5弗六17~18 还要借着各样的祷告和祈求,接受救恩的头盔,并那灵的剑,那灵就是神的话;时时在灵里祷告,并尽力坚持,在这事上儆醒,且为众圣徒祈求。
5Eph. 6:17-18 And receive the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which Spirit is the word of God, by means of all prayer and petition, praying at every time in spirit and watching unto this in all perseverance and petition concerning all the saints.
6西四2 你们要坚定持续地祷告,在此儆醒感恩。
6Col. 4:2 Persevere in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving.
7我们必须坚定持续地祷告〔西四2〕,因为祷告与争战有关。神与撒但双方彼此敌对。撒但这名字是对头的意思。……一面,他是仇敌,想要打败神;另一面,他是对头,在神的范围里想要制造破坏〔伯一6~12启十二10〕。
7We need to persevere in prayer [Col. 4:2] because prayer involves a battle, a fight. Two parties, God and Satan, are hostile to each other. The meaning of the name Satan is “adversary.”…On the one hand, he is the enemy trying to defeat God; on the other hand, he is the adversary within God’s realm seeking to cause damage [Job 1:6-12; Rev. 12:10].
8虽然在宇宙中激烈进行的争战是在神与撒但之间,但与另一方也有牵连。……神所拣选并救赎的人,他们是真正决定这场争战胜负的人。如果我们与撒但站在一起,即使神是全能的,祂也会失败。……实在说来,神需要我们。……祂需要我们来进行〔与撒但〕争战的实际工作。
8Although the battle raging in the universe is between God and Satan, another party is involved,…God’s chosen and redeemed people, the ones who will actually decide the outcome of the battle. If we take sides with Satan, God will lose, even though He is almighty…In a very real sense, God needs us…He needs us to carry on the actual work of warfare [against Satan].
9为了要在神这一边与撒但争战,我们就必须坚定持续地祷告。……整个世界的趋向都是远离神的。祷告乃是在堕落的宇宙中抵挡潮流。
9In order to fight on God’s side against Satan, we need to persevere in prayer…The whole world is away from God. To pray is to go against the current, the trend, in the fallen universe.
10在我们天天祷告的事上,许多经历都能证实,撒但尽其可能地反对我们祷告。譬如,你正好祷告到非常要紧的点上时,电话响了(歌罗西书生命读经,七一八至七一九页)。
10Many of the experiences we have with respect to prayer day by day prove that Satan opposes our prayer in every way possible. For example, a telephone call may come just when you are at a very important point in your prayer. (Life-study of Colossians, pp. 568-569)

11我们所从事的,乃是一场属灵的争战。……在战场上最需要的,就是儆醒、警觉,知道仇敌要作什么或正在作什么。
11We are engaged in a spiritual warfare. The foremost need on the battlefield is to be watchful and alert in order to know what the enemy is doing and what he intends to do.
12我们要求主为我们抵挡……相反的祷告。这相反的祷告,也许特别注重我们最近所作的工,注重召会和我在这里的带领;因此我们在主面前所发出的祷告,必须反对这些相反的祷告。
12We must ask the Lord to resist prayers that are directed particularly against the work we are carrying out, against the church, and against my leading. The prayers we utter before the Lord must stand against these counter-prayers.
13我们要切切记得,在神的工作上,不会有不劳而获的幸运,也不是劳苦努力就一定成功。我们必须领悟,这是一场属灵的争战;作每一件事,走每一步路,都得争战,都要儆醒。
13We need to remember that in God’s work, there is no such thing as sheer luck, no such thing as gaining without effort. Moreover, there is no guarantee that if we labor and endeavor, we will succeed. We must realize that we are engaged in spiritual warfare. We must fight and be watchful in everything we do and in every step we take.
14每次我们来在一起祷告时,盼望每一位都开口;……乃是一个一个开口。并且我们的祷告不要太强、太长,要短而活,能彼此堆加,使众人的祷告能连起来,成为一个强而有力的祷告。我们一起祷告,要像赛球一样,会传球也会接球,传得好也接得好。
14Whenever we pray together, I hope that everyone will pray…one after another. Our prayers should not be too loud or lengthy. They should be short and living, adding to the one before, so that all the prayers can be joined together as one strong, powerful prayer. We should pray as if we are playing basketball, knowing how to pass and how to catch the ball.
15魔鬼撒但引诱人、败坏人,他一切的诡计、一切的作为,都是以一件事为目标,就是争战以阻挠、抵挡、破坏、拆毁神的建造。……历来一班清心爱主,并在灵里进入神永远计划的人,他们都看见且经历一个属灵的争战。……神每一点的恢复,都涉及神的仇敌,都需要争战。……今天你我都必须看见,为着神国度的建造,我们必须从事属灵的争战(李常受文集一九八六年第二册,二八七至二九○、二九六至二九七页)。
15Satan, the devil, with all his wiles and tactics, his temptations and corruptions, has only one goal in mind—to fight against God’s building in order to frustrate, withstand, damage, and destroy it…Throughout the centuries, those who love the Lord with a pure heart and who know something about God’s eternal purpose in their spirit experience a kind of spiritual warfare… Every step of God’s recovery involves His enemy, and every step requires warfare…Today we need to see that there is the need to engage ourselves in spiritual warfare for the building up of God’s kingdom. (CWWL, 1986, vol. 2, “Crucial Words of Leading in the Lord’s Recovery, Book 1: The Vision and Definite Steps for the Practice of the New Way,” pp. 227-229, 234-235)
16今天在主的恢复里有正确召会生活的先决条件,乃是有祷告的生活〔提前二1〕。正确的召会是祷告的召会。……不祷告乃是罪。所有在主恢复里的人都必须多多祷告,并抵挡不祷告的罪。众召会中的长老必须接受保罗的嘱咐,“第一”要祷告(提摩太前书生命读经,三一至三二页)。
16A prerequisite for having a proper church life in the Lord’s recovery today is to have a prayer life [1 Tim. 2:1]. A proper church is a praying church… Prayerlessness is a sin. All in the Lord’s recovery must be prayerful and stand against the sin of prayerlessness. The elders in the churches must take up Paul’s charge to “first of all” pray. (Life-study of 1 Timothy, p. 25)

今日要点
18主题:借着争战的祷告,反对并抵挡撒但「相反的祷告」
18
19引经:弗六17~18西四2
19
201.借着祷告,反对并抵挡撒但「相反的祷告」:
20
21a.我们不仅需要看见,维持同心合意,在于主恢复能力的三个实质,其中为首的就是祷告,使徒行传也给我们看见,我们与神同工建造召会乃是属灵的争战,并且祷告乃是完成神工作的秘诀,我们在主面前发出的祷告,必须反对并抵挡「相反的祷告」,这些相反的祷告特别针对召会和我们为着建造召会所作的工作。
21
22B.祷告与争战有关,神与撒但双方彼此敌对,我们也看见扫罗得救之前,也自认为在事奉神,但事实上他的事奉却是相反的事奉,想必他的祷告也成了相反的祷告,我们必须为着站在神这一边,与撒但争战祷告,求主为我们抵挡相反的祷告,好抵挡、好反对这些相反的祷告,求主遮盖我们,不让仇敌有任何地位作破坏的工。
22
232.召会要有坚定持续的祷告:
23
24A.弗六17~18说,『还要借着各样的祷告和祈求,接受救恩的头盔,并那灵的剑,那灵就是神的话;时时在灵里祷告,并尽力坚持,在这事上儆醒,且为众圣徒祈求』,我们必须坚定持续的祷告,好为着维持同心合意并实行一,在此儆醒感恩,借着不住的祷告,保持自己亲密的联于主,不祷告乃是罪,所有在主恢复里的人都必须多多祷告,并抵挡不祷告的罪。
24
25B.魔鬼撒但引诱人、败坏人,他一切的诡计、一切的作为,都是以一件事为目标,就是作扯后腿的事,争战以阻挠、抵挡、破坏、拆毁神的建造,历年来每一班清心爱主,并在灵里进入神永远计划的人,祂们都看见并从事属灵的争战,主的恢复,神工作的目标,都涉及神的仇敌,因此争战是必须的,我们需要借着祷告从事属灵的争战。
25
26应用:我们要参加召会的祷告聚会,每次我们来在一起祷告时,盼望每一位都开口,不要太强、太长,要短而活,能彼此堆加,使众人的祷告能连起来,成为一个强而有力的祷告,要向比赛篮球一样,有人发球,有人接球,有人传球,有人上篮得分。
