弗四12　 为要成全圣徒，目的是……为着建造基督的身体。

　　启五6　 我又看见……有羔羊站立，像是刚被杀过的，有……七眼，就是神的七灵，奉差遣往全地去的。

　　二一2 我又看见圣城新耶路撒冷由神那里从天而降，预备好了，就如新妇妆饰整齐，等候丈夫。

　　我盼望所有的同工都看见基督的三个时期，三个段落：成肉体—基督在肉体里的时期，总括—基督成为赐生命之灵的时期，以及加强—基督成为七倍加强、赐生命之灵的时期。这三个时期乃是基督历史的三个段落。……所以我们强调这三个辞—成肉体（incarnation）、总括（inclusion）以及加强（intensification），并着重以下的事实：“成肉体”产生蒙救赎的人；“总括”产生众召会；“加强”产生得胜者，以建造基督的身体，终极完成于新耶路撒冷，作神经纶独一的目标。这就是新约里的启示（基督的三个时期—成肉体、总括与加强，一八页）。

　　Eph. 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints…unto the building up of the Body of Christ.

　　Rev. 5:6 And I saw…a Lamb standing as having just been slain, having…seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

　　21:2 And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

　　I hope that all the co-workers will see the three stages, the three sections, of Christ: incarnation—the stage of Christ in the flesh; inclusion—the stage of Christ as the life-giving Spirit; and intensification—the stage of Christ as the sevenfold intensified life-giving Spirit. These three stages are the three sections of Christ’s history…. Therefore, we emphasize these three words—incarnation, inclusion, and intensification—and stress the facts that incarnation produces redeemed people, that inclusion produces the churches, and that intensification produces the overcomers to build up the Body, which consummates in the New Jerusalem as the unique goal of God’s economy. This is the revelation in the New Testament. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 4, “Incarnation, Inclusion, and Intensification,” p. 196)

　　第一个时期—成肉体的时期—是在物质的范围里，为着完成法理的救赎，那是物质的事。第二个时期—总括的时期—乃是神圣并奥秘的。在第三个时期—加强的时期—里，将会有一种在神圣奥秘之范围里的成熟，基督的身体要被建造起来，以完成新耶路撒冷。

　　在祂的第二个时期，就是祂成了复合、包罗万有、赐生命之灵的时期，基督产生了众召会，但身体没有多少产生出来，也没有多少真实并实际的建造。……为要使身体得以完全并完整的产生，就需要基督的第三个时期，就是加强的时期；在此一时期，基督成了七倍加强的灵。

　　可以说，我在中国大陆所作的工，主要的是产生蒙救赎的人；只有少部分工作是为着产生众召会。这指明我在中国大陆的工作，主要的是第一时期里的工作。然而，我来到台湾，就开始作总括时期里的工作，许多召会就兴起来了。如今我有负担执行加强时期里的工作。所以我向主祷告说，“主，我在竭力，要尽我所能地作得胜者，好建造你的身体，以完成新耶路撒冷。”

　　我们该作包括这三个段落的工。我担心许多同工仍然只在第一段落，成肉体的段落里作工。如果这是你的光景，你就需要改进并往前。你已过所学习并所作的并不充分。当然，你不该忽视第一时期的东西，因为那些乃是根基。如今你需要开始在这根基上建造，至终要有这建造的完成。根基乃是成肉体时期里的工作；建造是在总括时期里的工作；建造的完成是在加强时期里的工作。

　　我要请求你们思想“加强”这件事，并迫切地祷告，说，“主，……我不要留在成肉体的工作里，甚至不要留在总括的工作里。我要从总括往前到加强。主，你已经七倍加强了，我祷告我也要得着七倍加强，以胜过召会的堕落，使你的身体得以建造起来，以完成新耶路撒冷。”（基督的三个时期—成肉体、总括与加强，一七、一六、一五、一八至一九页）

　　参读：异象的高峰与基督身体的实际，第二至四篇。

　　The first stage—incarnation—is in the physical realm for the accomplishment of judicial redemption, which is a physical matter. The second stage—inclusion—is divine and mystical. In the third stage—intensification—there will be a maturing and a ripening in the divine and mystical realm, and the Body will be built up to consummate the New Jerusalem.

　　In His second stage, the stage of His being the compound, all-inclusive, life-giving Spirit, Christ has produced the churches, but not much of the Body was produced and built up in an actual and practical way. In order for the Body to be produced in a full and complete way, there is the need of the third stage of Christ, the stage of intensification in which Christ becomes the sevenfold intensified Spirit.

　　I can say that the work which I did in mainland China was mainly to produce redeemed people. Only a small part of my work there was for the producing of churches. This indicates that my work in China was mainly a work in the first stage. However, when I came to Taiwan, I began to do a work in the stage of inclusion, and many churches were raised up. Now I am burdened to carry out a work in the stage of intensification. Therefore, I pray to the Lord, saying, “Lord, I am endeavoring to do my best to be an overcomer for the building up of Your Body to consummate the New Jerusalem.”

　　We should be doing a work of all three sections. I am concerned that many of the co-workers are still working only in the first section, the section of incarnation. If this is your situation, you need to improve and to advance. What you have learned and what you have done in the past are not adequate. Of course, you should not discard the things of the first stage, for those things are the foundation. Now you need to begin building on this foundation and eventually have the completion of the building. The foundation is the work in the stage of incarnation; the building up is the work in the stage of inclusion; and the completion of the building is the work in the stage of intensification. I would urge you to consider this matter of intensification and to pray desperately, saying, “Lord, …I do not want to remain in the work of incarnation nor even in the work of inclusion. I want to advance from inclusion to intensification. Lord, You have been intensified sevenfold, and I pray that I also will be intensified sevenfold to overcome the degradation of the church that the Body may be built up to consummate the New Jerusalem.” (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 4, “Incarnation, Inclusion, and Intensification,” pp. 195, 194, 196-197)
