晨興餧養 多三5 祂便救了我們，並不是本於我們所成就的義行，乃是照着祂的憐憫，藉着重生的洗滌，和聖靈的更新。 弗四23 而在你們心思的靈裏得以更新。 五26 好聖化召會，藉着話中之水的洗滌潔淨召會。 神有最好的供備，幫助我們得更新。頭一項供備乃是十字架，就是耶穌的治死。按林後四章，保羅常常在十字架（主的死）的殺死之下。十字架是為我們成就更新的最大幫助。 第二項供備乃是聖靈。提多書三章五節說到『聖靈的更新』。我們有聖靈在我們裏面。祂主要的工作先是重生我們，然後日日更新我們。我們日日在接受那靈新的供應，使我們有新陳代謝的更新。感謝主，我們有這樣更新的靈。神賜給我們的第三項供備乃是我們調和的靈，就是我們人靈與神靈調和的靈。在我們人的靈裏，有聖靈居住、工作並且更新我們。以弗所四章二十三節說，我們需要在我們心思的靈裏得以更新。我們的靈是我們得更新的所在。我們調和的靈擴展到我們的心思裏，就成了我們心思的靈。在這樣的靈裏，我們得以更新，使我們得以變化（李常受文集一九八九年第二冊，四三八頁）。 信息選讀 許多基督教教師告訴人，他們若小心順從主，就會少受些苦；但整個召會歷史中，許多屬靈人所經歷的，卻恰好相反。當我們在苦難中，我們需要得着更新。不然，我們所經過的苦難，就對我們毫無意義。在我們裏面有一避難所，這避難所就是我們的靈。我們需要從心思轉到靈裏。這樣，我們就蒙護衛、隱藏、遮蔽，脫離任何的攻擊。我們乃是在我們的靈裏得更新。 除了十字架、聖靈和我們的靈以外，我們還有聖言。身體的頭藉着話中之水的洗滌潔淨召會，就是祂的身體（弗五26）。…當我思想羅馬八章四節—照着靈而行—我就得着洗滌。我們都需要日日得着話中之水的洗滌。 當我們來到主的話前，不管是甚麼章節，主的話必定會洗滌我們。話中有水洗滌我們。洗滌乃是更新的同義辭。憑着十字架、聖靈、我們調和的靈以及聖言這四項，我們就能得着更新。 每逢我們來赴主的筵席，我們需要更新。主耶穌設立這筵席的時候，說，『從今以後，我絕不喝這葡萄樹的產品，直到我在我父的國裏，同你們喝新的那日子。』（太二六29）主在這裏立了一個原則，…祂設立的筵席是新的，祂在祂父的國裏喫喝的筵席也是新的。…們要知道，任何消極的事物都是舊樣的緣由或因素。……我們來赴主的筵席時，首先必須〔有〕徹底〔的〕承認。…我們必須承認並對付我們與神與人之間一切消極的事物（徒二四16）。…另一件使我們老舊的事，就是不赦免別人。要常常赦免人（太十八21~22、35，弗四32，五2），也要常常尋求得赦免（太五23~24）。…〔婚姻關係中的〕冒犯乃是造成老舊的原因。…們必須學習對配偶說，『對不起，請赦免我。』我們需要禱告，使〔這〕交通…成為我們日常的經歷，好叫我們能更多進入日日得更新的實際裏（李常受文集一九八九年第二冊，四三九至四四一頁）。 參讀：利未記生命讀經，第二十三篇；為着建造基督的身體講說基督，第三章。 WEEK 5 — DAY 4 Morning Nourishment Titus 3:5 Not out of works in righteousness which we did but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Spirit. Eph. 4:23 And that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind. 5:26 That He might sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing of the water in the word. God has the best provisions to help us to receive the renewing. The first provision is the cross, the putting to death of Jesus. According to 2 Corinthians 4, Paul was always under the killing of the cross, the Lord’s death. The second provision is the Holy Spirit… We have the Holy Spirit within us. His main work is first to regenerate us and then to renew us every day [cf. Titus 3:5]. We are receiving the new supply of the Spirit daily to renew us metabolically. Thank the Lord that we have such a renewing Spirit. The third provision God gave us is our mingled spirit, our human spirit mingled with the divine Spirit. In our human spirit, the Holy Spirit dwells, works, and renews us. Ephesians 4:23 says that we need to be renewed in the spirit of our mind. Our spirit is the place where we receive the renewing. Our mingled spirit spreads into our mind, thus becoming the spirit of our mind. It is in such a spirit that we are renewed for our transformation. (CWWL, 1989, vol. 2, “Being Renewed Day by Day,” pp. 351-352) Today’s Reading Many Christian teachers tell people that if they are careful to obey the Lord, they will have less suffering, but the experiences of many spiritual people throughout the history of the church have been just the opposite. While we are in the midst of suffering, we need to receive the renewing. Otherwise, the suffering we pass through means nothing to us. Within us there is a refuge. This refuge is our spirit. We need to turn from our mind to our spirit. Then we are safeguarded, hidden, and concealed from any attacks. It is in our spirit that we will be renewed. In addition to the cross, the Holy Spirit, and our spirit, we have the holy Word. The Head of the Body cleanses the church, His Body, by the washing of the water in the word (Eph. 5:26)…When I think about Romans 8:4—to walk according to the spirit—I get washed. We all need to receive the washing of the water in the word daily. When we come to the Word, regardless of what chapter or verse, the word will wash us. There is water in the word to wash us. Washing is a synonym of renewing. By these four items—the cross, the Holy Spirit, our mingled spirit, and the holy Word—we can receive the renewing. Whenever we come to the Lord’s table, we need renewing. When the Lord Jesus established the table, He said, “I shall by no means drink of this product of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in the kingdom of My Father” (Matt. 26:29). The Lord established a principle here… The table He set up was new, and the table He will take in the kingdom of His Father will be new… We need to realize that anything negative is a cause and a factor of oldness… When we come to the Lord’s table, we first have to make a thorough confession… We have to confess and deal with any negative things between us and God and between us and men [Acts 24:16]. Another thing that makes us old is not forgiving others. Always forgive people (Matt. 18:21-22, 35; Eph. 4:32; 5:2), and always seek to be forgiven (Matt. 5:23- 24)… Offenses are the cause of oldness… We must learn to say to our spouse, “I’m sorry. Forgive me.” We need to pray that [this] fellowship… will become our experience day by day so that we can enter more into the reality of being renewed day by day.
