God’s Fiery Word 神火热的话语

GOD’S FIERY WORD 神火热的话语

Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? Jeremiah 23:29
耶和华说：“我的话岂不像火，又像能打碎磐石的大锤吗？”耶利米书23:29

It is wonderful to read God’s word and to receive the comfort and blessing, we need from it.   But do we ever see God’s word either written or spoken like the prophet Jeremiah saw it?    Chapter 23 of his incredible book is a warning to the false pastors and prophets who speak an easy gospel; a gospel that all is going to be well and you are going to be blessed beyond measure. These preachers speak a gospel that tells everyone that everything will be ok and that God will bless them.   Yes, that’s true, but He doesn’t give you everything you want. God’s words either written or spoken are meant to refine us and break our stubborn resistance.读到神的话语，得到我们所需要的安慰和祝福，是一件很奇妙的事。但是，我们曾见过神的话语像先知耶利米所见的那样被写下来或说出来吗?这本不可思议的书的第23章是对那些讲轻松福音的假牧师和假先知的警告;福音告诉你一切都会好起来，你会得到无限的祝福。这些传教士讲福音，告诉每个人一切都会好起来，上帝会保佑他们。是的，这是真的，但是他并没有给你你想要的一切。神的话语，无论是写下来的还是说出来的，都是为了熬炼我们，打破我们顽固的抗拒。

Yes, we are stubborn, believe it or not.   Well, I’m not you say… really… are you joking? God’s word is like a fire.   When the Holy Spirit speaks to us, it burns up all our pride, all of our arrogant little attitudes we have that we are better than the next person. It breaks down the resistance we put up, the walls we erect.
是的，我们很固执，信不信由你。我不是你说的，真的，你在开玩笑吗?神的话就像火。当圣灵对我们说话时，它会燃烧掉我们所有的骄傲，我们所有自大的小态度，我们认为自己比别人好。它打破了我们的抵抗，我们筑起的墙。

In 1 Corinthians 3:11-13 it says: 哥林多前书3:11-13说

“For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is [already] laid, which is Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). But if anyone builds upon the Foundation, whether it be with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, The work of each [one] will become [plainly, openly] known (shown for what it is); for the day [of Christ] will disclose and declare it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test and critically appraise the character and worth of the work each person has done.”
因为那已经立好的根基，就是耶稣基督(弥赛亚、受膏者)，人不能立别的根基。若有人在根基上建造，或用金，银，宝石，木，草，草，都必显明他所作的是什么。因为[基督的日子]要将这事显明出来，宣告出来，因为这事要用火显明出来，这火要试验并鉴察各人所作之工的品格和价值。”

The Holy Spirit is the one who uses the written and spoken word of God to strip away all the rubbish in our lives; to break open the rocks in our lives of the most stubborn resistance.   In Hebrews 4:12-13 says: “For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart. And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, naked and defenseless to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.”
圣灵是用神写下来的和说出来的话语，除去我们生活中所有垃圾的那一位;要打破我们生命中最顽固的阻力。希伯来书4:12-13说:“因为神所说的道是活的，充满能力(使它有活力，有功效，有功效);它比任何双刃剑都要锋利，能穿透生命(灵魂)和(不朽的)精神，关节和骨髓(我们本性的最深处)的分界线，揭露、筛选、分析和判断我们内心的想法和目的。在他的眼前，没有一样受造之物是隐藏的。在与我们有关系的主面前，万物都是敞开暴露的，赤身露体，毫无防备。”

Nothing is hidden from the word of God.   It can find out every secret.   Nothing is hidden and everything sinful will be exposed.   The Word of God has a light that goes everywhere. We have a saying in the UK, “It takes a sledgehammer to crack a nut and when it comes to the word of God, we need a sledgehammer, because some of us are nuttier than others.   Seriously though, we need to see God’s word as something awesome, as something that breaks down all the barriers and fleshly motivations we have.
神的话没有隐瞒的。它可以发现每一个秘密。没有什么是隐藏的，一切罪恶都将被揭露。神的话语有光，能照到各处。英国有句谚语:“要敲开坚果需要一把大锤，当涉及到上帝的话语时，我们需要一把大锤，因为我们中的一些人比其他人更疯狂。”严肃地说，我们需要把上帝的话看作是令人敬畏的东西，是打破我们所有障碍和肉体动机的东西。

We do need a word of comfort, but we also need to see God’s word as the refining and pruning tool that God uses.   To the preachers reading this, when do you speak the word of God with fire? Are you afraid of hurting people’s feelings in your church? Frightened of losing members or God forbid – money?   It is time to speak the word of God like Jeremiah with God’s fire and power.
我们确实需要安慰的话语，但我们也需要看到神的话语是神使用的精炼和修剪的工具。对那些念这书的人说，你们什么时候用火讲神的道呢?你害怕在教堂里伤害别人的感情吗?害怕失去会众或者害怕钱?是时候像耶利米一样用神的火和能力说神的话了。

God bless you, 上帝祝福你
