林后四10　　身体上常带着耶稣的治死，使耶稣的生命也显明在我们的身体上。

　　13　　并且照经上所记：“我信，所以我说话”；我们既有这同样信心的灵，也就信，所以也就说话。

　　今天基督徒非常注意哥林多前书的在圣灵里说话，但据我所知，从来没有人好好注意，要凭着信心的灵说话。

　　保罗在林后四章七节说到瓦器里的宝贝，这位基督是神的照耀，已经照进保罗里面。接着他说，耶稣的治死作工在使徒身上，使基督的生命显明在他们里面（10~11）。这时他提起同样信心的灵〔13〕。古时候，作诗的人有信心的灵（诗一一六10）；如今他们这些使徒也有信心的灵。他们信，所以也就说话。…他们说自己的经历。这不仅是一种道理，论到三一神的某个要点，乃是对基督之死、生命和复活的经历（李文集一九八五年第三册，三七九页）。

　　2 Cor. 4:10 Always bearing about in the body the putting to death of Jesus that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

　　13 And having the same spirit of faith according to that which is written, “I believed, therefore I spoke,” we also believe, therefore we also speak.

　　Christians today have paid much attention to the speaking in the Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians. But to my knowledge, no one has ever paid much attention to the speaking by the spirit of faith.

　　In 2 Corinthians 4:7 Paul speaks of the treasure in earthen vessels, the very Christ as the radiance of God who was radiated into his being. Following this, he says that the putting to death of Jesus was working on the apostles and that the life of Christ was manifested in them (vv. 10-11). At this point he mentions the same spirit of faith [v. 13]. In the ancient time the psalmist had the spirit of faith (Psa. 116:10). Now the apostles also had the spirit of faith. They believed, therefore they also spoke… They spoke their experience. It was not just a certain doctrine, a certain point concerning the Triune God, but the experience of the death, life, and resurrection of Christ. (CWWL, 1985, vol. 3, “The Divine Speaking,” p. 301)

　　即使保罗不用舌头说话，他也用笔说话。他写作的时候，有信心的灵；他用信心的灵放胆写作。…这便造成相当的不同。很可惜，在许多聚会中，那些亲爱的圣徒起来分享，都是…可怜的样子。他们说话的时候没有灵，他们说话的时候没有信心。

　　大约一百年前，阿福德（Dean Alford）这样论到信心的灵：“不明确是圣灵，也不仅是人的性质，乃是内住的圣灵渗透整个更新的人，并成为这整个新人的特征。”这里所说人的性质，其实就是人的灵。…圣灵将祂自己与我们人的灵调和。这里的灵不仅是圣灵，乃是圣灵同我们人的灵（罗八16）。

　　文生（Vincent）在他的《新约字研》里，也跟阿福德说同样的事：“信心的灵，不明确是圣灵，也不是人的机能或性质，乃是二者的搀调。”他用“搀调”一辞。圣灵和我们人的灵，二者有一种搀调。这就是我们所说调和的灵。我们有调和的信心之灵。

　　我们里面的信心，乃是神迹奇事。每一个真基督徒里面都有这样的神迹奇事。…我们可以用照相机的作用来说明这一点。照相机外有镜头，内有底片，对面有景色。此外，还需要光。你一按下快门，光就照在底片上。有一次感光，就产生一张照片。这种感光可以形容信心的运行。我们就像一架照相机。新约中所描述的福音就是景色，圣灵是属天的光，我们的灵就是底片。你听了福音的话，一次、两次，甚至四、五次；你里面一旦按下了快门，那话中所描述的就进到你的灵里，没有人能够从你里面把它挪去。这就是信心。

　　现在凭着这信心，你就能够到各处去告诉人说，耶稣是救主。人也许问：“你怎么晓得？”你就是晓得。他们不信，你却信。…你里面一旦按下了快门，所领受的就留到永远。现在无论我们往哪里去，都要告诉人耶稣是救主：“祂是活的，并且活在我里面！”这样你就是凭着信心的灵说话。…为什么我这么壮胆？因为我有信心的灵。我说话不是凭着心思，乃是凭着信心的灵（李文集一九八五年第三册，三七九至三八二页）。

　　Even though Paul was not speaking with his tongue, he was speaking by his pen. When he was writing, he had the spirit of faith. He wrote with boldness, with the spirit of faith… This makes quite a difference. Regrettably, in many of the meetings the dear ones who share speak in [a] poor way. When they speak, there is no spirit. When they speak, there is no faith.

　　About one hundred years ago Henry Alford wrote concerning the spirit of faith: “Not distinctly the Holy Spirit,—but still not merely a human disposition: the indwelling Holy Spirit penetrates and characterizes the whole renewed man.” What is referred to here as the human disposition is actually the human spirit… The Holy Spirit mingles Himself with our human spirit. The spirit here is not only the Holy Spirit but the Holy Spirit with our human spirit (Rom. 8:16).

　　Marvin Vincent in his word study of the New Testament follows Henry Alford, saying the same thing: “Spirit of faith: not distinctly the Holy Spirit, nor, on the other hand, a human faculty or disposition, but blending both.” He uses the word blending. There is a blending between the Holy Spirit and our human spirit. This is what we call the mingled spirit. We have the mingled spirit of faith.

　　Faith is a wonder, a miracle, within us. Every genuine Christian has such a wonder, a miracle, within him… We have illustrated this by the action of a camera. The camera has a lens outside and film within. Opposite the camera there is scenery. Also, light is needed. When you click the shutter, the light shines onto the film. There is an exposure, and a picture is produced. This exposure describes the operation of faith. We are just like a camera. The gospel described in the New Testament is the scenery, the Holy Spirit is the heavenly light, and our spirit is the film. When you hear the speaking of the gospel once, twice, even four or five times, there is a click within you. Whatever is described in the speaking would then be in your spirit. No one could ever remove it from you. That is faith.

　　Now by this faith you could go everywhere to tell people that Jesus is the Savior. One may ask, “How do you know?” You just know. They do not believe it, but you believe… Once this click occurs in you, it remains forever. Now wherever we go, we would tell people that Jesus is the Savior: “He is living, and He lives in me!” In this way you speak by the spirit of faith… Why am I so bold? I have the spirit of faith. I speak, not by my mind but by the spirit of faith. (CWWL, 1985, vol. 3, “The Divine Speaking,” pp. 301-302)
