「悔改有三方面」

我們繼續專注在曠野的課題上。悔改是你在經歷曠野時一個很重要的部分,今天就讓我們對這課題能有更新的認識。

恰克.皮爾斯

要尋找那帶著改變信息走在你前面的人。不要一直在曠野中穿越前進,卻不知道你為何在曠野、以及正被何事所試煉。約翰一直在傳講一個特定的信息,那就是他被稱為施洗者(the Baptist)的原因,他一直在傳講悔改的信息。悔改的意思就是「改變你的心」,如果我們改變我們的心,我們就能攻佔新的領土。

悔改有三個方面。第一個是悔改採取一個理智上的轉變,也就是你的頭腦必須轉變。你必須說,「我相信這一點,但這裡有另一個例子是我必須去選擇的。」你看見這理論提出,而你必須作出這個正確的選擇。你在理智上了解你所聽到的,是對你的生命是一個正確的方向。我們必須切記:「原來體貼肉體的,就是與神為仇;」(羅馬書8:7)。

悔改的第二個層面是,當你的情感突然間必須放掉一些老問題,就是那些問題使你無法真正抓住這新的模式,通常這就是很多人還沒有悔改的地方。我們的情感一直被過去所捆綁、受制於我們所經營的方式、與我們一起經營的人、以及我們在先前的情況為何會有的問題。如果我們沒有讓主來觸摸與改變我們的情感,我們就沒有真正地完全悔改,我們的靈將停留在焦慮與惱怒之中。我們總是與一定的情感在生活著,而那卻使我們無法看清我們的未來,所以你在過去的情感必須被醫治、來轉變進入你的未來。

悔改的第三個部分是必須有一個意志行動〔決心〕,這種意志行動能生出你真實的悔改。施洗約翰引人到曠野去,他們的身份地位與教養不成問題,他們的富有與貧窮也不是問題,因為我們發現,稅吏出來了,官兵也出來了。人們沒有忘記他們有一個「妥拉」(Torah),相反的,他們沒有在「妥拉」中看出真實,就是在行使出神的話語上缺乏真實。大部分的復興都具有一個曠野季節悔改的特性,那是因為我們已經離「神話語的真實」如此地遠,所以我們正用一種新的方式承認說,「我的神啊,我們怎麼偏離了這麼遠?」。

Day 43 of 100 Days: “Repentance Has Three Dimensions” Read: Rom. 8

Chuck Pierce 寫於 2011年11月9日 0:06

 We are still focusing on the wilderness. Repentance is an important part of your wilderness experience. Let us get a new understanding of this today.

Chuck D. Pierce

 

 

     Look for those who are going before you with a message of change. Don’t keep advancing through the wilderness without knowing why you’re in that wilderness and what is being tested. John was preaching a certain message. That’s why he’s calledthe Baptist. He was preaching repentance. To repent means “to change your mind.” If we change our mind, we can take new land.

 

     Repentance has three dimensions. First, repentance takes an intellectual shift. Your brain has to shift. You have to say, “I believe this, but here is another paradigm that I’m having to choose.” You see the theory presented, and you have to make the choice that this is right. You understand in your intellect that what you have heard is a correct direction for your life. We must remember “the carnal mind is enmity against God” (Rom. 8:7).

 

     The next level of repentance comes when all of a sudden your emotions have to let go of some old issues that would keep you from really grabbing hold of this new paradigmThis is usually where a lot of people never repent. Our emotions stay tied to the past, tied to the way we operate, whom we operate with, and why we had problems in a previous situation. Without allowing the Lord to touch and change our emotions, we really do not fully repent. Our spirit will remain in angst and annoyed. We always live with a measure of emotion that prevents us from seeing our future clearly. You have to be healed in your emotions of the past to shift into your future.

 

     The third component of repentance is that there has to be a will action. The will action produces the reality of your repentance. John the Baptist was drawing people to the wilderness. Their status and upbringing didn’t matter. Their wealth or poverty was not an issue. We find that publicans came out. Soldiers came out. The people had not forgotten that there was a Torah. Rather, they did not see a reality in the Torah; there was no reality in the operation of the Word. Most revivals take on this character of a wilderness-season repentance because we have gotten so far from the reality of the Word. We’re acknowledging the Word in a new way by saying, “O my God, how did we drift so far from it?”
