晨興餧養

林前十五45『經上也是這樣記着：「首先的人亞當成了活的魂」；末後的亞當成了賜生命的靈。』

        六17『但與主聯合的，便是與主成爲一靈。』

羅八4『使律法義的要求，成就在我們這不照着肉體，只照着靈而行的人身上。』

我們必須看見，主耶穌作爲生命進到我們裏面；但祂是進到我們裏面的那一部分？提後四章二十二節說，『願主與你的靈同在。』這是再清楚明確不過了。主耶穌今天就在我們的靈裏。阿利路亞！基督今天就在我們的靈裏。永遠不要忘記，基督是在我們靈裏的賜生命之靈（林前十五45）。

林前六章十七節說，『但與主聯合的，便是與主成爲一靈。』因着基督今天是賜生命的靈，而我們有一個內裏的部分，就是人的靈，所以這二靈就來在一起，調和成爲一靈。凡與主聯合的，便是與主成爲一靈。現今我們有一個調和的靈。因着這二靈調和爲一，所以很難講這靈是聖靈還是人的靈。

羅馬八章四節告訴我們，要照着靈而行。這是甚麼靈？我們不只該照着聖靈，也不只該照着人的靈，乃該照着調和的靈而行。現今聖靈與人的靈調和爲一。在這地上，在這宇宙中，有一個中心點，在此基督這賜生命的靈與我們成爲一。現今我們要照着這奇妙、調和的靈而行。基督乃是在我們靈裏賜生命的靈（李常受文集一九六五年第三册，三一○頁）。

信息選讀

腓立比一章二十七節說，『在一個靈裏站立得住，同魂與福音的信仰一齊努力。』在一個靈裏是一件事，同魂是另一件事。首先，我們需要在一個靈裏，其次我們都需要同魂。我們要一同站住爲着召會生活，就需要在一個靈裏；但如果一些弟兄們一起出去傳福音，卻不同魂，他們就會有許多麻煩。在校園裏，有許多青年弟兄們實在是在靈裏是一，爲着召會生活堅定站住；但他們出去傳福音時，有時卻不同魂。我們不僅要在一個靈裏，我們還要同魂。『在一個靈裏』是爲着站立，『同魂』是爲着能行動、工作、一齊努力。

爲着林前六章十七節讚美主。這節說，『但與主聯合的，便是與主成爲一靈。』主在我們的靈裏，所以我們與主成爲一靈。『末後的亞當成了賜生命的靈。』（十五45）『而且主就是那靈。』（林後三17）『願主與你的靈同在。』（提後四22）『但與主聯合的，便是與主成爲一靈。』（林前六17）我喜歡這四節經節，我永遠不會忘記它們。主是賜生命的靈，而我們有這奇妙的靈。今天我們與主成爲一靈，因爲這二靈調和成爲一靈（李常受文集一九六五年第三册，三五七至三五八頁）。

〔在論到神生機救恩之祕訣的〕信息裏，我們用『祕訣』一辭，意指在作某些事情或製作某些東西上的技巧。保羅在腓立比四章十二節用到這辭：『我知道怎樣處卑賤，也知道怎樣處富餘；或飽足、或飢餓、或富餘、或缺乏，在各事上，並在一切事上，我都學得祕訣。』保羅學得面對各種情形的祕訣、技巧。神生機救恩八段的祕訣，就是那靈同我們的靈。這二靈一起作工，就是一切屬靈事物，特別是神生機救恩之各面的技巧、祕訣（李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第四册，二八五至二八六頁）。

WEEK 7 — DAY 2

Morning Nourishment

1 Cor. 15:45 So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul”; the last Adam became a life-giving Spirit.

          6:17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

Rom. 8:4 That the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the spirit.

We must see that the Lord Jesus as life comes into us, but into what part of us? Second Timothy 4:22 says, “The Lord be with your spirit.” Nothing could be more clear or more definite. The Lord Jesus today is in our spirit. Hallelujah! Christ today is in our spirit. Never forget that Christ is the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45) in our spirit.

First Corinthians 6:17 says, “He who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.” Because Christ today is the life-giving Spirit, and we have an inner part, the human spirit, these two spirits come together and mingle and become one spirit. He who is joined to the Lord is one spirit. Now we have a mingled spirit. It is rather hard to say whether this is the Holy Spirit or the human spirit because the two spirits are mingled as one.

Romans 8:4 tells us to walk according to the spirit. What spirit is this? We should walk not only according to the Holy Spirit and not only according to the human spirit, but according to the mingled spirit. Now the Holy Spirit and the human spirit are mingled as one. Here on this earth, in this universe, there is a spot where Christ as the life-giving Spirit is one with us. Now we just walk according to this wonderful, mingled spirit. Christ is the life-giving Spirit within our spirit. (CWWL, 1965, vol. 3, “Our Human Spirit,” pp. 225-226)

Todays Reading

Philippians 1:27 says to “stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving together along with the faith of the gospel.” To be in one spirit is one thing. To be with one soul is another thing. First, we need to be in one spirit. Then we all need to be with one soul. To stand together for the church life we need to be in one spirit, but if some brothers went to preach the gospel together without being one soul, they would have a lot of trouble. So many young brothers on the campus are really one in the spirit, standing firm for the church life. But when they go to preach the gospel, sometimes they have a different soul. We need to be not only in one spirit but also with one soul. “In one spirit” is for the standing, and “with one soul” is for the acting, the working, the striving together.

Praise the Lord for 1 Corinthians 6:17: “He who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.” The Lord is within our spirit, so we are one spirit with the Lord. “The last Adam became a life-giving Spirit” (15:45). “The Lord is the Spirit” (2 Cor. 3:17). “The Lord be with your spirit” (2 Tim. 4:22). “He who is joined to the Lord is one spirit” (1 Cor. 6:17). I like these four verses, and I could never forget them. The Lord is the life-giving Spirit, and we have such a wonderful spirit. Today we are just one spirit with the Lord because these two spirits are mingled together as one spirit. (CWWL, 1965, vol. 3, “Our Human Spirit,” pp. 255-256)

The title of chapter 1 is “The Secret of Regeneration.” In these messages we are using the word secret as a noun meaning “skillfulness in doing things or in making things.” Paul used this word in Philippians 4:12: “I know also how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to hunger, both to abound and to lack.” Paul had learned the secret, the skillfulness, of facing every kind of situation. The secret of [the] eight sections of God’s organic salvation is the Spirit with our spirit. These two spirits working together is the skillfulness, the secret, of all spiritual things, especially of all the aspects of God’s organic salvation. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 4, “The Secret of God’s Organic Salvation—’the Spirit Himself with Our Spirit,’” pp. 225-226)
