感谢主,今天灵里突然体会到,守望乃是上帝设的特别的祭!

已经是户外敬拜的第19周了,按照我的身体和上次关了快三天的体验,这次能毅然前往实在是神自己的激励。虽然我准备了两只手机,显然上次偷藏一只,电话报警激怒了他们,这次被搜得干干净净,眼看着跟外面联络的机会完全被掐断了。上次是我主动再战东升,想让他们看看,遣返我不怕,关押更不怕,户外的决心不会因着他们的虐待而动摇!结果我被击打得体无完肤,着实看到自己没有什么可夸的。这次到了平台就想只要不是东升PCS就行, 因为我没有机会在东升辖区住了,结果跌破眼镜,却被硬性指派给了东升!既如此,我便再一次将自己交托给主!

依旧是熟悉的看押室,熟悉的狭窄的过道,熟悉的保安跟我问候:“呵呵,守望的胡建是吧,又来了哈,5次了吧?”心里暗暗否定:“没有是4次,我不希望有5!”熟悉的保安还很照顾的样子:“需要热水吱声啊!”于是我周日下午晚上都可以喝热水,真的为此感谢主!无法跟外界联络,不知道其他人情况如何,真的是分秒都难过,懊悔自己没有保住手机,没有那些问候关注和代祷,我能顶的住吗?

果然周一的保安公事公办,一整天没有一口水和一口粮!直到换班下午六点才从熟悉的保安那里补充体力,然后就是直接往那个昏黄又湿热的看押室呆着了。快速地打出询问笔录,就知道这次是“48小时”没商量了。

忍耐啊!祷告啊!奇迹发生了!感谢主,他知道我的情况,第二天晚上7点,副所长刘磊磊给我拍完照不久,竟然说可以走了!我反而平静胜于惊喜,主啊,这次真是在你的里面尽力了,你也真知道我!刘副所陪我出来时问了很多他正看的创世纪的问题,我知道他终于略微认真在道上了,盼望将来有一天我们一起合作一个帮忙解决人里面罪性的问题,一个帮忙解决人外在罪行的问题。王盼盼姐妹说:“神借着这样逼迫的环境使祂怜悯和忍耐的心肠再一次向世人,尤其是JC、GB、居委会等显明出来,也再一次宣告祂的公义,惟义人因信得生。”

是的,我们生命的境界和度量一再地被扩张,远超过我们的初衷;上帝福音的疆界、我们脚掌所踏之地也一再地被延伸,每一次与JC、居委会的面对面,都能看到我们所经历的绝不是徒然,更多的这个特殊的参与逼迫的群体,反复通过这次事件听到了耶稣的福音,更多昏昧的良心被唤醒,谁敢说这一刻撒的种不是为了以后的收获呢?主啊,你的美意本是如此。无人在这件事上定规,都是祂自己的带领自己的感动并且照着定时成就。主啊,感谢你,使我们有别于这个世界,有幸于这个时代,有份与主的苦难,一切的荣耀都是你的!

如今,守望是一个特别的祭,我们被摆在这个城市,被不同程度的遭受击打,而上帝对我们的挑战就是摆上这样的祭,结果交托他! 每个人所需要摆上的也许不一样,不是每个人会丢工作,也不是每个人会被搬家,更不是每个人会被遣返, 会被丢身份证和户口,可能你还会害怕冲突,害怕语言暴力,害怕看押室的昏黄灯光,或是地下室的阴凉,或是尊严的暂时被蹂躏,甚至人格的被践踏。但是每个人都要被挑战, 这个就是我们所要献上的祭!

献祭是痛苦的,但我要说痛苦是短暂的,这么多云彩般的见证,事实胜于雄辩,而我们更深的略略体会到什么是主当年的杯,守望的杯你摆脱不了,守望的份你离不了,亲爱的弟兄姊妹请不要害怕,其实这都是好得无比的事情,主必保守你如他眼中的瞳仁,他也应许不叫你承受不了!

守望一路蒙神如此清晰的带领,如今依然蒙他亲自的眷顾保守。亲爱的弟兄姊妹,我何等盼望每一个人都不掉队。当然你可以依然想象对方的白色恐怖,老师讲, 这次东升之前我看到艾未未那81天的非人待遇,真是做好了被失踪的准备。但是感恩的是我们有圣灵保惠师,他既做我随时的帮助,就没有什么能使我与上帝的爱隔绝! 主量给我们每一个人的杯不一样,只是我们不要自己逃避, 逃也逃不了,都当向上帝交账嘛! 何必等那管教到来呢!然而不管怎样他都是爱我们,主啊,求你怜悯,不要让我们丢失那上好的福分!

还在抱怨牧养不够, 真不够吗?还是我们自己懈怠了呢?! 你敢于向神求他就必牧养,愿我们共同学习如何长大,彼此扶持,彼此相爱,一起让主的手搀拉我们。而我们中很多人的确已经不是吃奶的婴孩了, 在后的要在前,我们要常常警醒啊! 前几周着实被一90后弟兄的信心给惊到了,主啊,你早有预备,为你的国度而被献上的祭,自必为你悦纳!

Saving Pastor Gong

Please Help Saving jailed Pastor Gong of Huanan Chruch

Since Dec 2, 2012, my father Pastor Shengliang Gong had High Blood Pressure and Cerebral Infraction, but he never got the proper medical checkup and adequate treatments. Consequently, my father’s illness got worse and worse. More than once my father almost fell to the ground during last November.

Finally when he got the checkup on November 26th 2013, the doctor said my father’s illness was not very optimistic. He was having Cerebral Infraction, Encephalatrophy, Brain Lesions and Leukoaraiosis, etc. The doctor said that my father needs to have checkup every three months. So we repeatedly requested the prison officials to perform checkup accordingly, once every three months. The prison said that they had one done on April 17th, but refused to release the hospital’s medical treatments records and conclusions to neither my father nor the family members. They would not make any specific statements about my father’s illness. Now, my father and our family have no ideas about the level of his illness.

       Since my father illness, previously we could buy some appropriate medicines for him according to his known conditions pieced together from oral communications of diagnosis, after consulting with doctors. Though this won’t amount to totally healing, it was the only way our family could do for him under the circumstances. But now, as the prison withholding medical records from us, we are unable to know his condition and thus cannot providing suitable medicines for him-the very minimum request was denied of us.

       The inadequate medical treatments within the prison cannot give my father prompt and sufficient treatments. Yet the prison won’t send him to hospitals outside for necessary treatments and regular checkups, causing further serious damages to his health. The prison won’t allow him the fundamental human rights; they also deprive his right to know about his illness condition. The prison as law enforcement agency behaves illegally. Effectively, they are directly pushing my gravely ill father to dead end street of death.

       I appeal to the international communities concerning my father’s health and human rights conditions. Please join us to rally for my father and our family’s rights to medical records and the right to know the situation of my father’s sickness; also his right to have regular medical treatments, thereby saving his life and protect his fundamental rights!!

三化異象
中國福音化
  五十年來,中國大陸的信徒從不到100萬(1949)遽增到八千萬(2000),這是中國五千年來難得的宣教黃金時期;在中國教會裡,也普遍呈現「羊在找牧人」的現象,上帝為中國敞開了大門!現在就是「中國福音化」的關鍵時刻!
教會國度化
  教會是基督榮耀的身體,是一切事工的根柢。今日世界各地的基督教宗派都去中國宣教,如何促使海外教會超越宗派主義,中國教會突破山頭主義,共同營造具有「國度觀」的宣教事工,將是中國教會拓展生根的關鍵時刻!
文化基督化
  1989年「六四」之後,大批的中國知識分子信主,他們承認了理性的局限性,也不再提「反宗教、反帝國主義」,轉而思考基督教對中國現代化有何貢獻?如今正是因勢利導,以基督思想來影響中國文化,以聖經真理來更新中國文化的關鍵時刻!
