Many recently asked me questions concerning 𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 and 𝘀𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴. Aren’t they mutually exclusive, that you can only have one or the other? I have always believed that God is a good God who blesses. At the same time, I also believe that a godly life is a life of suffering. Many Christians can’t handle both blessing and suffering at the same time. Just like how they struggle to balance truth and love, or faith and the sovereignty of God, or the “already” and “not yet”. They either imagine a life of endless blessing and favour that has no trial, testing or tribulation, or a life of endless suffering in which there will be no supernatural healing, deliverance or provision. As long as we live in this present age, blessing and suffering will always go together. If we can’t accept this, we will end up being either 𝗵𝘆𝗽𝗲𝗿-𝗳𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 (only blessing, no suffering) or 𝗵𝘆𝗽𝗲𝗿-𝘀𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘁𝘆 (only suffering, no blessing). Both extremes are wrong! In our blessing, ...

 Genesis 1:1–2:3 A literal-literary translation by Tim Mackie 1:1In the beginning, Elohim created the skies and the land, 2 now, the land was wild and waste and darkness was over the face of the watery deep but the breath/wind of Elohim was hovering over the face of the waters ——— 3and Elohim said, “Let there be light” and there was light. 4 and Elohim saw that the light was good; and Elohim separated the light from the darkness. 5 and Elohim called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” and there was evening and there was morning, one day. ——— 6 and Elohim said, “Let there be a dome in the middle of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7 and Elohim made the dome, and he separated the waters which were below the dome from the waters which were above the dome; and it was so. 8 and Elohim called the dome “skies”. and there was evening and there was morning, a second day. ——— 9 and Elohim said, “Let the waters below the skies ...

It is not enough to be 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱, we must also be 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱. Without God’s anointing, all we have, at best, are merely words and good intentions. There is no power to overcome Satan and to transform lives. We must fervently seek after God’s anointing. I love meditating on Is 11:2 because it teaches us the 7 anointings of the Holy Spirit that are upon Jesus: (1) The Spirit of the Lord. (2) The Spirit of wisdom. (3) The Spirit of understanding. (4) The Spirit of counsel. (5) The Spirit of might. (6) The Spirit of knowledge. (7) The Spirit of the fear of the Lord. The benefits of these 7 anointings are 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆, 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹, and 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. Without the anointing, our ministry is dry and dull. There is no demonstration of the Spirit and power (1 Cor 2:4). There is no touch of God in all that we do. To seek after the anointing, we need a genuine spiritual ...

 羅馬書 心得總結:保羅完整陳述福音 書信背景 保羅寫書給羅馬教會的原因，羅馬教會當時回來一批猶太基督徒（革老丟王五年前驅猶太人出羅馬），這批猶太基督徒回來就和外邦基督徒起了衝突，因為猶太基督徒認為外邦基督徒不守律法是褻瀆神。當教會起了衝突一切就停擺了，保羅原本是計劃羅馬教會成為宣教平台，使福音傳到西班牙（當時的航海，認為是地極）。 主要核心在一到四章 耶穌的生、死、復活。 五章十二章 即展開核心 1.老亞當，透過耶穌成新亞當，人性改變。 2.以色列人，神有獨特計劃。 3.合一，透過＂愛＂。 以上

As Christians, there are 4 terms we often hear about but we may not be too clear what they actually mean: ⠀ The first is “𝗦𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗣𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘”, which means “that which is written”. For us Christians, the Scripture is synonymous to the Holy Bible – the Word of God (e.g., Lk 24:27, 32, 45). The second is “𝗚𝗢𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗟”, which means “good news”. When it is spelled with a capital “G”, it means the 4 Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. When spelled with a small “g”, it refers to the New Testament in its entirety (e.g., Rom 1:1, 9, 16; 2 Tim 1:8). The third is “𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗢𝗟𝗢𝗚𝗬”, which means the “study of God”. Theologians are those whose occupation is to study God. The fourth is “𝗗𝗢𝗖𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗘”, which is the 𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 (cf. 2 Tim 3:16). This is the reason why there are different churches and denominations because our best understanding of the Bible may vary from each other. While...
