恢復第3天 挪去的過程使你更新

在修復的過程中，無論是多麼的毀壞，上帝都會接納並使之更新。祂想要重塑你這個器皿，使其充滿新酒-喜樂、能力、榮耀和信心的新酒澆灌下來。使你成為新酒皮袋，祂需要你浸泡在祂的話語裡及被祂的膏油塗抹。膏油塗抹是這個過程的一部分讓你對未來更加柔韌靈敏。我們經歷的那些艱難事情是祂的膏油塗抹在我們身上。
這些油也包含了新的恩膏。當我們讓聖靈來帶領我們經歷了膏抹的過程，我們不僅變得更加靈敏去承接從上帝的意念而來的澆灌，我們更能多多地湧流出神的恩膏來。修復之前必須有個修剪的過程。
上帝要挪去的其中一件事是"律法"。大部分的基督徒會驚訝他們平時接受並生活在律法的之中。簡單的說，律法狹隘了我們的思維能力到一個地步使我們無法明白上帝的心意。律法已經深深的扎根並影響了人類的判斷能力，而不是擁有一個被上帝恩典和愛充滿的心態。律法常常帶來驕傲和不信。在加拉太人當中，律法就相當於巫術。保羅提醒加拉太人他們曾經在主裡熱心。他們憑著信心在主裡成長。他問加拉太人是什麼迷惑了他們？換句話說，是誰使他們的思想僵化到一個地步無法領受神的恩惠？是誰給他們帶來律法？
當上帝是被緊鎖在箱子裡，我們的修復就不能夠被釋放。我們必須讓上帝挪去我們裡面的律法，信仰裡面固執的思想。
例如，在你的生命中／你的家庭／你所居住的城市有沒有一些情況看上去無法改變？哪些行為模式深深嵌入而無法擺脫它們？
如果答案是‘是的’，那麼你正被律法轄制思維。
我們說在神沒有難成的事，但是我們真的相信祂是無所不能的嗎？當我們無法真實的相信時，我們就有了一個律法，被迷惑的思維模式轄制了神的作為。求問神顯明你深藏的律法思想，然後願意讓這些舊營壘瓦解。讓全新的信提升我們。這就是成為柔韌新酒袋的關鍵。
上帝也要挪去自我的定罪。撒旦是撒謊者和強盜。牠常常欺騙我們在上帝心裡的位置從而偷取上帝要恢復我們的心意。牠最善用的攻擊伎倆就是提醒信徒生命中的失敗或家族裡的失敗，使他們不斷在自疚中打轉，他們會說：“上帝無法恢復我因為我….離婚，墮胎，外遇，欺騙朋友，拿了不該拿的，（請填上你能想到的）。”這些都是謊言！
你不需要穿戴這些舊衣裳。這個惡性的循環可以被破除。和上帝重新的和好並且原諒自己將打破魔鬼想讓罪惡感籠罩你的計謀。
Jack Hayford說：”當你和上帝的關係被恢復，你的罪惡就會毫無意義並且在你生命中沒有任何的地位。要放下並且拒絕它重新佔據你的思維和情感。”
讓聖靈用上帝的饒恕和潔淨來更新你。這是另外一個更新酒袋的關鍵使之能承接恢復的酒。
上帝挪去了審判。正如我們必須挪去自我定罪，因此我們也必須挪走給別人定罪。因撒種和收割的定律，如果我們定罪別人我們也將受到被定罪。更糟糕的是，聖經上說當我們定別人的罪時，我們也有陷入同樣罪的危險。不要被愚弄。我們不在審判的位置上。審判會帶來嚴重的屬靈上分歧，且有能力阻止我們進入恢復。
（以賽亞書58）說如果你禁食禱告，就讓上帝來指引你（是心甘樂意的），不做指摘人的指頭及往前看的時候，祂會開始速速點亮你的光，你的醫治也就要發生。你要容許神帶領你進入祂為你所預備的豐盛。這也是潔淨酒袋以準備承接新酒的一部份。
Restoration Day 3
Restoration Day 3: The Process of Removal will make you Become New
In the restorative process, God takes what is there, no matter how damaged, and makes something new. He wants to remake your vessel and pour within you a new wine filled with joy, strength, glory and faith. To make your present wineskin new, He wants to soaks you in the water of the Word and rub you with the anointing. Rubbing in the oil is the part of the process that makes you flexible for the future. Those hard things we go through are the oil that He rubs into us.
And that oil also contains a new anointing. As we allow the Holy Spirit to take us through the process of rubbing, we not only become more flexible so that we can handle all God desires to pour into us, but weal so become able to pour out in a greater measure. There is a process of removal before restoration occurs.
One of the things the LORD removes is legalism. Most Christians would be greatly surprised to learn how many legalistic structures they have embraced. Simply put, legalism is narrowing all of our mind processes down to the point that we can’t receive the mind of God. Rather than having a mindset that is saturated in His grace and love, legalism is a mindset that is steeped in man’s judgment and control. Legalism always leads to pride and unbelief. In Galatians, legalism is even equated with witchcraft. Paul reminds the Galatians that they were doing great. They were having a good time, growing n the Lord and walking in faith. Then he asks who has bewitched them? In other words, who narrowed their minds down to such a degree that they were no longer able to receive the grace of God? Who brought legalism into their midst?
Our restoration cannot be released while God is tightly locked in a box. We must allow the Lord to remove our legalistic, religiously rigid mindsets.
For example, is there a situation in your life, in your family or in your city that seems completely unchangeable? Are behavioral patterns so deeply entrenched that nothing could shake them loose?
If the answer is yes, then you are dealing with alegalistic mindset.
We say nothing is impossible with God, but do we really believe nothing is impossible with God?
In every area where we do not have this heart felt assurance, we have a legalistic, bewitching structure that narrows God.
Ask the Lord to reveal hidden places of legalism in your mind, and then be willing to let those old structures fall to the ground. Allow new faith to rise up within you. This is a key to becoming flexible wineskins.
The LORD also removes condemnation. Satan is a liar and a thief. He lies to us about our position with God in order to steal there storation God has for us. One of his favorite tactics is to bombard believers with reminders of personal failures or failures in their generations to the point where they wear around a sticky garment of condemnation and guilt.
They say things such as, “God can’t restore me because I . . . am divorced, had an abortion, had an affair, lied about a friend, took what was not mine, (fill in the blank).” These are lies! You don’t have to wear that old garment. The cycle of the past can end. Getting right with God and then forgiving yourself will break the schemes the devil intended to use to keep you draped in a shroud of guilt, no matter what you’ve done.
Jack Hayford writes, “And once your relationship with God is restored, your guilt has served its purpose and no longer has any place in your life. Let it go. And refuse its argument to regain any place in tormenting your mind or your feelings.”
Let the Holy Spirit soak you in His cleansing waters of forgiveness and renewal. This is another key to renewing the wineskin that will hold the wine of restoration.
The LORD removes judgmentalism. Just as we must put away our own condemnation, so must we put away condemning others through judgmentalism. Because of the law of sowing and reaping, we really can’t fully do one without the other. If we condemn others, we will be condemned. And what’s worse, the Bible says that we too become dangerously susceptible to falling into the same sin we accuse others of.
Don’t be fooled. We are not to sit in judgment. Judgmentalism has serious spiritual ramifications and has the power to keep us from entering into restoration.
Isaiah 58 says that if you will pray and fast, and let God determine the fast for you (don’t do it religiously), and if you’ll put away the pointing of that finger and looking outward, He will begin to break forth your light and your healing will spring up. Allow that process of God to bring you into the fullness He has for you. This, too, is part of making the wineskin clean and ready for the new wine.
