Live Free from the Curse
“Yahweh says: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from Yahweh. For he shall be like a bush in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited. “Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose confidence is in Yahweh. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.” (Jeremiah 17:5-8 WEB)
When you trust in your arm of flesh, you are unable to receive God’s grace in your circumstances. You make Christ of no effect to you when you operate by the flesh instead of by the Spirit.
The cursed way is to be like Adam after the fall, cursed to eat bread by the sweat of his brow. The ground would sprout forth thorns and thistles, hindering the fruitfulness of what is sown.
Hard labor by the flesh and not by the anointing is the cursed way. “Nothing is going to happen if I don’t do it myself, so I will handle it on my own.” That is the mindset of one who trusts in his arm of flesh.
What is the difference between the “bush in the desert” and the “tree planted by the waters”? The answer is: the presence of water.
The cursed man does not care to receive and meditate on the water of God’s word, so he does not have the hope from God’s promises.
On the other hand, the blessed man is planted by the waters, constantly receiving and meditating on God’s word. He has strong faith and hope in God’s promises, and experiences fruitfulness, health, youth renewal, and provision.
“The farmer sows the word. The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them. These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy. They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble. Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word, and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.”” (Mark 4:14-20 WEB)
Why do you think the devil puts in so much effort to snatch the seed of God’s word from your heart? He deceives, distracts, intimidates, and tempts, all so that he can convince you to give up on God’s word.
It is because a person who allows God’s word to grow in his heart is the biggest threat to the demonic kingdom. A person who prays, loves, and preaches the Gospel destroys Satanic strongholds, yokes, and bondages, setting captives free.
Such a person’s life flourishes through God’s word, and enjoys hundredfold harvests of God’s blessing.
If the enemy can steer you away from receiving God’s word, he can keep you living in defeat. Let us see through his evil strategies and do the exact opposite: every day, receive the Gospel and hear about the gift of righteousness and the abundance of grace available to you through our Lord Jesus Christ. Saturate your mind and heart with the Gospel. This is one way you can silence the serpent in your life!
“Silencing the Serpent” is my ebook about spiritual warfare and how Christians can emerge victorious in it. You will discover the mighty spiritual weapons you have in Christ, and learn about the enemy’s strategies as well as how to counter them with Biblical truths. Expect long-time addictions, bondages, and patterns of defeat to be broken when you meditate on the truths in this book: https://bit.ly/silence-the-serpent-now
make up my mind 在 Re: [文法] 下定決心- 精華區Eng-Class - 批踢踢實業坊 的推薦與評價
※ 引述《suffis (Il me quitte)》之銘言：
: 請問下定決心做某件事的英文
: make up one's mind 是直接加Ving嗎? 還是要再加什麼介係詞?
: 謝謝!
make up one's mind to V.....
旋元佑有一個觀點...第一次看到真的讓我非常shock.....
或許我看的書不多吧..但這個看法我只在他的書看到過.....
關於to V 以及 Ving之間的差別....
首先他說一句話....我以上面的句子來說好了...
I make up my mind to become a good student.
這句話所表示的意思是說~我要下定決心來"成為"一個好學生....
因為下定決心來"成為"~所以此時我還沒成為....
這時要用to V~來表示一個還沒發生~不確定的事情...
上句可以看成這樣~I make up my mind that I will become a good student.
此時要補充的是...助動詞 will, should,can,may,must都有一個to V的片語來對應...
will = be going to
should = ought to
can = be able to
may = be probably to
must = have to
所以上面的句子可以這樣改寫...
I make up my mind that I will become a good student.
= I make up my mind that I am going to become a good student.
再來對於句中的相同主詞予以省略~由於省略要連同(主詞+be動詞)一起省略...
所以把I,am 省略~此時that也可一併移出...這時剩下的going其實並不代表任何意義...
所以把沒意義的字也提出來...(不知道這裡有沒有講錯)
於是便出現了 I make up my mind to become a good student.
至於Ving的句子....
I regret playing a joke on her.
同樣先把句子還原...
I regret that I was playing a joke on her.
一樣把主詞+be動詞省略~連同that也移出來...
於是I regret playing a joke on her.
當然這個句子不一定一開始就是進行式...
I regret that I played a joke on her.
此時要省略句子~第一步要先製造一個be動詞出來~以便之後的移出.....
於是補了一個was~再將後面原先的動詞改為動名詞.....
於是句子就變成原來看到的那樣了......
Ving的差別在於這件事情已經發生了...所以我"後悔"的事情是一件發生的事...
而to V則反之....代表一個希望~願望......
大概是這樣.......手上沒書....有書的人或許能解釋的更好......
最後附上一些常用的接to V以及Ving的動詞..書上還有附口訣咧..
必須接動名詞的動詞：
我之所以能 避免 後悔 這得 感謝 朋友給我 建議： 繼續 練習 以 完成 冒險 大業
avoid regret appreciate suggest keep practice finish risk
repent
我為了 逃避 給人 討厭 ：我 否認 他人 介意 ，承認 自己的 失誤 ，請求 原諒。
escape dislike deny mind admit miss excuse
接不定詞者：
她 假裝 很 注意 地 選擇 生日禮物給媽媽，其實 希望 媽媽能夠 同意 ,
pretend care choose hope agree
並且 答應 她的 決定 。
promise decide
