11在基督徒中间,有好些人不知道祷告应该在主的名里。许多基督徒祷告时,常说是靠主的宝血,或者是靠主的功劳。但是在圣经里面,却清楚告诉我们,祷告是要在主的名里。
11There are a great number of Christians who do not know that it is necessary to pray in the name of the Lord. Many Christians often say that they pray by the precious blood of the Lord or by the Lord’s merits. The Bible clearly states, however, that we should pray in the name of the Lord.
12在主的名里祷告,就是我们与主联合,让神从我们身上彰显出来的意思。千万不要以为,“在主的名里”是一句话,或是一个格式,好像每逢祷告完了的时候,都必须说这么一声。……不一定加上“在主的名里”就有那个实际,也不一定不加上“在主的名里”就没有那个实际。这不是“等因奉此”的问题,乃是有没有那个实际的问题。所有真实在主的名里祷告的人,都是与主联合为一的,所以他的祷告就是主的祷告,他求就是主求。也可以说,主就是他,他就是主。他已经与主联合到一个地步,二者成为一了(李常受文集一九五九年第四册,二八二、二八五页)。
12To pray in the name of the Lord means that we are united with the Lord, and we allow God to be manifested through us. Never consider in the name of the Lord as a phrase or a form that you have to use at the end of every prayer…To add in the name of the Lord does not necessarily mean that there is the reality, and not adding it does not mean that the reality of it is missing. It is not a matter of formality but a matter of reality. A person who truly prays in the name of the Lord is one with the Lord. His prayer, therefore, is the Lord’s asking. He has been united with the Lord to such an extent that the two have become one. (CWWL, 1959, vol. 4, “Lessons on Prayer,” pp. 209, 211)

13在主的名里祷告,就是指着你这个祷告的人是与主联合的,你祷告就是主祷告。你在主的名里祷告,就是主和你一同祷告。……弟兄姊妹,有相当多的时候,我们虽然是在那里祷告,但是不能说,我们是在主的名里祷告。因为你知道那不过是你那样祷告,主并不那样祷告。……所以末了结束的时候,你应该说,“神啊,我是在自己的名里祷告,因为根本是我自己在神面前祷告,不是主在我里面祷告。”真实在主的名里祷告,必须是你在主里面祷告,当你这样祷告的时候,主也在你里面祷告。
13To pray in the name of the Lord means that you, the praying one, are in union with the Lord. When you pray in the name of the Lord, the Lord prays together with you. Brothers and sisters, when we have prayed, many times we were unable to say that we prayed in the name of the Lord, for we know that it was just our prayer; the Lord would not have prayed that way. So, at the end we should have said, “O God, we are praying in our own name,” for in practice, it is we ourselves, not the Lord praying in us. In order to be in the reality of praying in the Lord’s name, we need to be praying in the Lord. And when we pray thus, the Lord also prays in us.
14在约翰十四至十六章里,主耶稣曾明明地点出来,那些在祂里面活着的人在祂的名里所作的祷告,就是成全神旨意的祷告。我们初初听见要在主的名里祷告,就以为无论什么事都可以在主的名里求。但是等我们真学了功课的时候,就要发现,我们所要祷告的事情当中,十件事有八件不能祷告,因为那些事不是主的旨意,主不能和我们一同祷告。所有真实在主名里的祷告,定规是合乎神旨意的。
14In John 14 through 16 the Lord Jesus clearly pointed out that prayers in the name of the Lord by those who live in the Lord are prayers that accomplish God’s will. When we first heard that we needed to pray in the name of the Lord, we thought that we could pray for anything in the Lord’s name. But as we learn the lesson, we discover that out of ten matters we want to pray for, we are able to pray for only two. We realize that the other eight are not the Lord’s will and, therefore, the Lord cannot pray together with us. All real prayers in the name of the Lord are surely in accordance with God’s will.
15从约翰十四至十六章我们可以读出来,遵行神的旨意和在主的名里祷告,几乎就是一件事。你在主的名里祷告,就等于你在那里遵行神的旨意。因为你是一个在主里面……凭主活着的人,所以你在这里活着,就是主在这里活着。请你想想看,这样的一个人,还能不能在主之外……另有目标?另有倾向?当然不可能!所以我们愿意在这里再提起,神在圣经里提到关乎祷告的应许,没有一处像约翰福音这里这样宽。祂在这里说,“凡你们所愿意的,祈求就给你们成就。”(十五7)这个应许实在是宽。但是请记得,这一个应许,认真说来,又是很窄的。因为十四至十六章的祷告,乃是在主里面的。一面说,凡你们所愿意的都给你们;另一面说,这样的祷告又必须是在主的名里。当你在自己里面的时候,虽然你有许多的愿意,但是等你一回到主的名里,你就看见许多的东西你要不来,你的这个愿意受了约束(李常受文集一九五九年第四册,二八六至二八七、二九○至二九一页)。
15From John 14 through 16 we can see that doing God’s will and praying in the Lord’s name are almost the same thing. When you are praying in the Lord’s name, it is equal to doing God’s will. Because you are one who lives in the Lord and by the Lord, your living is the Lord’s living. Please consider, can such a person still have goals or inclinations outside the Lord? Of course he cannot. Therefore, we would like to mention once again that of all the places in the Bible that are concerned with God’s promise in relation to prayer, none seems as broad as the one here in the Gospel of John. Here the Lord Jesus said, “Ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you” (15:7). In one sense this promise is really broad. But actually speaking, this prayer is also very narrow, because the kind of prayer referred to in John 14 through 16 is a prayer in the Lord. On the one hand, it says that whatever you want will be given to you, but on the other hand, it says that such prayer needs to be in the Lord’s name. Although you may have many desires when you are in yourself, once you turn and get into the Lord’s name, you will see that your desires become restricted and that there are many things for which you simply cannot ask. (CWWL, 1959, vol. 4, “Lessons on Prayer,” pp. 212-214)
