We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Unction is the sweetest exhalation of the Holy Spirit. It carries the Word like dynamite, like salt, like sugar; makes the Word a soother, an accuser, a revealer, a searcher; makes the hearer a culprit or a saint, makes him weep like a child and live like a giant; opens his heart and his purse as gently, yet as strongly as the spring opens the leaves. This unction is not the gift of genius. It is not found in the hall of learning. No eloquence can woo it. No industry can win it. It is the gift of God - the signet set to His own messengers. It is heaven’s knighthood given to the chosen true and brave ones who have sought this anointed honor through many an hour of tearful, wrestling prayer. Earnestness is good and impressive; genius is gifted and great. Thought kindles and inspires, but it takes a diviner endowment, a more powerful energy than earnestness or genius or thought to break the chains of sin, to win estranged and depraved hearts to God, to repair the breaches and restore the church to her old ways of purity and power. Nothing but holy unction can do this.

Bible – chinese – 新标点和合本 何西阿书 12

12
以法莲吃风,且追赶东风,
时常增添虚谎和强暴,
亚述立约,把油送到埃及
 
耶和华与犹大争辩,
必照雅各所行的惩罚他,
按他所做的报应他。
他在腹中抓住哥哥的脚跟,
壮年的时候与 神较力,
4-5 与天使较力,并且得胜,
哭泣恳求,
伯特利遇见耶和华。
耶和华—万军之 神在那里晓谕我们 以色列人;
耶和华是他可记念的
所以你当归向你的 神,
谨守仁爱、公平,常常等候你的 神。
其他的判词
以法莲是商人,
手里有诡诈的天平,爱行欺骗。
以法莲说:
我果然成了富足,得了财宝;
我所劳碌得来的,
人必不见有什么不义,可算为罪的。
自从你出埃及地以来,
我就是耶和华—你的 神;
我必使你再住帐棚,如在大会的日子一样。
 
10 我已晓谕众先知,
并且加增默示,
借先知设立比喻。
11  基列人没有罪孽吗?
他们全然是虚假的。
人在吉甲献牛犊为祭,
他们的祭坛好像田间犁沟中的乱堆。
12 从前雅各逃到亚兰地,
以色列为得妻服事人,
为得妻与人放羊。
13 耶和华借先知领以色列埃及上来;
以色列也借先知而得保存。
14  以法莲大大惹动怒,
所以他流血的罪必归在他身上。
主必将那因以法莲所受的羞辱归还他。
