爸爸想和你分享一些事情，你現在也許聽不懂，沒有關係，希望以後 神都會啓示你，而且啓示的比爸爸更多。
Daddy wants to share something with you. You might not understand them right now, but
that is okay. God will give you more understanding
in the future, and I pray that He will give you more than what He has given me.
你這一生一定要學習的一個非常重要的功課，就是「聆聽」的功課。
There is something very important that you
must learn to attain in this life – the art of listening.
你要學習聆聽父母、牧師、老師們的教導，雖然人都不完全，也都不完全成熟，但是當你留心去聆聽這些人的教導，你會發現 神賜給許多人智慧聰明，只要和聖經沒有違背，你都應該盡量照著去做。有一天，你會發現那些功課最好的學生，不一定是最聰明的學生，而是最會聆聽、最知道老師要求的學生。爸爸認識有些人非常聰明，但是沒有學到聆聽的功課，反而造成許多人的困擾。
Listen to the teachings of your parents,
pastors and teachers. Even though none
of them will be perfect or fully mature, you will find out that God gives many
people wisdom. As long as their
teachings are not in contradiction with the Bible, you should try to follow
them. One day, you will discover that
the best students in the class are not necessarily those who are the smartest,
but the ones who listen and understand the teachers’ requirements. Daddy knows some people who are extremely
smart but they don’t listen, and they have created problems for many.
有一天你若是結婚，要學習聆聽你的妻子和你的孩子，你若是會聆聽你的家人（言語和小動作上），他們會很快樂幸福，相反地，若是你只顧著要發表己見，凡事都要照你的方式，嗯… 那你只好把這一篇給你的妻子孩子多看幾次吧。花時間聆聽顧客需要的生意人會生意很好，花時間聆聽專業建議的人會少走很多的冤枉路，花時間聆聽自己身體需要的人會很健康。
If you get married one day, learn to listen to
your wife and your kids. If you listen
to them (what they say and what they do), then you will build a very happy
family. On the contrary, if you only
focus on what you have to say and everything has to happen according to your
will, hum… then ask your wife and kids to read this teaching couple times. The businessmen who spend time listening to
their customers will build a great business.
Those who spend time listening to the professionals will save them from
a lot of unnecessary troubles. Those who
spend time listening to their body will have a healthy life.
最重要的，是要聆聽 神的話。爸爸在禱告殿三年，發現良好禱告生活的最大秘訣，不是在於向 神説話，而是聆聽 神説話。聽到 神的話語真的一點都不稀奇奧秘，每一個信徒都能、也都應該能聽到 神的話語；你的屬靈耳朵被開通之後，你和 神的關係就變得新鮮活潑，你不再只是喜歡和別人談論 神（帶查經、宣教：雖然他們也很重要），而是你會喜歡親近這一位熱情慈愛的 神，甚至像大衛、馬利亞一樣，摸到祂的心跳，盡心盡意地愛上（情感）這一位 神，得著豐盛的生命。聆聽最大的秘訣，就是順服，在生活中的每一個小地方順服，從順服聖經、順服寫下的話語（logos）開始，到順服啓示、順服說出來的話語（Rhema），順服是最難的功課，是一生的功課，但是爸爸發現 神總是給我們足夠的恩典去順服祂，功課越難，恩典也就越大，但是順服越徹底的人越能經歷認識到這些恩典，就會明白 神的帶領其實都是愛。
Most importantly, you have to listen to the
Word of God. Daddy spent three years in
the prayer room and discovered the secret of a good prayer life is not about
talking to God, but listening to God. Hearing
God’s words is nothing weird or mystical.
Every believer should be and ought
to be able to hear the Word of God. When your spiritual ear is opened, your
relationship with God will be fresh and dynamic. You will not only enjoy talking to others
about God (Bible Study or Mission: even though they are very important, too),
but you will enjoy spending time with this passionate and merciful God. Like David and Mary of Bethany, you will feel
His heartbeat and be able love Him (with emotions) with all your heart. Then you will gain the abundant life. The key of listening to God is obedience. You have to learn to obey Him in every little
area of your life, beginning from obeying the written Word (the Bible, logos) to obey the spoken
Word (rhema). Obedience is the most challenging lesson, a life-long lesson, but daddy
discovers that God always gives us sufficient grace to obey Him. When the lesson gets tougher, the grace
abounds more. Those who obey Him wholeheartedly
will experience and discover His amazing grace, and they will realize that His
leading is all about love.
總之，「聆聽」是非常有智慧的事情，是的，「聆聽」的確需要我們謙卑下來，但是會帶給我們莫大的祝福，爸爸非常希望你能夠學習到聆聽的藝術，成為一個蒙福的人。
In summary, listening
is a very wise thing to do. Yes,
listening requires humility, but it will bring tremendous blessings. Daddy wants you to learn the art of listening
and become a very blessed person.
