控制，整个人会不断的活在这种被控制里。

Many times we give control to the people who hurt us, or to the forces of darkness, blaming others for our current suffering and injury. In fact, when we keep blaming others, we are admitting that the person has control over us. They can control our emotions, life, and thoughts. The Bible teaches us that bitterness, anger, and hatred are not helpful. Instead, they will harm ourselves, make our lives more miserable, and even lead to self-destruction. The enemy’s purpose is to fill us with hatred, bitterness, and unforgiveness, occupy our hearts with a lot of sadness, and destroy our lives. Therefore, we must learn to transcend these people and things, and truly live in a redeemed and released freedom. We should not be bound by the hurts and shadows of the past, but let God deal with and change us.

很多时候我们把控制权交给伤害我们的人，或者黑暗的权势，让自己现在的受苦受伤都归咎于其他人。其实当我们一直指责别人的时候，我们就是在承认那个对我们有控制权，他可以控制我们的情感，生活，和思想。圣经教导我们，苦毒恼怒和憎恨是没有帮助的，反而会伤害我们自己，让自己活的更悲惨，甚至走向自我毁灭。仇敌的目的就是让我们里面充满了仇恨，苦毒，不饶恕，用很多的伤心来霸占我们的心，摧毁我们的人生。所以，我们要学习超越这些的人事物，真正的活在一个被救赎、被释放的自由里。我们不要被过去的伤害和阴影给绑住，而让神来处理、改变我们。

3. Whatever we focus on, we will eventually become that kind of person

三、我们专注什么，最终就成为那样的人

If we keep focusing on those who hurt us and keep repeating the sights and sounds of hurt and hatred, our lives will keep going in that direction. When we were children, we may often say that we don’t want to be like our parents or that we don’t want to be like someone, only to find that we look a lot like them, because our thoughts have been going in these directions that hurt us and have been strengthening them. These injured people and things. Therefore, the law of life in the kingdom of God is that we must learn to gaze at God, open to God, and allow God to enter our weakest and most wounded places and restore and rebuild our hearts again. When we can look at Him, we experience Him changing our brains, because the most important thing He deals with in us is our hearts. When we look at Him, our hearts can once again receive the best of God.

我们若一直专注那些伤害我们的人，不断重复那些受伤仇恨的景象和声音，我们的生命就一直往那个方向走。我们在童年的时候可能常会说我们不要像自己的爸妈或不要像某人，结果却发现自己长得跟他们都很像，因为我们的思想都一直往这些伤害我们的方向走，一直在强化这些受伤的人事物。所以，神国生命的法则就是我们要学习注视神，向神打开，让神能够进到我们最软弱，最受伤的地方，将我们的心再一次的恢复，重建。当我们能够注视他的时候，我们就会经历他改变我们的大脑，因为他最重要处理我们身上的就是我们的心。当我们注视他的时候，我们的心能够再一次的领受神最美好的事物。

1 Peter 3:8-9 teaches us to be “of the same mind.” When we look at God, we will understand God’s heart and have “kindness and humility.” When we look at God, we will let go of all the things that were difficult to live with before. As the scripture says, when we no longer repay evil with evil and insult with insult, we will bless, because this is the work of the Holy Spirit, it is the Holy Spirit who changes our inner being that was originally filled with insults, bitter judgments. When we look at God and have the same heart as God, we can let go and be humble. We will find that God replaces all evil and insults with blessings. When we look at God, we will also receive blessings and have a life and fruit filled with God’s blessings!

彼得前书三章8到9节教导我们要“同心”，当我们注视神的时候，我们就会懂神的心，而且会存“慈怜谦卑的心”。当我们注视神的时候，我们就会放下所有之前过不去的东西，正如经文所说，当我们不再以恶报恶，以辱骂还辱骂的时候，我们就会祝福，因为这是圣灵的工作，是圣灵改变了我们原本充满了辱骂苦毒论断的内在。当我们注视神的时候，我们能够同神的心，就可以放下，能够谦卑，我们会发现神用祝福代替所有的恶和辱骂。当我们注视神的时候，我们还会承受祝福，拥有充满了属神祝福的生命和果子！
