Prayer to break through the three layers of obstacles to the Lord’s recovery in the United States in order to gain the proper increase

禱告求主為著祂在美國的恢復得著適當的擴增,使聖徒勝過在這個國家得著適當擴增的三個障礙—世俗、反對和公會,好為著主的恢復得人(約壹二15~16,羅十二2,徒四31,林前一10)。

约壹二15-16 - 不要愛世界,和世界上的事。人若愛世界,愛父的心就不在他裡面了;因為凡世界上的事,就是肉體的情慾、眼目的情慾、並今生的驕傲,都不是出於父,乃是出於世界。

Rom. 12:2—And do not be fashioned according to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and well pleasing and perfect.

徒四31 - 祈求完了,聚會的地方震動,他們就都被聖靈充溢,放膽講說神的話。

1 Cor. 1:10—Now I beseech you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be attuned in the same mind and in the same opinion.
