The Price of Hosting the Manifest Presence of His Glory / 承载祂有形荣耀的代价

When Esther and I were willing to pair up in the ‘the Lion & the Lamb’ ministry, we were just too naive to think that we would not be humiliated, mocked and discredited by worldly Christians lacking in complete love and joy of the Lord and not in complete union with God to see from the mind of Christ.

As a result, we unknowingly caused our beloved Christian brothers and sisters to commit grave sins as some were judging and discrediting us from outward appearance, insulting the Spirit of Grace Who was resting upon us (Hebrews 10:29, 2 Peter 2:10-12, Jude 1:8-10).

There had been so many signs that the Lord was resting upon us, in us and with us and doing His works through us.

For example, I was once prompted to address a huge audience, stating that my body was a flame of fire (Hebrews 1:7) and that if their top leader were to touch me, the glory of God resting upon me would surge through him, throwing him to the floor. It was a challenge that came to pass when God faithfully confirmed His word, much to the amazement of the congregation of the well-known church that had invited us to speak for the first time.

On another occasion, I sneaked into a meeting conducted by a renowned prophet in a seminary. After the meeting, the prophet, whom I met for the first time, called me to the altar to receive a word from the Lord. After he had finished delivering a message to me, he handed over the microphone to me, asking me to pray for him. Before I could finish the second sentence of my prayer, the power of God threw him onto the floor. With the guest speaker on the floor, the president of the Seminary then told me to minister to the congregation.

In the recent international conference in Jerusalem, the hosting pastor who observed that we do not have any notes with us, went to move the pulpit away, and was himself swept by the fire of God when nobody had even touched him or prayed for him.

This is the privilege that we enjoy in drinking from His cup and with our body hosting the manifest presence of His glory. It is also a high price to pay for such a rare privilege of being His vessels of honour, that people could see His light shining out from us.

May the Lord be glorified through the sharing of this message!

承载祂有形荣耀的代价

当以斯帖和我愿意搭配成立'狮子与羔羊'的事工时，我们很天真地认为我们不会被世俗的基督徒羞辱，嘲笑和不信任。他们缺乏了主完全的爱和喜乐，没有与上帝完全结合，更没有彰显以基督的心为心

结果，我们不知不觉地让亲爱的兄弟姐妹犯下了严重的罪，因为这些人只从外表看我们，就评判和诋毁我们，亵慢了那正停住在我们身上施恩的圣灵（希伯来书10:29，彼得后书2：10-12，犹大书1：8-10）

有太多迹象显明了上帝的灵临到我们身上，在我们里面与我们同在，并且借着我们行祂的工作。

比如在一大教会一大群会众面前神提示我跟他们说我的身体是一个火焰（希伯来书1:7），如果他们的最高领导人触摸我，神在我身上的荣耀就会传递通过他，把他摔到地上。上帝忠实地应验了祂的话，让第一次邀请我们的知名教会的会众惊讶不已。

又有一次，我们潜入了一位知名的先知在神学院进行的集会。集会后，与我第一次见面的先知叫我到祭坛前领受神的话。在他把神的话传递完之后，他将麦克风交给我，叫我为他祷告。在我未完成第二句祷告，上帝大能的能力把他摔到地上。因着演讲嘉宾躺卧在地，神学院的院长就叫我为会众服侍。

最近在耶路撒冷举行的一次国际会议上，主办单位的牧师观察到我们站讲台没有牵带任何笔记，当他要把讲台移到一旁。就在这一刻神的火触摸到他(并 没有人为他祷告)，神的火就把他击倒。

这是神给于我们的特权我们能够享受从祂的杯饮用活水，我们的身体能承载祂荣耀的同在。当然要成为祂荣耀尊贵的器皿是要付上很高的代价。人们也可以看到祂的光从我们身上照耀出来。

愿上帝通过这个分享得到荣耀！
