徒二十22~23　看哪，现在我灵里受捆绑，要往耶路撒冷去，不知道在那里要遇见什么事，只知道圣灵在各城里向我郑重见证说，有捆锁与患难等着我。

　　二三11　当夜，主站在保罗旁边说，你当壮胆，你怎样在耶路撒冷郑重地为我作了见证，也必照样在罗马为我作见证。

　　保罗〔第三次行程中〕回耶路撒冷，违背了五个感觉和教训：首先，圣灵给他正面的感觉，他没有顺服。其次，圣灵给他禁止的感觉，他也没有听从。千万记得，在我们的每一项行动中，若感觉不自然，就表示这行动有问题。第三，申言者的预言警告，他没有听从。第四，违反了身体的感觉。第五，违反了主明文的教训。主曾说，这城如果有逼迫，你们要从这城逃到那城（太十23）。保罗……没有必要回耶路撒冷，回去的目的也没有多大，况且还有苦难等着他（召会的历程，六○页）。

　　Acts 20:22-23 ...Behold, I am going bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will meet me there, except that the Holy Spirit solemnly testifies to me in city after city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.

　　23:11 But in the night following, the Lord stood by him and said, Take courage, for as you have solemnly testified to the things concerning Me in Jerusalem, so also you must testify in Rome.

　　Paul's return to Jerusalem went against five instances of feeling and teaching concerning the matter. First, the Holy Spirit gave him a positive feeling, but he did not obey it. Second, the Holy Spirit gave him a restricting feeling, but again he did not listen. In every move, if we do not feel the flow, there is a problem with what we are doing. Third, Agabus gave him a prophetic warning, but Paul did not listen. Fourth, he went against the feeling of the Body. Fifth, he went against the clear word of the Lord's teaching. The Lord said that if there is persecution in one city, we should leave it and flee to another city (Matt. 10:23). Paul did not need to return to Jerusalem, he did not have any great purpose in going there, and there were sufferings awaiting him there. (Three Aspects of the Church, Book 2: The Course of the Church, p. 50)

　　保罗里面原初的感觉，一直是要去罗马。当他要上罗马时，圣灵就向他启示，说他必在罗马为主作见证（徒二三11）。最后他是去了罗马；只是这次去，不如从前方便。从前去罗马是自由的，这次去是不方便的。……从这时候起，保罗的行踪受了很大的限制。

　　保罗在罗马监狱里，有很好的学习，很好的对付。他学了很深的功课，并且从罗马监狱，写了多卷宝贝的书信。……那一次，保罗应该从哥林多一直往前去，但因着他身上还有旧造的成分，还有陈旧的规条，不容易脱干净，以致成了他身上的盘绕，叫他走回头路，去了耶路撒冷。

　　两千年来，若是事奉主的人，一直让圣灵往前去，召会早已成熟。……圣灵若能在我们里面走直路，召会的开展绝不仅止于此（召会的历程，六一至六二、六五页）。

　　今天的工人分四种：头一种是应付神今日时代职事需要的同工；这班人是同心合意，经神对付过的少数人。第二种是后进的同工，他们愿意顺服年长同工的引导、支配，并愿意谦卑跟随学习。第三种是不肯服从前面先进的同工，又不属于公会，却又喜欢与我们交通的人。第四种是在公会中的传道人、自由布道家等。我们今天需要的，乃是头一种与第二种的同工。

　　同工在一地作工，需要与当地召会合作，工作与召会不能分开。一位同工在一地工作时，也是当地的一位弟兄。召会分配工作时，同工与弟兄们需站在同样的地位上，一样接受分配。

　　关于第三和第四种同工，我们只能让他们拣选他们自己的道路。有些人，神没有预备安排他们与我们走一样的路，我们对他们不敢有怎样的表示。……我们在此乃是作神所托付我们的一分工作。至于别人的工作如何，我们不能干涉，我们在此并不破坏别人的工作（倪柝声恢复职事过程中信息记录，一四五至一四六页）。

　　Paul's original feeling was that he needed to go to Rome. The Holy Spirit confirmed this by revealing to him that he would testify for the Lord in Rome (Acts 23:11). Ultimately, Paul did go to Rome, but not in a way of convenience. He could have gone to Rome in freedom; now he came in a different way....From this time onward, Paul's movements were greatly restricted.

　　In spite of the inconvenience of his imprisonment, Paul learned a deep lesson and wrote many precious Epistles while in prison....Paul should have gone straight to Rome from Corinth, but the elements of oldness within him and his attachments to the ordinances became an entanglement to him, causing him to go backward to Jerusalem.

　　Over the past two thousand years, if the servants of the Lord had always allowed the Holy Spirit to go forward, the church would have matured long ago....If the Holy Spirit has a straight way in us, the spread of the church would not be limited by us in any way. (Three Aspects of the Church, Book 2: The Course of the Church, pp. 51, 53)

　　Today there are four kinds of workers. The first are the co-workers who match the need of the ministry of God in the present age. This is a small group of people who have been dealt with by the Lord and who are in one accord. The second kind are the younger co-workers. They are willing to receive the direction and to come under the coordination of the older co-workers, and they are willing to follow and to learn in humility. The third kind are those who are unwilling to submit to the senior co-workers, who do not belong to the denominations, yet who are happy to remain in fellowship with us. The fourth kind are the preachers and free evangelists among the denominations. What we need today are the first and the second kind of co-workers.

　　When a co-worker is in a certain place, he has to cooperate with the local church in that place. The work and the church cannot be separated one from the other. When a co-worker is working in a certain place, he is at the same time one of the local brothers. When the church assigns work to the saints, the co-workers should stand on the same ground as the local brothers and should accept assignments in the same way.

　　Concerning the third and the fourth kind of co-workers, we can only let them choose their own pathway. With some people, God has not assigned them to take the same way as we do, and we dare not say anything to them....We are here to do the work that God has committed to us. We cannot interfere with others' work, and we are not here tearing down others' work. (Messages Given during the Resumption of Watchman Nee's Ministry, vol. 1, pp. 147-148)
