15使徒行传是使徒活动的记载,使徒的活动总是以他们的祷告来配合。我们所交通关于使徒行传里的各种祷告,给我们看见我们需要怎样的祷告。我们需要学习门徒在使徒行传里那样的祷告。这样的祷告能震动环境,摇动监牢的地基,摇动地,摇脱一切的锁链,并打开门。这样的祷告也会带我们进入魂游象外,带我们进入神里面,并将神带进我们里面。然后我们就能与神谈话,领受祂的使命,并受祂的差遣。……我们需要神圣的生命,也需要祷告,叫我们完成一切重要的步骤,使基督的身体借着我们的工作,生机地建造起来(李常受文集一九八九年第一册,四三五至四三七、四三九页)。
15The book of Acts is a record of the activities of the apostles, and the apostles’ activities were always matched by their prayers. All the kinds of prayers that we have fellowshipped about in the book of Acts show the kind of prayer that we need to pray. We need to learn to pray the way the disciples in Acts prayed. This kind of prayer can shake the environment, shake the foundation of the prison, shake the earth, shake off all the chains, and open the doors. This prayer will also bring us into a trance, bring us into God, and bring God into us. Then we can converse with God, receive His commission, and receive His sending…We need the divine life, and we need prayer for us to accomplish all the crucial steps for the Body of Christ to be built up organically through our work.
