梦游圣经66本书

2025 年 12 月 29 日

经文：《提摩太后书》1:5–6

【提后 1:5】

想到你心里无伪之信，这信先在你外祖母罗以和你母亲友尼基心里，我深信也在你的心里。

【提后 1:6】

为此我提醒你，使你将神藉我按手所给你的恩赐，再如火挑旺起来。

⸻

一、梦境回顾

梦中，我们一起去吃火锅海底捞。

但在真正开始之前，

我们却一直在擦洗碗碟和用具，

一遍又一遍，

却不觉得烦，也没有着急。

我们心里很清楚一件事：

碗如果不干净，是不能用来盛热汤的。

⸻

二、无伪之信：真实的信心（提后 1:5）

经文提到一个很重要的词：

“无伪之信”。

在梦里，我们擦的不是食物，

而是装食物的碗。

这帮助我们明白，

神首先在意的，

不是外表看起来多热心，

而是里面是否真实。

无伪之信，意思是：

• 信心不掺杂别的动机

• 不带着过去留下的旧问题

• 不只是外表看起来干净

而是神可以放心使用的信心。

⸻

为什么要一直擦？

梦中最明显的动作，就是一直在擦。

这提醒我们：

• 真实的信心不是一次整理就完成

• 也不只是刚信主时的改变

• 而是在成长过程中持续被整理、被更新

神愿意花时间这样预备，

说明这并不是一个空器皿。

⸻

三、把恩赐如火挑旺（提后 1:6）

经文接着说：

要把神所给的恩赐，再如火挑旺起来。

这里需要特别说明一件事。

🔥 恩赐的火，从哪里来？

• 火是神给的

• 恩赐不是我们制造出来的

• 火从一开始就属于神

但经文却说：

「使你将恩赐再如火挑旺起来。」

这表示——

神是火的源头，

我们是对火的回应者。

⸻

为什么梦里是火锅？

火锅需要三样东西：

• 有真实的火

• 有持续的温度

• 有能承受热度的器皿

梦中我们要吃的是火锅，

经文中讲的也是火。

意思很清楚：

神已经给了火，

但是否能持续、是否能发挥，

与器皿是否预备好有关。

⸻

挑旺，不是重新点火

经文说的是「再挑旺」，

不是「重新点火」。

这说明：

• 恩赐早就已经给了

• 火并没有熄灭

• 现在的问题不是“神有没有给”

• 而是“我们是否为火预备了器皿”

所以在梦里，

我们先擦碗，

而不是急着开火、急着开吃。

⸻

四、三代的信心，与我们的角色

经文提到三代人：

外祖母、母亲、提摩太。

这提醒我们，

信心与恩赐不是突然出现的，

而是被传承、被托付的。

在梦中，我们不是坐着等吃的人，

也不是掌控火的人。

我们是在一旁预备碗的人。

这说明：

我们的责任不是制造火，

而是挑旺神已经给的火。

⸻

五、整合总结（重点）

• 火是神给的

• 恩赐是神所托付的

• 挑旺不是靠人制造能力

• 而是人用真实、洁净的生命回应神的作为

当神定意让火再次燃烧时，

预备好的器皿，

就能够承接得住。

⸻

六、回应祷告

主啊，

谢谢你赐下真实的信心，

也赐下属灵的恩赐。

当你带领我们整理、洁净时，

帮助我们不急躁、不逃避。

愿我们预备好自己，

好让你所赐的火，

可以被稳稳地承载，

被正确地使用，

不白白浪费。

阿们。

Cleansed Vessels, Carrying the Fire

Date: 29 December 2025

Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:5–6

2 Timothy 1:5
I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.

2 Timothy 1:6
For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

⸻

I. Recalling the Dream

In the dream, we were going together to eat hotpot at Haidilao.

Before the meal began, however,
we kept wiping and cleaning the bowls and utensils,
again and again,
without feeling annoyed or rushed.

We were very clear about one thing:
if the bowls were not clean, they could not be used to hold hot soup.

⸻

II. Sincere Faith: Faith That Is Real (2 Tim 1:5)

The passage highlights an important phrase:
“sincere faith.”

In the dream, we were not cleaning the food,
but the bowls that would hold the food.

This helps us understand that what God first cares about
is not how passionate we appear outwardly,
but whether there is genuineness within.

Sincere faith means:
• faith without mixed motives
• faith not carrying unresolved residue from the past
• faith that is not merely clean on the surface

It is faith that God can confidently use.

⸻

Why Keep Wiping?

The most obvious action in the dream
was that we kept wiping.

This reminds us that:
• genuine faith is not settled in one moment
• it is not limited to the changes at the beginning of faith
• it is shaped through continual adjustment and renewal as we grow

God’s willingness to spend time preparing in this way
shows that this is not an empty vessel.

⸻

III. Fanning the Gift into Flame (2 Tim 1:6)

The passage continues by saying
that the gift God has given should be fanned into flame.

Here, something important must be clarified.

🔥 Where Does the Fire Come From?
• The fire comes from God
• Spiritual gifts are not produced by us
• From the beginning, the fire belongs to God

Yet Scripture says:
“fan into flame the gift of God.”

This shows that
God is the source of the fire,
and we are those who respond to the fire.

⸻

Why Hotpot in the Dream?

Hotpot requires three things:
• a real fire
• sustained heat
• vessels that can withstand the heat

In the dream, we were going to eat hotpot.
In the passage, the image is fire.

The meaning is clear:
God has already given the fire,
but whether it continues and functions well
depends on whether the vessel is prepared.

⸻

Fanning, Not Reigniting

The Scripture says “fan into flame,”
not “ignite again.”

This tells us that:
• the gift has already been given
• the fire has not gone out
• the question is not whether God has given
• but whether we have prepared vessels for the fire

That is why, in the dream,
we cleaned the bowls first,
instead of rushing to light the fire or begin the meal.

⸻

IV. Three Generations of Faith, and Our Role

The passage mentions three generations:
• the grandmother
• the mother
• Timothy

This reminds us that faith and gifts
do not appear suddenly.
They are entrusted and passed down.

In the dream, we were not those sitting and waiting to eat,
nor were we the ones controlling the fire.

We were the ones preparing the bowls.

This shows that
our responsibility is not to create the fire,
but to prepare suitable vessels
for the fire God has already given.

⸻

V. Integrated Summary (Key Points)
• The fire comes from God
• The gifts are entrusted by God
• Fanning into flame is not human self-manufacture
• It is a human response of sincerity and cleansing
to what God is already doing

When God chooses to let the fire burn strongly again,
a prepared vessel
will be able to carry it.

⸻

VI. Response Prayer

Lord,
thank You for giving sincere faith
and for entrusting spiritual gifts.

As You lead us through seasons of cleansing and preparation,
help us not to rush or to avoid the process.

May we prepare ourselves well,
so that the fire You have given
can be steadily carried,
rightly used,
and not wasted.

Amen.
