第七周　周三

纲目

1六要经营基督、经历基督并出产基督，关键乃是操练我们的灵—提前四7：

21 经营基督的路乃是操练我们的灵以接触那灵，就是作美地之包罗万有基督的实际—加三14。

32 在一整天之中，在每个处境和我们一切的环境中，我们应当操练我们的灵接触主并经历祂—提前四7，罗八4，林前六17，腓四11~13。

4七我们经营基督这美地，是借着运用心而对主有信并爱主，也是借着操练灵接触主并接受包罗万有赐生命之灵的分赐，这灵乃是基督这美地的实际—林后三16，十三14，加三14。

5约四24 神是灵；敬拜祂的，必须在灵和真实里敬拜。

5John 4:24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truthfulness.

6来四12 因为神的话是活的，是有功效的，比一切两刃的剑更锋利，能以刺入、甚至剖开魂与灵，骨节与骨髓，连心中的思念和主意都能辨明。

6Heb. 4:12 For the word of God is living and operative and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit and of joints and marrow, and able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

7很可惜的是，许多基督徒不知道他们有灵。……很少人知道如何运用他们的灵，并如何区别他们的灵与魂（来四12）。因此，他们不能将神所寻找真实的敬拜献给祂。

7Regrettably, many Christians do not know that they have a spirit, much less…how to exercise their spirit and how to differentiate their spirit from their soul (Heb. 4:12). Thus, they are unable to render to God the true worship that He seeks.

8无论我们走在街上，或在家里，或在召会的会所里，只要我们运用我们的灵，我们就是在敬拜神。……今天对神真实的敬拜，不是在某个地方敬拜，乃是在我们的灵里接触神。只要我们在我们的灵里，只要我们运用我们的灵，我们就在敬拜神。

8Whether we are walking on the street or are at home or in the church meeting hall, as long as we are exercising our spirit, we are worshipping God…The genuine worship of God today is not a matter of worshipping in a certain place but a matter of contacting God in our spirit. As long as we are in our spirit, and as long as we exercise our spirit, we are worshipping God.

9我们若每天在作我们美地的基督身上劳苦，学习在我们的家庭、学校、工作里经历祂，我们就会有许多基督的丰富，并会满了基督。然后每当我们来到召会的聚会中，我们就会带着基督而来，并与别人分享基督（李常受文集一九六四年第一册，五一○、五一二、五一九页）。

9If we labor on Christ as our good land every day, learning to experience Him in our family, our school, and our job, we will have many riches of Christ and will be full of Christ. Then whenever we come to a church meeting, we will come with Christ and will share Christ with others. (CWWL, 1964, vol. 1, pp. 391-392, 397)

10我们在操练灵时，必须学习最重要的功课，就是不注意任何从魂来的事物。我们不可注意自己的思想、情感、偏好等等；也不该在意我们的环境、情形和发生在我们身上或周遭的事。我们不必注意这些事，倒要单单专注于我们灵里深处的感觉。忘却一切并专注于我们灵里的感觉，就是操练我们的灵。

10The most important lesson we need to learn in exercising our spirit is to not pay attention to anything that comes from our soul. We must not care for our thinking, our emotions, our preferences, and so forth. Neither should we care for our environment, our situation, or the things that are happening to us or around us. Instead of paying attention to these things, we must simply pay attention to the deep sense in our spirit. To forget about all else and pay attention to the sense in our spirit is to exercise our spirit.

11我们不可能避免环境中许多发生在我们身上的事，但我们不该被这些事霸占。虽然我们天然的倾向就是容易受各种事物的打岔，我们却该留意灵中内里的感觉。例如：假使我的妻子生病了，我可以为她祷告，却不该被她的情形打岔。我要在灵里敬拜神，就必须学习不被我妻子的病情霸占，只顾到我灵里深处的感觉。可能当我的心思和情感被牵引着要为我妻子祷告，我灵里的感觉却指示我为某个城市的召会祷告。

11It is impossible for us to avoid many things that happen to us in our environment. However, we should not be occupied by these things. Although our natural inclination is to be distracted by various things, we should instead give heed to the inner feeling in our spirit. For instance, if my wife becomes ill, although I may pray concerning her, I should not be distracted by her situation. In order to worship God in my spirit, I must learn not to be preoccupied by my wife’s illness but simply take care of the feeling deep in my spirit. It may be that while my mind and emotion are drawn to pray for my wife, the sense in my spirit will direct me to pray for a church in a particular city.

12我们寻求在灵之外的任何部分里敬拜神，就是错的。我们必须学功课，不管自己的环境和景况。当我们来聚会时，必须借着注意我们灵里的感觉过于魂里的感觉来操练我们的灵。我们若这样作，可能会发现我们深处的感觉是要赞美主，不管其他一切事。我们操练灵，就不在意我们的环境、家庭、成功和失败，而被带到诸天界里。我们在灵里可以宣告：“阿利路亚，赞美主，基督得胜！”那些被配偶搅扰、因好消息而兴奋、面对内心难处的人，会随着我们的赞美而受激励，宣告说，“阿们，赞美主！”若所有的圣徒都这样操练他们的灵，聚会就被带进灵里，圣徒们就在灵里敬拜神。……这是我们聚会该走的路。然而，大多数时候，这不是我们的实行。这就是我们迫切需要学这功课的原因。敬拜神必须在灵里，并操练我们的灵。我们需要不管我们的环境、感觉、思想、观念，单单留意我们全人里面最深处的感觉—我们灵里的感觉（李常受文集一九六五年第二册，五一至五三页）。

12It is wrong for us to seek to worship God in any part of our being other than our spirit. We must learn the lesson of forgetting about our environment and our circumstances. When we come to a meeting, we must exercise our spirit by taking care of the sense in our spirit rather than the sense in our soul. If we do this, we may discover that we have the deep sense to praise the Lord and forget about everything else. When we exercise our spirit, we forget about our environment, our family, our successes, and our failures and are brought into the heavenlies. In the spirit we may declare, “Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! Christ is Victor!” Following our praise, those who are troubled by their spouses, encouraged by good news, and facing inward turmoil may be encouraged to declare, “Amen! Praise the Lord!” When all the saints exercise their spirit in this way, the meeting is brought into the spirit, and the saints worship God in spirit. This is the way that we should take in the meetings. For the most part, however, this is not our practice. This is why we are in such great need of learning this lesson. Worshipping God is a matter that must be in spirit and in the exercise of our spirit. We need to forget our environment with our feelings, thoughts, and concepts and simply take care of the deepest sense in our being—the sense in our spirit. (CWWL, 1965, vol. 2, pp. 38-40)
