507 中翻英 (207)   In spiritual matters, faith and praying are amazing connecting.                                                      在屬靈的事上, 信心和禱告，是有著多麼惊奇的連結.      9/2/2023

我們在天上的阿巴父,  每早起來, 讀祢僕人倪析聲所寫的 "曠野裡的筵席",  就得到祢的祝福.  曠野是祢操練祢兒女的場所.  我們既被祢從罪中拯救出來, 就當向人作見証祢是上帝的兒子, 由童女從聖靈受孕所生.  奉主耶穌基督的名禱告.  阿們.

 九月二日晨曦默思啟示我們, 謙虛與信心是耶穌基督所看重的.  婦人說了這句話,     "主啊，不错；但是狗在桌子底下也吃孩子们的碎渣儿. "   但這句話常常令外邦人不了解, 所以作者倪析聲特別提出來.  固然信心在屬靈的事件上很重要.  但沒有表達出來, 那麼負擔就沒有辦法卸出去.    故作者要我們有基督信仰的人深思 :  上帝實在喜悅祂的子女開口.  不管所用的詞句話語多麼的簡單,  或是文字多麼的不順暢.   我們的主都看重. 

「耶穌對他說：因這句話，你回去罷！鬼已經离開你的女儿了！」（可   7:29 新國際版）

有時候有人問：禱告職事的操練對于基督徒既是如此重要，那么在禱告時應該出聲？還是只將我們禱告的負擔，安安靜靜的帶到神面前來？我相信那答案是：如果神給你一個禱告的負擔，祂實在很愿意你開口禱告。祂喜愛我們出聲將負擔表達出來，不論我們所用的話語是多么的簡短，或是文理不周。但如果沒有這樣的表達，負擔就沒有辦法卸出去。甚至我們的主耶穌在客西馬尼園時，也「大聲哀哭，流淚禱告，懇求」（來   5:7）我覺得在屬靈的事情上，信心和發言，是有著令人惊奇的連系。神不單注意我們所信的，也注意我們所說的。這個敘利非尼基族的女人，雖只說了一句話——而其結果卻是：當她回到家里時，鬼已經出去了！

"Then He told her,  "For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter."          (Mark 7:29 NIV1)

Often someone may ask,  "Since the practice of the ministry of prayer is so important to Christians, should one speak out when praying? Or should we just quietly bring our burden of prayer before God?"   The answer which I believe is,  "If God gives you a burden to pray, He really wants you to open your mouth to pray. He loves that we express our burdens aloud, no matter how brief or poorly our spoken words may be. But if there is no such expression, the burden cannot be unloaded. Even our Lord Jesus' praying in the Garden of Gethsemane was also crying with a loud voice and praying and supplicating with tears .....  (Hebrews 5:7).  I think there is an amazing connection between faith and praying in spiritual matters.  God is not only paying His attention to what we believe, but also to what we say.  The Syrian Phenicia woman spoke only a sentenace — and the result was: when she got home, the demon had left her daughter!
