申八9 ……那地的石头是铁，山内可以挖铜。

　　三三25 你的门闩是铁的，是铜的；你的日子如何，你的力量也必如何。

　　太二八18 耶稣进前来，对他们说，天上地上所有的权柄，都赐给我了。

　　当主从死里复活以后，祂告诉我们，天上地上所有的权柄都赐给祂了。属灵的权柄，属天的权柄总是在复活里的。若是你和我是在基督的复活生命里生活行走，我们就必有天上的权柄。

　　召会的权柄与组织毫无关系，……若是在地方召会里有两位弟兄是那样在复活里，那神圣属天的权柄就是交付给他们；他们就是召会的权柄。……他们有复活随着，所以他们也就有国度的权柄随着（包罗万有的基督，八七至八八页）。

　　Deut. 8:9 …A land whose stones are iron, and from whose mountains you can mine copper.

　　33:25 Your doorbolts shall be iron and copper; and as your days are, so shall your strength be.

　　Matt. 28:18 …Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

　　When the Lord was raised from the dead, He told us that all authority in heaven and on earth was given to Him. The spiritual authority, the heavenly authority, is always in resurrection. If you and I are living and walking in the resurrection life of Christ, we will have the authority of heaven.

　　The authority of the church has nothing to do with organization.…If two brothers in a local church are so much in the resurrection, to them the divine, heavenly authority is committed. They are the authority of the church….With them is the resurrection, so with them is the authority of the kingdom. (CWWL, 1961-1962, vol. 4, “The All-inclusive Christ,” p. 257)

　　召会的权柄乃是在于圣徒知道什么叫作与主耶稣同钉，并活在复活里面。若是他们笑，他们乃是在复活里笑；若是他们哭，他们乃是在复活里哭；连他们生气，他们也是在复活的生命里生气。他们在日常生活中经历主复活的生命。这对于他们不是仅仅一个教训，乃是每天实际的享受。当你遇见他们的时候，你觉得他们是大山上的石头。属天的权柄乃是交付给他们，他们是召会的权柄。若是这里的圣徒是这样的话，这里就有神的殿和神的国度。

　　主对我们说，“我实在告诉你们，凡你们在地上捆绑的，必是在诸天之上已经捆绑的；凡你们在地上释放的，必是在诸天之上已经释放的。”（太十八18）这就是权柄。但是记得，你必须在复活的生命里面，你必须有复活的立场。

　　申命记三十三章二十五节告诉我们，门闩是铁和铜造的。门是作为我们的保护，我们的防守，我们的保障。我们若是能运用主的权柄和主的审判，我们就有安全，有保护。我们的门是用主的权柄和审判来闩上的。最安全，最有保障的信徒就是知道运用基督权柄的人。他们有力量，因为他们有权柄；所以他们就有安全和保护，因此也就有安息。

　　神的建造总是随着这一种的基督徒。他们不只是建造的材料，不只是石头来为着房屋，并且他们就是建造在一起的房子。这一种的信徒有神的权柄，神的政权；因此，在他们中间就有神的国度，有大山或小山。

　　我们一旦有了权柄，我们就不需要去应付那么多的事情，甚至不需要为那么多的事情祷告。我们有权利运用权柄来管治这些事。当车子迎着警察而来时，他需不需要打电话给市长，请示可否叫车子停止？那太可笑了！警察已经接受权柄去作这事了。照样，我们也无须向神求救。我们可以，也应该站住我们的立场，运用我们的权柄。

　　但是……我们在生命上若未达到某种程度的成熟，我们就不能如此作。……当哥林多召会的一个弟兄发生某个问题时，保罗无法容忍了，他就告诉他们说，他已经审判了那人，并且在主耶稣的名里把那人交给撒但（林前五3~5）。他使用他的权利，他拿起他的权柄。我们若是也要这样作，我们就必须像保罗一样有生命的成熟（包罗万有的基督，八八、一○○至一○一页）。

　　参读：包罗万有的基督，第八章。

　　The authority of the church is where the saints know what it means to be crucified with the Lord Jesus and live in the resurrection. If they laugh, they laugh in resurrection; if they cry, they cry in resurrection. Even when they are angry, they are angry in the life of resurrection. They experience the Lord’s resurrection life in their daily walk. It is not a mere teaching to them but a practical daily enjoyment. When you meet them, you feel that they are stones in the mountain. They are the ones to whom the heavenly authority is committed. They are the authority of the church. If the saints are like that here, then the house of God and the kingdom of God are here.

　　The Lord said to us, “Whatever you bind on the earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on the earth shall have been loosed in heaven” (Matt. 18:18). This is authority. But remember, you must be in the resurrection life; you must have the resurrection ground.

　　In Deuteronomy 33:25 we are told that the doorbolts of the gates are made of iron and copper. These gates are for our protection, our defense, our safeguard. If we are able to exercise the Lord’s authority and the Lord’s judgment, we will have the safety and security. Our doors will be bolted with the authority and judgment of the Lord. The most safe and the most secure are those believers who know something regarding the exercise of Christ’s authority. They have strength because they have authority, so they have safety and security and therefore rest.

　　The building of God is always with this kind of Christians. They are not only the material for the building, not only the stones for the house, but also the house built together. With this kind of believers is the authority of God, the divine government; therefore, with them is the kingdom of God, the mountains or the hills.

　　When we have the authority, there is no need for us to deal with so many things. Even to pray about many matters is not necessary. We have the right to exercise authority over these things. When traffic approaches the policeman, does he need to call the mayor and ask that he do something to stop it? This is ridiculous. The policeman is authorized to do this. In exactly the same manner, there is no need for us to call to God for help. We may and we must simply take our ground and exercise our authority.

　　But…we cannot do this without some degree of spiritual maturity….When a certain problem arose regarding a brother in the church at Corinth and the apostle [Paul] could not tolerate it, he told them that he judged and delivered that person into the hand of Satan in the name of the Lord Jesus (1 Cor. 5:3-5). He exercised his right; he assumed the authority. If we would do likewise, we, like Paul, must have the maturity of life. (CWWL, 1961-1962, vol. 4, “The All-inclusive Christ,” pp. 257-258, 265-267)
