徒二六19　　亚基帕王啊，我故此没有违背那从天上来的异象。

　　箴二九18　　没有异象，民就放肆；唯遵守律法的，便为有福。

　　我们在主的恢复里必须对神的经纶有清楚的异象。然后我们需要被这异象管治、控制并指引。因着我看见了这异象，并受其指引，历年来我从来没有改变我的腔调。我知道我所看见的是什么，我知道我所教导的是什么，我也知道我供应给主子民的是什么。我们若有神经纶的异象，自然会只有一个拣选、爱好、口味和职事。我们会只在意包罗万有、延展无限的基督，以及真正、正确的召会生活。今天我们在主的恢复里，在神的经纶，神永远的旨意上，必须刚强，不可摇动。因着保罗看见了这异象，并忠于这异象，他就能非常刚强。我们都需要这样刚强并稳固（哥林多前书生命读经，一六七页）。

　　Acts 26:19 Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision.

　　Prov. 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; but happy is he who keeps the law.

　　We in the Lord’s recovery must have a clear vision of God’s economy. Then we need to be governed, controlled, and directed by this vision. Because I have seen this vision and am directed by it, I have never changed my tone throughout the years. I know what I have seen, I know what I am teaching, and I know what I am ministering to the Lord’s people. If we have the vision of God’s economy, we shall automatically have only one choice, preference, taste, and ministry. We shall care only for the all-inclusive and all-extensive Christ and for the genuine and proper church life. Today we in the Lord’s recovery must be strong and unshakable in the vision of God’s economy, God’s eternal will. Because Paul had seen this vision and was faithful to it, he could be very strong. We all need to be strong and steadfast in this way. (Life-study of 1 Corinthians, p. 138)

　　大多数基督徒以为圣经是一本教导人作好、合乎道德、敬虔并属灵的书。…但这只是为着他们自己的益处，一点也没有为着神。…圣经中主要的点乃是关乎神的经纶，但今天在基督教里几乎没有人讲说神的经纶。…因为没有人顾到神的经纶，主已经迟延了将近二千年。

　　神经纶的中心乃是要得着一个身体来彰显基督。至终，这身体要成为基督的新妇，作祂的配偶与祂相配，并要与祂一同降到地上，完成神经纶末了的一步。今天，世界局势已经预备好让祂回来，但主还没有得着祂的配偶。所以，祂还没有路回来；祂仍在等待。

　　神的经纶乃是将基督分赐到祂所拣选的人里面，使他们首先成为基督的身体以彰显祂，然后成为基督的新妇与祂相配，并完成神那神圣分赐的经纶。当然，我很高兴有这么多人到这里来得着帮助，寻求神，寻求基督，在生命上长大，并且更敬虔，更属灵，更得胜，但我对此并不满意。我愿意我们的眼睛都被开启，看见神的经纶。我在这些信息中的心愿和目标，乃是要帮助你们往前，从追求属灵的范围进到另一个范围，看见神的愿望，神的喜悦。

　　按照神永远的安排（或经纶），祂是要得着召会（圣经所说到的正确的召会）。基督教完全是组织，但圣经所启示的召会，该完全是生机的，满了基督作生命，满了终极完成的三一神，就是包罗万有赐生命的灵，以神的生命和性情来构成我们，并使我们与神联合成为一灵。这就是神借着祂的分赐而有的经纶。

　　今天在基督教里，甚至在最属灵的人中间，所教导的不过是甜点，而不是食物。…你需要干粮（来五11~14）。奶是给婴孩，干粮是给成熟的人。…我们举办圣经生命读经的训练，至今已有十七年了，但大部分圣徒仍然停留、逗留、徘徊在属灵、得胜等事的范围里。甚至在同工们中间，也很少人够资格释放一篇关于神的经纶同神圣分赐的信息。我们需要被带到另一个范围，不是所谓属灵的范围，乃是神的经纶，神的分赐的范围。直到我看见这事，我才会满足。我相当高兴，主将这些真理在我们中间释放出来，我也有完全的信心和把握，这一切最终都要实现；但我巴望看到这一切得着完成（撒迦利亚书生命读经，四七八至四八○页）。

　　Most Christians consider the Bible to be a book which teaches them to be good, ethical, godly, and spiritual… But this is only for their own benefit; this is not at all for God… The major point in the Bible concerns God’s economy, yet in Christianity today nearly no one talks about God’s economy… Because hardly anyone cares for God’s economy, the Lord has been delayed for nearly two thousand years.

　　The center of God’s economy is to have a Body to express Christ. Eventually, this Body will be Christ’s bride to match Him as His counterpart and to come down to earth with Him to carry out the final step of God’s economy. Today, the world situation is ready for His coming, but the Lord has not yet gained His counterpart. Therefore, He has no way to come back. He is still waiting.

　　God’s economy is to dispense Christ into His elect that they might become first the Body of Christ to express Him and then the bride of Christ to match Him and fulfill God’s economy in the divine dispensing. Of course, I am happy that so many have come to receive help to seek God, to seek Christ, to grow in life, and to be more godly, more spiritual, and more overcoming, but I am not satisfied with this. I would rather that we all had the eyes to see God’s economy. My intention, my goal, in all these messages is to help you to advance beyond the realm of seeking for spirituality into another realm to see God’s desire, God’s good pleasure.

　　According to His eternal arrangement, or economy, God desires to have the church, a proper church in the biblical sense. Christianity is a totality of organization, but the church revealed in the Bible should be absolutely organic and full of Christ as life, full of the Triune God in His consummation—the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit—to constitute us with God’s life and nature and to join us with God as one spirit. This is God’s economy through His dispensing.

　　Today in Christianity, even among the most spiritual ones, what is taught is not food but sugar… You need solid food (Heb. 5:11-14). Whereas milk is for babes, solid food is for the mature… We have been carrying out the life-study of the Scriptures now for seventeen years, yet most of the saints are still remaining, lingering, wandering, in the realm of being spiritual, victorious, overcoming, and so forth. Very few, even among the co-workers, are qualified to give a message on God’s economy with the divine dispensing. We need to be brought into another realm, not the so-called spiritual realm but the realm of God’s economy, God’s dispensing… I am somewhat happy that the Lord has released all these truths among us, and I have the full faith and assurance that all these things will eventually be realized; yet I long to see their fulfillment. (Life-study of Zechariah, pp. 88-90)
