要因应这种情形，人都认为最好的办法，就是能有一个有恩赐的人起来说，‘感谢赞美主！我这里有一篇好资讯。’人听了必定个个都喜欢。结果每个主日就由这个有恩赐的人讲一篇好道，其他人只是来听。听了一年、二年、十年、三十年，越听越死，越听越不会尽功用。
不应是一人讲众人听，乃应是人人尽功用。然而要尽功用，就得享受神作生命。这才是信徒聚会与事奉的正路。
我们的主是可吃的，也是可喝的。我们是借着主的话吃主，并且借着呼求主名来喝主。以赛亚十二章三至四节说，‘所以你们必从救恩的泉源欢然取水。……当称谢耶和华，求告他的名。’这里求告主名是联于喝救恩的泉源。从救恩的泉源取水就是喝，喝的路就是呼求主名。这给我们看见，我们一求告主名，就喝了主。
这样的喝也包括了吃。比方小孩子喝奶就是吃；奶不只是饮料，也是食物。我们都有同样的经历，单单呼求主名不够，非得配上主的话不可。有时我们呼求：‘哦，主耶稣！哦，主耶稣！’就会喜乐得用主的话或者赞美，或者敬拜，或者感谢，如‘你是生命的粮，吃你的人必要因你活着！’这样又是呼求主名，又是享受主的话。呼求就是喝，享受话就是吃。因此，这样呼求、祷读，就是又吃又喝，吃、喝都有了。

Enjoying God Is the Right Way for Believers to Gather and Serve (3) — Isa. 12:3-4
To deal with this situation, everyone thinks the best solution is to have a gifted person stand up and say, “Thank and praise the Lord! I have a good message here.” Everyone who hears it will surely be pleased. As a result, every Lord’s Day this gifted person gives a good sermon, and the others just come to listen. After listening for one year, two years, ten years, thirty years, the more they listen, the more dead they become; the more they listen, the less they know how to function.
It should not be one person speaking and the crowd listening; rather, everyone should function. However, to function, one must enjoy God as life. This is the right way for believers to gather and serve.
Our Lord is edible and also drinkable. We eat the Lord through the Lord’s word, and we drink the Lord by calling on the Lord’s name. Isaiah 12:3-4 says, “Therefore you will joyously draw water from the springs of salvation…. Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name.” Here calling on the Lord’s name is connected with drinking from the springs of salvation. Drawing water from the springs of salvation is drinking, and the way to drink is to call on the Lord’s name. This shows us that when we call on the Lord’s name, we drink of the Lord.
This kind of drinking also includes eating. For example, when a child drinks milk, that is eating; milk is not only a beverage but also food. We all have the same experience — simply calling on the Lord’s name is not enough; it must be accompanied by the Lord’s word. Sometimes when we call, “Oh, Lord Jesus! Oh, Lord Jesus!” we become so joyful that we use the Lord’s word either to praise, or to worship or to give thanks, such as “You are the bread of life; he who eats You shall live because of You!” In this way, we are both calling on the Lord’s name and enjoying the Lord’s word. Calling is drinking, and enjoying the word is eating. Therefore, calling and pray-reading in this way is both eating and drinking; we have both eating and drinking.
