纲目
1四 我们要操练我们的灵，就必须对付那包围我们灵之魂的各部分——我们的心思、情感和意志——参彼前三4：
1
21 能力的灵乃是灵带着被征服并复活的意志，爱的灵乃是灵带着被神这爱所充满的情感，清明自守的灵乃是灵带着被更新的心思——提后一7。
2
32 我们亲爱的主耶稣是我们魂的牧人和监督；我们的魂是我们内里的所是——真人位；主借着顾到我们里面各部分的益处，并监督我们真人位的光景，而牧养我们——彼前二25，诗二三1～6，参来十三17。
3
43 因着操练灵是联于我们魂的各部分，并且对于活在神经纶的实际中极为重要，我们就需要凭着“坚固门徒的魂”而与我们主天上的职事合作——徒十四22。
4
54 坚固门徒的魂就是：(一)坚固他们的心思，使他们认识并领会主和关于主的事（林前二16，腓三10）；(二)坚固他们的情感，使他们爱主并有心为着主的权益（可十二30，罗十六4）；(三)坚固他们的意志，使他们刚强与主同在，行主所喜 悦的事（徒十一23，西一10，帖前四1）。
5
6五 操练我们的灵，将神赐给我们的灵如火挑旺起来，乃是要常常喜乐，不住地祷告，凡事谢恩，以享受内住的灵作为在基督里作一切事的秘诀——林后十二2上，腓四11～13，诗九一1，帖前五16～18。
6
7六 操练我们的灵，将神赐给我们的灵如火挑旺起来，乃是将我们的心思置于灵——罗八6，玛二15~16：
7
81 当我们将心思置于灵，我们就有内里生命平安的感觉，就是刚强、饱足、安息、释放、活泼、滋润、明亮和舒适的感觉。
8
92 当我们将心思置于肉体，我们就有内里死的感觉，就是软弱、虚空、不适、不安、下沉、枯干、黑暗和痛苦的感觉。
9
103 我们基督徒的生活不是按照对错的标准，乃是照着灵，并且我们凭着内里生命平安的感觉认识灵——罗八6，林后二13～14。

11徒十四22 坚固门徒的魂，劝勉他们恒守信仰，又说，我们进入神的国，必须经历许多患难。
11Acts 14:22 Establishing the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith and saying that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.
12提后一7 因为神赐给我们的，不是胆怯的灵，乃是能力、爱、并清明自守的灵。
122 Tim. 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power and of love and of sobermindedness.
13人的魂是由人的心思、情感、意志所组成的。坚固门徒的魂就是：（1）坚固他们的心思，使他们认识并领会主和关于主的事；……（2）坚固他们的情感，使他们爱主并有心为着主的权益；……（3）坚固他们的意志，使他们刚强与主同在，行主所喜悦的事（圣经恢复本，徒十四22注1）。
13Man’s soul is composed of his mind, emotion, and will. To establish the souls of the disciples is to establish them (1) in their mind, that they may know and understand the Lord and the things concerning Him…; (2) in their emotion, that they may love the Lord and have a heart for the Lord’s interest…; and (3) in their will, that they may be strong to remain with the Lord and do the things that please the Lord. (Acts 14:22, footnote 1)

Today's Reading
14提后一章七节说到能力、爱、清明自守这三个项目，是很有意思的。……这是因为魂完全包围着我们的灵，而魂是由心思、情感、意志三部分所组成。所以说到灵，不是说到一个、两个或四个项目，而是三个项目。灵是由魂的三部分所包围，因此，这三部分必定与我们的灵适切相关。
14[Second Timothy 1:7] is very interesting. Three items are mentioned: power, love, and sobermindedness…This is because the soul completely surrounds our spirit. Since the soul is composed of three parts—the mind, emotion, and will— the spirit is not mentioned with one, two, or four items, but with three. The spirit is surrounded by three parts of the soul. Therefore, each of these three parts must be related to the spirit in a proper way.
15首先，我们的“意志”必须被灵征服，而成为降服的。……能力的灵指明，意志必定是被征服而向灵降服的。……有时，我们会说一个人有刚强的意志力。事实上，我们可能用错了字眼。他的意志不是刚强的，而是刚硬、顽固的。……我们的意志唯有在灵的管治下，才会刚强并有能。何时一位信徒成为殉道者，他必是刚强的；他有刚强的意志，因为那时他的意志全然降服于灵。我们的意志被征服并降服于灵时，我们的意志就变得刚强而有能。这样，我们就真正有一个能力的灵！
15First, our will has to be subdued by the spirit in order to become submissive…A spirit of power means that the will must be first subdued and then submissive to the spirit. Sometimes we describe a certain person by his strong will. Actually, we are using the wrong expression to describe that person. His is not a strong will, but a hard, stubborn one…Our will can become strong and powerful only under the control of the spirit. Whenever a believer becomes a martyr, he is strong; he has a strong will because at that time his will is completely submissive to the spirit. When our will is subdued and becomes submissive to the spirit, it becomes strong and powerful. Then we will truly have a spirit of power!
16然而，许多时候，当灵征服了我们的意志，并使其降服于主，我们会变得非常冰冷。因此，我们需要爱作为平衡。我们不仅需要能力的灵，更需要爱的灵。即使我们的意志是降服的，若是没有爱的灵，我们对人就会是冷漠的。我们甚至会批评他们，定罪他们，认为他们太叛逆了。我们必须用爱的灵平衡我们能力的灵。我们的灵必须既有能力，又有爱。
16However, many times when the spirit subdues our will and makes it submissive to the Lord, we then become very cold. Therefore, we need love as a balance. We not only need a spirit of power, but also a spirit of love. Even though our will is submissive, if we do not have a spirit of love, it is very easy for us to be cold toward others. We will even be critical of them, condemning them because they are so rebellious…We must balance our spirit of power with a spirit of love. Our spirit has to be both of power and of love.
17主耶稣在地上的时候，祂的意志是降服于灵的，祂顺从父。因此，祂的灵很刚强，却又一直满了爱。祂不仅有刚强的灵，还有爱的灵。祂非常平衡。对于那恶者撒但，祂的灵非常刚强而有能！但对于罪人和税吏，祂的灵满了爱与同情。这是真正的平衡。
17When the Lord Jesus was on earth, His will was submissive to the spirit, and He was obedient to the Father. Therefore, His spirit was very strong—but it was also continually full of love. He had not only a strong spirit, but one of love. He was very balanced. His spirit toward Satan, the evil one, was very strong and powerful! But toward the sinners and publicans, His spirit was full of love and sympathy. Here is real balance.
18我们有了情感之后，还需要再被平衡！现在我们必须有清明自守的灵。……单单只有爱，会使我们变得愚昧且盲目，甚至把我们带进黑暗里。因此，我们必须保持平衡，不要愚昧地爱，而要以健全的心思，清楚、正确、清明地来爱。
18Love is a matter of the emotion…After we become emotional, we need to be balanced again! Now we must have a spirit of sobermindedness…Love alone causes us to be foolish and blind and will even bring us into darkness. Therefore, we must be so balanced that we will not love foolishly, but clearly, properly and soberly with a sound mind.
19因此，对付灵并不是对付灵的本身，而是对付在灵周围之魂的各部分。〔正如水源是纯净的，但水也许流过硫磺，就有了硫磺味，〕问题不在于水源，乃在于水所流过的通道。……如果我们的心思错了，我们的灵就绝不可能正确。当我们的意志或情感不对时，我们的灵也绝不可能是对的。所以，我们必须对付魂的各部分：意志必须被征服，情感必须受平衡，心思必须清明或健全。如此，灵就会有能力、满了爱且是清明的。这给我们看见魂的三部分如何与灵的操练有关系（译自英文“水流报”合订本第一册，二九八至三三一页）。
19Therefore, to deal with the spirit is not a matter of dealing with the spirit itself, but with all of the parts of the soul which surround it…[A spring itself is pure, but the water may flow through sulphur or salt.] The passage through which the water flows is the problem…If our mind is wrong, our spirit could never be right. When our will or emotion are wrong, our spirit could never be right. So, we must deal with all these parts of the soul. The will has to be subdued, the emotion has to be balanced, and the mind has to be sober or sound. Then the spirit will be powerful, loving and sober. Thus, we see how these three parts of the soul are related to the exercise of the spirit. (The Stream Magazine, Book One, pp. 302-306)

今日要点
21主题：借着对付魂的各部分，而使神赐给我们的灵如火挑旺起来
21
22引经：徒十四22，提后一7
22
231.借着对付魂的各部分，而使神赐给我们的灵如火挑旺起来：
23
24A.我们要操练我们的灵，将我们的灵如火挑旺起来，就必须对付魂，因为我们的魂包围在我们灵的周围，包括心思、情感和意志，魂是中立单位，何时我们操练灵，就会如徒十四22所说，使门徒的魂得着坚固不摇动，坚固心思，使门徒认识并领会主和关乎主的事，坚固情感，使门徒爱主并有心为着主的权益，坚固意志，使门徒刚强的与主同在，而不是去向肉体靠拢，或从神独立出去。
24
25B.主耶稣就是我们的榜样，祂在地上的时候，意志降服于灵，顺从父的旨意，因此祂的灵必定很刚强，我们有时很刚强，就没有了爱，但主既是刚强的，也满有爱，对仇敌刚强，对罪人满了爱和同情，因此，对付灵并不是对付灵的本身，灵不需要对付，而是对付在灵周围之魂的各部分，就像水是纯净的，但流经硫磺谷，就有了硫磺味，问题不在水源，而在于通道，这就是我们需要对付魂的原因。
25
262.借着使神赐给我们的灵如火挑旺起来，而有能力、爱并清明自守的灵：
26
27a.在写提前三年之后，保罗又写了提后，那时召会的情形更败落了，提摩太的处境更艰难了，所以他需要得着鼓励与加强，要他操练他的灵，除去胆怯，并且挑旺他的灵，保罗特别在提后一7说到，神赐给我们的不是胆怯的灵，而是能力、爱、并清明自守的灵，能力是属于我们的意志，爱属于我们的情感，清明自守属于我们的心思，所以当我们操练灵，意志就刚强满了能力、情感满了爱、心思也会满了清明自守。
27
28B.按着神的命定，神所赐的这灵是被我们意志的能力、情感的爱、心思的清明自守所围绕，这三个助手围绕着我们的灵，来提高我们、帮助我们，如同帮助提摩太面对一切的败落，所以，借着操练自己以至于敬虔，就是操练我们能力、爱、并清明自守的灵，就能使我们活在神永远经纶的实际里。
28
29应用：借着建立操练灵的习惯，会使我们的意志降伏于主，对人不会冷漠，反而满了爱与同情，而有正确基督的活出和彰显。
