21我们若对主今日的行动认真,就必须每天每早晨被那灵充满。我们需要认罪,但我们也需要出代价。进到我们灵里的圣灵是白白赐给的;但充满我们全人,尤其是浸透我们魂的那灵,不是白白给的。这是你必须出代价去得的,你必须买。我们作为罪人悔改并认罪、相信主耶稣时,立刻就得着重生,那灵就白白地赐给我们。但我们天天需要祂的充满、祂的浸透,从我们的灵浸润我们的魂。我们需要出代价。……我们许多人爱我们的床过于爱主。我们在每天的生活中,也许爱许多事物。这些事物即使不是罪恶的,却顶替了主。我们也许不把我们上好的爱给祂,乃是给许多其他的东西。现在我们必须放下这一切其他的东西,意思就是我们必须出代价预备好自己。
21If we do mean business with the Lord’s present-day move, we must be filled with the Spirit every morning of every day. We need to confess our sins, but we also need to pay the price. The Spirit who came into our spirit was given freely, but the saturating Spirit to fill our entire being, especially our soul, is not free. It is something that we have to pay the price for, that we have to buy. When we as sinners repented and confessed our sins and believed in the Lord Jesus, we immediately got regenerated, and the Spirit was given to us freely. But daily we need His filling, His saturating, from our spirit to penetrate our soul. We need to pay the price…Many of us love our beds more than the Lord. In our daily life we may love a lot of things. Even though these things may not be sinful, they are replacements of the Lord. We may not give our first love to Him but to many other things. Now we have to drop all these other things, which means that we have to pay the price to get ourselves ready.
