太六33　但你们要先寻求祂的国和祂的义，这一切就都要加给你们了。

　　弗六12　因我们并不是与血肉之人摔跤，乃是与那些执政的、掌权的、管辖这黑暗世界的、以及诸天界里那邪恶的属灵势力摔跤。

　　有一件事是极为重要的，就是认识在起初的时候有两棵树—生命树和善恶知识树（创二9）。生命树表征神，知识树表征撒但。人把知识树接受到他里面，意思就是撒但进到他里面。撒但是罪的化身，现今就在人里面（罗七8、11、17、20）。撒但进到人里面之后，就开始浸透他，毒害他，并完全占有他。因此，人败坏了，被蒙蔽了。被撒但蒙蔽并败坏，意思是被摆在撒但的权下。人成为撒但国度的公民，服于撒但的管治之下。每一个从人生的，都一样是撒但国度的公民；每一个人生来就服在撒但之下。因此，人偷窃、斗殴并凶杀。这就是撒但的国。这就是撒但的生命，连同其一切活动的总和（CWWL一九七二年第二册，八三页）。

　　Matt. 6:33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

　　Eph. 6:12 For our wrestling is not against blood and flesh but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenlies.

　　It is of tremendous importance to realize that at the very beginning, there were two trees—the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Gen. 2:9). The tree of life signifies God, and the tree of knowledge signifies Satan. Man took the tree of knowledge into him, meaning that Satan entered into man. Satan, as sin personified, is now inside of man (Rom. 7:8, 11, 17, 20). After coming into man, Satan began to saturate him, poison him, and take full possession of him. Thus, man became corrupted and darkened. To be darkened and corrupted by Satan means to be placed under the authority of Satan. Man became a citizen in Satan's kingdom, subject to the rule of Satan. Everyone born of man is likewise a citizen in Satan's kingdom. Every human being is subject to Satan by birth. Therefore, men steal, fight, and kill. This is the kingdom of Satan. This is the totality of the satanic life with all its activities. (CWWL, 1972, vol. 2, “The Kingdom,” p. 67)

　　有一天……神来成为肉体，成了人。神的愿望乃是要进到人里面。当我们呼求主耶稣的名，祂就进到我们里面作生命。从那时起，神就在我们里面生长。……神越生长，就越扩展，并且在我们里面占有越多的地位。祂占有越多的地位，就越掌权。国度是神在我们里面，借着生命内里的生长，而有神圣的掌权。神的国就是神作我们的生命，在我们里面扩展，在我们里面占有地位，并且治理我们全人。

　　有两个国度，也有两个灵。约翰四章二十四节告诉我们，神是灵；以弗所二章二节启示，撒但这空中掌权者的首领也是一个灵。这邪灵在每一个人里面运行。

　　马太十二章二十六节指明撒但有一个国度，约翰十二章三十一节描述撒但是这世界的王。撒但不仅是运行者，他也是王。他管理全地，在他以下有许多属下、许多阶层；以弗所六章十二节将这些阶层描述为执政的和掌权的。……撒但是这世界的王，也是空中掌权者的首领。在地上有人类，在空中有背叛之天使的有能者。撒但的国是由堕落的人类和背叛的天使所构成的。在地上，堕落的人类是撒但国度的公民；在空中，背叛之天使的有能者和主治者，为撒但管理这地。撒但是空中掌权者的首领。撒但是邪灵，已经进到每一个人里面。他在每一个人里面运行，没有例外。他是这样的运行者，借此他产生了国度。撒但现今就住在人的身体里。

　　撒但以人的身体作他的住处，但主耶稣以人的灵作祂的住处。神在祂的主宰权柄里，为祂自己保全了人的灵。虽然人的灵受邪恶身体和败坏心思的影响，到一个地步，是已经死了，但我们无法从圣经看见任何提示，说到撒但已经进到人的灵里。当我们悔改相信主耶稣，祂立刻就进到我们的灵里。仇敌尽力将人的灵这事向基督徒隐藏起来。圣经清楚地告诉我们，主耶稣基督与我们的灵同在（提后四22）。从我们的灵，祂正在我们里面生长并扩展，在我们全人里占有更多的地位。借着在我们里面占有更多的地位，祂实际地在我们里面作王掌权。这是主耶稣内里的掌权（CWWL一九七二年第二册，八四至八六页）。

　　One day Jehovah-plus came. God was incarnated as a man. God's desire is to come into man. When we call on the name of the Lord Jesus, He comes into us as life. From that point on, God grows within us....The more God grows, the more He spreads, and the more ground He occupies within us. The more ground He occupies, the more He reigns. The kingdom is God's divine reign in us through the inward growth of life. The kingdom of God is God being life to us, spreading in us, occupying the ground in us, and reigning over our whole being.

　　There are two kingdoms, and there are two spirits. John 4:24 shows that God is Spirit, and Ephesians 2:2 reveals that Satan, the ruler of the authority of the air, is also a spirit. This evil spirit is operating in every human being.

　　Matthew 12:26 indicates that Satan has a kingdom, and John 12:31 describes Satan as the ruler of this world. Satan is not only the operator; he is the ruler. He rules the whole earth, and he has many subordinates, many ranks, under him, which Ephesians 6:12 describes as rulers and authorities....He is the ruler of this world, and he is also the ruler of the authority of the air. On the earth there is the human race, and in the air there are the rebellious angelic powers. Satan's kingdom is composed of the fallen human race and the rebellious angels. On the earth, the members of the fallen human race are the citizens of the kingdom of Satan; in the air, the rebellious angelic powers and principalities rule this earth for Satan. He is the ruler of the authority of the air. Satan, as the evil spirit, has come into every human being. He operates in every human being without exception. By being such an operator, he has produced a kingdom. Satan now dwells in man's body.

　　Satan takes the human body as his dwelling place, but the Lord Jesus takes the human spirit as His dwelling place. God in His sovereignty has preserved the human spirit for Himself. Although the human spirit has been influenced by the evil body and the corrupt mentality to the point that it has been deadened, we can find no hint in the Bible that Satan has ever entered into the human spirit. When we repent and believe in the Lord Jesus, He immediately comes into our spirit. The enemy tries his best to hide this matter of the human spirit from Christians. The Bible tells us clearly that the Lord Jesus Christ is with our spirit (2 Tim. 4:22). From our spirit He is growing and spreading within us, taking possession of more ground in our being. By occupying more ground within us, He actually reigns within us. This is the inward reigning of the Lord Jesus. (CWWL, 1972, vol. 2, “The Kingdom,” pp. 67-69)
