活水泉使徒教會異象2024：

你們要聖潔，因為耶和華你們的神是聖潔的神 利未記 19:2

「興起發光，因為你的光已經來到，耶和華的榮耀發現照耀你。看哪，黑暗遮蓋大地，幽暗遮蓋萬民，耶和華卻要顯現照耀你，他的榮耀要現在你身上。萬國要來就你的光，君王要來就你發現的光輝." (以賽亞書60:1-3)

2023年神把這句經文放進了我們教會。之後神用「往下紮根，向上結果."(以賽亞書37:31)來操練我們聆聽神聲音並且順服神的帶領。在操練的時候我們發現兩個問題。第一，很多事情是生活的雞毛蒜皮小事還需要問神嗎？第二很多事情按照我們的想法處理和按照神的心意處理是完全不同的。怎麼辦？操練！大家互相鼓勵著，終於突破了自己的老我，建立了和神親密、彼此信任的關係。

2024年神又用利未記11:44「我是耶和華你們的神；所以你們要成為聖潔，因為我是聖潔的.」來操練我們過聖潔、得勝的生活。這下可麻煩了，本來自以為很愛神的我們，在操練聖潔的時候，發現自己生命中很多“偶像”，這種偶像不是肉眼可以看出來的那種偶像；這種偶像是我們多年生活累積出來的做事風格和為人處事的方式以及我們的思維、理念，這下處理起來可難了，因為這次開始和神來真的，發現真的要讓神作我們生命的主，我們裡面那幾十年來已經習慣讓我們聽從「牠」作我們生命主宰的時候，「牠」還不幹呢，以至於我們做起來可真難啊！甚至還有一些是因為創傷而留下沒有被醫治的陰影，這樣的心和心態想讓神在我裡面做主，那就更難上加難了。雖然直到今天我們還在操練，但是已經沒有那些痛苦了，因為在操練的過程中，我們發現痛是來自於”仇敵”，只要有一顆願意的心向著神，幾秒鐘這個痛就沒有了。真如保羅說的：…所以有一根刺加在我肉體上，就是撒但的差役要攻擊我，免得我過於自高。 為這事，我三次求主，叫這刺離開我。 他對我說：「我的恩典夠你用的，因為我的能力是在人的軟弱上顯得完全。」所以，我更喜歡誇自己的軟弱，好叫基督的能力覆庇我。 我為基督的緣故，就以軟弱、凌辱、急難、逼迫、困苦為可喜樂的；因我什麼時候軟弱，什麼時候就剛強了。 (哥林多後書12:7-10)

核心價值：以聖經為基礎

1.往下紮根與神連結. "...往下紮根，向上結果." (賽 37:31)

2.靠著聖靈努力做到聖潔.  "...因為耶和華是忌邪的神，名為忌邪者." (出 34:14)

3.按照神的心意去做每一件事情，真正做到讓神居首位. "...使祂可以在凡事上居首位..." (西 1:18)

4.用神的愛去愛那不可愛的人，以至全球華人一起復興. "我們的盼望和喜樂，並所誇的冠冕是什麼呢？豈不是我們主耶穌來的時候、你們在祂面前站立得住嗎？（貼前 2:19-20)

Our Vision 2024: Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy. (Leviticus19:2 NIV)

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. (Isaiah60:1-3 NIV)

In 2023, God gave above scripture to our church. Then God used scripture“take root below and bear fruit above. (Isaiah37:31 NIV)” to train us to listen to God’s voice and obey God‘s leading. During this exercise, we have discovered two problems. First, “do we need to ask God what to do for trivial and unimportant things we have in life?”Second, “how can we handle things in God’s way but are completely different from our own ways?” Based on these two questions, what can we do? Practice! We encouraged each other and finally made the breakthrough to let “old me” die and established a close and trusting relationship with God.

In 2024, God used scripture “I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. (Leviticus11:44 NIV)” to train us to live in a holy and victorious life. This makes us in trouble because we who thought we loved God very much, but when we were practicing holiness, we discovered that there were many “idols” in our lives. These “idols” are not the kind of idols that can be seen with our physical eyes. These “idols” are partnering with us for many years - the accumulated style of doing things and the way we deal with people, as well as our thoughts and ideas- and make us so difficult to deal with. Because this time we are so serious on having a real relationship with God and we really want God to be the Lord of our lives. These “idols” that we have been obeyed as masters of our lives for so many years really refuse to let God become the head of our lives. So it makes really difficult for us to truly obey God. There are even some unhealed shadows in our hearts which were caused by traumas. With such a heart and mentality, it is even more difficult for us to let God lead us. Although we are still on the way of practicing, we no longer have the pain, because during the practice, we discovered that the pain comes from the "enemy". As long as we have a willing heart toward God, the pain will disappear in a few seconds. As Paul said：…I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians12:7-10 NIV)

Core Value: BIBLE is the foundation

1. Go deeper and connect with God. “…take root below and bear fruit above." (Isaiah37:31 NIV)

2. Count on Holy Spirit to become holiness. "Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. "(Exodus34:14 NIV)

3. Let God be the head of our lives. “And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy." (Colossians1:18 NIV)

4. Love people in a way God loves us for the sake of global revival on Chinese Community. “And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. "(Colossians1:18 NIV)
