親愛的弟兄姊妹們，
當我默想帖心牧師先知的話語，特別是預言結束的部分時，神向我們宣示，「喜悅611」有一個特殊的標誌，就是牧養。這不僅僅是一兩位弟兄姊妹的責任，而是我們眾人共同的事工。牧養並非短暫的行為，而是持續不斷的關懷。若說牧養是我們的標誌，那實際上是兄姊妹生命的流露，就如同耶穌的愛在基督徒身上成為標誌。
回想起我昔日蒙召的時刻，神呼叫我看到世上並不存在完美的教會。我默然認同，祂告訴我可以來牧養祂的羊，猶如神呼召以賽亞先知時所說：「你去告訴這百姓說：你們聽是要聽見，卻不明白；看是要看見，卻不曉得。」（賽 6:9）神的心意是只要我們忠心侍奉，神將負責到底。
在這個世界上，沒有一個人是不值得被牧養的，也沒有一個人是不需要被關懷的。讓我們在迎接2024新年的時候，向神奉獻一個新的心志，立志起來成為小組長，更深入地投入牧養的責任中。
讓我們攜手迎接新的一年，讓牧養成為我們的生命標誌。願每一個弟兄姊妹都能在牧養中彰顯耶穌的愛，為教會帶來更多的溫暖和關懷。感謝神的呼召，我們信靠祂的引導，邁向更加豐盛的牧養旅程。
願神的恩典和平安與您同在，
嚴偉儀傳道
Dear brothers and sisters,
When I meditated on the words of Pastor Debora’s prophet, especially the end part of the prophecy, God declared to us that “Favor 611” has a special sign, which is pastoral care. This is not just the responsibility of one or two brothers and sisters, but the common ministry of all of us. Pastoral care is not a temporary act but an ongoing act of care. If pastoral care is our hallmark, it is actually the outpouring of the lives of brothers and sisters, just as the love of Jesus becomes the hallmark of Christians.
Thinking back to the time of my calling, God called me to see that there is no perfect church in the world. I silently agreed, and He told me to come and shepherd His sheep, just as God said when he called the prophet Isaiah: "Go and tell this people: Hear to hear, but not understand; see to see, But they do not know it.” (Isaiah 6:9) God’s intention is that as long as we serve faithfully, God will be responsible to the end.
In this world, there is no one who is not worthy of being pastored, and there is no one who does not need to be cared for. When we welcome the New Year of 2024, let us dedicate a new resolution to God, resolve to become a small group leader, and devote ourselves more deeply to the pastoral responsibility.
Let us join hands to welcome the new year and make pastoral care the hallmark of our lives. May every brother and sister be able to demonstrate the love of Jesus in pastoral care and bring more warmth and care to the church. Thanks to God’s call, we trust in His guidance and move toward a richer pastoral journey.
May God’s grace and peace be with you,
Pastor Joseph

在眾多人際關係中，唯有夫妻關係最難處理，或許因為大家無法向對方隱藏，天天朝夕相見。若其中存在欺騙對方的行為，久必侵蝕關係，最終可能以離異告終，即便在教會中也無法豁免。
然而，當閱讀到神給予喜悅Favor611的預言時，心中特別感恩，因為在預言里明言：「有許多婚姻破碎、艱難的人來到這裡，你們有很強的夫妻恩愛事工，很多很多的夫妻關係在這裡被修復、被重建，很多人有高的學歷，好的工作，可是他們沒辦法搞定他們自己的關係，當他們帶著破碎、絕望，甚至很想離婚來到這裡的時候，神說我借著你們把盼望給人，很多的家庭在這裡被修復，很多的婚姻在這裡被翻轉，神的恩膏、神的能力跟你們同在。」接著一幅由弟兄姊妹手牽著手，圍成一個大圓的圖畫就出現。並且神說：「相愛、合一，看自己看得合乎中道，欣賞人，肯定人，讚美人，讓你的口中常常吐出甜美的活水…」
這不僅是一個預言，也是一個帶著果效的使命，對婚姻沒有盼望的世代說話，神定要使用我們Favor611教會，從被仇敵破壞了的夫妻關係，在這裡重建修復，「男人回家、女人歸正」，重回伊甸園的時刻啓航了。
"In the multitude of interpersonal relationships, the marital relationship stands out as the most challenging, perhaps because there is no hiding between spouses who see each other day in and day out. If deception exists within this relationship, it will inevitably erode the bond, often leading to separation, a fate that even the church cannot exempt.
However, upon reading the prophecy of Favor611 given by Pastor Debora , there is a special sense of gratitude. The prophecy explicitly states, 'Many marriages shattered and troubled individuals come here. You have a strong ministry for marital harmony. Many relationships are repaired and rebuilt here. Many people have high education and good jobs, but they struggle with their own relationships. When they come here with brokenness, despair, and even thoughts of divorce, God says, through you, I bring hope to people. Many families are restored here, many marriages are transformed, and God's anointing and power are with you.'
Following this, an image appears of brothers and sisters holding hands, forming a large circle. God continues, 'Love each other, be united. Examine yourselves to align with the middle path, appreciate people, affirm people, praise people. Let your mouths frequently speak sweet living water...'
This is not just a prophecy but a mission with tangible results, speaking to a generation without hope for marriages. God is determined to use Favor611 Church to rebuild and restore marital relationships that the enemy has destroyed, marking the moment when Men Return Home and Women Realign find their way back to Eden."

感謝神，我們既然得著裝載聖靈之火的籃子，我們就要好好運用這能力，用持續的信心來支取。
帖心牧師就繼續說：
🍎神要將超自然的恩膏賜給你們，
🍎要把先知啟示的恩膏、
🍎醫治釋放的恩膏、
🍎建造別人生命的那份內在醫治的恩膏、
🍎甚至是解經、講道的恩膏、
🍎愛人、慷慨、樂於給予的這份恩膏放在你們的當中，
我們怎樣知道已有這些恩膏呢？答案就在我們的禱告中，神要藉着我們的禱告，神蹟奇事都要發生。
從週刋上的感恩禱告，
崇拜前的守望禱告，
週四的琴與爐，
你們小組中，
家庭裏，
職埸⋯⋯
每一個禱告都帶著屬天的權柄，在地上捆綁的，在天上也捆綁，在地上釋放的，在天上也釋放。
我要宣告：各樣屬靈恩膏要充滿在喜悅Favor611大家庭中，果效要彰顯在衆弟兄姊妹生命裏。
Thank you God. Since we have received the basket containing the fire of the Holy Spirit, we must make good use of this power and draw it with continuous faith.
Pastor Deborah continued:
🍎God will give you supernatural anointing,
🍎Apply the anointing of prophetic revelation,
🍎Healing and deliverance anointing,
🍎The inner healing anointing that builds up other people’s lives,
🍎Even the anointing of Bible exegesis and preaching,
🍎Put this anointing of love, generosity, and willingness to give in your midst,
How do we know we have this anointing? The answer lies in our prayers. God will use our prayers to bring miracles to happen.
From the thanksgiving prayer on last week's bulletin,
Watch and praying before worship,
Thursday’s harp and bowl prayer,
In your cell group,
in the family,
work place ⋯⋯
Every prayer carries heavenly authority. Whatever is bound on earth is bound in heaven, and whatever is set free on earth is set free in heaven.
I want to declare: All kinds of spiritual anointing will be filled in the joyful Favor611 family, and the results will be manifested in the lives of all brothers and sisters.

上期提到「…裏面盛載的卻是一個小嬰孩，⋯隨後這個嬰孩逐漸長大成為成年人，然後在我們中間行走時全身冒火。祂說，要接受聖靈的恩膏，接受聖靈的火，孩子們，要對聖靈渴慕，進入靈裡的追求，靈裡的服事。…」
原來帖心牧師所領受到的，是神賜給「喜悅611」的一個裝載了聖靈之火的籃子。
我在思考：為什麼聖靈要從嬰孩開始呢？神說：因為我們的信心起初都像嬰孩一樣。我突然恍然大悟，Favor611 要用信心與所領受的異象相融合。
「喜悅」從最初的誕生到現在，聖靈提醒我們要注意人際關係，不要急躁行事，欲速不達，要先有愛，才能建立信任，也要真實面對自己，不要過分壓抑，表面上虛偽地裝作一切都好，而內心卻不斷埋怨，這樣只會滋生仇恨。
弟兄姊妹，在跟隨神的道路上，我們必然會遇到各種大小困難，有時會使我們的信心動搖，但困難越大，聖靈的能力就越強。我們是屬於神，是父神所栽種的，必然結出美好的果子，加拉太書5:22-23告訴我們，“聖靈所結的果子就是仁愛、喜樂、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信實、溫柔、節制。”
那麼我們該如何展現這樣的生命呢？敬請期待下期的續篇…
In the last message, it was mentioned that "... inside the basket was a baby, and then this baby gradually grew up to become an adult and walked among us with his whole body on fire. He said that we should receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit, receive the fire of the Holy Spirit. Children, we should have a desire for the Holy Spirit, pursue spiritual ministry, and serve in spiritual matters." It turns out that what Pastor Deborah received was a basket filled with the fire of the Holy Spirit given to "Favor611" by God.
I was thinking: why does the Holy Spirit have to start with a baby? God said: because our faith is like a baby at first. I suddenly realized that Favor611 must integrate faith with the vision received.
"Favor611 " from its birth to now, the Holy Spirit reminds us to pay attention to interpersonal relationships, not to act in haste, but to proceed with love in order to establish trust, and to face our true selves , not to suppress ourselves excessively. Pretending that everything is fine on the surface while constantly complaining inside will only breed hatred.
Brothers and sisters, on the path of following God, we will inevitably encounter various difficulties, which sometimes shake our faith. But the greater the difficulty, the stronger the power of the Holy Spirit. We are God's people, planted by our Heavenly Father, and we will surely bear good fruit. Galatians 5:22-23 tells us that "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."
So how do we demonstrate such life? Please stay tuned for the next issue...

聖經中提到：“沒有異象、民就放肆” (箴言29:17a)。最近我在思考迎接來年的方向時，回顧了帖心牧師為喜悅611所領受的先知預言：一個由天然材料編織的水果籃 🧺，神的雙手把這籃子交到你們當中。
雖然這是一個水果籃，正常情況下裝載各類時令水果；在屬靈方面，它也可以代表福音的果子、聖靈的果子、悔改的果子，總的來說是生命的果子。
在這段思考的時候，聖靈引導我回想我如何對神的呼召作出回應。當時，我向神說：“我知道了！世人都是不完全的，不可能找到一個沒有問題的教會。” 神回應道：“那麼你就為我去牧養吧！” 接著，我繼續問耶穌，我應該作什麼？答案是先接受栽培。
原來，服侍的起點是從領受開始。弟兄姊妹，如果今天你感到枯乾、乏力，讓我們回到神的家，接受祂的遮蓋。真正能改變我們的是神。
至於水果籃內裝了什麼，敬請期待下一期的分享。
The Bible asserts, "Where there is no vision, the people act recklessly" (Proverbs 29:17a). Recently, pondering upom the next year's vision led me to revisit the prophetic message Pastor Deborah received for Favor 611: a fruit basket 🧺 woven with natural materials. God's hands present this basket to you.
While conventionally a basket for assorted seasonal fruits, in spiritual sense, it symbolizes the gospel's fruit, the Holy Spirit's fruit, the fruit of repentance, and broadly, the fruit of life.
During this period of meditation, the Holy Spirit guided me to recall my response to God's call. I had affirmed, "I understand! Imperfection is universal, and finding a flawless church is impossible."Then God responded : "Then go shepherd for me!" Subsequently, I went on to ask Jesus on what next steps to take. The directive was to undergo being equipped first.
Therefore, service commences with receving. Brothers and sisters, if today you feel dry and feeble, let's return to God's home and embrace His shelter. True transformation stems from God alone.
As for the basket's contents, let us find it out in the forthcoming issue.

這些日子，除了主崇以救贖創造為主線，一起對神的慈愛有更深認識，祂做出浩瀚星際，就是為了我們在夜間看到悅目晨星，有晚上有早晨，使我們作息有時。
另一方面，在每天晨禱，我們就進到路加福音裏，領受耶穌的教導，像安息日治病顯明神的愛？浪子回家彰顯慈愛的天父，與及本週我以路加16章1-16提醒我們要對屬天的事要有期待、熱誠，為更多的人能進天國而努力。
正執筆之際，傳來母堂的Facebook 和what’s app 被人盜用帳戶，進行詐騙，慨嘆今世之子，真是無孔不入，我們作為光明之子，真的不能漠視這世代的需要，快快一起傳揚真道，並且生活要靈巧像蛇，馴良像鴿子。
祝福弟兄姊妹靠著聖靈，在教會牧養遮蓋底下，經歷得勝生命。
These days, in addition to focusing on Redemptional Creation in Sunday Service, we have a deeper understanding of God’s love. He created the vast stars just so that we can see the pleasant morning stars at night, and there is evening and morning, so that we can have time to work and rest.
On the other hand, during daily Morning Devotion, we go into the Gospel of Luke and receive the teachings of Jesus, like healing on the Sabbath to show God’s love? The prodigal son returns home to demonstrate the loving Heavenly Father, and this week I use Luke 16 Chapter 1-16 to remind us that we must have expectations and enthusiasm for heavenly things, and work hard so that more people can enter the kingdom of heaven.
As I was writing this article, news came that my mother church's Facebook and What's app accounts had been stolen and committed fraud. I lamented that the children of this world are really pervasive. As children of light, we really cannot ignore the needs of this generation. Let us quickly spread the truth and live together. Be wise as serpents and meek as doves.
Bless the brothers and sisters to rely on the Holy Spirit and experience a life of victory under the pastoral cover of the church.

一連三週，我們都安排了參加生命樹心版十誡特會回來的分享見證：
▫我要在十誡上打𢰦。
▫應從向神傾心吐意開始。
▫讓神的光照亮心中的黑暗混亂。
▫祢，我，他的優次。
盼望您們都感受到611 大家庭的氛圍，「喜悅」雖然只有四歲多，但必藉著母堂和其他分堂的經歷，成為我們的榜樣，使我們雖走着一條從未走過的路，最終必然來到神的面前，並且得着祂的賞賜。
「人非有信，就不能得 神的喜悅，因為到 神面前來的人，必須信有神，且信祂賞賜那尋求祂的人。」來11:6
During our three consecutive Sunday Worship Service, we arranged for brothers and sisters who had returned from participating in the Tree of Life Heartified Commandments conference to share their testimonies：
*I will delve into the meaning of the Ten Commandments.
*We should start by pouring out our hearts to God.
*Let God's light illuminate the darkness and confusion within our hearts.
*You Lord, me, and others, in that order of priority.
We hope that all of you can feel the atmosphere of the 611 big family. Although "Favor 611" is only a little over four years old, through the experiences of Mother
church and other branches whom have become our role model, even though we are walking a path we have never walked before, we will ultimately come before God and receive His rewards.
“And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.”
Hebrews 11:6
