保罗·华许 – 神忠心管教的神迹
除了救恩——那最大的神迹之外，
神在你生命中还行过什么伟大的事吗？
我知道大家希望听我说的，是一些发生在南美洲、
或丛林里的神迹，
但是仅次于重生，
（重生包括救恩、让我们看见十字架等等）
神最伟大的工作是，他在管教这件事上的信实，
对我而言，神的信实与他对我的爱，
表达在他的教训、
他的管教里，
那种不放弃管教你的爱，
那种来自父亲、弟兄的管教；
我们都有不结果子的时候，你我都经历过的，
但是好像每次我不结果子的时候，
也同时是我面对最大试炼的时候，
大试炼，也是最痛苦的时候；
我认为，主深知我，
我认为，神认识我，超过我对自己的认识，
我想他知道，当我大大结果子的时候，
就有骄傲的危险，
他知道怎样打击我，
他知道怎样用石头敲醒我，
他甚至知道什么时候该让你的敌人凌虐你，
使你不至于自高自大；
另外就是在我的婚姻里，让我看见神迹，
你知道，因为你的某种讲道方式，
人们就以为你是个敬虔的人，
然而，让我检视你的婚姻；
我想，过去这16年来，
我学到一点点关于如何舍己，
也只不过一点点…如何为我的新娘舍己，
后来我们有了孩子，
因为我晚婚，
当我有了儿女，在舍己方面…
你知道… 他给我这些孩子，
也让我经历了神迹，
神让我们透过这些孩子，
来看我们与他的关系，非常奇妙！
但是在所有的喜乐中，最大的…其中之一是：
多年之前，我22岁的时候，
有些事困扰着我，让我很烦恼，
我永远不会忘记，一个凌晨的1:45左右，我当时正在祷告，
我祈祷、向神哭求，
我在德州的奥斯丁，
有两位，一个弟兄、一个姐妹，
从休市顿来电话，
只说他们也正在祷告，
他们受了神感动，
分享诗篇的这句经文：
“我要使他足享长寿，将我的救恩显明给他。”
如今我48岁了，
即使我在这个访问结束之前死去，
那句经文也应验了，
看见了神的救恩，
看见有人在教会三十年之后，终于重生得救，
看见一个基督徒，大半生都觉得：
“我实在不明白耶稣被罗马兵丁鞭打，
和我有什么关系？”
而这些人在听完讲道之后，
泪流满面地对我说：“我明白了，
那是为了我的罪，
耶稣为我死在神的忿怒之下，是神的公义。”
看见世界各地的人归主，
远远超过了我的梦想。
Paul Washer – The Miracle of God’s Faithful Discipline
Paul talks about the greatest miracle in his life, it not being some supernatural thing, but it rather being the love of the Father to discipline him.
Question: Apart from the greatest miracle which is salvation, what are some of the mighty works that God has done in your life?
Paul: I know everybody is wanting me to tell about some miracle in South America or in the jungles, but the greatest work of God after regeneration, (all that dealing with salvation, opening us up to a view of the cross,) is His faithful providence in discipline. To me, God’s faithfulness, His love toward me, is manifested in His teaching, His training, this love that will not let you go, and this fatherly, brotherly discipline.
Many of the times, we all go through seasons of, it seems, great fruitfulness. And it seems that every time I have gone through a season of great fruitfulness, at the same time, I’ve gone through a season of great trial, great testing, and oftentimes great pain. And I think that the Lord knows me – I think that He knows me better than I know me. And I think that He knows that when I seem to bear great fruit, I am in danger of great pride. And He knows how to wound me. He knows how to set a large stone on my head. He knows when it is necessary to even allow the enemy to run their chariot over your back so that you are not lifted up.
Another way in which I see the great miracle is in my marriage. You see, someone thinks you are a godly man because you preach a certain way. Show me your marriage. And I think that the last 16 years, I am learning a little bit more how to lay down my life; just a little bit more, how to lay down my life for my bride. And then when my children came along, because I got a very late start in all this, when my children came along, the dying to self. You know, God’s miraculous power is seen in giving us children so that we can see ourselves in our relationship with Him through those children, it’s amazing.
The greatest, one of the greatest joys that I have though is: Years and years ago, I was 22 years old, and I was greatly disturbed, bothered about some things. And I’ll never forget, I was praying, and it was about 1:45 in the morning; and I was praying, crying out to God. And I was in Austin, Texas. And two, a brother and sister from Houston called me on the phone. They just said they were praying too and that God had laid something on their heart. And they quoted this text to me out of the Psalms, “With a long life I will grant him, and he shall behold My salvation.” I am 48 years old. If I were to die before this interview is over, that has been fulfilled. To behold His salvation. To see church people who have been church people for 30 years converted. Or a Christian who’s lived most of their life thinking, “I don’t understand how Jesus getting beaten up by the Romans paid for my sins.” For them to come to me after a sermon, weeping, saying, “I understand. It was Him bearing sin. Him dying under the wrath of God. It was God’s justice.” To see people converted all over the world has been something far beyond anything I could have ever, ever dreamed of.
