保羅的完成職事(32):神兒女的生命長大_34
腓一 19『因為我知道，這事借着你們的祈求，和耶穌基督之靈全備的供應，終必叫我得救。』
四 6『應當一無□慮，只要凡事借着禱告、祈求，帶着感謝，將你們所要的告訴神。』
信徒這樣變化成為與主同樣的形像，乃是從主靈，就是基督所變成賜生命的靈，所變化成的。這靈里包含有全備的供應，作我們新的成分。保羅說，他是憑耶穌基督之靈全備的供應，活基督並顯大基督（腓一 19~21 上）。我們若是憑我們天然的生命活着，就不會有變化，不會顯大基督。但我們有耶穌基督之靈全備的供應在我們裡面；這全備的供應乃是一個成分，進到我們這個人裡面，就在我們裡面起新陳代謝的作用，結果就顯於外面。人就要看見，從我們身上所顯出來的，不是我們自己，乃是基督。我們必須享受耶穌基督之靈全備的供應，讓這靈在我們裡面作工，這就是變化（神救恩生機的一面，五四至五五頁）。
假設你和一位弟兄同住，這位弟兄天天晨興、禱告、讀主的話、默想主的話，過一段時間，你必會看出他身上有變化。我通常清晨四、五點鐘就醒過來，我就默想主的話。這時，聖靈來了，亮光就來了；我碰着是靈的主，他的成分就進入我裡面，在我裡面產生新陳代謝的作用。這就如同我們吃了正當的食物，得着正當的成分進到我們裡面，經過消化和吸收，食物的成分就成為我們的成分，使我們容光煥發，精神十足，這就是新陳代謝的作用。你若是天天碰着主，讓主的成分進入你裡面，自然就會有新陳代謝在你裡面發生，使你變化，至終像主一樣。
我們生活中有問題，不必去問別人，因為我們裡面有靈，並且主就是那靈，在我們靈里，對我們是何等親近。我們凡事都可以問問他，…他就在我們裡面和我們談話。你可以凡事和他談一談，商量一下。主的話說，『應當一無□慮，只要凡事借着禱告、祈求，帶着感謝，將你們所要的告訴神。』（腓四 6）因此，你有難處只要告訴他，他就在你裡面，面對面與你同在。父、子、靈三一神在我們裡面，不是麻煩我們，乃是作我們的保惠師、安慰者、扶持者。我常常禱告說，『主阿，我現在要去走路了，求你支持我，維持我，還要加我力量。』這就是喝主。這樣，我就沒有□慮。□慮一來了，你就要說，『主啊，這□慮是你的，不是我的；我交給你了，因為你替我□慮。』這樣，你就在裡面得着主的成分，你裡面就會常常起新陳代謝的作用，結果你外面顯出來的就是基督。這就是活基督。不知道這秘訣的人，以為活基督是很
難的事；其實你只要操練常與主說話，你自然就會活基督（神救恩生機的一面，五五至五六頁）。
我們的禱告，不需要乞求神為我們作甚麼。我們只要告訴他我們所需要的，也就是說，我們應當讓他知道，而不把任何事留在我們自己裡面。我們若有甚麼煩惱或□慮，我們就應當告訴他。我們讓他知道，乃是我們向着他的動作。然後，甚至在答應我們所要的之先，他的反應就是他的分賜，將他自己與我們調和。這種神性與人性的調和，是兩個實體的調和，就是神聖實體與人性實體的調和（生命的經歷與長大，一一八頁）。

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)
