2第五篇 约瑟一生中所见成熟生命掌权的一面
2
3五 虽然约瑟自己的梦尚未得着应验，他却有信心和胆量讲解他两个狱中同伴的梦（四十8）；至终，约瑟间接借着凭信说话，讲解司酒长的梦，而从狱中得了释放（四一9～13），也直接借着放胆讲解法老的梦，被引到宝座（14～46）；释放和权柄临到他，都是借着他的说话：
3
41 慕安得烈（Andrew Murray）曾说过这样的话：好的话语执事所供应的，总该超过他所经历的；这意思是我们该照着异象说话，过于照着异象的应验说话。
4
52 即使我们的异象尚未得着应验，我们仍该向别人述说；时候将到，那时我们的异象必要应验；最终约瑟的梦借着他讲解司酒长的梦得了应验。
5
63 我们不该照着我们的感觉说话，乃该照着属天的异象说话；我们是有异象的人，是看见神永远经纶的人，所以我们应当照着神经纶绝对的真理说话——徒二六16～19。
6
7六 我们若活出基督，无论我们在哪里，我们不是带来生命，就是带来死亡（林后二14～16）；对司酒长而言，约瑟带来官复原职；对司膳长而言，约瑟带来死刑（创四一12～13）。
7
8七 我们若寻求主，主要把我们下在“监”里；没有监牢，我们无法登宝座；我们不要作“逃狱的人”；我们必须留在狱中，直到我们毕业得着冠冕——弗三1，四1，雅一12。

9创四十8 “…我们各人作了一个梦，没有人能解。约瑟说，解梦不是神的事么？请你们将梦告诉我。”
9Gen. 40:8…We have had a dream, and there is no one to interpret it. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me.
10四一16 “约瑟回答法老说，这不在于我，神必将平安的话回答法老。”
1041:16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not of me; God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer.
11约瑟与司酒长和司膳长一同被监禁。…〔司酒长和司膳长〕无法领会他们的梦，但约瑟能解梦。虽然约瑟的梦还没有应验，但他有信心和胆量为他的同伴解梦。〔创四十8～9。〕倘若我是约瑟，我会说，“我曾为自己解梦，但这些解释还没有应验。…即使我确知梦的意义，我也没有把握告诉他们，因为我不知道我的解释会不会应验。”然而，约瑟对自己梦的解释虽然还没有应验，但仍有胆量对他的同伴说，“解梦不是神的事么？请你们将梦告诉我。”（8。）约瑟似乎说，“我有两个梦，神也将梦的解释告诉了我。虽然这些解释还没有应验，但我仍然相信。我有信心为你们解梦。”（创世记生命读经，一七一七至一七一八页。）
11During his imprisonment…Joseph was joined in his confinement by the chief cupbearer and the baker…They could not understand their dreams, but Joseph was able to interpret them. Although Joseph’s dreams had not yet been fulfilled, he had the faith and the boldness to interpret the dreams of his companions [Gen. 40:8-19]. If I had been Joseph, I would have said, “I interpreted my own dreams, but these interpretations have not been fulfilled…Even if I did know the meaning of their dreams, I would not have the assurance to tell them, because I don’t know that my interpretations will be fulfilled.” However, although Joseph’s interpretation of his own dreams had not been fulfilled, he still had the boldness to say to his companions, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me” (40:8). Joseph seemed to be saying, “I had two dreams, and God gave me the interpretation of them. I still believe in these interpretations, although they have not yet been fulfilled. I have the faith to interpret your dreams for you.” (Life-study of Genesis, pp. 1437-1438)

12我们该照着异象说话，过于照着异象的应验说话。即使我们的异象还没有应验，我们仍该向别人述说。时候将到，那时我们的异象必要应验。最终约瑟的梦借着他给司酒长解梦得了应验。…司酒长和司膳长的梦不过几天之后就得了应验。当约瑟同伴的梦应验时，约瑟得着了坚固并加强。倘若我是约瑟，我定然会得着鼓励。
12We should speak more according to the vision than according to the fulfillment of the vision. Even if our vision has not been fulfilled, we should still speak of it to others. The time will come when our vision will be fulfilled. Joseph’s dreams were eventually fulfilled through his interpretation of the dream of the cupbearer. It was just a matter of days before the dreams of the cupbearer and the baker were fulfilled. When the dreams of Joseph’s companions were fulfilled, Joseph was confirmed and strengthened.
13约瑟的说话不仅使他从监狱中得释放，并且把他引到宝座。约瑟把自己说到宝座上去。他是直接借着为法老解梦，得着了权柄。（创四一25～44。）倘若我是为法老解梦的人，我会非常小心，唯恐法老问起我自己的梦。…然而，约瑟放胆说话，为法老解梦，就借着说话得着了权柄。…你越说没有资格，越说你在监牢中，就越留在监牢中。但你越说话，就越得释放。
13Joseph’s speaking not only released him from prison, but also ushered him to the throne. Joseph spoke himself to the throne. He was given authority directly through his interpretation of Pharaoh’s dreams (Gen. 41:25-44). If I had been the one interpreting dreams for Pharaoh, I would have been very cautious, fearing that Pharaoh would ask me about my own dreams…Joseph, however, was bold to speak, to interpret Pharaoh’s dreams, and through his speaking he was given authority…The more you say that you are not qualified and that you are in the dungeon, the longer you will remain in the dungeon. But the more you speak, the more released you will be.
14给约瑟权柄的，就是说话。他的说话不仅使他登宝座，也使他得着权柄治理全地。你越说话，就越有权柄。释放和权柄都是借着说话而来。
14Speaking is what gave Joseph his authority. His speaking not only put him on the throne, but it secured for him authority over all the land. The more you speak, the more authority you will have. Release and authority both come through speaking.
15无论你在哪里，你不是带来生命，就是带来死亡。对司酒长而言，约瑟带来生命。在司酒长的梦里，我们看见满了生命的葡萄树。但对司膳长而言，约瑟带来死亡，因为司膳长被飞鸟吞吃了。作约瑟不是微不足道的事，因为无论你到哪里，人不是领受生命，就是遭受死亡。他们不是到满了生命的葡萄树所预表的基督那里，就是被空中飞鸟所代表的撒但吞吃了。
15Wherever you are, you will bring either life or death. To the cupbearer, Joseph brought life. In the cupbearer’s dream we see a vine full of life. But to the baker, Joseph brought death, because the baker was devoured by birds. It is not an insignificant matter to be a Joseph, for wherever you go, people will either receive life or suffer death. Either they will go to Christ, typified by the vine full of life, or they will be devoured by Satan, represented by the birds of the air. When some read Genesis 40, they may…ask the Lord why He kept Joseph in prison for such a long time.
16有些人读到创世记四十章，也许想要…问主为什么把约瑟留在监牢里这么久。…你若寻求主，主要把你下在监里。也许在你周围所有的人—你的妻子、儿女、长老和弟兄姊妹—都想要尊重你；然而，他们所作的，不过把你下在监里。我们对此无话可说。没有监牢，我们无法登宝座。不要作“逃狱的人”；要留在狱中，直到你毕业得着冠冕。（创世记生命读经，一七一九、一七四三至一七四四、一七二二至一七二三、一七三八至一七三九页。）
16If you seek the Lord, the Lord will put you into a dungeon. Perhaps all who are around you—your wife, your children, the elders, and the brothers and sisters—intend to respect you; however, whatever they do only serves to put you into a dungeon. We have nothing to say about this. Without the dungeon, we cannot ascend to the throne. Do not be a dungeon dropout; stay in the dungeon until you graduate and receive the crown. (Life-study of Genesis, pp. 1439, 1461-1462, 1442, 1457-1458)

今日要点
18主题：以约瑟为榜样，留在环境中，凭信心说话
18
19引经：创四十8，创四一16
19
201.约瑟凭信说话，为人解梦：
20
21A.约瑟与司酒长和司膳长一同被监禁在监牢中，创四十8指出，他们各作了梦，却无法领会他们自己的梦，但约瑟却说，请你们将梦告诉我，并为他们解梦，这事情不寻常的地方在于，约瑟自己的梦都还没应验，而且好像过着与梦相反的生活，他凭什么有信心和胆量为人解梦？若是我们必定对解梦没有把握，因为自己的梦都没有应验。
21
22B.我们需要内在地看这个事例，这事例指出，我们该照着异象说话，过于照着异象的应验说话，慕安得烈曾说，好的话语执事所供应的，总该超过他所经历的，即使我们的异象尚未得着应验，我们仍该向别人述说，我们今天看见了神永远经纶，并操练受这异象所管制，所以我们该放胆，照着神经纶绝对的真理来说话，借着这样的说话，就把我们说到所说的实际里。
22
232.约瑟留在狱中，直到被神带到宝座：
23
24A.约瑟照着异象生活，并照着异象凭信说话，我们若照着异象生活，活出基督，我们无论在哪里，我们不是带来生命，就是带来死亡，在司酒长的梦里，我们看见满了生命的葡萄园，但在司酒长的梦里，他被飞鸟吞吃了，所以借着约瑟的申言解梦，人不是领受生命，就是遭受死亡，保罗也是成为馨香之气，叫人死或者叫人活，这也是成熟生命掌权的一面。
24
25B.有人问主，为什么要把约瑟留在监牢里这么长的时间，一面来说，主要留他到30岁，才能登宝座作王掌权，好豫表主耶稣，另一面，没有监牢，我们无法登宝座，任何人事物，一切境遇任何事故，其实都是要把我们下在监牢里，我们不该成为逃狱的人，逃避这些环境，反之，我们要学习保罗，留在环境中活基督，直到我们得着冠冕。
25
26应用：我们的说话不是照着感觉，就是照着异象，为此我们需要操练，不凭着眼见，而是凭着信心，不要看着环境抱怨，反之，要把我们说到我们所说的里面，越说话，就越从监牢得着释放，甚至得着权柄得着生命的掌权。
