代下:6:18-42
所羅門繼續為著百姓向神禱告。這殿是你應許立為你名的居所。
願1)晝夜看顧這殿,垂聽僕人的禱告祈求
凡在此禱告,向聖殿的方向禱告的2)赦免罪,公義彰顯,定是非 3)被神懲罰的蒙赦免罪 4)受災禍甚苦的,無論舉手、祈求蒙垂聽赦免 4)外邦人來禱告的也蒙垂聽,使神的名萬民都認識 5)出外爭戰禱告,得勝6)因得罪神而被仇敵擄去被擄之地,回心轉意,認罪悔改,盡心服事神,赦免過犯,為他們伸冤。
祈求神起來和神有能力約櫃同入安息之所-聖殿。願祭司披上救恩,你的聖民蒙福歡樂,不要厭棄你的受膏者,記念向僕人大衛所施的慈愛。
Why?
神的能力在這聖殿中,所以凡向這殿祈求禱告的人都蒙垂聽,赦罪。
赦罪遠比蒙成就禱告重要。人受苦難多是因為自己的罪。
無論是否為以色列人或外邦人,神看人心不看人的種族
求神起來,arise,進入安息之地-聖殿。神已經來到地上?所以說起來
祭司披上救恩,才能進入聖殿,祭司仍然是人,不能見神所以要有救恩
How?
如果是我,我會如何禱告?為誰禱告,為百姓禱告。但是包括那些情形下求神垂聽。我可能疏忽的是外邦人,被擄的人,出外爭戰的人。
神有赦罪之恩,這是最重要的事,勝過事情成就。我的禱告祈求什麼?

Why didn't Jesus accept the devil's offer of ruling all the kingdoms of the world right away? He could have avoided the cross. But that would have gone against God's plan for Him- to give His life on the corss, to be resurrected , and to sit at the Father's right hand in His kingdom. Satan's offer of a shortcut was no deal at all.
Whenever you are offered a shortcut to happiness, watch out to see who's behind the casher's counter!
The best way to escape temptations is to run to God.
