与主一同从帐幕的召会生活往前到殿的召会生活,为着建造基督的身体作活神的殿
Going On with the Lord from the Tabernacle Church Life to the Temple Church Life for the Building Up of the Body of Christ as the Temple of the Living God
« 周 纲目 »
伍 神建造召会作活神的殿的意念和道路,高过我们的意念和道路;我们需要弃绝我们的道路和意念,并归向耶和华我们的神,在召会这活神的殿中,走享受祂的路—创二9,约六35、57、63,赛五五6~13,五七20,约一14,二19,三34,十七17,弗五26,林后三15~18,六16,罗八28~29,启二二1~2:
Ⅴ God’s thoughts and ways to build up the church as the temple of the living God are higher than ours; we need to forsake our ways and our thoughts and return to Jehovah our God to take the way of enjoying Him in the church as the temple of the living God—Gen. 2:9; John 6:35, 57, 63; Isa. 55:6-13; 57:20; John 1:14; 2:19; 3:34; 17:17; Eph. 5:26; 2 Cor. 3:15-18; 6:16; Rom. 8:28-29; Rev. 22:1-2:
一 我们这些神的儿女需要转一个观念,领悟神的心意是要把祂自己给我们享受—诗三六8~9,十六11,十九8,二七6,四二4~5,四八2,六三7,六六1~2,八一1,八九15~18,九五1~2,一○○1~2,一二六1~6,尼八10,约壹一3~4:
A As God’s children, we need to change our concept and realize that God’s desire is to give Himself to us for our enjoyment—Psa. 36:8-9; 16:11; 19:8; 27:6; 42:4-5; 48:2; 63:7; 66:1-2; 81:1; 89:15-18; 95:1-2; 100:1-2; 126:1-6; Neh. 8:10; 1 John 1:3-4:
1 结果子是在于享受神—约十五7~11。
1 Fruit-bearing is to enjoy God—John 15:7-11.
2 祷告是在于享受神—哀三55~56,诗歌二一○首。
2 Prayer is to enjoy God—Lam. 3:55-56; Hymns, #255.
3 尽话语职事是在于享受神—约六57、63,七37~39,林前十五10,林后三1~6、18,二17,十三3,弗三2,彼前四10~11,耶十五16,结三1~4,赛五五8~11。
3 Ministering the word is to enjoy God—John 6:57, 63; 7:37-39; 1 Cor. 15:10; 2 Cor. 3:1-6, 18; 2:17; 13:3; Eph. 3:2; 1 Pet. 4:10-11; Jer. 15:16; Ezek. 3:1-4; Isa. 55:8-11.
4 传福音是在于享受神—约四10、13~14、31~34。

5 受神引导是在于享受神—出三三14。
5 Receiving His leading is to enjoy God—Exo. 33:14.
二 过基督徒的生活,使我们成为得胜者的秘诀,就在于我们走享受神作生命树的路;神没有意思要我们为祂作什么;祂唯一的心意是要将祂自己当作食物给我们享受—创二9,启二7。
B The secret of living the Christian life so that we may be overcomers is for us to take the way of enjoying God as the tree of life; God does not intend for us to do anything for Him; His only desire is to give Himself to us as food for our enjoyment—Gen. 2:9; Rev. 2:7.
三 在神的家,神的殿中,就是在基督里(约二19~22),在召会里(提前三15,林前三16~17,林后六16),在我们的灵里(弗二22),至终在新耶路撒冷里(启二一22),我们尝尝,便知道耶和华是美善的(诗三四8)。
C We taste and see that Jehovah is good (Psa. 34:8) in the house of God, the temple of God, that is, in Christ (John 2:19-22), in the church (1 Tim. 3:15; 1 Cor. 3:16-17; 2 Cor. 6:16), in our spirit (Eph. 2:22), and ultimately in the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:22).
四 我们应当爱神所住的殿,和祂的荣耀所居住、停留并显明之处—二六8,八四1,二九9下,弗三20~21上。
D We should love the habitation of God’s house, the temple, and the place where His glory abides, remains, to be manifested—Psa. 26:8; 84:1; 29:9b; Eph. 3:20-21a.
五 “有一件事,我曾求耶和华,我仍要寻求;就是一生一世住在耶和华的殿中,瞻仰祂的荣美,在祂的殿里求问”(诗二七4);耶和华的殿是神人二性扩大、宇宙的合并,使父得着彰显、满足和安息(约十四2、20、23)。
E “One thing I have asked from Jehovah; ⁄ That do I seek: ⁄ To dwell in the house of Jehovah ⁄All the days of my life, ⁄ To behold the beauty of Jehovah, ⁄ And to inquire in His temple” (Psa. 27:4); the house of Jehovah is the enlarged, universal, divine-human incorporation for the Father’s manifestation, satisfaction, and rest (John 14:2, 20, 23).
六 在基督里,在召会中,并在我们的灵里,我们享受定居的神作祂殿里的肥甘叫我们饱足,作祂的乐河解我们的干渴,作生命的源头和光喂养我们并光照我们—诗三六8~9。
F In Christ, in the church, and in our spirit, we enjoy “the located God” as the fatness of His house to saturate us, as the river of His pleasures to quench our thirst, and as the fountain of life and light to feed us and enlighten us—Psa. 36:8-9.
七 “我就到神的祭坛,到我最喜乐的神那里;神啊,我的神,我要弹琴赞美你”—四三4。
G “I will go to the altar of God, ⁄ To God my exceeding joy; ⁄ And I will praise You with the harp, ⁄ O God, my God”—43:4.
八 在神的家,神的殿中,我们享受神的脸(神的同在)作为救恩(四二5),使祂能成为我们脸上的救恩(11)。

陆 “住在你殿中的,便为有福;他们仍要赞美你。细拉 因你有力量,心中想往锡安大道的,这人便为有福”—八四4~5:
Ⅵ “Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; ⁄ They will yet be praising You. Selah ⁄ Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, ⁄ In whose heart are the highways to Zion”—84:4-5:

  诗二七4 有一件事,我曾求耶和华,我仍要寻求;就是一生一世住在耶和华的殿中,瞻仰祂的荣美,在祂的殿里求问。

  出三三14 耶和华说,我的同在必和你同去,我必使你得安息。

  盼望神的儿女……转一个念头,神只有一个意思,就是祂要把祂自己给我们享受。所有基督徒的秘诀都在这里。不是你为神作了多少,乃是你享受神有多少。……你要学这一个秘诀。……要学一件事,常常回到你的里面,再享受神自己。……连你的孩子生了重病,……你也要学习到神面前去享受祂,吸取祂。你忘掉了孩子的病,请你记得,你忘掉,祂不会忘掉。你记得很牢的时候,祂反而不管。……主说,“……〔你的拉撒路〕病了,我早就知道了,但是你这个祷告,我是不听的。你若不祷告,我反而去;你这一要我去,我非要等他死不可。不光死,还要等到他埋葬了、臭了,我才去。”主就是这样。主并没有意思要我们为祂作什么,主只有一个意思,就是要我们学习吸取祂自己,享受祂自己(如何享受神及操练,三五页)。
  Psa. 27:4 One thing I have asked from Jehovah; that do I seek: to dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to inquire in His temple.

  Exo. 33:14 And He said, My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.

  As God’s children, we need to change our concept and see that God’s only desire is to give Himself to us to be our enjoyment. The secret of the Christian life is not how much we work for Him, but how much we enjoy Him... We must learn this secret... We need to learn to simply turn our inner being to enjoy God... We need to learn to come to God to enjoy and absorb Him, and forget about everything, even a child’s illness. If we forget, the Lord will not forget, but if we remember, the Lord often seems to ignore the situation... He knows our “Lazarus” is sick, but He does not answer our prayer. Only when we stop does He come. The more we insist, the more He waits until “Lazarus” finally dies, is buried, and begins to stink. This is the Lord. He has no intention for us to do anything for Him. His only intention is that we learn to absorb and enjoy Him. (CWWL, 1958, vol. 1, “How to Enjoy God and How to Practice the Enjoyment of God,” p. 384)
信息选读  
  你若……去传福音,你应当先有半小时、一小时来亲近主,单单来瞻仰祂的荣美,来和祂相交,来赞美祂几句:“主,你太好了,你太美丽了。你是我的救主,你也是万人的救主。我来享受你,我来吸取你,我要活在你的面光中,我要住在你的殿宇里。”你都不必想到传福音的问题,也不要想到你的口才,也不要想对人讲什么。……你里头这样吸取了主自己,满了主自己,当你去

   见〔你的〕教授的时候,……不是你说话,是在你里头被你吸取的那位主,祂穿着你说话。结果你所说的话,都是你所吸取的主自己,人就不能不蒙恩。

  摩西在山上,在神的面前,一直吸取神自己,有四十昼夜之久。当他从山上下来的时候,他自己没有什么感觉,但是以色列人却看见他的脸上放光。这个光是从哪里来的?不是神帮助了他什么,乃是因为他四十天之久,活在神面前,和神有交通,吸取了神。他忘掉了这个,也忘掉了那个,他全数只注意神自己。四十昼夜之久,神给他吸取得够多,他里面满了神,所以他的面上放光。他来到人跟前,都不必对人讲神,人在他的脸面上,就看见神的荣光。这就是基督徒奇妙的地方。你越要能力,能力越离开你;你不必要能力,你只要和神交通,吸取神,享受神,你都不觉得有能力,但是能力就是你的。

  我常常……发现〔有人〕祷告〔寻求〕引导,而不是在享受主。他祷告:“主啊,我该不该去这里?该不该去那里?”他一边祷告,一边脑子里都是在转这些事。所以他不是祷告主,完全是祷告事情。等到他起来之后,衡量衡量,就定规说,大概这件事就是主的旨意吧,这就是主的引导吧。许多人就是这样祷告,难怪他们得不着神的引导。……你若懂得什么是和主交通,你都不必这样祷告。你尽管忘掉那些,单单地来接触主自己,吸取主自己,享受主自己。……这是捷径,非常便利。当你这样吸取祂的时候,享受祂够多的时候,……只要祂和你同在,那就是祂的引导(如何享受神及操练,三二至三四页)。

  If we want to preach the gospel, we should first spend half an hour or an hour contacting the Lord, beholding His glory, fellowshipping with Him, and praising Him. We should say, “Lord, You are too lovely. You are our Savior, and You are the Savior of all men. We come to enjoy You, to absorb You, and to live in the presence of Your countenance. We want to dwell in the house of the Lord.” There is no need for us to think about preaching the gospel. There is no need to worry about our utterance or what we should say... After absorbing the Lord and being filled with Him, we will not be the one speaking when we contact our professor. Rather, the Lord whom we have absorbed will be the One who is speaking through us. The words that we speak will be the very Lord whom we have absorbed, and it will be impossible for others not to be blessed.

  Moses spent forty days and forty nights on the mountain before Jehovah, doing nothing other than absorbing Him. He did not feel anything when he came down from the mountain, but the children of Israel saw the shining of his face. Why was his face shining? God did not do anything for him. Moses merely spent forty days before the Lord, fellowshipping with Him and absorbing Him. He forgot about everything and was fully occupied with the Lord. For forty days and forty nights, Moses was fully absorbed with God and filled with Him. As a result, his face shone. When he presented himself before men, he did not need to say anything concerning God; they saw God’s glory in his face. This is the wonder of the Christian life. The more we ask for power, the more power eludes us. But if we forget about power and instead fellowship with God, absorb Him, and enjoy Him, we will have power without being conscious of it.

  I typically find that [some] pray to receive leading instead of to enjoy the Lord. They pray, “Lord, should I go here, or should I go there?” While they pray, their mind is busy with these questions. They are not actually praying to the Lord; they are praying for things. After praying, they consider the options and then decide which option is according to the Lord’s will and leading. This is the way many people pray. Hence, it is not surprising that they do not receive the Lord’s leading. If we know what fellowship with the Lord is, we do not need to pray this way. We can forget about all these things and simply contact the Lord, absorb Him, and enjoy Him. This is the shortcut, the expeditious way. As we absorb Him and enjoy Him, we will have His presence, which is His leading. (CWWL, 1958, vol. 1, “How to Enjoy God and How to Practice the Enjoyment of God,” pp. 382-383)
