在灵里经历那灵的工作

Being in the Spirit to experience the work of the Spirit
1读经：罗马书8:4-16,23,26-27。保罗在罗马八章九节说，『但神的灵若住在你们里面，你们就不在肉体里，乃在灵里了；然而人若没有基督的灵，就不是属基督的。』我们在前一篇信息里曾指出，属基督是一件地位的事，而在灵里则是一件光景的事。我们是属基督的，这个地位已经一次永远的决定了，但是在灵里的光景则会起伏不定。为这缘故，我们需要来看，如何稳定我们在灵里的光景。
1Scripture Reading: Rom. 8:4-16, 23, 26-27 In 8:9 Paul says, “But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone has not the Spirit of Christ, he is not of Him.” In the foregoing message we pointed out that to be of Christ is a matter of position, but to be in spirit is a matter of condition. The position that we are of Christ is settled once for all; however, the condition of being in spirit may fluctuate. For this reason, we need to consider how to stabilize our condition of being in the spirit
宣告我们在灵里
DECLARING THAT WE ARE IN THE SPIRIT
2要稳定这光景有一条路，就是宣告我们在灵里。要学习说，『我在灵里！』已往我鼓励你们呼喊：『哦，主耶稣！』现在我鼓励你们说，『我在灵里！』有时候我们只要说，『哦！』就能接触主，不一定每次都要说，『哦，主耶稣！』同样的原则，我们也不必每次都说『我在灵里』，也许只要说『在灵里』就彀了。你若快要发脾气，要操练说『哦！』或『在灵里！』这会帮助你留在灵里。照九节来看，我们在灵里，是因为神的灵住在我们里面。我们宣告我们在灵里这个事实，就能使我们留在这光景里。
2One way to stabilize this condition is to declare that we are in the spirit. Learn to say, “I am in spirit!” In the past I encouraged you to call, “O Lord Jesus.” Now I am encouraging you to say, “I am in spirit.” Sometimes we can contact the Lord simply by saying “O”; it is not always necessary to say, “O Lord Jesus.” In the same principle, we do not always need to say, “I am in spirit,” for it may be adequate simply to say the word “in.” If you are about to lose your temper, exercise yourself to say “O” or “in.” This will help you to remain in the spirit. According to verse 9, we are in the spirit since the Spirit of God dwells in us. Now we can remain in this condition by declaring the fact that we are in the spirit
3在今天的基督徒当中，有许多论到如何经历那灵的教训。我可以作见证，这些教训可能会拦阻我们经历那灵的工作。保罗在罗马八章并没有说，『你们要脱离罪与死的律，就必须禁食祷告。罪的律太可怕，并且太有能力了，你们是胜不过的。那就是为甚么我呼喊：「我是个苦恼的人！」谁要救我？』保罗并不是这样来教导信徒。保罗也没有教导说，信徒必须先向神和人承认他们一切的罪，然后才能经历那灵。我们若回想我们是如何得救的，会帮助我们领会九节所说的在灵里这件事。我们听见人传福音，就认同、承认了。我们不需要说，『从今以后，我行事为人必须讨神的喜悦。已往我犯了许多罪。如果我承认我的罪，定意改良自己的行为，就会得救。』这是不对的。这种错误的观念会多年影响一个人的基督徒生活。当人听了福音的宣扬之后，只该很强的说，『阿们！』并且说，『主耶稣，谢谢你。』凡是听见人传福音，有心接受、承认人所宣扬之事的，都必得救。
3Among Christians today, there are many teachings concerning how to experience the Spirit. I can testify that these teachings may hinder us from experiencing the work of the Spirit. In Romans 8 Paul does not say, “In order to be freed from the law of sin and death, you must fast and pray. The law of sin is terrible, and it is too powerful for you to overcome. That is why I cried out, ‘Wretched man that I am. Who can deliver me?’” Paul did not teach the believers in this way. Neither did he teach that believers must confess all their sins to both God and man before they can experience the Spirit. To understand the matter of being in the spirit as mentioned in verse 9, it will be helpful to consider how we were saved. When we heard the proclamation of the gospel, we recognized it and acknowledged it. There was no need for us to say, “From now on I must behave myself in a way that pleases God. In the past I have done many sinful things. If I confess my sins and make up my mind to improve my behavior, then I’ll be saved.” This is wrong. This mistaken concept can affect a person’s Christian life for years. After a person hears the proclamation of the gospel, he should simply utter a strong, “Amen!” and say, “Thank You, Lord Jesus.” Anyone who has the heart to accept, to acknowledge, what has been proclaimed to him through the preaching of the gospel will certainly be saved.
承认福音的宣扬
ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROCLAMATION
OF THE GOSPEL
4这样承认神的救恩，不仅能帮助人得救，就是对他将来的基督徒生活，也有莫大的帮助。基督徒生活的每一方面，都需要这种承认。甚么时候人承认神的救恩，对福音说『阿们』，并且感谢主耶稣，神的灵就立刻进到他里面。以弗所一章十三至十四节可以证明这事：『你们既听了真理的话，就是那叫你们得救的福音，也在祂里面信了，就在祂里面受了所应许的圣灵为印记；这圣灵是我们得基业的凭质，为使神所买的产业得赎，使祂的荣耀得著称赞。』这里我们看见，当福音传讲、宣扬给我们，我们也承认时，我们便立刻受了神的灵为印记。从那时起，那灵就进到我们里面，并且住在我们里面。这意思是说，神的灵内住的这个事实，乃是从我们承认福音的时候开始的。一个人这样承认福音，说阿们，并且为著主救恩的宣扬感谢主，即使他作得十分软弱，结果也是一样。就在那一刻，神的灵就进到他里面，并且开始住在他里面。一个传福音者若与神是一，并且是照著神，他就会进一步对新得救的人说，他既然相信了基督，也接受了那灵，就应当留在灵里。他可以告诉这位初信者说，『你现在不仅属于基督，属于那灵，你更是在灵里。从现在起，你只要留在灵里就彀了。每当你有个念头或欲望，想作违背主的事情时，你应当宣告说，「我在灵里！」这对你的基督徒生活会有莫大的帮助。』
4Such an acknowledgment of God’ss alvation not only helps a person to be saved; it is also a great help to that one’s Christian life in the future. Every aspect of the Christian life requires this kind of acknowledgment. Whenever a person acknowledges God’ss alvation, says amen to the gospel, and thanks the Lord Jesus, the Spirit of God enters into him immediately. This is proved by Ephesians 1:13 and 14: “In Whom you also, hearing the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, in Whom also believing, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise, Who is the pledge of our inheritance, unto the redemption of the acquired possession to the praise of His glory.” Here we see that when the gospel is preached, proclaimed to us, and we acknowledge it, we are immediately sealed with the Spirit of God. From that time onward, the Spirit enters us and dwells in us. This means that the fact of being indwelt by the Spirit of God begins from the time we acknowledge the gospel. This is true even if a person in a weak way makes this acknowledgment, says amen, and thanks the Lord for the proclamation of His salvation. At that very moment, the Spirit of God comes into him and begins to dwell in him. If a preacher of the gospel is one with God and according to God, he will go on to explain to a newly saved one that, since he has believed in Christ and received the Spirit, he should remain in the spirit. He may tell the new believer, “Right now you are not only of Christ and of the Spirit, but you are also in the spirit. Just stay in the spirit from now on. Whenever the thought or the desire comes to you to do something that is contrary to the Lord, you should declare, ‘I am in the spirit.’ This will be a great help to you in your Christian life
5有一首著名福音诗歌的副歌说，『这是我见证，是我诗歌，赞美我救主，终日欢乐！』（诗歌二六五首。）我们若述说我们在灵里的事实，那么在灵里也会成为我们的见证和诗歌。我们会终日赞美救主，说，因为神的灵住在我们里面，所以我们现今在灵里。这是非常有效的豫防注射，用以对付仇敌差遣来搅扰我们基督徒生活的一切『病菌』。
5The well-known chorus of a gospel song says, “This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long.” If we speak the fact that we are in the spirit, our story and song will be that we are in spirit. All day long we may praise the Savior that, because the Spirit of God dwells in us, we are now in the spirit. This will be a very effective inoculation against all the “bugs” sent by the enemy to trouble us in the Christian life.
受打岔离开灵
DISTRACTED FROM THE SPIRIT
6许多基督徒接受了一些教训，使他们受打岔离开灵。有些人接受这样的教导：『现在你既是神的儿女，就必须有好的行为来荣耀神。然而，魔鬼非常忙碌，他从不睡觉。他会试探你、引诱你，叫你作许多恶事。你以前是在他的控制之下，如今你既成为神的儿女，他是不会放你过去的。他会作许多事来搅扰你。因此，你需要禁食、祷告，尽你所能的来过正当的基督徒生活。』我们从经历得知，这种教训会使我们受打岔离开灵。我们越定意要有好行为来荣耀神，我们就越像罗马七章所描述那个苦恼的人。
6Many Christians have received teachings that distract them from the spirit. Some have been taught in this way: “Now that you are a child of God, you must behave yourself and glorify God. The Devil, however, is busy. He never sleeps. He will tempt you, seduce you, and cause you to do many evil things. Formerly, you were under his control. Now that you have become a child of God, he will not let you go. Instead, he will do many things to trouble you. Therefore, you need to fast, pray, and exert all your effort to live a proper Christian life.” We have learned from experience that this kind of teaching distracts us from the spirit. The more we make up our mind to behave ourselves for the glory of God, the more we become like the wretched man described in Romans 7
7那些失败的基督徒寻求传道人的劝告，可能受劝勉要更多的祷告或更多的读经。但这些活动若仅仅是我们自己的作为，也能叫我们把那灵的开关『关上』。神圣的电已经安装在我们里面。开关一旦打开，我们就不该关上。但是许多基督徒因著他们无知的作为，就把开关关上了。结果，有些人就开始怀疑自己是否真的得救，或是否真有那灵。这会使他们从一个基督徒团体，转到另一个团体，为要寻求帮助。这就是今天许多基督徒中间的光景。这种光景与福音的大喜信息截然不同。福音乃是这样：神在永世里拣选了我们，豫定了我们，也将我们标明出来；然后有一天，神的儿子来了，成就了一切，为要拯救我们；祂已经经过成为肉体、人性生活、钉十字架、以及复活的过程，成为赐生命的灵。当你听见人所宣扬的大喜信息，并且承认了，这赐生命的灵就进到你里面，开始住在你的灵里。如今你只需要留在灵里，不要作任何使你离开灵的事。相反的，你只要宣告你在灵里。要宣扬这个奇妙的事实：『福音是一种宣扬，我已经承认了。如今神的灵住在我里面，我乃是在灵里。』我们若在信心里这样宣告，就没有甚么能彀击败我们。相反的，凡事都会在我们的脚下。这乃是大喜的信息、基督的福音、神的福音。何等的美妙！
7Defeated Christians who seek the advice of preachers may be exhorted to pray more or to read the Bible more. But even these activities, when they are simply our own doings, can cause us to “switch off” the spirit. The divine electricity has been installed into us. Once it has been switched on, we should not turn the switch off. However, by their innocent doings, many Christians have turned off the switch. As a result, some begin to doubt if they have truly been saved, or if they really have the Spirit. This may cause them to go from one Christian group to another seeking help. This is the situation among many of today’s Christians. This kind of situation is very different from the good news of the gospel. The gospel is this: God selected us, predestinated us, and marked us out in eternity. Then one day the Son of God came to accomplish everything for our salvation. He has passed through the process of incarnation, human living, crucifixion, and resurrection and has become the life-giving Spirit. When you heard the proclamation of the good news and acknowledged it, this life - giving Spirit entered into you and began to dwell in your spirit. Now just stay in the spirit. Do not do anything that will take you away from the spirit. On the contrary, just declare that you are in the spirit. Proclaim this wonderful fact: “The gospel was a proclamation, and I have acknowledged it. Now the Spirit of God dwells in me, and I am in the spirit.” If we declare this in faith, nothing will be able to defeat us. On the contrary, everything will be under our feet. This is the glad tidings, the gospel of Christ, and the gospel of God. How marvelous!
8有些人作了基督徒很久，可能还有挫折与失败的回忆。因此，当他们听见有人宣扬，神的灵既然住在我们里面，我们就在灵里的事实，他们会问许多不同的问题。他们怀疑这个，怀疑那个。我们需要将这一切事全忘记，并且宣告我们是在灵里。不要说，『我在工作上的难处、在家里的难处怎么办？』却要说，『我在灵里！』『在…里』这个不起眼的辞，意义非常重大。根据罗马八章一节，现今那些在基督耶稣里的，就没有定罪了。照八章九节来看，神的灵既然住在我们里面，我们就不在肉体里，乃在灵里了。我们无须尽力去作许多事；我们只须承认这些事实，并且宣告这些事实。当我还是一个寻求主的年轻基督徒时，我买了许多如何祷告、如何圣别、以及如何胜过罪的书报。我总是对『如何』感兴趣：如何属灵、如何得胜、如何讨神喜悦、如何传福音。但至终我知道，这些书报不能帮助我。与其阅读一些怎样作这个、怎样作那个的书，还不如逐节阅读并且祷读罗马八章。这会使你满了享受。你需要特别注意九节，专注于『在灵里』这几个字。我们需要一遍又一遍的祷告，并且宣告我们在灵里的这个事实。
8Those who have been Christians for a long time may still have memories of defeats and failures. Thus, when they hear about proclaiming the fact that since the Spirit of God dwells in us, we are in the spirit, they may ask questions about different things. They may wonder about this and that. We need to forget all these matters and proclaim that we are in spirit. Do not say, “How about my problems at work or at home?” Instead, say, “I am in spirit.” The small word “in” has very great significance. According to 8:1, there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ. According to 8:9, since the Spirit of God dwells in us, we are not in the flesh, but in the spirit. There is no need for us to try to do so many things. We should simply acknowledge the facts and proclaim them. When I was a young Christian seeking the Lord, I bought many books on subjects such as how to pray, how to be holy, and how to overcome sin. I was always interested in “how to”: how to be spiritual, how to be victorious, how to please God, how to preach the gospel. However, eventually I learned that these books could not help me. Instead of reading books on how to do this or that, it is better to read and pray- read Romans 8 verse by verse. This will fill you with enjoyment. You need to give special attention to verse 9, concentrating on the words “in the spirit.” Again and again, we need to pray over and declare the fact that we are in the spirit
调和的灵
THE MINGLED SPIRIT
9『在灵里』这辞里的『灵』字，在英文里究竟是不是应该大写，实在很难决定。困难的原因在于这个字是指调和的灵，就是神圣的灵与我们重生之人的灵调和。十六节题到这两个灵：『那灵自己同我们的灵见证我们是神的儿女。』这一节并不是说那灵见证，我们的灵也见证，乃是说那灵同我们的灵见证。说那灵同我们的灵见证，比说那灵与我们的灵见证更深，因为这指明两个灵乃是一。说那灵与我们的灵见证，表示这两个灵仍然是两位。但说那灵同我们的灵见证，就指明这两个灵已经调和为一了。
9It is difficult to determine if the word spirit in the phrase “in the spirit” should be capitalized. The reason for the difficulty is that this word refers to the mingled spirit, to the divine Spirit mingled with our regenerated human spirit. Verse 16 refers to these two spirits: “The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are the children of God.” This verse does not say that the Spirit witnesses and our spirit witnesses also. It says the Spirit witnesses with our spirit. To say that the Spirit witnesses with our spirit is deeper than saying that the Spirit and our spirit witness, for it indicates that the two spirits are one. To say that the Spirit and our spirit witness means that these spirits remain two. But to say that the Spirit witnesses with our spirit indicates that the two spirits have been mingled and have become one.
内住之灵的工作
THE WORK OF THE INDWELLING SPIRIT
10现在我们接著要从罗马八章来看，那灵有福之工作的各方面。第一，那灵是内住的灵。（9，11。）那灵住在我们里面，乃是一件大事。假如美国总统来到你所住的城里，并且在你家里停留片刻，那会被视为殊荣、荣幸。但我们有一位远比总统高得多的住在我们里面–我们有神的灵住在我们的灵里！
10Now let us go on to consider from Romans 8 the various aspects of the blessed work of the Spirit. First, the Spirit is the indwelling Spirit (vv. 9, 11). It is a great matter to have the Spirit indwelling us. Suppose the President of the United States came to your city and stayed for a while in your home. That would be considered a great honor and privilege. But we have someone much higher than the President dwelling in us—we have the Spirit of God dwelling in our spirit
11那灵的第二个功用，乃是分赐生命。那灵住在我们里面，并非无所事事；祂乃是积极的将生命分赐给我们。内住的灵乃是赐生命的灵。13:十三节给我们看见那灵的第三个功用：『因为你们若照肉体活著，必要死；但你们若靠著那灵治死身体的行为，必要活著。』照著这一节，那灵不但赐人生命，也有杀死、治死的功用。在积极方面，那灵赐人生命；在消极方面，那灵杀死并清除我们里面一切消极的事物。第四，十四节说到那灵引导的功用：『因为凡被神的灵引导的，都是神的儿子。』内住的灵引导我们，祂的引导是非常甜美的。我们中间许多人能作见证，有时我们也许想作别的事情，但那灵却引导我们去参加召会的聚会。赞美祂，祂是引导我们的那位！
11The second function of the Spirit is to give life. As the Spirit indwells us, He is not idle. Rather, He is active to impart life to us. The indwelling Spirit is the life- giving Spirit, the Spirit who gives life. The third function of the Spirit is found in verse “For if you live according to flesh, you are about to die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the practices of the body, you will live.” According to this verse, the Spirit not only gives life, but also kills, puts to death. Positively, the Spirit gives life; negatively, He kills and clears away all the negative things within us. Fourth, in verse 14 we have the function of the Spirit’s leading: “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” The indwelling Spirit leads us, and His leading is so sweet. Many of us can testify that it is the Spirit who leads us to the church meetings when we may be inclined to do something else. Praise Him that He is the One leading us!
12十五节给我们看见那灵的第五个功用：『你们所受的不是奴役的灵，仍旧害怕；所受的乃是儿子名分的灵，在这灵里，我们呼叫：阿爸，父。』那灵呼叫『阿爸，父』是非常甜美的。每当我们呼叫『阿爸，父』时，我们都觉得甘甜、舒畅。那灵实在是呼叫的灵。第六，我们已经指出，照著十六节，那灵自己同我们的灵见证。因此，那灵是作见证的灵。因著那灵的见证，我们里面就有证实与见证，我们是神的儿女。有一位永活者，就是内住的灵，在我们里面见证我们是神的儿女。
12Romans 8:15 gives us the fifth function of the Spirit: “For you have not received a spirit of slavery to fear again, but you have received a spirit of sonship in which we cry, Abba, Father.” The Spirit cries, “Abba, Father,” in a very sweet way. Whenever we cry, “Abba, Father,” we sense sweetness and comfort. Truly the Spirit is the crying Spirit. As we have already pointed out, according to verse 16, the Spirit witnesses with our spirit. Hence, He is the witnessing Spirit. Because of the witness of the Spirit, we have the confirmation and testimony within us that we are children of God. There is a living One, the indwelling Spirit, witnessing in us that we are children of God
13第七，二十六节说，『况且，那灵也照样帮同担负我们的软弱；我们本不晓得当怎样祷告，只是那灵亲自用说不出来的叹息，为我们代求。』在这里我们看见，那灵尽功用来帮同担负我们的软弱。我们如果不软弱，那灵还不会帮同担负我们。然而，正因我们是软弱的，那灵就成了我们的伙伴，帮同我们的软弱，分担我们的软弱。这是奇妙的福分，是人的言语无法解释得完全的。
13Seventh, verse 26 says, “And in like manner the Spirit also joins in to help us in our weakness; for we do not know for what we should pray as is fitting, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” Here we see that the Spirit functions by joining in to help us in our weakness. If we were not weak, the Spirit would not join in to help us. But simply because we are weak, He becomes our partner helping us in our weakness and sharing our weakness. This is a wonderful blessing which human words cannot explain adequately
14第八，二十七节说到那灵的代祷：『那鉴察人心的，晓得那灵的意思，因为祂是照著神为圣徒代求。』二十六节也题到那灵的代求，告诉我们，那灵亲自用说不出来的叹息，为我们代求。按照这两节，那灵的代求不是在诸天之上，乃是在我们里面。请注意：二十七节说，那鉴察人心的神，晓得那灵的意思。这指明神不仅自己与我们的灵调和，甚至祂的心思也与我们的心调和。神鉴察我们的心，好晓得那灵的意思。这就是说，那灵的心思与我们的心是一。就著这一点，我要问一个问题：是那26灵在叹息，还是我们在叹息？二十六节说，那灵亲自用说不出来的叹息，为我们代求。当然，叹息的人是我们，但我们的叹息就是那灵的代求。这再一次指明，我们与那灵，那灵与我们乃是一。我们的叹息成了那灵的代求。不仅如此，那灵的心思是连于我们的心。太奇妙了！那灵不仅与我们的灵调和，祂的心思也与我们的心调和，并且祂的代求就在我们的叹息里！祂这样与我们是一，这是何等的美妙！末了，根据二十三节，我们有『那灵初熟的果子』。（直译。）我们今天所享受的，不过是初熟的果子，还不是完满的收成。初熟的果子是那要来之全享的样品、豫尝和担保。正如二十三节所指明的，这全享与我们身体的得赎有关。今天我们是在灵里享受三一神，至多也只是在魂里享受。我们的身体尚未进入对三一神完满的享受里。因此，我们的身体需要得赎。当我们享受那灵初熟的果子时，我们就期待将来要得著全享，就是我们的身体得赎。
14Eighth, in verse 27 we have the interceding of the Spirit: “But He Who searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He intercedes for the saints according to God.” The interceding of the Spirit is also mentioned in verse 26, where we are told that the Spirit intercedes for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. According to these verses, the Spirit’s interceding takes place not in the heavens, but within us. Notice that verse 27 says that God searching our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit. This indicates that He has mingled Himself not only with our spirit, but even that He has mingled His mind with our heart. God searches our heart to know the mind of the Spirit. This means that the mind of the Spirit is one with our heart. At this point let me ask a question: Is it the Spirit who groans, or are we the ones groaning? Verse says that the Spirit intercedes with groanings which cannot be uttered. Surely we are the ones groaning. But our groaning is the Spirit’s interceding. This indicates once again that we and the Spirit, the Spirit and we, are one. Our groanings become the Spirit’s interceding. Furthermore, the Spirit’s mind is involved with our heart. How wonderful that the Spirit is not only mingled with our spirit, but His mind is mingled with our heart and His interceding is in our groaning! How marvelous that He is one with us in this way! Eventually, according to verse 2 3, we have “the firstfruit of the Spirit.” What we are enjoying today is just the firstfruit, not yet the full harvest. The firstfruit is an example, a foretaste, a guarantee, of the full taste which is coming. As verse 23 indicates, this full taste is related to the redemption of our body. Today we are enjoying the Triune God in our spirit and, at most, also in our soul. Our body has not yet been brought into the full enjoyment of the Triune God. Therefore, we need the redemption of our body. While we are enjoying the firstfruit of the Spirit, we are expecting in the future to enjoy the full taste, the redemption of our body.
15留在灵里不是一件无关紧要的事。当我们留在灵里时，我们就享受那灵的内住、分赐生命、杀死、引导、呼叫、作见证、帮同担负我们的软弱、以及代求。至终，我们享受那灵作三一神初熟的果子，将来三一神还要成为我们的全享。这不仅仅是教训，更是事实的揭示与宣扬，好作我们的享受。
15It is not an insignificant matter to remain in the spirit. When we stay in the spirit, we enjoy the Spirit’sin dwelling, life-giving, killing, leading, crying, witnessing, joining in to help in our weakness, and interceding. Eventually, we enjoy Him as the firstfruit of the Triune God, who will become our full taste. This is not a mere teaching; it is an unveiling and also a proclamation of the facts for our enjoyment.
16当你读到那灵工作的各方面时，你无须禁食、祷告，只要对那灵的每一项功用说阿们：『在灵里，阿们。内住，阿们。赐生命，阿们。治死，阿们。引导，阿们。呼叫，阿们。作见证，阿们。担负，阿们。代求，阿们。初熟的果子，阿们。阿们，我在灵里，享受那灵在我里面的工作。』我鼓励你们阿们罗马八章的每一节，特别是『在灵里』这个辞。你若宣扬你在灵里的事实，并向那灵工作的每一方面都说阿们，你就会经历基督徒生活中的改变。这会变化你、建造你，并且使你的生命长大。
16When you read of all these aspects of the work of the Spirit, there is no need to fast and pray. Instead, just say amen to each function of the Spirit: “In the spirit, amen. Indwelling, amen. Life-giving, amen. Putting to death, amen. Leading, amen. Crying, amen. Witnessing, amen. Joining in, amen. Interceding, amen. Firstfruit, amen. Amen, I am in the spirit, enjoying the work of the Spirit in me.” I encourage you to amen every verse in Romans 8, especially the phrase “in the spirit.” If you proclaim the fact that you are in the spirit and say amen to each aspect of the work of the Spirit, you will experience a change in your Christian life. This will transform you, build you up, and give you the growth in life
