One New Humanity - 不叫人看見，父看得見｜陳凱莉牧師 Pastor Kelly

耶穌在馬太福音 6章16-18 節教我們：禁食不是表面上的行為，而是把心轉向「在暗中察看」的天父。禁食禱告不是「折磨」自己，更不是宗教形式；是 deny yourself —— 捨己，讓焦點重新對準神。 聖經中，從但以理到使徒行傳，禁食都不是偶爾的靈修活動，而是屬靈人的生活方式。它推進我們的信心，讓我們聽見聖靈的引導，被差派、被更新。 而禁食不只是不吃東西。真正奪走我們專注的，也可能是手機、社群、暴食、購物、或那些能最快釋放多巴胺、卻讓心上癮的習慣。 從一餐、一段時間開始，把你最容易上癮的那件事按下暫停鍵，把這 30 分鐘獻給神，對祂說：「父，我要更多地看見祢。」當你在暗中尋求祂，祂必親自回應你。 參考經文：馬太福音6章16-18節 In Matthew 6:16–18, Jesus teaches us that fasting is not an outward performance, but a turning of the heart toward the Father who “sees in secret.” Fasting and prayer are not self-inflicted hardship, nor a religious ritual; they are an act of deny yourself—laying down self so our focus can return to God. Throughout Scripture, from Daniel to the book of Acts, fasting is never portrayed as an occasional spiritual practice, but as a way of life for those who walk with God. It strengthens our faith, sharpens our ability to hear the Holy Spirit, and prepares us to be sent and renewed. And fasting is not only about abstaining from food. What steals our focus may also be our phone, social media, binge-eating, shopping, or any habit that delivers a quick hit of dopamine and slowly becomes an addiction of the soul. Start with one meal or a short period of time. Pause the very thing you are most attached to, and give those 30 minutes to God. Say to Him, “Father, I want to see You more.” When you seek Him in secret, He will surely respond.
