0820 基督意识
…我就使你们得安息。 《马太福音 11:28》
每当有任何事物开始瓦解你与耶稣基督的生命时，要立即转向祂，请求祂重建你的安息。永远不要让任何导致不安的事物留在你的生活中；将你生活中导致崩溃的每一个细节都视为需要抗争的敌人，而不是你该允许存在的东西。求主将对祂的意识放在你里面，你的自我意识就会消失。那么祂将成为你一切的一切。小心不要让你的自我意识继续存在，因为它慢慢但肯定唤醒自怜，而自怜是撒旦的。不要让自己说：「好吧，他们只是误解了我，他们应该为此向我道歉；我确信我已经和他们解释清楚了。」学会在这件事上不去管别人。只要祈求主赐给你基督的意识，祂就会稳住你，直到你在祂里面的完整是绝对的。
完整的生命就是孩子的生命。当我完全意识到我对基督的意识时，就有问题了。只有生病的人才真正知道健康是什么。神的孩子不会意识到神的旨意，因为他就是神的旨意。当我们稍微偏离神的旨意时，我们就开始问：「主啊，袮的旨意是什么？」神的孩子从不祈求让他意识到神应允祷告的事实，因为他是如此安然地确信神总是回应祷告。
如果我们试图通过任何常识方法来克服我们的自我意识，我们只会大大的增强我们的自我意识。耶稣说：「到我这里来…我就使你们得安息」，也就是说，基督意识将取代自我意识。无论耶稣来到哪里，祂都会设立安息——在我们生命完成活动的安息，但那种安息从未意识到它本身的。
来自章伯斯的智慧
眼见从不等于相信；我们根据我们所信的来解释我们所见的。信心是在你看见神出现之前对神的信任；因此，信心的本质是它必须被考验。《他必荣耀我》
0820 Christ-Awareness
…and I will give you rest. —Matthew 11:28
Whenever anything begins to disintegrate your life with Jesus Christ, turn to Him at once, asking Him to re-establish your rest. Never allow anything to remain in your life that is causing the unrest. Think of every detail of your life that is causing the disintegration as something to fight against, not as something you should allow to remain. Ask the Lord to put awareness of Himself in you, and your self-awareness will disappear. Then He will be your all in all. Beware of allowing your self-awareness to continue, because slowly but surely it will awaken self-pity, and self-pity is satanic. Don’t allow yourself to say, “Well, they have just misunderstood me, and this is something over which they should be apologizing to me; I’m sure I must have this cleared up with them already.” Learn to leave others alone regarding this. Simply ask the Lord to give you Christ-awareness, and He will steady you until your completeness in Him is absolute.
A complete life is the life of a child. When I am fully conscious of my awareness of Christ, there is something wrong. It is the sick person who really knows what health is. A child of God is not aware of the will of God because he is the will of God. When we have deviated even slightly from the will of God, we begin to ask, “Lord, what is your will?” A child of God never prays to be made aware of the fact that God answers prayer, because he is so restfully certain that God always answers prayer.
If we try to overcome our self-awareness through any of our own commonsense methods, we will only serve to strengthen our self-awareness tremendously. Jesus says, “Come to Me…and I will give you rest,” that is, Christ-awareness will take the place of self-awareness. Wherever Jesus comes He establishes rest— the rest of the completion of activity in our lives that is never aware of itself.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
Seeing is never believing: we interpret what we see in the light of what we believe. Faith is confidence in God before you see God emerging; therefore the nature of faith is that it must be tried.
