晨興餧養

林後三18 但我們眾人既然以沒有帕子遮蔽的臉，好像鏡子觀看並返照主的榮光，就漸漸變化成為與祂同樣的形像，從榮耀到榮耀，乃是從主靈變化成的。

加五25　  我們若憑着靈活着，也就當憑着靈而行。

約伯的經歷乃是神聖經綸的一個步驟。在這光景中，神採取了一個步驟，要在約伯身上成就一些事。…在撒但頭一次的攻擊之前，約伯是一個自滿的人。…最後，約伯的家產、健康和純全，都被剝奪並銷毀。

神的心意是要將約伯引進對神更深的追求，使他能得着神，而不是得着神的祝福，或他憑自己的完全和純全而有的成就。約伯滿意於停留在得着物質事物和道德成就的成功範圍裏，但他一點也沒有神。因此，神把他引進另一個範圍裏，使他能得着神（約伯記生命讀經，二五至二六頁）。

信息選讀

今天三一神完全終極完成於那靈。…作為包羅萬有的靈，祂乃是三一神的終極完成與總和。我們得着祂，就得着子與父。…父、子、靈三者乃是包羅萬有的靈。我們的神乃是終極完成的靈。我們的父、我們的主、我們的主人、我們的救贖主和我們的救主，就是賜生命的靈。這賜生命的靈是包羅萬有、複合並終極完成的。現今祂就在我們裏面。

新約囑咐我們要由這靈重生，並藉這靈得着神聖的生命。然後我們需要憑着這靈生活行動，也要照着靈作一切事，以經歷基督，享受父神，甚至享受三一神的豐滿。我們只要照着靈作一切事，就能經歷基督的成為肉體、人性生活、釘死、復活、升天和那靈的澆灌。這會使我們成為神的召會、基督的身體、新人和三一神的生機體，終極完成於新耶路撒冷。

在我們的日常生活中，我們不該在善惡知識樹的範圍裏，乃該在賜生命之靈的範圍裏。我們…該與主成為一靈，藉此照着靈作一切事。…我為主說話前，都有一個簡單的禱告：『主，與我成為一靈，使我能與你成為一靈。主，在我的說話中說話，使我的說話成為你的說話。』這就是活在神永遠經綸的分賜裏。我們這樣生活、說話，就享受神聖的分賜，基督就在我們裏面加多。基督在我們裏面增長，我們也在基督裏面增長。

今天在我們基督徒的生活中，我們基督徒該只摸這靈。…我們一切所作所是都該憑着靈、同着靈、在靈裏並藉着靈。我們該憑靈禱告，憑靈讀經，憑靈愛人，憑靈傳福音。

我們必須寶貝加拉太書裏的兩個靈：神的靈，對我們是神聖福分的集大成；人的靈，作神的靈的接受器、容器、儲存器。因此，我們需要顧到我們的靈，作一切事都要操練我們的靈。這樣，我們就經歷神的靈在我們裏面活着、在我們裏面安家並變化我們。神的靈住在我們裏面禱告、讀經、說神的話、愛我們的配偶並傳福音看望罪人。這樣的生活就是經過過程的三一神，與得重生的三部分人的調和。這是新約的神聖啟示，作為約伯受苦的答案，也是關於神創造人並對付祂選民之目的這個大問題的答案（約伯記生命讀經，八三至八四、一○八至一○九頁）。

WEEK 1 — DAY 6

W01-d6-en

Morning Nourishment

2 Cor. 3:18 But we all with unveiled face, beholding and reflecting like a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord Spirit.

Gal. 5:25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

Job’s experience was a step of the divine economy. In this situation God took a step to accomplish something with Job. Before Satan’s first attack, Job was a person of contentment…Eventually, Job’s possessions, health, and integrity were stripped away and consumed.

God’s intention was to usher Job into a deeper seeking after Him that he might gain Him instead of His blessings and his attainments in his perfection and integrity. Job was contented in the realm of success in his gaining of material things and in his ethical attainments, but he had nothing of God. Therefore, God ushered him into another realm that he might gain God. (Lifestudy of Job, p. 21)

Today’s Reading

Today’s Triune God is altogether consummated in the Spirit…As the allinclusive Spirit, He is the consummation, the aggregate, of the Triune God. When we receive Him, we receive the Son and the Father…All three—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit—are the all-inclusive Spirit. Our God is the consummated Spirit. Our Father, our Lord, our Master, our Redeemer, and our Savior is the life-giving Spirit. This life-giving Spirit is all-inclusive, compounded, and consummated. Even now He is within us.

In the New Testament we are charged to be regenerated by this Spirit and to receive the divine life through this Spirit. Then we need to live, to walk, by this Spirit, and we need to experience Christ, to enjoy God the Father, and even to enjoy the fullness of the Triune God by doing everything according to the Spirit. As long as we do everything according to the Spirit, we can experience Christ’s incarnation, human living, death, resurrection, and ascension with the outpouring of the Spirit. This will cause us to be the church of God, the Body of Christ, the new man, and the organism of the Triune God, which will consummate in the New Jerusalem.

In our daily living we should not be in the realm of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil but should be in the realm of the life-giving Spirit…We should do everything according to the Spirit by being one spirit with the Lord…Before I speak for the Lord, I pray one simple prayer: “Lord, be one spirit with me that I may be one spirit with You. Lord, speak in my speaking and make my speaking Your speaking.” This is to live in the
dispensing of the eternal economy of God. When we live and speak in this way, we enjoy the divine dispensing, and Christ increases within us. Christ grows in us, and we grow in Christ.

Today in our Christian life we Christians should just deal with this Spirit… We should do everything and be everything by the Spirit, with the Spirit, in the Spirit, and through the Spirit. We should pray by the Spirit, read the Bible by the Spirit, love others by the Spirit, and preach the gospel by the Spirit.

We must treasure the two spirits in Galatians—the divine Spirit as the aggregate of the divine blessing to us and the human spirit as the receiver, the container, the keeper, of the divine Spirit. Thus, we need to take care of our spirit, doing everything by exercising our spirit. Then we will experience the divine Spirit living in us, making His home in us, and transforming us. The divine Spirit lives in us to pray, to read the Bible, to speak God’s word, to love our spouse, and to visit sinners for the preaching of the gospel. Such a living is the mingling of the processed Triune God with the regenerated tripartite man. This is the divine revelation in the New Testament as the answer to the sufferings of Job and to the great question concerning God’s purpose in His creation of man and in His dealing with His chosen people. (Life-study of Job, pp. 69-70, 90)
