第十六天： 2011年10月13日(Tishrei 15, 5772)
閱讀：以弗所書1:3-6
「天堂打開」
我在追求神的事上被操練著，設法在讀神的話語和敬拜神上能時間一致。當我在休士頓市區工作時，有幾天我必須從市區北邊的家坐公車去上班。有天早上起床後，我從早上五點到六點敬拜神，被神的同在所充滿，然後我準備趕搭早上七點的公車，在上班的途中我開始讀以弗所書，一開始便翻到以弗所書1:3-6：
「願頌讚歸與我們主耶穌基督的父神！他在基督裡曾賜給我們天上各樣屬靈的福氣：就如神從創立世界以前，在基督裡揀選了我們，使我們在他面前成為聖潔，無有瑕疵；又因愛我們，就按著自己意旨所喜悅的，預定我們藉著耶穌基督得兒子的名分，使他榮耀的恩典得著稱讚；這恩典是他在愛子裡所賜給我們的。」
我開始稱頌感謝神在創立世界以前揀擇我，那時天堂就打開了，我能看到上帝為我預備的所有未來的祝福，我也能看見在我之前的世代從未領受到的祝福就在那裡，而神所要賜給我孩子的祝福就要來臨。突然神開始將信心注入我的靈裡，就好像有一個漏斗從天堂延伸進公車裡。
因此我情不自禁地呼喊：「哈利路亞！」在我身旁的人看起來很吃驚，我心想他們當然會。
Day 16 of 100 Days: "The Heavens Open" Read: Ephesians 1:3-6

I am disciplined in my pursuit for God. I try to have consistent time in the Word and worship. When I was working in downtown Houston, some days I would ride the bus to and from my home in the northern part of the city. I had gotten up one morning and worshiped from 5 A.M. to 6 A.M. and was overwhelmed by the presence of God. I then got ready and caught the bus at 7 A.M. On the way to work, I began to read the book of Ephesians. I had just started when I got to Ephesians 1:3-6:
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him be- fore the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
I began to praise and thank the Lord for choosing me before the foundation of earth. The heavens opened. I could see all the future blessings that God had for me. I could also see the blessings that were there for the generations before me that were never taken and the blessings that the Lord had for my children to come. Suddenly the Lord began to pour faith into my spirit—it was as if a funnel extended from heaven right into the bus.
I could not contain myself, so I shouted, “Hallelujah!” Those people around me looked startled. I thought to myself, Surely they can see and feel what I see and feel.I said, “Lord, I am so filled with faith, I do not know what to do.” He said to me, “Give it away to one of those sitting around you.” I asked a lady who was sitting in front of me if she had a need and if I could pray for her. She began to share her problems. I knew then what it meant to pray the prayer of faith.
