2
3五 以弗所六章和启示录十九章启示，召会作新妇，也必须是击败神仇敌的战士：
3
41 属灵的争战乃是身体的事；我们是团体的军队，为着神在地上的权益争战——十七14，十九14，参提后二4。
4
52 在以弗所五章，话是为着滋养，使新妇美丽，但在六章，话是为着杀死，使召会这团体的战士能从事属灵的争战——17～18节。
5
63 基督要以作战将军的身分，带着祂的新妇作祂的军队，与敌基督在哈米吉顿争战——启十九11～21。
6
74 婚礼的礼服就是基督从我们活出，作我们日常的义，使我们不仅有资格参加婚礼，也够资格参加军队，在哈米吉顿的争战中，与基督一同和敌基督作战——太二二11～12，启十九7～8、14。
7
8叁 “耶和华的喜乐是你们的力量”——尼八10下：
8
9一 按照尼希米八章十节，主的喜乐是我们的力量：
9
101 这不是我们有力量的问题，乃是祂的喜乐托住我们——帖前五16。
10
112 主的喜乐与环境毫无关系；祂是在神的旨意里喜乐；认识并遵行神的旨意就有喜乐在其中。
11
123 我们不该模仿主，乃该接受主的喜乐：

13
14b 我们能得着主的喜乐，祂的喜乐要成为我们的力量。

16三 “我维持自己的喜乐”指明他实行使徒保罗在腓立比四章四节的话：“你们要在主里常常喜乐。”
16
17四 借着神的怜悯和恩典，但愿我们都能凭主的喜乐作我们的力量，维持我们的喜乐。

18弗六17～18 “还要借着各样的祷告和祈求，接受救恩的头盔，并那灵的剑，那灵就是神的话；时时在灵里祷告，并尽力坚持，在这事上儆醒，且为众圣徒祈求。”
18Eph. 6:17-18 And receive the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which Spirit is the word of God, by means of all prayer and petition, praying at every time in spirit and watching unto this in all perseverance and petition concerning all the saints.
19尼八10 “…今日是我们主的圣日。你们不要忧愁，因耶和华的喜乐是你们的力量。”
19Neh. 8:10 …This day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of Jehovah is your strength.
20根据启示录十九章，召会既是呈献给基督的新妇，也是和祂一同与神的仇敌争战的战士。十九章十四节的众军，就是十七章十四节蒙召被选的信徒。他们也是新妇，以及被请赴羔羊婚筵的客人。（十九7～9。）…在婚礼之后，所有的客人都要成为军队。作为新妇，我们必须是美丽的，毫无斑点和皱纹，并且穿着细麻衣。作为战士，我们必须装备好与神的仇敌争战。
20According to Revelation 19, the church is both the bride who is presented to Christ and the warrior who fights with Him against God’s enemy. The armies in Revelation 19:14 are the called and chosen believers in 17:14. They are also both the bride and the guests called to the marriage dinner of the Lamb (19:79)…After the wedding, all the guests will become the army. As the bride, we must be beautiful, without spot or wrinkle, and be clothed in fine linen. As the warrior, we must be equipped to fight against God’s enemy.
21在十九章十四节，我们看见得胜者作为天上的众军以及骑着白马跟随祂的人，“穿着细麻衣，又白又洁。”…“明亮洁净的细麻衣”〔8〕这婚礼的礼服，将是争战的军装。得胜者作为天上的众军，乃是基督新妇的构成分子。换句话说，基督的新妇将要作祂的军队跟随祂争战，毁坏敌基督和他的军队。那些胜了每一种拦阻的人，在对敌基督的最后争战中，要成为与基督一同争战的人。这些人就是祂的新妇；因着祂把丰富生命的供应服事给他们，他们就成为与祂一同争战的人。（新约总论第十四册，二六八至二六九页。）
21In Revelation 19:14 we see that the overcomers, as the armies which are in heaven and the ones who followed Him on white horses, are “dressed in fine linen, white and clean.”…The wedding garment of “fine linen, bright and clean” [v. 8] will be the armor for fighting. The overcomers who are the heavenly armies are those who constitute the bride of Christ. In other words, it will be the bride of Christ who will follow Him as His army to fight and destroy Antichrist and his army. Those who have overcome every obstacle will be Christ’s co-fighters in the final battle against Antichrist. These are His bride. They have become His co-fighters by His ministering the rich life supply to them. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 4339-4340)

22得胜的圣徒有两件衣服，一件为救恩，另一件为奖赏。这里的细麻衣是第二件衣服。得胜者这第二件衣服使他们有资格参加羔羊的婚筵，（启十九8～9，）并与主一同争战抵挡祂的仇敌。因此，婚筵的礼服就变成了征衣。这第二件衣服使我们不仅有资格参加婚礼，也够资格参加军队。…这件衣服就是基督从我们活出，成了我们日常的义。就在今天，我们也是借基督作我们的衣服来争战。以弗所六章指明，神全副的军装就是基督。
22The overcoming saints have two garments, one for salvation and the other for reward. The fine linen here is the second garment. This second garment of the overcomers qualifies them both to attend the marriage dinner of the Lamb (Rev. 19:8-9) and to fight with the Lord against His enemy. Thus, the wedding garment becomes the fighting garment. The second garment qualifies us not only to attend the wedding but also to join the army…This garment is Christ lived out of us to be our daily righteousness. Even today, we are fighting by Christ as our garment. Ephesians 6 indicates that the whole armor of God is Christ.
23属灵的争战不是个人的事，乃是基督身体这团体的实体，与神仇敌争战的事。在现代的军队中，没有一个士兵会单独作战。他乃是作为训练精良、装备齐全之军队的一分子来争战。我们团体地形成军队之后，就能与神的仇敌争战。…所以，脱离军队而孤立是非常危险的。唯有留在军队里，我们才得着必需的保护。
23Spiritual warfare is not an individual matter; it is a matter of the Body, a corporate entity to fight the battle against God’s enemy. No soldier in a modern army would enter into battle by himself. Rather, he would fight as part of a well-trained and fully equipped army. After we have been formed corporately into an army, we will be able to fight against God’s enemy…Therefore, it is very dangerous to be isolated from the army. Only by remaining in the army will we have the necessary protection.
24在以弗所五章，话是为着滋养，使新妇美丽；但在六章，话是为着杀死，使召会能作团体的战士，从事属灵的争战。祷读神的话是杀死我们里面对头的路。每一天，并在各种处境里，我们都应该祷读。每当我们被自己里面某些消极的东西困扰时，我们该借着在灵里的祷告接受神的话。我们这么作，消极的元素就会被杀死。
24In Ephesians 5 the word is for nourishment that leads to the beautifying of the bride, but in Ephesians 6 the word is for killing that enables the church as the corporate warrior to engage in spiritual warfare. Pray-reading the Word of God is the way to kill the adversary within us. Every day and in every kind of situation, we should pray-read. Whenever we are troubled by something negative within us, we should take the Word of God by means of prayer in spirit. As we do this, the negative element will be killed.
25在六章十七节，保罗嘱咐我们要接受“那灵的剑，那灵就是神的话”。这就是说，我们需要取用圣经的话作为剑，来与仇敌争战。照着保罗在本节的话，神的话不是直接的剑，乃是间接的剑。…剑不直接是话；剑直接是那灵，然后那灵就是话。这指明我们若要对付仇敌撒但，圣经的话就必须成为那灵。我们若要用圣经的话作为剑击杀仇敌，在我们的经历中，话必须是那灵。（新约总论第十四册，二六九至二七二页。）
25In Ephesians 6:17 Paul charges us to receive “the sword of the Spirit, which Spirit is the word of God.” This means that we need to take the word of the Bible as a sword for fighting the enemy. According to Paul’s word in this verse, the word of God is the sword not directly but indirectly…The sword is not the word directly. Rather, the sword is the Spirit directly, and then the Spirit is the word. This indicates that if we would deal with the enemy Satan, the word of the Bible must become the Spirit. If we would use the word of the Bible as a sword to kill the enemy, in our experience the word must be the Spirit. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 4340-4342)

今日要点
27主题：为着那摆在我们前面的喜乐，经历耶和华的喜乐成为我们的力量
27
28引经：弗六17~18，尼八10
28
291.基督的新妇成了基督的军队：
29
30A.启十九的上文说到新妇，下文，11~21节接着指出，她成了众军跟随基督一同争战，这与弗五章说到新妇之后，六章说到争战相符，照会既是呈献给基督的新妇，也是和基督一同与神的仇敌争战的战士，礼服成了军装，嫁衣成了战袍，作为新妇，我们都必须是美丽的，作为战士，我们必须与神的仇敌争战。
30
31B.以弗所书五、六章另外给我们看出，五章使新妇美丽的话，是为了滋养，使新妇能够除去斑点、皱纹，以及这类的病，而成为美丽的新妇，而六章也提到话，弗六17指出，那灵的剑，那灵就是神的话，因此，话成了从事属灵争战之杀死的话，话不仅为着美丽，也为着争战。
31
322.经历耶和华的喜乐成为我们的力量：
32
33A.要喜乐欢腾，将自己预备好成为新妇，需要根据尼希米记八章，我们这班恢复的子民该得着鼓励，不要悲哀哭泣，要经历耶和华的喜乐是你们的力量，要预备新妇，我们需要经历主的喜乐是我们的力量，祂的喜乐托住我们，使我们能够乐在其中，不看外面的环境。
33
34B.就像倪柝声弟兄在二十年牢狱生活中，仍说，我维持自己的喜乐，他虽然在监牢中，实际上却在主里，这指明他实行使徒保罗在腓四4的话，你们要在主里常常喜乐，借着神的怜悯和恩典，但愿我们都能凭主的喜乐作我们的力量，维持我们的喜乐。
34
35应用：我们要经历圣经的话作为剑击杀我们里面的仇敌，就需要经历话成为那灵，借着不少少了事，读一段主话就运用灵呼求或祷告，停留、默想，让话发出光来，趋除我们里面一切的躲在黑暗角落里的意念和想法，而经历消极的元素被消杀，而实际经历新妇军队。
