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。」

聖靈，求你在今天充滿我，使你的果子能彰顯在我的生命中: 仁愛，喜樂，和平，忍耐，恩慈，良善，信實，温柔及節制。"

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

親親爸父經文: 詩篇 89:46-52; 以斯帖記 4:1-7:10; 哥林多前書 12:1-26; 箴言 21:21-22

今日主要領受經文:

末底改知道所做的這一切事，就撕裂衣服，穿麻衣，蒙灰塵，在城中行走，痛哭哀號。

2 到了朝門前停住腳步，因為穿麻衣的不可進朝門。

3 王的諭旨所到的各省各處，猶大人大大悲哀，禁食哭泣哀號，穿麻衣躺在灰中的甚多。

4 王后以斯帖的宮女和太監來把這事告訴以斯帖，他甚是憂愁，就送衣服給末底改穿，要他脫下麻衣，他卻不受。

5 以斯帖就把王所派伺候他的一個太監，名叫哈他革召來，吩咐他去見末底改，要知道這是甚麼事，是甚麼緣故。

6 於是哈他革出到朝門前的寬闊處見末底改。

7 末底改將自己所遇的事，並哈曼為滅絕猶大人應許捐入王庫的銀數都告訴了他；

8 又將所抄寫傳遍書珊城要滅絕猶大人的旨意交給哈他革，要給以斯帖看，又要給他說明，並囑咐他進去見王，為本族的人在王面前懇切祈求。

9 哈他革回來，將末底改的話告訴以斯帖；

10 以斯帖就吩咐哈他革去見末底改，說：

11 「王的一切臣僕和各省的人民都知道有一個定例：若不蒙召，擅入內院見王的，無論男女必被治死；除非王向他伸出金杖，不得存活。現在我沒有蒙召進去見王已經三十日了。」

12 人就把以斯帖這話告訴末底改。

13 末底改託人回覆以斯帖說：你莫想在王宮裡強過一切猶大人，得免這禍。

14 此時你若閉口不言，猶大人必從別處得解脫，蒙拯救；你和你父家必致滅亡。焉知你得了王后的位分不是為現今的機會嗎？」

15 以斯帖就吩咐人回報末底改說：

16 「你當去招聚書珊城所有的猶大人，為我禁食三晝三夜，不吃不喝；我和我的宮女也要這樣禁食。然後我違例進去見王，我若死就死吧！」

17 於是末底改照以斯帖一切所吩咐的去行。

以斯帖記 4:1-17

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: 你就是帶頭行動的那人啦!

整個以斯帖記第四章記載了未底改明白他是帶頭行動那人，神要他做甚麼，他就做甚麼，大家細心看看他做了甚麼拯救了整個猶大人民族。

在未底改盡力之後，以斯帖記第四章繼續記載了以斯帖明白他是帶頭行動那人，神要她做甚麼，她就做甚麼，死也不怕，帶來了以後這世界神的子民知道的最勁之屬靈武器及子彈 - 三日的以斯帖禁食，大家細心看看他做了甚麼拯救了整個猶大人民族。

我的第一次以斯帖禁食是1984年4月18日至22日，最近一次是今年1月17日至19日，呼求神在美國羅省十個月沒有一滴雨以至山火燒了幾個城市，八日之後大雨降下，無人能撲滅的山火熄滅了!

請大家看看我在1月16日發給我們所有的大主教，主教，牧師及教會兄姊的緊急呼籲內容:

Dear Archbishops, bishops, Canons, priests, pastors and leaders,

Bishop Page, Bishop David and I received an urgent call to have a Esther Fasting praying for rain, showers of blessings to quench the fire in LA which is not to be able to do with fire departments or any human hands. We claim the anointing of Elijah to be with Christian leaders who received the same call from our Lord Jesus Christ to accomplish this mission:

To fast from your time (no matter from Africa, Malaysia, US , Canada or any country) Friday 12noon to Sunday 6am. The time Jesus on the Cross, Friday around 9am and died around 3pm, and resurrected Sunday morning. There are 17 millions people under unbreathable air, contaminated water and the serious threat of fire devouring cities!

Please invite as many Christians to fast and pray during that 42 hours, your time: Friday 12noon to Sunday 6am!

看看我在1月28日發給他們的信息;

Wow! GOOD NEWS!

Big rain came starting two days ago Sunday, eight days after our three days Esther Fasting from January 17 Friday 12pm to January 19 Sunday 6am. A fasting without food and water to pray for big rain to LA.

God listened to many people fasting and prayer and rain came and keep coming!

Praise the Lord!

LA did not have a drop of rain for ten months!

未底改，以斯帖，她的婢女，所有的猶大人願意三日 "絕對禁食 Absolute Fasting"，回應神的命令，如果是你，你願意嗎?

親愛的主耶穌,

當祢呼召我們去作出超乎我們能力的行動時，幫助我們作出行動去摧毀魔鬼惡者去傷害祢兒女的計劃，奉主耶穌基督名求，阿們。

省察問題

1. 今日的信息對你有何啓發? 主耶穌現在對你説甚麽話?

2. 你的下一步是什麼行動?

家庭角落

找機會與家人一起分享今日的領受。

For those who would like to have some background of the Book of Esther:

After the Babylonian Empire was captured, defeated and replaced by the Persians in 539 B.C., the center of government for the Jewish exiles transferred to Persia. The Babylonians previously had conquered and exiled the Jews throughout their empire. Under the leadership of Cyrus - who issued the initial decree permitting the Jews to return to their homeland - the Persians took control of the empire. The setting for the story of Esther is the Persian capital city of Susa during the reign of King Xerxes I who ruled from 486 - 465 B.C. The book covers the years 483 - 473 B.C. of his reign(1:3; 3:7), with most events occurring in 473 B.C. Esther became queen of persia in 478 B.C. (2:16)

Chronologically, the account of Esther in Persia falls between chapters 6 and 7 in the book of Ezra. That places the events between the first return of Jewish exiles to Jerusalem in 538 B.C. under Zerubbabel (Ezra 1-6) and the second return led by Ezra in 457 B.C. (Ezra 7-10). Though Esther is placed after Nehemiah in our Old Testament, its events actually occurred 30 years before Nehemiah's return to Jerusalem (444 B.C.) to rebuild the wall. While the books of Ezra and Nehemiah address issues involving the Jews who returned to Jerusalem, Esther records a crucial development among the Jews who remained in Persia.

The significance of Queen Esther is seen not only in how she helped save her people from destruction but also in the fact that she brought them security and respect in a foreign land(8: 17; 10:3). Through her actions, God made it possible for Nehemiah to serve as an official in the king's court several decades later and eventually return to Judah as governor to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. If Esther and the Jews (including Nehemiah) had been destroyed in Persia, the troubled Jews back in Jerusalem may never have rebuilt their city and the outcome of Jewish history would have been drastically different.
