5提后一6 为这缘故,我提醒你,将那借我按手,在你里面神的恩赐,再如火挑旺起来。
52 Tim. 1:6 For which cause I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
6二1 所以,我的孩子,你要在基督耶稣里的恩典上得着加力。
62:1 You therefore, my child, be empowered in the grace which is in Christ Jesus.
7四22 愿主与你的灵同在。愿恩典与你们同在。
74:22 The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.
8提后四章二十二节:“愿主与你的灵同在。愿恩典与你们同在。”这一点以及将教导的灵如火挑旺起来(一6)、在恩典上得着加力(二1),必须联结、结合起来。本节结合上述两处经文,该两节经文的主要项目分别是我们的灵和恩典。
8[Second Timothy 4:22 says], “The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.” You have to join, or combine, this point with fanning the teaching spirit into flame (1:6) and being empowered in the grace (2:1). This verse combines those two verses. In these verses the main items are our spirit and grace.
9提摩太后书教导人如何对抗召会的堕落,有力地强调我们的灵。该书一开始就强调能力、爱并清明自守的灵已经赐给我们,借此我们能将神的恩赐,如火挑旺起来,并且按神的能力以及主分赐生命的恩典,与福音同受苦难(一6~10)。到了结语,该书强调主与我们的灵同在,且以此祝福我们,使我们享受祂作恩典,以站住抵挡召会败落中那下坡的流,并借着祂内住的灵(一14)和装备的话(三16~17),完成神的经纶(李常受文集一九八五年第三册,七○六至七○七页)。
9Second Timothy, which gives instruction on how to confront the degradation of the church, strongly stresses our spirit. In the beginning it emphasizes that a strong, loving, and sound spirit has been given to us by which we can fan the gift of God into flame and suffer evil with the gospel according to the power of God and the Lord’s life-imparting grace (1:6-10). In the conclusion it blesses us with the emphasis of the Lord being with our spirit so that we may enjoy Him as grace to stand against the downward current of the church’s decline and to carry out God’s economy through His indwelling Spirit (v. 14) and equipping Word (3:16-17). (CWWL, 1985, vol. 3, “Elders’ Training, Book 6: The Crucial Points of the Truth in Paul’s Epistles,” p. 551)

10在召会堕落加剧的艰难日子里,所需要的乃是神永远的恩典,这恩典是在永远里所赐给我们的(一9),也是在今世供我们取用的。这在不能毁坏之生命里的恩典,一点不差就是那位是神圣生命的具体化身,且居住并活在我们灵里之神的儿子基督。我们必须运用我们的灵,以享受这位基督的丰富(弗三8)作够用的恩典(林后十二9)。这样,我们就可以活祂作我们的敬虔(提前四7~8),好建造召会作祂的见证,照着神的经纶担负一切神圣的实际(李常受文集一九八五年第三册,七○七页)。
10In the grievous days during the worsening degradation of the church, what is needed is the eternal grace of God, which was given to us in eternity (2 Tim. 1:9) and is appropriated by us in this age. This grace, which is in the indestructible life, is nothing less than Christ the Son of God, who is the very embodiment of the divine life, dwelling and living in our spirit. We need to exercise this spirit to enjoy the riches of Christ (Eph. 3:8) as the sufficient grace (2 Cor. 12:9). Thus we may live Him as our godliness (1 Tim. 4:7-8) for the building up of the church as a testimony of Christ, bearing all the divine realities according to God’s economy. (CWWL, 1985, vol. 3, “Elders’ Training, Book 6: The Crucial Points of the Truth in Paul’s Epistles,” pp. 551-552)
11我们若不经历主与我们的灵同在〔提后四22〕,而失去了恩典,那就是召会的堕落。……我们最高的享受,最高的经历,就是我们的主与我们的灵同在。创造天地的主,万有的主宰,今天竟与我们的灵同在,这是天大的事。主与我们同在,不是在我们的头脑、思想里;祂乃是那灵,与我们的灵同在。我三十多年前到美国来,带着一个专一的负担,就是要讲这二灵—那灵与人的灵。当初许多美国圣徒都说,他们从来不知道人有灵。……现在基督徒提到人的灵,是更普遍了。最近主又给我们看见,经历神生机救恩的秘诀,就在于“那灵自己同我们的灵”(罗八16)。今天基督是那灵,我们要经历、享受祂,就必须是在我们的灵里。我能见证,按我今天的年龄,若没有主与我的灵同在,我就无法担负主的恢复和众召会的重担。有人劝我不要活动那么多,但我感谢赞美主,是主作为那灵与我同在,叫我能这样活动。我一起床就说,“主啊,我与你一同起床。”我一下床就说,“主啊,我不光借着你走,更是和你一同走,是你搀着我走。”……感谢主,今天主就是那灵;我们能在灵里享受祂,这是极大的福气。这样享受主的灵在我们的灵里,就是有恩典与我们同在。把这个失去了,就是召会的堕落(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第五册,三一九至三二○页)。
11If we do not experience the Lord’s being with our spirit [2 Tim. 4:22] and therefore lose the presence of grace, that is the degradation of the church… Our highest enjoyment and experience are that our Lord is with our spirit. The Lord, who is the Creator of heaven and earth, the sovereign Lord of all, is with our spirit…The Lord’s being with us is not in our mind or our thoughts; He as the Spirit is with our spirit. Over thirty years ago I came to the United States with a specific burden, that is, to speak concerning the two spirits, the divine Spirit and our human spirit. In those days many American saints said that they never knew that man has a spirit…Now it is more common for Christians to refer to the human spirit. Recently, the Lord also has shown us that the secret of experiencing God’s organic salvation lies in “the Spirit…with our spirit” (Rom. 8:16). Today Christ is the Spirit, and if we want to experience and enjoy Him, we must be in our spirit. I can testify that, according to my age, without the Spirit’s being with my spirit, I could not bear the burden of the Lord’s recovery and the churches. Some have advised me to not have so many activities, but I thank and praise the Lord that it is the Lord as the Spirit with me who enables me to have such activities. As soon as I rise from my bed, I say, “O Lord, I rise with You.” The moment I touch the floor, I say, “O Lord, not only do I walk by You, but I walk with You. You are holding me while I am walking.”…Thank the Lord, today the Lord is the Spirit, and we can enjoy Him in the spirit. This is an exceedingly great blessing. To enjoy the Lord’s Spirit being in our spirit is to have grace with us. When this is lost, the degradation of the church is present.

今日要点
13主题:认识并经历二灵,使我们享受主作恩典
13
151.保罗对提摩太的鼓励,关乎灵与恩典:
15
16A.保罗在提摩太后书,教导人如何对抗召会的堕落,如何面对召会堕落加剧的艰难日子,在提后一6,保罗鼓励提摩太,『为这缘故,我提醒你,将那借我按手,在你里面神的恩赐,再如火挑旺起来』,而到了提后四22上,这卷书的末了,他说,『愿主与你的灵同在,』以此祝福我们,这指明保罗有力的强调我们的灵,我们的灵乃是面对一切环境的重要关键。
16
17B.此外,提摩太后书也开始于提后一9,奇妙的基督作我们拯救的恩典(一9),继续于提后二1,『你要在基督耶稣的恩典上得着加力』 ,经历祂作我们加力的恩典,并结束于提后四22下,『愿恩典与你同在,』经历祂作我们常在的恩典,而提后四22同时说到灵和恩典,指明我们要运用我们的灵,以取用主作恩典,以面对召会败落的下坡情形。
17
182.经历主与我们的灵同在,作我们加力的恩典,作我们基督徒生活和召会生活的资本:
18
19A.经历主与我们的灵同在,作我们加力的恩典,作我们基督徒生活和召会生活的资本,所以,我们若不经历主与我们的灵同在,而失去了恩典,那就是召会的堕落,提摩太能够借着操练他的灵,在他的灵里,取用主作他面对一切难处的恩典,这恩典一点不差就是神圣生命的具体化身,且居住并活在我们灵里之神的儿子耶稣基督。
19
20B.职事的负担就是供应二灵-主就是那灵,在我们人的灵里,作我们的恩典;因此,我们在地上最高的享受,最高的经历,就是经历主与我们的灵同在,使我们享受祂作我们加力的恩典,使我们能在召会中供应神永远经纶的健康教训,讲说生命之恩的健康话语,为着生机的建造召会作基督的身体。
20
21应用:我们常听见弟兄姊妹说,主与我同在,但这可能只是一种在头脑里的思想或宣告,惟有运用我们的灵,以享受基督的丰富作够用的恩典,我们才能真实、实际地经历主与我们的灵同在,恩典与我们同在,为此我们要操练一早下床就说,主,我不光借着你走,更要和你一同走,这样就能经历恩典作为极大的福气。
