对今日诗句的想法
我们的世界重新出现了神秘主义，以及对妖魔和巫术世界的迷恋之风。我们很容易发现其中的一个危险之处：淡化这些东西的真实性， 以娱乐的形式涉足他们。神想要我们知道，这些迷恋都是危险的，因为他们背后的邪恶是真实的，当我们参与他们，他们就会玷污我们。只有上帝，这个神，崇拜他的人是没有敌对者的。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Our world has a re-emergent fascination with the occult, the world of demons, and the dark practices of witchcraft. Many in today's world are caught in these demonic practices. Unfortunately, some believers in Christ react in two dangerous ways:
- Downplay the reality of these things and the twisted power available to those who pursue these dark and ancient practices.
- Dabble in them as matters of entertainment, amusement, or fascination.
God wants us to know that these fascinations and practices are dangerous because the evil entities — demonic spirits and evil curses — behind them are real. These false gods, goddesses, and demonic spirits have been around almost as long as people have been on the earth. When we involve ourselves in practices and entities, they defile us — they leave a demonic residue that only Jesus and his triumph over them can accomplish (Colossians 2:12-15; 1 John 4:1-6). God — one as Father, Son, and Spirit — is God alone (Exodus 20:1-6; Deuteronomy 6:4-9). God is to be worshiped without rivals or taint from evil idolatry by his people (Acts 19:13-20; Ephesians 5:3; 1 Timothy 4:1; Revelation 9:20). We are to give a wide berth and stay far away from such evil practices that lead to immorality (1 Thessalonians 4:1-8). Our worship of the one true Lord must be our consuming passion!
我的祷告
神圣和伟大的神，感谢你通过耶稣的受难和复活打破和抵住了邪恶的势力，请传达给那些我认识和爱着的正沉浸在迷恋错误的神，和受到欺骗和破坏性精神毒害的人们。用你的精神使你的教会更有威力，请洗礼我们，使我们成为圣洁的人，并准备服侍您。以主耶稣的名义，我祈祷。阿门。
My Prayer...
Holy and magnificent God, thank you for breaking the power and hold of evil and demonic powers through Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection (Colossians 2:12-15). Please deliver those I know and love who are entrapped in any way with a fascination with false gods, deceptive demons, and destructive spirits. Empower your people, Father, with your Spirit. Cleanse and make us your holy people through the Holy Spirit dwelling in us. May we be undefiled and ready for your service? In the name of the Lord Jesus, I pray. Amen.
