可十一23~24　　我实在告诉你们，无论谁对这座山说，你得挪开，投在海里，他若心里不疑惑，只信他所说的成了，就必给他成了。所以我告诉你们，凡你们祷告祈求的，无论是什么，只要信已经得着了，就必得着。

　　权柄的祷告…就是马可十一章里的祷告。…二十四节的话…是与二十三节连起来的…，可见二十三节也是说到祷告的事。希奇的就是在这里不像普通的祷告，这里不是对神说，“神啊，求你把这座山挪开此地投在海里。”…主不是叫我们对神说，乃是叫我们面向山，…直接对山说，“你得挪开，投在海里。”主恐怕我们以为这不是祷告，所以在二十四节就来解释说，这也是祷告。…这就是权柄的祷告。权柄的祷告，不是求神作什么，乃是用神的权柄，把神的权柄拿来直接对付难处，直接对付那该除去的事。这种祷告，是每一个得胜者所必须学习的。每一个得胜者必须学会如何直接对山说话（倪柝声文集第二辑第二册，二三○页）。

　　Mark 11:23-24 Truly I say to you that whoever says to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says happens, he will have it. For this reason I say to you, All things that you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and you will have them.

　　Praying with authority… is praying the prayer of Mark 11… Verse 24 is joined to verse 23. Verse 24 mentions prayer. This proves that verse 23 must also concern prayer. The strange thing is that verse 23 does not sound like an ordinary prayer. The Lord did not tell us to pray, “God, please move the mountain and cast it into the sea.”… The Lord… did not tell us to speak to God; He told us to turn to the mountain and to speak to the mountain… directly…, telling it to be cast into the sea. Since the Lord was afraid that we would not consider this to be a prayer, He pointed out in the following verse that it is a prayer… This is a prayer with authority. A prayer with authority does not ask God to do something. Rather, it exercises God’s authority and applies this authority to deal with problems and things that ought to be removed. Every overcomer has to learn to pray this kind of prayer. Every overcomer has to learn to speak to the mountain. (CWWN, vol. 22, “The Prayer Ministry of the Church,” pp. 195-196)

　　我们有许多软弱的地方，像脾气、污秽的思想，或者身体的病痛等等，如果去对神说，好像不容易见效，但你如果把神的权柄拿来，对山说话，它立刻就跑掉了。…山，就是那些拦阻你的，叫你的道路走不通的。…许多人当他在他的生命中、工作中遇见山的时候，都是去祷告神，求神挪开这座山。但神要对你说，你自己去对山说吧，只要你去吩咐山说，“你得挪开，投在海里”，就够了。…权柄的祷告是你要对那拦阻你的说，“离开我！”你要对你的脾气说，“离开我！”你要对你的疾病说，“离开我！我要靠着主复活的生命仍然起来。”不是对神说，是直接对山说，“你得挪开，投在海里。”这就是权柄的祷告。

　　如果我们在神面前清楚知道了神的旨意是什么，一点不疑惑，大胆地对山说，“你得挪开，投在海里，”事情必定成就。在这里神派定我们作一个发命令的人，我们命令神所已经命令的事，我们吩咐神所已经吩咐的事，这就是权柄的祷告。权柄的祷告不是直接向神求，乃是直接用神的权柄来对付难处。

　　权柄的祷告是与作得胜者有关系的。基督徒如果不知道这个，就不能作得胜者。我们要记得，坐在宝座上的是神，是我们的主耶稣，服在宝座下面的是仇敌。唯有祷告能转动神的能力。神的能力没有一个能够转动它，只有祷告。所以祷告是顶需要的。如果不祷告的话，就不能好好地作得胜者。知道什么是权柄的祷告，才知道什么是祷告。得胜者最要紧的工作，就是把宝座上的权柄带到地上来。今天只有一个宝座—神的宝座—是掌权的，是远超过一切的。要有分于那权柄，就必须祷告；所以祷告是十分需要的。凡能动宝座的，就必定能动一切。我们必须看见基督升天是远超过一切的，我们必须看见万有都服在祂的脚下，因此我们可以用这宝座的权柄来管理一切，因此我们每一个都必须学会这权柄的祷告（倪柝声文集第二辑第二册，二三○至二三三页）。

　　We have many weaknesses, such as temper, evil thoughts, or physical illnesses. If we plead with God concerning these problems, it seems that there is not much result. However, if we apply God’s authority to the situation and speak to the mountain, these problems will go away… A mountain is something that blocks the way and stops us from going on… When many people encounter a mountain in their life or in their work, they pray to God to remove the mountain. But God tells us to speak to the mountain ourselves. All we have to do is issue a word of command to the mountain: “Be taken up and cast into the sea.”… A prayer with authority is one in which we tell the things that are frustrating us to go away. We can say to our temper, “Go away.” We can say to sickness, “Go away. I will rise up by the resurrection life of the Lord.” This word is not spoken to God but directly to the mountain. “Be taken up and cast into the sea.” This is a prayer with authority.

　　If we have no doubts and are clear about God’s will, we can speak boldly to the mountain, “Be taken up and cast into the sea,” and the thing will be done. God has commissioned us to be those who issue the command. We command what God has commanded, and we give orders to what God has given orders to. This is a prayer with authority. A prayer with authority is not asking God directly. Rather, it is dealing with problems by directly applying God’s authority.

　　Prayer with authority has much to do with the overcomers. If a Christian does not know this, he cannot be an overcomer. We have to remember that God and the Lord Jesus are on the throne, while the enemy is under the throne. Only prayer can activate the power of God. Nothing can activate God’s power except prayer. This is why prayer is indispensable. If one does not pray, he cannot be an overcomer. Only after one knows to pray with authority will he know what prayer is. The most important work of the overcomers is to bring the authority of the throne to earth. Today there is a throne, the throne of God. This throne is ruling, and it is far above everything. In order to have a share in this authority, one must pray. Hence, prayer is very necessary. Those who can move the throne can move everything. We must see that Christ’s ascension has made Him far above all things, and we must see that all things are under His feet. For this reason, we can rule over all things with the authority of the throne. All of us have to learn to pray with authority. (CWWN, vol. 22, “The Prayer Ministry of the Church,” pp. 196-198)
