知罪，認罪，悔改 (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method 轉位靈修法 http://bishopsilas.blogspot.com/2009/08/count-down-5-subject-shifting-devotion.html

1. 求聖靈光照，使你知罪，願意認罪悔改
"親愛的聖靈, 求你光照我心靈的深處, 使我看見我的罪, 我和主耶穌的阻隔,
求你幫助, 奉主耶穌基督名求。阿們。"

2. 透過聖靈的工作, 安靜一刻, 省察自己, 之後祈禱:
「親愛的主耶穌，感謝你為我的罪釘死在十字架上，我願意在你面前承認我的罪（凡聖靈光照到的，請逐一說出），求你用你的寶血赦免我的罪，我願意打開心門讓你作我的救主，求你救贖我，我願意一生跟隨你讓你作我生命的主，求你帶領我。聖靈，求你充滿我，使我得著恩賜及力量去侍奉主、見證主，奉主耶穌基督名求，阿們。」

今日親親親爸父經文連結: http://twa.pastoralcareschool.org/

親親爸父經文: 詩篇 73:1-14; 歷代志上 16:37-18:17; 羅馬書 2:1-24; 箴言 19:8-9

今日主要領受經文:

因為尊重我的，我必重看他；撒母耳記上 2:30

拿單就按這一切話，照這默示告訴大衛。

16 於是大衛王進去，坐在耶和華面前，說：耶和華神啊，我是誰，我的家算甚麼，你竟使我到這地步呢？

17 神啊，這在你眼中還看為小，又應許你僕人的家至於久遠。耶和華神啊，你看顧我好像看顧高貴的人。

18 你加於僕人的尊榮，我還有何言可說呢？因為你知道你的僕人。

19 耶和華啊，你行了這大事，並且顯明出來，是因你僕人的緣故，也是照你的心意。

20 耶和華啊，照我們耳中聽見，沒有可比你的，除你以外再無神。

21 世上有何民能比你的民以色列呢？你神從埃及救贖他們作自己的子民，又在你贖出來的民面前行大而可畏的事，驅逐列邦人，顯出你的大名。

22 你使以色列人作你的子民，直到永遠；你 ─ 耶和華也作他們的神。

23 耶和華啊，你所應許僕人和僕人家的話，求你堅定，直到永遠，照你所說的而行。

24 願你的名永遠堅立，被尊為大，說：萬軍之耶和華是以色列的神，是治理以色列的神。這樣，你僕人大衛的家必在你面前堅立。

25 我的神啊，因你啟示僕人說，我必為你建立家室，所以僕人大膽在你面前祈禱。

26 耶和華啊，惟有你是神，你也應許將這福氣賜給僕人。

27 現在你喜悅賜福與僕人的家，可以永存在你面前。耶和華啊，你已經賜福，還要賜福到永遠。

歷代志上 17:15-27

現在讓你有一個安靜的時刻，給聖靈一個空間，讓主耶穌可以藉着剛才讀過的經文，親自對你説話。

今日我從主耶穌領受的主題是: 尊重我的，我必重看他!

今早主耶穌提醒我祂如何在1982年用當年奧斯卡金像奬最佳電影 "烈火戰車"去呼召我離開香港政府音樂統籌處去讀神學的奇妙引領! 我當年去戲院看了五次!

我現在仍然清楚記得那英國國家隊的一百公尺選手，蘇格蘭宣教士 Eric Liddell 在1924巴黎奧運會因要守安息日，不肯在主日跑一百公尺初賽，在隨團的英國威爾斯王子(英王 King George V 的長子Edward，1936年在父親駕崩後做了短短326日英國皇帝，因堅持要娶一個離婚二次的美國女子Wallis Simpson 而放棄王位，之後被封為溫莎公爵 Duke of Windsor) 和英國國家隊領隊的'警告及壓力下對他説: "王帝是第一的，王子是代表王帝，你敢不聽!" Eric 説: "不是，上帝造王帝出來，上帝第一，王帝第二!"，他堅仍不肯出賽，奇妙地他的隊友讓出四百公尺決賽給他跑，結果他為英國贏得金牌! 今天主很奇妙給我一個很重要的信息，可能就是Eric Liddell 在1924年自己的堅持，使之後在1936年一月做王帝的King Edward VIII 堅持世界著名的一句 "不要江山要美人"，自願放棄王位，英女皇的父親King George VI 沒有機會做皇帝，而英女皇也不會做了七十年王帝!

一位不怕皇權，堅持上帝第一的蘇格蘭宣教士，改寫了英格蘭的歷史!

以下是我在今天博客的英文版節錄的，相信會較傳神一點:

He got a little slip from his opponent a minute before his 400 meters final and he took that in his hand and started his historical and victorious running. The small note was from 1 Samuel 2:30, "Says in the Old Book, 'He that honors me I will honor." I watched that movie five times during the time I had my discernment of whether the call was from God. Every time I was in tears when I saw how Eric opened that note and the letter became so big to me:

He that honors me I will honor.

Then he ran, and the music was on, and then we saw the smile of Eric of his face and we heard he say, "Where does the power come from, it's from within... I believe God made me for a purpose. He also made me fast. When I run, I feel His pleasure. "

Eric Liddell was a Missionary from Scotland who
sacrificed his life to bring Gospel to China and die in concentration camp in China during the 2nd World War. Michelle and I have been in Scotland since two days ago to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary. Wow! I do think this is not a co-incidence and a big gift from Jesus to us to remind us how He has been blessing us since we followed Jesus path and not our path forty years ago!

Last chapter we read how David put his first priority to worship God; then in today's chapter we read how God honored David because David honored Him!

I remembered how angry my father was when I told him that night I made a decision to quit my job in the Hong Kong Government because God called me to prepare myself to become an Anglican priest. It was because I broke his dream of having a son to become a high ranking officer in the Government. That was May 1982 and he did understand God's promise was far better than he could ever think of. I earned many times less than I used to but our whole family is being blessed thousands of times more than we ever thought of. He passed away in 1996 and I know that he is smiling there in heaven, for he now understands:

He that honors me I will honor

May God bless you as you digest what I share and listen to a new call from our Lord Jesus Christ.

May the Holy Spirit fill you and strengthen you now to do His will and not your will.

May the love of our heavenly Father soften your heart so that you are able to love and to be loved.

我祈盼主在今天和你說話，祝福你，正如祂在1982年對我說話一樣!!!

親愛的主耶穌,

感謝祢今天在蘇格蘭愛丁堡這酒店的房間提醒我四十多年來的經歷，使我可以和弟兄姊妹分享，求主使我們能以我們生命一切所有的去尊榮祢，使我們可以領受祢的愛和祢一切為我們美好的預備，奉主耶穌基督名求，阿們。

Eric Henry Liddell (/ˈlɪdəl/; 16 January 1902 – 21 February 1945) was a Scottish sprinter, rugby player and Christian missionary. Born in Tianjin, China to Scottish missionary parents, he attended boarding school near London, spending time when possible with his family in Edinburgh, and afterwards attended the University of Edinburgh.

At the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris, Lidell refused to run in the heats for his favoured 100 metres because they were held on a Sunday. Instead he competed in the 400 metres held on a weekday, a race that he won. He became ordained as a Congregational minister in 1932 and regularly taught bible classes at Morningside Congregational Church, Edinburgh. He returned to China in 1925 and served as a missionary teacher. Aside from two furloughs in Scotland, he remained in China until his death in a Japanese civilian internment camp in 1945.

Liddell's Olympic training and racing, and the religious convictions that influenced him, are depicted in the Oscar-winning 1981 film Chariots of Fire, in which he is portrayed by fellow Scot and University of Edinburgh alumnus Ian Charleson.
