结三1~4 ……人子啊，要吃你所得的；要吃这书卷，然后去……讲说。于是我开口，祂就使我吃那书卷。……我就吃了，口中觉得其甜如蜜。祂对我说，人子啊，你往以色列家那里去，对他们讲说我的话。

　　我们需要借着呼求主名吃耶稣。但我们吃了以后，也需要好的消化。……我们吃基督，也需要在属灵上正确的消化祂。你若有正确的消化，你所吃的食物，就会进入你身体的每一部分。……消化不良，意思就是食物不能通行。

　　有些亲爱的圣徒，起初也许喜欢呼求主并祷读主话。但一段时间以后，他们对这事失去胃口和爱好。这是因为他们将主耶稣接受进来以后，他们里面有些事情发生。……主耶稣没有路可通过。我们呼求主耶稣并祷读祂的话以后，必须说，“主，怜悯我。使我全人同我里面所有的部分，一直向你敞开。”（李文集一九七二年第一册，二六六页）

　　Ezek. 3:1-4 …Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak… So I opened my mouth, and He gave me that scroll to eat… And I ate it, and it was like honey in my mouth in its sweetness. Then He said to me, Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My words to them.

　　We need to eat Jesus by calling on the name of the Lord. But after we eat, we also need a good digestion…When we eat Christ, we also need to spiritually digest Him in a proper way. If you have a proper digestion, the food you eat can get into every part of your physical being…Indigestion means that there is no thoroughfare for the food.

　　Some dear saints may enjoy calling on the Lord and pray-reading the Word at first. But after a certain time, they lose their taste and appetite for this. This is because after taking in the Lord Jesus, something happened within them…There was no thoroughfare for the Lord Jesus to get through. After calling on the Lord Jesus and pray-reading His Word, we have to say, “Lord, be merciful to me. Keep my whole being with all my inward parts open to You.” (CWWL, 1972, vol. 1, “The Living and Practical Way to Enjoy Christ,” p. 205)

　　你呼喊“主耶稣”，祂就进入你里面，并将你充满。你呼喊“主耶稣”的时候，这位实际的、活的耶稣就要摸着你天然的人。但你们许多人会说，“不，主，不要摸我这里。留在你所在的地方；你是我的客人，你必须留在客厅里。不要进入我私人的卧室；那是为着我的，不是为着你的。”这就是消化不良。主这属灵的食物无法在你里面通过。食物没有通畅的管道进入你内里的部分，所以你消化不良。

　　一位青年弟兄呼求主以后，他里面也许会有某种感觉，他需要对付他的发型。他若对这感觉反应迟慢，这就表示他不许主耶稣通过。因此，你必须儆醒。你呼求主耶稣以后，你里面若有任何知觉，你里面若有任何感觉，那意思就是主耶稣在运行，就是你里面的消化在进行。你必须顺着这内里的感觉而行。你若顺着这感觉而行，就会喜乐，并对基督有更好、更大、更深、更高的胃口。……你若与内里的感觉相争，就会导致消化不良。然后你就不会这么渴望祷读主话，呼求主名对你也不会这么甘甜。

　　但你回应并顺着内里的感觉而行，你对主耶稣的胃口就恢复，你属灵的消化也就正常。然后主耶稣的丰富就成为你的细胞，这些细胞也长到你生机的组织里。这使你在神圣的生命里长大，并使你在主里刚强。你容易站住，不容易退后，因为你在主里长大。长大的人很难倒下。这是因为他们有好的消化，从他们所吃的属灵食物吸收一切的养分。

　　借着吃，我们有消化；借着消化，我们有吸收；借着这吸收，我们得着基督丰富实际的养分进入我们这人里面。基督一切的丰富至终要长到我们生机的组织里。然后我们就成为基督。不再是我，乃是基督在我里面活着。在我，活着就是基督。

　　呼求主以后，吃喝祂以后，你必须说，“主，怜悯我。使我这人的每一部分向你敞开，使你在我全人里面得着通路。”这样你就有好的消化，有好的吸收，并且你会享受并吸取基督丰富的一切养分。然后基督会成为你这个人（李文集一九七二年第一册，二六七至二六八、二七○页）。

　　When you call, “Lord Jesus,” He gets into you and fills you up. While you are calling “Lord Jesus,” this practical and living Jesus will touch your natural being. But many of you would say, “No, Lord. Don’t touch me here. Stay where You are. You are my guest, and You must stay in the living room. Don’t get into my private bedroom. That’s for me, not for You.” This means indigestion. There is no way for the Lord as the spiritual food to get through in you. There is no free course for the food to get into your inward parts, so you have indigestion.

　　After calling on the Lord, a young brother may eventually have some sense within him that he needs to deal with the way he cuts his hair. If he is slow to respond to this sense, this means that he is not allowing the Lord Jesus to get through. Thus, you have to be on the alert. After calling on the Lord Jesus, if you have any sense within you, any feeling within you, that means the Lord Jesus is moving, and that means the digestion within you is going on. You have to go along with this inner sense. If you go along with this sense, you will be joyful and have a better, bigger, deeper, and higher appetite for Christ… If you argue with the inner sense, this will result in indigestion. Then you will not be so eager to pray-read the Word, and calling on the name of the Lord will not be so sweet to you.

　　But when you respond to and go along with the inner sense, your appetite for the Lord Jesus comes back, and your spiritual digestion becomes proper. Then the riches of the Lord Jesus become your cells, and these cells grow into your organic tissues. This causes you to grow in the divine life and makes you strong in the Lord. It is easy for you to stand and not easy for you to backslide, because you are growing in the Lord… The grown-up ones… have a good digestion to assimilate all the nourishment from the spiritual food that they eat.

　　By eating we have digesting, by digesting we have the assimilation, and by this assimilation we get the practical nourishment of the riches of Jesus into our being. All the riches of Christ eventually will grow into our organic tissues. Then we become Christ. It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. To me, to live is Christ.

　　After calling on the Lord, after eating and drinking Him, we have to say, “Lord, be merciful to me. Cause every part of my being to be open to You. Have the thoroughfare within my whole being.” Then we will have a good digestion for a good assimilation, and we will enjoy and absorb all the nourishment of the riches of Christ. Then Christ will become our very being. (CWWL, 1972, vol. 1, “The Living and Practical Way to Enjoy Christ,” pp. 205-208)
