以賽亞書 32:15-18
15 等到聖靈從上澆灌我們，曠野就變為肥田，肥田看如樹林。16 那時，公平要居在曠野，公義要居在肥田。 17 公義的果效必是平安，公義的效驗必是平穩，直到永遠。 18 我的百姓必住在平安的居所，安穩的住處，平靜的安歇所。
在舊約時代，聖靈只降臨在某些特定的人身上，如先知、君王，等。感謝 神！在現今的時代，聖靈可以降臨在你、我，以及每個聖徒的身上，使神家和神的兒女都蒙福。先知以賽亞在這裡宣告：聖靈從上澆灌，便使「曠野變為肥田，肥田看如樹林」。同時，真是太感謝 神了！藉著聖靈的工作，帶下了公義、公平，進而使我們得以「住在平安的居所，安穩的住處，平靜的安歇所」。
今年教會的主題是：「主的靈在哪裡，那裡就得以自由」，讓我們把握這剩餘的一個多月，迫切地呼求 神 -- 讓聖靈繼續從上澆灌，充滿我們；充滿祂的聖殿；充滿全地；進而充滿整個世代。感謝 神！祂不僅願意，祂也能夠在一切荒涼的局面，帶下屬靈的大復興。哈利路亞！
Isaiah 32:15-18
15 Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is counted as a forest. 16 Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field. 17 The work of righteousness will be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever. 18 My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.
In the age of Old Testament, the Spirit only descended on certain people like prophets, kings, etc. Thanks be to God! Today, the Spirit can come upon you, me, and every saint, so that God's family and God's children are all blessed. The prophet Isaiah proclaims here: the Spirit is poured from on high, and "the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is counted as a forest". Thank God so very much! Through the work of the Spirit, there comes justice and righteousness, and we are brought to "dwell in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places".
The theme of our church this year is "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty". Let us make full use of the remaining over one months and pray eagerly to God -- may the Spirit be poured continuously from on high, fill in His people; fill in His temple; and eventually fill in the whole world. Thanks be to God! He is not only willing, but also able to bring forth great spiritual revival even when everything is desolate. Hallelujah!
