拒接情慾的種子（二）
拒接情慾的種子（二）Refusing to Receive the Seed of Lust (2)
文/田珍寶
西元2008年，禱告中，她看異象，見有二位年輕的姊妹，伸出雙手，接住魔鬼撒的情慾的種子。神且在異象中，默示她：魔鬼撒的種子中，最容易發芽的，就是情慾的種子；其次是貪財的種子。要拒絕接受魔鬼撒的種子，才能不犯罪，守住神的道。人若一接住魔鬼撒的情慾的種子，很難脫離誘惑和試探、非常危險！要為她們禱告，迫切地禱告，隻有懇求神憐憫、幫助，才能脫離魔鬼撒下的情網……
人被聖潔的婚姻(在神面前結婚)之外的情網捉住，即變了另一個人，不看重屬靈的生命，不聽從聖經神的教訓──在主內聯婚，不嫁娶非真耶穌教會的信徒，不婚前苟合行淫，不婚後外遇，不同性戀，不憑自己的想法挑選婚姻的另一半，不以詭詐待與己盟約的配偶(瑪二10~16)。所得到的後果是什麼？君不見，那欣喜接住魔鬼撒的情慾的種子的弟兄姊妹，在世的日子，幸福嗎？沒有神的同在，得不到神的眷顧和保佑，平安嗎？悽悽慘慘，鎮日活在神的忿怒之中，惶恐、驚懼！尚有末日神的審判、永遠受地獄之刑罰、無止無息的痛苦、等著！哪來的因情愛而得的喜樂？哪還有自比海枯石爛長久穩固的愛情？隨著我們犯死罪離開神，一切的福分，都瞬間消失！豈可不慎？豈能不察？
愛一個人，易；接受人的愛，也易。惟獨男女之間的情愛，隻有在主內結婚的二人，才能享有，不能與婚姻以外之人共享。在主裡尚未婚配的同靈，必須靠著聖靈的幫助，時時追求被聖靈充滿，將神的話謹記在心，耐心等候神的安排，不要埋怨；妥善安排單身、無牽無掛的時間，在屬靈和屬世的學問知識上，努力學習，神絕不會虧待你的，必賜你生前、在日光之下勞碌的事上所得的分──主所愛的他(她)，一生快活度日，建立耶穌基督同在的家庭，攜手同奔天路，多麼蒙福？縱然患難如火星飛騰，卻不遭害；有主倚靠，滿足喜樂。
西元2009年，本會同靈做異夢，夢裡見到平日有默契、彼此喜歡、相互欣賞的同事，竟然口裡吐著蛇信！淩晨三點驚醒！頓悟：感謝神！這是神的提醒啊！我們認為對人好、看別人比自己強、與人和睦相處，卻不能失去防備的心；防備什麼？感情漲溢在外、流向非自己的配偶之人哪！趕緊跟神悔改禱告，求主赦免、保守自己的心，勿掉入魔鬼設下的陷阱，離神而去呀！亦求主保護那人，不要放錯感情而傷心，懇求神揀選疼愛自己很珍惜的朋友，有一天亦能同奔天國路，享受永遠之福！
主知道搭救敬虔的人脫離試探，把不義的人留在刑罰之下，等候審判的日子；那些隨肉身、縱污穢的情慾、輕慢主治之人的，更是如此……行不義之人，喜愛白晝宴樂，他們已被玷汙，又有瑕疵，以自己的詭詐為快樂；他們滿眼是淫色，止不住犯罪；引誘那心不堅固的人，心中習慣了貪婪，正是被咒詛的種類，他們離棄正路，就走差了(彼後二9~10、13~15)。
故不可給魔鬼留地步(弗四27)，切勿接住撒但撒下的種子，尤其是情慾的種子。主耶穌認識誰是祂的人；凡稱呼主名的人，總要離開不義。要逃避私慾，同那清心禱告主的人追求公義、信德、仁愛、和平。自潔，脫離卑賤的事，就必作貴重的器皿，成為聖潔，合乎主用，豫備行各樣的善事(提後二19、22、21)。能為主所用，不就是你我衷心期盼、日夜等候主差遣的美事麼？

Refusing to Receive the Seed of Lust (2)
By Angel Tien
Translated by Amos Ku
In 2008, a sister saw a vision during her prayer: Two young sisters extended their hands and received the seed of lust from Satan. God revealed to her in the vision that among the seeds of Satan, the kind of seeds that would sprout first is the seed of lust, then the seed of greed. Only by refusing seed of lust from Satan can we not commit sins and obey the word of God. Once a person receives seeds of lust, it will be difficult for him/her to get away from temptations and tests from Satan. It is very dangerous! We need to pray for them earnestly. Only if we pray earnestly, can we get away from the net that Satan casts toward us.
Once a person is caught in the net of lust outside the holy matrimony (that is, marriage before God), he/she will become another person, who will not pay attention to spiritual life and not listen to God’s word in the Bible , (to be married in the Lord, to marry only True Jesus Church (abbreviated as TJC hereafter) members, to not to commit adultery before marriage, and not to love other people than our own spouse, not to become a homosexual, not to choose our own spouse by our own wills, and not to cheat our spouse who made a covenant with us (Malachi 2: 10~16)).
What are the consequences if we do any of these sinful acts? Have not all of us seen those who joyfully received the seeds of lust from Satan lead a life of misery? Without the abidance of God and His protection, there will be no peace. We will be living miserably in the wrath of God, fearing and trembling daily. Not only this. There will be judgment of God, endless punishment in hell, and endless pain and suffering, waiting for us. Where is the joy resulted from love? Where is the love that is supposedly stronger than rock and more abundant than sea? Once we commit mortal sins and leave God, all the blessings will disappear. Can we not be careful and not watch out?
It is easy to love another person and receive a love from another person. However, only those marry within the Lord can enjoy true love within marriage. We can never share this love with any other than our own spouse. Those who have not been married within the Lord have to rely on help from the Holy Spirit, filled with the Holy Spirit, keeping word of God in our hearts, waiting for the arrangement of God. Do not complaint. Cherish your time in this period of freedom and carefree. Strive to learn more of knowledge both spiritually and worldly. God will never disregard our efforts to be holy. He will surely grant you whatever fruit your labor under the sun should grow you – give the person that shall be your spouse. How blessed we will be if we live a life happily, building a Christ based family and walking toward the Heavenly Kingdom together? We will not be harmed even if tribulations and suffering are coming unexpectedly. With God on our side, we will be satisfied.
In 2009, a TJC member had a dream in which this member saw a coworker who expressed mutual like toward each other stuck out a tongue of snake from the mouth! The member was greatly shocked and woke up horribly! This member realized, “Thank God! This is a reminder from God!”
We should treat others with grace, see others better than we are, and live peacefully with others, but we cannot put down our guards. Guarding against what? We should guard against the tendency to let out our love toward those other than our own spouse. We should repent and pray for God’s forgiveness. We should guard our hearts, so that we will not fall into the trap of Satan and leave God. We should also pray to God that this person will not be too sorrowful by expressing love to a wrong person. Pray that God cherish a friend who we cherish much. Someday this person can also walk toward the Heavenly Kingdom with us and enjoy eternal blessings!
Chapter 2, verse 9 and 10, and verse 13 to 15 of II Peter say “…the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the Day of Judgment, while continuing their punishment. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority…” and “They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you. With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed—an accursed brood! They have left the straightway and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved the wages of wickedness.”
Therefore we should not leave foothold to devil by refusing the seeds for lust from Satan. Lord Jesus knows who are His. Whoever called Him the Lord should leave unrighteous deeds and escape from lust, and chapter 2, verses 19, 22, and 21 of the book of II Timothy tell us, “Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness."”, “Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.”, and “If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.”
Is not it what we have all hoped for day and night from God to be used by the Lord?

離開神，我們人就找不到生活的意義；離開神，人就找不到生命真正的價值。沒有神，活著跟死一樣；沒有神，人不如不要到世界來；沒有神，人生就沒有希望。所以人的一生一旦沒有神，我們的計畫、我們的理想、我們的生活，一切都變成空的！所以耶利米書第二章才說，離開神，自己就變成虛妄。
所以，不是神要我們，是我們需要神。這個、非常重要的一點。因為有一些人，他覺得，來教會聚會，給神一個面子；來教會聚會，給教會負責人、傳道人一個面子；啊、本來不來的，看到誰，所以他來了；或者因為自己的父母，所以來了。其實喔、不是神需要我們；聖經裡面說，千萬的天使在服侍神；以賽亞書說，天使在頌讚的時候，殿的根基震動，聖殿充滿了榮耀！如果我們不拜神，神還在那個地方，神的榮耀還在那裡，神的權柄還在那裡，神沒有影響。因為，人好像灰塵一樣；人拜不拜神，對神沒有影響。但是，如果人沒有拜神，人的吃虧最大。因為一切，變成虛妄……
所以我們人要變化做新人，最重要是那個改變，要拔出來、毀壞，這個最難！那耶利米要改變的是什麼？是他們離開神、那種生活方式。那怎麼改變？就告訴他們說：「你們不對！」我們知道，如果有一個人，到處去講：「你不對！」這個人，大概沒有朋友；因為大家都很喜歡人告訴你，你有什麼好處。所以耶利米幾十年做先知，他隻做一件事情，告訴以色列百姓：「你們不對，要悔改，不然大難臨到！」所以，他沒有朋友，到處受逼迫。但是他的訊息是真的，這個是以色列百姓得救的一條路──要回轉、歸向神，不然大難、巴比倫就下來啦！所以耶利米受很多的苦，但是他忠心到底。他忠心到底，是因為他對神的敬畏跟順服！也是對人的憐憫跟愛……
神在用人啊、那個屬靈的條件很重要；聖經裡面找不到，神在用人的時候說：「誒、這個人很有恩賜，所以我揀選他、用他。」沒有這樣的，沒有一個是這樣的。聖經、揀選人，好像耶利米，他是小孩子啊！看不出他有什麼恩賜，但是耶利米有屬靈的條件：就是他對人有憐憫的心，他對神有敬畏的心！這個是神用他的一個重要原因……
耶利米書第一章8節：「你不要懼怕，因為我與你同在。」耶利米年紀很小，他說：「我怕！」神說：「你不要怕，我要跟你同在。」這一句話是做聖工，一個重要的條件──我要跟你同在。如果沒有神的同在，耶利米沒有辦法做先知幾十年哪！他早就被打死了。所以神的同在，使他能夠繼續做下去幾十年。
所以保羅跟提摩太說：你要靠著神的恩典、剛強起來！我們做聖工會剛強，是因為神的恩典；我們本身算不了什麼。沒有神的同在，我們沒有辦法一直服事到現在。你看教會裡面好多人很熱心在服事神幾十年到現在，這是靠神的恩典。不然有時候，一人講一句話，你說：「不做，算啦！」所以神才會叫我們剛強，一直往下做。
但是我們要想一件事情：耶利米到最後，工作有沒有果效？答案是：沒有。他傳警告幾十年，一個也沒有聽，沒有人聽。他、使命很清楚，就是要拔出、毀壞、要建立、栽植。神的同在、很清楚，但是作工，沒有果效。為什麼沒有果效？不是神沒有能力，不是耶利米沒有盡心，是人剛硬！硬心不改變！
所以今天我們要了解，教會的聖工，我們要盡力做，我們要靠神，但是結果，我們沒有辦法預測。如果我們自我檢討：我已經盡力做了！盡力禱告啦！但是結果就不是我們能夠控制的。挪亞造方舟、傳警告，到最後幾個信？一個也沒有，隻有他的家八個人。
所以末世來到，我們要傳福音，愈來愈難，我們最重要、就是要：盡力做！要求主與我們同在。保羅撒種，亞波羅澆灌，但是神叫它長大；我們結果就交給神。但是我們做的工、精神所付出去的，神都會記念……
A Weeping Prophet - Jeremiah
by Pr. D. Liang
(Languages: Spoken in Mandarin, Translated in English)
Leaving God, we, humans, will not be able to find the meaning of life; and we will not find the true value of life. Without God, living is the same as death; it will be better men not born into the world; and there will be no hopes in our lives. Therefore, if men is living without God, whatever our plans, ideals and what kind of lives we are leading will be meaningless. This is why chapter 2 of Jeremiah says that we will be like nothing by leaving God.
So, God does not need us, but we all need God. This is a very important concept we should all have. Some people think that he comes to church to make God, church board members, or preachers to feel good. Originally, he/she is not coming, but he/she comes because someone or his/her parents are going to show up.
As a matter of fact, God does not need us if we do not come to Him. We can see in the Bible that there are millions of millions of angels serving God. This is why the Book of Isiah says that when angels were praising God, the foundation of the temple shook and the temple was filled with glory! If we do not worship God, God is still in that place, His glory still remains, and His power still intact. God will never be affected by those of us who do not worship Him. Men are but like dusts, and God will never be affected by men's not worshiping Him. On the other hand, if Men do not worship God, men will suffer a great deal because whatever he is striving or has striven will become totally meaningless.
For a person to become anew, he/she needs to transform him/herself – to pull up and destroy. Pulling up and destroying ones old self are very difficult things to do. What prophet Jeremiah wanted the Israelites to do? He wanted them to leave the godless life by telling them what was wrong about their actions. If a person is spreading about the wrongs that we have done, he/she will have no friend, for everyone like to hear people to tell us what are the good things about us.
Jeremiah, in his several decades of being a prophet, did only one thing – telling the people of
When God uses a person, He looks upon the person's spiritual qualifications. The Bible never says, “Oh, this person is so gifted, so I shall choose him and use him.” No way! In the Bible, God chooses those who are like a child, just as Jeremiah was when he was chosen. No one can see any gift out of Jeremiah, but Jeremiah had spiritual qualifications, which is his sympathy toward mankind and his fear towards God! These are the factors why God chose him to be a prophet.
The book of Jeremiah Chapter 1 verse 8 says, “Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the LORD.” Jeremiah was young at the time God spoke this to him. Jeremiah said, “I am afraid!”. God told him, “Do not be afraid, for I will be with you.” These words are important when we conduct sacred work – God will be with us. If God was not with him, Jeremiah would not have become a prophet for several decades, and he would have beaten to death! It was because of God's abidance, Jeremiah was able to be a prophet for such a long time.
Therefore, Paul said to Timothy that he should be strong by the mercy of God. The reason that we have strength to carry out scared work of God is because of God's mercy. We are nothing, and we will not be able to serve him and men until now. Look at the people who serve in the church so many years. They all rely on God's mercy. Sometimes, someone says some bad things about us, we will say, “Forget it! I am not continue doing it anymore!” It is God at this time who give us strength to continue.
We need to think about one thing here: Did Jeremiah's work produce any effect? No! He preached warnings to the Israelites for several decades. No one listened. His message was very clear – to pull out, destroy, and rebuild and replant. God's abidance was very clear. However, there was no effect to what he had preached. Why there was no effect? It was not because God was powerless, not because Jeremiah was not doing his best, but because hearts of men were adamant – refusing to change.
Therefore, today, we need to realize that we need to do our best to perform sacred works in church by relying on God. Despite the fact that we have no control over the results, we need to examine ourselves – have we done our best? How many believed Noah when he preached the warnings of the flood? No one but eight people in his family.
The end time is coming. The mission to preach the gospel will be all the more difficult, but we will still need to do our best! We need to ask God's abidance. Paul sowed and Apollo watered, but it is God who grows it. We only need to give the results to the hands of God. God will remember our work and our efforts....
