第四週.週三 晨興餧養 路九23『耶穌又對眾人說,若有人要跟從我,就當否認己,天天背起他的十字架,並跟從我。』 林前十五31『弟兄們,我指著我為你們在我們主基督耶穌裏所有的誇耀,鄭重的說,我是天天死。』 因著己是獨立的,所以己是基督身體建造最大的難處。我們不僅要倚靠神,也要倚靠身體,倚靠弟兄姊妹。每當我們向弟兄姊妹獨立,我們就在己裏,在獨立的魂裏。今天對我們而言,向身體獨立就等於向神獨立。這不是道理上的事,乃是經歷上的事。你若核對你的經歷,就會發現當你向弟兄姊妹獨立時,你覺得你向神也是獨立的。 我們若倚靠身體,也就倚靠主。…你之所以沒有主的同在,是因為你與身體隔絕了,因為你與身體上的肢體沒有正確的關係。你要竭力被建造起來,並與身體有對的關係。你若與身體是對的,並且被建造在身體裏,就必定覺得主的同在。(李常受文集一九六五年第三冊,二六六至二六七頁。) 信息選讀 主耶穌並不看重我們所作的;祂乃是看重我們倚靠祂。我們若看見這個,就不會注意我們所作的,而會注意我們是否倚靠主。我們需要問自己:我是向主獨立,還是倚靠祂?我們若向主獨立,我們就在己裏。我們若倚靠主,自然就倚靠身體。 主和身體乃是一。你若倚靠主,就是倚靠身體;你倚靠身體,就是倚靠主。你若是向身體獨立,不管你想作多少好事,你向著主自然而然是獨立的,並且是在己裏。不僅如此,因著你在己裏,你還是與撒但結合的。在這『公司』裏,己是經理,而撒但是總裁。 哦,我們多麼需要看見有關己的異象!我們若看見這異象,就會恨惡向著主和身體的獨立。這樣,我們纔會喜愛倚靠身體,倚靠弟兄姊妹,並倚靠主。 我們怎麼知道我們倚靠神?我們乃是藉著裏面真正的平安得知的。…有些向身體獨立的弟兄,可能聲稱他們是為神作事;然而,他們裏面沒有平安。他們越聲稱自己是為神作事,就越覺得自己沒有平安。…他們會爭辯說,『我有平安。難道我需要與你們這些人有關係麼?我在傳福音,作主的工,我有平安。』這是何種的平安?這不是真正的平安,而是人造的平安,是己在那裏製造、維持的平安。 看見有關己的異象,與身體很有關係。今天我們是在主的恢復裏,而主的恢復至終要來到這件極重要的事上,就是建造基督的身體。基督身體的仇敵就是己。身體最大的難處、最大的攔阻和反對,也是己。我們只要有了己,就沒有身體。我們有了身體,就沒有己。為了使身體建造起來,己,就是獨立的魂,必須受對付。己是獨立的『我』。當我們獨立時,我們就是在己裏,身體不見了,我們也沒有平安。(李常受文集一九六五年第三冊,二六七至二七○頁。) 參讀:從天上來的異象,第三至四章。 WEEK 4 — DAY 3 Morning Nourishment
Luke 9:23 And He said to them all, If anyone wants to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.
1 Cor. 15:31 I protest by the boasting in you, brothers, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
Because the self is something independent, the self is the greatest problem to the building up of the Body. We should be dependent not only on God but also on the Body, on the brothers and sisters. Whenever we are independent of the brothers and sisters, we are in the self, in the independent soul. For us today, being independent of the Body is equal to being independent of God. This is a matter not of doctrine but of experience. If you check with your experience, you will realize that when you were independent of the brothers and sisters, you had the sense that you were also independent of God.
If we are dependent on the Body, then we will also be dependent on the Lord …You do not have the Lord’s presence, because you are isolated from the Body, because you are not properly related to the members of the Body. Endeavor to be built up and to be right with the Body. If you are right with the Body and are built up in the Body, you will surely sense the Lord’s presence. (CWWL, 1965, vol. 3, “The Heavenly Vision,” pp. 195-196)
Today’s Reading
The Lord Jesus does not have regard for what we do; rather, He has regard for our dependence on Him. If we see this, we will pay attention not to what we do but to whether or not we are dependent on the Lord. We need to ask ourselves: Am I independent of the Lord or am I dependent on Him? If we are independent of the Lord, we are in the self. If we are dependent on the Lord, we are spontaneously dependent on the Body.
The Lord and the Body are one. If you are dependent on the Lord, you are dependent on the Body. If you are dependent on the Body, you are dependent on the Lord. If you are independent of the Body, you are spontaneously independent of the Lord and are in the self, no matter how many good things you intend to do. Furthermore, because you are in the self, you are incorporated with Satan. In this corporation the self is the general manager, and Satan is the president.
Oh, how we need to see the vision of the self! If we see this vision, we will hate our independence from the Lord and the Body. Then we will love the dependence on the Body, on the brothers and sisters, and on the Lord.
How do we know that we are dependent on God? We know it by the genuine peace within us. Some brothers who are independent of the Body may claim that they are doing something for God. However, they do not have peace within them. The more they claim that they are doing something for God, the more they have the sense that they are not at peace…They may argue, saying, “I have peace. What need is there for me to be related to you people? I am preaching the gospel and doing the work of the Lord, and I have peace.” What kind of peace is this? It is not the genuine peace; it is a self-made peace, a peace that is made and maintained by the self.
Seeing the vision of the self has much to do with the Body. Today we are in the Lord’s recovery, and the recovery will eventually come to this crucial matter—the building up of the Body. The enemy of the Body is the self. The greatest problem, the greatest frustration and opposition, to the Body is also the self. When we have the self, we do not have the Body. When we have the Body, we do not have the self. In order for the Body to be built up, the self, the independent soul, must be dealt with. The self is the independent “I,” the independent “me.” When we are independent, we are in the self, the Body is gone, and we do not have peace. (CWWL, 1965, vol. 3, “The Heavenly Vision,” pp. 196-198)
