晨興餧養

約十六13~15   只等實際的靈來了，祂要引導你們進入一切的實際；因為祂不是從自己說的，乃是把祂所聽見的都說出來，並要把要來的事宣示與你們。祂要榮耀我，因為祂要從我有所領受而宣示與你們。凡父所有的，都是我的…。

 

我們可能在早晨花時間與主在一起，享受祂的顯現，但後來我們可能對我們的配偶不高興，而失去了主向我們的顯現。但這並不是說，我們失去了住在我們裏面的那靈。有些基督徒覺得，當他們失去了耶穌的顯現時，他們就失去了他們的救恩；但這是不對的，因為那靈是一直住在信徒裏面的。那些相信他們可能失去他們救恩的人，事實上乃是相信『升降電梯式的救恩』。…但我們的救恩…乃是『樓梯』，我們絕不能從其上被挪去。我們雖然已在這樓梯上，我們仍要享受這樓梯最高部分的福分。…這就是為甚麼我們需要愛主耶穌，並且說，『主耶穌，我愛你。』當我們愛祂時，我們就被帶到頂層。然後我們就看見諸天之上的一切（李常受文集一九八八年第一冊，四一八至四一九頁）。

信息選讀

當我們愛祂的時候，不僅祂的靈住在我們裏面，祂自己也親自向我們顯現。這意思是說，當我們與所愛的那一位交通時，我們有祂的同在。如果我們愛耶穌，耶穌就愛我們，父也愛我們。當子親自向我們顯現時，父就與祂同來，同我們安排住處，與我們同住。我們需要更多被帶到子向我們的顯現裏，有父與子同我們安排住處。我們需要藉着愛主，而在主救恩的樓梯上往上去。然後主會親自向我們顯現，父與子會同我們安排住處，作我們的享受。

神聖三一向着信徒的神聖傳輸，啟示於約翰十六章十三至十五節。這個傳輸就像電流的傳輸。當電的開關接上時，就有了電流，就是電的流動，那個流動就是傳輸。第一，凡父所有的，都是子的（15）。這意思是說，父所有的都傳輸到子裏。第二，凡子所有的，都由那靈領受（14下）。這是這個傳輸的更進一步。父傳輸給子，然後又有從子到那靈的傳輸。第三，凡那靈從子所領受的，都向信徒宣示出來（13、15下）。最後，凡神聖三一的所是和所有，都是我們的。

詩歌三百八十二首第三節說到這個傳輸。這一節說，『凡父所有全由你承，凡你所是都歸於靈；靈進我靈作你實際，使你成為我的經歷。』…凡父所有的，都是子的，凡子所是的，都已經由那靈領受，然後那靈向我們宣示凡祂從子所領受的。這個傳輸是從父達到子，從子達到那靈，再從那靈達到我們。這就是神聖三一的行動（李常受文集一九八八年第一冊，四一九至四二二頁）。

我們的神是三一神，為着把祂自己作到我們裏面。祂是父，是整個的大西瓜；祂是子，被切成塊；祂是靈，被壓成汁。大西瓜要進到人裏面，必須經過一步步的過程，這一步步就是分賜的過程。不僅分賜，大西瓜還要在人裏面消化、吸收，成為人的組成。照樣，父、子、靈三一神經過了種種過程，成為賜生命的靈，也是為着讓我們喝進去，作我們的成分。這就是神聖三一的神聖分賜（李常受文集一九九○年第三冊，四五四頁）。

WEEK 6 — DAY 2

Morning Nourishment

John 16:13-15 But when He, the Spirit of reality, comes, He will guide you into all the reality; for He will not speak from Himself, but what He hears He will speak; and He will declare to you the things that are coming. He will glorify Me, for He will receive of Mine and will declare it to you. All that the Father has is Mine…

In the morning we may have had a time with the Lord to enjoy His manifestation, but later we might become unhappy with our spouse and lose the Lord’s manifestation to us. This, however, does not mean that we have lost the abiding of the Spirit within us. Some Christians feel that when they lose the manifestation of Jesus, they have lost their salvation, but this is not true, because the Spirit always abides in the believers. Those who believe they can lose their salvation actually believe in “elevator salvation.”…Our salvation, however, is…a “stairway,” from which we can never be removed. Although we are on this stairway, we want to enjoy the blessing of the top part of the stairway…This is why we need to love the Lord Jesus and say, “Lord Jesus, I love You.” As we love Him, we are brought up to the top floor. Then we see everything in the heavens. (CWWL, 1988, vol. 1, “Living in and with the Divine Trinity,” p. 304)

When we love Him, not only does His Spirit abide in us but also He Himself will manifest Himself to us. This means that we have the presence of the One whom we love in our fellowship with Him. If we love Jesus, Jesus loves us, and the Father loves us also. When the Son manifests Himself to us, the Father comes with Him to make an abode with us, to stay with us. We need to be brought more and more into the manifestation of the Son to us, with the Father and the Son making an abode with us. We need to go up the stairway of the Lord’s salvation by loving Him. Then He will manifest Himself to us, and the Father and the Son will make Their abode with us for our enjoyment.

The divine transmission of the Divine Trinity to the believers is revealed in John 16:13-15. This transmission is just like the transmission of electrical current. When the electricity is switched on, there is a current of electricity, a moving of electricity, and that moving is the transmission. First, all that the Father has is the Son’s (v. 15). This means that what the Father has is transmitted into the Son. Second, all that the Son has is received by the Spirit (v. 14b). This is a further step of this transmission. The Father transmits to the Son, and then there is a transmitting from the Son to the Spirit. Third, all that the Spirit has received of the Son is disclosed to the believers (vv. 13, 15b). Eventually, all that the Trinity is and has is ours.

Stanza 3 of Hymns, #501 talks about this transmission. This stanza says, “All things of the Father are Thine; / All Thou art in Spirit is mine. / The Spirit makes Thee real to me, / That Thou experienced might be.” Whatever the Father has is the Son’s, whatever the Son is has been received by the Spirit, and then the Spirit discloses to us whatever He has received of the Son. This transmission is from the Father to the Son, from the Son to the Spirit, and from the Spirit to us. This is the move of the Divine Trinity. (CWWL, 1988, vol. 1, “Living in and with the Divine Trinity,” pp. 304-306)

Our God is triune for the purpose of working Himself into us. He is the Father, the whole “melon.” He is also the Son, being “cut into pieces.” He is also the Spirit, being “pressed into juice.” In order for a big melon to enter into man, it must pass through all these processes. These steps are the stages of the dispensing. Not only does the melon need to be dispensed, but it must also be digested and assimilated into the constitution of man. In the same way, the Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit—has been processed to become the life-giving Spirit so that we can drink Him and so that He can become our element. This is the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity. (CWWL, 1990, vol. 3, “A Deeper Study of the Divine Dispensing,” p. 357)
