正面積極的信心—-約翰一書5:4 [因為凡從上帝生的, 就勝過世界. 使我們勝過這世界的, 就是我們的信心.] 我們的信心指我們藉著信心與基督聯合, 並取用祂得勝的生命. 困難襲擊你的生活時, 你的第一個反應是什麼呢？不能被困住, 也不能過於樂觀, 而是要仔細評估, 作出最周全的安排. 這才是有信心的表現. 其實很多困難就像一層玻璃紙, 你捅破這層玻璃紙, 其實它和白菜蘿蔔也差不多. 聖經中有一個人物, 叫做保羅. 他曾在聖經中寫到［我們四面受敵, 卻不被困住, 心理作難, 卻不致失望.] 哥林多後書4:8. 保羅是一位偉大的鬥士, 他曾遭遇到許多迫害, 但是他沒有被環境打敗. 在這段話裏我們看到, 保羅並沒有否認四面受敵, 但不被負面的環境打敗. 的確是有問題, 但不專注於問題. 這就是正面積極的信心. 親愛的朋友, 信心不是駝鳥心態, 説我沒有看見困難, 而是承認有困難, 並且願意在正確認識評估困難後, 正面去迎向挑戰. 這才是真正的信心. 上帝是我們一切信心的源頭. 保羅因為信靠上帝, 相信在困難中不被困住. 在上帝一定有出路. 今天, 上帝要來鼓勵你, 使你能領受一份從上帝而來真正的信心. 能夠勝過眼前突如其來的挑戰. 而上帝會賜給你力量, 使你能突破一切困難. 為自己創造出從未想過的得勝人生. 1978年12月16日美國宣佈與台灣斷交, 撤軍, 毀約. 有如晴天霹靂. 當天我正參加同窗好友的結婚喜宴, 並且擔任伴郎. 二十多桌喜宴, 竟然鴉雀無聲, 有如喪家之犬. 這是集體失去信心的表現. 當時我的腦袋一片空白. 之後是舖天篕地的宣傳, 開展自強運動. 對當時台灣的民心士氣有很大的幫助. 所謂自強運動就是恢復信心的過程. 信心需要靠行動. 所謂正面積極的信心, 就是從信仰, 得到信心, 從而展開積極正面的行動.
Positive Faith – 1 John 5:4 [For whoever is born of God overcomes the world. It is our faith that overcomes the world.] Our faith is our faith in Christ through faith Unite and take His victorious life. What is your first reaction when difficulties hit your life? Don’t be trapped or be too optimistic, but carefully evaluate and make the most thoughtful arrangements. This is the performance of confidence. In fact, many difficulties are like a layer of cellophane. You pierce this layer of cellophane. Pretty much the same. There is a character in the Bible called Paul. He once wrote in the Bible [We are surrounded by enemies on every side, but we are not trapped, and we are troubled, but we are not disappointed.] 2 Corinthians 4:8. Paul is a A great fighter who suffered many persecutions, but he was not defeated by circumstances. In this passage we see that Paul did not deny that he was attacked on all sides, but was not defeated by negative circumstances. It is true that there are problems, but not Focus on the problem. This is positive confidence. Dear friends, confidence is not an ostrich mentality, saying that I do not see difficulties, but admit that there are difficulties, and I am willing to face the challenges head-on after correctly understanding and assessing the difficulties. True faith. God is the source of all our faith. Paul believed in God that he was not stuck in trouble. There must be a way out in God. Today, God is coming to encourage you so that you can receive a Come to real faith. To be able to overcome unexpected challenges. And God will give you the strength to overcome all difficulties. Create for yourself a victorious life you never thought possible. Breaking off diplomatic relations, withdrawing troops, breaking contracts. It was like a bolt from the blue. I was attending the wedding banquet of my classmates and friends that day, and I was the best man. There were more than 20 tables of wedding banquets, and it was silent, like a lost dog. This is a collective loss of confidence. It was followed by overwhelming propaganda and a self-improvement campaign. It was of great help to the morale of the people in Taiwan at that time. The so-called self-improvement campaign was a process of restoring confidence. Confidence requires action. Gain the confidence to take positive action.
