Private And Powerful Prayer – 私密而有力的祷告

MATTHEW 6 马太福音第六章

6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
【太6:6】你祷告的时候，要进你的内屋，关上门，祷告你在暗中的父。你父在暗中察看，必然报答你。
【太6:7】你们祷告，不可像外邦人，用许多重复话，他们以为话多了必蒙垂听。
【太6:8】你们不可效法他们，因为你们没有祈求以先，你们所需用的，你们的父早已知道了。”

PRIVATE AND POWERFUL PRAYER
私密而有力的祷告

This is probably the greatest need of the church today. Yes, it is good to pray together, with your family, spouse and your church.
这可能是今天教会最迫切的需要。是的，一起祷告是好的，与你的家人、配偶和教会一起。

But this is the blueprint for us as individuals to spend time in prayer.
但这是我们作为个人在祷告中花时间的蓝图。

First of all, we have to go into our closet. If you have seen the film War room, it may be a special room that Miss Clara had or you may have to make one like the heroine in the story. Even if you don’t have a specific room,  it is good to have a special place, where you can get away from everything and everyone. This may mean you have to turn off the computer, tv or goodness me, your cell phone.  [The point is to focus on the Lord.] 首先，我们必须进入我们的内屋。如果你看过电影《战争室》，这可能是克拉拉小姐的特别房间，或者你可能需要像故事中的女主角一样做一个。即使你没有特定的房间，有一个特别的地方也是好的，你可以远离一切和所有人。这可能意味着你必须关闭电脑、电视，或者天哪，你的手机。【重点是专注于主。】

You need to spend time alone with God, you are following your Master, as He arose a great time before the day began and went to a desert place to spend time with His Father. You will be rewarded by God, He will speak to you, not only will you be able to speak to Him, but He will speak to you, your communion with God will be sweet. What is your reward? It is the Presence and communion of God.
你需要独自与上帝相处，你在跟随你的主，因为他在一天开始之前起来，去一个荒凉的地方与他的父亲相处。你会得到上帝的奖赏，他会对你说话，你不仅能够与他交谈，而且他会与你交谈，你与上帝的交往将是甜蜜的。你的奖赏是什么？是上帝的同在和交往。

When we pray, we don’t have to say many words, as so often we go on and on and on. But we need to say things once and leave it at that. Do we think God is forgetful or deaf, or both?
当我们祷告时，我们不必说很多话，因为我们经常滔滔不绝。但我们需要说一次，并且就此结束。我们认为上帝是健忘的还是耳聋的，还是两者都是？

When we come into God’s presence, He knows exactly what we need, before we ask Him. He knows our hearts and is pleased to answer our prayers according to His will.
当我们来到上帝面前时，他确切地知道我们需要什么，在我们向他祈求之前就知道了。他知道我们的心，并且乐意根据他的旨意来回答我们的祈祷。

Coming into the closet or special place is one of the most amazing things. Your closet may be by your bedside (for me it is). When I lived Back in Heysham Uk, I used to have a special place where I would just sit/walk and talk to God. I used to spend time sitting/walking on what is called Heysham Barrows, which overlook Morecambe Bay.
进入衣橱或特别的地方是最令人惊奇的事情之一。你的内屋可能在你的床边（对我来说是这样）。当我住在英国海岸的海舍姆时，我曾经有一个特别的地方，我只是坐着/走着与上帝交谈。我曾花时间坐在海舍姆巴罗斯，俯瞰莫克姆湾。

Spend much time in prayer, because not only do we get our prayers heard and answered, but our biggest reward is that we feast on the presence of Lord. We get to know Him better as he communicates with us one to one.
花费大量时间祷告，因为我们不仅可以得到我们的祈祷被听到和回答，而且我们最大的奖赏是我们在主的同在中享受盛宴。当他与我们一对一交流时，我们更能了解他。

Moses had a closet time with God, up on the mountain for forty days and what happened?
His face shone like the sun.
摩西与上帝有了内心交流的时间，在山上待了四十天，结果如何？ 他的脸发光如日。

When you spend private time with God, it is never wasted. Half an hour will fly by, you will drink of the glory of the Lord.
当你与上帝私下交流时，这时间永远不会被浪费。半小时会飞逝，你会享受主的荣耀。

Take time today and every day to find that special place and spend time in communion with your Father.
今天和每天都抽出时间找到那个特别的地方，与你的父亲交通。

[And remember that the Bible is part of our communion with Him too.] 【记住圣经也是我们与他的交往的一部分。】
