你們受聖靈了嗎?你能進天國嗎? 

(2023.3.27/28禱告領受主的話)  

聖靈是祈求來的, 不是相信就有, 必須求聖靈,  是進天國的憑證, 這是的確的, 聖靈可以給你力量, 你的教師, 你隨時的幫助, 我會賜給屬於我的人, 能進入我的國度 

有渴慕得到的心, 就努力迫切的祈求, 讓我知道你是需要我的,  我是看你的心, 我有我的時間 你只管祈求

得到的, 要視祂為至寶, 我喜歡潔淨之地, 你必要常常潔淨自己, 遠離惡事, 我就必與你同住  

必須穿白衣進天國, 受洗後會穿上白衣, 這是進天國必須的, 但生活在世界, 仍然會有撒旦的引誘, 你們跟其他人不同是因為你們得著這白衣, 如果每天沒有潔淨自己, 這白衣也會因著罪而漸漸污穢髒了, 跟世界的人沒有區別, 務必要儆醒 ,不是受洗後就能進天國, 如果衣服髒了也無法進,  為什麼不斷告訴你們要常靈修, 禱告, 要追求真理, 唯有這樣, 才能行義路, 行我眼中為對的, 你才能保持潔白的衣服, 直到那日.

不要像當時我的子民出埃及過紅海後, 有的仍想回到舊的日子, 有的行了惡事, 如果無法”完全”煉淨自己, 脫去是舊的自己, 到不了我所預備之地, 你們現在的日子, 不就同當時的世代一樣嗎? 不要以為這是過往的歷史, 今日的世代跟過去沒有不同, 甚至更甚,  只有不斷反省自己, 日日潔淨,  回轉向我, 晝夜思想我的話, 把我的話成為你們生活的準則, 時刻放在心上, 你們所行的就不會偏差, 有錯誤的, 求我憐憫, 不要再犯罪, 才配得進天國, 我願妳們都能穿著白衣, 到我這. 

洗禮不是儀式, 神同在的, 親自把罪洗淨, 才能穿上白衣, 你們眼睛看不到, 但在靈裏可見.

以說靈言為受聖靈之明證

1.不是信主就受了聖靈

保羅來到以弗所，遇見幾個門徒，「問他們說：你們信的時候，受了聖靈沒有？他們回答說：沒有，也未曾聽見有聖靈賜下來。保羅說：這樣，你們受的是甚麼洗呢？他們說：是約翰的洗。保羅說：約翰所行的是悔改的洗，告訴百姓，當信那在他以後要來的，就是耶穌。他們聽見這話，就奉主耶穌的名受洗。保羅按手在他們頭上，聖靈便降在他們身上；他們就說方言，又說豫言。一共約有十二個人。」（使徒行傳第十九章第1-7節）。以弗所的門徒雖信主耶穌，但因受的是悔改的洗禮，也不知聖靈是甚麼，也不知祈求聖靈，是故無人受聖靈。直到再受奉主名赦罪的洗禮，禱告祈求後，又接受保羅按手禱告，方說方言，而求得聖靈。

2.不是受浸禮就得了聖靈

「使徒在耶路撒冷，聽見撒瑪利亞人領受了神的道，就打發彼得約翰往他們那裏去。兩個人到了，就為他們禱告，要叫他們受聖靈；因為聖靈還沒有降在他們一個人身上；他們只奉主耶穌的名受了洗。於是使徒按手在他們頭上，他們就受了聖靈。」（使徒行傳第八章第14-17節）。撒瑪利亞的信徒，雖奉主名受了洗，但卻未受聖靈，直到彼得約翰按手在他們頭上，他們才受了聖靈，可見不是受浸禮就得了聖靈。

3.不是有善行就有聖靈

「在該撒利亞有一個人，名叫哥尼流，是義大利營的百夫長。他是個虔誠人，他和全家都敬畏神，多多賙濟百姓，常常禱告神。……他們說，百夫長哥尼流是個義人，敬畏神，為猶大通國所稱讚，他蒙一位聖天使指示，叫他請你到他家裡去，聽你的話。彼得就請他們進去。……彼得還說這話的時候，聖靈降在一切聽道的人身上。那些奉割禮和彼得同來的信徒，見聖靈的恩賜也澆灌在外邦人身上，就都希奇；因聽見他們說方言，稱讚神為大。於是保羅說：這些人既受了聖靈，與我們一樣，誰能禁止用水給他們施洗呢？就吩咐奉耶穌基督的名給他們施洗。」（使徒行傳第十章第1、2、22、23、44-48節）。哥尼流行善為通國所稱讚，但彼得未到他家講道之前，他雖敬畏神，賙濟百姓，仍未受聖靈；直到彼得到他家傳揚耶穌基督的救恩後，他才領受聖靈，與其他親友接受洗禮。可見，不是有善行就有聖靈。

4.不是熱心事主就有聖靈

「彼得就對他說：看哪！我們已經撇下所有的跟從你，將來我們要得甚麼呢？」（馬太福音第十九章第27節）。從彼得的話中，可知門徒撇下所有熱心事主的熱忱，然而，他們當時並未受聖靈。直到耶穌升天前，對他們說：「不要離開耶路撒冷，要等候父所應許的，就是你們聽見我說過的。約翰用水施洗，但不多幾日，你們要受聖靈的洗。」（使徒行傳第一章第4、5節）。果真五旬節聖靈大降，他們才同時受聖靈。可見，不是熱心事主就有聖靈。

5.使徒以說靈言為受聖靈的憑據

（1）五旬節那日使徒們的體驗

五旬節到了，門徒都聚集在一處。忽然從天上有響聲下來，好像一陣大風吹過，充滿了他們所坐的屋子。又有舌頭如火燄顯現出來，分開落他們各人頭上。他們就都被聖靈充滿，按著聖靈所賜的口才，說起別國的話來（現代中文譯本：按照聖靈所賜的才能說起別種語言來）。」（使徒行傳第二章第1-5節）。聖靈首次降臨，約有一百二十名耶穌的門徒，都被聖靈充滿，說出別種語言－－聖靈的言語－－靈言（和合譯本譯為說方言）。

（2）哥尼流等人的體驗

「彼得還說這話的時候，聖靈降在一切聽道的人身上。那些奉割禮和彼得同來的信徒，見聖靈的恩賜也澆灌在外邦人身上，就都希奇；因聽見他們說方言，稱讚神為大。」（使徒行傳第十章第44-48節）。之後，彼得上耶路撒冷，亦見證在哥尼流家的經歷：「我一開講，聖靈便降臨在他們身上，正像當初降在我們身上一樣。我就想起主的話說約翰是用水施洗，但你們要受聖靈的洗。」（使徒行傳第十一章第15、16節）。聖靈降在哥尼流家聽道的親友身上，是因聽見他們說方言（靈言）。

（3）以弗所信徒們的體驗

以弗所的信徒，聽見保羅的見證，「就奉主耶穌聖名受洗。保羅按手在他們頭上，聖靈便降在他們身上，他們就說方言（呂振中譯本：捲舌頭說話，又說豫言。一共約有十二個人）（使徒行傳第十九章第5~6節）。當以弗所的信徒受聖靈時，他們就說方言，用捲舌音說話－－說靈言，可見說靈言是受聖靈的憑據。

※說靈言是對神說話，平時沒有人聽得懂。

「說方言的，原不是對人說，乃是對神說；因為沒有人聽出來；然而他在心靈裏，卻是講說各樣的奧秘。……我若用方言禱告，是我的靈禱告；但我的悟性沒有果效。這卻怎麼樣呢？我要用靈禱告，也要用悟性禱告；我要用靈歌唱，也要用悟性歌唱。不然，你用靈祝謝，那在座不通方言的人，既然不明白你的話，怎能在你感謝的時候說阿們呢？」（哥林多前書第十四章第2、14-16節）。可見說靈言是對神說話，平時沒有人聽得懂。

※靈言是有意思的，必要時，神會感動人翻出來。

「聖靈顯在各人身上，是叫人得益處……又叫一人能說方言，又叫一人能翻方言。」（哥林多前書第十二章第7、10節）。可見靈言是有意思的，有時須要有人翻出來。

「弟兄們……你們聚會的時候，各人或有詩歌，或有教訓，或有啟示，或有方言，或有翻出來的話；凡事都當造就人。若有說方言的，只好兩個人，至多三個人，且要輪流著說，也要一個人繙出來；若沒有人繙，就當在會中閉口；只對自己和神說，就是了。」（哥林多前書第十四章第26-28節)。可見，除了個人「用靈言禱告」向神說話以外，還有「用方言講道」來造就會眾，此時用靈言講道，無人能聽懂，須有一位具備「繙方言」恩賜的人在旁邊翻譯，方能讓會眾聽懂而得造就。

五旬節聖靈大降，「那時，有虔誠的猶太人，從天下各國來，住在耶路撒冷。這聲音一響，眾人都來聚集，各人聽見門徒用眾人的鄉談說話，就甚納悶；都驚訝希奇說：看哪！這說話的不都是加利利人麼！我們各人，怎麼聽見他們說我們生來所用的鄉談（僑居地的方言）呢？我們帕提亞人……和亞拉伯人，都聽見他們用我們的鄉談，講說神的大作為。」（使徒行傳第二章第5-11節）。五旬節時，有猶太僑民由十五個地方回來耶路撒冷守節，神開他們的耳朵，讓他們聽到一百二十位門徒受聖靈時說靈言的聲音；本來靈言只對神說時，是沒有人能聽懂的，但神若要開虔誠人的耳朵，就能聽成聽者能懂的語言，而明白他們在講說神的大作為。可見，靈言是有內容的、有意思的，必要時會讓人聽明白。

Have you received the Holy Spirit? Can you enter the kingdom of heaven?

(2023.3.27/28 Pray and accept the words of the Lord)

The Holy Spirit comes by asking, not by believing, you must ask for the Holy Spirit, it is the proof of entering the kingdom of heaven, this is true, the Holy Spirit can give you strength, your teacher, your help at any time, I will give it to those who belong to me, can enter my country

If you have a desire to get something, just pray hard and earnestly, let me know that you need me, I look at your heart, I have my time, just ask

what you have, treasure him, I love a clean place, you must always cleanse yourself from evil, and I will live with you

You must wear white clothes to enter the kingdom of heaven, and you will wear white clothes after you are baptized. This is necessary to enter the kingdom of heaven, but in the world, you will still be tempted by Satan. You are different from others because you have the white clothes. If you do not cleanse yourself every day , the white clothes will gradually become filthy and dirty due to sin. It is no different from people in the world. You must be vigilant. You cannot enter the kingdom of heaven after being baptized. If your clothes are dirty, you cannot enter. Why do I keep telling you to practice spiritually? , pray, to pursue the truth, only in this way can you walk the way of righteousness, do what is right in my eyes, and you can keep your white clothes until that day.

Don’t be like when My people came out of Egypt and crossed the Red Sea. Some still wanted to return to the old days, and some did evil things. If they couldn’t “completely” purify themselves and put off their old self, they Can’t reach the place I prepared , isn’t your present day the same as the generation at that time? Don’t think that this is the history of the past. Today’s generation is no different from the past, or even worse. You only have to constantly reflect on yourself, cleanse yourself every day, and turn to Me , think about my words day and night, make my words the rule of your life, keep them in your heart all the time, your actions will not deviate or make mistakes, please have mercy on me, don’t sin again, and you will be worthy to enter the kingdom of heaven, I wish you All of you can come to me in white.

Baptism is not a ritual, God is present and washes away sin Himself in order to put on white garments, which you cannot see with your eyes, but are visible in the spirit.

Speaking Spiritual Words as Evidence of Receiving the Holy Spirit

1. Receive the Holy Spirit without believing in the Lord

When Paul came to Ephesus, he met some disciples, "asked them, did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? What baptism? They said it was Johns baptism. Paul said, John did the baptism of repentance and told the people to believe in the one who was coming after him, that is Jesus. When they heard this, they worshiped the Lord Jesus And they were baptized in their names. Paul laid his hands on them, and the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. There were about twelve of them." (Acts 19:1-7). Although the disciples in Ephesus believed in the Lord Jesus, because they received the baptism of repentance, they did not know what the Holy Spirit was, nor did they know how to pray for the Holy Spirit, so no one received the Holy Spirit. Until he was baptized in the name of the Lord for the forgiveness of sins, after praying and praying, he accepted Pauls laying on of hands to pray, spoke in tongues, and asked for the Holy Spirit.

2.You dont get the Holy Spirit by being baptized.

"When the apostles were in Jerusalem, when they heard that the Samaritans had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them. When the two men came, they prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit; for the Holy Spirit had not come on any of them. body; and they were baptized only in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then the apostles laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit" (Acts 8:14-17). The believers in Samaria were baptized in the name of the Lord, but they did not receive the Holy Spirit. They did not receive the Holy Spirit until Peter and John laid hands on their heads. It can be seen that one does not receive the Holy Spirit through baptism.

3. The Holy Spirit does not come from good works

"In Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, the centurion of the Italian camp. He was a pious man. He and his whole family feared God, gave alms to the people, and prayed to God often.  … They said, The centurion Cornelius was a righteous man who feared God and was praised by the whole nation of Judah. He was instructed by a holy angel to invite you to his house and listen to your words. Peter invited them in.  …Peter also And as he was saying this, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word. The circumcised believers who came with Peter were amazed to see that the gift of the Holy Spirit had also been poured out on the Gentiles; for they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God Then Paul said, "Who can forbid the baptism of water to these men, who have received the Holy Spirit as we have? Commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ" (Acts 10, verses 1, 2 , 22, 23, 44-48). Cornicopus’ goodness was praised by the whole country, but before Peter came to his house to preach, although he feared God and gave money to the people, he still did not receive the Holy Spirit; it was not until Peter came to his house to preach the salvation of Jesus Christ that he received it Holy Spirit, baptized with other relatives and friends. It can be seen that the Holy Spirit does not come with good works.

4. If you are not zealous in serving the Lord, you will have the Holy Spirit

"Peter said to him: Behold! We have left everything to follow you. What shall we gain?" (Matthew 19:27). From Peters words, it can be seen that the disciples abandoned all zeal for serving the Lord. However, they did not receive the Holy Spirit at that time. Until Jesus ascended to heaven, he said to them: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for what the Father promised, which you have heard me say. John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit" (Apostle Acts 1, verses 4, 5). If the Holy Spirit descended on Pentecost, they would receive the Holy Spirit at the same time. It can be seen that if you are not zealous in serving the Lord, you will have the Holy Spirit.

5. The apostles used spiritual speaking as evidence of receiving the Holy Spirit

(1) The experience of the apostles on the day of Pentecost

When the day of Pentecost came, the disciples were all together in one place. Suddenly there came a sound from heaven, like a mighty wind blowing, and filled the house where they were sitting. And tongues appeared like flames of fire, and they fell apart on each of their heads. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak other languages according to the eloquence given by the Holy Spirit (Modern Chinese translation: speak other languages according to the ability given by the Holy Spirit). ’” (Acts 2:1-5). When the Holy Spirit came for the first time, about 120 disciples of Jesus were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke another language—the language of the Holy Spirit—spiritual language (the KJV translates it as speaking in tongues).

(2) The experience of Cornelius and others

"While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the word. The circumcised believers who came with Peter were astonished to see that the gift of the Holy Spirit had also been poured out on the Gentiles; for they heard them speaking in tongues and praising Great is God" (Acts 10:44-48). Afterwards, Peter went to Jerusalem and also testified about his experiences at Cornelius’ house: “As soon as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came upon them, just as it came upon us. I remembered the Lord’s words that John baptized with water, but You will be baptized with the Holy Spirit" (Acts 11:15, 16). The Holy Spirit fell on the relatives and friends of Cornelius house who heard the word because they heard them speak in tongues (spiritual speech).

(3) The experience of the believers in Ephesus

The believers in Ephesus, upon hearing Pauls testimony, "were baptized in the holy name of the Lord Jesus. Paul laid his hands on them, and the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues (Lu Zhens Chinese translation: rolling their tongues and prophesying. There were about twelve people in total) (Acts XIX, verses 5-6). When the believers in Ephesus received the Holy Spirit, they spoke in tongues and with retroflex—speaking in spiritual language, which shows that Spiritual speech is the evidence of receiving the Holy Spirit.

※Speaking in spirit is speaking to God, and usually no one can understand it.

"He who speaks in tongues speaks not to men, but to God; for no one hears; yet in spirit he speaks mysteries. . . . If I pray in tongues, it is my spirit I pray; but my understanding has no effect. What then? I will pray with my spirit, and I will pray with my understanding; I will sing with my spirit, and I will sing with my understanding. How can those who do not understand your tongue say amen when you give thanks, since they do not understand your words?" (1 Corinthians 14:2, 14-16). It can be seen that speaking in spiritual words is speaking to God, and usually no one can understand it.

※Spiritual words are interesting, and God will move people to interpret them when necessary.

"It is for the benefit of each man that the manifestation of the Holy Spirit ... enabled one to speak in tongues, and another to interpret in tongues" (1 Corinthians 12:7, 10). It can be seen that spiritual words are interesting, and sometimes someone needs to interpret them.

"Brothers...When you meet together, each one has a psalm, or a teaching, or a revelation, or a tongue, or an interpretation; do everything for edification. If anyone speaks in a tongue, there must be two , at most three people, and they should take turns to speak, and one person must interpret it; if no one interprets, you should keep silent in the meeting; just speak to yourself and God, and that’s it.” (1 Corinthians 14 verses 26-28). It can be seen that in addition to speaking to God by individuals "praying in spiritual languages", there is also "preaching in tongues" to edify the congregation. At this time, no one can understand the preaching in spiritual languages, and there must be someone who has the gift of "interpretation of tongues" Only when someone translates by the side can the congregation understand and be edified.

On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came down. "At that time, there were devout Jews who came from all countries in the world and lived in Jerusalem. When the sound was heard, the crowd gathered together, and everyone was puzzled when they heard the disciples speaking in the language of the people. They were amazed and wondered, "Look! Arent these speakers all from Galilee? How do we hear them speak the language of our birth (the dialect of the colony) we were born with? We Parthians... and the Arabs, have heard them speak of the great works of God in our language" (Acts 2:5-11). At Pentecost, Jewish expatriates from fifteen places came back to Jerusalem to observe the festival. God opened their ears and let them hear the voice of the 120 disciples speaking spiritual words when they received the Holy Spirit. Originally, when spiritual words were only spoken to God, No one can understand it, but if God wants to open the ears of pious people, they will be able to hear a language that the listeners can understand, and they will understand that they are talking about God’s great deeds. It can be seen that spiritual words have content and are interesting, and they can be understood by people when necessary.
