7按以赛亚八章七至八节看,仇敌企图占取以马内利的地。不要以为这话只是为着以色列人。今天我们的灵就是以马内利的地。因此,我们自己就是以马内利的地。仇敌撒但和他一切的军兵,要尽其全力占取这以马内利的地,就是占取我们的灵和我们这人。……以赛亚八章十节告诉我们,因为神与我们同在,仇敌绝不能占取以马内利的地。虽然撒但尽其所能要占取你,但你仍在这里。也许上周撒但二十一次企图要占取你,但每次他都失败了。因着以马内利,因着神与我们同在,你仍在这里。这以马内利就是耶稣。今天我们可以这样实际地享受耶稣,并经历祂作我们的以马内利(马太福音生命读经,九○至九三页)。
7According to Isaiah 8:7-8, the enemy may try to take over the land of Emmanuel. Do not think this word is only for the children of Israel. Today our spirit is the land of Emmanuel. Thus, we ourselves are the land of Emmanuel. The enemy, Satan, with all his army will do everything he can to take over this land of Emmanuel, that is, to take over our spirit and our being. Isaiah 8:10 tells us that because God is with us, the enemy can never take over the land of Emmanuel. Although Satan has tried his best to take you over, you are still here. Perhaps during the past week Satan tried twenty-one times to take you over, but he failed every time. You are still here because of Emmanuel, because of God with us. This Emmanuel is Jesus. Today we may enjoy Jesus and experience Him in such a real way as our Emmanuel. (Life-study of Matthew, pp. 69-71)
