主來叩門，我們該如何迎接

肖　飛

信主後，弟兄姊妹都喜歡唱《良人在門外緊緊叩門》這首歌：「良人在門外緊緊叩門，夜露滴濕了他的頭髮，我們快起來快起來開門，別讓良人轉身而去。……」每次唱起這首歌，我們心裡都很受感動，也有很大的觸動。我們都想留住良人，到良人來叩門的時候能第一個聽見良人的聲音迎接到主，可以說，我們信主的人都在這樣盼望著。可是，主來會怎麼叩門呢？當主來叩門時，我們又該怎樣做才能迎接到主呢？這是我們每個信主的人都該思考的問題。

恩典時期主耶穌來作救贖工作的時候，主所行的神蹟奇事以及主的話傳遍了猶太境內，他的名也轟動了猶太全地，對當時的人來說，主耶穌領著門徒到處傳講天國的福音就是在向人叩門。主耶穌說：「天國近了，你們應當悔改！」（馬太福音4:17）主希望人能來到主面前悔改認罪，這樣人的罪就得著了赦免，人就能脫離律法的定罪咒詛而被神救贖。當時不少猶太百姓都看見了主耶穌所行的神蹟，也聽見了主的話語有權柄、有能力，如主耶穌拿起五餅二魚一祝謝就能讓五千人吃飽，主耶穌一句話就能平靜風和海，一句話就讓死了四天的拉撒路從墳墓裡出來……隨著主耶穌的話語一發出事情就應驗成就了，這讓我們看到了主話語的權柄與能力。還有主耶穌教導人的話語和斥責法利賽人的言語，這些話語都是真理，不是我們人能說出來的。主耶穌說的話與作的事都流露出神的性情與神的所有所是，都彰顯著神的權柄能力，都在震撼著人的心，可以說當時的猶太人已經聽見了主向他們叩門的聲音，但他們又是怎麼對待主的呢？https://reurl.cc/zX3Yy

 

當時猶太教的祭司長、文士和法利賽人，他們明知道主耶穌所講的道、所行的神蹟奇事都是出於神的，但他們沒有絲毫敬畏神的心，不尋求也不考察主耶穌的作工，只是一味地持守聖經預言的字句，相信要來的那一位叫以馬內利或彌賽亞，而且是童女所生。他們看到馬利亞有丈夫就斷定主耶穌不是聖靈感孕，也不是童女所生，他們還隨意論斷，說主耶穌是木匠的兒子，只是一個普普通通的人，以此來否認、定罪主耶穌，甚至褻瀆主耶穌是靠著鬼王別西卜趕鬼，最後還聯合羅馬政府把主耶穌釘在了十字架上。而多數猶太百姓認為主耶穌應該降生在皇宮，將來作他們的王帶領他們脫離羅馬人的統治。當法利賽人散佈謠言毀謗、定罪主耶穌的時候，他們不加分辨盲目聽從，在主耶穌的救恩與法利賽人的謠言之間，他們選擇聽信法利賽人的謊言、鬼話，拒絕了主耶穌所傳的道，在主叩門時，他們的心向主關閉了。正如主耶穌說：「在他們身上，正應了以賽亞的預言，說：『你們聽是要聽見，卻不明白；看是要看見，卻不曉得；因為這百姓油蒙了心，耳朵發沉，眼睛閉著，恐怕眼睛看見，耳朵聽見，心裡明白，回轉過來，我就醫治他們。』」（馬太福音13:14-15）這些猶太百姓因著拒絕聽主的聲音，不接受主的救贖工作，失去了跟隨主耶穌的機會，結果因抵擋神遭到神的懲罰，導致以色列亡國兩千年。與之相反，當時那些跟隨主耶穌的門徒，像彼得、約翰、雅各、拿但業等人，他們有一顆喜愛真理的心，不憑自己的觀念想像對待主耶穌的說話作工，而是認真尋求，細心考察，獲得了聖靈的開啟，聽出了神的聲音，認出了主耶穌就是那要來的彌賽亞，從而跟上了主的腳蹤，得著了主的救恩。可見，法利賽人和猶太百姓的失敗之處就在於，他們只根據聖經預言的字面意思來領受和認識神的顯現與作工，才導致他們信神卻成了抵擋神的人。由此可見，信神之人如果憑自己的觀念想像來對待神的新工作，不但迎接不到神的到來，反而還極容易成為信神卻抵擋神的人，這豈不太可悲了嗎？主耶穌說：「虛心的人有福了！因為天國是他們的。……飢渴慕義的人有福了！因為他們必得飽足。」（馬太福音5:3、6）從中看到，我們只有像彼得、約翰等人那樣，聽到主的聲音有飢渴慕義的心，能主動尋求、考察才能迎接到主的再來。https://reurl.cc/zX3Yy

今天，主末世再來的預言已經基本應驗，在末世主再來的日子裡，我們更得儆醒預備，留心神的聲音，存著尋求、飢渴慕義的心等待主隨時向我們叩門，才能迎接到主的重歸。主耶穌說：「我還有好些事要告訴你們，但你們現在擔當不了（或作：不能領會）。只等真理的聖靈來了，他要引導你們明白（原文作：進入）一切的真理……」（約翰福音16:12-13）還有啟示錄也多次預言：「聖靈向眾教會所說的話，凡有耳的，就應當聽！」（啟示錄2、3章）從經文中看到，主耶穌再來還要發聲說話作新的工作，這正是主在向我們叩門，也就是用他的話語來叩開我們的心門。凡是聽到主的發聲說話就積極尋求，認真聽主的聲音，這樣的人就是聰明童女，他們一旦認出主的聲音就能迎接到主的重歸，接受神話語的澆灌供應，這正應驗了神的話：「在那些日子，我要將我的靈澆灌我的僕人和使女。」（約珥書2:29）主是信實的，在這期間主必會讓每個渴慕尋求主的人都聽見他的聲音，但神的智慧是我們人難以測透的，主來向我們叩門的方式，不會按著我們的觀念想像來，可能是藉著別人喊著說「主回來了」來告訴我們，就如主耶穌警示我們的：「半夜有人喊著說：『新郎來了，你們出來迎接他！』」（馬太福音25:6）也可能從一些傳主再來福音的教會那裡，或是從網上、電台、Facebook等其他途徑來讓我們聽見神的聲音，看見神向眾教會的發聲說話。但無論主藉著什麼樣的方式向我們叩門，我們千萬不要像猶太百姓一樣對待主的叩門，憑著觀念想像不尋求也不考察，更不要盲目聽信謊言、謠傳，從而拒絕了主的呼喚，錯失了迎接主來被提進天國的機會。啟示錄預言：「看哪，我站在門外叩門，若有聽見我聲音就開門的，我要進到他那裡去，我與他，他與我，一同坐席。」（啟示錄3:20）主耶穌說：「尋找，就尋見；叩門，就給你們開門。」（馬太福音7:7）主的心意是希望我們都能做聰明的童女，時刻儆醒聽主的聲音，當聽見主的聲音就能虛心尋求，認真考察，當認出神的聲音就趕緊出來迎接主，只要我們存著一顆尋求的心，相信神必會開啟我們的靈眼，這樣我們就能被提到神的寶座前赴上羔羊的筵席！https://reurl.cc/zX3Yy

小編推薦：

末世主已顯現作工，發聲說話作了審判從神家起首的工作，聰明童女會聽主的聲音迎接到了主，完全應驗了聖經預言：「看哪，我站在門外叩門，若有聽見我聲音就開門的，我要進到他那裡去，我與他，他與我，一同坐席。」（啟示錄3:20）「因為時候到了，審判要從神的家起首。」（彼得前書4:17）愚拙童女因著不會聽神的聲音，不尋求考察真道，結果沒有迎接到主，被顯明淘汰落在災難中。

你知道聰明童女是怎樣聽神的聲音迎接到主的嗎？

Salita ng Buhay | "Ang Pagpapakita ng Diyos ay Nagdala ng Bagong Kapanahunan" (Sipi)

Sabi ng Makapangyarihang Diyos: "Ang pagpapakita ng Diyos ay tumutukoy sa Kanyang personal na pagdating sa lupa upang gampanan ang Kanyang gawain. Dala ang Kanyang pagkakakilanlan at disposisyon, at ang Kanyang likas na pamamaraan, Siya ay bumababa sa sangkatauhan upang isakatuparan ang gawain ng pag-uumpisa ng isang panahon at pagtatapos ng isang panahon. Ang uri ng pagpapakitang ito ay hindi isang anyo ng seremonya. Ito ay hindi isang simbolo, isang larawan, isang himala, o magarbong pangitain, at lalong hindi ito isang prosesong pangrelihiyon. Ito ay isang tunay at makatotohanang kaalaman na maaaring hawakan at makita. Ang uri ng pagpapakitang ito ay hindi upang sumunod lamang sa isang pamamaraan, o para sa isang panandaliang gawain; ito, sa halip, ay para sa kapakanan ng isang yugto sa gawain sa Kanyang plano sa pamamahala. Ang pagpapakita ng Diyos ay laging makabuluhan, at laging kaugnay ng Kanyang plano sa pamamahala. Ang pagpapakitang ito ay lubos na naiiba sa pagpapakita ng patnubay ng Diyos, pamumuno, at pagliliwanag sa tao ng Diyos. Isinasagawa ng Diyos ang isang yugto ng dakilang gawain sa tuwing inihahayag Niya ang Sarili Niya. Ang gawaing ito ay naiiba sa anumang gawain sa alinmang ibang kapanahunan. Hindi ito maiisip ng tao... at hindi rin ito naranasan kailanman ng tao. Ito ay gawain na nagsisimula ng bagong kapanahunan at nagwawakas ng lumang panahon, at ito ay isang bago at pinahusay na anyo ng gawain para sa kaligtasan ng sangkatauhan; bukod dito, ito ay gawaing pagdadala sa sangkatauhan sa bagong kapanahunan. Iyan ang kahulugan ng pagpapakita ng Diyos."

Ang Kidlat ng Silanganan, nilikha ang Iglesia ng Makapangyarihang Diyos dahil sa pagpapakita at gawain ng Makapangyarihang Diyos, ang ikalawang pagdating ng Panginoong Jesus, ang Cristo ng mga huling araw. Binubuo ito ng lahat ng mga taong tumatanggap sa gawain ng Makapangyarihang Diyos sa mga huling araw at nilupig at niligtas ng Kanyang mga salita. Lubos itong itinatag nang personal ng Makapangyarihang Diyos at pinamumunuan Niya bilang Pastol. Talagang hindi ito nilikha ng tao. Si Kristo ay ang katotohanan, daan, at buhay. Kordero ng Diyos pakinggan ang tinig ng Diyos. Hangga't nababasa ninyo ang mga salita ng Makapangyarihang Diyos, makikita ninyo na nagpakita ang Diyos.

✝ [ Bible Verses Q&A ] ✝
✉✉A Letter to Sister LiHua: I understand The Relationship Between Bible and God

Dear Li Hua,
I am Fang Di. It is more than half a year since we have seen each other. How you doing in Canada? I have some good news for you: I’ve accepted Almighty God’s work of the last days, and I want to share my experiences of investigating Almighty God’s work with you. Before, I was full of the pastors and elders’ words, believing that belief in God required the Bible, that there was no other words or work of God outside of the Bible, and that leaving the Bible was betraying the Lord. I was bound by these notions, so when the sisters from the Church of Almighty God spread the gospel to me, I refused to listen to their fellowship. Later they mailed me a book of The Word Appears in the Flesh and told me if I read Almighty God’s words more, all my notions and questions would be resolved.

One day, a sudden thought crossed my mind: What is written in this book? What questions can it resolve? Out of curiosity, I read the book and saw the following words: “For many years, people’s traditional means of belief (that of Christianity, one of the world’s three major religions) has been to read the Bible; departure from the Bible is not the belief in the Lord, departure from the Bible is an evil cult, and heresy, and even when people read other books, the foundation of these books must be the explanation of the Bible. Which is to say, if you say you believe in the Lord, then you must read the Bible, you must eat and drink the Bible, and outside the Bible you must not worship any book that does not involve the Bible. If you do, then you are betraying God” (“Concerning the Bible (1)”). After reading the words, I was stunned, because these words revealed my views and attitude toward the Bible so clearly and went straight into my heart. After I believed in the Lord, I had never read any books other than the Bible. For I thought faith was faith in the Bible, that leaving the Bible meant leaving the Lord’s way and betraying the Lord. These words revealed my views about the Bible so accurately that I felt no ordinary people could speak them.

Thus, I eagerly read the book and came across this passage: “From the time when there was the Bible, people’s belief in the Lord has been the belief in the Bible. Instead of saying people believe in the Lord, it is better to say they believe in the Bible; rather than saying they have begun reading the Bible, it is better to say they have begun believing in the Bible; and rather than saying they have returned before the Lord, it would be better to say they have returned before the Bible. In this way, people worship the Bible as if it were God, as if it were their lifeblood and losing it would be the same as losing their life. People see the Bible as being as high as God, and there are even those who see it as higher than God. If people are without the work of the Holy Spirit, if they cannot feel God, they can carry on living—but as soon as they lose the Bible, or lose the famous chapters and sayings from the Bible, then it is as if they have lost their life. And so, as soon as people believe in the Lord they begin reading the Bible, and memorizing the Bible, and the more of the Bible they are able to memorize, the more this proves that they love the Lord and are of great faith. Those who have read the Bible and can speak of it to others are all good brothers and sisters. For all these years, people’s faith and loyalty to the Lord has been measured according to the extent of their understanding of the Bible” (“Concerning the Bible (1)”). Having read these words, I could hardly calm myself down, for every sentence was a true portrayal of my attitude toward the Bible. Thinking back on my days following the Lord: I consider studying the Bible and reciting the scriptures inseparable from my life. When contacting with brothers and sisters, I keep famous chapters and sayings from the Bible constantly in my mouth, and moreover, I can expend for the Lord, so brothers and sisters praise me as one who understands the Bible the best and who is loyal to and love the Lord. I even hold the Bible above my head when I pray, for I think the Bible and the Lord are indivisible. Without the Bible, I don’t know how to believe in the Lord; it has become my whole life, even to the extent that I see it as higher than the Lord. At these thought, I was amazed: Do these words really come from God? Otherwise, who can have such a thorough understanding of mankind and express the words that pierce through people’s heart? Just like the Bible said: “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12). “Do these words really come from God?” Carrying this question, I continued to read and came upon these words: “Most people simply don’t understand why they should believe in God, nor how to believe in God, and do nothing but search blindly for clues to decipher the chapters of the Bible. They have never pursued the direction of the work of the Holy Spirit; all along, they have done nothing but desperately study and investigate the Bible, and no one has ever found newer work of the Holy Spirit outside of the Bible, no one has ever departed from the Bible, nor have they ever dared to depart from the Bible” (“Concerning the Bible (1)”). These words caused me to sink into contemplation again. I pondered: Is our belief in the Lord according to the Bible wrong? The word and work of the Lord are all within the Bible, which was correct. However, what do the direction of the work of the Holy spirit and the newer work of the Holy Spirit refer to? I remembered that the sisters from the Church of Almighty God told me God has carried out a new stage of work. So I wondered: Is there really a new work of the Lord outside the Bible? Since I couldn’t figure it out, I decided to contact the brothers and sisters of the Church of Almighty God to find the answer.

Later, I had contact with them over Skype and a sister fellowshiped with me, saying, “The Lord Jesus said: ‘I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come’ (John 16:12-13). The Spirit of truth undoubtedly refers to God Himself. We can know from these words that there were many things and words that the Lord Jesus didn’t say in the Age of Grace and they were not recorded in the Bible either. For at that time, men had just been led out of the law by the Lord Jesus and their statures were too small to understand the higher truth. Therefore, God will come again in the last days to express the higher truth to supply people and carry out new work to lead them. Then, how can we say that there is no word and work of God outside of the Bible? Isn’t this the conception and imagination of man? As we all know, God is the Creator and the source of life for all things; His wisdom and omnipotence can’t be fathomed by any created being; His richness is inexhaustible in supply and is always available for use. God’s disposition and what He has and is revealed in every stage of His work is only a part of His disposition. What man saw and understood at the time was only the tip of the iceberg, just a drop in the barrel. So aren’t the things recorded in the Bible more limited? If we only come to know God from the records of the Bible or have gained a superficial knowledge of God’s work and His disposition by experiencing two stage of His work, can we have a complete understanding of God? Can we say that we have obtained truth and salvation? Can we draw the conclusion that God’s management plan has concluded in its entirety? In fact, the view that there is no work and word of God outside the Bible is merely man’s conception and imagination and it is not in accordance with the facts. Just as Almighty God says: ‘The work of God in each age has clear boundaries; He does only the work of the current age and never does He carry out the next stage of work in advance. Only in this way can His representative work of each age be brought to the fore. Jesus had spoken only of the signs of the last days, of how to be patient and how to be saved, how to repent and confess, as well as how to bear the cross and endure suffering; never did He speak of what man in the last days should enter into or how to seek to satisfy God’s will. As such, would it not be an act of fallacy to search within the Bible for God’s work of the last days? What can you discern merely holding the Bible in your hands? Be it an interpreter of the Bible or a preacher, who can foreknow the work of today?’ (‘How Can Man Who Has Defined God in His Conceptions Receive the Revelations of God?’). From these words, we know that God never clings to the old ways or does the work of the next age ahead of time. Rather, He works in steps and according to His plan and never interrupts His own work. Just like it was in the Age of Law, Jehovah God only decreed laws for men to abide and led them in their lives on earth, making them know what sin was, and He never told them His work in the Age of Grace. So the Old Testament only predicted the Lord Jesus would come and didn’t record His work in the Age of Grace. Only after the Lord Jesus came and carried out the work in the Age of Grace did people compile His work and words into the New Testament. It is the same regarding God’s work in the last days. The Lord Jesus merely predicted His work in the last days but He had not done it, so God’s work in the last days could not possibly have been recorded in the Bible.

Through reading God’s word and listening to the fellowship of the sister, I came to understand: The Bible merely testifies of God and records the work He has done in the past. If we blindly believe in God according to the Bible without understanding it, we will define God’s work with our conceptions and imaginations. God asks us to honor Him as great, but I see the Bible as higher than God, and even use the Bible to measure God and define His work. I am really disobedient to God! At that moment, I was both afraid and surprised. I was afraid that I would resist God because of my conception, while I was surprised because these words sounded like the voice of God and there was truth in them. I decided to listen to their fellowships carefully. Afterward, we read Almighty God’s word: “Since there are newer utterances, and newer work, why live amid old historical records? The new utterances can provide for you, which proves that this is the new work; the old records can’t sate you, or satisfy your current needs, which proves that they are history, and not the work of the here and now. The highest way is the newest work, and with the new work, no matter how high the way of the past, it is still the history of people’s reflections, and no matter its value as reference, it is still the old way. Even though it is recorded in the ‘holy book,’ the old way is history; even though there is no record of it in the ‘holy book,’ the new way is of the here and now. This way can save you, and this way can change you, for this is the work of the Holy Spirit” (“Concerning the Bible (1)”). Almighty God’s words are so clear and transparent. I came to know that God has done a new work and expressed new words. Only when we accept the new work and word of God, can we receive the work of the Holy Spirit and attain the supply of the truth. It is just like in the Age of Grace, the Lord Jesus led men out of the law, gave them mercy and lovingkindness, and had them obey the new commandments. All those who followed the Lord’s new work had the work of the Holy Spirit. By reading Almighty God’s word, I felt I had more spiritual knowledge which I had never understood when reading the Bible.

Since then, I decided to make a good investigation of Almighty God’s work. Afterward I looked at their videos and movies on the Church of Almighty God’s website and attended their meetings, which made me have a new understanding of the Church of Almighty God and the work of Almighty God. I felt that the Church of Almighty God had the Holy Spirit’s work and that there was truth in Almighty God’s words, so I confirmed that Almighty God is indeed the returned Lord Jesus and gladly accepted His work of the last days.

Now the kingdom gospel of Almighty God is expanding to every country and in every direction. I hope you can seek and investigate Almighty God’s work in the last days so as to follow God’s footsteps soon.

Sincerely yours,
Fang Di
