约壹一3　我们将所看见并听见的，也传与你们，使你们也可以与我们有交通；而且我们的交通，又是与父并与祂儿子耶稣基督所有的。

　　启二二1　天使又指给我看在城内街道当中一道生命水的河，明亮如水晶，从神和羔羊的宝座流出来。

　　神圣生命的涌流从五旬节那天开始，历经所有世代，一直涌流到今天，乃是唯一的水流。无论水流往哪里去，无论往哪里涌流，都没有许多水流，只有一道水流。你读使徒行传这卷书，就看见只有一道水流。这水流从耶路撒冷开始，流向安提阿，又从安提阿转向亚西亚，并在那里涌流。然后有一天主要这水流进到欧洲，到马其顿，但正在这水流里作工的使徒却不清楚这事。他后来才清楚，水流要从亚西亚往前流到欧洲，他必须随着水流往前。这是很熟悉的故事。从马其顿，水流继续流到哥林多、罗马、西班牙以及欧洲各地。历史告诉我们，水流从欧洲流向西方，到了美洲，又从西方流向东方和南方。我们读召会历史，就发现这水流从未停止过；我们也注意到这水流无论到哪里，都只是一道水流。……只有一道水流，你必须保守自己在这一道水流里（李文集一九六三年第一册，二二五页）。

　　1 John 1:3 That which we have seen and heard we report also to you that you also may have fellowship with us, and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

　　Rev. 22:1 And he showed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb in the middle of its street.

　　The flowing of the divine life, which started on the day of Pentecost and has been flowing throughout all generations to this very day, is only one stream. Wherever it goes, wherever it flows, it is not many streams; it is only one. Read the book of Acts, and you will see that there is one stream, one current. This stream started from Jerusalem and flowed to Antioch, and from Antioch it turned to Asia and was flowing there. Then one day the Lord wanted the stream to strike forth into Europe, to Macedonia, but the apostle who was working in the flowing of the stream was not clear about it. Eventually, however, he became clear that the flowing was striking forth from Asia to Europe, and he had to go along with it. It is a familiar story. From Macedonia the stream went in its path to Corinth, to Rome, to Spain, and to all parts of Europe. History tells us that from Europe it flowed to the west, to America; and from the west it flowed to the east and to the south. In reading the history of the church we find that this flowing stream has never been stopped, and we notice that everywhere this stream flowed, it was just one....There is only one stream, and you have to keep yourself in this one stream. (CWWL, 1963, vol. 1, "The Divine Stream," pp. 177-178)

　　你若读使徒行传和使徒保罗所写的书信，就会看见那时有好些人在传福音，并为主作工，却不在这水流里。……你若仔细研读召会历史，就会发现历世历代以来，一直只有一道圣灵的水流。许多人为主作工，但不是所有的人都在那一道水流中。你若接受主的怜悯和恩典，就会被带进今天仍在涌流的这道水流中。

　　圣灵这水流的涌流，就是基督身体的交通。这与我们肉身血液的循环相似。血液一直从身体一部分流到另一部分，然后再流回来。圣灵的水流就是这样，作为身体的交通，在这地上在圣徒中间涌流。

　　从水流的流通产生金、珍珠和宝石。请看创世记二章的图画，这些珍贵的材料是为着建造神的居所。水流所到之处，就产生为着建造召会的材料。请看旧约里神的居所—帐幕。在大祭司的肩上和胸牌上有宝石镶在金子里。使徒保罗告诉我们，召会是用金、银、宝石所建造的。这些材料是出于圣灵水流的涌流。启示录告诉我们，新耶路撒冷全城是由金、珍珠和宝石建造而成的。这一切材料是如何产生出来的？乃是从神圣生命水流的涌流而来的。哪里有神圣生命的水流，哪里就会产生一些材料，一些宝贵的材料，为着建造召会。你我绝不能产生为着召会建造的材料；唯有神圣生命的流，圣灵的水流，能作这事。这流经过历世历代，今天仍在涌流；这流所到之处，就产生金、珍珠和宝石，来为着神的建造（李文集一九六三年第一册，二二六至二三○页）。

　　If you read Acts and the Epistles written by the apostle Paul, you will see that quite a number of people at that time, who were preaching the gospel and working for the Lord, were not in the stream....If you study carefully the history of the church, you will find that throughout the generations there has been one stream of the Holy Spirit flowing all the time. Many have been working for the Lord, but not all have been in the flowing of that one stream. If you will accept the mercy and the grace of the Lord, you will be brought into that very stream that is flowing today.

　　The flowing of this stream of the Holy Spirit is the fellowship of the Body of Christ. It is similar to the circulation of the blood in our physical bodies. The blood is flowing all the time from one part to another and then back again. In just such a way the stream of the Holy Spirit as the fellowship of the Body is flowing among the saints upon this earth.

　　Out of the flowing of the stream come the gold, the pearls, and the precious stones. Look at the picture in Genesis 2. These precious substances are for the building of God's dwelling place. Wherever the flowing is, material will be produced for the building of the church. Look at the tabernacle, the dwelling place of God in the Old Testament. On the shoulder pieces and on the breastplate of the high priest were precious stones set in gold. The apostle Paul tells us that the church is built with gold, silver, and precious stones. These are the materials that come out of the flowing of the current of the Holy Spirit. In Revelation we are told that the entire city, the New Jerusalem, is built with gold, with pearls, and with precious stones. How did all these materials come into being? They came simply from the flowing of the current of the divine life. Where the stream of the divine life is, there some material, some precious material, for the building of the church will come into being. You and I can never produce material for the building of the church. Only the flowing of the divine life, the current of the Holy Spirit, can do this. It has been flowing through the generations and is flowing today, and wherever it goes, gold, pearls, and precious stones are produced for God's building.
