当主在我们里面运行、活动、推动并加力时,我们怎么办?我们该闭口不言么?不,我们必然会觉得非说点什么不可,我们的确会表达我们里面的感觉。这就是属灵的祷告,灵里的祷告,属灵的祷告乃是发表基督在我们里面的运行。基督在话里,藉着话,并且成为话,在我们里面运行、活动、推动并加力。
当我们住在主里面,并让祂的话住在我们里面,我们就实际地与主是一,祂也作工在我们里面。这样,我们无论祈求什么,就不仅是我们在祷告,也是祂在我们的祷告里祷告。这样的祷告与结果子有关, 且必定会得着成就。当主的话住在我们里面,祂的交通和发表就住在我们里面。因此,凡我们所愿意的,我们就可以祈求。
While the Lord is moving, acting, motivating and energizing within us, what shall we do? Should we keep our mouths closed? No, we shall certainly feel impelled to utter something. We shall surely express what we feel within. This is spiritual prayer, a prayer in the spirit. The spiritual prayer expresses the moving of Christ within us. Christ in, through, and as the Word is moving, acting, motivating and energizing within us.
When we abide in the Lord and allow his words abide in us, we are actually one with him, and he is working within us. Then, whatever we ask, it is not only we who are praying but also he who is praying in our prayer. This kind of prayer is related to fruit-bearing and surely it will be fulfilled. When the Lord’s word abides in us, his fellowship and expression abide in us. Therefore, whatever we desire, we may ask.
