16在一次聚会里,我听见有人祷告说,“主啊,拯救我们脱离混乱。”……有人可能说这〔祷告〕是对的,因为主耶稣告诉我们,要求父不叫我们陷入试诱,乃要救我们脱离那恶者(太六13)。但是这种拯救到底是什么,我们可能有错误的观念。神不是要我们从撒但的混乱里被拯救出来。神所要的,具体可见于“胜过”和“征服”二辞。……神乃是要我们征服撒但的混乱。神给我们的真实的拯救,乃是我们的征服。在以弗所六章保罗告诉我们,我们需要在主里得着加力,好站立得住,以抵挡魔鬼的诡计(10~11)。接着他说,“所以要拿起神全副的军装,使你们在邪恶的日子能以抵挡,并且作成了一切,还能站立得住。”(13)我们不是被拯救脱离混乱,乃是要站住抵挡混乱(李文集一九九一至一九九二年第三册,二四三至二四四、三一七至三一八、三三八至三三九页)。 16In one meeting I heard someone pray, “Lord, deliver us from the chaos.”…Some may say that this [prayer] is right because the Lord Jesus told us to ask the Father not to bring us into temptation but to deliver us from the evil one (Matt. 6:13). We may, however, have a wrong concept about what this kind of deliverance is. God does not want us to be delivered out of the satanic chaos. What God wants is embodied in the words overcome and conquer…God wants us to conquer the satanic chaos. The real deliverance to us from God is our conquering. In Ephesians 6 Paul tells us that we need to be empowered in the Lord to stand against the stratagems of the devil (vv. 10-11). Then he says, “Take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand” (v. 13). We are not to be delivered out of the chaos, but we are to stand against it.
