纲目
1四 我们需要像使徒保罗一样,对基督有深处的经历——林后十二1~4
1
21 保罗被提到第三层天里,并且被提进乐园里,但他到十四年后才说这个经历;保罗的根是深深地长在地下的。
2
32 我们要有保罗的工作,就得有保罗的“根”;我们要有保罗外面的生活,就得有保罗里面的生命;我们要有保罗显露的能力,就得有保罗隐密的经历。
3
43 没有根,就是没有隐藏的宝贝;没有根,就是没有隐藏的生命,没有隐藏的经历;有些经历我们必须遮盖起来;一切若都不遮盖起来,就要失去一切了——参赛三九2~8
4
54 没有深处的生活,我们只能用表面的工作得着人表面的感动;只有“深渊……与深渊响应”。
5
6五 纯洁、美丽的属灵生活,是出自与神内里、隐藏、不间断的交通;所以说,“他必如百合花开放,如利巴嫩的树木扎根”(何十四5);这样的生活能多结果子(5~7)。
6
7六 要有深处的生活,就必须与主有直接、亲密的交通;雅歌四章十二节说,“我妹子,我新妇,乃是关锁的园,禁闭的井,封闭的泉”:
7
81 这时爱主的寻求者在其属灵长进上成为一个园子,作基督私有的享受。
8
92 她不是一个公园,乃是一个关锁的园;她所有的一切,只求良人的喜悦,不求人的喜悦。
9
103 如果今天的信徒关锁多一点,盖扎得紧一点,他们作工就会更有功效。
10
114 愿主恩待我们,让十字架在我们里面作更深的工,好使我们深深扎根,过深处隐藏的生活,以满足神的要求,使神心满意足。

12林后十二3~4 并且我认得这样一个人(或在身内,或在身外,我都不晓得,只有神晓得),他被提进乐园里,听见不能言传的话语,是人不可说的。
122 Cor. 12:3-4 And I know such a man (whether in the body or outside the body, I do not know; God knows), that he was caught away into Paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not allowed for a man to speak.
13许多弟兄姊妹经不起神的显现,经不起神的启示,什么时候得着了一点,他们就要吹号了,一下子什么人都知道了。……保罗……是何等的深!我们若能把神的东西保守七年已经够好了,但是保罗藏了十四年〔林后十二2〕。十四年之久,神的召会不知道保罗这个经历;十四年之久,使徒们不知道保罗这个经历。保罗是一个有根的人!
13Many of us cannot stand the test of visions and revelations; as soon as we have a little experience, we blow the trumpet, and everyone knows about it …What depth there was in Paul! It would be a wonder if we could hide away something we received from God for seven years. But for fourteen years Paul never divulged his experience; for fourteen years God’s church knew nothing of it; for fourteen years not one of the apostles had heard of it. Paul’s roots were deep beneath the soil.
14根是主要的问题。要有保罗的工作,就得有保罗的根;要有保罗的生活,就得有保罗的生命;要有保罗外面的能力,就得有保罗里面的经历。今天的难处,就是在神的儿女中藏不了属灵的东西,藏不了特别的经历。只要有一点的经历,就给许多人知道了。……这就是没有根。我们要求神给我们看见保罗的经历,带领我们往深处去(倪柝声文集第二辑第十七册,五四至五五页)。
14This matter of root is a matter of extreme importance. If you want to have Paul’s work, then you need to have Paul’s “root”; if you want to have Paul’s outward conduct, then you need to have Paul’s inner life; if you want to have Paul’s manifest power, then you need to have Paul’s secret experience. The trouble with Christians today is that they cannot keep any spiritual thing or any special experience undisclosed. As soon as they have a little experience, they have to tell it abroad…They do not have any root. May God show us Paul’s experience, and may He lead us into having depth! (CWWN, vol. 37, pp. 39-40)
信息选读
Today’s Reading
15以赛亚三十九章说到巴比伦王听见希西家病而痊愈,就送书信和礼物给他。希西家虽然蒙了神的恩典,却经不起神的恩典。圣经记载说,“希西家喜欢见使者,就把他的宝库,银子、金子、香料和贵重的膏油,以及他整个军器库,并他所珍藏的一切,都给他们看。”(赛三九2)他经不起试探。
15In Isaiah 39 we are told that when the news of Hezekiah’s sickness and recovery reached the Babylonian court, messengers were dispatched with letters and a present for Hezekiah. Hezekiah had been a recipient of the grace of God, but he was unable to stand the test of grace. God’s Word says, “Hezekiah was glad for them and showed them his treasury, the silver and the gold, and the spices and the fine oil, and his whole armory and everything which was found among his treasures” (v. 2). Hezekiah could not overcome the temptation to display everything.
16那么,我们该不该作见证呢?见证是该作的,保罗也作见证,历世历代许多神的儿女都作见证。不过,作见证是一件事,喜欢显露自己的经历又是一件事。我们为着什么要作见证呢?是因为要人得着益处,不是因为自己喜欢讲。
16Then should we not bear testimony? Yes, we should. Paul did so, and multitudes of God’s children from generation to generation have done so too. But bearing testimony is one thing; delighting in exhibiting one’s experience is quite another. What is our object in testifying?
17作见证说神在你身上作了何等大的事是可以的,但是拿来当作新闻告诉人,就是显露自己,就叫作没有根。没有根,就是没有暗中的宝贝,……没有暗中的生命,……没有暗中的经历。有许多的经历,我们要留起来;如果不留起来,我们就要失去所有的了。
17We may speak of the great things the Lord has done for us, but we must not publish these things abroad as items of news; this only exposes ourselves as being without any root. To be without root is to be without any treasure; it is to be without any hidden life or hidden experiences. It is essential that some of our experiences remain covered; to uncover everything is to lose everything.
18我们所有在神面前隐秘的东西,不能都拿出来。……神在里面动,我们才能动。有的时候,神要你对弟兄说话,你可不要把它压住了;你如果压住了,你就违反了肢体的律。肢体有一个律就是交通;你一压住,就不能流通。我们要积极,不能消极,我们要将生命给人。但是,一天到晚想自己,一天到晚说自己的事情,这一种的多话,这一种的显露,是要叫自己受攻击的。我们盼望一面知道什么是身体,知道身体上的流通,另一面我们在主的面前,有我们隐藏的部分,就是许多经历是人所不知道的。所有的根,都是不能显露的。
18Whatever secrets we have with the Lord must be preserved …Only if He moves within us to reveal something, dare we reveal it. If He wants us to share some experience with a brother, we dare not withhold it, for that would be violating a law of the members of the Body of Christ. One law of the members of the Body of Christ is fellowship. Once we suppress this law, the flow stops. We must be positive, not negative, and minister life to others. But if we are engrossed all day with ourselves and with our own things, this talkativeness and exposure opens us to assault from the enemy. I trust we will learn what the Body of Christ is and what the flow of life among the members is; but I trust we will also learn the need for safeguarding the hidden part we have before the Lord, the experiences that are not known to others. No root should be exposed.
19往深处去的,往下面扎根的,结局你就看见深渊与深渊响应。你里面有深的,人的深处就要被摸着。你只要里面动一动,人就得着帮助,人就要得着光,人就知道在那里有一件东西是他所不知道的。……没有深处,你只能用表面的工作得着人表面的感动。我们说了再说,只有深渊是与深渊响应的(倪柝声文集第二辑第十七册,五五至六○页)。
19As we extend ourselves deeper and take root downward, we will discover that “deep calls unto deep.” When we can bring forth riches from the depths of our inner life, we will find that other lives will be deeply affected. The minute our inner being is touched, others will receive help and be enlightened. They will know that there is something beyond their knowledge…If our life has no depth, our superficial work will only affect other lives superficially. We repeat yet again—only “deep calls unto deep.” (CWWN, vol. 37, pp. 40-44)

今日要点
21主题:借著成为关锁的园,对基督有深处的经历,而过国度的生活
21
22引经:林后十二3~4
22
231.以保罗为榜样,对基督有深的经历:
23
24a.保罗在林后十二章的一段话,不经意地透露出,他对基督有深处的经历,在3~4说,『并且我认得这样一个人,(或在身内,或在身外,我都不晓得,只有神晓得,)他被提进乐园里,听见不能言传的话语,是人不可说的』,保罗把这经历藏了十四年之久,才借著书信讲出这个经历。
24
25b.这就是为什么我们不是保罗,若我们什么时候得着了一点对神的启示或经历,我们都藏不住、经不起,立刻就吹号,盼望全世界的人都知道,我们经不起神的显现和启示,说出我们是浅的人,不像保罗是一个有根的人,要有保罗的生活和工作,就需要有保罗那有根的生活。
25
262.成为关锁的园,作基督私有的享受:
26
27a.以赛亚三十九章说到巴比伦王听见希西家病得痊愈,就派使者送礼,结果希西家就把宝库的一切珍藏都给他们看,这说出一个人蒙了神的恩典,却经不起神的恩典,这不是说,我们不该作见证,见证是该作,但里面却喜欢显露自己的经历,这就说出我们没有跟,没有暗中的生命,这就无法有深渊与深渊的响应。
27
28b. 何西阿书十四5说,『他必如百合华开放,如利巴嫩的树木扎根』,这样的生活就能多结果子,雅歌四12说,『我妹子,我新妇,乃是关锁的园,禁闭的井,封闭的泉』,作主私有的享受,这指出,要有深处的生活,就必须与主有直接、亲密的交通,借此操练过隐藏的生活,而过国度的生活。
28
29应用:因此我们需要花时间来吸取祂,特别是早晨与主同在的时间,不能像是公园对外完全开放,手机、报纸、影片等都跑进来,反之,我们对主要像关锁的园,让主享受,不让人享受,只求良人的喜悦,不求人的喜悦,这样我们就能过隐藏的生活,而过国度的生活。
