当你祷告时神由始至终都在倾听
有些人认为必须到一个特定的地方去才能来到神的面前。然而，有一个好消息——神并不住在某个特定的国家或城市或是某一幢房子里。他并不只是某一部分的造物或是某一些人的神。我们不需要到一处圣所去，因为神无处不在，他时刻都在你身边，神本身就是一座“圣所。”你可能要问我,“你是怎么知道的?”在圣经旧约中，神的一位先知告诉那些受虐待，被带离家园的百姓们，神“要在他们所到的列邦，暂作他们的圣所”(以西结书11:16)。无论你去到哪里，无论别人对你做了些什么，无论你所做的事情、你的工作、健康、婚姻或自由会是怎样，你都是在神的面前。这是个多么好的消息啊。

Sweet Hour of Prayer (14)
GOD FOLLOWS YOU EVERYWHERE THROUGH PRAYER
Some people think that you have to go to a special place to get into the presence of God. It is good to know that God does not live in a certain country or a certain city or even inside a certain building. He is not the God of only a certain part of creation or people. Instead of having to go to a sanctuary — God, who is everywhere and near you all the time, He, Himself is “a sanctuary.” Andy, where did you get that? In the Old Testament part of the Bible, for people who have been mistreated and taken away from their homes, a prophet of God said that God has “been a sanctuary for them for a little while in the countries where they have gone” (Ezekiel 11:16). You cannot get out of his presence, no matter where you are, what someone does to you or whatever happens to your business, job, health, marriage or freedom. That’s good news.
