living sacrifice

I feel tired talking to Mu Yun, although we are all talking about Jesus, our minds are not in the same place.I think I need the help of the church, otherwise I will be confused by her sooner or later by myself.

After all, I have only just been saved, and my foundation in the truth is not stable. She always talks about things in the spiritual world, and I think it has a bad influence on me.

I have some intuitions about the spiritual world, and I don’t want to know too much about the mysteries there, because everything that God hasn’t explained in detail is basically very problematic, and knowing too much is not good for me.If there is anything I need to know, the Lord will tell me, and I don't need to spend too much energy on those illusory things.

I want to take her to church now.

I'm divorced, but the divorce itself didn't do much damage to my life.Since my divorce, my life has naturally centered around the Lord and around the church.It is only on very rare and occasional nights that I remember the bits and pieces of the past, but those things are gradually forgotten under the protection of the Lord.I slowly left the depressed state where I would cry when I watched the Deyun Society video, and became a happy, lively and normal child again. Thank you and praise the Lord!

I was desperate to do something for the Lord, and my heart was full of fire to serve the Lord.

I hope that Mu Yun has a solid foundation, and I hope she can really be saved and stop swaying.One day I asked her, "Where are you partying now?"

"I'm in City S, and I don't have a permanent church for now."

"I'm also in City S!"

"Really? Is it such a coincidence? I think maybe God really put us together."

"Do you want to visit our church this week?"

"Okay. Then I will leave a contact information for you."

I glanced at the name on the phone number, and I couldn't help asking her again: "Isn't this the name your master gave you? It's like the Taoist name in that sect."

"No, I have another name in the sect, but you can't tell others your name casually, because in the spirit world, it would be dangerous for people to know your name in the spirit world. Although I know you have no malice, But I don't think I'll tell you."

"It's okay, I'm not curious. I will send you the time and place of our meeting, and I will wait for you in the subway when the time comes."

"it is good."

In sister Zhao's church, there are basically old people, and Mu Yun is the first girl who is similar to my age.I am not only curious about her age and name, but also about her life experience.

In modern society, a person who cultivates immortality, why is this matter so mysterious?

Mu Yun also likes to play the zither, Hanfu, tea ceremony, and incense ceremony. She is also a member of the Big Four law firms.These experiences are enough to package her to a level that I look forward to.

In my imagination, Mu Yun is a woman with a fairy air and ancient style, maybe like Xiaolongnv, cold as ice and smart.

I was a little nervous about meeting someone like that, and I was a little scared that I'd mess things up myself.Because during that time, Mu Yun didn't know what she had experienced, and she was always vacillating about Christianity and cultivating immortals. I was afraid that she would eventually leave the Lord's salvation because of me.So I hurriedly dragged her into the church, I was afraid that she would go back to cultivating immortals after wandering around.

How should I pray for her?

In the subway, I paced back and forth.

I am full of expectations for such a meeting, because I used to write novels. Although I am not very good at writing Xiuxian, I like to read them very much.How can people not be full of expectations if they have the opportunity to meet such a real person today?

But she is so strong, I feel that there is no way to lead her with my ability, so I prayed for her: "Lord, please bring the person Mu Yun needs to the church, it must be the person she needs .”

There were very few people at the subway station, and I carefully watched everyone who came out of the subway.Finally, a person met my gaze, and she walked up to me politely and asked me, "Are you Lin Xiao?"

"Are you Mu Yun?"

I was very disappointed.Even if Mu Yun in my heart does not have the beauty of Xiaolongnv, she still has the sense of mystery of Mu Wanqing. Sometimes I still hope that she is as smart and astute as Huang Rong.

But the character who came was an ordinary girl with a fleshy face and eyes as dull as the old wife Jacob didn't like.

I was afraid that my disappointed eyes would make people feel impolite, so I quickly led her to the church, and our chat along the way was quite cordial.

As soon as she entered the church, Mu Yun showed a pride that made me feel very strange. She said to me quietly: "I have a feeling, why do I feel that no one here feels like you?"

"What do you mean?" I asked quietly.

"I can't explain the feeling. You also know that I can sense it. I just felt it a little bit. I felt that there was a black thing inside Qian Junru, which was very dirty. I felt that Sister Zhao's face was so strange. My feeling is also dark. Others are very wooden. Only you still have the appearance of a child of God."

"It's not that exaggerated, is it?" I actually didn't quite believe what she said.

"Don't you have this feeling? It seems that only you and I belong to the same country."

I have a lot of seriousness about the word "kingdom", because that night I heard "the kingdom of darkness" with my own ears. Since there is darkness, there is light. From that night on, I began to know that there is Such a thing as spiritual warfare.

But I don't like what Mu Yun said, and I don't want to pick it up.I asked her, "How did you feel?"

Mu Yun put on a very profound expression, and said to me: "It takes a long time to practice, and many of our brothers and sisters have done this kind of cultivation. You have just entered Christianity, so you should study the "Bible". stuff, you don't need to learn."

I didn't buy it, and said to her: "I didn't even think about learning it. My dad used to practice Qigong, and he said he had seen his own golden body. At that time, I wasn't interested in his stuff either." .”

"His kind of knowledge is still shallow."

"My father's master said he was very qualified. He didn't sleep every night to practice at that time, but unfortunately he became obsessed. I heard that his master is better than him, and he can float in the air in the middle of the night."

"Yo, then his master still has some skills. But these are not considered high-end for us. You can't see the real masters from the surface, and you may not be able to see them when they are around you. They look like a Very ordinary people. Many sects of cultivating immortals don’t even bother to talk to ordinary people, so people outside you don’t understand us.”

Mu Yun's words really touched my heart. To be honest, I really can't see how deep her skills are from the outside. I still miss the beauty in ancient costumes in my imagination.

When Big Brother Sun came, I was already quite pleasantly surprised.Because I prayed to Mu Yun, in my heart, Brother Sun is the best candidate I have chosen.

As soon as Brother Sun opened the door, he smiled and said to everyone: "Brothers and sisters are safe!"

When I saw Big Brother Sun, I was really happy, because the right candidate in my mind is Big Brother Sun. I hope that Big Brother Sun can have a good chat with Mu Yun, and maybe he can pull her back from the wrong road.I thought Big Brother Sun was the one I prayed for Mu Yun.

But I didn't expect Brother Sun to step aside, and another person stood up behind him.That man was tall and burly, with a solemn expression, and glanced around among us.

Brother Sun said: "Today I brought a new brother to us. He is very accomplished in Hebrew. He opened a church near us recently. I invited him here today."

The brothers and sisters whispered to each other, and I was more delighted than others.Because I prayed that for Mu Yun, Brother Sun brought in a new brother, and I excitedly said to Mu Yun, "This should be the person God brought to you."

Mu Yun was puzzled: "Why did God bring him here?"

"I don't know either. Just now I was praying for you in the subway, asking God to bring someone you need, and a new brother came."

"I don't like this person very much, including Brother Sun." Mu Yun shook his head.Her reaction disappointed me.

"Brothers and sisters are well." The man greeted everyone, including me.

Brother Sun's face looks very kind, which is the image of a Christian in other people's minds.But this new brother has sharp eyes and wears the glasses of the gangster Big Brother Sun. When he is not smiling, he always gives me the feeling that he can pull out a gun at any time.

Brother Sun said that when the brother came to us for the first time, he asked him to give us some testimonies or words of encouragement, so that Qian Junru would not be on the podium. She gave up her seat on the podium and sat down with others.

The brother glanced at the crowd again, and he smiled and said, "Brother Sun didn't say anything, and I wasn't even prepared, so I'll tell everyone about my personal testimony of salvation.

Many years ago, I was in prison and I was a felon.At that time my wife had already believed in the Lord, and she was very desperate for me.That church prayed for me by name, and I have been praying for eight years. My wife has been completely disappointed in me. She thinks it is impossible for me to believe in God anymore.I remember that at that time she kept preaching the gospel to me, hoping that I would repent in prison, but I ignored her at all. Later, she was so desperate for me that she cursed me to my face: 'you will go to hell. '

At that time, I was arrested for committing a crime, but I didn't feel that committing a crime was a wrong thing at all. I relied on my own righteousness.When I was being interrogated, I kept my mouth shut because I felt like I was doing something for my brothers.Later they refused to give me water, so I endured it all the time.

Without drinking water, we can't imagine how uncomfortable it is.That was the first time I couldn't bear it because of thirst. I never thought that I could take the knife for my brother. I can do many brave things, but not giving me water can break me down. .Even so, I still didn't open my mouth... In the end, they had nothing to do with me and sent me back to prison.

At that time, someone came to visit me in the prison, and they were church workers hired by my wife to preach the gospel to me.At that time, I still didn’t want to listen, and I didn’t bother to talk to these people who believed in Jesus.But I don’t know why, that day, that person came to me and read this passage from the Bible.Can you guess which passage of the Bible saved me? "

The brother's face was flushed, his eyes sparkled with excitement, and he looked around expecting us to speak.

But how do we know what scriptures the Lord will use to save Him?

When his sharp eyes swept towards me, I couldn't help avoiding it.

A few brothers and sisters tried to guess, and the brother who testified shook his head and said, “That man read to me the Gospel, the scriptures of the Lord Jesus suffering on the cross. When he was reading, I didn’t know I was listening, but I didn’t reply to his words, but those words seemed to drill into my head like magic. When I heard the Lord Jesus say ‘I’m thirsty’ on the cross, I couldn’t help but burst into tears. Flow down.

At that time, I accepted the Lord Jesus’ salvation for me. It was because I suffered that I truly felt the price the Lord paid for my sins.Since then, my whole life has changed.After I got out of prison, I studied ancient Hebrew with my Bible teacher, and I also studied theology. Now I am mainly engaged in marriage ministry.If there are young brothers and sisters among the brothers and sisters who need my service, please contact me. "

Compared with the brother's own salvation testimony, I am more concerned about why the Lord brought this brother into the church, because the result of my prayer for Mu Yun, I think it is this brother.But I didn't see where this brother was useful to Mu Yun.

"You should communicate with him more, because he is really the one who the Lord brought to the church after I prayed for you." I said to Mu Yun.

"I really don't feel it, I don't think it's him. And I really don't like him." Mu Yun flatly rejected me.

We have a lunch gathering every week, and it is rare that Mu Yun and another new brother are here today, so of course we have to gather even more.

During the dinner, the brother asked me before the dishes were served, "How old are you? Are you married?"

When I heard the question "how old are you and are you married?", I was really terrified. I remembered the scene of being "trialed" at the dinner table of relatives every Chinese New Year.But now that I've learned how to behave, I immediately said, "I'm married."

"Oh." He immediately lost interest in me, turned around and asked Mu Yun, "What about you?"

Mu Yun said, "I'm a post-90s generation, and I'm not married yet."

"Okay, what's your name, add me on WeChat after dinner, and I'll introduce you if I find a suitable one. If you want to change jobs, you can also come to me."

Mu Yun immediately said, "Okay, I just want to change jobs recently."

I think it's good to hear that the two of them can chat. On the one hand, I also want to avoid other people's further questions about my marital status.

So I left them and joined someone else's chat.

I am very relieved to hand Mu Yun over to this new brother, because I think his testimony of repentance is true. Only those who are saved know the whole story, and other people are like a ghost, even after hearing such testimonies, they still don’t understand it.

□□In the middle of the process, the brother suddenly got up and shouted: "Why is there no wine?"

liqueur?

I'm disgusted that something like this appears on the dining table.

However, who am I?I have no say at all here.

They quickly bought wine. Apart from the new brother, two unbelieving men who accompanied his wife to the party, and You Yan, a total of four people drank at the banquet.Others have the same attitude as me, against drinking, but they can't hold back those who want to drink.

After drinking for three rounds, the new brother began to speak incoherently. With a strong smell of alcohol, he began to talk about the things he had experienced.

Speaking of righteous indignation, he suddenly stood up and said: "You have to follow my previous temper. It's no wonder I don't let him kill such a bastard. I'm also a well-known person in the Jianghu. I have many brothers under my command." However, since I believe in the Lord now, I don’t care about him like that. I think those of us who believe in Jesus are also suffering a bit, but we can’t be as straightforward as before. I feel that God’s restraint on me is worse than prison sharp."

This brother is like this, and it is even more exaggerated among the two unbelievers. One of them blushed and said to You Yan: "Why are you so fussy with us rough people? In my eyes You are a mermaid, you look at such a beautiful mermaid, you shouldn't have the same knowledge as us men."

If it is another sister, they may be concerned that the person who is speaking is drunk, or they may not want to make a fuss about the scene.

But what kind of person is You Yan?As soon as she heard this, she immediately put down her wine glass and yelled at the unbeliever in front of everyone: "XXX, do you think it's appropriate for you to say such things in God's house? Your wife is still by your side, you The child is still with you, do you think it is appropriate to say this to me? I want you to apologize to me now!"

Originally, the banquet was noisy, and everyone gathered around the table to talk about their own things.

But You Yan suddenly broke the noise of the banquet, and the whole party became so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Sister Zhao stood up quickly and walked over to smooth things over: "What are you doing? What does it look like to be making a big noise? What does it look like for outsiders to hear? Who proposed to drink today? Well, don't bother anymore." Drink it. Go outside and calm down by yourself, don't make such a noise in front of children."

The drunk unbeliever came to pick up his wife, and he brought his child along with him.Now everyone suddenly made such a fuss, and the child was so frightened that he threw himself into his mother's arms.

While covering the child's ears, the sister burst into tears.

Seeing his wife crying, seeing You Yan getting angry, and seeing the posture in front of him, the unbeliever was subdued on the spot, and he smiled and said to You Yan: "Oh, it's not like you don't know my mouth, I It's just nonsense, it's just a joke."

You Yan was aggressive: "Can you make this kind of joke? Your wife is still by your side, and your son is still by your side. Why do you say these dirty words to me?"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. I apologize to you, I apologize to my wife and son, and I apologize to all of you, okay? I polluted your ears. We don't drink anymore, we all It's the wine. I'll put it away, okay?"

Thank God, the four wine bottles were finally taken away, but the atmosphere of the whole party suddenly became weird, and then everyone quickly ended the sex and got it done hastily.
