纲目

1五属灵争战乃是神的国与撒但的国之间的争战——太十二26、28：

21 神的国与撒但的国二者敌对——26、28节：

3a 神的国无论从时间说或从空间说，都是永远的；撒但的国不是永远的。

4b 神的国是合法的，而撒但的国是非法的，因为撒但的国是借着背叛神而设立的。

52 神的国不会自动来临；要使神的国来临，就需要有属灵的争战——22～29节。

63 召会的职责就是继续基督所作那抵挡撒但的得胜工作——来二14，约壹三8下，西二15，诗一四九5～9。

74 神的国就是神圣意志的行使，以神的能力去推翻撒但的能力——太六10。

85 什么时候魔鬼被赶走，什么地方仇敌的工作被神的能力取代，就是神的国临到了——十二28。

9六 “当你争战的日子，你的民要以奉献为彩饰，甘心献上自己”——诗一一〇3上：

101 就属灵的意义说，我们现今正在基督争战的日子，为着祂，我们必须成为甘心祭——利二二18，申十二6。

112 我们要从事属灵的争战，以击败神的仇敌并带进神的国，就需要绝对并彻底地奉献给主；在神的眼中，这样的奉献乃是一种彩饰——诗一一〇3上。

12太十二26 若撒但赶逐撒但，他就自相分争，他的国怎能站住？

12Matt. 12:26 And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?

1328 我若靠着神的灵赶鬼，这就是神的国临到你们了。

1328 But if I, by the Spirit of God, cast out the demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

14约十四30 以后我不再同你们多说话，因为这世界的王将到，他在我里面是毫无所有。

14John 14:30 I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and in Me he has nothing.

15召会在今天就是神掌权的一个模型。……〔神〕要借着召会捆绑撒但，消除他的权势，好使祂的名为全地所尊崇，祂的国度在全地得建立，祂的旨意在全地能通行。这就是召会的使命，这也就是召会属灵争战的目的。

15Today the church is a model of God’s reign…It is through the church that God will bind Satan and destroy his power. Thus, His name will be honored in the whole earth, His kingdom set up, and His will done. This is the commission of the church. This also is the purpose of the church’s spiritual warfare.

16宇宙中有神的国，也有撒但的国；我们所说的属灵争战，就是这两国之间的争战。

16In the universe there is the kingdom of God, and there is also the kingdom of Satan. The spiritual warfare we are speaking of is the warfare between these two kingdoms.

17神的国无论从时间说，或从空间说，都是永远的。神如何是从永远到永远的，神的国也如何是从永远到永远的。并且神的国也是光明的，就像神自己是光明的一样。撒但的国不是永远的，按时间说，是在时间里面；按空间说，只限于空中和地面。并且撒但的国也是黑暗的，和神的国相对。

17God’s kingdom is eternal, both in time and in space. Since God Himself is from eternity to eternity, so also is His kingdom from eternity to eternity. Furthermore, since God Himself is in light, so also is God’s kingdom in light. Satan’s kingdom is not eternal. As to time, it is limited in time; as to space, it is limited to the air and the earth. Furthermore, Satan’s kingdom is in darkness, the exact opposite of the kingdom of God.

18此外，还有一个很大的分别，就是神的国是合法的，而撒但的国是非法的。宇宙都是神创造的，都是属于神的，所以神有合法的权柄在其中掌权。但撒但的国，却是因着他背叛神而设立的，所以完全是非法的（李常受文集一九五三年第三册，七○三至七○四页）。

18In addition, there is still another great difference: God’s kingdom is legal, whereas the kingdom of Satan is illegal. The whole universe was created by God and belongs to Him; hence, God has the legal right to reign. On the contrary, Satan’s kingdom was established by rebellion against God; hence, it is entirely illegal. (CWWL, 1953, vol. 3, “The Experience of Life,” pp. 519-520)

19撒但的国……组织成了一个系统，由撒但借着来霸占空中和地上，以推翻神在其中的权柄，而建立他自己的国。所以撒但用他背叛的势力所组成的这个国，完全是非法的。

19The kingdom of Satan…[is] organized altogether into a system through which Satan usurps the air and the earth to the end that he may overthrow God’s authority and set up his own kingdom. Therefore, this kingdom, organized by Satan’s rebellious force, is absolutely illegal.

20新约时代开始……，主耶稣出来作工，就宣告说，“你们要悔改，因为诸天的国已经临近了。”（太四17）主这话的意思就是说，从前在这里是地上的国，是撒但的国，是撒但在掌权，现在诸天的国，就是神的国要来，神要来地上掌权。以后主教导门徒们祷告，就说，愿神的国来临〔六10〕。这事的成全，乃是在将来第七号吹响的时候（启十一15）。那时世上的国，成了神和基督的国，神的国就具体而完满地临到地上。

20At the beginning of the dispensation of the New Testament,…the Lord Jesus came forth to His ministry and declared, “Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.” What the Lord meant was that before this it was the kingdom of earth, the kingdom of Satan, wherein Satan ruled, that held sway; but now it is the kingdom of the heavens, the kingdom of God, coming upon this earth to reign. Later, He taught the disciples to pray, “Let thy kingdom come.” The full accomplishment of this matter will be seen at the sound of the seventh trumpet in the future (Rev. 11:15). Then the kingdom of this world will become the kingdom of God and Christ. Thus, God’s kingdom will practically and completely come upon the earth.

21〔现在〕就是神要祂的子民在地上为祂争战的时候。最晚从主耶稣出来作工开始，直到祂再来，所有属神的人，在地上为神所作的一切，都是属灵的争战。神就是要借着属乎祂的人，把撒但掳去的人抢救回来，而夺回撒但所霸占的地。……主在马太十二章给我们看见，〔这〕就是神的国与撒但的国之间的争战（李常受文集一九五三年第三册，七○五至七○六页）。

21[Now] is the time for the people of God to fight for Him on the earth. From the time the Lord Jesus came forth to minister, until the time of His second coming, all the works that the people of God are doing for Him are instances of spiritual warfare. God’s desire is to rescue, through those who belong to Him, the people who were captured by Satan, and to recover the earth, which was usurped by Satan. This…is, according to what the Lord has shown us in Matthew 12, the warfare between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan. (CWWL, 1953, vol. 3, “The Experience of Life,” pp. 521-522)

22许多基督徒不知道传福音的真义。圣经说，我们必须为着国度悔改（太四17）。神的国实际上就是神圣意志的行使。当罪人为着神的国悔改时，他们就从撒但那一边转到神这一边，就是转向神的国，神的意志。一个人从撒但的意志转向神的意志之后，就必须相信主耶稣并且受浸。借着受浸，他从黑暗的权势，就是撒但的意志，迁到神爱子的国里（西一13）（以弗所书生命读经，六三六页）。

22Many Christians do not know the true significance of the preaching of the gospel. The Bible says that we must repent for the kingdom (Matt. 4:17). The kingdom of God is actually the exercise of the divine will. When sinners repent for the kingdom of God, they turn from the side of Satan to the side of God, which is the kingdom of God, the will of God. After a person turns from the satanic will to the divine will, he must believe in the Lord Jesus and be baptized. Through baptism he is brought out of the authority of darkness, the satanic will, and is transferred into the kingdom of the Son of God’s love (Col. 1:13). (Life-study of Ephesians, pp. 516-517)

今日要点

24主题：献上自己有分属灵的争战，好带进国度

25引经：太十二26~28，约十四30

261.属灵的争战乃是国与国的争战：

27A. 太十二26~28说，『…撒但…他的国…我若靠神的灵赶鬼，这就是神的国临到你们了』，这段经文启示不仅有神的国，也有撒但的国，撒但的国组织了一个系统，由撒但借着来霸占空中和地上，以推翻神在其中的权柄，而建立他自己的国，这是非法的国，反之，宇宙是神所创造的，神有合法的权柄在其中掌权，因此，神的国是合法的。

28B. 属灵的争战乃是神的国与撒但的国之间的争战，这两国彼此敌对，撒但的国非法篡夺了这地，所以要使神的国来临，就需要有属灵的争战，在约十四30说，『…这世界的王将到，他在我里面是毫无所有』，基督已经击败仇敌，将魔鬼赶走，将神的国带到地上了。

292.献上自己有分属灵的争战，好带进国度：

30A. 召会在今天就是神掌权的一个模型，神要借着召会捆绑撒但，消除他的权势，好使神的名为全地所尊崇，神的国在全地得建立，神的旨意在全地能通行，这就是召会的使命，召会今天的职责就是继续基督所作那抵挡仇敌的得胜工作。

31B. 诗篇一一〇3说，『当你争战的日子，你的民要以奉献为彩饰，甘心献上自己』，就属灵的意义说，我们现今正在基督争战的日子，为着祂，我们必须成为甘心祭，我们要从事属灵的争战，以击败神的仇敌并带进神的国，就需要绝对必彻底的奉献给主，在神眼中，这漾的奉献乃是一种彩饰。

32应用：每天早晨，我们都该更新奉献自己，使我们这一天的一切生活行动，都让神掌权，不仅在我们身上经历基督得胜，也借着我们有分召会的祷告聚会，使我们把撒但掳去的人，借着我们的传福音、牧养，而抢救回来，把人从黑暗的权势，就是撒但的意志，迁到神爱子的国里。
