一﹑本週經文Scriptures: 羅馬書3:11-12、8:26 Romans
3:11沒有明白的,沒有尋求神的;12都是偏離正路,一同變為無用。沒有行善的,連一個也沒有。
3:11 there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. 12 All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.
8:26 況且,我們的軟弱有聖靈的幫助;我們本不曉得當怎樣禱告,只是聖靈親自用說不出的嘆息替我們禱告。
8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
- 為列國禱告:隨著網路購物的便利性,毒品的購買方式也比以前更多元化。毒販將毒品改名為「茶包」、「餅乾」、「糖果」來掩飾,且利用便利商店的來做交易地點,成為買家取得毒品的管道。吸毒者在使用毒品之後,產生了錯誤的娛樂、潮流文化的認知。求主施恩醫治,使人們看見毒品的危險及可怕,遠離一切的毒害。
Pray for the Nations. With the convenience of online shopping, the way to buy drugs is more diversified than before. Drug dealers changed the names of drugs to “tea bags”, “biscuits”, and “candy” to cover up, and used convenience stores as trading locations to become channels for buyers to obtain drugs. After using drugs, drug addicts have a wrong perception of entertainment and trend culture. May the Lord give grace and healing, so that people can see the danger and fear of drugs, and stay away from all poisons. - 為教會禱告:自從二月在肯塔基州亞斯伯理大學的復興運動開始,逐漸的影響到美國及世界各地區都開始為著「屬靈復興」來禱告。願我們教會也燃起復興敬拜的火,讓聖靈的工作不停止,使神的兒女充滿對聖潔的渴慕、認罪悔改歸向神、勇敢傳福音,在國家、社會、社區、校園帶來轉變。
Pray for Church. Since the “Asbury revival” started in February, it has gradually affected the United States and all parts of the world and began to pray for “spiritual revival”. May the fire of revival and worship continue to burn, so that the work of the Holy Spirit will not stop, so that God’s people will be filled with the desire for holiness, confess sins and repent, spread the gospel, and bring about changes in the country, society, community, and campus. - 為宣教事工禱告:本月是教會的「宣教月」。為著我們在四月份所分享的「宣教事工」及需要來禱告。今年的宣教事工包括:幸福小組、懷相一對一事工、兒童暑期聖經學校(VBS)、吉爾吉斯短宣、台灣台中短宣,及有些弟兄姐妹參加「台灣西海岸短宣事工」。願神供應我們所有在財務上的需要,也保守我們的短宣隊在不同的地方的服事及平安。
Pray for the Evangelism. April is our “The Missions month”. Please pray for all the mission needs. This year’s our mission ministries include: “Happiness group”, D2B one-on-one ministry, VBS, short-term missions in Kyrgyzstan, and Taiwan Taichung Care church, and some brothers and sisters participated in “West Coast Short-term Missions”. May God provide for all our financial needs, and keep our short-term mission teams serving and safe in different places. - 為肢體禱告:為你所知道身體欠安的弟兄姊妹禱告,求神醫治他們恢復身體的健康。
Pray for the Sick. Pray that the Lord would heal those who are sick and restore their heath and strength.
