很多時候我們熱衷於禱告
於是乎各種禱告的方式通通出籠
大家運用各種方式來禱告
而也各自認為自己的禱告方式最好
的確你我的禱告方式是經歷神的方式
但它不是唯一的一種方式
有人喜歡靜默的禱告
就會招來批評說沒有大聲禱告的教會沒有信心
有人喜歡呼喊的禱告
就會招來批評說聖經不是這樣教導的
於是有什麼禱告就有什麼相對的論斷
因為大家都覺得自己的經歷是最正確的
的確自我經歷是正確的
但並非你沒經歷的方式就是錯誤的
耶穌如此教導他的門徒
所以我告訴你們,凡你們禱告祈求的,無論是甚麼,只要信是得著的,就必得著。
禱告的成就:在於信心的大小,而非時間的多少,或是何種方式的教導。
願你我定睛於耶穌所教導的禱告
而非以自己喜悅的時間或是方式來關注別人的禱告
馬可福音
11:15 他們來到耶路撒冷。耶穌進入聖殿,趕出殿裡做買賣的人,推倒兌換銀錢之人的桌子和賣鴿子之人的凳子;
And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
11:16 也不許人拿著器具從殿裡經過;
And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
11:17 便教訓他們說:「經上不是記著說:我的殿必稱為萬國禱告的殿嗎?你們倒使它成為賊窩了。」
And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves. of all...: or, an house of prayer for all nations
11:18 祭司長和文士聽見這話,就想法子要除滅耶穌,卻又怕他,因為眾人都希奇他的教訓。
And the scribes and chief priests heard it , and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
11:19 每天晚上,耶穌出城去。
And when even was come, he went out of the city.
11:20 早晨,他們從那裡經過,看見無花果樹連根都枯乾了。
And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
11:21 彼得想起耶穌的話來,就對他說:「拉比,請看!你所咒詛的無花果樹已經枯乾了。」
And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
11:22 耶穌回答說:「你們當信服 神。
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. Have...: or, Have the faith of God
11:23 我實在告訴你們,無論何人對這座山說:『你挪開此地,投在海裡!』他若心裡不疑惑,只信他所說的必成,就必給他成了。
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
11:24 所以我告訴你們,凡你們禱告祈求的,無論是甚麼,只要信是得著的,就必得著。
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them , and ye shall have them .
11:25 你們站著禱告的時候,若想起有人得罪你們,就當饒恕他,好叫你們在天上的父也饒恕你們的過犯。
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
