四 我们需要看见作基督身体之召会的祷告: |
D We need to see the prayer of the church as the Body of Christ: |
1 这种祷告不是个别信徒的祷告,乃是召会作为基督身体的祷告;在肉身一面,我们可能在自己的房间里独自祷告,但在属灵一面,我们与基督的身体是一—参王上八48。 |
1 This kind of prayer is not the prayer of individual believers but the prayer of the church as the Body of Christ; physically, we may be praying in our room only by ourselves, but spiritually, we are one with the Body (cf. 1 Kings 8:48). |
2 在这种祷告里,我们不是乞求主为我们作一些事;我们乃是支取主已经得着并达到的: |
2 In this kind of prayer, we do not beg the Lord to do something for us; instead, we claim what the Lord has obtained and attained: |
a 基督已经得着为主的身分和元首的身分;祂乃是主,是向着召会作万有的头。 |
a Christ has obtained the lordship and the headship; He is the Lord and the Head over all things to the church. |
b 基督已经达到宇宙的最高处;神已经使祂从死人中复活,叫祂在诸天界里,坐在自己的右边,远超过宇宙中一切执政的、掌权的、有能的、主治的—弗一20~21。 |
b Christ has attained the highest place in the universe; He has been raised from the dead and is seated at God's right hand in the heavenlies, far above all rule, authority, power, and lordship in the universe (Eph. 1:20-21). |
3 当我们根据主在升天里所得着的祷告,我们可以祷告说,“主,我们不同意目前的光景;作为你的身体,我们取用你升天的立场,并支取你的为主身分,以应付目前的光景。” |
3 When we pray according to what the Lord has obtained in ascension, we may pray, "Lord, we do not go along with the present situation; as Your Body, we take the ground of Your ascension and claim Your lordship over the present situation." |

弗一20~22 就是祂在基督身上所运行的,使祂从死人中复活,叫祂在诸天界里,坐在自己的右边,远超过一切执政的、掌权的、有能的、主治的、以及一切受称之名,不但是今世的,连来世的也都在内,……并使祂向着召会作万有的头。 〔属天异象的〕第四个要点是作基督身体之召会的祷告。这种祷告不是个别信徒的祷告,乃是召会作为基督身体的祷告。我们也许并不熟悉这种祷告。我们对这种祷告也许一无所知,因为这种祷告不是我们自然就想到的。这祷告是基于我们已经得着基督的地位和权柄这个事实。在这种祷告里,我们不是乞求主为我们作一些事;我们乃是支取主已经得着并达到的。然而,我们要这样祷告,就必须看见主已经得着并达到了什么。基督已经得着为主的身分和元首的身分;祂乃是主,是万有的头。为主的身分和元首的身分是主所得着的最重要方面(李文集一九六三年第一册,二〇二至二〇三页)。 |

我们一领会主得着什么,就需要应用。事实上,运用基督为主的身分和元首的身分很简单。……你遇见〔一位弟兄〕时,可能感觉他在主面前的光景和地位不对。结果,你也许有负担为他祷告。在这情形中,你可以有两种方式祷告。一种方式……是大部分信徒为别人祷告时所采取的方式。你可能以这种一般的方式到主面前,告诉祂:“主,这位弟兄的光景很可怜。主,怜悯他。在他身上作一些事。在他灵里作工。”这是为别人祷告一般的方式。然而,还有另一种祷告的方式。这种方式很特别,并且对我们似乎是陌生的。这不是普通祷告的方式,乃是超特的方式。在这种祷告的方式里,你对主是放胆的。你可以到主面前,说,“主,这里有一位弟兄,还不在你的元首身分之下。我不同意这事。我不赞成这种情形。主,我站起来宣告你的为主身分,在这情形里取用它。”我们可以用同样的方式为罪人祷告:“主,你的为主身分必须运用在这人身上。主,我支取这个。”我们需要领悟一般祷告的方式和这第二种祷告的方式之间的不同。 在这第二种祷告的方式里,我们摸着基督的权柄。然而,我们必须看见,我们绝不能凭自己这样祷告。这意思不是说,我们必须始终在肉身一面与其他一些弟兄们聚在一起。在肉身一面,你可能在自己的房间里独自祷告,但在属灵一面,你与基督的身体是一。当你独自在你的房间里时,有时你也许选择不用“我”这个代名词,反而用“我们”这个代名词,祷告说,“主,我们不同意目前的光景。作为你的身体,我们取用你升天的立场,并支取你的为主身分,以应付目前的光景。”这是一种不同的祷告。这不是祷告乞求主为你作什么事;而是祷告支取主所已经得着的。 这些日子,我们需要学习祷告支取主所已经得着的。我们也需要学习如何运用主所已经达到的,因为主不仅得到最大的限度,祂也达到最高的高度。举例来说,假设你生病了。你若对主已经得着并达到的有异象,当你在这种光景中,你会祷告:“主,你是超越的一位。你已被高举到诸天之上。主,我们是你的身体。我们与你一同坐在诸天界里。万有都已经服在你的脚下,因此万有也在我们脚下。这小病包括在‘万有’里,所以这小病也必须在我的脚下。我现在与你一同超越。”你看见这种祷告与我们一般的祷告方式的不同么?(李文集一九六三年第一册,二〇三至二〇五页) 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。 |
Eph. 1:20-22 Which He caused to operate in Christ in raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His right hand in the heavenlies, far above all rule and authority and power and lordship and every name that is named not only in this age but also in that which is to come;...and gave Him to be Head over all things to the church. The fourth main point [of the heavenly vision] is the prayer of the church as the Body of Christ. This kind of prayer is not the prayer of individual believers but the prayer of the church as the Body of Christ. This kind of prayer may be unfamiliar to us. We may know nothing about it because this kind of prayer is not something that we naturally consider. This is prayer that is based on the fact that we have the position and authority of Christ. In this kind of prayer we do not beg the Lord to do something for us. Instead, we claim what the Lord has obtained and attained. However, to pray in this way, we must have some realization of what the Lord has obtained and attained. Christ has obtained the lordship and the headship; He is the Lord, the Head over all things. The lordship and the headship are the most important aspects of what the Lord has obtained. (CWWL, 1963, vol. 1, p. 162) |
