徒一8　　但圣灵降临在你们身上，你们就必得着能力，并要在耶路撒冷、犹太全地、撒玛利亚，直到地极，作我的见证人。

　　提后四2　　务要传道；无论得时不得时，都要预备好，用全般的恒忍和教训，叫人知罪自责，谴责人，劝勉人。

　　所有的基督徒都成了基督的见证人。我们这些见证人必须是说话的人，…为基督说话，把基督的事告诉别人。…我们必须是说话的人，为着我们所见证的那位，清楚、充分、明确地说话。我盼望我们都出去说话。例如，我们能够向亲戚说一些事。我们能够告诉他们基督的受死，基督的复活，基督的身体，以及地方召会。…我们必须回到圣经，去挖掘神圣丰富的宝藏，这样我们就会有许多可说的（李文集一九八五年第三册，三七一页）。

　　Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

　　2 Tim. 4:2 Proclaim the word; be ready in season and out of season; convict, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and teaching.

　　All Christians have been made the witnesses of Christ. As witnesses, we must be persons…speaking for Christ, telling something of Christ to others… We must be speakers, those speaking clearly, adequately, and definitely for the One we witness. I hope that we all would go out to speak. For example, we can speak something to our relatives. We can tell them something concerning Christ’s death, something concerning Christ’s resurrection, and something concerning the Body of Christ and the local church… We must come back to the Bible and mine the store of the divine riches. Then we will have so much to speak. (CWWL, 1985, vol. 3, “The Divine Speaking,” p. 295)

　　在提后四章二节，保罗嘱咐提摩太：“务要传道；无论得时不得时，都要预备好。”我研读这一节的时候问自己，保罗嘱咐提摩太传的是什么道？…四章一节的确是接着保罗在三章末了的思想。保罗在三章末了三节说，“并且知道你是从小明白圣经；这圣经能使你借着相信基督耶稣，有得救的智慧。圣经都是神的呼出，对于教训、督责、改正、在义上的教导，都是有益的，叫属神的人得以完备，为着各样的善工，装备齐全。”（15~17）我们从这段经文能晓得，保罗嘱咐提摩太传讲的话，就是提摩太从小明白的圣经。我们都必须进入主的话，进入圣经。使徒保罗对提摩太的嘱咐，乃是基于提摩太对圣经的认识。…我们传道，必须传讲从神的话所学习的。这就是早期信徒在行传五章四十二节所作的，他们挨家挨户聚会，“不住地施教，传耶稣是基督为福音。”他们在家中聚会里，教导并传讲所听见的基督。

　　保罗嘱咐提摩太：“务要传道；无论得时不得时，都要预备好。”许多时候我们说，…现在不得时；但那正是我们说话的时候。…还在求学的青年人，有顶多的人环绕他们。每一所学校都是一个“大鱼塘”，里面满了“鱼”。这是神所安排的环境，叫我们向别人说。作学生的总喜欢听同学，过于听老师或父母。…我们必须成为得人的渔夫，把人带到基督这里，并且带到家中聚会里。为此，我不信靠人的安排，我信靠青年圣徒的活动、行事、工作，尽力、竭力去接触同学。如果我们这么作，在很短的时间里，许多人就会受浸加给召会。

　　我们…必须在圣灵里实行这样的说话。…在聚会中站起来说话，要这样说，“弟兄姊妹，让我告诉你们，我不再软弱了！我在那加我能力者的里面得了加力，所以我凡事都能作。从前我自己无法顺服丈夫，现在我很容易顺服。弟兄们，我是顶好的妻子，阿利路亚！”这是最好的说话。在每一个地方，每逢召会来在一起有祷告聚会，有一些圣徒已经学会作“专门”祷告的祭司。…照样，有些圣徒在信息聚会末了，成了作见证的“专家”。…我们都必须学习作“专门”说话的人，在圣灵里说话（李文集一九八五年第三册，三六三至三六四、三六六至三六七页）。

　　In 2 Timothy 4:2 Paul charges Timothy to “proclaim the word; be ready in season and out of season.” When I was studying this verse, I checked with myself as to what word Paul charged Timothy to proclaim… Second Timothy 4:1 is surely a continuation of Paul’s thought at the end of chapter 3. In the last three verses of chapter 3 Paul says, “From a babe you have known the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through the faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work” (vv. 15-17). From these verses we can realize that the word Paul charged Timothy to proclaim was the word in the sacred writings of the Scriptures that Timothy had known from a babe. We all have to get into the Word, into the Scriptures. The charge of the apostle Paul to Timothy was based upon Timothy’s knowledge of the Bible… We must proclaim the word that we have learned from the Word of God. This is what the early believers did in Acts 5:42 when they met from house to house “teaching and announcing the gospel of Jesus as the Christ.” In the home meetings they taught and announced what they had learned concerning Christ.

　　Paul charged Timothy to be ready “in season and out of season” to proclaim the word. Many times we say… that it is out of season. That is the right time for us to speak… The young ones who are still in school have the most people around them. Every school is a big fishing pond full of fish. This is an environment arranged by God for speaking to others. Students always enjoy listening to their classmates much more than to their teachers or parents… We have to be made the fishers of men, bringing people to Christ and to the home meetings. For this, I do not trust in any human arrangement but in the young saints’ acting, behaving, working, endeavoring, and struggling to contact their fellow students. If we would do this, within a short time many would be baptized and added to the churches.

　　We need to practice speaking… in the Holy Spirit… When you stand up in the meeting to speak, stand up in this way: “Brothers and sisters, let me tell you, I am no longer weak! I am empowered in the One who empowers me, so I can do everything. Formerly, I could not submit myself to my husband. Now it’s easy for me to do it. I am the top wife. Hallelujah, brothers.” This is the best speaking. In every locality some saints have learned to be [in a positive sense] “professional” priests praying whenever the church comes together for the prayer meeting… In the same way, some saints have become “professional” at giving a testimony at the end of the message meetings… We all have to learn to be the “professional” speakers speaking in the Holy Spirit. (CWWL, 1985, vol. 3, “The Divine Speaking,” pp. 289-291)
