撒但的奧祕,撒但的哲學

在背道的召會裡,有許多所謂的奧秘;這邪惡的召會所教導的一切奧秘,都是屬撒但的哲學。他們有一項哲學說,如果不加一點東西在聖經的真理裡,人就很難接受。主很智慧,把這件事比喻為酵,放在細面裡,使餅比較容易吃。背道的召會說,若是沒有聖誕節,人就很難接受基督出生這個真理。聖誕彌撒就是加在細面裡的酵。這真是詭詐又惡毒!

Not by ourselves 不憑自己

Whenever the Lord asks us to do something for Him, He does not intend that we do that thing by ourselves. We are not able in ourselves to do anything that the Lord asks us to do....If we try to do this, the Lord might say, “I do not ask you to do something for Me by your strength or ability, for you do not have the strength or the ability. What I ask you to do for Me, I want you to do by Me. Learn to have faith in Me, to trust in Me. I will do everything for you. I simply want you to participate in My operation. I want to do something in man and with man. For this, I need to have man cooperate with Me. If you cooperate with Me, I will be able to do what I desire to do.” To do something for the Lord not by ourselves but by the Lord—this is pleasing to Him.
(Life-study of Deuteronomy)

每當主要求我們為祂作什麼,祂不是要我們憑自己來作。我們在自己裡面無法作主要求我們作的。……我們若想這樣作,主會說,“我沒有要求你憑自己的力量或能力為我作什麼,因為你沒有力量或能力。我要求你為我作的,我要你憑著我來作。學習相信我、信靠我。我會為你作一切。我只要你有分於我的工作。我要在人裡面,與人一同來作。為此我需要人與我合作。你若與我合作,我就能作出我想要作的。”不憑自己,乃憑主來為主作事,這是祂所喜悅的。

Dive into this flow! 跳入這流!

"I am certain that the way we are now taking is absolutely right. Do not consider any other way---dive into this flow and stay in it. Use this opportunity to learn, to be trained, to be adjusted, to be saturated by the Lord, and to be made useful for Him. We all must learn this way and never return to the old way." (Life-study of Genesis)

我確信我們現在所走的路絕對正確。不要考慮別的路。要跳入這流裏,並留在其中。利用機會學習,受訓練,被調整,被主浸透,使我們對祂成為有用。我們都必須學習這條路,絕不要回到老路去。 《創世記生命讀經》

Enjoyment is our destiny 享受是我們的定命

Enjoyment is also our destiny. Young brothers, do not worry about finding a wife. If you remain restful and full of enjoyment, the best wife will come to you. In our Christian life there is the aspect of enjoyment. I have been striving since I was twelve years of age. Now, after almost sixty years, I can testify that many times my striving has frustrated the coming of the enjoyment. If I had not striven, the enjoyment would have come much earlier and in a richer way. Why does striving frustrate the enjoyment? Because enjoyment is our destiny. We all have been predestinated for it. Young brothers, forget about your striving. Simply go home, pray, praise, and sleep. The next morning rise up, have a good morning watch, and eat a hearty breakfast. Do not worry about finding a wife. Rebekah will come to you. This is the enjoyment which is our destiny. Are we not the sons of God? How can the sons of God be pitiful people? We must declare, "Praise the Lord that I am a son of God! The almighty, all-sufficient God is my Father!" The word father denotes a rich provision. As long as we have a rich father, we have the provision and have no need to worry. We should simply enjoy this bountiful provision. This is our destiny. (Life-study of Genesis)

享受也是我們的定命。青年弟兄們,不要為找妻子憂慮。你若一直是安息的,且滿有享受,最好的妻子會到你面前來。在我們基督徒的生活裏有享受的一面。我從十二歲起就一直奮鬥。現在,差不多六十年之後,我能作見證,許多時候我的奮鬥阻撓了享受的臨到。我若不奮鬥,享受會來得更早,更豐富。奮鬥為甚麼阻撓享受?因為享受是我們的定命。我們都已被豫定要享受。青年弟兄們,忘了你的奮鬥罷!只要回家,禱告、讚美、睡覺。第二天早晨起來,守個好晨更,喫頓豐富的早餐。不要為找妻子憂慮。利百加會來到你面前。這就是享受,這享受是我們的定命。我們不是神的兒子麼?神的兒子怎麼會是可憐的人?我們必須宣告:『讚美主,我是神的兒子!那位全能、全豐全足的神是我的父!』父字指明豐富的供備。只要我們有一位豐富的父,我們就有供備,無須憂慮。我們只該享受這豐富的供備。這是我們的定命。《創世記生命讀經》

Caring for God and His interests 顧到神和神的權益

Caring for God and His interests produces faith. When we are so much for ourselves, it is difficult for us to have faith in God. But if we take the standing that we are for God and that for His interests we are willing to risk everything - our future, our family, even our life - faith will spontaneously be produced in us. (LIFE-STUDY OF NUMBERS)

顧到神和神的權益就產生信心。我們太過為著自己的時候,就很難對神有信心。但我們若站住立埸為著神,也為著祂的權益而甘冒失去前途、家庭、甚至性命的危險,這樣,我們裏面就自然會產生信心。《民數記生命讀經》

Execute God’s judgment now! 執行神的審判!

Today the church must pray to ‘‘bind the strong man’’ and ‘‘plunder his house’’ (Matt. 12:29), fight against the wicked spirits in the air (Eph. 6:12), and cast out the demons (Matt. 17:21) wherever we see them working to damage people. (Life-study of Genesis)

今天召會必須[禱告以]『捆綁那壯者,』並且『洗劫他的家,』 (太十二29,)進攻空中的諸惡靈,(弗六12,)並且每逢看見鬼作工敗壞人的時候,就要趕逐牠們。《創世記生命讀經》

Every genuine Christian is a miniature garden of Eden 每一個真正的基督徒都是伊甸園的縮影

Every genuine Christian is a miniature garden of Eden
As a result of the fall, Satan as the tree of knowledge came into man's flesh. As a result of our believing in Christ, God as the tree of life came into our spirit. Therefore, the two trees that were once in the garden outside of man are now within us, one in our flesh and the other in our spirit. (Life-study of Genesis)

每一個真正的基督徒都是伊甸園的縮影
墮落的結果,使撒但這知識樹進到人的肉體中。我們相信基督的結果,使神這生命樹進到我們的靈裏。因此,那從前在人身外園子中的兩棵樹,現今到了我們的裏面,一棵在我們的肉體裏,另一棵在我們的靈中。《創世記生命讀經》

GOD'S RESTRICTION AND LEARNING TO TAKE THE LORD'S RESTRICTION 神的約束與學習受主的約束(給青年人的一段話)

GOD'S RESTRICTION

The Lord is especially interested in restricting the young people. If the young ones do not have a heart to serve the Lord, He will stir them up to serve Him. But once they have been stirred up, He will limit them. Human nature does not like this kind of limitation. For example, both in our sleeping and in our activity we may not like limitations. When, spiritually speaking, we are asleep, God will stir us up. But when we become too active, He will restrict us. I know some young people who have been offended because God has done this to them. A young brother may want to be a leader among the young people. If he becomes a leader, he may then want to be a deacon or an elder in the church. In these matters he may expect to make swift progress. God's way, however, is first to speed us up and then to slow us down, first to raise us up and then to lower us down. When we are down, He will lift us up. But when we get too far up, He will lower us down. Hence, God's way of dealing with us is up and down, down and up. If we can take God's ups and downs, we shall eventually become useful in His work. 

Many young people cannot tolerate God's ups and downs. After a few of these ups and downs, they want to quit. Their attitude may be, "If God wants me up, then let me go up to the heavens and stay there until the Lord Jesus comes back. But if God wants me down, let me stay down. But I don't like going up and down, down and up." This unhappiness with God's ups and downs is an expression of the disposition of many young people. 

God does not want us to be always up or to be always down. Even in nature the alternating of day and night testifies of this. There is no such thing as an unending day or night. Rather, there is the alternating of day and night, night and day. God did not create us so that we would have a day or night that would last for many years. This may be according to our way, but it is not according to God's way. 

LEARNING TO TAKE THE LORD'S RESTRICTION 

God has many ways to bring us down. Some young people have been brought down by their married life. Before a particular brother was married, he may have been like an eagle soaring in the air. He could easily talk about the wonderful, glorious church life. But not long after his wedding, it seems that the church life is no longer glorious. God is using his marriage to calm down such an excited brother. In some cases, such a brother may stay down for a long period of time after his marriage. But eventually he is up again, although not in the same excited way as before. This is a sign of improvement. 

Sometimes God may use one of the elders to bring you down. If such a thing happens to you, you should realize that God is the one who is putting you down, not the elder. He does it by means of the elder. Without having any intention, that elder may speak a certain word to you, and that word lowers you down. God deals with us in this way because He is a God of measure, apportioning to us a certain measure. 

I realize that it is a serious matter to be down. Some brothers may be down for such a long time that it seems that they will never rise up again. But perhaps after another period of time, they will once again be up. None of us should presume to say what another brother's situation will be. It seems that this being up and down is beyond our control or management. Yes, we do not control this or manage it. Therefore, we all must realize that God is in control and that this is His way to keep us within our measure.

神的約束與學習受主的約束(給青年人的一段話)

文章日期:2012-05-28 23:37
主特別喜歡約束年輕人。如果年輕人無心事奉,主會挑旺他們事奉祂。但等他們被挑旺之後,祂又會限制他們。人天然的性情不喜歡這種限制。譬如,在睡覺和活動 上,我們也許不喜歡受限制。我們在屬靈上沉睡時,神會來挑旺我們。但我們太活躍的時候,祂就約束我們。我知道有些年輕人因著神這樣對待他們,而向神生氣。 一位年輕弟兄可能想在年輕人中間帶頭。如果他帶頭了,他可能又想在召會中作執事或長老。在這些事上,他可能巴望有快速的進展。但神的原則乃是先叫我們快起來,又使我們慢下去;先興起我們來,又使我們降下。當我們下沉時,祂來扶持我們。但當我們上得太高,祂就把我們拉回來。因此,神對付我們的作法就是上去下來,下來上去。我們若肯接受神這樣的上上下下,最終我們就能在祂的工作中有用處。

許多年輕人受不了神的上上下下。幾番上上下下,他們就想逃了。他們的態度是:『如果神要我上,就讓我上到諸天之上,留在那裡直等主耶穌回來。如果神要我下,就把我留在底下。我不喜歡上上下下,下下上上。』這種不喜歡神的上上下下,是許多年輕人個性的表現。

神不要我們一直在上,或一直在下。甚至在自然界,日夜的轉換也證實這事。不會永遠都是白晝或黑夜,乃是有白晝有晚上,有晚上又有白晝。神創造我們,不會使我們的一日或一夜持續多年之久。這可能是照著我們的路,卻不是照著神的路。

學習受主的約束

神有許多方法把我們帶到低處。有些年輕人被他們的婚姻生活帶到低處。某位弟兄在婚前可能像飛鷹翱翔在空中。他很容易談到美妙而榮耀的召會生活。但是結婚沒有多久,召會生活就不再榮耀了。神用婚姻生活來使這位興奮的弟兄冷靜下來。有些弟兄婚後就這樣在低處沉寂了很長一段時間。但最終他會起來,只是不像從前那樣衝動了。這是長進的現象。

神有時會用一個長老把你帶到低處。你若遇見這情形,你該知道,把你打倒的是神,而不是長老。是神藉著長老這樣作。長老對你說的話可能是無心的,卻把你打倒了。神這樣對付我們,因為祂是度量的神,分給我們一定的度量。

我知道下沉是件嚴重的事。有些弟兄們下沉很久,似乎再也起不來了。但過了一段時間,他們又起來了。我們沒有一個人可以為另一位弟兄的情形下斷言。這種上上下下似乎不是我們能控制、支配的。我們的確不能控制、支配。因此,我們都必須看見,是神在管治,祂乃是這樣把我們限制在我們的度量裡。

Psa. 51:11 - Do not cast me from Your presence,
And do not take the Spirit of Your holiness away from me.
詩篇五十一11 不要丟棄我,使我離開你的面;不要從我取去你聖別的靈。

If we lose God's presence, we lose everything. God’s presence is actually the Spirit of His holiness. If we lose God’s presence, we lose everything. ~ LIFE-STUDY OF THE PSALMS
我們若失去神的面,就失去一切。神的面,實際上就是那靈。那靈離開,神的面也就消失。《詩篇生命讀經》

Your presence is my strength, sustain and comfort, is my joy and psalms!
你的同在是我的力量、扶持和安慰,也是我的喜樂和詩歌!

一件事情對我們可能是生命,也可能是知識。我們在作的時候,若是經歷到活神的同在,那就是生命;若是沒有神的同在,那就只是死的知識。一切的作法或方法,都不能幫助我們。我們需要活的神。
你們聽了在主裏較有經歷的弟兄作的見證,不要嘗試去模倣他。你們若這樣作,就會轉向知識樹。你們只需要不斷的接觸主,主就要成為你們的生命樹。

2010高雄縣大學期末特會 蒙恩

文章日期:2010-07-03 22:59
經過高屏大專特會的經節考試,很珍賞學生們如青少年的單純,還有如同軍隊的士氣以及禱告操練靈,讓我以為我回到了全時間訓練中心!你們是我的同伴!一同奔跑屬天賽程。

以弟兄最後給我們的話共勉:
我們都需要認識甚麼是恢復,這恢復在那裏,怎樣的人能帶這恢復往前。我們都需要看見,今天在主的恢復裏,我們是在戰場上。我們該是今日的約書亞和迦勒,與撒但空中的權勢爭戰,使我們得著更多的基督以建造基督的身體,建立並擴展神的國,使基督能回來承受地。(

逃避教訓之風的路

逃避教訓之風的路

文章日期:2010-05-28 20:04
風浪到底是甚麼。這些乃是不同的教訓、(提前一3~4、)道理、觀念和意見。當召會在海上航行時,撒但會找機會送進一些有吸引力的教訓、觀念和意見,好迷惑信徒。他這樣作的目的,是要把他們從基督與召會帶開。

逃避風浪惟一的路,就是在生命裡長大。

每當你這樣受試探時,你該說,『我不在意這些甜的東西。我只注意基督,注意召會,注意年長之人的蔭蔽。』

要暴露任何騙人的教訓,最可靠的試驗就是基督與召會。

長大、蒙保護、受遮蓋,惟一的路就是留在正確的召會生活中。不要太相信你個人對任何光景的感覺。

當我們在主裡面慢慢長大時,我們需要留在召會保護的遮蓋下。要信靠召會,不要信靠你個人主觀的感覺。仰望主,祂會使你信靠祂並信靠召會。你需要這樣,特別當你照著你的感覺,認為召會不是那麼好的時候,更需要如此。你覺得召會的光景不是那麼積極的時候,更要越發的信靠召會。

得知神萬般的智慧

得知神萬般的智慧

文章日期:2010-03-29 19:51
神的仇敵所作的一切,都是給神機會顯出祂的智慧。我們若從來沒有受過毒害並被敗壞,我們就不太需要神,也不需要神的救恩。我們越犯罪、越敗壞、越受破壞,我們就越需要神,神也越有機會為我們作事。

召會是神的傑作,使神的智慧得以如此奇妙的展示出來。在神眼中,宇宙中最奇妙的東西乃是召會,因為藉著召會,撒但和他的使者就得知神萬般的智慧。撒但和他的使者蒙羞的日子即將來臨。那時他們要知道,他們所作的一切,不過是給神機會顯明祂的智慧。同樣的原則,我們的失敗、錯誤、挫折、過犯,也都給神機會展示祂的智慧。我們沒有人喜歡犯錯,反而都喜歡作好。雖然我總想要作對的事,但我還是犯了許多錯,甚至犯了一些大錯。我當然恨惡這些錯誤,但我能見證,這些錯誤給神機會表明祂的智慧。所以,我能為我的一切過錯感謝主。

我們若回顧已往,就會看見我們因著過錯所蒙的恩典,比起我們沒有犯錯所蒙的恩典更多。雖然我犯了一些大錯誤,但是藉著這些錯誤,我蒙了許多的憐憫和恩典。似乎錯誤越嚴重,所蒙的憐憫和恩典就越多。阿利路亞!我們是神所揀選的人,甚至藉著我們的失敗,神萬般的智慧也得著顯明!然而,我們不可故意失敗,為要得神的憐憫和恩典。

我們對傳福音的觀念需要提高。我們不該只注意得人;我們傳福音,應當是藉著將神分賜到人裡面,而執行神的經綸。你去讀書或作事,目的乃是照神為著祂的分賜而有的經綸,執行你的管家職分。我們不是作普通傳福音的工作,我們乃是把神分賜到人裡面。這是何等榮耀的職事!何等奇妙的管家職分!讚美主,我們都有這樣的管家職分!我們都有權利將基督那追測不盡的豐富分賜到別人裡面!

沒有指望、沒有神

文章日期:2010-03-11 21:29
我們得救以前活在世上,沒有指望讓我們期待,也沒有神給我們享受。那就是我們追求屬世娛樂的原因。今天世上的人渴求娛樂,因為他們沒有神作他們的享受。但現今我們在基督裡,有神作我們的享受。這享受是何等令人滿足! 我們的地位在肉身上原是外邦人,是未受割禮的,是在基督以外,和以色列國民隔絕,在所應許的諸約上是局外人,在世上沒有指望,沒有神。按我們的本性,我們是在死裡;按我們的身分,我們是在神、基督、神的應許、神的國、和一切與神有關的事以外。我們既處在這樣的地位上,就沒有指望,沒有神作我們的享受。在世上我們追求罪中之樂,想要找著滿足。然而,召會已經從這樣可悲的光景和地位中產生出來。神已經救我們脫離那種光景,使我們成為基督身體的肢體。現今我們是神的傑作,我們有新的光景、新的地位、新的性情、和新的身分。

拆毀我們中間隔斷

拆毀我們中間隔斷

文章日期:2010-03-06 21:00
由於交通和通訊的進步,世界上的人越來越融合。這是在神主宰的權柄之下,使祂能得著新人,就是包含所有不同民族的正當召會生活。所以,關於我們的生活方式,我們都必須學習不在別人身上強加任何要求,也不要有任何規條。

人與人之間的不同,開始於巴別。在神的經綸裡,在召會生活中,我們必須勝過巴別。我們的語言能成為規條。當我們在另一個國家長久居留,甚至住在那裡時,若是可能,我們應當學習當地的語言,不要堅持說自己的家鄉話。

我們這些蒙救贖並在恢復中的人,已經遷到基督裡,並在召會生活中;我們必須學習恨惡那使不同民族分裂的差異。世人認為文化的差異乃是聲望的標記,但是在基督裡我們都失去了這個聲望;現今我們惟一的聲望乃是基督,以及真正的一。我們所在之地或會所,不該有獨特的聲望。我們都該操練自己順著別人。只要某種實行不牽涉到淫亂或不道德的事,就沒有甚麼不對。不要執著於你的聲望。我們若願意放下我們文化的驕傲,主纔有可能得著正當的召會生活。

拆毀中間隔斷的牆是為著新人、神的國民、神的家人、以及神居所的建造。我們若持守我們的不同,就不可能有這四方面的召會生活。基督教滿了不同民族之間分裂的差異。因這緣故,在恢復之外的基督徒不可能有召會生活。為著召會生活的緣故,一切的不同都必須踩在我們的腳下。

我們不該持守任何規條,也不該創造新的規條。靠著主的恩典,我們必須學習有彈性,為著召會生活放下一切的不同。不論我們去那裡,我們都必須學習和別人一樣。這樣,我們就要享受召會生活作新人、神的國民、神的家、和神的居所。
