晨興餧養

腓一19~20 因為我知道，這事藉着你們的祈求，和耶穌基督之靈全備的供應，終必叫我得救。這是照着我所專切期待並盼望的，就是沒有一事會叫我羞愧，只要凡事放膽，無論是生，是死，總叫基督在我身體上，現今也照常顯大。

複合的膏油是用來塗抹帳幕（神的居所），以及用於帳幕事奉的一切器具和器皿。不但如此，祭司也是由這複合的膏油所膏。這表徵複合的靈是為着身體，召會，神的居所，也是為着對神的事奉。…要享受那靈，我們需要成為帳幕和祭司體系的一部分，就是神居所和對祂之事奉的一部分。自然而然我們就會被膏油所塗抹，並享受那靈全備的供應（腓立比書生命讀經，三四五頁）。

信息選讀

我們從經歷知道，我們若對召會有難處，或拒絕有分於召會的事奉，就不會享受包羅萬有的靈。雖然我們可能多多禱告，但我們的禱告沒有功效。因着我們相信複合之靈的實際，我們也許就呼籲主憐憫我們，我們也告訴祂，我們何等需要祂。然而，我們仍沒有經歷那靈的供應。原因是我們使自己與身體隔絕，沒有實際地成為帳幕的一部分。不但如此，我們無分於祭司的事奉。照着出埃及三十章，複合的膏油是為着塗抹帳幕和祭司的。我們要領悟，複合的靈，耶穌基督的靈，是為着身體，神的帳幕，並為着對神的事奉，祭司體系，這是非常重要的。因着今天許多基督徒與基督的身體和祭司的事奉隔絕，他們要有分於那靈全備的供應就極其困難。

保羅活在身體裏。他雖是個了不起的使徒，仍需要聖徒們的禱告和祈求。這清楚指明保羅與身體有正確的關係。不但如此，保羅也有分於祭司體系。因着他在身體（帳幕）裏，因着他是祭司體系（對神的事奉）的一部分，他就在正確的地位上，接受身體上膏油的流淌。

我們許多人能見證，…我們進入主恢復的召會生活，並開始有分於召會的事奉以後，我們就覺得自己在那靈全備供應的流淌之下。

我們若與召會是一，並留在祭司的事奉裏，我們就享受包羅萬有之靈豐富的塗抹。甚至一點禱告或呼求主名，可能只說『阿們』，就使我們享受這塗抹。

假定一位弟兄對他妻子不悅。然而，在聚會中他轉向主並開始說，『主耶穌，我愛你。』因着他被滋潤，且被塗抹，不悅的感覺就消失了。散會後他回家時，他的臉發光。他的妻子看見，她的丈夫經歷了那靈新鮮的塗抹。她先前看見他的時候，他的臉是悲傷的，他是不悅的；但現在他的臉發光，並且他在主裏喜樂。這是經歷那靈塗抹的結果。

耶穌基督的靈有全備的供應。這供應是包羅萬有的飲料，包含許多的成分。我們所需要的一切都在這神聖的飲料裏。…當我們有真實的禱告，並呼求主的名時，複合的膏油就在我們的處境裏應用到我們身上，我們就享受那靈全備供應的豐富。…藉着身體的祈求，並藉着耶穌基督之靈全備的供應，我們的景況終必叫我們得救。這樣，就沒有一事叫我們羞愧，只叫基督在我們身上顯大（腓立比書生命讀經，三四六至三四八頁）。

 WEEK 3—DAY 5

Morning Nourishment

Phil. 1:19-20 For I know that for me this will turn out to salvation through your petition and the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I will be put to shame, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death.

The compound ointment was used to anoint the tabernacle, God’s dwelling place, as well as all the furnishings and utensils used in the service of the tabernacle. Furthermore, the priests were anointed with this compound ointment. This signifies that the compound Spirit is for the Body, the church, God’s house, and also for God’s service…To enjoy the Spirit we need to be part of the tabernacle and of the priesthood, part of God’s dwelling and of His service. Then spontaneously we will be anointed with the ointment and enjoy the bountiful supply of the Spirit. (Life-study of Philippians, 2nd ed., p. 284)

Today’s Reading

From our experience we know that if we have a problem with the church or refuse to participate in the service of the church, we do not enjoy the allinclusive Spirit. Although we may pray very much, our prayer is not effective. Believing in the reality of the compound Spirit, we may cry out to the Lord to have mercy on us, and we may tell Him how much we need Him. However, we still do not experience the supply of the Spirit. The reason is that we have severed ourselves from the Body and are not part of the tabernacle in a
practical way…According to Exodus 30, the compound ointment was for the anointing of the tabernacle and the priests. It is very important to realize that the compound Spirit, the Spirit of Jesus Christ, is for the Body, God’s tabernacle, and for God’s service, the priesthood. Because so many Christians today are cut off from the Body and from the priestly service, it is extremely difficult for them to share the bountiful supply of the Spirit.

Paul lived in the Body. Although he was a wonderful apostle, he still needed the prayers and petitions of the saints. This is a clear indication that Paul had a right relationship with the Body. Furthermore, Paul also shared in the priesthood. Because he was in the Body, the tabernacle, and because he was part of the priesthood, God’s service, he was in a proper position to receive the flow of the ointment, which is upon the Body.

Many of us can testify that…after we came into the church life in the Lord’s recovery and began to participate in the church service, we had the sense that we were under the flowing of the bountiful supply of the Spirit.

If we are one with the church and stay in the priestly service, we enjoy the rich anointing of the all-inclusive Spirit. Even a little praying or calling on the name of the Lord, perhaps simply saying Amen, causes us to enjoy this anointing.

Suppose a brother is unhappy with his wife. However, during a meeting he turns to the Lord and begins to say, “Lord Jesus, I love You.” Because he is watered and anointed, his feeling of unhappiness disappears. When he comes home after the meeting, his face is shining. His wife realizes that her husband has experienced a fresh anointing of the Spirit. When she saw him last, his face was sad, and he was unhappy. But now his face is shining, and he is rejoicing in the Lord. This comes from experiencing the anointing of the Spirit.

With the Spirit of Jesus Christ there is a bountiful supply. This supply is an all-inclusive drink containing many ingredients. Everything we need is in this divine beverage…When we pray in a genuine way and when we call on the name of the Lord, the compound ointment is applied to us in our situation, and we enjoy the riches of the bountiful supply of the Spirit…By the petitions of the Body and by the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, our circumstances turn out to be for our salvation. Then we are not put to shame in anything, but Christ is magnified in us. (Life-study of Philippians, 2nd ed., pp. 284-286)
