啟十二7~9 『天上起了爭戰,米迦勒和他的使者與龍爭戰,龍和牠的使者也爭戰,並沒有得勝,天上再沒有他們的地方。大龍就被摔下去,牠是那古蛇,名叫魔鬼,又叫撒但,是迷惑普天下的,牠被摔在地上…。』
男孩子被提到天上以後,米迦勒和他的使者就開始與撒但爭戰。〔啟十二7。〕這指明男孩子,就是神子民中較剛強的部分,總是從事與神仇敵撒但的爭戰。得勝者在地上不斷與撒但爭戰,甚至爭戰至死,並且把撒但打敗。如今天上正等待他們到達那裏,好進行爭戰,把撒但從天上摔下去。(啟示錄生命讀經,五二三頁。)
信息選讀
主已把擊敗仇敵最有效的方法指示了我們。我們所要作的,就是取用神的約,就是神的話,將主為我們所作成的,向撒但傳講。…每當我們的脾氣又要發作時,先不要管脾氣,要向撒但傳講。我們要到問題的源頭,就是撒但面前,向他傳講說,『撒但,你已經被釘在十字架上了。』你越向撒但傳講,你就越得釋放。
當男孩子生出來,被提到寶座那裏,他要說,『撒但,你在地上已被我打敗,你還要躲在天上麼?』…然後,男孩子會說,『撒但,你不應該再在這裏,出去!』男孩子一宣佈這話,天使長米迦勒就率領他的使者與龍爭戰。…神在諸天之上正等待著這個執行者。誰是執行者?就是我們這班男孩子!盼望我們都到那裏去向撒但傳講。但要在那裏作這事,我們必須先在地上打敗撒但。在地上打敗撒但後,我們要爭戰到天上,至終還要從天上爭戰到地上。現在當我們面對撒但時,就要向他講許多信息;以後到了天上遇見他時,還要再向他傳講。等到撒但被摔到地上破壞地的時候,我們還要下來對他說,『撒但,你還在這裏麼?我再向你講一篇道,現在就是你下無底坑的時候了。』然後,千年國以後,要再向撒但講第四篇道。那時,撒但要煽動人起來背叛神,而我們就要說,『撒但,聽我們說!這是我們的最後一篇道,現在你要到你命定的地方—火湖—去。』
你若想彀格有分於這事,現在就必須爭戰。不要無所謂。我盼望你…能強有力的向仇敵說,『撒但,你欺騙我多年,現在我…眼睛已被開啟,不能再無所謂了。撒但,你不僅是神的仇敵,也是我的仇敵。從今以後,我要絕對的為著主,再也不聽你的話了。』…你若這樣對撒但傳講,就會變成另一個人,並且很可能不久就包括在那婦人較剛強的部分裏。從現在開始,我們都要彀資格,裝備好,被成全,在那些被提到天上,對撒但執行審判的人中間。我們必須告訴仇敵說,『撒但,今天我在地上向你傳講,不久也要在天上向你傳講;隨後我會在地上見你,再次向你傳講;至終我要再向你講一篇信息,然後你就要被扔到火湖裏去。』
被提並非為著我們的快樂,乃是為著神的定旨。我們的神正等待著一班得勝者,就是男孩子,到天上去執行祂對仇敵的審判。能有分於此,是何等的權利!天使沒有地位享受這權利,我們卻有。現在我們都有立場說,『讚美主!我有地位可以作得勝者。』(啟示錄生命讀經,五二四至五二六頁。)

WEEK 44 — DAY 2
Morning Nourishment
Rev. 12:7-9 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels went to war with the dragon. And the dragon warred and his angels. And they did not prevail, neither was their place found any longer in heaven. And the great dragon was cast down, the ancient serpent, he who is called the Devil and Satan, he who deceives the whole inhabited earth; he was cast to the earth…
Immediately after the man-child is raptured to heaven, a war commences with Michael and his angels against Satan [Rev. 12:7]. This indicates that the man-child, the stronger part of God’s people, is always engaged in fighting God’s enemy, Satan. The overcomers have been fighting Satan continually, even unto death, and have defeated him on earth. But heaven is still waiting for them to arrive there so that a war may be waged to cast Satan out of heaven. (Life-study of Revelation, p. 430)
Today’s Reading
The Lord has shown us the most effective way to defeat the enemy. What we need to do is to take the covenant, the word of God, and preach to Satan regarding what the Lord has accomplished for us…When our temper is aroused, we should forget it and preach to Satan. Go to the source of the problem—Satan—and preach to him, saying, “Satan, you have been crucified on the cross.” The more you preach to Satan, the more you will be released.
When the man-child is delivered and is raptured to the throne, he will say, “Satan, you were defeated by me on earth. Are you still here hiding in the heavens?”…Then the man-child will say, “Satan, you should no longer be here! Get out!” As soon as this word is uttered by the man-child, Michael the archangel will lead all his angels to war against the dragon…God is waiting in the heavens for this executor. Who will be the executor? We, the man-child, will
be the executor. Let us go there to preach to Satan. Before we can do
this, however, we must first defeat him on earth. After defeating Satan
on earth, we will fight upward to heaven, and eventually, we will fight
downward to earth. Now as we confront Satan, we must give him many
messages. Later, we will go to the heavens, meet him there, and preach
to him again. Then after he has been cast down to earth to damage it, we
will descend and say to him, “Satan, are you still here? Let me give
you another sermon. Now is the time for you to go to the abyss.” Then
after the millennium there will be the fourth sermon given to Satan. At
that time Satan will instigate mankind to rebel against God. But we will
say, “Satan, listen to us. This is our last sermon. Now you must go to
your destination—the lake of fire.”
If
you would be qualified to participate in this, you must fight now. Do
not be indifferent. I hope…you will give a strong word to the enemy,
saying, “Satan, you have deceived me for years…My eyes have been opened,
and I see that I must no longer be indifferent. Satan, you are not only
God’s enemy— you are also my enemy. From now on, I will be absolute for
my Lord, and I will never listen to you.”…If you preach to Satan like
this, you will become another person and will probably soon be included
in the stronger part of the woman. Begin now to be qualified, equipped,
and perfected to be among those who will be raptured to heaven to
execute judgment upon Satan. We must tell the enemy, “Satan, I will
preach to you on earth today. Later, I will also give you a message in
the heavens. After that, I will see you on earth and preach to you once
more. Finally, I will give you one more message, and then you will be
cast into the lake of fire.”
The
rapture is not for our happiness; it is for God’s purpose. Our God is
waiting for the overcomers, the man-child, to go to heaven to execute
His judgment upon the enemy. What a privilege it is to share in this!
The angels are not positioned to share this privilege, but we are. Now
we have the ground to say, “Praise the Lord that I am in the position to
be an overcomer!” (Life-study of Revelation, pp. 430-431)
