戰勝魔鬼的方法—-馬太福音12:20[壓傷的蘆葦, 他不折斷. 將殘的燈火, 他不吹滅. 等他施行公理, 叫公理得勝.](1)撒旦會扭曲你的心靈, 神兒女要拒絕仇恨—-羅馬書12:17-18[不要以惡報惡, 眾人以為美的, 要留心去做. 若是能行, 總要盡力與眾人和睦.]當我們懷有仇恨時, 就像在心中埋下一顆毒瘤. 不但傷害自己, 也會影響身邊的人. 曼德拉” 仇恨不是天生的, 而是人為的. 如果我們學會仇恨, 那麽我們也可以學會去愛和包容.” (2) 撒但會利用別人的優點打擊你, 神兒女要拒絕自卑—-哥林多前書6:20[因為你們是重價買來的, 所以要在你們的身子上榮耀神.]我們不再需要用外在的事物來衡量自己的價值. 因為在神的眼中, 每個人都是獨一無二並且同樣寶貴的. Lizzie”永遠不要忘記, 內在才是決定你美與否, 而不是你的外表.” 當自卑感找到你的時候, 記得向上帝支取拒絕自卑的勇氣, 學會接受自己的不足. 同時也欣賞自己的特質. 這樣的你不僅充滿魅力, 同時也榮耀了上帝. (3)撒旦會用未知的境遇嚇唬你, 神兒女要拒絕憂慮—-馬太6:25[不要為生命憂慮吃甚麽, 喝甚麽, 為身體憂慮穿甚麽. 生命不勝於飲食嗎?身體不勝於衣裳嗎?你們哪一個能用思慮, 使壽數多加一刻呢?…你們需用的這一切東西, 你們天父是知道的.]憂慮往往是對未來的不確定. 然而神兒女要知道未來是屬於上帝的. 神知道你的需要, 並且他是供應你的那位天父. Corrie”當我們擔心未來, 我們失去了今天. 當我們擔心生命, 我們失去了活著的快樂. 信任上帝, 讓祂照顧你. 祂永遠不會讓你在祂手心之外.” (4)撒旦會用他人的過錯損害你, 神兒女要拒絕憤怒—-詩篇37:1,8不要為那作惡的心懷不平. 當止住怒氣, 離棄念怒. 不要心懷不平. 以致作惡. 因為作惡的, 必被剪除. 惟有等候耶和華的, 必承受地土.]”憤怒是一種危險的麻醉劑, 它會令人失去判斷力.” 魔鬼慣用的伎倆就是透過話語, 事件來激怒人. (5)撒旦會引誘你犯錯來控制你, 神兒女要拒絕衝動—-哥林多前書9:27[攻克己身, 叫身服我.]就是要神兒女在日常生活中操練自己. 延遲享受的心志. 三思而後行. 衝動行事的後果往往會犯下大錯. 柏拉圖”智者總是掌控自己的情感, 愚者總是被情感掌控.” 所謂隨心所欲, 終失本我. 要懂得控制慾望, 才能掌握人生. (6)撒旦會用過往不好的經歷來摧毀你, 神兒女要拒絕懊悔—-以賽亞書43:25[惟有我為自己的緣故塗抹你的過犯, 我也不紀念你的罪惡.]上帝不會因為我們的過失而不斷譴責. 相反, 他給予神兒女們悔改和重生的機會. 因此, 我們可通過承認自己的錯誤. 學會放下和寛恕自己. 同時汲取教訓, 不再重蹈覆轍, 來克服懊悔的困擾, 重新走回神預備的美好路徑. “犯過錯並不等於不可重生, 只要你不讓自己沈迷於自責和懊悔之中, 你依然可重新𨳊始.” (7) 撒旦會欺騙你遠離神而墮落, 神兒女要拒絕驕傲—-詩篇138:6[耶和華雖高, 仍看顧低微的人. 他卻從遠處看出驕傲的人.]意思是上帝看重謙卑而阻擋驕傲的人. 奧古斯丁”驕傲是所有罪惡的根源.” 驕傲不僅是自大高傲的態度, 更是使人倚靠自己, 以自我為中心. 這樣的心態會讓人墮落. 謙卑不僅是態度上的柔和, 更是凡事交託仰望上帝, 讓神做你生命的主宰. 時刻警惕自己拒絕驕傲, 學會謙遜的看待自己與他人. 將上帝放在第一位, 信靠祂的一切. 這樣我們便可識破撒旦的詭計, 勝過魔鬼的誘惑. 親愛的天父, 感謝你今天再次賜給我們生命. 讓我們有機會來到你的面前, 向你敬拜和祈禱. 父神, 我們向祢宣告:我們必能成功破除撒旦一切的詭計和陰謀. 幫助我們拒絕仇恨, 自卑, 憂慮, 憤, 衝動和懊悔. 讓我們靠著你的恩典, 成為擁有智慧, 堅定信仰的人, 勝過魔鬼的試探. 求聖靈引導我們的心. 更深入地認識你, 愛你, 信靠你, 遵行你的旨意. 求潔淨我們的心思意念. 在這個世界行走, 不被惡者的詭計所迷惑. 也不受肉體的慾望所奴役. 求保守我們的靈性敏銳, 時刻警醒, 行你所喜悅的事. 求天父幫助我們在人生的旅程中, 學會愛, 學會寛恕, 學會冷靜, 學會謙卑. 成為屬乎你心意的兒女. 求主保守我們走在你的道路上, 直到永遠. 奉耶穌基督的名禱告, 阿們!
Ways to Defeat the Devil – Matthew 12:20 [A bruised reed he will not break; a fading wick he will not quench; wait for him to execute justice and let justice prevail.] (1) Satan will twist you In the heart, children of God must reject hatred – Romans 12:17-18 [Do not repay evil with evil, but do what is good in the sight of everyone. If it is possible, as far as possible, live at peace with everyone.] When we harbor hatred Sometimes, it’s like planting a cancer in your heart. It not only hurts yourself, but also affects the people around you. Mandela” Hatred is not born, but man-made. If we learn to hate, then we can also learn to love and Tolerance.” (2) Satan will use the good qualities of others to attack you, but children of God must refuse to humble themselves—1 Corinthians 6:20 [For you were bought with a price, so glorify God in your body .] We no longer need to use external things to measure our worth. Because in the eyes of God, everyone is unique and equally precious. Lizzie” Never forget that it is what determines your beauty, not your beauty. Your appearance.” When feelings of inferiority find you, remember to ask God for the courage to refuse to feel inferior, and learn to accept your shortcomings. At the same time, you also appreciate your own characteristics. In this way, you are not only charming, but also glorify God. (3 ) Satan will scare you with unknown situations, and children of God must refuse to worry – Matthew 6:25 [Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food? Is not the body more valuable than clothes? Which of you can add an extra moment to your life by thinking? …your heavenly Father knows your need for all these things.] Anxiety is often uncertainty about the future. However, God’s children need to know that the future belongs to God. God knows your needs, and He is the one who provides for you. Heavenly Father. Corrie “When we worry about the future, we lose today. When we worry about life, we lose the joy of living. Trust God and let Him take care of you. He will never let you out of His hand.” ( 4) Satan will use the faults of others to harm you. Children of God must reject anger – Psalm 37:1,8 Do not be angry because of those who do evil. Quit your anger and turn away from your anger. Do not be angry so that you do evil. Because you do evil. will be cut off. But those who wait for the Lord will inherit the earth.] “Anger is a dangerous narcotic that makes people lose their judgment.” The devil’s usual tactic is to provoke people through words and events. ( 5) Satan will tempt you to make mistakes to control you. Children of God must reject impulse – 1 Corinthians 9:27 [Subject your body and make it subject to me.] This means that children of God must train themselves in daily life. Delay enjoyment Think twice before acting. The consequences of impulsive actions often lead to big mistakes. Plato “A wise man always controls his emotions, and a fool is always controlled by his emotions.” The so-called doing whatever you want will eventually lose you. You must know how to control desires, in order to Take control of life. (6) Satan will use bad experiences in the past to destroy you, and children of God must refuse to repent – Isaiah 43:25 [But I will blot out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember you. God does not continually condemn us for our mistakes. Instead, He gives God’s children the opportunity to repent and be reborn. Therefore, we can learn to let go and forgive ourselves by admitting our mistakes. At the same time, we can learn lessons and never do it again. Repeat the same mistakes to overcome the troubles of regret and return to the beautiful path prepared by God. “Making mistakes does not mean that you cannot be reborn. As long as you don’t let yourself indulge in self-blame and regret, you can still start over.” (7 ) Satan will deceive you into falling away from God and falling away. Children of God must reject pride – Psalm 138:6 [Though the Lord is high, he still looks at the lowly. But from afar he sees the proud.] It means that God values humility and Stop those who are proud. Augustine “Pride is the root of all sin.” Pride is not only an attitude of arrogance, but also makes people rely on themselves and become self-centered. Such an attitude will make people fall. Humility is not only an attitude. Being meek means trusting God in everything and letting God be the master of your life. Always be alert to reject pride and learn to view yourself and others with humility. Put God first and trust Him in everything. This way we can See through Satan’s schemes and overcome the devil’s temptations. Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for giving us life again today. Give us the opportunity to come before you, worship and pray to you. Father God, we declare to you: We will be able to successfully break through all the tricks and plots of Satan. Help us to reject hatred, inferiority, worry, anger, impulse and regret. Let us rely on your grace to become people with wisdom and firm faith, and overcome the temptations of the devil. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide our hearts. Let us know you more deeply, love you, trust you, and do your will. Please purify our hearts and minds. When we walk in this world, we will not be deceived by the tricks of the evil one. Nor will we be deceived by the flesh. We are enslaved by our desires. Please keep us spiritually sharp, always alert, and do the things that please You. May Heavenly Father help us learn to love, learn to forgive, learn to be calm, and learn to be humble in the journey of life. Become according to Your heart Children of God. May the Lord keep us walking in your ways forever. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
