诗一一九103 你的言语在我上膛何等甘美！在我口中比蜜更甜！

　　弗三18　 使你们满有力量，能和众圣徒一同领略何为那阔、长、高、深。

　　Psa. 119:103 How sweet are Your words to my taste! Sweeter than honey to my mouth!

　　Eph. 3:18 May be full of strength to apprehend with all the saints what the breadth and length and height and depth are.

　　读经还有一个简便、属灵、叫我们得益最多的方法，就是祷读，把所读的经文当作祷告来祷读，不仅是一面读，一面祷，也不仅是读读祷祷，祷祷读读，乃是直接把所读的经文，当作祷告的话以祷告。有时也可将经文，用祷告应用到我们的自身。这种祷读，重复的次数越多，释放的灵越高昂，所获得的益处，必越多、越深、越丰富（生命课程卷一，三七页）。

　　Another simple, spiritual, and most beneficial way to read the Bible is pray-reading. We take the Bible text as prayer and pray-read with it. Not only do we read and pray simultaneously, or pray and read, read and pray; but also we directly turn the text we are reading into the very words of prayer to pray with. At times we may apply the text to ourselves through prayer. The more we repeat this kind of pray-reading, the more uplifted and released our spirit becomes and the greater, deeper, and richer the benefit is which we receive. (Life Lesson Vol. 1)

　　〔我们读主话时，〕头一步是用眼睛看着白纸黑字，且用头脑来领会，然后第二步就是祷读，把你眼睛所看见的，头脑所领受的化成祷告。我们一祷告就用灵了。可能你开头祷告时，仅仅是用心思，不过祷告了三、五句以后，你的灵就兴起了。这是确定的理。…神的话就是灵，就是生命；头脑碰不着灵，只有我们的灵才能碰着灵。若没有碰着灵，就没有生命；惟有碰着灵，才有生命。结果，这生命就是基督，也就是神自己（完全明白神的话，一八至一九页）。

　　 (When we read the Word of God,)To comprehend the Word literally we first need to read the black and white letters with our eyes as well as with our mind. Second, we need to pray-read, converting all that we see and all that we comprehend into prayer. When we pray, we use our spirit. At first, we may use our mind to pray, but after three to five sentences our spirit will rise up. This is a definite fact…The Word of God is spirit and life. Our mind cannot touch the Spirit; only our spirit can touch the Spirit. If we do not touch the Spirit, we do not have life. Only by touching the Spirit can we have life. Ultimately, this life is Christ, and it is also God Himself. (Full Knowledge of the Word of God)

　　为着更多有享受，有喂养，并且为着更适当充分的祷读神的话，我们需要身体—召会。…我们若试试看，与别的基督徒一同祷读，我们会到第三层天上去！因为食物是为着全身体，不是仅仅为着单个的肢体。…所以，祷读最好的路是和身体别的肢体在一起。

　　For more enjoyment and nourishment and to pray-read the Word properly and adequately, we need the Body, the church…if we try it with a group of other Christians, we will be in the third heavens! The explanation of this is that food is for the whole Body, not merely for one member alone. ……Therefore, the best way to pray-read is with other members of the Body.

　　当我们与别的弟兄姊妹来在一起祷读，要记住四个字：快，短，真，新。第一，我们祷告要快，不要犹预。我们一快祷，就没有时间用头脑思考。其次，我们祷告要短，因为长祷告需要作文章。我们必须忘掉组织一篇长祷告，只要说出一个短句，甚至一个片语。我们也需要真实，不装假。要很真实的说出来。最后，我们祷告要新鲜，不老旧。要新鲜，最好的办法是，不要用我们自己的话祷告，而要用圣经的话。整本圣经的每一部分，每一行都能用来祷告，这就是最新鲜的祷告！

　　如果你在个人方面和团体方面都试一试，你就能见证，基督的丰富借着祷读神的话，的确分赐给了你。你会在属灵的生命中得到祝福和长大，你也会有大的改变。借着这样接触神的话，来享受基督，接受祂的喂养，你就要逐渐长大以致成熟，充满生命，并被这位永活者所浸透！（如何享受灵粮，一二至一三页。）

　　When we come together to pray-read with other brothers and sisters, there are four words we must remember: quick, short, real, and fresh. First we need to pray quickly, without hesitating. When we are quick to pray, we have no time to use our mind and to consider. Then our prayers must be short, because long prayers need some composition. We must forget about composing a long prayer and just utter a phrase or a sentence. Do it in a quick and short way. And we also need to be real, not pretending. Say something in a real way. Finally, our prayers must be fresh, not old. The best way to be fresh is not to pray with our own words, but with the words of the Bible. Every part and every line of this book can be used as a prayer, and it will be the freshest prayer!

　　If you will try this both privately and corporately, you will be able to testify of the riches of Christ that have been imparted to you by pray-reading the Word of God. You will see blessing and growth in your spiritual life. There will be a great change. By contacting the Word in this way to enjoy Christ and be nourished by Him, you will be a person growing to maturity, full of life and saturated with this living One. (Pray-Reading the Word)
