弗六17~18　还要借着各样的祷告和祈求，接受……那灵的剑，那灵就是神的话；时时在灵里祷告……。

　　西三16　当用各样的智慧，让基督的话丰丰富富地住在你们里面，用诗章、颂辞、灵歌，彼此教导，互相劝戒，心被恩感歌颂神。

　　〔要〕时时刻刻活基督，你必须接上插头，接触这两条线，话与灵。……我们如果要活基督，就必须接上插头，通上电流。……不住地祷告乃是保守你自己接上插头，通上属天的电流。你如果与属天的电流隔绝，你就了了，你在基督里有多少年的经历都不管用。这间房子接上电也许有五十年了，但如果与电绝了缘，电流就中断了。

　　帖前五章十七节说，“不住地祷告。”歌罗西四章二节说，“要坚定持续地祷告。”……以弗所六章十八节说，“时时……祷告。”这就是说，每一秒钟都要祷告；不但是每小时、每分钟祷告，更是要每秒钟都祷告。……圣经里的祷告乃是属灵的呼吸。在所有维持我们生命的条件中，呼吸是从来不停止的。所以新约圣经说到要不住地祷告、恒切地祷告、随时祷告、时时在灵里祷告。我们怎么能够时时祷告？我们把以弗所五章十七至二十节和歌罗西三章十六至十七节放在一起来看就清楚了。这两段圣经是平行的，可以说是姊妹经节。以弗所书是说在灵里被充满（五18），这当然是指祷告说的。你要在灵里被充满，除了祷告以外别无他途。……你必须祷告（CWWL一九八○年第一册，二四○至二四一页）。

　　Eph. 6:17-18 "And receive…the sword of the Spirit, which Spirit is the word of God, by means of all prayer and petition, praying at every time in spirit…"

　　Col. 3:16 "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God."

　　[To live Christ all the time] we must be plugged into the contact with these two wires, the Word and the Spirit.…If we are going to live Christ, we must have ourselves plugged into this current.…To pray unceasingly…is to keep ourselves plugged into that heavenly current. Once we are cut off from the heavenly current, we are through. It does not matter how many years of experience we have in Christ. Although this room may have received electricity for fifty years, once it is insulated, the current is cut off.

　　First Thessalonians 5:17 says, “Unceasingly pray.” Colossians 4:2 says, “Persevere in prayer.” …Ephesians 6:18 says, “Praying at every time.” This means praying at every second—not only praying at every hour or every minute but every second.…Praying in the Bible is spiritual breathing. Among all the matters that maintain our human life, our breathing never ceases. So the New Testament says to pray unceasingly, pray continually, pray at every time, and pray at every time in spirit. How could we pray all the time? By putting Ephesians 5:17-20 and Colossians 3:16-17 together, we can be clear. These two portions are parallel portions, sister portions. Ephesians says, “Be filled in spirit.” No doubt this surely refers to prayer. There is no other way for you to be filled in your spirit.…You have to pray. (CWWL, 1980, vol. 1, “Perfecting Training, ” pp. 179-180)

　　歌罗西三章十六节说，“让基督的话丰丰富富地住在你们里面。”你怎样让基督的话住在你里面？你应当用各样的智慧，用诗章、颂辞、灵歌，彼此教导，互相劝戒，心被恩感歌颂神。十七节接着说，“凡你们所作的，无论是什么，或说话，或行事，都要在主耶稣的名里，借着祂感谢父神。”……我们有那灵如同天线，又有话如同地线。天线在我们里面，在我们灵里，而地线在我们手中；我们只需要留在这里运用这两条线。……这完全在于我们每天的实行。我们必须实行不住地祷告、不住地赞美、不住地颂咏、歌唱和感谢，因为这样就是不断地把祂吸进来，被祂浸透，叫我们实际地与祂是一；我们自然就会活基督。

　　唯有当你呼吸主的话、祷告主的话、赞美主的话、唱读主的话、颂咏主的话时，圣经对你才是活的。圣经的每一行对你都成为活的神、活的纽玛。这样你就会得着传输、灌输、浸润，祂要成为你的一切，使你与祂是一。凡你所说、所作的都是基督。这就是活基督。你们必须这样付诸实行。

　　没有别的事情比领悟主不要我们作什么更讨祂喜悦。祂只要我们爱祂，把自己向祂敞开，并且让祂从我们里面活出来。……从起初神造人，神就无意要求人来为祂作什么。神的心意乃是要造一个器皿来盛装祂、彰显祂，因此神只要器皿是敞开的。如果器皿是敞开的，神就能完成祂的定旨，但如果器皿是关闭的，神的定旨就会受到拦阻。……保罗的十四封书信……可以总结为“敞开的器皿”这几个字。神要一个敞开的器皿（CWWL一九八○年第一册，二四二、二四五、三二三、三二六页）。

　　Colossians 3:16 says, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.” How do you let the word of Christ dwell in you? It should be in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God. Then verse 17 says, “Whatever you do in word or in deed, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” We have the Spirit as the antenna wire and the Word as the ground wire. The antenna wire is in us, in our spirit, and the ground wire is in our hand; we just need to remain here with these two wires.…It altogether depends upon our daily practice. We must practice continual prayer and continual praising and continual psalming and singing and thanking because we are breathing Him in, making Him our saturation and making ourselves practically one with Him. Spontaneously we will live Christ.

　　The Bible could be living to you only when you breathe it, when you pray it, when you praise it, when you sing-read it, when you psalm-read it. All the lines of the Holy Writings will become the living God, the living pneuma, to you. Then you will get the transmission, the transfusion, the permeation, making Him everything to you and making you one with Him. Then whatever you say and whatever you do will be Christ. This is to live Christ. You must put this into practice.

　　Nothing pleases the Lord so much as for us to realize that He does not want us to do anything. He only wants us to love Him, to open ourselves up to Him, and to let Him live from within us.… From the very beginning when God created man, God had no intention to ask man to do anything for Him. God's intention was to create a vessel to contain Him and to express Him, so God only wants an opening of the vessel. If the vessel is open, God can fulfill His purpose, but if the vessel is closed, God's purpose is frustrated. Paul's fourteen Epistles…[in] summary…may be expressed in just two words: open vessel. God wants an open vessel. (CWWL, 1980, vol. 1, “Perfecting Training, “pp. 181-183, 239, 241)
