9每当我们转到灵里,呼求主名,来到施恩的宝座前,我们就应当让主登宝座。我们必须让祂在我们里面有元首的权柄、君王的权柄和主权。这会有很大的不同!有时我们在祷告中,觉得主在我们里面,但我们不愿意将宝座让给祂。我们不承认祂的君王权柄,我们高举自己在祂以上,自己登了宝座。实际说来,我们是叫主下了宝座。我们只要不让主登宝座,恩典的流就立刻停止。就在我们祷告的时候,我们需要让主在我们里面登宝座,尊崇祂为元首、为主、为王。这样,恩典在我们里面才会涌流如同江河。……生命水的河从神和羔羊的宝座流出来。因此,神的宝座是涌流恩典的源头。叫主下宝座,把宝座从祂挪去,就是忽视恩典的源头。这就使恩典的流停止。这不仅是个教训,更是在经历上非常真实的事。
9Whenever we approach the throne of grace by turning to our spirit and calling on the name of the Lord, we should enthrone the Lord. We must give Him the headship, kingship, and lordship in us. What a tremendous difference this makes! Sometimes as we are praying, we sense that the Lord is within us, but we are not willing to give Him the throne. Instead of recognizing His kingship, we exalt ourselves above Him and put ourselves on the throne. In a very practical way we dethrone the Lord. Whenever we fail to enthrone the Lord, the flow of grace stops. At the very time we are praying, we need to allow the Lord to be on the throne within us, honoring Him as the Head, the Lord, and the King. Then grace will flow within us as a river. The river of water of life proceeds out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. God’s throne is thus the source of the flowing grace. To dethrone Him, to take the throne away from Him, is to disregard the source of grace. This causes the flow of grace to cease. This is not a mere doctrine but something very experiential.
