亲爱的朋友，你好，很高兴你能收听我们今天的节目，
2. We are going to begin a new series of messages entitled, “The Fruit of the Spirit”.
我们将开始一个新的系列信息，主题是 “圣灵的果子”。
3. Before we do that, we are going to look at some basic principles regarding the Holy Spirit.
让我们先来看看有关“圣灵”的一些基本真理。
4. First thing is this: the Holy Spirit is a Person.
首先，圣灵是有位格的。
5. The Holy Spirit is the third member of the Trinity of God:
圣灵是三一真神的第三位：
6. the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
三一真神就是圣父，圣子和圣灵。
7. The Holy Spirit is a Person Who convicts us of sin.
圣灵是让我们知道自己有罪的那一位；
8. The Holy Spirit is the Person Who opens our blind spiritual eyes and enables us to believe in Jesus.
圣灵开启了我们曾被遮蔽的心眼，帮助我们信靠耶稣；
9. The Holy Spirit is the Person Who strengthens us for righteousness.
圣灵坚固我们，使我们称义；
10. The Holy Spirit is a Person Who mediates Jesus’ presence.
圣灵代表主耶稣与我们同在；
11. The Holy Spirit is a Person Who witnesses our adoption procedure.
圣灵见证我们成为神儿女的过程；
12. The Holy Spirit is the Person Who interprets the Scripture, and the Holy Spirit illuminates our hearts to understand the Word of God.
圣灵解释圣经给我们，也光照我们的心，使我们更好地明白神的话语；
13. The Holy Spirit is a Person Who does whatever is necessary for creating, sustaining, and deepening our relationship with God the Father through Jesus the Son.
圣灵为我们完成一切必要的工作，让我们通过圣子耶稣能与天父建立，保持并加深关系。
14. The Holy Spirit seals all Christian believers.
圣灵为所有的基督徒打了印记，
15. He seals us for ownership.
标志着我们的生命是属于神的；
16. He seals us for security.
祂确保我们有平安；
17. He seals us for authenticity.
祂证实我们属天的身分。
18. The Holy Spirit longs to fill our lives, but only under two conditions:
圣灵乐意充满我们的生命，但必须具备两个条件：
19. we must not quench Him;
我们千万不要销灭祂的感动；
20. we must not grieve Him.
我们千万不要使祂担忧。
21. These are the two conditions upon which our being filled with the Spirit is dependent.
这是我们被圣灵充满的两个必备的条件，
22. When we meet these conditions, we open ourselves to receiving the Holy Spirit.
当我们符合这两个条件了，就能开放自己，来接受圣灵。
23. One of the results of receiving the Holy Spirit in our lives is the production of spiritual fruit.
接受圣灵进入我们生命，就会结出圣灵的果子。
24. If you were to ask the average person, “What do you think about stress?”
如果你问一般的人，“你怎样理解压力？”
25. I can be safe to predict that it would be one of the following or all of the following answers:
我敢推测，他们的回答必定是以下这些答案，或其中之一。
26. “I have plenty of stress in my life.”
“我生活中遍布压力。”
27. Or, “It is a big problem in my family.”
或说，“这是我家里的大问题。”
28. Or, “Stress is a major cause of problems in society.”
或者，“压力是产生社会问题的主要因素。”
29. Or, “What we need to learn to do is stress management techniques.”
或者，“我们需要学习处理压力的技巧。”
30. Now, let me tell you my personal opinion before I get to the Word of God.
在讲神的话语之前，让我先谈谈我个人的观点。
31. Most of the emphasis on stress is manufactured by the tourist industry.
大多数强调压力的言论，是旅游业制造出来的。
32. We are told that, if we eliminate stress from our lives, we will be happy and enjoy life more.
他们说，如果我们能从生命中消除压力，将会很快乐，并且更享受人生。
33. Now, I think, in some circumstances and with some people, this is good advice;
我认为，在某些情形下，对某些人来讲，这是个好建议；
34. but it is not for everybody, everywhere, all of the time.
但不是对任何人，在任何地点、任何时间都适用的。
35. Why?
为什么？
36. Because in reality, God made us and made our bodies to be able to respond wonderfully to handling stress.
因为事实上，神创造我们，也让我们的身体能够很奇妙地应对，并处理压力。
37. God made our bodies to be able to handle stressful situations.
神创造了我们的身体，使我们能够面对有压力的状况。
38. For example,
举个例子，
39. when we face stressful situations, the body immediately releases three sets of hormones into the bloodstream to help us mobilize to handle stress.
当我们面对压力时，身体马上就会往血液里释放出三种荷尔蒙来帮助我们调适，以及处理压力。
40. One set of these hormones actually uses stored-up fat and carbohydrates and makes more oxygen available to your muscles.
其中一种荷尔蒙会自动使用积存的脂肪和炭水化合物，制造更多的氧气，供应你的肌肉。
41. Another set of hormones will cause routine functions of the body to slow down so that all of the energy focuses on stress;
另外一种荷尔蒙将减缓常规的身体功能，使我们能集中精力来对付压力。
42. and the other set of hormones will actually reduce pain in our bodies.
而最后一种荷尔蒙，会很实际地减轻我们身体的疼痛。
43. Did you know that you will not have headaches until the stress has passed?
你知道在压力过去之前，你不会头痛吗？
44. But we have been told all kinds of stresses are bad for you and we believe this.
但我们一向听说，各样的压力对我们都是有害的，我们也相信这种说法。
45. Why?
为什么？
46. So that the leisure industry can keep their multi-billion dollar machine going.
因为这样，娱乐业就可以不断地赚大钱。
47. Don’t misunderstand this.
但别误会我的意思，
48. Prolonged stress can be harmful;
长时间处在压力下是有害的，
49. but that is not what I’m talking about.
但这不是我所讨论的情况。
50. I’m talking about temporary, stressful situations that every one of us finds ourselves in.
我所说的是，暂时性的，每一个人都会遇到的压力。
51. Now, for those times, God placed within our bodies mechanisms that will help us deal with stress.
这个时候，神就会把能帮助我们对付压力的机能，放入我们的身体。
52. Now, this mechanism is available to everybody, believers or nonbelievers.
无论你信不信神，这个机能对每个人都同样有效，
53. It has nothing to do with who you are,
无论你是谁，
54. whether you’re a Christian or not.
无论你是不是基督徒。
55. It is God’s creation in all of us;
这是神造人的时候，就赋予每个人的；
56. and, yet, for Christian believers, we have been given an additional benefit.
然而基督徒，却能得到额外的好处。
57. That benefit can only be manifested in times of stress.
这好处，只有在压力下才能显出来。
58. Believers in Jesus Christ are given special blessings that can only be seen in stressful times.
基督徒被赋予一些特殊的福气，只有在压力之下才能被发现。
59. We, as believers in Jesus Christ, have been given specific power that will not be given to anybody else in the world.
我们基督徒，已经得到特殊的能力，这是世界上任何其他的人所没有的。
60. That power can only be exhibited in tough times.
这种能力只有在苦难的时候才能彰显出来。
61. Someone said that Christians are like a tea bag.
有人说，基督徒像个茶包，
62. Their strength can only be manifested when it is placed in hot water.
只有被泡在热水中，才能散发他们的气味。
63. What am I talking about?
你明白我在说什么吗？
64. I’m talking about the fruit of the Spirit.
我在说圣灵的果子。
65. Some of you are familiar with the fruit of the Spirit; some are not. Let me list them for you.

你可能问我：“你说这些果子只有在压力下和苦难时才能体现，是什么意思呢？”
76. Well, I’m going to anticipate what you are thinking and answer that question for you by asking you a question.
嗯，就让我用一些问题来回答你的问题吧！
77. Are you ready?
准备好了吗？
78. How can you manifest love unless you have some unlovable person that is irritating you all the time?

86. In the next few messages, we will go through this list of the fruit of the Spirit;

这是神在他话语里的命令；
91. but not all believers are filled with the Holy Spirit.
但并不是所有的信徒都被圣灵充满了。
92. Why?
