敬虔熾熱的禱告-為國家
但9
為自己的國家祈禱
最嚴重的罪: 不聽從神的話
then 不忠,以別的代替耶和華
then 偏離己路
finally 背叛
約33:遵行神的命令,得祝福; vice versa 受curse
神的公義從來到都是認真的,如一的,不會減少的
神的公義亦已一早說明
punishment is also 神公義的結果
但神有大憐憫
求你不要因我的軟弱而阻礙你的榮耀
2x7, 6x7, 70x7 神的計畫比人的禱告更闊更廣
神掌管歷史

為甚麼我忙至不能祈禱?
雅各書 第四章: 1-10 節
約翰壹書 第二章: 16-17節
16. 因為凡世界上的事,就像肉體的情慾,眼目的情慾,並今生的驕傲,都不是從父來的,乃是從世界來的。
17. 這世界和其上的情慾都要過去,惟獨遵行神旨意的,是永遠常存。
18. 小子們哪,如今是末時了。你們曾聽見說,那敵基督的要來;現在已經有好些敵基督的出來了,從此我們就知道如今是末時了。
情慾: 慾望勝過神
雅各書 第四章
4. 你們這些淫亂的人(原文作:淫婦)哪,豈不知與世俗為友就是與神為敵嗎﹖所以凡想要與世俗為友的,就是與神為敵了。
淫亂: 人的心轉向邢惡
想: 主動
1. 你們中間的爭戰鬥毆是從哪裡來的呢﹖不是從你們百體中戰鬥之私慾來的嗎﹖
2. 你們貪戀,還是得不著;你們殺害嫉妒,又鬥毆爭戰,也不能得。你們得不著,是因為你們不求。
與神為友
雅各書 第一章
17. 各樣美善的恩賜和各樣全備的賞賜都是從上頭來的,從眾光之父那裡降下來的;在他並沒有改變,也沒有轉動的影兒。
-厚賜百物的上帝,連兒子也賜給我們
-神願意我們向他求,不是按自己情慾
-先求他的國和他的義
-羅14:17 因為神的國不在乎吃喝,只在乎公義、和平,並聖靈中的喜樂。
-求的動機是榮耀神嗎
-真正的祈禱不是功能性的,是關係
