纲目
1壹 我们需要有关于权柄的定义—太七29
1Ⅰ We need to have the definition of authority—Matt. 7:29:
2一 权柄最好的定义是“下命令、作决定并要求顺从的权力或权利,通常源自职位权力或专长”。
2A The best definition of authority is "the power or right to give orders, make decisions, and enforce obedience, often stemming from a position of power or expertise."
3二 在圣经里,权柄是“行使权力的道德正当性,终极来自并起源于神”。
3B In the Bible, authority is "the moral right to exercise power, which is ultimately derived from and originates with God."
4贰 神是最高的权柄;祂有一切的权柄—罗九21~22

5一 神的权柄代表神自己;神的能力仅代表神的作为—太二一24路五24
5A God's authority represents God Himself; God's power represents only God's works—Matt. 21:24; Luke 5:24.
6二 神的权柄实际上就是神自己;权柄是出于神自己的所是—启二二1
6B God's authority is actually God Himself; authority issues out from God's own being—Rev. 22:1.

13启二二1 天使又指给我看在城内街道当中一道生命水的河,明亮如水晶,从神和羔羊的宝座流出来。
13Rev. 22:1 And he showed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb in the middle of its street.
14罗九21 窑匠难道没有权柄,从同一团泥里,拿一块作成贵重的器皿,又拿一块作成卑贱的器皿么?
14Rom. 9:21 Or does not the potter have authority over the clay to make out of the same lump one vessel unto honor and another unto dishonor?
15无论什么权柄都是出于神的,因为都是神定规的。……神在一切权柄之上,所有的权柄都在神之下。你摸到神的权柄,就是摸到神自己。神的工作基本的不是用能力,乃是用权柄;祂是用权柄的话托住万有,祂是用权柄的命令创造一切。命令就是权柄。
15All authority is from God because everything is ordered by God…God is above all authorities, and every authority is under Him. Once we touch God’s authority, we touch God Himself. Basically, God’s work is not carried out by power, but by authority. He upholds everything by the word, which is of His authority. Creation came about through the word of His authority. His word is His authority.
16〔马太八章〕那个百夫长的仆人病了,他知道他顺服在上掌权的,也有在下的顺服他。因此他只要主说一句话,相信事就那样成了,因为一切的权柄都在主的手里,他信主的权柄。所以主说,没有信心比这个再大(5~10)。碰见神权柄的,就是遇见了神。……宇宙中一切的轨道是祂所建立的,世界中一切的办法也是祂所建立的,所以就都在祂的权柄底下。无论在哪里,得罪神的权柄,就是得罪神自己。基督徒应该顺服权柄(倪柝声文集第三辑第一册,一三○至一三一页)。
16The centurion whose servant was sick knew that there was an authority above him to which he should submit, inasmuch as there were those under him who submitted to him. Therefore, he only needed the Lord to say one word, and he believed that the matter would then be taken care of. He knew that all authority was in the Lord’s hand; he believed in the Lord’s authority. This is why the Lord said that He had found no faith greater than this. Meeting God’s authority is the same as meeting God…All the orbits in the universe are established by Him; all the ways in the world are set up by Him. Hence, they are all under His authority. Offending God’s authority is the same as offending God Himself. A Christian should submit to authority. (CWWN, vol. 47, “Authority and Submission,” pp. 119-120)

17我们是作主工的,是作神的仆人,第一碰着的就是权柄。……我们必须有一次碰着权柄,被权柄打倒了,这时才能作神的工。在与神整个的关系中,就是我们是否碰着权柄?若碰着了,到处都会遇到权柄,我们这个人才会受神约束,才起首能被神所使用。
17We who are involved in the Lord’s work are the servants of God. As such, the first thing we touch is the matter of authority…We must be touched and smitten at least once by authority. Only then can we work the work of God. In our relationship with God, nothing is more important than touching authority. Once we touch it, we will see it wherever we turn. Only then can we be restricted by God, and only then can we begin to be used by God.
18宇宙有两个原则:一是神权柄的原则,一是撒但背叛的原则。我们不能一面事奉神,一面又走背叛的路,带着背叛的灵。……事奉的对面就是权柄。到底我们要服或不服神的权柄?我们这班事奉神的人,必须要有一次基本的认识。比方人一次碰着了电,以后就晓得不能随便了。同样,人若一次碰着神的权柄,给神打倒,以后眼睛就越过越会明亮,不独会审判自己,也会审判别人。
18There are two principles in the universe—God’s authority and Satan’s rebellion. We cannot serve God on the one hand, while taking the way of rebellion with a spirit of rebellion on the other hand…Service is ever attendant to authority. Do we want to submit to God’s authority or not? We who serve God must gain this basic understanding at some time. It is like touching electricity. Once one touches it, he will never be careless with it. In the same way, once a man meets God’s authority and is smitten by it, his eyes will be enlightened. He will be able to discern not only himself, but others as well.
19关于〔那些背叛的人〕所说,摩西没有把他们领到流奶与蜜之地,没有把田地和葡萄园分给他们为产业,〔民十六14,〕这些话也是有道理的。……但是请注意,人凭道理、凭肉眼所见,就走道理的路,但服权柄的人是凭信心走到迦南地。属灵的路绝非讲理由、讲道理的人所能走得上的。凡凭信心,接受云柱、火柱以及代表的权柄—摩西—率领的人,必定能享受属灵的丰满。地开口就是为那些不服权柄的人开了速速下到阴间的路,死亡的路。……只有像是瞎眼的人,专凭信心摸索前进,不看当前的荒凉,因为属灵的道理是凭信心的眼睛看到将来美好的应许,这等人才能进迦南。所以人总得碰着权柄,受神的约束,也受代表权柄的引领。人若只碰着父亲、哥哥、姐姐,他尚不认识何谓权柄,所以也就碰不到神。总之,权柄问题是里面的开启,不是外面的教导(倪柝声文集第三辑第一册,一二四、一二六、一四六至一四七页)。
19When the rebellious ones spoke against Moses for not leading them into the land flowing with milk and honey, and for not giving them the inheritance of fields and vineyards, their words were somewhat true…Please note that whenever men act and judge according to doctrine or according to what they see with their physical eyes, they are taking the way of reason. But those who submit to authority will enter Canaan by faith. The way of the spirit can never be taken by those who argue and reason. Those who by faith take the leading of the pillars of cloud and of fire and take the leading of Moses, the deputy authority, will enjoy the fullness of the Spirit. The earth opens its mouth for the rebellious ones. This is the way of death leading them quickly to Hades… Only those who are apparently blind, who probe forward by faith, ignoring the present desolation, can enter into Canaan. Those on the spiritual pathway see the future promise of blessing by the eyes of faith. Therefore, one must meet authority, be restricted by God, and be led by His deputy authority. If a man sees only his father, brothers, or sisters, he does not know what authority is, and has not yet met God. In any case, the matter of authority is an inward revelation rather than an outward teaching. (CWWN, vol. 47, “Authority and Submission,” pp. 114-115, 133-134)

今日要点
21主题:认识神是最高的权柄
21
22引经:启二二1罗九21
22
231.认识权柄的定义:
23
24a.在第四周,说到浸入父、子、圣灵的名之前,主先在太二八18说,『天上地上所有的权柄,都赐给我了』,我们要经历的这一位包罗万有的基督,乃是作为那有天上地上所有权柄的一位;首先,我们需要先认识权柄,权柄最好的定义是『夏命令、作决定、并要求顺从的权力或权利,通常源自职位权力或专长』,而在圣经中,权柄乃是『行使权力的道德正当性,终极来自并起源于神』
24
25B.在罗九21说,『窑匠难道没有权柄,从同一团泥里,拿一块作成贵重的器皿,又拿一块作成卑贱的器皿么? 』,保罗把神比较窑匠,来说出一个启示,就是对人来说,神有绝对、最高的权柄,启二二1也说,『天使又指给我看在城内街道当中一道生命水的河,明亮如水晶,从神和羔羊的宝座流出来』,生命水河,乃是从宝座流出,没有对权柄正确的认识和经历,就不会有生命水河,也不会有新耶路撒冷这使徒生活与工作的最高点。
25
262.认识神是最高的权柄:
26
27a.可以说,神是最高的权柄,祂有一切的权柄,神的权柄代表神自己,神的能力仅能代表神自己的所是,神的权柄实际上就是神自己,权柄是出于神自己的所是,今天在地上,无论什么权柄,是属灵的、地位的、行政的,都是出于神,而我们摸到神的权柄,事实上就是摸到神自己。
27
28b.因此,在我们与神的关系中,没有什么比摸着权柄更重要,但我们要看见,认识权柄不是外面的教导,叫你外面有一种的顺服或服从,而是里面被开启,我们若要作主的工,首要的事就是权柄,我们必须有一次碰着权柄,被权柄打倒,我们这个人才会受约束,才能为神所用。
28
29应用:神的权柄有如高压电,一电到就死了,因此我们不能随便,需要有里面的开启,为此,我们该向主祷告,求主开启我们的眼,使我们不是从外面的教导学得何为权柄,而是从里面摸着神的权柄,碰见神的权柄,好遇见神,而使我们的事奉,能为神所用。
