赛十四12~14　明亮之星，清晨之子啊，你何竟从天坠落！…你心里曾说，我要升到天上；我要高举我的宝座…使自己与至高者一样。

　　太六9~10　　　所以你们要这样祷告：我们在诸天之上的父，…愿你的国来临，愿你的旨意行在地上，如同行在天上。

　　在宇宙中有三个意志：神的意志、撒但的意志、以及人的意志。我们若要知道召会如何能作神的战士，从事属灵的争战，我们就必须认识这三个意志，这三个意愿。神的意志是自有永有的，是永远的、非受造的。作为受造之物的天使也有意志。众天使中的一位，就是天使长，受神指派管理亚当被造之前的宇宙。这天使长因着自己的高位和美丽，就变得骄傲起来。这骄傲使他兴起邪恶的意愿，这就成了撒但的意志。因此，在神的意愿，神的意志之外，还有第二个意愿，第二个意志；因为撒但的意志如今是对抗神的意志的。（以弗所书生命读经，六三四页。）

　　Isa. 14:12-14 How you have fallen from heaven, O Daystar, son of the dawn!…You said in your heart: I will ascend to heaven;…I will exalt my throne…. I will make myself like the Most High.

　　Matt. 6:9-10 You then pray in this way: Our Father who is in the heavens…; Your kingdom come; Your will be done, as in heaven, so also on earth.

　　In the universe there are three wills: the divine will, the satanic will, and the human will. If we would know how the church can be God’s warrior to engage in spiritual warfare, we must know these three wills, these three intentions. God’s will, being self-existing, is eternal, uncreated. As created beings, the angels also have a will. One of these angels, an archangel, was appointed by God to rule the universe that existed before the creation of Adam. Because of his high position and his beauty, this archangel became proud. This pride gave rise to an evil intention, which became the satanic will. Therefore, in addition to God’s intention, God’s will, there is a second intention, a second will, for now the satanic will is set against God’s will. (Life-study of Ephesians, p. 527)

　　按着人的想法，神为什么不在一分钟之内把撒但消灭了。但是神没有这样作。神要和人合起来去对付撒但。神有神的意志，撒但有撒但的意志，人也有人的意志。神就是要得着人的意志和祂合起来，祂不肯单独的去把撒但消灭了。我们不知道这是为什么，但我们知道神喜欢这样作。神不单独作，神要人和祂合作。这就是召会在地上的责任。

　　神要作一件事，祂就要把祂自己的意思借着圣灵摆在我们里面，经我们把那意思化成祷告之后，神才把那件事作好。神作事必须有这么多的手续，神作事非这样不行，神需要我们人和祂合作，神需要有一个意志是和祂同心的，是和祂同情的。如果神所有的事都是不顾我们人就去作的话，那就完全用不着我们人在这里了，我们就不必知道什么是神的旨意了。但是，神每一个旨意都要我们去遵行，神要叫我们的意思与祂的旨意合在一起。（倪柝声文集第二辑第十八册，一八至一九页。）

　　按创世记二章来看，神造人是给人自由意志的。神有神的旨意，人有人的意志，人的意志和神的旨意一不合，神就立刻受限制。…如果在地上都是没有灵的物质，神可以不受任何的限制。但是有一天，神造了人。那一个人不像一块石头，不像一根木头，不像一张桌子，不像一把椅子，让神把它摆在这里就在这里，把它搬到那里就到那里。神造的那一个人是有自由意志的，那一个人可以决定说，我听神的话；那一个人也可以决定说，我不听神的话。神没有造出一个人是非听祂的话不可的。神所造的一个人是有自由意志的，神所造的一个人是能听神的话，也能不听神的话的。

　　神为什么要在时间里受限制呢？因为神知道祂在第二个永世里要得着一个和谐的意志，就是人自由的意志和神的旨意是和谐的。这是神的荣耀。…神不乐意祂所造的人像一本书那样听人摆布。神愿意人完全顺服祂，神也给人一个自由的意志，神的意思是要人的自由意志拣选顺服祂。这是神的荣耀！

　　在将来的永世里，人自由的意志要和神永远的旨意合在一起。那将是神永远的旨意得着成功的时候，那时人自由的意志与神永远的旨意是和谐的。在每一个人的生命里都有自由意志，而每一个自由意志都是合乎神的旨意的。在将来的永世里，人有自由的意志，人的意志拣选站在神的一边，人能反对神而不反对神。阿利路亚！…这一种和谐的意志乃是神的荣耀！（教会祷告的职事，五至七页。）

　　Man wonders why God would not destroy Satan quickly. But God would not do this. He wants man to join Him in dealing with Satan. God has His will, Satan has his will, and man also has his will. God wants man’s will to be joined to Him; He does not want to destroy Satan alone. We do not fully understand, but we know that God wants to do it this way. He does not want to act alone; He wants man to cooperate with Him. This is the responsibility of the church on earth.

　　In order to do something, God must first put His will within us through the Holy Spirit. He will only accomplish something after we have echoed it in our prayer. God operates through this procedure. He works this way. He wants man’s cooperation; He wants a will that is one with Him and that echoes Him. If God does everything without us, then man does not need to be here, and we do not need to know God’s will. Yet every part of God’s will needs someone to carry it out, and He wants our will to become one with His will. (CWWN, vol. 38, pp. 283-284)

　　According to Genesis 2, God gave man a free will when He created him. God has a will, and man has a will. Whenever man’s will is not one with God’s will, God is limited…. If the earth was filled with spiritless material, God would be without restriction. But one day, God created man. The man He created was not like a piece of stone or wood; he was not a table or a chair which could be placed here or there by God at will. The man that God created had a free will. Man could choose to obey God’s word, and he also could choose to disobey His word. God did not create a man who was obligated to obey Him. He created a man with a free will, one who could obey or disobey His word.

　　God is willing to be limited in time because He wants to gain a harmonious will in the second eternity. He wants man’s free will to be harmonious with His will. This is a glory to God….God does not want the man He created to be like a book which can be shuffled around at will. Even though God wants man to be fully submissive to Him, He also gave man a free will. God’s intention is that man’s free will would choose to obey Him. This is a glory to God!

　　In eternity future the free will of man will be joined to God’s eternal will. That will be the time for God’s eternal will to be fulfilled and for man’s free will to become harmonious with God’s eternal will. Every man has a free will. In eternity future man still has a free will, but it will stand on God’s side. He still has the ability to oppose God, but he will not oppose Him. Hallelujah!…This harmony of will is a glory to God! (CWWN, vol. 22, “The Prayer Ministry of the Church,” pp. 140-141)
