羅五21 『使罪怎樣在死中作王,恩典也照樣藉著義作王,叫人藉著我們的主耶穌基督得永遠的生命。』

八16  『那靈自己同我們的靈見證我們是神的兒女。』

羅馬八章五至六節給我們看見小型的伊甸園,一邊有肉體與死,另一邊有靈與生命,中間有心思。我們在甚麼範圍裏,在於我們將心思置於那裏。當我們的心思置於靈,我們的心思就滿了生命。我們也有平安,因為我們外在的行為與我們內裏的所是之間,並無不一致。這樣,當我們說話時,生命就具體化在我們的話語中,因為我們與主乃是一。(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第五冊,五三八頁。)

信息選讀

律法義的要求,乃是成就在那些照著調和之靈而行的人身上。(羅八4。)我們若努力作基督徒,我們就是在肉體裏。那是舊人想要遵守律法。作基督徒乃是照著裏面調和之靈行事為人,而活出神的生命。我們若看見這異象,放棄自己的努力,簡單的留在靈裏,另有一位就要在我們裏面活著。那靈總是照著神律法義的要求而行動。

我們乃是在生命中與恩典一同作王,管理萬有,而得永遠的生命。(五17下,21。)義給我們立場,來取用神作我們的恩典。我們可以說,『主,你不能不把你自己當作恩典給我,因為我站在我得稱義的立場上。你已經將基督當作恩賜給我,作我的義,我也站在這地位上。主,將你自己作為恩典賜給我,作我的享受。』恩典的意思是說,神所要求的,我們作不到,但三一神作得到。我們該有的所是,我們達不到,但有一位活在我們裏面,就是終極完成之靈作為恩典,祂能達到。我們有洋溢的恩典,在這恩典中我們就作王,而得永遠的生命。(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第五冊,五三八至五三九頁。)

一九四三年五月我…患了嚴重的肺病。…生命樹的信息…是我在病中二年半所看見的。…無論難處是在那一面,都是由於缺少生命。為著這點,我非常懊悔,在主面前有許多的認罪,和徹底的悔改,並在祂面前有對付。…『生命樹』的信息在南京救了許多人,也釋放了許多人;這些人…多年癟氣下沉,甚麼都不能作,這樣的信息,叫他們的靈得著了釋放,心也得著開啟。…感謝主,藉著生命樹的信息,也使上海召會得著了醫治。…乃是這個生命樹的信息,立定了一個基礎,使上海召會得著復興。(歷史與啟示,一六○、一六四至一六五、一六七、一七○至一七一頁。)

我們若要實際的走上享受神的路,就得厲害的轉一個觀念。…我們若要進入享受神的實際,非得對這件事有厲害的看見不可。…直到將近四十歲時,我纔蒙了主的眷顧,懂得這條享受神的路。因此,我非常懊喪,自己有二十年之久,大多的時間和力量都白白消耗了。那許多的禱告、讀經,以及所讀的屬靈書報,幾乎都沒有甚麼價值。…我自己既走過那條錯路,喫過大虧,就不願意你們再重蹈覆轍;並且盼望你們能走上這條享受神的路。我要鄭重的說,你們不該再走那條錯路,乃要看見已往那種追求有問題。我們必須在觀念上有個徹底的轉變;換句話說,我們需要有一個非常厲害的異象,一個非常厲害的看見。(生命樹與善惡樹的異象,六○至六一頁。)

Morning Nourishment

Rom. 5:21 In order that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

        8:16 The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God.

Romans 8:5-6 shows a miniature garden of Eden, with the flesh and death on one side, the spirit and life on the other side, and the mind in the middle. What realm we are in depends on where we set our mind. When our mind is set on the spirit, our mind is full of life. We also have peace because there is no discord between our outward behavior and our inner being. Then when we speak, life is embodied in our words because we are one with the Lord. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 5, “The Crystallization-study of the Complete Salvation of God in Romans,” p. 427)

Todays Reading

The righteous requirement of the law is fulfilled in those who walk according to the mingled spirit (Rom. 8:4). If we try to be a Christian, we are in the flesh. That is the old man trying to keep the law. Being a Christian is a living out of the life of God by walking according to the mingled spirit within. If we would see this vision, give up our effort, and simply be in the spirit, another One will live in us. The Spirit always acts according to the righteous requirements of God’s law.

We reign in life with grace over all things unto eternal life (5:17b, 21). Righteousness gives us the ground to claim God as our grace. We may say, “Lord, You cannot withhold Yourself from me as grace, because I stand on the ground of my justification. You have given Christ to me as my righteousness as a gift, and I stand on this position. Lord, give Yourself to me as grace for my enjoyment.” Grace means that we cannot do what God requires, but the Triune God can do it. We cannot be what we should be, but there is One living in us, the consummated Spirit as grace, who can be. We have an abundance of grace, and in this grace we reign unto eternal life. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 5, “The Crystallization-study of the Complete Salvation of God in Romans,” pp.
427-428)

In May of 1943…I had contracted a serious case of tuberculosis…I saw the tree of life during the two and a half years of my illness…Every kind of problem…is the result of a shortage of life. When I saw this, I was extremely remorseful, I confessed much and had a thorough repentance before the Lord, and I also had many dealings before Him…The messages on the tree of life saved many saints and also released many of the brothers and sisters in Nanking… The saints had been disheartened and depressed for years and were unable to do anything. These messages released their spirit and enlightened their heart… I thank the Lord that through the messages on the tree of life, the church in Shanghai was healed…The messages on the tree of life laid a foundation for the revival of the church in Shanghai. (CWWL, 1981, vol. 2, “The History and Revelation of the Lord’s Recovery, Part One,” pp. 124, 127, 129, 131-132)

If we want to take the way of enjoying God, we must have a change of concept…If we want to enter into the reality of the enjoyment of God, we must see a controlling vision…It was not until I was forty years of age that the Lord revealed to me the way of enjoying Him. I was disappointed that for twenty years most of my time and energy had been wasted. Most of my prayers were of no value, and the time that I had spent reading the Bible and other spiritual books was also of no value…Because I suffered a great loss from taking the wrong way, I do not want others to repeat the same mistake. I hope that others can take the way of enjoying God. I implore the saints to no longer take the wrong way. We should consider our former way of pursuit. We must have a drastic change of concept. We need to have a controlling vision. (CWWL, 1958, vol. 1, “The Vision of the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil,” p. 617.)
