总题：基督七倍加强的天上职事
第三篇　产生得胜者（一）
Message Three To Produce the Overcomers (1)
壹　因着召会的堕落，几乎所有在基督里的信徒都被击败，失去对经过过程之三一神的享受，（参林后十三14，）并被撒但借着罪、己、世界和肉体所败坏─约壹三8，太十六24，约壹二15，加一4，五16。
I.　Through the degradation of the church nearly all the believers in Christ became defeated in the enjoyment of the processed Triune God (cf. 2 Cor. 13:14) and corrupted by Satan through sin, self, the world, and their flesh (1 John 3:8; Matt. 16:24; 1 John 2:15; Gal. 1:4; 5:16).
贰　基督在祂写给堕落召会的七封书信里，呼召失败的信徒，凭祂这七倍加强的灵作祂的得胜者，使他们凭着祂的七倍加强，经历祂生机的救恩─启二7，11，17，26~28，三5，12，20~21。
II.　In His seven epistles to the degraded churches, Christ calls the defeated believers to be His overcomers by Himself as the sevenfold intensified Spirit for their experience of His organic salvation in His sevenfold intensification (Rev. 2:7, 11, 17, 26-28; 3:5, 12, 20-21).
叁　基督作为七倍加强的灵产生得胜者，乃是借着拯救他们脱离与召会堕落有关的事物：
III.　Christ as the sevenfold intensified Spirit produces the overcomers by saving them from the things related to the degradation of the church:
一　基督这七倍加强的灵作工，要拯救在以弗所召会中的信徒，使他们脱离形式化的召会生活，这种召会生活已经失去了对主起初的爱、灯台照耀的性能、以及对基督作生命的享受：
A.　Christ as the sevenfold intensified Spirit works to save the believers in Ephesus from the formal church life, which had lost the first love toward the Lord, the shining capacity of the lampstand, and the enjoyment of Christ as life:
1　在召会生活里，我们需要的是真实，而不是形式：
1.　In the church life, we need to be genuine not formal:
a　真实就是在灵里，并在灵里作每一件事─罗八4。
a.　To be genuine is to be in the spirit and do everything in the spirit—Rom. 8:4.
b　凡不运用灵而有的行动，都是外面的、浮浅的、也是虚假的─犹19，注2。
b.　Any activity without the exercise of the spirit is outward, shallow, and also false—Jude 19, note 2.
2　我们必须恢复失去的起初的爱，而在凡事上让基督居首位，使基督在我们的生活中成为一切─西一18下。
2.　We need to recover the loss of the first love by giving Christ the preeminence in everything, making Christ everything in our life—Col. 1:18b.
3　我们也必须维持吃基督作生命树─启二7。
3.　We need to maintain the eating of Christ as the tree of life—Rev. 2:7.
4　这会使我们在召会时代的黑夜里，团体的而不是个别的作灯台，照耀出神圣的光，在我们所在的地方作耶稣的见证，恨恶尼哥拉党的行为─启二5~6。
4.　This will cause us to shine forth the divine light as the lampstand, corporately versus individualistically, in the dark night of the church age to be the testimony of Jesus in our locality in our hating the works of the Nicolaitans—Rev. 2:5-6.
二　基督这七倍加强的灵作工，要加力量给在士每拿召会中受苦的信徒，使他们借着殉道胜过逼迫，好叫他们得着赏赐，在国度时代期间不尝到第二次的死─启二8~11：
B.　Christ as the sevenfold intensified Spirit works to strengthen the suffering believers in the church in Smyrna to overcome the persecution by being martyred so that they would be rewarded not to taste the second death during the kingdom age—Rev. 2:8-11:
1　基督情感的爱困迫我们，使我们为祂而活而死─林后五14~15，罗十四7~9。
1.　Christ's love of affection constrains us to live and to die for Him— 2 Cor. 5:14-15; Rom. 14:7-9.
2　基督的爱，使信徒成为祂的殉道者─启二10，十二11，罗八35~37。
2.　Christ's love makes the believers martyrs for Him—Rev. 2:10; 12:11; Rom. 8:35-37.
3　荣耀的灵和神的灵，安息在受苦的信徒身上─彼前四14。
3.　The Spirit of glory and of God rests upon the suffering believers— 1 Pet. 4:14.
4　我们越为主受逼迫并成为贫穷，我们在基督里就越丰富─启二9，林后六10。
4.　The more we are persecuted and suffer poverty for the Lord, the richer we are in Christ—Rev. 2:9; 2 Cor. 6:10.
5　至死忠信的人要得着生命的冠冕，就是得胜的力量，也就是复活生命的大能─启二10，腓三10。
5.　Those who are faithful unto death will receive the crown of life, the overcoming strength which is the power of the resurrection life—Rev. 2:10; Phil. 3:10.
三　基督这七倍加强的灵作工，要圣化在别迦摩召会中的信徒，使他们脱离与世界的联合，并脱离巴兰和尼哥拉党的教训，而作得胜者，好叫他们得着赏赐，在国度时代得吃隐藏的吗哪，并得着一块上面写着新名的白石─启二12~17：
C.　Christ as the sevenfold intensified Spirit works to sanctify the believers in the church in Pergamos from the union with the world and from the teachings of Balaam and the Nicolaitans to be the overcomers so that they might be rewarded to eat the hidden manna and to have a white stone upon which a new name would be written in the kingdom age—Rev. 2:12-17:
1　当召会走世界的路时，得胜者进前来，住在至圣所神的面光中，在那里享受隐藏的基督这特别的一分，作他们每日的供应─启二17上，约六57。
1.　While the church goes the way of the world, the overcomers come forward to abide in the presence of God in the Holy of Holies, where they enjoy the hidden Christ as a special portion for their daily supply—Rev. 2:17a; John 6:57.
2　如果我们不跟随属世的召会，而在正当的召会生活中享受主，我们就要变化成为石头，为着神的建造─启二17下，林后三18。
2.　If we do not follow the worldly church but enjoy the Lord in the proper church life, we will be transformed into stones for the building of God—Rev. 2:17b; 2 Cor. 3:18.
