Blood Sword
Profile of the 7th Taiwan KRC Cultural Practice Camp 2015
With the theme of "Understanding the Times and Obeying the Lord's Will", the 7th Taiwan Divine Resource Cultural Practice Camp was successfully completed from October 9 to 11, 2015 at the "Star of David Hot Spring Resort" in Jiaoxi, Yilan. This article specifically quotes Mr. Su Wen'an's well-known martial arts metaphor, using the interesting mode of dialogue between two generations of swordsmen to profile the content and results of this year's two major workshops, called "The Blood Sword."
When the sword of tears comes out, it points directly at the heart;
The bloody sword is ready, and those who believe in it are invincible.
"Before my partner and I believed in the Lord, we were once divorced. Although we later believed in the Lord one after another, the process of seeking reconciliation was still very difficult. Until one time, near our former home, God allowed me to see a beautiful rainbow... "
Why did a daughter-in-law from Harbin who kept a distance from her husband's family make a complete change and help her mother-in-law cook, peel grapes, and massage her feet? Just for one sentence: Jesus, you are so interesting, I live for you and listen to your words!
At a dinner full of expectations, the future mother-in-law expressed her position in front of everyone: "Don't hold the wedding in the church." As a Christian, what should I do? The key is the coordination of the fiancé. A letter to turn the situation around contains three "literary sword skills" of honoring parents, respecting oneself, and praising the woman...
"The strongest thing in the world is not martial arts moves, but true stories. Through stories, people can change their minds, turn enemies into friends, and change lives. Perhaps, this is the real invincibility." Hero Su Wen'an caressed Long sword, come on.
"What the seniors said is true," I said respectfully. "Every tear shared by the participants in the 'Family Story Workshop' and the shock in the hearts of the audience reminded me of a sentence in the Bible: 'How many times have I been homeless? , you all count; please put my tears in your wine bag..." Not only the three paragraphs mentioned above, but in fact, each person's sharing is like a "sword of tears", pointing directly at the heart, almost There is no way to win without a move."
"But young hero, if you don't have a move, you have a move, but that doesn't mean that the moves are completely useless." Su Daxia said.
"Of course," I said, "what impresses me deeply is the pattern of your written swordsmanship, with the "Bible/Holy Spirit" in the center, which means that the truth of the Bible and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit are the basis of creation. On the right are four tips, which means that when writing any article, you must ask: Who is saying it? How to say it? "
"Oh? I didn't expect the young hero to mention this basic move."
"Thousands of swords are inseparable from their sect. If you practice the basic moves to the extreme, you will be able to open the door with gold and stone." As I said this, I opened my posture. "To remind me from time to time, I still remember the training methods of my seniors. When I touch the top of my head, it will be "Who is talking about that?" "; A palm move with the left arm: "What to say?"; A sword move with the right arm: "How to say it?"; Then a slap towards the Dantian means "To whom?"
"The young hero has this realization and his knowledge is extraordinary."
"Senior is very complimentary. I am asking for your favor today. I will record it into a sword manual so that all the masters in the Kingdom of God can benefit from it. Could you please demonstrate two moves, senior?"
"Okay! The first step is that in a wonderful story, what the protagonist wants is difficult to obtain. For example, if you write a testimony about God helping someone overcome adversity, you must first use words to manage the details and tell the reader this How difficult it is to face "adversity", and then talk about how God leads him to breakthrough. Only in this way can readers be shocked and fear God's wonder."
"Senior, this move seems to be related to the 'Beyond Adversity Workshop' held at the same place."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
"You teach writing and swordsmanship in the family story workshop. You work hard day and night. Naturally, you don't know what is happening on the other side. Wansheng has heard some things. For example, an elder, Mr. Zhao Zhongfu, said that he did a lot before he believed in the Lord. He felt guilty, but later he believed in the Lord and determined to change. However, he had a great adversity. His left eye had been injured for 20 years, and it was very difficult to read the Bible.
A friend told him that he could apply for a disability certificate and subsidy, but it would require a certificate from a major hospital, so he went to Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. Unexpectedly, the doctor said that if his eyes were replaced with corneas, his eyes would still be saved!
However, this is difficult because corneal donation applications in China have to be queued up slowly. Unexpectedly, within a month, Mr. Zhao’s wife received a phone call. At first she thought it was a scam, but later she found out it was true. Mr. Zhao arrived at the hospital alone and found that as long as he asked his family to sign, he could have surgery immediately, and even the bed had been reserved. Now that he has regained his light, he has subscribed to the "Daily Bible Study and Explanation" for a year and studied it every day. What a blessing from God! "
"It's a wonderful testimony of overcoming adversity," Su Daxia said, "So the students in the other workshop must have gained a lot?"
"Yes, and the experience is very special. Brother Zhang Yaowen said that the Quaker Phoebe Church in Taiwan has relatively limited resources, so they used this cultural camp as a retreat for the whole church, and more than half of their members came to participate , and found that it was very consistent with the church’s vision! He and his wife struggled at first because it was rare to have three consecutive days off. Later, the couple participated in two workshops and gained a lot. "
"Oh? So, in this 'Transcending Adversity Workshop', KRC's leader Gao Lili taught him a lifelong secret?"
“It’s so rich that we can’t finish talking about it,” I said. “The testimony of Director Gao is a great encouragement to the students. When one person believes in the Lord, the whole family is saved. Starting from her great-grandfather, Pastor Gao Chang, the entire Gao family has been in adversity. Because his faith has completely changed. Brother Zhang Yaowen said that since his parents believed in the Lord and now he has children, he has been a Christian for three generations, and he also hopes to meet others. "
"Where is Lin Yuanshang, the other teacher from the 'Beyond Adversity Workshop'?"
"In addition to his wonderful concepts in management, the correct definition of "success" is one of his key points. Most people in the world think that reaching a certain status is success, but leaving it is nothing! But Elder Lin was at the age of forty-five The student was very touched by his decision not to be a general manager but to serve God with better strength!”
"Good, good! What a great way to succeed in the Kingdom of God." Su Daxia praised, "In fact, whether it is about overcoming adversity or family stories, they all have a common spirit. I want to use "wound → entrance → exit" as a metaphor for true faith. Through obedient people, every wound in life is an entrance to God’s power and love; and after being renewed and healed, it can become an outlet to share God’s miraculous grace!”
"Perhaps we can use the words of student Brother David Yu to conclude. None of us live or die for ourselves. Jesus Christ shed his precious blood on the cross and has completed salvation. If we accept it by faith, we can overcome all adversities. This is grace. Late birth and lack of talent can be summed up in a sword formula: Once the bloody sword is completed, those who believe in it are invincible."
"The precious blood of Jesus achieves salvation. You and I hold the sword of the Holy Spirit, which is the Word of God. We can use words and testimonies to serve the Kingdom of God!" Su Daxia said with a smile, "After you have finished writing this sword manual, you might as well name it: Blood Sword, how about it?" "Thank you, senior, for the name!"
