TRANSCRIPT
雅比斯比他眾弟兄更尊貴,他母親給他起名叫雅比斯,意思說:我生他甚是痛苦。代上 4:9 Jabez was a be4er man than his brothers, a man
of honor. His mother had named him Jabez saying, “A painful birth! I bore him in great pain!”
1 Chronicles 4:9
雅比斯求告以色列的神說:「甚願你賜福與我,擴張我的境界,常與我同在,保佑我不遭患難,不受艱苦。」神就應
允他所求的。代上 4:10 Jabez prayed to the God of Israel: “Bless me, O bless me! Give me land, large tracts of land. And provide your personal protecKon—don’t let evil
hurt me.” God gave him what he asked. 1 Chronicles 4:10
小子們哪,你們是屬神的,並且勝了他們;因為那在你們裡面的,比那在世界上的更大。 My dear children, you come from God and belong to God. You have already won a big victory over those false teachers, for the Spirit in you is far stronger than anything in the world. 約翰壹書 I John 4:4

認識神 To Know God • 神是無所不知的神 Omniscient� � � 耶和華啊,你已經鑒察我、認識我。我坐下,我起來,你都曉得,你從遠處知道我的意念;我行路,我躺臥,你都細察,你也深知我一切所行的。耶和華啊,我舌頭上的話,你沒有一句不知道的。你在我前後環繞我,按手在我身上。這樣的知識奇妙,是我不能測的;至高,是我不能及的。 � O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. You have hedged me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it.� � � � � � � � � � � 詩 Psalm 139:1-6� �

你們有苦難You will have tribulaKon
我將這些事告訴你們,是要叫你們在我裡面有平安。在世上,你們有苦難;但你們可以放心,我已經勝了世界。 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulaKon; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

釋放從神的力量 Unleash the Power from God

耶和華說:我知道我向你們所懷的意念是賜平安的意念,不是降災禍的意念,要叫你們末後有指望。 你們要呼求我,禱告我,我就應允你們。 你們尋求我,若專心尋求我,就必尋見。 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare[a] and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and
pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
