📚[ A small story with great truth ]📚How God Answer Prayers?

Many brothers and sisters in the Lord have such confusion: “I also sincerely prayed to the Lord, but it seemed that the Lord did not listen to and answer my prayers.” We are often confused by this. How can this happen? Is the Lord not the One who listens to prayers? We do sincerely pray, why can’t we get the Lord’s response?Before we look for brothers and sisters confusion the reason, let us consider the following questions first: How do we want God to answer our prayers? Do we know how God answers our prayers? If we do not know how God answers our prayers, isn’t it easy to miss God’s answer?Today, we will discuss with you about the topic,Now, I'll share with brothers and sisters a story of missing a lot of God's salvation.

I remember I have seen such a short story:
A priest, trapped on the roof during a flood, prayed earnestly to God and he also believed God would come to save him. After the prayer, he saw there came a small boat, then a large ship and a helicopter, but he refused all their rescues, for he believed that God would come to save him. In the end, the priest was sucked in the flood by a large wave and was drowned.

After reading this story, can we say God doesn’t come to save him? No, God does come to save him. These rescue teams are all sent by God, but the priest misses them. In fact, in our experience, just like the priest, while praying to God, we are still imagining and expecting God to respond to us according to our own requirements and ways. If what God does did not meet our imagination, we would think God doesn’t answer our prayers. In many cases, it is not that God does not respond to our prayers, but rather that we do not know the ways God answers our prayers. We all know that God is the Creator while we are creatures, so it’s up to God how to answer our prayers. We should take up our position and learn to seek, accept and obey, but not to ask and expect God to respond to our prayers in the way we imagine, otherwise the loss will be on our own!

A Hymn of God's Words “Give Your Heart to God to Gain His Approval”

I
To love and to believe in God, man should touch God's Spirit with heart, with heart, so they get God's satisfaction. Man should engage God's word with heart, so they are moved, moved by the Spirit of God. If people do not give their heart to God in their belief in Him, in Him, if His burden they don't embrace, they cheat God, practice religion in all they do. It cannot receive God's praise. When you give all your heart to God, you can have a deeper entry, be on higher planes of insight, and you'll have more understanding of your weaknesses and your flaws, eager to please the will of God, active, not passive, in entry. This shows you're a correct person.
II
If your heart is poured into God, and can keep quiet before Him, before Him, you'll be used by Holy Spirit, illumination you'll receive. Holy Spirit will make up for what you lack. When you give your heart to God, you'll grasp each subtle moving in spirit, in spirit, and each enlightenment from God. Hold onto this, you will enter the right path of being perfected by God.
III
When not giving their heart to God, then man's spirit becomes obtuse and numb. Someone like this won't have a right understanding of words of God, or a proper relation with God, and their disposition won't change. Changing one's disposition is to give their heart fully over to God, and to receive enlightenment from all the words that God has said. When you give all your heart to God, you can have a deeper entry, be on higher planes of insight, and you'll have more understanding of your weaknesses and your flaws, eager to please the will of God, active, not passive, in entry. This shows you're a correct person.

神是我們唯一的拯救和依靠

人在這個世界上生存，總想找一個依靠，經歷之後才發現，誰也靠不住，最後，不管面臨什麼樣的痛苦和患難，還是自己孤獨的去面對，那麼，到底誰才是我們真正的依靠呢？誰才能真正的 #拯救我們脫離苦海呢？

神的話說：「除了神以外，沒有任何人或者是東西能夠拯救你脫離苦海不再受苦，這是神的實質決定的。也只有神自己這麼無私地拯救著你，對你的前途、對你的命運、對你的人生負責到底，為你安排一切，這是任何一個受造之物與非受造之物所不能達到的。因為沒有任何一個受造之物或者非受造之物具備神這樣的實質，所以沒有任何的人或物能夠有這個能力去拯救你，去帶領你，這就是神的實質對於人的重要性。」「……人生活在這個世界上不是獨立的，人有神的牽掛與神的同在，神是人永遠的依靠，神是每一個跟隨他之人的親人，有他作依靠，人不再孤單，不再無助……」

從神的話中我們感受到，不管人生路上如何艱難險阻，神在帶領著我們，時時在我們的身邊守護著，只有神在無私地供應著我們，只有神才能對我們的人生負責，只有神才能拯救我們脫離苦海，不再受苦，神是我們的堅強後盾，神是我們今生唯一的 #依靠。

【 💕 願喜樂與你同行 💕】
端午節到了，想必大家除了吃粽子，一定也會想到端午節背後的故事吧，這個節日時為了紀念詩人屈原，他一身才華卻不能為當時的國家所用，懊惱、愁苦、壓抑讓他身怀大石投江而死！不敬拜神，沒有神的看顧保守，在臨到挫折、失敗、壓抑、痛苦時，無法擺脫，只能走向死亡！而今天我們有神就不同了。
當我們面臨壓抑、煩惱、傷心痛苦時；
神的話說：「你最難的時候，你最摸不著神的時候，在你最痛苦、最孤獨的時候，在你覺得外表上好像遠離神的時候，人最應該做的一件事是什麼？就是呼求神。你呼求神就有力量；你呼求神，你就能感覺到神的存在；你呼求神，就能感覺到神的主宰；你呼求神，你禱告神，你把你的命交在神的手中，你就能感覺到神就在你身邊，神沒有離棄你。」
當我們對生活不滿、充滿抱怨時；
神的話說：「……當人認識到神主宰人命運的時候，聰明人便選擇認識、接受神的主宰，告別『靠自己的雙手來創造美好人生』的痛苦的日子，而不是繼續與命運抗爭，也不是繼續以自己的方式追求所謂的人生目標。」
當我們經受失敗、挫折、灰心失望時；
神的話說：「現在非常簡單，用心仰望神立時靈裡剛強，有實行的路，每走一步神都帶領，神的話會隨時隨地向你顯明。無論何時何地，有多大環境，只要你心仰望神，神必會讓你看清，神心必顯明於你，往前奔跑不會失迷。」
當我們充滿壓力、焦慮、身心疲倦時；
神的話說：「人只有接受了造物主的主宰，順服造物主的擺佈與安排，追求得著真正的人生，人才能逐步擺脫所有的心酸與痛苦，擺脫人生的一切虛空。」

只有會聽神的聲音才能看見神的顯現

經上說：「聖靈向眾教會所說的話，凡有耳的，就應當聽！」（啟2：7）
「我的羊聽我的聲音，我也認識他們，他們也跟著我。」（約翰10：27）

從這節經文中我們可以看到，主再來時還要向我們發聲說話，神的羊聽神的聲音，我們只要找到聖靈的發聲，聽聽是不是神的聲音，就能確定是不是神的顯現。

就如在恩典時代主耶穌來作工時，彼得、撒瑪利亞婦人和拿但業等人，他們就是通過聽主耶穌的說話，認出來主耶穌就是預言中要來的彌賽亞，從而跟隨了主，得到主耶穌的救恩。

中我們看到，會不會聽神的聲音，直接決定我們能不能看見神的顯現，迎接到主的再來。弟兄姊妹，願神帶領我們早日尋找到神的發聲説話，跟隨上神的腳蹤！

「我們既要尋找神的腳蹤，那就得尋找尋找神的心意，尋找神的說話，尋找神的發聲，尋找神的說話，尋找神的發聲，因為哪裡有神的新說話哪裡就有神的聲音，哪裡有神的腳蹤哪裡就有神的作為，哪裡有神的發表哪裡就有神的顯現，哪裡有神的顯現哪裡就有真理、道路、生命的存在。」

What Can We Learn From Samaritan Woman?

01/21/2019 Leave a comment

By Zhang Yiping

Presumably many of us believers are familiar with the story of the Samaritan woman recorded in the Bible. When she drew water, she met the Lord Jesus, who asked her for a drink. From her exchange with the Lord Jesus, she recognized that He was the Messiah foretold in the prophecies.

She was just an ordinary woman and didn’t have much Bible knowledge, but she was able to do so. This is really amazing. All of us know that, within those three and a half years that the Lord Jesus worked on earth, many people once contacted Him for a short time, and moreover, there were many who heard Him speak. However, there were too few who were able to recognize that He was the Messiah. Then, how did the Samaritan woman do it? Was it because of the Lord Jesus’ special grace? Or was there any secret behind it? Let’s read her story to look for answers to these questions together. https://reurl.cc/jeGb2

The Samaritan woman talks to the Lord Jesus at the well

It is recorded in the Bible: “There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus said to her, Give me to drink. (For his disciples were gone away to the city to buy meat.) Then said the woman of Samaria to him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that said to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water. … Whoever drinks of this water shall thirst again: But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come here to draw. Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband, and come here. The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have well said, I have no husband: For you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: in that said you truly. The woman said to him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Jesus said to her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. The woman said to him, I know that Messias comes, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus said to her, I that speak to you am he. … The woman then left her water pot, and went her way into the city, and said to the men, Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?” (John 4:7-10, 13-26, 28-29).

From the above scriptures we can see that there are two main reasons why the Samaritan woman was able to recognize that the Lord Jesus was the coming Messiah.

1. Recognizing God’s Voice in the Lord Jesus’ Utterance

At first, when the Lord Jesus asked the Samaritan woman for some water, she guarded against Him because He was a Jew, since the Jews had no dealings with the Samaritans. But after the Lord Jesus spoke some words to her, she perceived that He was out of the ordinary, so she called Him Sir. When hearing the Lord Jesus said, “Whoever drinks of this water shall thirst again: But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life,” she felt that His words had authority and power and couldn’t be said by ordinary people. Then, the Lord Jesus revealed her innermost secrets, saying, “For you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband.” She felt astonished at this because nobody knew the things she did in secret. But the Lord Jesus, who had never met her before, knew all about her. She was sure that that was unattainable by ordinary people, so she considered the Lord Jesus a prophet. Therefore, she spoke about her own confusion and asked Him whether to go to the mountain or to Jerusalem to worship God. The Lord Jesus said, “The hour comes, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.” He also clearly told her, “When the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him.” After hearing all this, she recognized that the Lord Jesus was the Messiah. It was because the Lord Jesus resolved her confusion with just a word, and also pointed out to her the path of practice to worship God. This allowed her to understand that when worshiping God, believers shouldn’t rigidly adhere to external formalities, but should worship God in spirit and in truth, and that only praying genuinely and sincerely is after God’s heart. Especially when hearing the Lord Jesus say, “I that speak to you am he,” she was rejoiced and became even more certain that He was the Messiah. Thus, she hurriedly went to the city and told the good news to the people there. Though the exchange between the Lord Jesus and her was short, the name by which she called Him changed very quickly. It was because she saw that the Lord’s words had authority and power, and He was able to reveal her innermost secrets and corruption, resolve her problem and confusion, and point out to her the clear way to practice. For this reason, she recognized that the Lord Jesus was the coming Messiah.

2. Putting Herself Aside and Humbly Seeking

As a matter of fact, the Samaritans had always been looked down upon by the Jews, and they had no dealings with each other. So, when hearing the Lord Jesus ask her for some water, she was very surprised. But she didn’t refuse to talk with the Lord because of it, but humbly listened to Him speak. When hearing that the Lord Jesus possessed the living water, she was able to put herself aside and ask Him to give her the water which could bring her everlasting life. When the Lord Jesus revealed her unspeakable secrets, though she wasn’t willing to mention them, this didn’t stop her from talking with Him and instead she continued to seek from Him. After the Lord Jesus resolved her confusion, and allowed her to understand how to worship God to be after God’s heart, she recognized that the Lord Jesus was the coming Messiah. From this we can see that the other reason why the Samaritan woman could receive salvation by grace was because she was able to humble herself to seek the truth. Thus, she received God’s grace, hearing God’s voice and welcoming the Messiah.

Now we are in the last days, the key moment when the Lord comes. Then, how should we absorb the strengths of the Samaritan woman so that we can welcome the Lord Jesus’ return?

1. Paying Attention to Hearing God’s Voice

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). And it is prophesied many times in Revelation, “He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches” (Revelation 2-3). We can see from these words that when the Lord returns in the last days, He will speak again to tell us the truths we don’t understand. He requires us to be wise virgins and pay attention to hearing His voice. In this way, we can follow the footprints of the Lamb, go to the wedding feast, and receive God’s salvation in the last days. Therefore, if we want to welcome the Lord’s return, we need to actively seek the words the Holy Spirit speaks to all churches. When someone witnesses to us that the Lord has come to utter His word, we should follow the Samaritan woman’s example, and hear whether the word has authority and power, and whether it is able to reveal our corruptions that nobody knows, resolve our problems and difficulties, and point out to us the way to practice. I believe that upon hearing the words of the returned Lord, all who have a heart and a spirit will be able to hear that it is the voice of God. Just as the Lord Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me” (John 10:27).

2. Being Someone Who Is Poor in Spirit and Actively Seeks

The Lord Jesus said, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you: For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened” (Matthew 7:7-8). “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3).

Humbly seeking is the Lord’s requirement of us, and is also the key to whether we are able to welcome the Lord’s return. Now, in waiting for the Lord’s arrival most of us have many confusions and problems. For example, it was said that the Lord would return in 2000, but it’s 2019 now, so how come we have still not welcomed His return? Besides, the prophecies of the Lord’s return have basically all been fulfilled, so all those brothers and sisters who truly believe in the Lord feel that the Lord might have returned, wondering whether He has already appeared somewhere to work. So, shouldn’t we actively seek His footsteps? The Lord is faithful. He blesses the poor in spirit, and takes pity on those who thirst for the truth. If we can humbly seek, pray to the Lord more, and actively search for His footsteps, then God will surely lead and guide us, and allow us to welcome the Lord’s appearance in the last days. https://reurl.cc/jeGb2
