神在信仰里的经纶
« 第五周 »
凭着信心的灵说话
Speaking by the Spirit of Faith
« 周 纲目 »
1 我们是一班说话的人,不该闭口无言,因为我们所敬拜的神乃是说话的神—26节。
1 As speaking people, we should not be dumb or silent, for the God whom we worship is the speaking God—v. 26.
2 基督徒的聚会应该在说话上满了彼此互相—弗五19。
2 Christian meetings should be full of mutuality in speaking—Eph. 5:19.
五 我们这些基督身体的肢体,需要在灵里被充满—18节:
E As members of the Body of Christ, we need to be filled in spirit—v. 18:
1 那充满我们的,就要从我们里面满溢出来;这满溢就是“用诗章、颂辞、灵歌,彼此对说,从心中向主歌唱、颂咏”—19节。
1 That with which we are filled will overflow from within us; this overflow is “speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and psalming with your heart to the Lord”—v. 19.
2 我们若是在灵里被充满,成为神一切的丰满,就会自然而然地彼此对说基督;因此,说话乃是满溢的路。
2 If we are filled in spirit unto all the fullness of God, we will spontaneously speak to one another concerning Christ; therefore, speaking is the way to overflow.
六 林前十二章十三节启示,基督已经把我们在那灵里浸到身体里,现在我们都得以喝这一位灵:
F First Corinthians 12:13 reveals that Christ has baptized us in the Spirit into the Body, and now we all are drinking of the Spirit:
1 我们在那灵里面,那灵也在我们里面—罗八4、6、10~11、14、16。
1 We are in the Spirit, and the Spirit is in us—Rom. 8:4, 6, 10-11, 14, 16.
2 这使我们完全够资格,并且能在聚会中尽功用,为主说话,甚至把主说出来—林前十二13,十四26、31。
2 This makes us fully qualified and able to function in the meetings by speaking for the Lord and even by speaking Him forth—1 Cor. 12:13; 14:26, 31.

  林前十二13  …我们…都已经在一位灵里受浸,成了一个身体,且都得以喝一位灵。

  弗五18~19  不要醉酒,醉酒使人放荡,乃要在灵里被充满,用诗章、颂辞、灵歌,彼此对说,从心中向主歌唱、颂咏。

  〔林前十二章十三节〕启示,基督已经把我们在那灵里浸到身体里,现在我们都得以喝这一位灵。一面,基督已经把我们放到这一位灵里;另一面,我们都得以喝这一位灵。因此,我们在那灵里面,那灵也在我们里面。结果,我们就被那灵泡透并浸透。这使我们完全够资格,并且能在聚会中尽功用,为主说话,甚至把主说出来(李文集一九八三年第二册,六○二页)。
  1 Cor. 12:13 …In one Spirit we were all baptized into one Body…and were all given to drink one Spirit.

  Eph. 5:18-19 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be filled in spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and psalming with your heart to the Lord.

  First Corinthians 12:13 reveals that Christ has baptized us in the Spirit into the Body, and now we all are drinking the one Spirit. On the one hand, Christ has put us into the Spirit. On the other hand, we are drinking this Spirit. Therefore, we are in the Spirit, and the Spirit is in us. The result is that we are soaked and saturated with this Spirit. This makes us fully qualified and able to function in the meetings by speaking for the Lord and even by speaking Him forth. (CWWL, 1983, vol. 2, “The Divine Dispensing of the Divine Trinity,” p. 449)
信息选读  
  保罗在以弗所五章十八节吩咐我们说,“要在灵里被充满。”我们这些基督身体的肢体,需要在我们的灵里被充满,成为神一切的丰满。我们若在灵里被充满,那充满我们的,就要从我们里面满溢出来。…我们乃是因彼此对说〔19〕而满溢。我们若是在灵里被充满,成为神一切的丰满,就会自然而然地彼此对说基督。

  基督徒必须是一班说话的人。我们不该闭口无言,因为我们所敬拜的神乃是说话的神。相反的,偶像不会说话;它们是哑巴。保罗在林前十二章二节提到“不能出声的偶像”。偶像不会说话,所以那些拜偶像的也是哑巴;哑巴神需要哑巴的敬拜者。…但我们的神不是哑巴,祂乃是说话的神;所以那些敬拜祂的也必须说话。然而,许多参加所谓基督教崇拜的人不说话,反而以哑巴的方式敬拜主。我们在召会的聚会中光景如何?我们是安静地,还是洋溢地说出我们日常生活中所经历的基督?在聚会中我们应该赞美主,并且述说在我们经历里祂之于我们的一切。

  我们的神既然是说话的神,我们这些敬拜祂的人也就必须说话。有时,我们甚至应当向主大声欢呼,如诗篇一百篇一节所吩咐的。

  当我们彼此说到对基督的经历时,我们不该等候某种正式的开场,才开始聚会。这样作就是留在传统基督教的影响之下。如果我们从传统中得着释放,当我们在召会聚会中来在一起时,就会自然而然地说话。有的人甚至在赴会途中就开始讲说。聚会必须满了对基督丰富的讲说。

  以弗所五章十九节也提到,向主“歌唱、颂咏”。这样的歌唱、颂咏不仅是在灵里被充满的满溢,也是在灵里被充满的路。每当我们在灵里被充满,成为神一切的丰满时,我们所作的头一件事就是说话。然后我们会从心中向主歌唱、颂咏。…属灵的路就是为主说话,并且说到主。我们越说,就越在灵里被充满。然而,我们若保持安静,就会发现我们无法在灵里被充满。

  我们越多为主说话,我们里面的人就越被祂充满。我们被人绊倒,常常是因为我们的魂是空的,我们没有正确地被充满。但是当我们借着述说主而被充满时,我们这个人就要正确地被占有,没有空间让任何消极的事物进来霸占我们(以弗所书生命读经,八四七至八四九、八五二至八五三页)。

  In Ephesians 5:18 Paul charges us to “be filled in spirit.” As members of the Body of Christ, we need to be filled in our spirit unto all the fullness of God. If we are filled in spirit, that with which we are filled will overflow from within us. We overflow by speaking to one another [v. 19]. If we are filled in spirit unto all the fullness of God, we shall spontaneously speak to one another concerning Christ.

  Christians must be a speaking people. We should not be dumb, or silent, for the God we worship is the speaking God. Idols, on the contrary, do not speak; they are dumb. In 1 Corinthians 12:2 Paul mentions “dumb idols.” Because idols cannot speak, those who worship idols are also dumb. A dumb god needs dumb worshippers… But our God is not dumb; He is the speaking God. Therefore, those who worship Him must also speak. However, many who attend the so-called services in Christianity do not speak. Instead, they worship the Lord in a dumb way. What is our situation in the meetings of the church? Are we silent, or are we bubbling over with words about the Christ we have experienced in our daily life? In the meetings we should praise the Lord and speak of what He is to us in our experience.

  Since our God is a speaking God, we as His worshippers must also speak. At times, we should even make a joyful noise to the Lord, as we are charged to do in Psalm 100:1.

  As we speak to one another of our experiences of Christ, we should not wait for some kind of formal beginning of the meetings. To do this is to remain under the influence of traditional Christianity. If we have been set free from tradition, we shall speak spontaneously as we come together in the meetings of the church. Some may even begin to speak on the way to the meeting. The meetings need to be filled with speaking concerning the riches of Christ.

  Ephesians 5:19 also refers to “singing and psalming” to the Lord. Such singing and psalming are not only the overflow of being filled in spirit, but also the way to be filled in spirit. Whenever we are filled in our spirit unto all the fullness of God, the first thing we shall do is speak. Then we shall sing and psalm with our heart to the Lord. The way to be spiritual is to speak for the Lord and concerning the Lord. The more we speak, the more we shall be filled in our spirit . However, if we remain silent, we shall find that we cannot be filled in spirit.

  The more we speak for the Lord, the more our inward being is filled with Him. Often the reason we are offended by others is that our soul is empty. We are not occupied in a proper way. But when we are filled through speaking of the Lord, our being will be properly occupied, and there will be no room for anything negative to come in to usurp us. (Life-study of Ephesians, pp. 703-705, 707-708)
