保罗的完成职事(32):神儿女的生命长大_34
腓一 19『因为我知道，这事借着你们的祈求，和耶稣基督之灵全备的供应，终必叫我得救。』
四 6『应当一无□虑，只要凡事借着祷告、祈求，带着感谢，将你们所要的告诉神。』
信徒这样变化成为与主同样的形像，乃是从主灵，就是基督所变成赐生命的灵，所变化成的。这灵里包含有全备的供应，作我们新的成分。保罗说，他是凭耶稣基督之灵全备的供应，活基督并显大基督（腓一 19~21 上）。我们若是凭我们天然的生命活着，就不会有变化，不会显大基督。但我们有耶稣基督之灵全备的供应在我们里面；这全备的供应乃是一个成分，进到我们这个人里面，就在我们里面起新陈代谢的作用，结果就显於外面。人就要看见，从我们身上所显出来的，不是我们自己，乃是基督。我们必须享受耶稣基督之灵全备的供应，让这灵在我们里面作工，这就是变化（神救恩生机的一面，五四至五五页）。
假设你和一位弟兄同住，这位弟兄天天晨兴、祷告、读主的话、默想主的话，过一段时间，你必会看出他身上有变化。我通常清晨四、五点钟就醒过来，我就默想主的话。这时，圣灵来了，亮光就来了；我碰着是灵的主，他的成分就进入我里面，在我里面产生新陈代谢的作用。这就如同我们吃了正当的食物，得着正当的成分进到我们里面，经过消化和吸收，食物的成分就成为我们的成分，使我们容光焕发，精神十足，这就是新陈代谢的作用。你若是天天碰着主，让主的成分进入你里面，自然就会有新陈代谢在你里面发生，使你变化，至终像主一样。
我们生活中有问题，不必去问别人，因为我们里面有灵，并且主就是那灵，在我们灵里，对我们是何等亲近。我们凡事都可以问问他，…他就在我们里面和我们谈话。你可以凡事和他谈一谈，商量一下。主的话说，『应当一无□虑，只要凡事借着祷告、祈求，带着感谢，将你们所要的告诉神。』（腓四 6）因此，你有难处只要告诉他，他就在你里面，面对面与你同在。父、子、灵三一神在我们里面，不是麻烦我们，乃是作我们的保惠师、安慰者、扶持者。我常常祷告说，『主阿，我现在要去走路了，求你支持我，维持我，还要加我力量。』这就是喝主。这样，我就没有□虑。□虑一来了，你就要说，『主啊，这□虑是你的，不是我的；我交给你了，因为你替我□虑。』这样，你就在里面得着主的成分，你里面就会常常起新陈代谢的作用，结果你外面显出来的就是基督。这就是活基督。不知道这秘诀的人，以为活基督是很
难的事；其实你只要操练常与主说话，你自然就会活基督（神救恩生机的一面，五五至五六页）。
我们的祷告，不需要乞求神为我们作甚么。我们只要告诉他我们所需要的，也就是说，我们应当让他知道，而不把任何事留在我们自己里面。我们若有甚么烦恼或□虑，我们就应当告诉他。我们让他知道，乃是我们向着他的动作。然后，甚至在答应我们所要的之先，他的反应就是他的分赐，将他自己与我们调和。这种神性与人性的调和，是两个实体的调和，就是神圣实体与人性实体的调和（生命的经历与长大，一一八页）。

Phil. 1:19 "For I know that for
me this will turn out to salvation through your petition and the bountiful
supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ."
4:6 "In nothing be anxious,
but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests
be made known to God."
It is from the Lord Spirit, that is, from Christ as the life-giving
Spirit, that the believers are being transformed into the same image as the
Lord. This Spirit contains the bountiful supply to be our new element. Paul
said that he lived Christ and magnified Christ by the bountiful supply of the
Spirit of Jesus Christ (Phil. 1:19-21a). If we live by our natural life, we
cannot be transformed and we cannot magnify Christ. The bountiful supply of the
Spirit of Jesus Christ is an element in us. When this bountiful supply comes
into us, it begins the inner process of metabolism and issues in an outward
manifestation. People will see that what is manifested through us is not
ourselves but Christ. We must enjoy the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus
Christ and allow Him to work in us. This is transformation. (The Organic Aspect
of God's Salvation, p. 54)
Suppose you and another brother live together. Every day that brother
has morning revival, prays, reads the Bible, and meditates on the Lord's word.
After a period of time, you will surely notice some transformation in him. I am
usually awake early in the morning at four or five o'clock, and I just muse on
the Lord's word. Then the Holy Spirit comes, and the light comes. When I touch Christ
as the Spirit, His element comes into me, and it issues in a metabolic function
in me. This is similar to the metabolism in our body. After we eat some proper
food and receive some proper element into us, the elements of the food become
our element through digestion and assimilation so that we look so radiant and
so energetic. If you touch the Lord day by day and allow His element to come
into you, metabolism will spontaneously transpire in you
so that you may be transformed and
eventually be like the Lord.
When we have problems in our daily life, we do not have to seek advice
from others, because we have a spirit in us and the Lord as the Spirit dwelling
in our spirit is very near to us. We can ask Him about everything,...for He can
talk with us right within us. You can talk with Him and confer with Him in
everything. The Lord's Word says,"In nothing be anxious, but in
everything,
by prayer and petition with
thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God" (Phil. 4:6). Hence,
if you have some problem, you just need to tell Him. He is right within you,
and He is with you face to face. The Triune God─the Father, the Son,
and the Spirit─is
in us not to trouble us but to be our Paraclete, Comforter, Supporter. I always
pray,"O Lord, now I am going to take a walk. Support me, sustain me, and
strengthen me." This is to drink the Lord. In this way I have no anxiety.
When anxiety comes, you should say,"O Lord, this anxiety is Yours, not
mine; I give it to You because You bear it for me." Thus, you receive the
Lord's element into you, and metabolism will work constantly in you.
Consequently, what is expressed through you outwardly is Christ. This is to
live Christ. Those who do not know this secret consider to live Christ a
difficult thing. Actually, you just need to practice speaking with the Lord
constantly; then spontaneously you will live Christ. (The Organic Aspect of
God's Salvation, pp. 54-55)
We do not need to pray in the way of begging God to do things for us. We
should just tell Him what we need; that is, we should let Him know, not keeping
anything within ourselves. If we have any worry or anxiety, we should just tell
Him. Our letting Him know is our motion toward Him. Then His response is His
dispensing, His mingling of Himself with us, even before He answers our
request. This mingling of divinity with humanity is the mingling of two
entities, the divine entity and the human entity. (The Experience and Growth in
Life, p. 94)
