禱告 VII B

不叫我們遇見試探．(太 6:13 )

聖靈如何保守我們

1.保守我們脫離撒但的綑綁，救我們脫離兇惡根據神的旨意。

2.聖靈釋放並保守我們，更使我們擁有神所為我們預備的全副軍裝，抵擋撒但，

要站穩了、用真理當作帶子束腰、用公義當作護心鏡遮胸．又用平安的福音、當作豫備走路的鞋穿在𥴠上．此外又拿凓信德當作籐牌、可以滅盡那惡者一切的火箭．並戴上救恩的頭盔、拿凓聖靈的寶劍、就是　神的道．(弗 6:14-17)

 "Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith...the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." (Eph. 6:14-17)

3.聖靈告訴我們幫助我們，脫離凶惡黑暗的綑綁，使我們安然進入神的國度中。

為你們不住的感謝　神、禱告的時候、常提到你們．求我們主耶穌基督的　神、榮耀的父、將那賜人智慧和啟示的靈、賞給你們、使你們真知道他．並且照明你們心中的眼睛、使你們知道他的恩召有何等指望．他在聖徒中得的基業、有何等豐盛的榮耀．(腓 1:16-18)

"Giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." (Eph. 1:16-18)

4.聖靈教導我們神如何釋放，扶持弟兄姊妹，但卻還有人不願意領受神為我們預備的救恩。

他屢次搭救他們、他們卻設謀背逆，因自己的罪孽降為卑下。 (詩 106:43)

David wrote, "Many times He delivered them, but they were bent on rebellion and they wasted away in their sin." (Psa. 106:43)

基督徒阿! 求神幫助我們遠離兇惡與試探。

5.聖靈教導我們等候神的時間，如約瑟等候神的時間，神的旨意將最終完成在神的百姓。

先祖嫉妒約瑟、把他賣到埃及去．　神卻與他同在、救他脫離一切苦難、又使他在埃及王法老面前、得恩典有智慧．法老就派他作埃及國的宰相兼管全家。 (徒 7:9-10)

Luke wrote, "Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God was with him and rescued him from all his troubles. He gave Joseph wisdom and enabled him to gain the goodwill of Pharaoh king of Egypt; so he made him ruler over Egypt and all his palace." (Acts 7:9,10)

求神給我們耐心等候神的計畫，透過我們的順服，等候神的時間。

6.聖靈教導我們，如何不被律法風俗習慣所綑綁，更能超越世界所為我們所留下的文化。

我的弟兄們、這樣說來、你們藉著基督的身體、在律法上也是死了．叫你們歸於別人、就是歸於那從死裏復活的、叫我們結果子給　神 。但我們既然在捆我們的律法上死了、現今就脫離了律法．叫我們服事主、要按著心靈的新樣、不按著儀文的舊樣。(羅 7:4,6)

Paul wrote, "Brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God. We have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code." (Rom. 7:4,6)

7.聖靈教導鼓勵我們跟隨主的僕人，如大衛，摩西，彼得，保羅經歷過神的帶領保守的前輩。

主必救我脫離諸般的兇惡、也必救我進他的天國。願榮耀歸給他、直到永永遠遠。阿們。(提後 4:18)

The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (2 Tim. 4:18)

四個原則來對我們所面對的敵人

A. 尊重對手不要小看
 
小子們哪、你們是屬　神的、並且勝了他們．因為那在你們裏面的、比那在世界上的更大。 (約一 4:4)

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. (1 John 4:4)

天使長米迦勒、為摩西的屍首與魔鬼爭辯的時候、尚且不敢用毀謗的話罪責他、只說、主責備你罷。 (猶 9)

But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!“ (Jud. 9)


B.逃避試探及罪的陷阱
　

但你這屬　神的人、要逃避這些事、追求公義、敬虔、信心、愛心、忍耐、溫柔。(提前 6:11)

But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. (1 Timothy 6:11), 𠐓


C.抵擋魔鬼 Say “NO” 對它的引誘
　

你們要順服　神．務要抵擋魔鬼、魔鬼就必離開你們逃跑了。(雅 4:7)

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (James 4:7)

你們要用堅固的信心抵擋他、因為知道你們在世上的眾弟兄、也是經歷這樣的苦難。 (彼前 5:9)

Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. (1 Peter 5:9)


D. 全副軍裝儆醒預備好.

 總要儆醒禱告、免得入了迷惑．你們心靈固然願意、肉體卻軟弱了。 (可 14:38)

Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.“ (Mark 14:38)

所以要拿起　神所賜的全副軍裝、好在磨難的日子、抵擋仇敵、並且成就了一切、還能站立得住。 (弗 6:13)

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. (Eph 6:13)

要穿戴　神所賜的全副軍裝、就能抵擋魔鬼的詭計。 (弗 6:11)

Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:11)

魔鬼現在是世界的王，但他卻沒有權炳在神的兒女身上，也沒有能力可以傷害任何一個屬神的人，除非神允許。

耶和華對撒但說、凡他所有的、都在你手中•只是不可伸手加害於他。於是撒但從耶和華面前退去。 (伯 1:12)

The LORD said to Satan, "Very well, then, everything he has is in your hands, but on the man himself do not lay a finger." Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD. (Job 1:12)

神有時選擇使祂的兒女馬上脫離苦難，但有時神也讓祂的兒女留在苦難中，為讓他們經歷神的同在與能力。

耶和華要保護你、免受一切的災害，他要保護你的性命。你出你入、耶和華要保護你、從今時直到永遠。(詩121:7-8)

The LORD will keep you from all harm-- he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. (Psa. 121:7-8)
