9太六10 愿你的国来临,愿你的旨意行在地上,如同行在天上。
9Matt. 6:10 Your kingdom come; Your will be done, as in heaven, so also on earth.
10弗六11~12 要穿戴神全副的军装,使你们能以站住,抵挡魔鬼的诡计,因我们并不是与血肉之人摔跤,乃是与那些执政的、掌权的、管辖这黑暗世界的、以及诸天界里那邪恶的属灵势力摔跤。
10Eph. 6:11-12 Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the stratagems of the devil, for our wrestling is not against blood and flesh but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenlies.
11一九二八年倪弟兄召开第一次得胜者特会,说到属灵的争战。……倪弟兄指出,在宇宙中有三个意志:神的意志、撒但的意志以及人的意志。我们若要知道召会如何能作神的战士,从事属灵的争战,我们就必须认识这三个意志,这三个意愿。神的意志是自有永有的,是永远的、非受造的。作为受造之物的天使也有意志。众天使中的一位,就是天使长,受神指派管理亚当被造之前的宇宙。这天使长因着自己的高位和美丽,就变得骄傲起来。这骄傲使他兴起邪恶的意图,这就成了撒但的意志。因此,在神的意愿,神的意志之外,还有第二个意愿,第二个意志;因为撒但的意志如今是对抗神的意志的(以弗所书生命读经,六三四页)。
11In 1928 Brother Nee held his first overcomer conference on spiritual warfare…Brother Nee pointed out that in the universe there are three wills: the divine will, the satanic will, and the human will. If we would know how the church can be God’s warrior to engage in spiritual warfare, we must know these three wills, these three intentions. God’s will, being self-existing, is eternal, uncreated. As created beings, the angels also have a will. One of these angels, an archangel, was appointed by God to rule the universe that existed before the creation of Adam. Because of his high position and his beauty, this archangel became proud. This pride gave rise to an evil intention, which became the satanic will. Therefore, in addition to God’s intention, God’s will, there is a second intention, a second will, for now the satanic will is set against God’s will. (Life-study of Ephesians, p. 515)

12一切争战都源自这两个意志的冲突。在撒但的意志兴起与神的意志敌对之前,宇宙中没有争战。宇宙中的冲突起始于天使长对神的背叛。那背叛乃是现今发生在国家之间,以及社会、家庭和个人里面一切争战的起头。历代以来,国家、团体、人群之间,甚至人自己里面,都一直有争战。譬如,你也许经历理智与情欲内里的争战。各式各样的争战,其源头都在于神的意志与撒但的意志之间的冲突。
12All warfare has its source in this conflict of wills. Before the satanic will rose up to contradict the divine will, there was no war in the universe. The controversy in the universe began with the rebellion of the archangel against God. That rebellion was the beginning of all the fighting that is now taking place among nations, in society, in the family, and in individuals. Throughout history there have been wars between nations, groups, persons, and even within individuals. For example, you may experience an inner warfare between your reason and your lust. All the different kinds of warfare have their source in the controversy between the divine will and the satanic will.
13我们不知道撒但背叛和亚当受造之间相隔有多久。我们只知道在某个时候,神造了人,并且赋与他自由的意志。因着神的伟大,祂给人自由的意志。……神给人自由的意志,指明祂不勉强人顺从祂。我年轻时,认为神创造人时给人自由意志是不智慧的。我若是神,我必定叫人无所选择;……但神是伟大的,祂给人选择的自由。
13We do not know how much time elapsed between the rebellion of Satan and the creation of Adam. We simply know that at a particular time, God created man and endowed him with a human will that was free. It is because of God’s greatness that He gave man a free will …By giving man a free will, God was indicating that He would not force man to obey Him. When I was young, I thought that God was not wise in creating man with a free will. If I had been God, I would have made it impossible for man to have had a choice…But in His greatness God gave man freedom of choice.
14我们在创世记二章看见,人可以自由地运用他的意志,或吃生命树,或吃善恶知识树。这两棵树分别代表神的意志和撒但的意志。因此,在园子里有一个三角的局面:生命树代表神的意志,善恶知识树代表撒但的意志,亚当代表人的意志。实际上,生命树是指神自己,善恶知识树是指撒但。所以,有三个人位—神、撒但和人—各有一个意志。
14In Genesis 2 we see that man was free to exercise his will to eat either of the tree of life or of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. These two trees represent the divine will and the satanic will, respectively. Hence, in the garden there was a triangular situation, with the tree of life representing the divine will, the tree of knowledge representing the satanic will, and Adam representing the human will. Actually, the tree of life denotes God Himself, and the tree of knowledge denotes Satan. Therefore, there were three persons— God, Satan, and man—each one with a will.
15虽然有三个意志,但冲突只牵涉两方—神和撒但。要紧的问题乃是,人是选择神的意志还是选择撒但的意志。……我们都知道,人的意志是站在撒但意志的那一边。这意思是说,人拣选跟从撒但,与撒但的意志站在同一边。所以撒但暂时得了胜。然而,借着悔改,人能从撒但的意志转向神的意志,从撒但那一边转到神这一边。
15Although there were three wills, the controversy involved just two parties—God and Satan. The crucial issue was whether man would choose the divine will or the satanic will …As we all know, the human will took sides with the satanic will. This means that man chose to follow Satan and sided with the satanic will. Therefore, Satan was victorious temporarily. However, through repentance man can turn from the satanic will to the divine will, from Satan’s side to God’s side.
16神的仇敌……必须被击败。为此,召会必须是战士。……因此,……我们……争战,为要征服撒但的意志。……我们的争战是为着击败神的仇敌(以弗所书生命读经,六三四至六三七页)。
16God’s enemy must be defeated. For this, the church must be a warrior… Therefore, …we fight to subdue the satanic will …Our fighting is for the defeat of God’s enemy. (Life-study of Ephesians, pp. 515-517)

今日要点
18主题:有分属灵争战,为着带进神的国
18
19引经:太六10弗六11~12
19
201.属灵争战的目的就是要带进神的国:
20
21A.我们需要思考主为什么要在太六10祷告说,『愿你的国来临,愿你的旨意行在地上,如同行在天上』,要把神的国带到地上,与神的旨意(或,神的意志)行在地上有关,此外,主这样祷告也说出,有一个属灵的争战正在进行,为带进神的国,也就是在今世活在神国的实际里,而在来世带进国度的实现,我们需要有属灵的争战。
21
22B. 属灵争战的目的就是要带进神的国,属灵争战是必须的,因为撒但的意志在对抗神的意志,因为属灵争战的源头,乃在于神的意志与撒但意志之间的冲突,天使长路西弗因着自己的高位和美丽而骄傲,以致兴起邪恶、要与神同等的意图,这就成了撒但的意志,路西弗的背叛,乃是现今发生在国家之间,以及社会、家庭和个人里面一切争战的起头。
22
232.人的意志必须与神的意志站在一起:
23
24A.然而,神为了要击败撒但,造了人,神要受造的『人』对付受造且堕落的『撒但』,为此,人的意志必须与神的意志站在一起,在创二,人可以自由的运用意志,或吃生命树,或吃善恶知识树,这代表人可以选择神的意志,或选择撒但的意志,可惜,亚当最终选择了撒但的意志,所以撒但暂时得了胜。
24
25B. 首先的亚当失败了,但末后的亚当基督,站在了神的意志这边,今天我们借着悔改,能从撒但的意志转向神的意志,从撒但那一边转到人这一边,神的仇敌撒但必须被击败,为此,召会必须是战士,经历弗六11~12所说,『要穿戴神全副的军装,使你们能以站住,抵挡魔鬼的诡计,因我们并不是与血肉之人摔跤,乃是与那些执政的、掌权的、管辖这黑暗世界的、以及诸天界里邪恶的属灵势力摔跤』,我们的争战乃是要征服撒但的意志,并击败神的仇敌。
25
26应用:今天我们已经看见这场争战正在进行,为此我们要借着祷告,转回灵里,并运用自由的意志,拣选神的意志,吃生命树,倚靠生命树而活,使神的国来临,使神的旨意能够行在地上,如同行在天上。
