“西門彼得回答說,你是基督,是永生神的兒子。” (太 16:16 新國際版)

死亡是陰間門戶的能力和武器,在今天這仍然是真實的。然而,除非神開啟我們的眼睛,叫我們得以看見,我們就難以明了開口承認主的价值是多么重要。但當我們突然遭遇一些意料不到的環境時,我們往往會在灰心中發現,信心似乎失效,禱告也是無能,甚至我們的靈也癱瘓下來,這時,我們就有學習出聲宣告基督的需要。我們這樣做,就會發現神正期待這個宣告:「你是主,你是得胜者,你是君王!」最好的禱告,不是「我要」,乃是「你是」。借著神所啟示給我們的,讓我們出聲宣告!無論是在禱告聚會中,在主的桌子前,在單獨与主相交時,在擁擠的世界中,或在需要危急的黑暗時辰,讓我們學習宣告:「你是」!死亡是通往冥界之門的力量和武器,今天仍然如此。 然而,除非神開我們的眼睛看見,否則我們很難明白承認主的價值是多麼重要。 但當我們突然遇到一些意想不到的情況時,我們常常會發現自己的內心似乎信仰失敗了,祈禱也沒有了作用,甚至精神也癱瘓了。 這時,我們需要學習大聲傳揚基督。 當我們這樣做時,我們發現神正在期待這樣的宣告:“你是主,你是勝利者,你是王!” 最好的祈禱不是“我願意”,而是“你願意”。 讓我們通過神向我們啟示的事來說話吧! 無論是在禱告會中,在主餐前,在與主單獨交通時,在擁擠的世界中,還是在黑暗的需要時刻,讓我們學習宣告:“你是”!

"Simon Peter answered, 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.' "  (Matthew 16:16 NIV)

Death is the power and weapon of the portal to the underworld, and this is still true today. However, unless God opens our eyes to see, it is difficult for us to understand how important it is to confess the worth of the Lord. But when we suddenly encounter some unexpected circumstances, we often find in our hearts that our faith seems to have failed, prayer is also ineffective, and even our spirit is paralyzed. At this time, we need to learn to proclaim Christ aloud. As we do this, we discover that God is expecting this declaration: "You are Lord, You are the Victor, You are the King!" The best prayer is not "I will," but "You are." Let us speak out through what God has revealed to us! Whether in a prayer meeting, at the Lord's table, in alone fellowship with the Lord, in a crowded world, or in a dark hour of need, let us learn to declare, "You are"!
