6罗八16 那灵自己同我们的灵见证我们是神的儿女。
6Rom. 8:16 The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God.
7林前二15 唯有属灵的人看透万事,却没有一人看透他。
71 Cor. 2:15 But the spiritual man discerns all things, but he himself is discerned by no one.
8我们若不儆醒祷告,就会偏离神经纶的目标—基督作为那灵住在我们灵里。……我们唯有借着转向我们的灵,才能照着基督行事为人。我们在个人的行事中需要儆醒祷告;当我们与别人在一起时,需要顾到我们灵里生命的感觉,而活在我们的灵里(参罗八6)。……唯有持续的祷告,才能保守我们在灵里。
8If we do not watch and pray, we will miss the mark of God’s economy— Christ as the Spirit dwelling in our spirit…It is only by turning to our spirit that we can walk and have our being according to Christ. In our personal walk we need to watch and pray, and when we are with others, we need to live in our spirit by caring for the sense of life in our spirit (cf. Rom. 8:6)…Only continual prayer keeps us in our spirit [cf. 1 Thes. 5:17].
9今天神的灵,三一神包罗万有的灵,住在我们重生之人的灵里,并在我们的灵里运行。这二灵乃是一,共同生活、工作、存在,成为一个调和的灵。……照着我们的灵而行,可视为圣经里对信徒终极的嘱咐(李常受文集一九七九年第一册,一六二至一六三页)。
9The Spirit of God today, the all-inclusive Spirit of the Triune God, dwells in our regenerated human spirit and works in our spirit. These two spirits are one; they live, work, and exist together as one mingled spirit…To walk according to our spirit may be considered the consummate charge in the Scriptures to the believers. (CWWL, 1979, vol. 1, p. 130)

10要留意你的灵。你魂所有的内室必须受灵管制。……你里面的中央政府是什么?很抱歉,我不信是你的灵。……弟兄们来在一起,因为他们由祷告开始,中央政府就施行管理。谈话的前几分钟继续祷告的气氛;但过不了多久,中央政府就崩溃了。一位弟兄发表他的意见;另一位说,第一位不熟悉状况,所以不知道如何正确地处理。……你祷告时留意你的灵,与弟兄们谈话时却忽视你的灵,这是正确的么?
10Care for your spirit. All the inner chambers of your soul must be controlled by the spirit…What is the central government in you? Sorry, I do not believe it is your spirit. When the brothers come together, the central government is in control because they begin by praying. The first few minutes of talk continue the atmosphere of prayer. But before too many minutes have gone by, the central government collapses. One brother expresses his opinions. Another says that the first is unfamiliar with the situation and therefore does not know how to handle it properly…Is it right to heed your spirit when you pray, but disregard it when you talk to your brothers?
11你若是较年长的,你的意见也许不是这么明显。……你表面上平易近人;然而,你里面不情愿,也不满意。这种不满意也许成了你的中央政府。……在姊妹们的中央政府里,情感占有总统、行政院长、参谋总长的职位。灵在她们祷告时有用,但她们生气时,就觉得必须发泄她们的情感。后来她们会悔改,但她们当时还是向脾气让步了。……有些圣徒是以快速行动为中央政府。他们不顾到灵,就作决定、采取行动并将事作成,且是越快越好。
11If you are older, your opinions may not be so manifested…Outwardly, you are smooth and agreeable. Inwardly, however, you are unwilling and dissatisfied. Dissatisfaction may be your central government. In the central government of the sisters, emotion holds the posts of president, prime minister, and chief of staff. The spirit is useful when they pray, but when they are angry, they feel they must give vent to their emotions. Later, they will repent, but at the time they give way to their temper. The central government of some saints is quick action. Without regard for the spirit, they make decisions, take action, and get things done, the quicker the better.
12似乎只有我们祷告时,我们的灵才得着正常的地位。我们一祷告完,实际上就是说,“灵啊,再见。现在我的祷告结束了,我不再需要你了。我要以自己的方式料理事情。”这样的态度使我们像不信者一样。……甚至主也无法管制你。……神是在你的灵里管制你。你若不接触祂,祂就无法管制你。主像电一样。电流若无法通到插座,你即使把灯插上插头,打开开关时灯也不会亮。
12It seems that only when we pray is our spirit given its normal place. As soon as we finish praying, we in effect say, “Goodbye, spirit. Now that my praying is over, I do not need you any longer. I want to take care of things myself in my way.” This kind of attitude makes us like the unbelievers. Even the Lord has no way to control you…God controls you in your spirit. If you do not contact Him, He cannot control you. The Lord is like electricity. If the current cannot get through to the outlet, you may have the lamp plugged in, but the light will not go on when you turn the switch.
13我们让灵作我们的中央政府会如何呢?我们会发觉我们的思想受约束。我们不敢发表自己的意见,言语不会这样轻易的从我们口中出来。我们的骄傲会被击杀。甚至在我们所行最小的事上,我们也会感受到约束或困迫。……你在灵以外,就觉得可以随意生活。你也许恨别人、说谎或偷窃。你的行动也许很狂野。论到那些完全忽视灵,忽视他们与神最接近之部分的人,圣经说,“神就任凭他们。”(罗一28)……然而,你得救以后,神要将你转向你的灵。那是祂所在之处,在那里你就能接触祂。在大事上,在小事上,甚至在你的言语上,神都要将你带到祂严格的管制之下(李常受文集一九七九年第一册,五二五至五二七页)。
13What is it like to let the spirit be our central government? We will find our thoughts restricted. We will not dare to utter our opinion. Words will not come out of our mouth so lightly. Our pride will be smitten. We will sense a restraint or a constraint in even the smallest things we do. When you were out of the spirit, you felt free to live as you wanted. You may have hated others, told lies, or stolen. Your actions may have been wild. The Bible says of those who utterly disregarded their spirit, the part of their being closest to God, that “God gave them up” (Rom. 1:28)…After you are saved, however, God would have you turn to your spirit. That is the place where He is, the place where He may be contacted. God wants to bring you under His strict control, in big things and in small, even in your words.

今日要点
15主题:完成神的经纶的路,乃是借着操练我们的灵
15
16引经:罗八16林前二15
16
171.受我们灵的管治并支配,使我们的灵成为全人最刚强的部分:
17
18A.人的堕落,使人的灵死了,人的中央政府就从灵转到魂,变成我们的心思、意见、情感等控制我们这个人,当人重生时,就如罗八10所说,人的灵因义是生命,16节保罗接着说,那灵自己同我们的灵见证我们是神的儿女,不仅能够经历灵重生,还能经历罗八6心思置于灵,乃是生命平安,更能经历罗八11那灵赐生命给我们必死的身体。
18
19B.所以我们不该追求天然观念里的属灵,好像说话慢慢的,走路不疾不徐,就是属灵,不,属灵的人乃是以人的灵,作为人里面的中央政府并最重要的部分,一个受自己的灵管治并支配的人,就是林前二15所说能够看透万事之属灵的人,他们否认魂,不凭魂活着,而让他被神的灵所占有并推动的灵,就是他重生的灵,作主人,使魂里的心思、情感和意志,都受灵管治,进而管治他的全人。
19
202.完成神经纶伟大的路,乃是我们借着操练我们的灵:
20
21A.神的经纶战略、中心的点,乃是神圣的灵住在人的灵里,二者调和一起成为一灵,就是调和的灵,因此,完成神经纶伟大的路,乃是我们借着操练我们的灵,照着那灵生活并作一切的事,每当我们转向我们的灵,并操练我们的灵,我们就会经历那灵同我们的灵,是我们经历生机救恩的秘诀。
21
22B.在但以理书可见,伯沙撒看见手指头在墙上写字,他就害怕双膝彼此相碰,然而,但以理这一位有美好之灵的人,听见文书已经签署,他向神祷告的行为会被丢到狮子坑,他却回到家中,双膝跪下,面向耶路撒冷,祷告感谢,因他素常就是这样行,可以说,他建立了这样运用灵的习惯,最终,神也拯救他脱离狮子坑,从这旧约图画说到新约的事,使我们看见,当我们在灵里,就胜过世界,我们不能犯罪,那恶者也不能摸我们,使我们蒙保守,远避偶像。
22
23应用:借着操练灵,使我们照着灵而行,我们的思想就会受约束,骄傲会被击败,使我们能够活基督,把基督活出来。
