w05-outline-ch

詩歌：579

讀經：提後三 14 ～ 17

【週一】

壹 神最終的目的是要得着一個團體的神人，作祂團體的顯出；神不是要好人，乃是要神人，就是有神的氣之屬神的人—約一 1，14，提前三 15 ～ 16，提後三 16 ～ 17：

一 『耶和華神用地上的塵土塑造人，將生命之氣吹在他鼻孔裏，人就成了活的魂』—創二 7：

1 吹進人身體裏的生命之氣，成了人的靈—箴二十27，伯三二 8。

2 吹進人身體裏的生命之氣，不是神永遠的生命，也不是神的靈；但因爲人的靈是出於神的生命之氣，所以和神的靈非常接近—參創二 7 ～ 9。

3 因此，神的靈與人的靈之間能有傳輸，人的靈也能接觸神，並與神成爲一—羅八 16，林前六 17。

二 『就向他們吹入一口氣，說，你們受聖紐瑪』—約二十 22（直譯）：

1 聖紐瑪就是聖靈，或聖氣。

2 約翰福音裏有三個奇妙的辭：『話』、『肉體』、『氣』；話就是神，肉體就是人，氣就是那靈—一 1，14，二十 22。

3 話成了肉體，完成法理的救贖，然後復活成爲聖氣，住在我們裏面並供應我們，使我們得着生機的拯救—一 14，29，林前十五 45 下，羅五 10，十 12 ～13，參哀三 55 ～ 56。

【週二】

三 『聖經都是神的呼出』—提後三 16 上：

1 聖經，神的話，乃是神的呼出。

2 神的說話就是神的呼出；因此祂的話就是靈或氣—約六 63。

四 這一切都啓示，我們要成爲有神的氣之裝備齊全的神人，就需要操練我們的靈，不斷的接受那靈，也需要吸入神的話—提前四 7，加三 2，弗六 17 ～ 18 上。

貳 神呼出的聖經，對於教訓、督責、改正、在義上的教導，都是有益的，叫屬神的人得以完備，爲着各樣的善工，裝備齊全—提後三 14 ～ 17：

一 聖經是神的氣，這氣就是靈，而靈賜人生命—約六 63：

1 我們讀聖經該是吸入神，得着生命；我們教導聖經該是呼出神，分賜生命—徒六 4。

2 一個裝備齊全之屬神的人，乃是在靈裏，藉着各樣的禱告和祈求來讀聖經，好吸入神，並且供應話作爲那靈，好將神呼出到人裏面—弗六 17 ～ 18 上，徒六 10，林後三 6。

【週三】

二 在神一面，聖經是神的呼出；在我們一面，聖經是叫我們得着神的氣，在四件事上作我們的益處：教訓、督責、改正、和在義上的教導：

1 教訓等於啓示；教訓就是把帕子捲去，使人看見關於三一神和祂經綸的事—弗一 17，三 9。

2 督責來自我們所看見的啓示；每當我們看見神的事，我們就看見自己的錯誤、過錯、缺點和罪；結果我們就受督責，受責備；我們越看見神、認識神並愛神，就越厭惡自己、否認自己—參賽六 1 ～ 8，伯四二 5 ～ 6，太十六 24。

3 在督責之後是改正，就是矯正錯誤，使人轉到正路，恢復到正直的情形—參七 13 ～ 14，雅五 19 ～ 20。

4 在義上的教導就是受神聖的教導，享受基督作我們活出的義，並且受神聖的管教，與神與人都是對的—腓三 9。

【週四】

三 神藉着聖經的教訓、督責、改正、並在義上的教導而呼出祂自己，結果乃是叫屬神的人得以完備，爲着各樣的善工，裝備齊全—提後三 17：

1 屬神的人乃是神人，就是有分於神的生命和性情，（約一 12 ～ 13，彼後一 4，）在神的生命和性情上與祂是一，（林前六 17，）因而彰顯神的人。

2 神的呼出產生神人；我們需要帶着禱告來讀聖經，而不斷吸入三一神，好得着啓示、督責、改正、和在義上的教導。

【週五】

叁 接受神的話作神的氣，好被神所構成，也就是接受神的話作那靈的劍，好擊殺神的對頭—弗六 17 ～ 18 上：

一 撒但不只是我們外面的仇敵，也是我們裏面的對頭；我們要對付這個裏面的對頭，就需要經歷話的殺死能力，用聖經常時的話禱告，使其成爲那靈卽時的話—約六 63，弗五 26，啓二 7。

二 劍、那靈和話，三者乃是一；當聖經中常時的話成了卽時的話（指那靈在任何情況下，當時所說應用的話），那話就是那靈，也就是劍，可以擊殺對頭—來四 12。

三 我們越在靈裏藉着各樣的禱告接受神的話，我們裏面消極的元素也就越被擊殺；至終，己這最厲害的仇敵，就是基督身體的仇敵，就要被治死—參啓一 16，二 16。

四 每當我們被自己裏面某些消極的東西困擾時，我們應當在靈裏藉着各樣的禱告接受神的話；當我們裏面消極的東西藉着禱讀被殺死時，主就得勝。

【週六】

五 我們藉着接受作爲那靈的話，就是擊殺的劍，蒙保守在召會生活和職事裏；這話就是屬靈的抗生素，殺死我們裏面的『病菌』，使我們能過健康的身體生活，健康的召會生活。

六 得勝者遵守主的話，乃是藉着常來到主面前，在寫成的話裏接觸祂作活的話，使祂在他們裏面能成爲應用的話，作爲分賜的靈—三 8，約一1，五 39 ～ 40，六 63。

七 得勝者完全被作爲神話語的那靈所構成，成爲基督的新婦和新人，就是團體的神人，有神的氣作爲擊殺的劍，以除滅神的仇敵，使神的眾子得以顯現—啓二 7，二二 17 上，十九 13 ～15，帖後二 8。

Week Five

Being a Fully Equipped Man of God by Inhaling and Exhaling the Word of God as the Breath of God

Hymns: 799

Scripture Reading: 2 Tim. 3:14-17

§ Day 1

I. God’s ultimate intention is to gain a corporate God-man for His corporate manifestation; God does not desire a good man but a God-man, a man of God with the breath of God— John 1:1, 14; 1 Tim. 3:15-16; 2 Tim. 3:16-17:

A. “Jehovah God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul”—Gen. 2:7:

1. The breath of life breathed into man’s body became the spirit of man, the human spirit—Prov. 20:27; Job 32:8.

2. The breath of life breathed into man’s body was not the eternal life of God nor the Spirit of God, but because the human spirit came out of God’s breath of life, it is very close to the Spirit of God—cf. Gen. 2:7-9.

3. Thus, there can be a transmission between God the Spirit and man’s spirit, and the human spirit is able to contact God and be one with God—Rom. 8:16; 1 Cor. 6:17.

B. “He breathed into them and said to them, Receive the Holy Pneuma”— John 20:22 (lit.):

1. The Holy Pneuma is the Holy Spirit, or Holy Breath.

2. In the Gospel of John there are three wonderful words: Word, flesh, and breath; the Word is God, the flesh is man, and the breath is the Spirit—1:1, 14; 20:22.

3. The Word became flesh to accomplish judicial redemption and then resurrected to become the Holy Breath indwelling us and supplying us for our organic salvation—1:14, 29; 1 Cor. 15:45b; Rom. 5:10; 10:12-13; cf. Lam. 3:55-56.

§ Day 2

C. “All Scripture is God-breathed”—2 Tim. 3:16a:

1. The Scripture, the word of God, is the breathing out of God.

2. God’s speaking is God’s breathing out; hence, His word is spirit, or breath— John 6:63.

D. This all reveals that being a fully equipped man of God with the breath of God requires the exercise of our spirit, the continual receiving of the Spirit, and the breathing in of God’s word—1 Tim. 4:7; Gal. 3:2; Eph. 6:17- 18a.

II. The God-breathed Scripture is profitable for teaching, conviction, correction, and instruction in righteousness, that the man of God maybe complete, fully equipped for every good work—2 Tim. 3:14-17:

A. The Bible is God’s breath, this breath is the Spirit, and the Spirit gives life — John 6:63:

1. Our reading of the Bible should be our inhaling of God to receive life, and our  teaching of the Bible should be our exhaling of God to impart life—Acts 6:4.

2. A fully equipped man of God reads the Bible by means of all prayer and petition in the spirit to inhale God and ministers the word as the Spirit to exhale God into others—Eph. 6:17-18a; Acts 6:10; 2 Cor. 3:6.

§ Day 3

B. On God’s side, the Bible is God’s breathing; on our side, the Bible is for us to receive the breath of God as our profit in four matters: teaching, conviction, correction, and instruction in righteousness:

1. Teaching equals revelation; to teach is to roll away the veil so that others may see something of the Triune God and His economy—Eph. 1:17; 3:9.

2. Conviction comes from the revelation that we have seen; whenever we see something of God, we realize our mistakes, wrongdoings, shortcomings, and sins, and the result is that we are convicted and reproved; the more we see God, know God, and love God, the more we abhor ourselves and deny ourselves— cf. Isa. 6:1-8; Job 42:5-6; Matt. 16:24.

3. Correction follows conviction and is a matter of setting right what is wrong, turning someone to the right way, and restoring a person to an upright state — cf. 7:13-14; James 5:19-20.

4. Instruction in righteousness is to be divinely instructed to enjoy Christ as our lived-out righteousness and to be divinely disciplined in being right with God and with man—Phil. 3:9.

§ Day 4

C. The issue of God’s breathing out of Himself through the Scripture for teaching, conviction, correction, and instruction in righteousness is that the man of God becomes complete, fully equipped for every good work— 2 Tim. 3:17:

1. A man of God is a God-man, one who partakes of God’s life and nature (John 1:12-13; 2 Pet. 1:4), thus, being one with God in His life and nature (1 Cor. 6:17) and thereby expressing Him.

2. God’s breathing produces God-men; we need to continually inhale the Triune God by reading the Scripture with prayer to receive revelation, conviction, correction, and instruction in righteousness.

§ Day 5

III. To receive the word of God as the breath of God in order to be constituted with God is also to receive the word of God as the sword of the Spirit in order to slay God’s adversary—Eph. 6:17-18a:

A. Satan is not only the enemy outside of us but also the adversary inside of us; to deal with this inward adversary, we need to experience the killing power of the word, praying over the constant word of the Bible so that it becomes the instant word of the Spirit—John 6:63; Eph. 5:26; Rev. 2:7.

B. The sword, the Spirit, and the word are one; when the constant word in the Bible becomes the instant word (the applied word spoken at the moment by the Spirit in any situation), that word is the Spirit as the sword that kills the adversary— Heb. 4:12.

C. The more we take the word of God by means of all prayer in spirit, the more the negative elements in our being are slain; eventually, the self, the worst foe of all, the enemy of the Body, will be put to death—cf. Rev. 1:16; 2:16.

D. Whenever we are troubled by something negative within us, we should take the word of God by means of all prayer in spirit; when the negative things in us are killed through pray-reading, the Lord is victorious.

§ Day 6

E. We are preserved in the church life and in the ministry by receiving the word as the Spirit to be the killing sword, which is a spiritual antibiotic to kill the “germs” within us so that we can live a healthy Body life, a healthy church life.

F. The overcomers keep the Lord’s word by always coming to the Lord to
contact Him as the living word in the written word so that He can become the applied word as the dispensing Spirit in them—3:8; John 1:1; 5:39-40; 6:63.

G. The overcomers are fully constituted with the Spirit as the word of God to be the bride of Christ and the new man, the corporate man of God with the breath of God as the killing sword for the destruction of the enemies of God and the manifestation of the sons of God—Rev. 2:7; 22:17a; 19:13- 15; 2 Thes. 2:8.
