晨興餧養

啓五6『我又看見寶座與四活物中間,並眾長老中間,有羔羊站立,像是剛被殺過的,有七角和七眼,就是神的七靈,奉差遣往全地去的。』

十九7『我們要喜樂歡騰,將榮耀歸與祂;因爲羔羊婚娶的時候到了,新婦也自己豫備好了。』

我要請求你們思想『加強』這件事,並迫切的禱告,說,『主,我必須往前。我需要你的恩典帶我往前。我不要留在成肉體的工作裏,甚至不要留在總括的工作裏。我要從總括往前到加強。主,你已經七倍加強了,我禱告我也要得着七倍加強,以勝過召會的墮落,使你的身體得以建造起來,以完成新耶路撒冷。』(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第四册,二四五頁。)

信息選讀

我們得救脫離墮落,是藉着無限、釋放生命、七倍加強是靈之基督(有七靈作祂眼目的羔羊—啓五6)的說話。…七靈是基督的眼睛,指明七靈與基督是一。…在〔啓示錄二至三章每一封給召會〕書信的開頭是基督說話,末了是那靈說話。這表明基督就是那靈。…勝過墮落是藉着那些活在他們靈裏之得勝聖徒的參與。(一10,四2,十七3,二一10。)一面,我們的得勝是藉着基督的說話成爲那靈的說話。另一面,這是藉着我們一直活在我們的靈裏。

基督七倍加強的天上職事,是爲着把新婦完全豫備好,使新郎基督照着祂的喜悅,在千年國裏得着凱旋的婚筵,作祂的滿足。(十九7 ~ 9。)…基督七倍加強的天上職事,也是爲着組成新婦軍隊,使基督擊敗並毀滅祂在人類中最大的仇敵,就是敵基督和他的假申言者。(11 ~ 21,十七14。)要來的敵基督和他的假申言者乃是基督在人類中的仇敵,攻擊基督到極點。他們要帶着軍隊面對面的攻擊基督。但基督和祂的新婦要毀滅他們,把他們扔到火湖裏。

基督七倍加強的天上職事,是爲着捆綁撒但,把他扔在無底坑裏一千年。(二十1 ~ 3。)…基督七倍加強的天上職事,也是爲着帶進基督和神的國,就是千年國。(4 ~ 6。)

最終,基督七倍加強的天上職事,是爲着在千年國裏初步的完成新耶路撒冷,(二7,)並在新天新地裏完滿的完成新耶路撒冷。(二一2。)換句話說,新耶路撒冷要得着終極完成,首先是藉着得勝者小規模的在起初部分的一千年裏,然後是完滿規模的在永世裏。所有的信徒經過一千年的管教,都要成熟、變化並模成,有分於永世裏的新耶路撒冷。

最終的結果乃是在救贖的神與蒙祂救贖的人之間宇宙的羅曼史中,終極完成的那靈作經過過程之三一神的終極完成,成了新郎,而得勝聖徒的集大成,成了新婦,作爲整本聖經的總結。(二二17。)整本聖經的總結是一對夫婦,就是救贖之神與蒙祂救贖之人宇宙羅曼史的總結。(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第四册,一八五至一八七頁。)

WEEK 9 — DAY 6

Morning Nourishment

Rev. 5:6 And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures and in the midst of the elders a Lamb standing as having just been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

     19:7 Let us rejoice and exult, and let us give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.

I would urge you to consider this matter of intensification and to pray desperately, saying, “Lord, I must advance. I need Your grace to bring me onward. I do not want to remain in the work of incarnation nor even in the work of inclusion. I want to advance from inclusion to intensification. Lord, You have been intensified sevenfold, and I pray that I also will be intensified sevenfold to overcome the degradation of the church that the Body may be built up to consummate the New Jerusalem.” (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 4, “Incarnation, Inclusion, and Intensification,” p. 197)

Today's Reading

We are saved from degradation by the speaking of the unlimited, lifereleasing,
sevenfold intensified pneumatic Christ (the Lamb with the seven Spirits as His eyes—Rev. 5:6)…The seven Spirits’ being the eyes of Christ indicates that They are one with Christ…At the beginning of each epistle [to the seven churches (chs. 2-3)], Christ is speaking, and at the end the Spirit is speaking. This shows that Christ is the Spirit. The overcoming of the degradation is by the participation of the overcoming saints who are living in their spirit (1:10; 4:2; 17:3; 21:10). On the one hand, our overcoming is by Christ’s speaking becoming the Spirit’s speaking. On the other hand, it is by our living in our spirit all the time.

Christ’s sevenfold intensified heavenly ministry is for the complete preparation of the bride for Christ the Bridegroom to have His triumphant wedding in the millennium for His satisfaction according to His good pleasure (19:7-9). Christ’s sevenfold intensified heavenly ministry is also for the formation of the bridal army for Christ to defeat and destroy His top enemies in humanity, the Antichrist and his false prophet (vv. 11-21; 17:14). The coming Antichrist and his false prophet will be human enemies of Christ, attacking Christ to the uttermost. They will fight face to face with an army against Christ. But Christ and His bride will destroy them and throw them into the lake of fire.

Christ’s sevenfold intensified heavenly ministry is for the binding of Satan and the casting of him into the abyss for one thousand years (20:1-3). Christ’s sevenfold intensified heavenly ministry is also for the bringing in of the kingdom of Christ and of God, which will be the millennium (vv. 4-6).

Ultimately, Christ’s sevenfold intensified heavenly ministry is for the initial consummation of the New Jerusalem in the millennium (2:7) and its full consummation in the new heaven and new earth (21:2). In other words, the New Jerusalem will be consummated by the overcomers first in the initial part in the thousand years on a small scale and then in eternity on a full scale. All the believers, through the discipline of the one thousand years, will be matured, transformed, and conformed to participate in the New Jerusalem in eternity.

The final outcome is that the ultimately consummated Spirit as the consummation of the processed Triune God becomes the Bridegroom, and the aggregate of the overcoming saints becomes the bride of the universal romance between the redeeming God and His redeemed man as the conclusion of the entire Scriptures (22:17). The conclusion of the entire Bible is a couple, which is the consummation of the universal romance of the redeeming God and His redeemed man. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 4, “The Divine and Mystical Realm,” pp. 148-149)
