二 我们若要进入、据有并享受包罗万有的基督这美地的实际，就必须在主的同在里去；主应许摩西：“我的同在必和你同去，我必使你得安息”（出三三14）；神的同在就是祂的道路，是那向祂的百姓指示当行之路的“地图”： |
B If we would enter, possess, and enjoy the all-inclusive Christ as the reality of the good land, we must do so by the presence of the Lord; the Lord promised Moses, “My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest” (Exo. 33:14); God’s presence is His way, the “map” that shows His people the way they should take: |
１ 我们要为着神的建造完全得着并据有基督这包罗万有的地，就必须抓牢这一个原则：神的同在乃是一切问题的准则；我们无论作什么，都必须注意我们有否神的同在；我们若有神的同在，就有一切，但我们若失去神的同在，就失去一切—太一23，提后四22，加六18，诗二七4、8，五一11，林后二10，结四八35。 |
１ In order for us to fully gain and possess Christ as the all-inclusive land for God’s building, we must hold on to this principle: God’s presence is the criterion for every matter; regardless of what we do, we must pay attention to whether or not we have God’s presence; if we have God’s presence, we have everything, but if we lose God’s presence, we lose everything—Matt. 1:23; 2 Tim. 4:22; Gal. 6:18; Psa. 27:4, 8; 51:11; 2 Cor. 2:10; Ezek. 48:35. |
２ 主的同在，主的微笑，是支配的原则；我们必须学习受主同在的保守、掌管、管理并指引，不是祂间接的同在，乃是主直接的、头手的同在；祂宝贵的同在是我们据有包罗万有的基督这流奶与蜜美地之实际的大能—出三8，二五30，申二六9，结二十6。 |
２ The presence of the Lord, the smile of the Lord, is the governing principle; we must learn to be kept, to be ruled, to be governed, and to be guided, not by His secondhand presence but by the direct, firsthand presence of the Lord; His precious presence is the power for us to possess the all-inclusive Christ as the reality of the good land flowing with milk and honey—Exo. 3:8; 25:30; Deut. 26:9; Ezek. 20:6. |
３ “我年轻时，人教导我各种得胜、圣别、并属灵的方法。然而，这些方法没有一样管用。至终，经过六十八年以上的经历，我发现除了主的同在以外，没有一样管用。祂与我们同在，乃是一切”—约书亚记生命读经，五八至五九页。 |
３ “In my youth I was taught various ways to overcome, to be victorious, to be holy, and to be spiritual. However, not any of these ways worked. Eventually, through more than sixty-eight years of experience, I have found out that nothing works but the Lord’s presence. His being with us is everything”—Life-study of Joshua, p. 48. |

我们若是要往前去得着那地，我们必须是在神的同在里去。若是神的同在与我们同去，我们就能进去并享受那地。你记得神如何应许摩西说，“我的同在必和你同去，我必使你得安息”（出三三14）。这意思就是说，祂要用祂的同在领以色列人去得着那地。所以摩西对神说，“你的同在若不和我们同去，就不要把我们从这里领上去”（15）。摩西要求神的同在必须与他同去，否则他就不去。 有一次我们四、五位一同服事主的人出门到某地去，…有一位弟兄那时对我们不太高兴，但他没有选择的余地，只好与我们同行。我们都坐同一列火车，但是我们坐在第一车厢，唯独这一位弟兄自己一人坐在第二车厢。…他与我们一同离开，…一同旅行，也…一同到达，但是他的同在不与我们在一起。 有些为主作工的人对我说，“弟兄，…你不信主祝福了我们么？”我这样回答：“没有疑问，主是帮助了你，也祝福了你，但是让我们在主面前安静一会儿。”过一会，我这样问他：“弟兄，在你最深处的感觉中，你是不是觉得你有主的同在？我知道你曾为主作过一些工，也知道主帮助了你，祝福了你；但是我愿意问你这一个问题，在你全人的最深处，你有没有觉得主是那么亲自地与你同在？你有没有一直觉得祂向你显露笑容，并且祂的微笑进入你的里面？”…到最后，这样的弟兄就说，“我必须告诉你，已经有一段时间我是失去了与主的交通。”然后我就问：“弟兄，…你是受主帮助的管理呢，或是受主同在的管理？你是受祂祝福的管理呢，或是受祂笑容的管理？” 即使我们眼中带着泪水，我们天天还得这样说，“主，除了你微笑的同在，无别能使我满足。除了你荣脸上的微笑，我别的什么都不要。只要我有这一个，我就不管天塌下来，或是地裂开。全世界可以都起来反对我，但是只要你的笑脸在我身上，我就能赞美你，并且一切都可以使我满意。”主说，“我的同在必和你同去。”何等宝贝！主的同在，主的微笑，乃是支配的原则。我们必须惧怕从主有所接受，却失去祂的同在。 …很可能主自己会把什么东西给你，但是那一件东西却将主的同在从你夺去。…我们必须学习只受主同在的保守、掌管、管理并指引。…我们不要祂间接的同在。…你要学习单单受主直接、头手同在的管理。…这不仅是一个条件，一个资格，也是一个能力，使你能进去得着那地。主头手的同在要以力量加强你去得着基督的丰富与万有。哦，神头手的同在有何等的力量，何等的大能！（包罗万有的基督，一三八至一三九、一四一至一四二页。） 参读：包罗万有的基督，第十一章；出埃及记生命读经，第一百七十五至一百七十七篇。 |
If we would go on to possess the land, we must do so by the presence of the Lord. If the presence of the Lord goes with us, we can enter and enjoy the land. You remember how the Lord promised Moses, “My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest” (Exo. 33:14). This means that He would bring the people into the possession of the land by His presence. So Moses said to the Lord, “If Your presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here” (v. 15). Moses demanded that the Lord’s presence must go with them; otherwise, he would not go. One time, four or five of us who were serving the Lord together were going to a certain place….One brother at that time, however, was not happy with us, yet he had no choice but to go. We all traveled on the same train: all but this one brother sat in car number one, and he sat by himself in car number two…. He left with us, he traveled with us, and he arrived with us, but his presence was not with us. Some Christian workers have said to me, “…Do you not believe that the Lord has blessed us?” “Undoubtedly,” I have answered, “the Lord has helped you and blessed you, but let us be silent for a little while before the Lord.” After a while I have asked, “Brother, do you feel in your deepest sense that you have the presence of the Lord with you? I know that you have done something for the Lord; I know that the Lord has helped you and blessed you. But I wish to know, in the innermost part of your being, do you feel that the Lord is so present with you? Do you always sense His face smiling upon you, and has the very smile of the Lord entered into you?”…Eventually, such brothers have said, “I must tell you, for some time I have lost my fellowship with the Lord.” Then I asked, “Brother, …are you governed by the help of the Lord or by His presence? Are you governed by His blessing or by His smile?” Although it may be with tears in our eyes, we must say day by day, “Lord, nothing but Your smiling presence will satisfy me. I do not want anything but the smile of Your glorious face. As long as I have this, I care not whether the heaven comes down or the earth falls apart. The whole world may rise against me, but as long as I have Your smile upon me, I can praise You, and everything is well.” The Lord said, “My presence shall go with you.” What a treasure! The presence, the smile, of the Lord is the governing principle. We must be fearful of receiving anything from the Lord yet losing His presence…. The Lord Himself may very well give you something, and yet that very thing will rob you of His presence….We must learn to be kept, to be ruled, to be governed, to be guided simply by the presence of the Lord….We do not want His presence secondhand….Try to be governed by the direct, firsthand presence of the Lord. This is not only a requirement and a qualification but also a power for you to go on to possess the land. The firsthand presence of the Lord will strengthen you with might to obtain the fullness, the all-inclusiveness of Christ. What a strength, what a power, is in the direct presence of the Lord!
