借着紧紧跟随那有时代异象的时代执事,而进入时代的职事—四段要紧的路程

第二篇 借着紧紧跟随那有时代异象的时代执事,而进入时代的职事—四段要紧的路程
第二周 周六
纲目
1五 借着经过约但河,时代就转变了;约但河是新约之浸开始的地方,表征死;过约但河就是胜过死,为要在复活里生活并尽职—太三5~6罗六3~4加二20
1E The age was changed by passing through the river Jordan; this river, where the New Testament baptism began, signifies death; crossing the river Jordan is overcoming death in order to live and minister in resurrection—Matt. 3:5-6; Rom. 6:3-4; Gal. 2:20:
21 主受浸表明死;祂从水里上来,表明复活;主是借着复活的能力而胜过死亡;借着受浸,主甚至在实际死而复活的三年半以前,就能在复活里生活并尽职—太三13~17
21 The Lord’s baptism signifies death, and His coming out of the water signifies resurrection; by the power of resurrection, the Lord overcame death; by being baptized, He was able to live and minister in resurrection even before His actual death and resurrection three and a half years later—Matt. 3:13-17.
32 我们在重生时得着基督作复活的生命;人而神者耶稣借着不法之人的手被钉在十字架上杀了,但神“将死的痛苦解除,叫祂复活了,因为祂不能被死拘禁”—徒二23~24约十一25彼前一3
32 We obtained Christ as this resurrection life at the time of our regeneration; the man-God, Jesus, was nailed to a cross and killed by the hand of lawless men, but God raised Him up, “having loosed the pangs of death, since it was not possible for Him to be held by it”—Acts 2:23-24; John 11:25; 1 Pet. 1:3.
43 在生命的新样中生活行动,就是活在受浸的实际里(罗六4);在灵的新样里服事,就是在受浸的实际里服事(七6)。
43 To walk in newness of life is to live in the reality of our baptism (Rom. 6:4); to serve in newness of spirit is to serve in the reality of our baptism (7:6).
54 我们需要追求认识基督复活的大能;我们乃是凭基督复活的大能,而不是凭我们天然的生命,定意否认己而背起十字架,并且借着与祂的十字架成为一,而能模成祂的死—腓三10~12太十六24歌二8~1014
54 We need to pursue knowing the power of Christ’s resurrection; it is by the power of Christ’s resurrection, not by our natural life, that we determine to take the cross by denying our self and are enabled to be conformed to His death by being one with His cross—Phil. 3:10-12; Matt. 16:24; S. S. 2:8-10, 14.
65 我们在预备被提时,必须学习如何过约但河并胜过死亡;必须学习与在自己身上,并环境中死的势力抵抗;我们该表明并显出我们与我们复活的主联合,在一切事上认识并彰显祂是复活的大能—林前六17林后一8~9五4三17,参四510~12
65 While preparing to be raptured, we must learn how to cross the Jordan and overcome death; we must learn how to resist the power of death that exists in us and in our environment, and we should demonstrate and manifest that we are joined to our resurrected Lord, knowing and expressing Him as the power of resurrection in all things—1 Cor. 6:17; 2 Cor. 1:8-9; 5:4; 3:17; cf. 4:5, 10-12.
76 十字架的生活是借着复活的大能而活出的,并因着复活的丰富而得鼓励(腓三10);雅歌的结语是基督的佳偶祷告,求她的良人在祂复活的大能(羚羊和小牡鹿)里快快回来,设立那要充满全地,祂甘甜美丽的国(香草山)(八13~14,启十一15但二35)。
76 The life of the cross is lived by the power of resurrection and is encouraged by the riches of resurrection (Phil. 3:10); the concluding word of Song of Songs is Christ’s loving seeker praying for her Beloved to make haste to come back in the power of His resurrection (gazelle and young hart) to set up His sweet and beautiful kingdom (mountains of spices), which will fill the whole earth (8:13-14; Rev. 11:15; Dan. 2:35).
8六 我们若要得着以利亚的被提,以及有圣灵大能之加倍的灵(王下二9~15),就必须经过吉甲、伯特利、耶利哥和约但河;我们要经历从旧约时代转换到新约时代,就必须对付我们的肉体(加五24腓三3),舍弃世界转向神(雅四4约壹二15~17),击败撒但(弗六10~20启十二11),并且经过死,进入在复活里的生活(罗六3~4加二20)。
8F If we want to receive the rapture of Elijah and a double portion of the spirit with the power of the Holy Spirit (2 Kings 2:9-15), we must pass through Gilgal, Bethel, Jericho, and the river Jordan; in order for the age to be changed from the Old Testament to the New Testament in our experience, we must deal with our flesh (Gal. 5:24; Phil. 3:3), give up the world and turn to God (James 4:4; 1 John 2:15-17), defeat Satan (Eph. 6:10-20; Rev. 12:11), and pass through death into a living that is in resurrection (Rom. 6:3-4; Gal. 2:20).
9肆 现今的时代乃是得胜者的时代,并且借着现今时代执事而有之现今时代的职事乃是发出主对得胜者的呼召(得胜者就是那些看见永远异象、活永远生命并作永远工作的人—这就是看见神终极的目标,活出并作出新耶路撒冷);这些得胜者乃是为着建造基督身体的实际,预备基督的新妇,并使基督的国得以显出;我们要在这末后的日子应付神终极的需要,就必须立志成为得胜者,就是有活力的人—士五15~1631启二7111726~29三5~612~1321~22
9Ⅳ This present age is the age of the overcomers, and the ministry of this present age through the ministers of the present age is the sounding of the Lord’s call for the overcomers (those who see the vision of eternity, live the life of eternity, and work the work of eternity—this is to see God’s ultimate goal and live out and work out the New Jerusalem); these overcomers are for the building up of the reality of the Body of Christ, the preparation of the bride of Christ, and the manifestation of the kingdom of Christ; in order to meet God’s ultimate need in these last days, we have to make a resolution to be the overcomers, the vitalized ones—Judg. 5:15-16, 31; Rev. 2:7, 11, 17, 26-29; 3:5-6, 12-13, 21-22.
晨兴喂养
10王下二8 以利亚将自己的外衣卷起来击打河水,水就左右分开,二人走干地而过。
10
1114 〔以利沙〕拿着以利亚身上掉下来的外衣击打河水,……击打河水之后,水也左右分开,以利沙就过去了。
11
12约但河是新约之浸开始的地方,表征死(太三5~6与6注2)。为要过约但河,以利亚用自己的外衣击打河水,他的外衣预表浇灌的灵,能力的灵(王下二8)。能力的灵对付死河,好为以利亚和以利沙开路,让他们过河。这一切乃是表征,我们要经历从旧约时代转换到新约时代,就必须对付我们的肉体(加五24),舍弃世界转向神(约壹二15~17),击败撒但(启十二11),并经过死(罗六3~4加二20)(圣经恢复本,王下二1注1)。
12
信息选读
13约但河,是指着死的能力。过约但河,就是胜过死。这就是被提。
13
14主是在约但河里受浸的。主受浸是表明死;从水里上来,是表明复活。主是借着复活的能力而胜过死亡。撒但顶大的能力是死,主好像是对仇敌说,“尽你所能地作在我的身上吧!”(来二14)撒但作尽了他所能作的。但是,神所能作的是复活。撒但要主完全死;但是主有一个生命,是死所摸不着、抓不牢的。主是走干地而过了!……胜过死,除了主的复活以外,没有别的能力。我们在重生时所得着的,就是这复活的生命。
14
15过红海与过约但河是有分别的。过红海,是……不得不过;因为有仇敌的追逼,不过去就不能得救。过约但河,却是要出乎人的甘愿,是在乎人自己的拣选。有的人不肯过约但河,许多人并没有要复活的大能。保罗看重复活的大能,所以他竭力地追求(腓三10~12)。许多人已经与主同复活了,可是他们还不知道什么是主复活的大能。所以他们并没有胜过死亡的经历。
15
17在这被提紧近的当儿,信徒最末了应当胜过的一个仇敌,就是死亡。无论是在身体上的死,或是心思上的死,或是灵性上的死,都当胜过。现在的世界真是布满了死的空气。一面,许多为主所用的人,常感受到身体的软弱和疾病。一面,许多人的脑力好像麻木了许多,思想、记忆、集中力,都不像从前那样的敏捷。一面,许多人的灵好像受了死的包围,不活泼,没有能力,痿痹得很,好像瘫痪似的,不能支配并应付环境对于他灵的要求。信徒在预备被提的日子中,必须学习如何过约但河,胜过死亡。学习与在自己身上,并环境中死的势力抵抗,在许多的事上显出复活的大能来。我们必须越过越证明我们的主已经是复活了的,同时也表明我们这些与祂联合的人也是已经复活了的。
17
18我们若要得以利亚的被提,若要得以利沙外衣的圣灵,无论如何,总得从吉甲动身,直到过了约但河。圣灵只能降在一个充满复活生命的人身上。……吉甲、伯特利、耶利哥、约但河,都是我们所当经过的—在被提之前经过,像以利亚当日一样。神告诉你要被提,请你走当走的路—从吉甲动身,直到过约但河。神是在那里等着你!(倪柝声文集第一辑第九册,二四五至二四六页)
