The X Factor
X 因素

John 7:38
约翰福音7章38节

38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
38 信我的人，正如经上所说，必从他的腹中流出活水的江河。

John 14
约翰福音14章
16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
16 我要求父，父就另外赐给你们一位保惠师，叫他永远与你们同在；

JOHN 16
约翰福音16章
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
7 然而我将真情告诉你们，我去是与你们有益的。我若不去，保惠师就不到你们这里来；我若去，就差他来。
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
8他既来了，就要叫世人为罪、为义、为审判，自己责备自己。
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
9 为罪，是因他们不信我；
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
10为义，是因我往父那里去，你们就不再见我；
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
11 为审判，是因这世界的王受了审判。

There was a TV talent show many years ago in the UK that was called the X factor, it was a singing show, which unknown singer had that extra piece they called the X factor?
多年前英国有一档电视选秀节目叫《X 音素》。这是一档歌唱选秀节目，问题是哪个不知名的歌手拥有他们所谓的 “X 因素” 呢？

Every Christian has an X factor which is the Holy Spirit.
每一位基督徒都有一种 “X 因素”，那就是圣灵。

Let me say from the outset, that the Holy spirit, is fully God. He was there at creation, He was there at Jesus baptism, He was there at the cross and it was through Him that Jesus was raised from the dead.
首先我要说，圣灵完全是上帝。在创世之时，圣灵就在那里；在耶稣受洗时，圣灵就在那里；在耶稣被钉十字架时，圣灵也在那里，而且正是通过圣灵，耶稣才从死里复活。

He was poured out at Pentecost, He can be grieved Ephesians 4, He can be lied to Acts 5:1-11, in this passage, He is clearly identified as God. He is part of that unique mystery called the Trinity, we see the Trinity in action, working as one, in creation and in redemption.
在五旬节时，圣灵被浇灌下来。在《以弗所书》第 4 章提到，圣灵是会被人伤了感情的；在《使徒行传》第 5 章 1 至 11 节记载，人是可以欺哄圣灵的，而在这一经文中，圣灵显然被认定为上帝。圣灵是那被称为 “三位一体” 这一独特奥秘的一部分，我们看到三位一体在发挥作用，在创世以及救赎的过程中，圣父、圣子、圣灵作为一体协同运作。

The Holy Spirit lives in each and every true born-again believer, indeed it is Him, who lifts the veil from their eyes about sin and about their need of Christ.
圣灵住在每一位真正重生的信徒里面，事实上，正是圣灵揭开了蒙在他们眼睛上的那层帷幕，使他们能够看清罪以及自己对基督的需要。

The job of the Holy spirit is to reveal Christ to us, He is to uplift Jesus, by opening up our eyes to the truths of scripture, I have no ability to understand any of scripture, it is only through Him, that I am able to share it. It is the Holy Spirit, who moved people to write the Holy Bible.
圣灵的职责是向我们彰显基督，通过开启我们的眼睛，让我们明白圣经的真理，来高举耶稣。我本身没有能力理解圣经里的任何内容，唯有靠着圣灵，我才能去分享圣经的内容。正是圣灵感动人们去写了《圣经》。

He lives in us to sanctify us unto God, to make us more like Christ, that is why there is a daily battle going on between the flesh and the spirit Galatians 5:16-17 and Romans 6 and 7.
圣灵住在我们里面，是为了使我们分别为圣归给神，让我们变得更像基督，这就是为什么在《加拉太书》5 章 16 至 17 节以及《罗马书》6 章和 7 章中提到，肉体和圣灵之间每日都在争战的原因。

That is why in Romans 12；1-2，we are told to renew our minds, so that we can be transformed, the Holy Spirit uses Gods word to transform us.
这就是为什么在《罗马书》12 章 1 至 2 节中，我们被告知要更新我们的心思意念，这样我们才能被改变，圣灵是借着神的话语来改变我们的。

Daily, we need to filled with the Holy Spirit, He lives within us, but we have to sow to the spirit, we have to starve the flesh and let the Holy Spirit, work in our lives, we need to stop blocking Him by our anger, bitterness and evil speaking. Ephesians 5:18 Ephesians 4:17-32.
每天，我们都需要被圣灵充满，圣灵住在我们里面，但我们必须顺着圣灵撒种，我们必须克制肉体的欲望，让圣灵在我们的生命中做工。我们需要停止因自己的愤怒、苦毒和恶言而阻碍圣灵的工作，就如《以弗所书》5 章 18 节以及《以弗所书》4 章 17 至 32 节中所讲的那样。

God’s Holy spirit can be blocked by our complaining attitude, we are told to give thanks for everything 1Thessalonians 5:18, if we are constantly complaining, then it blocks his work.
上帝的圣灵会因我们抱怨的态度而受到阻碍，我们被教导要凡事感恩（《帖撒罗尼迦前书》5 章 18 节），如果我们总是在抱怨，那么这就会阻碍圣灵的工作。

The Holy Spirit, is not just the X factor in our walk, it is in our witness. When we share the gospel, we can talk and talk to someone, we explain in detail, we share many bible verses, but somehow, they just don’t get it. The Holy Spirit is the illuminator, He and He alone, convicts of sin, righteousness and judgement, in other words, He makes the sinner aware that he is guilty before God, that Jesus is the only way to God, that is through the righteousness of Christ that we are saved, and that the terrifying consequences of sin is death and eternal separation from God.
圣灵不只是我们信仰道路上的 “X 因素”，也关乎我们作见证这件事。当我们分享福音时，我们可以跟别人不停地讲啊讲，详细地解释，分享许多圣经经文，可不知怎的，他们就是理解不了。圣灵是那启迪者，唯有圣灵能叫人知罪、明白义以及知晓审判。换句话说，圣灵能让罪人意识到自己在上帝面前是有罪的，明白耶稣是通往上帝的唯一道路，意识到我们是借着基督的义才得蒙救赎，而且罪所带来的可怕后果就是死亡以及与上帝永远的隔绝。

When I was saved all these elements came to fruition, as I was made aware that I was a sinner and that Jesus was the only way to salvation.
当我蒙救赎时，所有这些要素都得以实现了，因为我开始意识到自己是个罪人，并且明白耶稣是通往救赎的唯一道路。

The Holy spirit gives the Christian the X factor in his walk with Christ and in his witness for Christ.
圣灵赋予基督徒在其与基督同行以及为基督作见证的过程中，给予了他们 “X 因素”。

The fruit of the Holy spirit is outlined in Galatians 5:22-23and in Colossians chapter 3:12-17
圣灵所结的果子在《加拉太书》5 章 22 – 23 节和《歌罗西书》3 章 12 – 17 节中有概述。
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
22-23 “圣灵所结的果子，就是仁爱、喜乐、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信实、温柔、节制。这样的事没有律法禁止。”
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
所以，你们既是神的选民，圣洁蒙爱的人，就要存（原文作 “穿”）怜悯、恩慈、谦虚、温柔、忍耐的心。
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
倘若这人与那人有嫌隙，总要彼此包容，彼此饶恕；主怎样饶恕了你们，你们也要怎样饶恕人。
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
14在这一切之外，要存着爱心，爱心就是联络全德的。
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
15又要叫基督的平安在你们心里作主，你们也为此蒙召，归为一体，且要存感谢的心。
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
16当用各样的智慧，把基督的道理丰丰富富地存在心里，用诗章、颂词、灵歌，彼此教导，互相劝诫，心被恩感，歌颂神。
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
17无论作什么，或说话或行事，都要奉主耶稣的名，借着他感谢父神。

Being filled with the Holy Spirit is like Jesus says in John 6, living waters flow out of you.
被圣灵充满就如耶稣在《约翰福音》6 章中所说的那样，有活水从你们里面流出来。

Your walk will be close to the Lord, your witness will be active as people are brought to the Saviour.
你与主的同行将会很亲近，你的见证也是活的，因为人们会被引到救主面前。

The great command is Be filled with the Spirit-Constantly being filled every day-don’t block Him, unleash His power in your life.
最重要的命令就是： 要被圣灵充满， 每天都持续不断地被圣灵充满，不要阻碍圣灵，要在你的生命中释放圣灵的力量。

He is the comforter, He is our confidant, our confidence, He is the one who lives within us. Jesus has not left us, He has given us another comforter. The Paraclete, the one who comes alongside us.
他是保惠师，他是我们的知己，我们的依靠，他就住在我们里面。耶稣并没有撇下我们，他赐给了我们另一位保惠师——那与我们同在、随时帮助我们的那一位。

He is our X factor.
他是我们的X 因素。
