纲目
1叁 我们必须受主怜悯,蒙拯救脱离撒但打岔召会扩展和建造的诡计,并保守自己在时代的流中,为着建造祂的身体 ——参来四16哀三22~25
1
2一 我们必须蒙拯救,脱离外面死的规条、人的意见、己同其老旧的观念;什么人受主怜悯,什么人就在这些事上蒙拯救;我们蒙拯救有多少,召会建造也有多少 ——罗五10腓一19~21上二12~16徒十五1~12加二21五1二4
2
3二 我们必须从彼得的事例学习功课,蒙拯救脱离我们宗教传统和老旧背景的帕子,使我们能看见神永远经纶的异象并活在这异象之下,以持守福音的真理 ——徒十9~16加二11~14
3
4三 我们必须从巴拿巴身上学习功课,蒙拯救脱离人的意见和天然的关系 ——同工中因着人事关系而起的争执是可怕的;当切记! ——徒十三13十五35~40西四10
4
5四 我们必须从亚波罗身上学习功课,蒙拯救脱离缺少神新约经纶完整启示的职事,免得不与时代的职事完全是一 ——徒十八24十九2林前一12十六10~12
5
6五 我们必须从行传十六章六至十二节保罗的事上学习功课;这些经文指明,作工的人到一个地方一“作”下来,就有“坐”下来,甚至“座”下来,而不肯动的难处;老旧的关系、老旧的感情、老旧的味道和老旧的观念,使我们不能跟随内住之灵内里的引导:
6

7
82 圣灵说,“不”,为要圣别我们;耶稣的灵说,“去”,为要在耶稣的人性里差遣我们出去,在十字架下完成神的旨意。
8
9六 我们必须从保罗身上学习功课,实行身体的生活,把那灵借着基督身体一些肢体所说的话,当作从元首来的,接受并顺从 ——二十23,二一4、7~8、11~14。

10徒十六6~7 圣灵既然禁止他们在亚西亚讲道,他们就经过弗吕家和加拉太地区。到了每西亚的边界,他们试着要往庇推尼去,耶稣的灵却不许。
10Acts 16:6-7 And they passed through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia. And when they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, yet the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.
11圣灵禁止保罗和他的同工,耶稣的灵不许他们。圣灵是圣别的灵,圣别总是禁止的问题。……我们若听见圣灵从早晨到晚上对我们说,“不”,我们就有福了,因为我们正在被圣别。我们需要听圣灵一再地说,“不”,使我们得以圣别。
11The Holy Spirit forbade Paul and his co-workers, and the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them. The Holy Spirit is the sanctifying Spirit. Sanctifying is always a matter of forbidding…If we hear the Holy Spirit say no to us from morning to evening, we are blessed because we are being sanctified. We need to hear the Holy Spirit’s no again and again for our sanctification.
12耶稣的灵或者许可我们,或者不许我们。许可就是让你去。……我们必须去行神的旨意,正如为人的耶稣所行的一样。耶稣是一个一直在十字架下的人。为了要为主作工,我们一面必须被圣别,一面必须在十字架之下。……圣灵说,“不”,为要圣别我们。耶稣的灵说,“去”,为要差遣我们出去,在十字架下完成神的旨意(李常受文集一九九○年第一册,七六九至七七○页)。
12The Spirit of Jesus either allows us or does not allow us. To allow is to let you go…We have to go to do the will of God just as the man Jesus did. Jesus was a man who was always under the cross. In order to work for the Lord, we must be sanctified, on the one hand, and we must be under the cross, on the other hand…The Holy Spirit says no to sanctify us, and the Spirit of Jesus says go to send us out to accomplish the will of God under the cross. (CWWL, 1990, vol. 1, “The Spirit,” pp. 595-596)

13当召会往外扩展时,……撒但……产生了三个难处,……限制了召会的扩展。
13When the church was spreading, Satan created three problems…[that] limited the spread of the church.
14召会扩展首先遇到的难处,是犹太教的限制和捆绑(徒十五1~35)。当时犹太地信主的犹太人,仍保有犹太教的遗传;他们用犹太教的眼光和主义看待召会。……犹太人自以为他们的律法、规条和礼仪,都是出乎神的,是敬虔的,所以自认最能遵守神的话。撒但就利用这点,限制了召会;这个限制非常厉害。若不是保罗看见从天上来的异象,这个限制是难以打开。
14The first problem encountered in the spread of the church was the limitation and bondage of Judaism (Acts 15:1-34). The believers in Judea were Jews who still kept the traditions of Judaism; they looked at the church from a Jewish viewpoint…The Jews believed that their law, ordinances, and rituals were from God and pertained to piety; therefore, they considered themselves as those best able to keep God’s word. Satan used this thought to severely limit the church. Only Paul’s seeing of the heavenly vision enabled the lifting of this limitation.
15两千年来,无论何时,只要有任何规条捆绑召会,圣灵就会出来一个反应,冲破那个捆绑。所以我们要留心,我们固然不该离开圣经,我们的工作、事奉、设立召会、治理召会,都该照着圣经的原则而行;但什么时候,我们把圣经当作规条死守,就是在犹太教的原则里。召会乃是挂在圣灵身上。人能捆住召会,但捆不住圣灵。你若扣住圣灵,圣灵就要跳出你所划定的限制,为要得着发展。
15During the past two thousand years, whenever regulations have bound the church, the Holy Spirit has initiated a reaction to break through the ordinances. We must be careful not to deviate from the Bible; our work, service, establishing of churches, and governing of the church should all be done according to scriptural principles. Nevertheless, whenever we take the principles of the Bible as dead ordinances, we are in the principle of Judaism. The church depends on the Holy Spirit. Man can bind the church, but he cannot bind the Holy Spirit. If we limit the Holy Spirit, He will break out of the boundaries…to spread.
16等这个犹太教的难处解决之后,保罗和巴拿巴立即同往外邦去传福音。……外面宗教的难处过去了,里面主观的难处来了—巴拿巴和保罗竟然不能同心(徒十五36~41)。巴拿巴要带着马可同去看望弟兄,保罗觉得不妥,他们之间就起了争论。……他们两人的争论,其实就是撒但的作为。那时召会的扩展,就因着巴拿巴与保罗不能同心,受到相当的亏损。
16After the problem of the Jewish religion was resolved, Paul and Barnabas immediately went out to the Gentile lands to preach the gospel. The problem of outward religion had been solved, but now they encountered an inward, subjective problem—Barnabas and Paul could not be in one accord (vv. 3541). Barnabas wanted to take Mark to visit the brothers, but Paul felt it was not suitable, and an argument arose between them. Their argument was the work of Satan. The spread of the church was greatly damaged because [they] could not be in one accord.
17〔行传十六章六至十二节指明,〕保罗……自己里面也有难处。圣灵是要他往前扩展召会,他却不懂圣灵的意思。正在进退两难的时候,夜间来了一个异象,要他到欧洲的马其顿(9~10)。……老旧的关系、老旧的感情、老旧的味道,非要我们留在那里不可,使我们不能到别处去,叫我们不能动。……这不是简单的问题。……召会要得着扩展,就必须先冲破犹太教这极大的捆绑;也必须冲破人的意见,还必须冲破人的自己和老旧的观念。
17Acts 16:6-12 indicates that even Paul had problems within. The Holy Spirit wanted him to go out to spread the church, but he did not understand the leading of the Holy Spirit. As he vacillated between going forward or going back, a vision came to him in the night telling him to go to Macedonia in Europe (vv. 9-10)…Old relationships, old affections, and old inclinations keep us from going to another place; they make us unable to move…This is not an easy problem to solve…For the church to spread, the bondage of the Jewish religion, human opinions, and the self with its old concepts must be broken.
18两千年来,若是事奉主的人,一直让圣灵往前去,召会早已成熟。……求主怜悯我们,……我们蒙拯救有多少,召会扩展出去就有多少,召会建立也就有多少(李常受文集一九五六年第二册,三四六、三四九、三五二至三五三、三五五、三六九页)。
18Over the past two thousand years, if the servants of the Lord had always allowed the Holy Spirit to go forward, the church would have matured long ago…May the Lord have mercy on us…The degree to which we are saved is the degree to which the church can spread and be built up. (CWWL, 1956, vol. 2, “Three Aspects of the Church, Book 2: The Course of the Church,” pp. 265, 267, 269-271, 279-280)

今日要点
20主题:蒙拯救脱离撒但打岔召会扩展的诡计,而在水流中建造身体
20
21引经:徒十六6~7
21
221.蒙拯救脱离撒但打岔召会扩展的诡计,而在水流中建造身体:
22
23a.我们必须受主怜悯,蒙拯救脱离撒但打岔召会扩展和建造的诡计,并保守自己在时代的流中,为着建造祂的身体,当召会往外扩展十,撒但产生了三个难处,为着限制召会的扩展,第一,是犹太教的限制与捆绑,第二,是里面主观的难处,第三,老旧的关西、感情、味道,我们必须蒙拯救脱离外面死的规条、人的意见、己同老旧的观念,并从行传的记载中学功课。
23
24B.召会扩展首先遇到的难处,是犹太教的限制与捆绑,当时犹太地信主的犹太人,仍保有犹太教的遗传,用犹太教的眼光和主义看待召会,所以,我们首要的,是从彼得的事例学功课,蒙拯救脱离宗教传统和老旧背景的帕子,看见并活在神永远经纶的异象之下,持守福音的真理。
24
252.除去三个难处,扩展并建造召会:
25
26A.等犹太教的难处解决之后,保罗和巴拿巴立即同往外邦去传福音,外面宗教的难处过去了,里面主观的难处随之而来,巴拿巴和保罗竟然不能同心,因为巴拿巴要带着马可,但保罗觉得不妥,而起了争论,圣灵之后就不再记载巴拿巴了,因此,我们要从巴拿巴学功课,蒙拯救脱离人的意见和天然的关系。
26
27B.我们也当从亚波罗身上学功课,蒙拯救脱离缺少神新约经纶完整启示的职事,从保罗的事上学功课,行传十六章指明,作工的人到一个地方「作」下来,就有「坐」下来,甚至「座」下来,而不肯动的难处,老旧的关系、感情、味道和观念,使我们不能跟随内住之灵内里的引导,最后,我们要从保罗身上学功课,实行身体生活,把那灵借肢体所说的话当作从元首来的。
27
28应用:树一动就死,人一动就活,但我们天然的人却喜欢守旧和安逸,为此我们需要更新奉献,使主冲破我们人的自己和老旧的观念,使我们能为着召会的扩展,胜过撒但的诡计,为着乡镇移民开展,或是为着新兴都会区移民,好带进使徒行传的继续。
