Message Five The Word of God Growing, Multiplying, and Prevailing, Being Experienced in the Word of Righteousness, and the Need for the Speaking of God-constituted Persons
读经:徒六7,十二24,十九20,二十32,来五13~14,创四七7,四九28
Scripture Reading: Acts 6:7; 12:24; 19:20; 20:32; Heb. 5:13-14; Gen. 47:7; 49:28
壹 当基督身体的众肢体都为神说话,神的话就扩长、繁增且得胜─徒六7,十二24,十九20:
I. When all the members of the Body of Christ speak for God, the word of God grows, multiplies, and prevails—Acts 6:7; 12:24; 19:20:
一 在司提反死后,因着召会遭逼迫而分散的那些人,“就往各处去,传神的话为福音”─八4:
A. Following the death of Stephen, those who were scattered because of the persecution against the church "went throughout the land announcing the word"— 8:4:
1 我们今天所需要的,乃是众圣徒都讲说神的话;若是我们众人都这样说话,神的话必定扩长、繁增且得胜─六7,十二24,十九20。
1. What we need today is for all the saints to speak the word of God; if we all speak, the word of God will grow, multiply, and prevail—6:7; 12:24; 19:20.
2 至终,我们讲说神的话,会使主耶稣,就是神的话,来为祂的国争战─启十九11、13、16。
2. Eventually, our speaking the word of God will cause the Lord Jesus, the Word of God, to come and fight for His kingdom—Rev. 19:11, 13, 16.
二 撒但想要阻止信徒为神说话─徒五28、40。
B. Satan wants to prevent the believers from speaking for God—Acts 5:28, 40.
三 在行传六章七节,“扩长”这辞指生命的长大:
C. The word grew in Acts 6:7 refers to the growth in life:
1 神的话是生命的事,如同种子撒在人的心里而长大─可四14。
1. The word of God is a matter of life that grows as a seed sown into man's heart—Mark 4:14.
2 神的话是生命的种子;这种子是活的,一种下去就会生长、兴旺、扩长起来─彼前一23~25。
2. God's word is the seed of life; because this seed is living, once it is planted, it grows, increases, and spreads—1 Pet. 1:23-25.
3 神的话实际上就是主自己,因为话是主的容器;所以,神的话扩长,实际上就是主扩长─可四26~29,西二19,弗三17,四13、15~16。
3. The word of God is actually the Lord Himself because the word is the container of the Lord; thus, for the word of God to grow actually means that the Lord grows—Mark 4:26-29; Col. 2:19; Eph. 3:17; 4:13, 15-16.
四 在使徒行传里,神的话不仅扩长,而且繁增─十二24:
D. In Acts the word of God not only grew but also multiplied—12:24:
1 话不是自己扩长并繁增,乃是随着信徒扩长,随着召会繁增─六7,九31:
1. The word does not grow and multiply in itself but grows with the believers and multiplies with the churches—6:7; 9:31:
a 信徒扩长时,他们里面的话就扩长─西三16。
a. When the believers grow, the word within them grows—Col. 3:16.
b 召会繁增时,话就在召会里面繁增。
b. When the churches multiply, the word multiplies within the churches.
2 神的话日见扩长,越发繁增,这指明信徒与召会被话充满,且与话是一;这是主胜过那恶者有力的标记─16节。
2. The fact that the word of God grew and multiplied indicates that the believers and the churches were filled with the word and were one with the word; this is a strong sign of the Lord's victory over the evil one—v. 16.
五 我们要让神的话扩长、繁增且得胜,就需要享受神恩典的话;我们应当接受恩典的话,好使我们成为神的话,就是成为神的说话─徒十四3,二十32。
E. In order for the word of God to grow, multiply, and prevail, we need to enjoy the word of God's grace; we should receive the word of grace in such a way that we become God's word, that is, God's speaking—Acts 14:3; 20:32.
六 神的话若要扩长、繁增且得胜,我们就需要祷告,求神为话开门,叫神的话快快传开,且得荣耀,也使我们都放胆讲说神的话─西四3,帖后三1,徒四29、31。
F. If the word of God is to grow, multiply, and prevail, we need to pray that God would open a door for the word, that the word of God would run and be glorified, and that we all would speak the word of God with boldness—Col. 4:3; 2 Thes. 3:1; Acts 4:29, 31.
贰 我们需要对公义的话有经验─来五13~14:
II. We need to be experienced in the word of righteousness—Heb. 5:13-14:
一 公义的话是干粮;吃公义的话,是接受、经历并享受基督有力的一条路─13~14节。
A. The word of righteousness is solid food; to eat the word of righteousness is a strong way to receive, experience, and enjoy Christ—vv. 13-14.
二 公义的话说到现在的基督,现今在诸天之上作我们的执事和大祭司,供应我们属天的生命、恩典、权柄和能力,并维持我们在地上过属天的生活─四14~15,七26,八2:
B. The word of righteousness speaks of the present Christ, who is now in the heavens as our Minister and our High Priest, ministering to us the heavenly life, grace, authority, and power and sustaining us to live a heavenly life on earth—4:14-15; 7:26; 8:2:
1 我们要竭力前进,达到完全、成熟,就需要对公义的话有经验─六1,五13~14。
1. In order to be brought on to maturity, we need to be experienced in the word of righteousness—6:1; 5:13-14.
2 我们若在关于基督天上职事之公义的话上有操练,就会达到成熟,并得着奖赏;否则,我们就会遭受时代的刑罚─四11,六8,十35,十二25、28~29。
2. If we are exercised in the word of righteousness concerning the heavenly ministry of Christ, we will reach maturity and receive a reward; otherwise, we will suffer dispensational punishment—4:11; 6:8; 10:35; 12:25, 28-29.
三 公义的话,具体地说出神在祂的经纶并行政上,对待祂的子民所有公正公义的思想─五13:
C. The word of righteousness embodies the thought of God's justice and righteousness in His dispensational and governmental dealings with His people— 5:13:
1 义是照着神公义的要求,与人、事、物都是对的─太五20。
1. Righteousness is being right with persons, matters, and things according to God's righteous requirements—Matt. 5:20.
2 义是神国的事,因为义与神的管理、行政和管治有关─六33,诗八九14,赛三二1。
2. Righteousness is a matter of God's kingdom, for it is related to God's government, administration, and rule—6:33; Psa. 89:14; Isa. 32:1.
3 义是在我们里面与神是对的─林前十五34:
3. Righteousness is a matter of being right with God in our being—1 Cor. 15:34:
a 在我们里面与神是对的,乃是里面的人是透明并明亮如水晶的─里面的人是照着神的心思和意愿的─西一9,三1~2。
a. To be right with God in our being is to have an inner being that is transparent and crystal clear—an inner being in the mind and will of God—Col. 1:9; 3:1-2.
b 有这样的义,就是在基督里成为神的义─林后五21。
b. To be righteous in this way is to become the righteousness of God in Christ—2 Cor. 5:21.
四 我们需要对公义的话有经验,使我们得着为神说话所需要的话,甚至象挪亚一样,成为传扬义的人─来五11~14,彼后二5。
D. We need to be experienced in the word of righteousness so that we may have the words we need to speak for God, even being a herald of righteousness, as Noah was—Heb. 5:11-14; 2 Pet. 2:5.
叁 在今天的召会生活里,需要有神所构成之人的说话;这样的人乃是那些象雅各一样,在生命里成熟,能带着祝福说预言(申言)的人─创四九1~28,林后十三3,林前七25、40:
III. In the church life today, there is the need for the speaking of Godconstituted persons—those who have the maturity in life to prophesy with blessing, as Jacob did—Gen. 49:1-28; 2 Cor. 13:3; 1 Cor. 7:25, 40:
一 雅各成熟之最强的记号,乃是他祝福别人─创四七7、10:
A. The strongest sign of Jacob's maturity was his blessing others—Gen. 47:7, 10:
1 生命的丰满乃是祝福,就是神作为生命满溢到别人里面─四八14~16,来七7,约七38,约壹五16。
1. The fullness of life is blessing, which is the overflow of God as life into others—48:14-16; Heb. 7:7; John 7:38; 1 John 5:16.
2 在创世记四十九章里雅各带着祝福的预言,乃是成熟的表显,因为我们的说话总是表明我们在哪里,以及我们有多成熟;雅各说话的改变,表明他长大成熟了─林前三1~4,创二五31,二七19,四七7。
2. Jacob's prophesying with blessing in Genesis 49 is a manifestation of maturity, for our speaking always reveals where we are and how mature we are; the change in Jacob's speaking reveals his growth unto maturity— 1 Cor. 3:1-4; Gen. 25:31; 27:19; 47:7.
3 最终,雅各成了神所构成的人;因着他已经被神注入、充满并彻底浸透,他的话就是神的话,他的说话就是神的说话─四九1~28。
3. Eventually, Jacob became a God-constituted person; because he had been infused, saturated, and thoroughly permeated with God, his word was God's word, and his speaking was God's speaking—49:1-28.
二 我们若被神构成,就能带着祝福申言,将神作为生命满溢到别人里面─来六1,弗四13。
B. If we have been constituted with God, we will be able to prophesy with blessing, overflowing God as life into others—Heb. 6:1; Eph. 4:13.
三 当一个被神构成的人在灵里供应神的话时,表面是这个人在说话,事实上乃是神的儿子基督在说话;这位尽话语职事的人算不得什么,但从他口中出来的,乃是出自那位是一切者─林后十一10,十三3,林前七17~25、40,弗三8。
C. When a God-constituted person ministers the word of God in spirit, apparently it is he who is speaking, but actually it is Christ, the Son of God, speaking; this minister of the word is nothing, but out of his lips comes something from the One who is everything—2 Cor. 11:10; 13:3; 1 Cor. 7:17-25, 40; Eph. 3:8.
四 召会今天所需要的,乃是这样被神构成之人的说话─林后十三3。
D. What the churches need today is the speaking of such God-constituted persons— 2 Cor. 13:3.
