晨興餧養
約十二31 『現在這世界受審判,這世界的王要被趕出去。』
啟十二10 『我聽見天上有大聲音說,我們神的救恩、能力、國度、並祂基督的權柄,現在都來到了,因為那在我們神面前晝夜控告我們弟兄們的控告者,已經被摔下去了。』
男孩子被提到天上以後,爭戰就開始了。我年輕的時候,就尋求要明白,為甚麼男孩子被提到寶座以後,爭戰就立刻開始?又想知道,為甚麼男孩子沒有實際的爭戰,而是米迦勒和他的使者與撒但爭戰?原因乃是:男孩子是執行者,執行者無須動手,只須發令。當我們這班執行者發令後,那些服侍我們的天使就會為我們爭戰。…當我們說,『撒但,走開!』米迦勒就領頭與撒但爭戰。…你願意作那婦人較剛強的部分麼?若願意,就必須學習向撒但傳講。撒但一直攪擾你,但只要你決定向他傳講,他就會跑開,因為他知道你要作甚麼。因此,你要說,『撒但,別走,等我叫你離開你再離開,留在這裏聽我講完了再走。』(啟示錄生命讀經,五二六頁。)
信息選讀
天使已經準備好了要與龍爭戰。或許米迦勒甚至要說,『男孩子,上來罷!向我們發令,我們就執行。』然而,我們若想彀資格到諸天之上對撒但執行審判,如今在地上就要開始對他執行審判。我們要說,『撒但,我不會放你過去,我要捆綁你,打敗你。』
因著男孩子被提到天上,天上就起了爭戰。…被提不只是為著我們,更是為著神的經綸和神的戰略。神的仇敵如今還在天上。雖然他已受了審判,判決也宣告了,但在已過的十九個世紀裏,神還沒有得著一班人,可以在仇敵身上執行祂的判決。神的仇敵撒但,已經被主耶穌在十字架上審判了。(約十二31,十六11。)…得勝的信徒和撒但爭戰,實際上就是執行主對撒但的審判。至終,藉著他們的爭戰,撒但要從天上被摔下去。(啟十二9。)誰能到天上去執行神的審判,命令那已被定罪、審判、判決的仇敵離開天上?天使作不到,…因為他們是天使,撒但以前也在他們中間,與他們有同等地位,所以他們沒有地位作這事。神需要一個人來完成這工作,人子耶穌就是這人的頭。祂是男孩子的頭,也是所有得勝者的先鋒。神需要這樣的人來執行祂對撒但的判決。神為著這個人等待好久了。
我們必須被提到諸天之上,以滿足神的需要。…宗教就是為叫人快樂,盼望死後在樂土裏過好日子。這是出於魔鬼的思想。然而,可歎的,這種觀念已經滲透了整個基督教。…我們需要被提到天上,但不是為我們的快樂,乃是為完成神的定旨。我們必須到天上去執行神對祂仇敵的審判,今天神正等待這個。
男孩子復活,被提到天上以後,就不容撒但再留在諸天之上。就是在今天,我們也不該容撒但在召會中;我們應當和他爭戰。你若今天與撒但爭戰,將來就彀資格在諸天之上與他爭戰。我們被提到神的寶座以後,就會看到撒但,他也要懼怕我們。我們看到他的時候,必不容他繼續留在那裏,我們會對他說,『撒但,你還想留在我們神的聖所裏麼?這不是你的地方。撒但,你必須走開!』(啟示錄生命讀經,五二六、五二二至五二三、五二八至五二九頁。)

WEEK 44 — DAY 3
Morning Nourishment
John 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world; now shall the ruler of this world be cast out.
Rev. 12:10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, Now has come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ, for the accuser of our brothers has been cast down, who accuses them before our God day and night.
As soon as the man-child is raptured to heaven, the war begins. When I was young, I sought to understand why this war will start immediately after the man-child is raptured to the throne. I also wanted to know why the manchild did not actually fight but that the fighting was done by Michael and his angels. The reason is that the man-child is the executor, and the executor does not need to fight. Rather, he simply gives the word. After we, the executor, give the word, the angels who serve us will fight for us…When we say, “Satan, go away,” Michael will take the lead to fight against him…Are you willing to be in the stronger part of the woman? If you are, then you must learn to preach to Satan. Satan has constantly been troubling you, but after you decide to preach to him, he may run away, for he knows what you intend to do. Thus, you need to say, “Satan, don’t go yet. You are not allowed to leave until I command you to do so. Stay here until I am through speaking to you.” (Life-study of Revelation, pp. 431-432)
Today’s Reading
The angels are ready to war against the dragon. Michael might even be saying, “Man-child, come up here and give us the word. We’ll carry it out.” But if we would be qualified to be there in the heavens to execute judgment upon Satan, we must begin to execute the judgment upon him now on earth. Say, “Satan, I will not let you go. I will bind and defeat you.”
There
will be war in heaven because of the man-child’s rapture to heaven…The
rapture is not only for us; it is for God’s economy and for God’s
strategy. God’s enemy is still in the heavens. This enemy has been
judged, and his sentence has been pronounced, but during the past
nineteen centuries God has not had those who could execute His sentence
upon the enemy. Satan, the enemy of God, was judged by the Lord Jesus on
the cross (John 12:31; 16:11)…The war waged by the overcoming believers
against Satan is actually the executing of the Lord’s judgment upon
him. Eventually, through their fighting, he is cast out of heaven
(Rev. 12:9). Who will go to heaven to execute God’s judgment and command
the condemned, judged, and sentenced enemy to depart?…The angels lack
the position to do this because, being angels, they are on the same
level as Satan who formerly was among them. God needs a man to
accomplish this. This man has a Head—the man Jesus. He is the Head of
the man-child, the Pioneer of all the overcomers. God needs such a man
to execute His sentence upon Satan. God has been waiting a long time for
this man.
We
must be raptured to the heavens to fulfill God’s need…Religion is for
human happiness, for having a good life in a merry land after we die.
This thought is devilish. But, alas, this concept has infiltrated all of
Christianity… We need to be raptured to heaven not for our happiness
but for the fulfilling of God’s purpose. We must go there to execute
God’s judgment upon His enemy. God is waiting for this.
After
the man-child has been resurrected and raptured to heaven, he will not
tolerate to see Satan in the heavens. Even today we should not tolerate
to see Satan in the church but should fight against him. If you fight
against Satan today, you will be qualified to fight against him in the
heavens. After we have been raptured to the throne of God, we will see
Satan, and he will be terrified of us. When we see him, we will not
tolerate his presence there, and we will say, “Satan, are you still in
our God’s sanctuary? This is not your place. Satan, you must go.”
