纲目
1肆 我们要对付神的仇敌,就需要那叫基督从死人中复活,并叫祂坐在诸天界里,远超空中一切邪灵的浩大能力,使我们得着加力——10节,一19~22:
1
2一 我们要在主里得着加力,这指明在对付撒但和他邪恶国度的属灵争战中,我们不能在自己里面争战;我们只能在主里面,在祂力量的权能里争战。
2
3二 “要…得着加力,”这吩咐含示需要运用我们的意志;我们若要得着加力来应付属灵的争战,我们的意志就必须刚强且有操练——歌四4七4
3
4伍 召会和撒但之间的争战,乃是我们这些爱主并在祂召会中的人,与诸天界里邪恶势力之间的争战——弗六12
4
5一 那些执政的、掌权的、和管辖这黑暗世界的,乃是背叛的天使;他们跟从撒但一同背叛、抵挡神,现今在诸天界里管辖世上的列国——西一13但十20
5
6二 我们需要领悟,我们的争战不是抵挡人,乃是抵挡邪灵,就是诸天界里的属灵势力。

7弗六10 末了的话,你们要在主里,靠着祂力量的权能,得着加力。
7Eph. 6:10 Finally, be empowered in the Lord and in the might of His strength.
812 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。
812 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.
9〔以弗所六章十节〕里“得着加力”这辞,原文与一章十九节的“能力”同字根。要对付神的仇敌,抵挡黑暗的邪恶势力,我们需要那叫基督从死人中复活,并叫祂坐在诸天界里,远超空中一切邪灵的浩大能力,使我们得着加力。我们要在主里得着加力,这指明在对付撒但和他邪恶国度的属灵争战中,我们只能在主里面争战,不能在自己里面争战。何时我们在自己里面,我们就失败了。
9The Greek word in Ephesians 6:10 rendered “empowered” has the same root as the word powers in 1:19. To deal with God’s enemy, to fight against the evil forces of darkness, we need to be empowered with the greatness of the power that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him in the heavenlies, far above all the evil spirits in the air. The fact that we are to be empowered in the Lord indicates that in the spiritual warfare against Satan and his evil kingdom, we can fight only in the Lord, not in ourselves. Whenever we are in ourselves, we are defeated.
10“要……得着加力”,这吩咐含示需要很强地运用我们的意志。我们若要得着加力来应付属灵的争战,我们的意志就必须刚强且有操练。我们不该像水母一样,意志软弱,游移不定。事实上,那些有刚强意志的人最容易悔改。请看大数的扫罗就是一个例子。当他在往大马色的途中,一心想要捉拿凡呼求主耶稣之名的人时,他被主抓住了。因着扫罗有这样强的意志,他就能有厉害的悔改(以弗所书生命读经,六三八页)。
10The charge to be empowered implies the need to exercise our will. If we would be empowered for spiritual warfare, our will must be strong and exercised. We should not be like jellyfish, those who are weak-willed and vacillating. Actually, it is those with a strong will who are most able to repent. Consider Saul of Tarsus as an example. As he was traveling to Damascus with the intention of arresting all those who called on the name of the Lord Jesus, he was apprehended by the Lord. Because Saul had such a strong will, he could have a strong repentance. (Life-study of Ephesians, p. 518)

11神除了保守我们的良心之外,在祂主宰的权柄下,祂也保守了我们的意志。……我们也许错误地以为,传福音给一个意志强的人很难。照我的经历,那些因着我传福音得救的人,多半都有刚强的意志和确定的意愿。这样的意志能在悔改时发生积极的功用。悔改需要运用意志。照样,得着加力也与我们的意志有关。
11In addition to preserving our conscience, God has sovereignly preserved our will…We may mistakenly think that it is difficult to preach the gospel to one with a strong will. According to my experience, most of those who were saved through my gospel preaching were those with a strong will and a definite intention. Such a will is able to function positively in repentance. Repentance requires the exercise of the will. In like manner, to be empowered also involves our will.
12我们需要在主里得着加力,这指明我们不能在自己里面打属灵的仗;我们只能在主里并在祂力量的权能里争战。在以弗所六章十节里,保罗提到大能、权能和力量。首先,我们借着那叫基督从死人中复活,使祂作万有之首的大能,得着加力。然后,我们就知道神的权能和力量。
12The fact that we need to be empowered in the Lord indicates that we cannot fight the spiritual warfare in ourselves; we can fight only in the Lord and in the might of His strength. In Ephesians 6:10 Paul refers to power, might, and strength. First, we are empowered by the power that raised Christ from the dead and gave Him to be Head over all things. Then we know God’s might and strength.
13血肉之人〔12〕是指人说的。在血肉之人背后,乃是魔鬼那抵挡神定旨的邪恶势力。因此,我们的摔跤,我们的争战,必须不是抵挡人,乃是抵挡诸天界里那邪恶的属灵势力。……我们在主的恢复里应当认识,属灵的争战不是与人争战的事。即使人对这恢复造成损害,我们也不该与他们争战。在他们背后,在他们之上,乃是邪恶的势力。……那些执政的、掌权的和管辖这黑暗世界的,乃是背叛的天使。他们跟从撒但一同背叛、抵挡神,现今在诸天界里管辖世上的列国,如但以理十章二十节的波斯魔君和雅完魔君。
13Blood and flesh [v. 12] refers to men. Behind men of blood and flesh are the evil forces of the devil, fighting against God’s purpose. Hence, our wrestling, our fighting, must not be against men but against the evil spiritual forces in the heavenlies. We in the Lord’s recovery should realize that spiritual warfare is not a matter of fighting against men. Even if men cause damage to the recovery, we should not fight against them. Behind them and over them is the evil power. The rulers, the authorities, and the world-rulers of this darkness are the rebellious angels, who followed Satan in his rebellion against God and who now rule in the heavenlies over the nations of the world, such as the prince of Persia and the prince of Greece in Daniel 10:20.
14保罗在以弗所六章十二节也提到“诸天界里那邪恶的属灵势力”。这里的诸天界,指空中(二2)。撒但和他邪恶的属灵势力是在空中;但我们是坐在第三层天上,超过他们(6)。打仗的时候,凌驾仇敌之上的地位,在战略上是非常重要的。撒但和他邪恶的势力是在我们之下,他们注定是要被击败的。……因此,召会和撒但之间的争战,乃是我们这些爱主并在祂召会中的人,与诸天界里邪恶势力之间的争战。表面看是血肉之人破坏召会,实际上是撒但和他邪恶的天使在那些造成破坏的人背后作工。所以,我们必须争战,抵挡这些属灵的势力(以弗所书生命读经,六三八至六三九、六四一至六四三页)。
14In Ephesians 6:12 Paul also speaks of “the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenlies.” The heavenlies here refers to the air (2:2). Satan and his spiritual forces of evil are in the air. But we are seated in the third heaven above them (v. 6). In fighting a battle, the position above the enemy is very important strategically. Satan and his evil forces are under us, and they are destined to be defeated by us. Thus, the warfare between the church and Satan is a battle between us who love the Lord and who are in His church and the evil powers in the heavenlies. Apparently, it is people of flesh and blood who damage the church. Actually, it is Satan and his evil angels working behind them who cause the damage. Therefore, we must fight against these spiritual forces. (Life-study of Ephesians, pp. 518-521)

今日要点
16主题:面对属灵的争战,我们要得着加力
16
17引经:弗六1012
17
181.为着争战,我们要得着加力:
18
19A.以弗所五章启示召会作为新妇,为要彰显基督之后,六章就进一步启示,召会要作为战士,与仇敌争战,弗六10说,『末了的话,你们要在主里,靠着祂力量的权能,得着加力』,在这节「要...得着加力」是一个希腊字,这个字是被动式,说出我们无法自己加力,我们是「被加力」,祂是我们的加力者,为此我们需要在主里好得着加力。
19
20B.此外,保罗使用了命令语气在这个字上,显于中文的「要」上,指明虽然是主要加我们力量,但仍取决于我们意志的合作,「要...得加力」这吩咐含示需要很强的运用我们的意志,我们若要得着加力来应付属灵的争战,我们的意志就必须刚强且有操练,这样,我们在对付撒但和他邪恶国度的属灵争战中,就能够在主里面争战。
20
212.有分属灵的争战,抵挡诸天界里的属灵势力:
21
22A.弗六12接着说,『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』,这里「血肉之人」,是指人说的,在血肉之人的背后,有一个真正的势力,就是魔鬼那抵挡神定旨的邪恶势力,因此,我们的摔跤,争战,不是抵挡人,而是抵挡诸天界里那邪恶的属灵势力。
22
23B.那些执政的、掌权的、和管辖这黑暗世界的就是背叛的天使,他们跟从撒但一同背叛、抵挡神,现今在诸天界里管辖世上的列国,另外,保罗也说到诸天界里邪恶的属灵势力,诸天界是指空中,撒但和他邪恶的属灵势力是在空中,但我们是坐在第三层天上,远超过他们,召会作为战士,是在这个地位争战,抵挡这些属灵的势力。
23
24应用:我们不该像是水母一样,意志软弱,游移不定,我们该像保罗一样,有一个厉害的悔改,并且不信靠自己的能力,反而向主敞开,让主来加力,而使我们能够站住,抵挡仇敌在生活中一切的攻击。
