经文：但与主联合的，便是与主成为一灵。（林前六17，另译）
撒但已经进到我们的身体里，他要从我们的身体控制我们的魂。因此，撒但从外面作到里面。主以相反的方向作工，祂从里面作出来。有一天祂进到我们的灵里，就是我们全人的中心、轮轴，使这灵成为祂的居所（罗八16，提后四22，林前六17）。从祂在我们灵里的居所，祂往外作工，朝向我们的魂。撒但是在我们的身体里，朝向我们的魂作工；主是从我们的灵，朝向我们的魂作工。
现在我们能看见，神、人和撒但这三方全都在人里面。在伊甸园里，亚当面对两个选择：生命树和善恶知识树。在今天的教会里，知识树是在我们的身体里，生命树是在我们的灵里。这两个源头现今都在我们里面。我们必须看见，我们是复杂的人，有三方在我们里面。我们知道，我们人有灵、魂、体三部分。你是否知道撒但已经居住在你的身体，就是你的肉体里？你是否知道主已经居住在你的灵里？在灵与体之间是魂，就是己。你自己住在你的魂里。因此，撒但住在你的身体里，主耶稣住在你的灵里，而你住在你的魂里。这就造成一个非常复杂的光景！你得救之前，不是那么复杂；你相当简单，因为你一直是随着撒但的。然而，在你相信主耶稣那天，一个争战开始了。现今有一个持续的争战，因为在你里面有三个居住者：撒但在你的身体里、基督在你的灵里、你自己在你的魂里。也许就在今天，你因着在你里头这复杂的光景，而有一些难处。

The Human Soul – A Battlefield – 2 Tim. 4:22, 1 Cor. 6:17
Satan has entered into our body and wants to control our soul from our body. Therefore, Satan works from the outside into the inside, yet the Lord works in an opposite direction, from the inside to the outside. One day the Lord entered into our spirit, which is the center and hub of our whole being, and made this spirit his dwelling place (Rom. 8:16, 2 Tim. 4:22, 1 Cor. 6:17). From his abode in our spirit, the Lord works outwardly toward our soul, but Satan works toward our soul in our body.
Now we can see there are three parties: God, man and Satan are all within man. In the Garden of Eden, Adam faced two choices: the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. In today’s church, the tree of knowledge is in our body and the tree of life is in our spirit. Both sources are within us now. We need to realize we are complicated persons due to these three parties within us, and we need to know human beings have three parts: spirit, soul and body. Did you know that Satan has taken up a dwelling place in your body, that is your flesh? Did you know that the Lord has also taken up a dwelling place in your spirit? Between the spirit and the body there is the soul, which is the self. Your self live in your soul. Consequently, Satan lives in your body, the Lord Jesus lives in your spirit and you live in your soul, which creates a very complicated situation! Before you were saved, you were not that complicated; you were uncomplicated because you had been following Satan. However, the day you believed in the Lord Jesus, a battle began. It is a continuous battle owning to three inhabitants within you: Satan in your body, Christ in your spirit and your self in your soul. It is possible that you have some difficulties today which are caused by the complicated situation within you.
