16我们越借着呼求主名来接触祂,就越感觉祂的同在,也越觉得祂在里面的膏油涂抹。呼求主名使我们得着浇灌、复苏、圣别、满足和加强。这样,我们就被带进祂的同在中,预备好迎接祂的回来。今天我们所需要的教训,不是关乎预言或时代的客观教训,乃是如何借着享受并经历基督作生命的大能而得标出的教训。我们若有这一种教训,我们就会领悟,在我们自己里面是毫无盼望,且无能为力,我们也就不会再试着改良自己。我们反而会运用我们的灵来接触主,使我们能享受祂的膏油涂抹,并且有分于借复活而标出的过程(罗马书生命读经,二七、二六、七○四至七○五、六七七、六八○页)。
16The more we contact the Lord by calling upon His name, the more we sense His presence and the more we are conscious of His anointing within. By calling on the name of the Lord, we are watered, we are refreshed, we are sanctified, we are satisfied, and we are strengthened. In this way we are brought into His presence, and we are made ready for His coming. The kind of teachings we need today are not the objective teachings about prophecy or about the dispensations but those regarding how we are designated by enjoying and experiencing Christ as the life power. If we have this kind of teaching, we shall realize that in ourselves we are hopeless and helpless, and we shall no longer try to improve ourselves. Rather, we shall exercise our spirit to contact the Lord so that we may enjoy His anointing and participate in the process of designation by resurrection.
