弗一22~23　将万有服在祂的脚下，并使祂向着召会作万有的头；召会是祂的身体，是那在万有中充满万有者的丰满。

　　徒二36　所以，以色列全家当确实地知道，你们钉在十字架上的这位耶稣，神已经立祂为主为基督了。
　　召会得胜的祷告……乃是时代的祷告。在这些日子里，我们需要学习关于得胜祷告的事。我们基督徒也许懂得一些祷告的事，但在圣经里，特别在新约里，有一种祷告远超过我们人的观念。进入这种祷告，需要属天的异象。
　　这属天异象的头一方面是基督的升天（李文集一九六三年第一册，一九八页）。

　　Eph. 1:22-23 And He subjected all things under His feet and gave Him to be Head over all things to the church, which is His Body, the fullness of the One who fills all in all.
　　Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made Him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you have crucified.

　　The prevailing prayer of the church...is the prayer of the age. In these days we need to learn something concerning prevailing prayer. As Christians we may know something concerning prayer, but in the Scriptures, especially in the New Testament, there is one kind of prayer that is far beyond our human concept. To enter into this kind of prayer, we need a heavenly vision.

　　The first main point of this heavenly vision is the ascension of Christ. (CWWL, 1963, vol. 1, p. 159)

　　基督的升天指明，主的救赎工作已经完全完成。主升到天上以后，就坐在神的右边（来一3，十12）。在这里，坐下的意思是安息。当人坐下时，意思是他必须作的每一件事都完成、成就了。当人再没有事要作，他就坐下安息。主在天上坐在神的右边，意思是祂作完了祂必须作的每一件事。
　　基督的升天指明基督为主的身分得着建立。基督为主的身分乃是借着基督的升天得着建立的。一般说来，所有的信徒都承认基督是主。……今天主基督不仅仅是创造宇宙的主。今天主基督也是神成了肉体来作人。今天有一个人已经被高举到天上，被立为宇宙的主。
　　在五旬节那天彼得宣告：“所以，以色列全家当确实地知道，你们钉在十字架上的这位耶稣，神已经立祂为主为基督了。”（徒二36）使徒保罗也告诉我们，神“将万有服在祂的脚下，并使祂……作万有的头”（弗一22）。这与我们的天然观念迥然不同。
　　再者，以弗所一章二十二节告诉我们，基督“向着召会”作万有的头。主所得着并所达到的一切，不仅是为着祂自己，也是向着召会。这意思是说，祂所得着并所达到的一切，正向着召会传输。我们需要看见这属天事实的属天异象。仇敌，就是魔鬼和他的邪灵，对这事比我们知道得更清楚。邪恶的势力知道基督被立为主是什么意思。因此，我们需要领悟这事实，并真有所看见。我们需要看见属天的事实，就是基督已被神高举，被立为宇宙的主，并向着召会作万有的头。万有都在祂的脚下，并且祂所得着并所达到的一切，都向着那作祂身体（23）的召会传输。
　　〔这属天异象的〕第二个要点是作基督身体之召会的地位。因着召会是基督的身体，召会的地位与基督的地位完全一样。无论头在哪里，身体也必定在哪里。无论头有什么，身体也必定有什么。除此之外，我们需要领悟，我们是基督身体的肢体（林前十二27，弗五30）。身体既与头是一，身体的地位就与头的地位完全一样。
　　〔这属天异象的〕第三个要点是关于基督身体的权柄。……〔在此〕特别使用“权柄”这辞，而不用“能力”一辞，甚至不用“权利”一辞。身体的权柄是什么？身体的权柄乃是身体所运用之头的权柄。因此，身体的权柄就是头的权柄。……我们作为召会，基督的身体，需要取用基督的权柄（李文集一九六三年第一册，一九九至二〇二页）。
　　参读：李文集一九六三年第一册，在基督升天的立场上祷告，第二篇。

　　The ascension of Christ indicates that the Lord's redemptive work is fully complete. After the Lord ascended to the heavens, He sat down at the right hand of God (Heb. 1:3; 10:12). Here, to sit down means to rest. When someone sits down, it means that everything that he had to do has been finished and accomplished. When someone has nothing more to do, he sits down to rest. The fact that the Lord is in the heavens sitting down at the right hand of God means that He has done everything that He had to do.

　　The ascension of Christ indicates that the lordship of Christ has been established. The lordship of Christ was established by the ascension of Christ. Generally speaking, all believers recognize that Christ is the Lord....Today the Lord Christ is not merely the Lord who created the universe. The Lord Christ today is also God who was incarnated to be a man. Today there is a man in the heavens who has been exalted and established to be the Lord of the universe.

　　On the day of Pentecost Peter declared, "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made Him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you have crucified" (Acts 2:36). The apostle Paul also tells us that God "subjected all things under His feet and gave Him to be Head over all things" (Eph. 1:22). This is very different from our natural concept.

　　Moreover, Ephesians 1:22 tells us that Christ was given to be Head over all things "to the church." Everything that the Lord has obtained and attained is not only for Himself but is also to the church. This means that everything that He has obtained and attained is being transmitted to the church. We need to see a heavenly vision of this heavenly fact. The enemy—the devil and his evil spirits—knows this much better than we do. The evil forces know what it means for Christ to be made Lord. Therefore, we need to realize this fact and to genuinely see it. We need to see the heavenly fact that Christ has been exalted by God, established as Lord of the universe, and made Head over all things to the church. All things are under His feet, and everything that He has obtained and attained is being transmitted to the church, which is His Body (v. 23).

　　The second main point [of this heavenly vision] is the position of the church as the Body of Christ. Because the church is the Body of Christ, the position of the church is exactly the same as that of Christ. Wherever the Head is, the Body also must be. Whatever the Head has, the Body also must have. In addition, we need to realize that we are members of the Body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:27; Eph. 5:30). Since the Body is identified with the Head, the position of the Body is exactly the same as that of the Head.

　　The third main point...concerns the authority of the Body. I specifically use the word authority rather than the word power or even the word right.What is the authority of the Body? The authority of the Body is the authority of the Head exercised by the Body. Thus, the authority of the Body is the authority of the Head....As the church, the Body of Christ, we need to assume the authority of Christ.
