基督复活和升天之后，个人的基督成了团体的基督；因此，今天在神面前，不仅个人的基督在代求，团体的基督，就是元首同身体，也在代求─林前十二12，徒十二5，12：
After His resurrection and ascension, the individual Christ has become the corporate Christ; thus, before God today not only is the individual Christ interceding, but the corporate Christ, the Head with the Body, is interceding as well—1 Cor. 12:12; Acts 12:5, 12:

三
我们若要在香坛与基督一同代求，就必须看见三件主要的事：
If we would intercede with Christ at the incense altar, we need to see three crucial matters:
If we would intercede with Christ at the incense altar, we need to see three crucial matters:
１
我们祷告时，应当在帐幕里；也就是说，我们应当在神里面─约一14，十四2~3，20，13~14，十五4上，7，十七21，24。
When we pray, we should be in the tabernacle; that is, we should be in God—John 1:14; 14:2-3, 20, 13-14; 15:4a, 7; 17:21, 24.
When we pray, we should be in the tabernacle; that is, we should be in God—John 1:14; 14:2-3, 20, 13-14; 15:4a, 7; 17:21, 24.
２
我们要祷告时，应当先借着吃神圣的食物得饱足；也就是说，我们应当与在我们里面作能力供应的神一同祷告─约一29，六53~56。
When we are about to pray, we should first be satisfied by eating holy food; that is, we should pray with God within us as our energizing supply—John 1:29; 6:53-56.
When we are about to pray, we should first be satisfied by eating holy food; that is, we should pray with God within us as our energizing supply—John 1:29; 6:53-56.
３
我们祷告时，应当献上香给神；也就是说，我们应当以基督为香来祷告─出三十34~38，启八3~4。
When we pray, we should offer incense to God; that is, we should pray with Christ as the incense—Exo. 30:34-38; Rev. 8:3-4.
When we pray, we should offer incense to God; that is, we should pray with Christ as the incense—Exo. 30:34-38; Rev. 8:3-4.
四
我们在香坛前祷告时，我们的祷告既没有凡火，也没有异样的香─利十1，出三十9上：
When we pray at the incense altar, there will be neither strange fire nor strange incense in our prayer—Lev. 10:1; Exo. 30:9a:
When we pray at the incense altar, there will be neither strange fire nor strange incense in our prayer—Lev. 10:1; Exo. 30:9a:
１
在我们的祷告中有凡火，就是有了某种天然的动机，没有受过十字架的对付。
To have strange fire in our prayer is to have some kind of motive that is natural and that has not been dealt with by the cross.
To have strange fire in our prayer is to have some kind of motive that is natural and that has not been dealt with by the cross.
２
在我们的祷告中有异样的香，乃是祷告与基督无关的事物。
To have strange incense in our prayer is to have prayer that is not related to Christ.
To have strange incense in our prayer is to have prayer that is not related to Christ.
五
我们若要在帐幕里香坛前祷告，就必须被焚烧成灰，减少成为无有─利六13，诗二十3，加二20，林前一28下：
If we would pray in the tabernacle at the incense altar, we need to be burned to ashes, reduced to nothing—Lev. 6:13; Psa. 20:3; Gal. 2:20; 1 Cor. 1:28b.
If we would pray in the tabernacle at the incense altar, we need to be burned to ashes, reduced to nothing—Lev. 6:13; Psa. 20:3; Gal. 2:20; 1 Cor. 1:28b.
１
在帐幕里乃是在神里面，而在神里面的要求乃是我们成为无有─约十五4上，5下。
To be in the tabernacle is to be in God, and the requirement for being in God is that we become nothing—John 15:4a, 5b.
To be in the tabernacle is to be in God, and the requirement for being in God is that we become nothing—John 15:4a, 5b.
２
我们若烧成灰烬，就不再是天然的─林前二14~15：
If we are burned to ashes, we will no longer be natural—1 Cor. 2:14-15:
If we are burned to ashes, we will no longer be natural—1 Cor. 2:14-15:
ａ
我们的行为、眼光和美德加在一起就等于我们天然的人，这个天然的人与作神见证的基督相对。
Our conduct, our sight, and our virtue equal our natural being, which is versus Christ as God's testimony.
Our conduct, our sight, and our virtue equal our natural being, which is versus Christ as God's testimony.
ｂ
我们若要在香坛前祷告，就必须不再有天然的行为，天然的眼光和天然的美德。
If we would pray at the incense altar, we must no longer have our natural conduct, our natural sight, and our natural virtue.
If we would pray at the incense altar, we must no longer have our natural conduct, our natural sight, and our natural virtue.
ｃ
我们若要在香坛前祷告，就必须得着基督作我们生命的供应，使我们有正当的行为；作我们的光，使我们有真正的视力；也作我们的美德，使我们有馨香之气升到神面前。
If we would pray at the incense altar, we must have Christ as our life supply for proper conduct, as our light for proper sight, and as our virtue for us to have a sweet fragrance ascending to God.
If we would pray at the incense altar, we must have Christ as our life supply for proper conduct, as our light for proper sight, and as our virtue for us to have a sweet fragrance ascending to God.
六
我们在香坛前祷告时，就很难被自己所霸占；相反的，我们为神的经纶，为神的分赐，为神的行动，并为神的恢复祷告。
When we pray at the incense altar, it is very difficult for us to be occupied with ourselves; instead, we pray for God's economy, for God's dispensing, for God's move, and for God's recovery.
