Prayer's Wall (August 8, 2007 to August 14, 2007)

重點: 力量何來?

「你們當順著聖靈而行,就不放縱肉體的情慾了。因為情慾和聖靈
相爭,聖靈和情慾相爭,這兩個是彼此相敵,使你們不能做所
願意做的。但你們若被聖靈引導,就不在律法以下。」 (加5:16-18)

「我們若是靠聖靈得生,就當靠聖靈行事。」 (加5:25)

代禱重點:

1. 求神興起更多肢體參與教會事工。
2. 求神賜他們力量使每位參與者都能盡心事奉。
3. 求神祝福參與教會事工者所作的工,使他們有更多機會事奉祢。
4. 求神顯明弟兄姊妹的恩賜,使他們在事奉上更稱心。
5. 求神感動每位參與事奉的弟兄姊妹都知道他們的託負,好在教會中服事。求神讓每位參與事奉的弟兄姊妹知道,他們的能力是從祢而來,而非靠自己。

Keypoint: Where Does Our Strength Come From?

“So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.” (Gal. 5:16-18)

“Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” (Gal. 5:25)

Key Prayer Items:

1. May God raise up more members to serve in the Church.
2. May God give them strength so that each one can serve to the best of her/his ability.
3. May God bless the work of those who serve, so that they will have more opportunities to serve the Lord.
4. May God reveal the gifts of brothers and sisters, so that they will serve in pleasure.
5. May God allow brothers and sisters who serve understand their calling, so that they will serve the Church well.
6. May God allow brothers and sisters who serve understand that their strength comes from the Lord and not from within themselves.

Prayer's Wall (August 1, 2007 to August 7, 2007)

重點: 控制肉體的渴求

「不叫我們遇見試探;救我們脫離兇惡。〔或作脫離惡者〕因為國度、
權柄、榮 耀,全是你的,直到永遠。阿們!」 (太6:13)

「 祂自己既然被試探而受苦,就能搭救被試探的人。」 (來2:18)

「 體貼肉體的,就是死;體貼聖靈的,乃是生命、平安。原來體貼肉體的,
就是與 神為仇;因為不服 神的律法,也是不能服。」 (羅8:6-7)

代禱重點:

1. 求神賜姊妹/弟兄勇敢的心,將福音傳給未信主的男朋友∕女朋友,並使他們能靠著主有美好的見證。

2. 求神保守姊妹/弟兄能謹守自己的心,為祢名、為自己的原故;在戀愛發展期能控制肉體的渴求,使將來的家庭可以誇勝。

3. 主啊!聖經說:「信與不信的原不相配」,求聖靈感動主內肢體明白與未信者談戀愛,神是不會喜悅的。求聖靈憐憫在戀愛中的肢體認真的面對此事。求神感動未信的(丈夫∕妻子)家人接受主,認識我們獨一的真神。我們能靠著主基督,當與家人意見有分歧時,也能控制肉體的情緒,使我們能有和諧的家庭。

Key Point: Control The Urges Of The Flesh

“And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil (or the evil one). For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever, amen.” ( Matt. 6:13)

“Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.” ( Heb. 2:18)

“the mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.” ( Rom. 8:6-7)


Key Prayer Items:

1. May God give brothers and sisters courageous hearts to evangelize their non-believing girlfriends and boyfriends, that their witness will be beautiful when they rely upon God.

2. May God protect the hearts of brothers and sisters, that they will hold steadfast in controlling the desires of the flesh in romance. For your name’s sake and their own sake, so that their future family will boast victorious.

3. O Lord, the Bible says, “Believers and non-believers cannot bear the same yoke.” May the Holy Spirit allow believers to understand that God is displeased when believers and non-believers are involved in romance. May the Holy Spirit have mercy on the believers to be serious about this.

4. May God move the non-believing spouses and family members to know the true God. By the grace of Jesus Christ, when there is dispute with family members, believers can still control their emotions, to achieve a harmonious family life.
