Session 10
第十講
Walking in Freedom Everyday
每日行在自由中
Focus Verse
重點經文
Hebrew 5：14：But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
希伯來書 5 章 14節：“唯獨長大成人的，才能吃幹糧，他們的心竅習練得通達了，就能分辨好歹了。”
Objective
目標
To help people understand that taking hold of their freedom in Christ is not one-off experience – it needs to become a way of life – and to provide them with tools to help.
幫助人們理解緊緊抓住基督裏的自由不是一次完成的經曆---它需要成為一種生命方式---還要給人們提供一些工具協助他們。
Focus Truth
重點真理
Our success in continuing to walk in freedom and grow in maturity depends on the extent to which we continue to renew our minds and train ourselves to distinguish good from evil.
我們能否每天持續行走在自由中，取決於我們在多大程度上繼續更新我們的頭腦，並訓練自己如何分辨善與惡。

Barriers to Maturity
成熟的障礙
“Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual but as worldly – mere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, no solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? (1 Corinthians 3:1-3).
“弟兄們，我從前對你們說的話，不能把你們當作屬靈的，隻得把你們當作屬肉體， 在基督裏為嬰孩的。我用奶喂你們，沒有用飯喂你們，那時你們不能吃，就是如今還是不能。 你們仍是屬肉體的，因為在你們中間有嫉妒，紛爭，這豈不是屬乎肉體，照著世人的樣子行嗎？（哥林多前書3章1-3節）
Not Taking Hold of Our Spiritual Freedom
沒有握緊我們心靈的自由
“His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.” (2 Peter 1:3).
“上帝的神能已經將一切關乎生命和虔敬的事賜給我們，皆因我們認識那用自己榮耀和美德召我們的主”。（彼得後書1章3節）
There is great difference between freedom – which can be obtained in a relatively short time – and maturity, which is the work of a lifetime.
自由和成熟有很大的不同：自由可以在短期內獲得，而成熟要一生的努力。
Freedom is a position we take in response to Christ’s victory over sin and Satan. We are either free or bound in various areas of our lives. We don’t grow into freedom in these areas: we take possession of freedom by the authority we have in Christ wherever we realize that we have been deceived and bound.
自由是在我們身上基督勝過罪與撒旦的反應狀態。 我們在自己生命的各個方麵不是自由的，就是受束縛的。 我們不是在這些方麵成熟起來進入自由，而是每當我們意識到我們被欺騙被束縛住了，我們就緊緊握住我們在基督裏所有的權柄讓我們擁有的自由。
Not Taking Personal Responsibility
沒有承擔個人責任
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”(Galatians 5:1).
“基督釋放了我們，叫我們得以自由，所以我們要站立得穩，不要再被奴仆的軛轄製”。
Pause for thought 1
思考問題 1
Have you matured as a Christian as quickly as you would like? What are some of the things that have hindered you? Does it feel as if you already have everything you need? Have you ever hoped that renewing your mind might be as simple as asking God to “zap” you? Why does He tend not to do this?
你作為一名基督徒是否像你想象的那樣快的成長？什麽東西阻攔了你的成長？ 是否你覺得你已經擁有所有作為基督徒所需要的東西了？ 你是否曾經希望更新你的頭腦就像請求上帝“灌輸”進去一樣簡單？為什麽他不傾向於這樣做？
Nothing and no one can prevent you from becoming the person God wants you to be – except you!
沒有什麽事情，也沒有任何人能阻攔你成為上帝要你成為的人， 除了你自己。
Not Knowing The Basic Truths
不了解基本真理
“Though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.”(Hebrews 5:12-14)
“看你們學習的功夫，本該做師傅，誰知還得有人將神的基本真理重新教導你們，並且成了那必須吃奶，不能吃幹糧的人。 凡隻能吃奶的，都不熟練公義的道理，因為他是嬰孩。唯獨長大成人的，才能吃幹糧，他們的心竅習練得通達，就能分辨好歹了”。（希伯來書5章12-14節）
Faulty Thinking
錯誤想法
Psychologists tell us that it takes around six weeks to form or break a habit. Once you have dealt with any footholds of the enemy, a mental stronghold is simply a habitual way of thinking, Can you break a habit? Of course – but it takes some effort over a period of time.
心理學家說形成或者改變一個習慣需要6周的時間。一旦你已經處理了敵人的所有立足點，一種思維的慣性就僅僅剩下習慣性的思維方式而已。你能改變一個習慣嗎， 當然，隻是這需要努力一段時間而已。
Not Training ourselves To Distinguish Good from Evil
未訓練自己分辨善惡
Let’s look again at something the writer to the Hebrews said: “But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.”(Hebrews 5:14).
我們來看看希伯來書的作者對希伯來人所說的話：“唯獨長大成人的， 才能吃幹糧，他們的心竅習練得通達，就能分辨好歹了”（希伯來書5章14節）。

Pause For Thought 2
思考問題２
Take a lie and work out a “stronghold-buster”. It maight be really helpful to take a real lie that someone in the group has uncovered. Otherwise choose from this list: “I feel inferior”: “I feel that what I’ve done makes me unacceptable to God”; “I can’t stop doing something that I know is wrong (choose something specific)”; “I am a failure”; “I know this works for others but it won’t work for me”.
找一個謊言，作“拆除固疾”的練習。拿組裏某個人找出的一個真正的謊言為例，或者，從下麵的清單中挑選一個：“我覺得自己不如人”，“我做的事情使上帝不能接受我”，“我不能停止做我明知是錯的事”（指明具體的事項），“我是個失敗者”，“我知道這個對別人有用，但對我不會有用”。
Taking A Long –Term View
用長期的眼光來看待
“Forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, I press on towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenwards in Christ Jesus. All of us who are mature should take such a view of things” (Philippians 3:13b
“忘記背後，努力麵前的， 要得神在耶穌基督裏從上麵召我來得的獎賞。我們中間所有成熟的人，都應當有這樣的眼光” (腓力比書3：13b –

Example of A “Stronghold-Buster”
一個拆毀痼疾的例子
Taking Comfort In Food Rather Than God
以食物而不是以神為安慰
The lie: that overeating brings lasting comfort.
謊言：過食帶來持久的舒適。
Proverbs 25:28
Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control.
箴言25章28節
人不製服自己的心，好像毀壞的城邑，沒有牆桓。
Galatians 5:16
So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
加拉太書5章16節
所以我說：你們當順著聖靈而行，就不放縱肉體的情欲了。
Galatians 5:22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.
加拉太書5章22節
聖靈所結的果子，就是仁愛，喜樂，和平，忍耐，恩慈，良善，信實，溫柔，節製，這樣的事，沒有律法禁止。凡屬基督耶穌的人，是已經把肉體上連肉體的邪情私欲同釘在十字架上了。
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
哥林多後書1 章3-4節
願頌讚歸於我們的主耶穌基督的父神，就是發慈悲的父，賜各樣安慰的神。 在我們一切的患難中，他安慰我們， 叫我們能用神所賜的安慰去安慰那遭各樣患難的人。
Psalm 63:4-5
I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will life up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
詩篇63 篇4-5節
我還活著的時候要這樣稱頌你，我要奉你的名舉手。我的心就像飽足了骨髓肥油，我也要以歡樂的嘴唇讚美你。
Psalm 119:76
May your unfailing love be my comfort.
詩篇119章76節
願你永遠的慈愛成為我的安慰。
Lord, I renounce the lie that overeating brings lasting comfort. I announce the truth that you are the God of all comfort and that your unfailing love is my only legitimate and real comfort. I affirm that I now live by the Spirit and do not have to gratify the desires of the flesh. Whenever I feel in need of comfort, instead of turning to foods I choose to praise you and be satisfied as with the richest of foods. Fill me afresh with your Holy Spirit and live through me as I grow in self-control. Amen.
主啊，我拒絕接受過食會帶來長久舒適的謊言。 我宣告你是賜各樣安慰的神的真理，你永遠不變的愛是我唯一合理而真實的安慰。我確認我如今依靠聖靈而活，不必迎合滿足所有肉體的貪欲。每當我感覺需要安慰的時候，我選擇不去尋找食物，而是讚美你， 並且如得到豐盛食物一般得享滿足。用你的聖靈重新充滿我，並且一直在我裏麵活著使我學會成熟節製。 阿門！

Suggestions For Your Quiet Times This Week:
建議你在本周安靜的時間作以下事情：
Work out a stronghold-buster for the most significant lie you have uncovered and start work on it.
作一個拆毀痼疾得練習。針對你找出得最重大的謊言， 開始做拆毀的工作。
Big Questions (to consider before the next session):
思考問題（下一課之前思考）：
When another Christian does something wrong, what would be a good way for you to respond? The Bible tells us not to judge others but it also makes clear that Christians sometimes need to be disciplined. What is the difference?
當另一個基督徒做了錯事，你如何回應是好的方式？聖經告訴我們不要論斷別人，但也說得很清楚基督徒需要被紀律約束， 這兩者有什麽不同？
