晨兴喂养
可四26~29 ……神的国是这样，如同人把种子撒在地上，……这种子就发芽渐长……。地生五谷，是出于自然的：先发苗，后长穗，再后穗上结成饱满的子粒。谷既熟了，他立刻用镰刀去割，因为收割的时候到了。 在马可四章二十六至二十九节主耶稣说，国度如同人把种子撒在地里。这种子发苗，长叶，吐穗，至终被收割。国度是一粒种子，撒在地里，长大直到成熟，那时就被收割。种子是主耶稣这位照耀者。我们都是土壤，主耶稣这种子撒在其中。种子渐长，至终产生收获，就是国度完全的实现。因此，国度乃是主耶稣这生命的种子，撒在我们里面，生长在我们里面，直到祂在收割的时候达到成熟。……种子在我们里面的生长就是国度的过程。一面我们是在国度里，但另一面我们是在国度的过程中。……今天我们里面有国度的种子在生长。这国度的生长要带我们达到收割，那个收割就是国度完全的实现（李文集一九七二年第二册，二五页）。 |
Mark 4:26-29 …So is the kingdom of God: as if a man cast seed on the earth,…and the seed sprouts and lengthens…The earth bears fruit by itself: first a blade, then an ear, then full grain in the ear. But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he sends forth the sickle, because the harvest has come. In Mark 4:26-29 the Lord Jesus said that the kingdom is like a man who sows seed into the earth. The seed grows, the blade appears, the ear appears, and finally it is harvested. The kingdom is a seed that is sown into the earth and that grows until it reaches maturity, at which time it is harvested. The seed is the Lord Jesus as the shining One. We all are the soil into which the Lord Jesus as the seed has been sown. The seed grows and eventually will produce the harvest, the full manifestation of the kingdom. Thus, the kingdom is the Lord Jesus as the seed of life who has been sown into us and who grows in us until He reaches maturity at the time of harvest…The growth of the seed within us is the process of the kingdom. On the one hand, we are in the kingdom, but on the other hand, we are in the process of the kingdom… Today we have the seed of the kingdom growing within us. This growth of the kingdom will bring us to the harvest, and that harvest will be the full manifestation of the kingdom. (CWWL, 1972, vol. 2, “The Kingdom,” p. 19) |
信息选读
主耶稣说，如果祂靠着那灵赶鬼，这就是神的国临到他们〔太十二28〕。鬼是肮脏、不洁、邪恶的灵，但鬼之所以是鬼，其原则的意思就是背叛。本来鬼是一种受造之物，当撒但背叛神时，它们就跟随他而成为鬼。因此，鬼指明背叛。如果你在日常行事为人上，有些事物不在神的管治下，有些事物仍在背叛神，在原则上那些事物就是鬼。它们需要被主耶稣赶出去。我们必须祷告说，“主耶稣，来赶出我的鬼；甚至到今天我仍是背叛的。”你也许在购物上是背叛的。你可能去了百货公司，虽然主耶稣在你里面告诉你不要去。到了百货公司，你拿起一样东西，虽然主耶稣告诉你放下，你却买了，并且现在还留在家里。这乃是背叛，也就是鬼的原则。 你一直都在基督的管治之下么？我们也许说我们爱祂，却不接受祂的管治。我们也许说基督是我们的生命，但基督作我们的生命也许对我们不很实际。也许那只是一个用辞，而不是实际。……主耶稣的生命乃是管治的生命。每一种生命都有管治的元素，就是其生命之律和规律。我们里面也许有基督的生命，却没有在祂生命的管治之下。所以，就一面的意义说，我们也许仍被许多鬼附着。我们需要主耶稣把它们赶出去。然后我们就真正地在国度里。国度乃是基督实际的实化。我们已经从黑暗的权势迁到基督的国里。然而在我们的日常生活中，我们也许缺少国度的实际。 所有在召会里的人也在神的国里。……然而不是所有在召会里的人，都在诸天之国的实际里，因为他们不都是得胜者。只有召会中的得胜者，才在诸天之国的实际里。……〔这实际〕只包括过属天生活且是得胜者的信徒。……今天那些在诸天之国的实际里受管教的人，乃是将来那些在诸天之国的实现里掌权的人。 诸天之国的外表，就是基督教国，与挂名的基督徒有关。召会和神的国与得救的人有关。诸天之国的实际并诸天之国的实现，与得胜的信徒有关（李文集一九七二年第二册，二一至二二、五八六至五八七页）。 参读：国度，第四十九至五十章。 |
The Lord Jesus said that if He cast out demons by the Spirit, then the kingdom of God had come upon them [Matt. 12:28]. A demon is a dirty, unclean, evil spirit, but the principle of being a demon simply means rebellion. Originally, demons were a kind of created being. When Satan rebelled against God, they followed him and became demons. Therefore, demons indicate rebellion. If in your daily walk there are some things that are not under God’s ruling, some things still in rebellion against God, those things in principle are demons. They need to be cast out by the Lord Jesus. We must pray, “Lord Jesus, come and cast out my demons. Even today I am rebellious.” You may be rebellious in your shopping. Perhaps you went to the department store although the Lord Jesus within you told you not to go. Once in the store, you picked up an item, and even though the Lord Jesus told you to drop it, you bought it, and you still have it at home. This is rebellion, the principle of a demon. Are you always under the ruling of Christ? We may say that we love Him yet not accept His ruling. We may say that Christ is our life, but Christ as our life may not be very real to us. It may simply be a term, not a reality… The life of the Lord Jesus is a ruling life. In every kind of life there is a ruling element, which is its life law and regulation. We may have the life of Christ within and yet not be under the ruling of His life. So, in a sense, we may be still possessed by many demons. We need the Lord Jesus to cast them out. Then we will truly be in the kingdom. The kingdom is the realization of the reality of Christ. We have been transferred out of darkness into the kingdom of Christ. Yet, in our daily living, we may lack the reality of the kingdom. All those who are in the church are also in the kingdom of God…However, not all those who are in the church are in the reality of the kingdom of the heavens, because not all of them are overcomers. Only the overcomers in the church are in the reality of the kingdom of the heavens…It includes only the believers who are living a heavenly life and are overcomers. Those who are being disciplined today in the reality of the kingdom of the heavens are those who will reign in the future in the manifestation of the kingdom of the heavens. The appearance of the kingdom of the heavens, Christendom, is related to the nominal Christians. The church and the kingdom of God are related to the saved ones. The reality of the kingdom of the heavens and the manifestation of the kingdom of the heavens are related to the overcoming believers.
