士六25~26　　当那夜，耶和华对基甸说，你…拆毁你父亲为巴力所筑的坛，砍下坛旁的木像，在这保障顶上整整齐齐地为耶和华你的神筑一座坛…。

　　34　　耶和华的灵披戴在基甸身上，他就吹角；亚比以谢族都应召跟随他。

　　（基甸成功的第三因素是）他拆毁巴力的坛，砍下木像（士六25~28）；这摸着神的心。以色列堕落时，神恨恶偶像到极点。神这真丈夫认为，所有的偶像都是与祂妻子以色列行淫的男人。第四，基甸因着拆毁父亲为巴力所筑的坛，砍下木像，就牺牲了他与父亲的关系，以及他在社会的享受。因着他所作的，俄弗拉城的人就与他争辩，甚至要杀他（28~30）。基甸要为神作这样的事，就需要牺牲他自己的权益，而他的牺牲是他成功的有力因素（士师记生命读经，二九至三○页）。

　　Judg. 6:25-26 And that night Jehovah said to him,…Tear down the altar of Baal that belongs to your father, and cut down the Asherah that is beside it. And build an altar to Jehovah your God upon the top of this stronghold in the ordered manner…

　　34 And the Spirit of Jehovah clothed Gideon; and he blew the trumpet, and the Abiezrites were called up behind him.

　　[The third factor of Gideon’s success was that] he tore down the altar of Baal and cut down the Asherah (Judg. 6:25-28). This touched God’s heart. In the degradation of Israel, God hated the idols to the uttermost. God as the genuine Husband regarded all the idols as men with whom His wife Israel had committed harlotry. Fourth, by tearing down the altar of Baal and cutting down the Asherah that belonged to his father, Gideon sacrificed his relationship with his father and his enjoyment of society. Because of what he had done, the men of the city of Ophrah contended with him and even wanted to kill him (vv. 28-30). For Gideon to do such a thing for God required that he sacrifice his own interests, and his sacrifice was a strong factor of his success. (Life-study of Judges, p. 23)

　　由于这四个因素，基甸得了赏赐：经纶的灵降在他身上（士六34）。因此，他成为一个大能的人，只带着三百人，就击败两个首领和两个王（七25，八10~12）。在基甸身上有一幅图画，给我们看见一个与神联结的人，就是神人，如何实行神的话并完成神的经纶（圣经恢复本，士六27注1）。

　　心里已经奉献，外面还得拆偶像作见证。个人当注意，家庭也当注意，和我来往的人也当注意。一切能与神同等的，都当拆掉。看见神的人，才知道什么是偶像。看见神的使者—主—的人，才知道在主以外的东西都是偶像。看见了神的使者，才知道木头并不是神。

　　（拆掉偶像并作见证之后，）圣灵就临到他身上。圣灵的充满，不是祷告求能力的结局，乃是人站在合宜的情形中，圣灵就降到他身上（倪柝声文集第一辑第十一册，一三八页）。

　　实行主当前行动最新的路，…（其中一点乃是）不被文化、宗教或教育充满，而被那灵，就是被经过过程之三一神的终极完成所充满。为着生活和工作，我们需要里里外外、在素质和经纶上被这样一位灵所充满并充溢。…我们应当记住我们被充满不是一次而永远的。基督所成就的是一次而永远的，但我们所必须经历的不是这样。我们一生当中的每时刻、每天、每晨、每晚、整天从早到晚，都必须经历被这奇妙、包罗万有、经过过程、终极完成的灵所充满。每天早晨我们必须祷告的第一件事是：“主，新鲜地充满我。主，充满我。以你自己这终极完成的灵充满我。我喜欢里里外外被你充满并充溢。我要被你包裹并与你调和。”

　　我们传福音并教导真理，乃是借着深深进入主的话。我们深深进入“金块”，使我们能得装备以传讲并教导。我们里面所充满的就是我们所发表的。…我们有新约圣经恢复本、生命读经、新约总论，以及…“真理课程”。…我们需要用这些著作中所包含的一切真理，将我们浸透、注入、充满并泡透。这样每当你说话，你都会说真理（李文集一九八五年第五册，五八九至五九○、五九二页）。

　　As a result of these four factors, Gideon received a reward: the economical Spirit came upon him (Judg. 6:34). Hence, he became powerful and with only three hundred men defeated two princes and two kings (7:25; 8:10-12). With Gideon we have a picture of a man who lived in union with God, a God-man, to fulfill God’s word and to carry out God’s economy. (Judg. 6:27, footnote 1)

　　After one has consecrated himself in his heart, he still needs to tear down the idols as an outward testimony. We need to be aware of ourselves, our family, and those with whom we have contact. Anything that occupies equal standing with God should be torn down. Only those who have seen God know what an idol is. Only those who have seen the Angel of God, who is the Lord, know that anything besides the Lord is an idol. Only after one has seen the Angel of God will he realize that the wooden image is not God.

　　After having passed through these four steps, the Holy Spirit came upon Gideon. The filling of the Holy Spirit does not come as a result of prayer for power. When a man stands in the proper condition, the Holy Spirit will come upon him. (CWWN, vol. 11, p. 772)

　　[One] point of the up-to-date way to practice the Lord’s present move is to be filled…, not with culture, religion, or education but with the Spirit, who is the ultimate consummation of the processed Triune God. We need to be filled with such a Spirit inwardly and outwardly, essentially and economically, for life and for work. We should remember that we are not filled once for all. What Christ has accomplished is once for all, but what we have to experience is not. Time after time, day after day, morning after morning, evening after evening, all day long, we have to experience being filled with this wonderful, all-inclusive, processed, consummated Spirit for our entire lives. Every day in the morning the first thing we have to pray is, “Lord, fill me afresh. Fill me, Lord. Fill me with Yourself as the consummated Spirit. I like to have You filling me up within and without. I want to be wrapped up and mingled with You.”

　　We preach the gospel and teach the truths by diving into the Word. By diving into “the gold bar” we will be enabled and equipped to preach and to teach. Whatever we are filled with inwardly is what we will utter….We have the Recovery Version of the New Testament, the Life-studies, The Conclusion of the New Testament, and the Truth Lessons….We need to get ourselves saturated, infused, filled, and soaked with all the truths contained in these writings. Then whenever we speak, we will speak the truth. (CWWL, 1985, vol. 5, “The Way to Practice the Lord’s Present Move,” pp. 484-486)
