11被附，乃是直接落在撒但的手中，受撒但的支配和约束。着迷，就是自欺。约壹一章八节提到，说自己无罪的乃是自欺的人，也就是着迷的人。至于说谎，与着迷是不同的。说谎的人，良心会受到责备。着迷的人，自己顶有把握，以为绝不是说谎，其实就是说谎。……着迷的人乃是用自己的理想，来作为事实，而且以为是对的。帖后二章十至十二节所说灭亡的人，不领受对真理的爱，反而信从虚谎，这是一件最凄惨的事。我们基督徒若对自己有一种了不得的估价，这乃是心思中的谎言；若是这种谎言不除去，迟早这样的人会着迷。着迷的拯救乃在于诗篇三十六篇九节：“在你的光中，我们必得见光。”这里“你的光”，是指神的光照；“我们必得见光，”是指我们因神的光照，而看见了事情的真相。许多人喜欢根据自己的心思、想法、想像、臆测来看事情，这样的看法，常常与事实是不对的。世界上最可怜的人，乃是自以为是，有把握，又能与人辩论的人。……我们要存着恐惧战兢的心，来到主面前，活在祂的光照中。这样，我们在主的事奉和工作上，才不容易着迷，不至像保罗在没信主之前，所作的事一样。
11When a person is possessed, he falls directly into Satan’s hand and is controlled and bound by Satan. When a person is obsessed, he is deceived by himself. First John 1:8 says that those who say that they have not sinned are deceiving themselves; they are obsessed. Lying is different from being obsessed. Those who lie are condemned in their conscience, but those who are obsessed are very confident in themselves. They are convinced that they are not lying when they really are…A man who is obsessed takes his perception of reality as reality and considers his reality to be absolutely right. Second Thessalonians 2:10-12 speaks of the perishing ones who do not receive a love of the truth but instead believe lies. This is very sad. When a Christian overestimates himself, he follows the lies of his mind. Unless these lies are removed, he will fall into obsession sooner or later. The way to be delivered from obsession is found in Psalm 36:9: “In Your light we see light.” “Your light” refers to God’s light, and “we see light” refers to our seeing the true nature of things through the shining of God’s light. Many people like to judge according to their mind, ideas, imagination, and conjecture. Such views are often contrary to facts. The most pitiful men are those who presume that they are right, who are very confident of themselves, and who are good at arguing with others…We should come before the Lord in fear and trembling and come under His shining. If we do this, we will not become obsessed in the Lord’s service and will not act like Paul before his conversion.
