9. Morning Revival 晨晨复兴

1) Q. Do I need to be revived every morning?
A. Every morning, our whole body needs revival. We need to wash our faces, after that all our sluggish feeling is washed away. This proves that every morning the human body needs a renewal.

A. The period of time that needs to be redeemed the most is six to seven o’clock in the morning. During this hour, every minute is precious. We have to redeem this time.

3) Q. Why do I need to be revived in the morning?
A. The Christian revival does not occur in the afternoon or at sunset. Rather it occurs in the morning. The Christian life is not a sunset, but rather a dawning of the sun.
问:为什么我需要在清晨得复兴?
答:基督徒的复兴不是在午后,更不是在日落,乃是在清晨。基督徒的人生不是日落西山,乃是旭日东升。


4) Q. What if I am too busy to spend time in the morning to be revived?
A. It does not matter how busy we are, we have to spend time in the morning to exercise our spirit. Whether we are in the world or church meetings, we should bring the shining light to others.

A. Just like eating our breakfast, we may spend ten or twenty minutes to eat the spiritual food before the Lord every morning so that our spirit may be daily satisfied.

答:就像吃早餐一样,每早晨我们可以花十或二十分钟到主面前来,吃属灵的食物,使我们的灵日日得满足。

A. If you would spend half an hour or even fifty minutes praying and reading the Lord’s word and finally mixing the praying with the reading, your spirit will be enlivened.

答:如果一个早上你有半小时,甚至五十分钟在那里又祷告,又读主的话。末了,把祷告和读经调在一起,你的灵就活起来。


7) Q. When I wake up in the morning, what should I do to be revived?
A. We get revived in the morning by calling on the name of the Lord to contact Him. We can also use two or three verses to enjoy the Lord, to breathe in the Lord’s rich supply.

A. Before we read, we must pray and confess our sins, so that we may be richly filled and saturated by the Spirit of Christ.
