祷读经节
约十五5 …住在我里面的,我也住在他里面,这人就多结果子;因为离了我,你们就不能作什么。 提后四2 务要传道;无论得时不得时,都要预备好,用全般的恒忍和教训,叫人知罪自责,谴责人,劝勉人。 |
John 15:5 ….He who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. 1 Tim. 4:2 By means of the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, of men who are branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron, |
祷告、认罪、对付罪、被圣灵充满
祷告、认罪、对付罪、被圣灵充满,结果就有胆量、有信心。你若没有祷告就出去叩访,定规小腿会发抖,说话没有力量。但是经过祷告、认罪、被圣灵充满,再去叩访时不仅有胆量,也有信心相信你叩访的对象必定得救。…一旦被圣灵充满,你不但话语有能力,也能定规他得不得救:你说他得救,他就得救;你说他不得救,恐怕要再等一等,他就不得救。这就是祷告、认罪、被圣灵充满的功效。 |
When you go door-knocking, you have to pay attention to your attitude. You should never be reckless or hasty. Rather, you should be modest, courteous, gentle, respectful, dignified, and weighty. Moreover, when you speak, you should learn to be concise instead of being wordy and to be affectionate instead of being cold. If they answer, “I do not have time,” you should not give up. Instead, you should say, “It will take you just one minute.” Eventually, the person may be saved and baptized because of this one-minute gospel preaching. The booklet The Mystery of Human Life has also been greatly used by the Lord. Hence, we also have to learn to use this booklet. First, you should memorize the four main sections. The first section is on God's creation, the second section is on man's fall, the third section is on Christ's redemption, and the fourth section is on God's dispensing. You need to learn to follow the Spirit's leading within you. When you sense you need to read a certain section, then turn to that section and read it. |
操练智慧的说话
叩访的时候,也要注意我们的态度,千万不要冒冒失失的,却要谦卑有礼,温和又恭敬,庄重而不草率。同时要学习说话简洁不啰嗦,热切而不冷淡。…如果人家回答你:“我没有空。”你也不要放弃,就说,“只花您一分钟。”结果可能因着这一分钟,他就相信,并且受浸了。 还有“人生的奥秘”这本小册子,…也大大为主使用…。所以我们也要学习用这本小册子。…首先要先学记里面的四大段:第一段是神的创造,第二段是人的堕落,第三段是基督的救赎,第四段是神的分赐。…你要学习跟随圣灵在你里面的引导,感觉该读那一段,就翻到那一段读。 |
A brother once testified that the person he visited said that his speaking was very good. I instructed those present that this was the right moment to pray. If that person would pray, he would believe and receive the Lord, and then the brother should baptize him. It was the same with me in the past. When I went to lead someone to the Lord, often at the critical juncture I did not have the boldness to lead him to pray. Instead, I kept thinking that it might be too early and that I should not take the opportunity. Once I lost the opportunity, though, I may have lost it for my whole life; I may never have had the opportunity to see him again. Brother Nee once told us that gospel preachers have to be thick-skinned. Those who are thin-skinned cannot lead people to salvation. Perhaps some brothers and sisters would say, “If this is the case, then since I am such a thin-skinned person, I may as well forget about going out to knock on doors.” In the past, when I saw strangers, I would start sweating, and my face would turn red. Every time my mother wanted to invite people to our home, I would be the first one to object because I did not like to meet strangers, and I disliked even more going to other people's homes. Later the Lord arranged the environment and forced me into a situation in which I had to stand and speak from the platform. It does not matter if you are thin-skinned; as long as you are willing to practice, willing to go visit by door-knocking, slowly you will have the boldness. On the other hand, while you are door-knocking, you must learn the technique of grasping the opportunity to lead a person to believe and pray. Immediately after he prays, you should show him Romans 10:13, which says, “For ‘whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.'” Then say to him, “My friend, congratulations! You are saved!” The next thing is to lead him to be baptized. |
学习抓住机会
我听见有圣徒见证,他所叩访的那个人对他说很好。我就告诉弟兄们,那时候就该…请他一同祷告;一祷告他就会相信接受,然后就为他施浸。…从前我去带人时…带到一个节骨眼,就是不敢带祷告,心里直想还早了一点,算了吧。这一算了,有时就算了一辈子,再也没机会见到了。 倪柝声弟兄曾告诉我们,传福音的人脸皮要厚;脸皮薄的人不能救人。也许有的弟兄姊妹说,“既是这样,我是脸皮薄的人,就不要出去叩访算了。”…从前我一看见人就出汗,脸立刻涨红;每次家里要请客,我都是第一个不赞成的,因为我不愿意见陌生人,更不愿意到别人家里去。…后来主安排环境,我被逼到一个地步,现在是常常站讲台。你脸皮薄没关系,只要肯操练,出去叩门探访,慢慢就会有胆量。…在叩门探访时,总得…抓住时机带人祷告相信。他祷告了,你就翻罗马十章十三节给他看:“凡呼求主名的,就必得救。”然后对他说,“朋友,恭喜你,你得救了!”接着就引导他受浸。 |
I hope that from now on everyone will practice door-knocking and visiting people. This is the first item we should practice. Maybe we cannot go out to knock on doors every day, but one thing we can do is spend two to three hours each week for door-knocking. We should visit not only those whom we know but also those we do not know. We should knock on all the doors in the district in which we live. Do not worry or be anxious. As long as we are willing to do it, we will be successful. |
