Title: Vision for My Soul
Vision for My Soul in 2012
Text/Joel 3:10
1. Introduction
Yesterday, I went up to the upper floor of the upper-floor temple and sang several hymns with the message I would like to preach in mind, and 190 of them received great grace and double inspiration.
(1) Holy Spirit, come on me and inspire me and fill my heart to mourn and repent.
(2) Holy Spirit, come on and give us your great power, I beg you, I want you to be filled.
(3) I am weak and weak, but I fall on my face and pray.
(4) Purify and comfort me so that I may be blessed. Thank you so much for making me full.
(Refrain) Jesus, I beg you, hear my prayer, and fill my heart to mourn and repent.
The Bible says, “Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life” (Proverbs 4:23). there)” he said. The reason I received grace in chapter 190 is that the Holy Spirit descended on me to inspire me--give me a heart to mourn and repent--to pour out great power to the full in order to fulfill “My Spirit-My Soul’s Vision in 2012”. It is because of the realization that it is possible to give.
Note: The lyrics of Hymn 490 say ‘a heart that mourns and repents’, but I think “a heart that mourns and repents” is correct. ‘Han’ is the past and ‘Hal’ is the future. This is because humans are beings who have to check the sins, faults, and mistakes of their existence while living in the future without 間斷 (simple).
2. The Bible always speaks of the existence of people (individual-group-ethnic) in the future
* Sing you, barren and barren; shout and sing, you who are not in childbirth; for the children of single women are more numerous than those of those with husbands, says the LORD. Expand your tents and spare the curtains of your dwellings. Do not spread it out, lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes, for you will spread from side to side, and your descendants will gain nations, and waste cities will become inhabited. Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame. Do not be dismayed. You will forget the shame of your youth, and the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more; for your maker is your husband, and his name is the LORD of hosts, and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; he is the God of all the earth. You will be called (Isaiah 54:1-5)
* Beat your plowshares into swords, and your sickles into spears, and let the weak say, I am strong-Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weakling say, "I am strong!" (Joel 3:10)
3. My Soul 2012 - What should the vision be for my heart?
first. First of all, we must make it clear that “I am not a poor-poor-pathetic-incompetent-hopeless-weak being.” Self-hatred - We must be freed from self-pity. I am the son-daughter of God- 天上天下唯我獨尊-獨坐大雄峰-the only one and only being in the universe-I am a person more precious than the world that Jesus shed blood Awakening - You must be awakened. Therefore, the Bible says, “Make ploughers for swords, and sickles for spears; let the weak say, ‘I am strong!
* Self-pity is your worst enemy. Self-pity is our worst enemy, and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in the world-Helen Keller
second. First of all, we must cultivate a mindset of “give thanks in all circumstances” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Living by discovering gratitude in all of our normal lives (home-work-meeting-nature-everyday life) Truly, I found “non-normal” in “平凡 (ordinary)” surprise ya! aha! really! You have to practice on your own so that you can attain enlightenment. This is what the 宋 dynasty 邵康節 (Sogangjeol, 1011-1077) recites this in the Qingyaeum (淸夜吟):
月到天心處 (The moon rises in the middle of the sky and shines brightly)
來水面 (Pungnae Sleep: Wind blows and waves!)
一般淸意味 (general meaning: this natural and natural meaning of ‘extraordinary in ordinary’)
料得小人知 (Necessary and beneficial factors: Very few people understand by counting!)
The vision of My Soul in 2012 should be (1) the realization that I am more precious than the world, (2) a life of discovering the extraordinary in the ordinary (3) the practice of emptying-empty-emptying.
