The End of 2011
I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star. … You crown the year with Your goodness, and Your paths drip with abundance.
Revelation 22:16-17; Psalm 65:11
Look back! See all the wonderful things the Lord has done. Add up all the blessings and you will be deeply awed. Of course problems, attacks and disappointments have occurred during the year. Of course there are areas where you have failed or where you have fallen. Welcome to humanity! But you live, breathe and, most of all, believe in Jesus. And He believes in you. Look ahead! Place the sins under the blood of Jesus. Place the disappointments there, too. Forgive everyone who has wronged you. Ask for forgiveness, and allow God to forgive and forget. Forgive yourself! Do not condemn yourself anymore, and remember that the Bible says chagrin rests in the bosom of fools (Swedish translation).
Stand up, come to the Lord and expect His goodness. A new year is waiting; it is a year of new grace and new possibilities. You will have new experiences, you will meet new people and you will see the Lord perform more miracles. You will be more sensitive and obedient to the guidance of the Spirit. Listen to Him now this final day of the year and you will hear what He is saying to the Church. You will hear the voice of the Spirit speaking to your inner man about new plans, new adventures and new possibilities for the expansion of God’s kingdom through you. During the upcoming year, you and the Lord, as covenant partners, will accomplish important, revolutionary and radical things that will be of great importance for people’s lives and salvation. Let God take you by the hand, and get started! A wonderful adventure with God is waiting for you.
PRAYER
Lord Jesus Christ, I am entering the new year with You. Thank You for the adventure that awaits. It will be wonderful to follow and serve You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

No shadow of Death
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
Psalm 23:4
The Bible contains many accounts of trials endured by God’s people There are accounts of miraculous rescues, of blessing and protection. David does not refer to the valley of death but the valley of the shadow of death. When death casts its shadow, we easily become paralyzed. But the Lord is there with His staff, and it comforts us.
The staff represents guidance, authority and protection. The shepherd led his flock with his staff; it gave him authority. With his staff he resisted wolves and bears and protected the sheep. The Lord’s staff comforts us in difficult situations. His comfort enables us to pass through the valleys and carry on. We must go forward, beyond our present situation. Even if we feel the chill of the valley of the shadow of death, we must remember that a shadow is not reality.
Remember that you are on your way, and when the Lord leads you, He helps you out of the valley and keeps you moving forward. Focus on the future. Expect green pastures and fresh water ahead, and realize it is the Lord’s desire and His good will to lead you there. He leads you there, not only to satisfy you, but also so you can pass His life on to others. Everything He does for you, He wants you to pass on to others. When you do, you will be refreshed and blessed and you will receive all the help you need.
PRAYER
Thank You, Lord, that You are with me in every situation. The only thing that is certain is that everything changes. And with You, change is always for the better. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Lord is my Shepherd
Psalm 23:1-3
The year is coming to a close. It has been a good year, and the Lord crowns the year with His goodness. A new year is waiting. How will it be? It depends who is allowed to decide. If the Lord is allowed to be your shepherd, if He is allowed to lead you, you will have a wonderful year. You will lack nothing. The shepherd carefully watches over His sheep. He teaches them to listen to His voice. He calls them to Himself. He searches for them if they get lost. It is His responsibility to ensure the sheep lack nothing. Sheep require protection, rest, food and water. Sheep need refreshing and guidance. The Lord offers all these things to those who allow Him to be their shepherd.
Will you sincerely allow Him to be your shepherd during the upcoming year? Will you allow Him to determine the route, the pace, the content and the company for your journey? If you allow Him to do this, you will experience His compassion, love and care like never before. No one else can lead as He can. No one else can help as He can. No one else can refresh as He can. Allow the Lord to be your shepherd, not only for the year to come but also for your whole life. His guidance will help you avoid many crises in life. Allow Him to satisfy you with His goodness and you will be strengthened, happy and free. Allow the Lord to lead you on paths of truth and righteousness and His name will be glorified, and your life filled with purpose.
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, be my shepherd, and lead me on paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake. Then everything else in my life will fall into place. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

This Christmas - in the fullness of time
But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son
Galatians 4:4-6
God has a time for everything. Consider a row of pots to be filled with water. When one pot is full, it is put aside and a new one is brought forth. When the time is ripe for God to intervene, the old is pushed aside to allow God’s carefully prepared plan to unfold. When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son. Before the fullness of time, there was a long period of preparation. This period went all the way back to Adam and Eve, when God promised that the seed of Eve would trample the head of the serpent (Genesis 3:15).
This seed was Abraham’s seed, promised by God. This seed was also David’s son, from the tribe of Judah. The prophets spoke of Him. He’s both the glorious king who establishes the throne of David and the suffering servant of the Lord who would take our sins and sicknesses and die in our place. He would be born in Bethlehem. He would ride into Jerusalem on a donkey. He would be the Son of Man who would inherit an eternal kingdom where God cares for His people.
One prophet after another presents different aspects of the person, role and arrival of the Messiah. Isaiah says He would be born of a virgin. Hosea says He would flee to Egypt. Psalm 110 says He would be a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek. Once the prophetic picture of the Old Testament is complete, the prophets are silent. For several hundred years there was a period of social, cultural and political preparation, completed at the time when Augustus was Caesar, Quirinius was governor over Syria, and Herod was king in Judea. Finally the long period of preparation was over, and God sent His Son. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, when You want to do something exceptional, You carefully prepare. Thank You that You do everything at the right time, and when You give, You give the absolute best. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

To the ends of the earth
Indeed He says, “It is too small a thing that You should be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You as a light to the Gentiles, that You should be my salvation to the ends of the earth.
Isaiah 49:6
When Paul preached the gospel for the Gentiles in Antioch, Pisidia, he quoted this verse from Isaiah. In Acts 13:47 he says, “For so the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ” The promise in Isaiah 49:6 not only assures that the Messiah will restore Israel, but it also ensures that the light of His glory will reach all the Gentiles, to the ends of the earth.
This promise was not fulfilled until Jesus came. In the Scriptures Paul immediately saw that this was God’s heart for all people, not only for a single nation. Paul understood that this promise pertained to the Messiah, but he also understood that it concerned him, as well. “For so the Lord has commanded us.” Through us the Messiah will reach the ends of the earth. This means that we need to reach all people, in every nation, to the ends of the earth.
We cannot settle for less. Someone once said, “Why should we in this society hear the gospel twice when there are people who have not even heard it once?” Jesus came from heaven, sent as an ambassador, as a missionary, as an apostle, which means sent one, because He wanted to send us. Where does He want to send us? To no less than the entire world. He wants to send us to every culture, not just one. “It is too small a thing that You should be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob.” Too often we settle for less, but God has much more for us. The whole world belongs to us.
PRAYER
Thank You, Lord, that You came so the light could reach the whole world. Use me to spread the light to more people in more places than ever before. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

New Things waiting for me
Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them. … Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you no
Isaiah 42:9; 43:18-19
When the Lord speaks to us about the future, we can be sure that what He says will come to pass. His wonderful plans are greater than what we are capable of imagining. He continually leads us into new adventures. When something He has spoken is about to be fulfilled, He prepares for the next step. When we are in the middle of a task, it seems fresh and wonderful. But as the task nears its end, it can seem as though we have entered another season.
It is like the first day of fall after the summer. The day is clear and beautiful, but the wind is cooler. This does not mean failure or that we have missed God but just that a new season is coming. Something new is on its way. We do not always understand this, which is why the Lord asks, “Shall you not know it?” (43:19).
In these times of change and reversal, we need to be keenly sensitive to the Spirit so we are aware of what is happening. We often keep going without noticing the swing in the road. We often instinctively hold on to the old and familiar. This is why the Lord shows us new things. He makes us fix our thoughts, our enthusiasm and our commitment on that which He has revealed. His Word, revealed to us, is the new vision. It gives new life to our inner man, providing new fuel so we can run toward all the new things the Lord wants to accomplish in the future.
PRAYER
Thank you, Lord, for everything You have done. Thank You for the new things that await me. Those things will be even greater. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

February Lesson

八种没有结果的感情( 康 希牧师 )
一、你在乎对方比较多
你在谈恋爱,却不确定对方的想法;你觉得你们很合适,他好象不以为然;他不在时你很想他,你不在时他好象没差别,这表示什么?
「二人若不同心,岂能同行呢?」(阿摩司书三章3节)有时候会有一方爱另一方较多的情形,若是在健全的感情中,会有交替的现象,两人轮流扮演追求和被追 求的角色;但如果有一方总是扮演追求者,这样的感情不健全,长久下去,你会对爱饥渴,你会觉得受对方控制,你会感到愤怒、受骗、痛苦。
二、你爱的是对方的潜力
你爱的是对方的潜力,而不是对方真正的样子,你爱的是对方未来可能的样子,那他根本不是你的伴侣,而是你改造的对象。
我们每次作婚前辅导都会问,如果对方五十年内都不会改变,你会满意吗?如果你一直希望能改变对方,才觉得比较满意,那就不是爱,而是赌博,用双方的快乐当作赌注。
你跟一个人交往时,要爱和尊重对方的本相,而不是他未来的样子,你可以期望他继续成长,但你必须满意他现在的样子。
三、你想要帮助对方
你常觉得对方很可怜吗?你觉得自己有责任帮助对方振作起来吗?你会不会害怕如果离开对方,他会受不了打击?如果是,你恐怕是个「救难狂」。
「救难狂」不会去找一个合适的对象,而是找一个他所同情、可以帮助的对象。找一个受过创伤、脆弱、依赖、不被爱、委屈的人,你由怜生爱,他会对你心生感激,这样的感情像是一项救援任务,而不是健全、平衡的感情。
所以我们不鼓励弟兄辅导姐妹,或者姐妹辅导弟兄,因为有七成的人会由怜生爱。担任救援任务的人,往往是把同情误以为爱。
这里要牢记的关键是「尊重」,你爱的对象必须是你能够尊重的人,你必须以对方为荣,你的伴侣不要你的救援,而是要你真正了解他。
四、把对方当作崇拜的对象
年轻的女明星爱上导演、大学生爱上教授、秘书爱上老板...,爱上所崇拜的对象,这种感情很难维持正常,因为两人之间无法平等对待。
男女双方必须要平等对待,我不是指地位,而是态度,不能过度崇拜对方。会爱上所崇拜对象的人,通常自信心低落,他们觉得自己很糟糕。
耶稣说:你们要爱人如己,你若不能爱自己,怎么去爱别人?如果你过度崇拜对方,这种感情不会有结果。
五、你只是被对方外表吸引
每个人都会这样,对吗?如果你发现自己被对方的某个特质深深吸引,要问自己,若对方没有那双蓝色的大眼睛、磁性的声音...,若对方不是模特儿、不会打 篮球...,我还会跟他(她)在一起吗?「艳丽是虚假的,美容是虚浮的;惟敬畏耶和华的妇女,必得称赞。」(箴卅一:30)
六、短暂朝夕相处的机会
你和对方分担某个工作,常常要一起加班,于是你觉得爱上了对方...。你去度假三周,认识一个也来度假的男人,你觉得好象坠入情网...。短暂的朝夕相处,是指在特殊情况下凑在一块,并不是常轨,这种感情不能持久,因为短时间的朝夕相处,无法使你完全了解对方的个性。
七、为了叛逆才选择这对象
父母老是跟你强调,要找个有钱的对象,偏偏你每个男朋友都是穷光蛋;从小父母就对你管教严格,偏偏你每个女朋友都很随便;从小父亲就耳提面命,传香火是最重要的事,偏偏你的女朋友不是不能生,就是不想生...。
如果你所选的对象,老是令父母生气,很可能你只是想叛逆,你觉得一定要证明什么来反击,当你不能控制自己的选择,你并不是真心爱对方,这段感情注定没有结果。
八、对方不是自由身
我把这点留到最后,是因为这根本不能算是感情。选择终身伴侣的第一个前提是-对方是「自由身」。
「自由身」就是可以自由和你交往,没有结婚、没有订婚、没有固定的交往对象、没有和别人上床、单身,只和你交往的人。
如果你爱上的那个男人答应会早点和另一个女人分手;或是他说他不爱那个女人,他爱的是你;或是他原来的对象接受你的存在,他们不打算分手,但他想跟你在一起一阵子;或是他刚分手,但可能破镜重圆...,这些都不是自由身。
别和已婚或有对象的人交往,不管是什么借口,结果都一样,你注定要心碎。别忘了,你只是接收了另一个人用剩的部分。

When temptation comes, make prayer your first response. When you do, you’re letting God have control of the situation. You can’t defeat bad habits in your own strength. Ask God for His strength. We’re all going to face temptation, but God always provides a way out.
