【哥林多后书 4:10 】身上常带着耶稣的死，使耶稣的生也显明在我们身上。【2 Cor4:10】We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

圣灵在罗马书中借保罗教导我们真理：若在死的形状与基督联合，也必在复活的形状上与耶稣联合。The Holy Spirit, through Paul in the book of Romans, teaches us the truth: If we are united with Christ in the likeness of His death, we shall certainly also be united with Him in the likeness of His resurrection.这联合需要信心配合，在环境中信并支取耶稣的十字架所成就的恩典。This union requires faith — faith that lays hold of the grace accomplished through Jesus’ work on the cross, even in the midst of our daily circumstances. 因叫我罪身灭绝的恩典已经成就，我可以在环境中向罪死，向论断死，向不饶恕死，向一切我靠肉体克制不能胜过的罪死。The grace that put to death the body of sin has already been accomplished. Therefore, I can now reckon myself dead to sin in every situation: dead to judgmental thoughts, dead to unforgiveness, dead to all sin that I cannot overcome by mere self-discipline. 当环境一来，我就立刻凭信心祷告，向神支取耶稣向罪死的能力，让人看见我身上有向罪死，胜过罪的莫大能力，不是来自克制，而是来自耶稣那十字架治死肉体邪情私欲的大能。When trials arise, I pray in faith, laying hold of the power of Christ’s death to sin. Then others will see in me the mighty power of God — not self-restraint, but the power of the cross of Jesus that puts to death the sinful desires of the flesh.

求主赦免我，常常准备了一大堆知识准备跟人分享耶稣的福音，Lord, please forgive me. I often prepare a great amount of knowledge, ready to share the gospel of Jesus with others.  但一遇到不信的人挑战和提各种刁钻问难的问题时，我里面的被拒绝伤害和争竞骄傲的营垒就发动起来，But when I encounter unbelievers who challenge me and raise all kinds of tricky and difficult questions, the strongholds of rejection and pride in me are stirred up.  就想用自己的神学知识和圣经的话去压服对方，自己内心却充满了怒气和不饶恕，I then want to use my own theological knowledge and Bible verses to overpower them, yet my heart is filled with anger and unforgiveness. 几乎常常要跟人吵架，服事失败没果效，后悔莫及… I nearly always end up arguing with people, my ministry fails and bears no fruit, and I am left full of regret…

主啊，再次求你带领我，进入耶稣的道路、真理和生命里。让我默想耶稣面对犹太人顶撞、不信、不服时的内心反应，是何等不同于我。Lord, once again I ask You to lead me into the way, the truth, and the life of Jesus. Let me meditate on Jesus’ inner response when He faced the opposition, unbelief, and defiance of the Jews — how completely different it was from mine. 耶稣没有被激怒，反而怜悯那些辱骂祂、钉祂十字架的人。Jesus was not provoked to anger; instead, He had compassion on those who insulted Him and crucified Him. 就在最痛苦的十字架上，祂仍向父呼求：“父啊，赦免他们，因为他们所作的，他们不晓得。”Even on the painful cross, He still cried out to the Father: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” 耶稣知道，是罪与恶者蒙蔽了他们的眼睛，使他们无法相信。Jesus knew that it was sin and the evil one that had blinded their eyes, so they could not believe.

主啊，我呼求你，当我传福音时，遇见人心刚硬、顶撞、不信、被黑暗权势控制时，求圣灵提醒我：要立刻争战，治死我里面——那些因被拒绝、骄傲、争竞、不饶恕常年形成的内在反应。Lord, I cry out to You. When I preach the gospel and encounter people whose hearts are hardened, who oppose and do not believe, and who are under the power of darkness, I ask that the Holy Spirit remind me to immediately enter into spiritual warfare — to put to death the inner reactions that have long been formed in me through rejection, pride, competitiveness, and unforgiveness. 向这些营垒死，与耶稣一同钉十字架，让耶稣的死成为我的死。求你智慧和启示的灵，让我看见是什么罪蒙蔽了他们的心眼，使我能立刻为他们代求争战。Let me die to these strongholds and be crucified with Jesus, so that His death becomes my death. Give me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, that I may see what sin has blinded the eyes of their hearts, so I can intercede and fight for them right away. 求你使我的心与你合一，用你的爱和怜悯充满我，用你的眼光看待那些不信、顶撞我的人。Unite my heart with Yours. Fill me with Your love and compassion. Let me see those who do not believe and who oppose me through Your eyes. 让我一遍遍的操练，使人感受到从我里面流露出的，是耶稣那无条件的接纳和慈爱。不再是我，乃是耶稣在我里面活着。Let me practice this again and again, so that what flows out of me is the unconditional acceptance and love of Jesus. No longer I, but Christ lives in me. 愿仇敌在耶稣面前俯伏，把被牠捆绑的不信之人释放出来，使他们归向你。愿人的信，不是因我，而是因神的大能。May the enemy bow before Jesus and release those whom it has bound in unbelief, so that they may turn to You. May their faith not rest on me, but on the power of God.
