2025-04-11 周五 福音对神是生命的流露(二)

经文:你们若住在我里面,我的话也住在你们里面,凡你们所愿意的,祈求就给你们成就。你们多结果子,我父就因此得荣耀,你们也就是我的门徒了。(约十五7-8,另译)

我们真巴不得重新在主面前有奉献,等候主的光照,蒙主的洁净,然后我们要对主说,“主,我所奉献在这里的,都是要归给你的,求你接受,求你得着。”我们要一件又一件,从我们里面,好像点交给主一样,奉献在主手中。藉着这样主权的转移,我们就将自己彻底炼净,而能有空房为着祂,让祂充满。这样对付的结果,定规是圣灵的充满。不管你是否觉得圣灵临到你身上,实际上并没有多少的不同,其价值都是一样的。你若在主面前有真实地奉献,厉害的蒙主光照,彻底的接受主的洁净,让主一点一点的得着你;请记得,那个得着就是属灵的焚烧,那个焚烧就是圣灵的浇灌,也就是圣灵的充满。一面,圣灵是烈火,在那里焚烧你;一面,圣灵是膏油,在那里充满你。当你有这样的信心时,你定规有一种满溢的光景,能把福音从你身上满溢出去。

我们看见过许多人传福音,但传福音有其程度上的不同;花过属灵争战工夫的传福音,和没有花过这工夫的传福音不同;在主面经过对付,而让圣灵一点一点得着的人,和没有这样在神面前对付,没有让圣灵得着的人,其间大有分别。我们虽然能够热心,能够定意、奔跑,竭尽所能带人归主;但请记得,连带人归主之后那个结果,也大有分别。

The Gospel as the Outflow of Life to God (2) – John 15:7-8

We truly hope to once again consecrate ourselves before the Lord, waiting for His shining, receiving His cleansing, and then saying to Him, “Lord, all that I consecrate here is for You – please accept and receive it.” We should present item after item from within us, handing them over to the Lord, as if making a detailed inventory before Him. Through such a transfer of sovereignty, we are thoroughly purified, making room within us for Him to fill. The result of such dealings is surely the filling of the Holy Spirit. Whether or not you feel any dramatic change when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, the value is the same. If you have truly consecrated yourself before the Lord, have been deeply enlightened by Him, thoroughly cleansed by Him, and have allowed Him to gain you little by little – please remember, His gaining is a spiritual burning. That burning is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, which is the filling of the Holy Spirit. On one hand, the Holy Spirit is a consuming fire burning within you; on the other hand, the Holy Spirit is the anointing oil filling you. When you have such faith, you will surely have an overflowing condition that allows the gospel to flow out abundantly from you.

We have seen many preach the gospel, but there are differences in degree. Gospel preaching that has been prepared through spiritual warfare is different from that which has not. Those who have gone through dealings before the Lord and allowed the Holy Spirit to gain them bit by bit are very different from those who have not had such dealings or yielded themselves to the Spirit. Although we may be zealous, determined and may strive to bring people to the Lord with all our strength – please remember, even the outcome of leading people to the Lord will differ significantly.
