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。」

"天父，求你使我今天活在你的同在中，你一天比一天更喜悦我。

主耶穌，求你使我今天能背起我的十字架去跟隨你。

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。"

今日親親爸父經文: 詩篇 98:1-9; 傳道書 4:1-6:12; 哥林多後書 6:14-7:7; 箴言 22:16

今日主要領受經文:

你們要向耶和華唱新歌！因為他行過奇妙的事；他的右手和聖臂施行救恩。

2 耶和華發明了他的救恩，在列邦人眼前顯出公義；

3 記念他向以色列家所發的慈愛，所憑的信實。地的四極都看見我們神的救恩。

4 全地都要向耶和華歡樂；要發起大聲，歡呼歌頌！

5 要用琴歌頌耶和華，用琴和詩歌的聲音歌頌他！

6 用號和角聲，在大君王耶和華面前歡呼！

7 願海和其中所充滿的澎湃；世界和住在其間的也要發聲。

8 願大水拍手；願諸山在耶和華面前一同歡呼；

9 因為他來要審判遍地。他要按公義審判世界，按公正審判萬民。

詩篇 98:1-9

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詩篇，舊約，新約，及箴言的四段 "親親爸父"經文，親自對你説話。

今日我從主耶穌領受的主題是: 這是你每天高歌讚美主的時候了!

Praise the Lord that He led me to experience a miracle yesterday!

After I led our Monday to Friday 7am to 7:30am Zoom Prayer Meeting, the Holy Spirit led me to count how many "I" are there from Ecclesiastes 1:12-2:26. When I was counting, tears came non-stop and there are 64 times the word "I" , "Me", "Myself", "My" from that 33 verses!

Let's read from 2:1-11 just 11 verses, there are 33 times words of "I", 'Me", "Myself", "My":

I said to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good.” But that also proved to be meaningless. 2 “Laughter,” I said, “is madness. And what does pleasure accomplish?” 3 I tried cheering myself with wine, and embracing folly—my mind still guiding me with wisdom. I wanted to see what was good for people to do under the heavens during the few days of their lives.

4 I undertook great projects: I built houses for myself and planted vineyards. 5 I made gardens and parks and planted all kinds of fruit trees in them. 6 I made reservoirs to water groves of flourishing trees.7 I bought male and female slaves and had other slaves who were born in my house. I also owned more herds and flocks than anyone in Jerusalem before me. 8 I amassed silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and provinces. I acquired male and female singers, and a harem as well—the delights of a man’s heart. 9 I became greater by far than anyone in Jerusalem before me. In all this my wisdom stayed with me.

10 I denied myself nothing my eyes desired;
    I refused my heart no pleasure.
My heart took delight in all my labor,
    and this was the reward for all my toil.
11 Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done
    and what I had toiled to achieve,
everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind;
    nothing was gained under the sun.

Then the Holy Spirit led me to have a research on when did King Solomon wrote Ecclesiastes. According to Ecclesiastes 1: 12:

"I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem."

Solomon used past tense to tell us he was no more king when he wrote Ecclesiastes. According to Commentators, Solomon died in 931BC, Solomon wrote Ecclesiastes around 935 BC to 931 BC, a very short period before he died.

"I" was the awakening message that the Holy Spirit revealed to Solomon before he died. Since God created Adam and Eve, we have the image of God, and all those who are not willing to give back the "lordship" to God take the lordship himself/herself, sit on God's throne to judge other people and never be satisfied because Solomon found out and recorded in 3:11:

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

Until we repent and give back the Lordship to God that we enter into that eternal intimate relationship with God daily, we will never be satisfied because no one can truly satisfy us except God Himself!

今日的詩篇很奇妙，呼喚我們用盡一切聲音及有可能用的樂器去與主創造的大自然讚美主，為甚麼?

因為神來臨了l

他來要作主作王審判這沒有了公義和公正的世界!

當我開始寫今天的博客時，主耶穌吩咐我數一數在9節的詩篇98篇中有多少個 "他", "耶和華", "神"，愈數愈出人意料的喜樂，因為竟然有15個 (英文版18個)!

當我們將 "我"放在前而不是 "主"，"耶和華"，"神"，我們不在 "永生"中享受那永遠與神同在的平安，喜樂!

讓我們在這充滿黑暗、無王管的世代中，每天高歌讚美主，歡迎萬主之主，萬王之王駕到!

親愛的主耶穌,

求你使我們能在這充滿黑暗、無王管的世代中，每天高歌讚美你，歡迎你的𦲷臨，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?
