在我们灵里接受并享受主的恩典

Receiving And Enjoying The Grace Of The Lord In Our Spirit
1读经:加拉太书六章6:18,1;1:6;2:21;5:4,约翰福音1:14,16-17,希伯来书10:29b;4:16。
1Scripture Reading: Gal. 6:18, 1; 1:6; 2:21; 5:4; John 1:14, 16-17; Heb. 10:29b; 4:16
平安与恩典
PEACE AND GRACE
2保罗写加拉太书的结语时说,『弟兄们,愿我们主耶稣基督的恩与你们的灵同在。阿们。』保罗在这卷书的开头说,『愿恩典与平安,从神我们的父,并主耶稣基督归与你们。』(一3。)但在这卷书的末了,保罗先说到平安,(六16,)然后说到恩典。保罗在六章十六节说,『凡照这准则而行的,愿平安怜悯临到他们,就是临到神的以色列。』按照这节,平安要临到那些『照这准则而行』的人。这里的准则就是为著那灵撒种以活新造。我们若照这准则而行,平安就会临到我们。神的以色列是由照这准则而行的人组成的。换句话说,凡是为著那灵撒种而活新造的人,都是神的真以色列,平安必然临到他们。保罗用『临到』这辞,含示平安如雨倾注在我们身上。平安如雨临到神的真以色列,临到照这准则而行的人,就是凡为著那灵撒种而活新造的人。神赐平安给祂的真以色列。保罗在六章十七节接著说,『从今以后,人都不要搅扰我,因为我身体上带著耶稣的烙印。』保罗这里的意思似乎是说,『我正在享受平安。其余无论甚么事都不要来搅扰我。我只有一个目标,就是照这准则而行。因为我是神的真以色列的一部分,平安已经赐给我了。我正沐浴在平安之雨底下。不要对我说到律法、割礼或祭司体系的事。从今以后,人都不要搅扰我。』保罗为甚么在加拉太书的开头先题到恩典,再题到平安,而在结尾时,却先题到平安,而后题到恩典?恩典乃是神作了我们的享受,而平安是从恩典产生出来的光景。因此,在开头的时候,我们先有恩典,后有平安。然而,我们一旦藉著恩典进入平安的光景,在纵的一面与神有平安,在横的一面与别人有平安时,我们就需要恩典,保守我们留在这样平安的景况中。
2Paul ends the book of Galatians in this way: “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.” At the beginning of this Epistle, Paul said, “Grace to you and peace from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ” (1:3). But at the end Paul speaks first of peace (6:16) and then of grace. In 6:16 Paul says, “And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace be upon them and mercy, even upon the Israel of God.” According to this verse, peace is upon those who “walk by this rule.” The rule here is that of sowing unto the Spirit to live the new creation. If we walk by this rule, peace will be upon us. The Israel of God consists of those who walk by this rule. In other words, all who live the new creation by sowing unto the Spirit are the true Israel of God, and peace is upon them. Paul’su se of the preposition “upon” implies that peace rains upon us. Peace rains upon the real Israel of God, upon those who walk by the rule of living a new creation by sowing unto the Spirit. God is bestowing peace upon His real Israel. In 6:17 Paul goes on to say, “For the rest let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the brands of Jesus.” Here Paul seems to be saying, “I am enjoying peace. As far as anything else is concerned, do not trouble me. I have just one goal, and that is to walk by this rule. Because I’map art of the true Israel of God, peace is bestowed upon me. I am under the rain of peace. Do not speak to me about the law, circumcision, or the priesthood. For the rest, do not trouble me.” Why at the beginning of Galatians does Paul mention grace before peace and at the ending speak of peace before grace? Grace is God as our enjoyment, and peace is a condition which results from grace. Therefore, at the beginning we first have grace, then peace. But once we enter by grace into a condition of peace both with God vertically and with others horizontally, we need grace to keep us in such a peaceful situation.
恩典与我们的灵同在
GRACE WITH OUR SPIRIT
3按照六章十八节,我们所享受的恩典乃是我们主耶稣基督的恩。不仅如此,保罗指出这恩典与我们的灵同在。在加拉太书保罗只在第六章说到人的灵。他在六章一节说,『弟兄们,即使有人偶然为某种过犯所胜,你们属灵的人,也当用温柔的灵挽回这样的人。』这里的灵是人重生的灵,有圣灵内住并调和。保罗在六章的开始与末了都题到人的灵,这指明六章主要是论到我们的灵。我们若不认识我们人的灵,(这灵已经由圣灵重生,)我们就无法享受基督作那包罗万有的灵。我们可以用电的实际应用来作说明。电虽然已经安装在你家里,你还是需要打开开关。你若不知道开关在那里,你就无法经历电的好处。属天的『电』已经安装在我们里面了,而我们人的灵就是『开关』,藉著开关我们就可以应用电。主耶稣基督的恩–属天的『电』,是与我们的灵─『开关』─同在的。保罗在六章十八节,不是说我们主耶稣基督的恩与我们的心思、情感或意志同在。他清楚而明确的告诉我们,这恩典是与我们的灵同在。你知道你的灵、心思、情感、意志在那里么?你知道牠们之间的分别么?我们知道我们有这些官能,但我们很难给牠们下定义或说出牠们的位置。从经历中我们发现了我们人这几个不同的方面。我们高兴或生气时,是运用情感;我们作决定时,是运用意志;我们思考时,显然是用心思。当夫妻吵嘴时,他们会表达自己激烈的情感,用心思题出自己的理由,并运用意志决定如何应付这种处境。但是他们争吵的时候,他们里面深处有个东西会吩咐他们平静下来。这不是心思、情感或意志。这乃是灵,而灵最主要的部分就是良心。每当良心起作用的时候,就是灵在尽功用。换句话说,你的灵主要是藉著你的良心起作用的。这里的重点乃是:我们里面除了心思、情感和意志以外,还有一个官能,这个官能就是灵。
3According to 6:18, the grace we enjoy is the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Furthermore, Paul points out that this grace is with our spirit. In the book of Galatians Paul refers to the human spirit only in chapter six. In 6:1 he says, “Brothers, if ever a man is overtaken in some offense, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness.” The spirit here is the regenerated human spirit indwelt by and mingled with the Holy Spirit. The fact that Paul mentions the human spirit both at the beginning and at the ending of chapter six indicates that this chapter deals mainly with our spirit. If we do not know our human spirit, which has been regenerated by the Holy Spirit, we have no way to enjoy Christ as the all-inclusive Spirit. We may use the practical application of electricity as an illustration of this. Although electricity has been installed in your home, you still need to use the switch to turn it on. If you do not know where the switch is, you will have no way to experience the benefit of electricity. The heavenly “electricity” has been installed in us, and our human spirit is the “switch” by which we may apply it. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ— the heavenly “electricity”—is with our spirit, the “switch.” In 6:18 Paul does not say that the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with our mind, emotion, or will. He clearly and definitely tells us that this grace is with our spirit. Do you know the location of your spirit, mind, emotion, and will and the difference between them? We know that we have all these faculties, but it is difficult to define them or to locate them. From our experience we have discovered these different aspects of our being. When we are happy or angry, we are exercising the emotion. When we make a decision, we use our will. When we think, we obviously use our mind. When a husband and wife are arguing, they may express their heated emotion, use their mind to present their case, and exercise their will to make decisions concerning the situation. But as they are arguing, something deep within may tell them to settle down and be quiet. This is not the mind, the emotion, or the will. It is the spirit, the leading part of which is the conscience. Whenever the conscience works, the spirit is functioning. In other words, your spirit works primarily through your conscience. The point here is that we have a faculty within us in addition to the mind, emotion, and will, and this faculty is the spirit
4按照圣经,灵的功能就是接触神。当我们听到福音的时候,就为著自己的罪悔改。悔改与我们良心的活动有关。当真理的光得以透过我们的心思,照进我们良心里的时候,我们的良心就叫我们悔改。因此,悔改与我们灵中这领头部分的活动有关。虽然我们得救的当时可能不明白,但那个时候我们就运用灵了。除了悔改以外,我们还向主祷告,并且呼求祂。我们可能会说,『哦,主耶稣,你是我的救赎主。我感谢你在十字架上为我的罪受死。主阿,我爱你,我接受你作我的救主。』我们这样祷告的时候,运用在主里的信心,神的灵就进到我们灵里,重生了我们的灵。我们得救的时候,我们运用灵向主悔改并且接受主。从那时起,那灵就一直住在我们的灵里。因此,灵是我们里面接触神的所在,因为经过过程的三一神,成了包罗万有赐生命的灵,乃是住在我们的灵里。
4According to the Bible, the function of the spirit is to contact God. When we heard the gospel, we repented of our sins. Repentance involves the exercise of our conscience. When the light of the truth was allowed to shine through our mind into our conscience, our conscience caused us to repent. Therefore, repentance involves the exercise of the leading part of our spirit. Although we probably did not realize it at the time, when we were saved, we exercised our spirit. In addition to repenting, we prayed to the Lord and called on Him. We may have said, “O Lord Jesus, You are my Redeemer. I thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. Lord, I love You, and I take You as my Savior.” When we prayed in this way, exercising faith in the Lord, the Spirit of God came into our spirit and regenerated it. At the time we were saved, our spirit was exercised to repent and to receive the Lord. From that time onward, the Spirit has been dwelling in our spirit. Hence, the spirit is the place within us where we contact God, for it is here that the processed Triune God dwells as the all - inclusive life - giving Spirit.
5我们开始祷告的时候,常常是在我们的心思或情感里。但渐渐的我们就把自己祷告到灵里。然后我们就感觉到我们遇见了主,我们和祂是一。没有言语能形容与主成为一灵有多美好。这实在是太享受了!这个享受产生一种确信,知道三一神是真实的。
5Often when we begin to pray, we are in our mind or emotion. But gradually we pray ourselves into the spirit. Then we have the sense that we are meeting the Lord and that we and He are one. No words can describe how good it is to be one spirit with the Lord. How enjoyable this is! This enjoyment brings in the assurance that the Triune God is real
恩典的灵
THE SPIRIT OF GRACE
6我们要明白保罗在六章十八节所说恩典的意义,就需要来看约翰福音。在这卷福音书中,我们读到太初有话,话与神同在,话就是神,话成了肉体,支搭帐幕在我们中间,丰丰满满的有恩典,有实际。(一1,14。)约翰一章十六节说,『从祂的丰满里我们都领受了,而且恩上加恩。』不仅如此,十七节告诉我们:『因为律法是藉著摩西赐的,恩典和实际都是藉著耶稣基督来的。』律法是赐的,而恩典是来的,这个事实指明恩典乃是一个人位。恩典并不是赐的,而是随著耶稣基督一同来的。约翰一章的恩典,就是约翰福音其他地方所题到的那灵。当基督来的时候,有一样奇妙的东西叫作恩典,也随著祂而来了。事实上,这恩典是个奇妙的人位,就是基督耶稣自己。约翰一章十六节说,从基督的丰满里,我们都领受了,而且恩上加恩。但七章三十九节和二十章二十二节给我们看见,我们实际上是接受了那灵,圣气。我们把这几节经文摆在一起,就看见约翰一章的恩典,就是约翰七章和二十章的那灵,圣气。希伯来十章二十九节甚至称那灵为恩典的灵。
6In order to understand what Paul means by grace in 6:1 8, we need to turn to the Gospel of John. In this Gospel we read that the Word which was in the beginning with God, and which was God, became flesh and tabernacled among us, full of grace and reality (1:1, 14). According to John 1:16, “Of His fullness we all received, and grace upon grace.” Furthermore, John 1:17 tells us, “The law was given through Moses; grace and reality came through Jesus Christ.” The fact that the law was given and that grace came indicates that grace is a person. Grace was not given; it came with Jesus Christ. The grace in John 1 is the very Spirit mentioned elsewhere in the Gospel of John. When Christ came, something wonderful, called grace, came with Him. Actually, this grace is a wonderful Person, Christ Jesus Himself. According to John 1:16, of Christ’s fullness we have received grace upon grace. But in John 7:39 and 20:22 we see that we actually received the Spirit, the holy breath. Putting these verses together, we see that the grace in John 1 is the very Spirit, the holy breath, in John 7 and 20. In Hebrews 10:29 the Spirit is even called the Spirit of grace.
7我们说那灵是恩典的灵,并不是说那灵是一个东西,恩典又是另一个东西;就好像『生命之灵』一辞,并不是说那灵与生命是两样不同的东西。相反的,那灵与生命乃是一,那灵与恩典也照样是一。同样,神的光并不是指光是神自己以外的东西;神的光意思就是神就是那光。同样的原则,当圣经说到恩典的灵时,指明那灵就是恩典。我们强调过一件事实,就是恩典乃是神成为我们的享受,恩典就是基督给我们享受。现今我们需要照样强调,恩典实际上就是那灵。恩典是父神具体实化在子的里面,子又实化为那灵。因此,至终那灵就是恩典。我们从经历中得知,我们享受恩典的时候,就享受了那灵。每当我们对那灵在我们里面的运行、涂抹缺少经历时,我们就没有享受恩典。恩典乃是那灵在我们里面的运行、活动与涂抹。我们越有那灵的运行,我们就越享受恩典。
7To say that the Spirit is the Spirit of grace does not mean that the Spirit is one thing and grace is another, just as the expression “the Spirit of life” does not mean that the Spirit and life are two different things. Rather, just as the Spirit and life are one, so the Spirit and grace are one. In the same way, to speak of the light of God does not mean that light is something apart from God Himself. It means that God is the very light. In the same principle, when the Bible speaks of the Spirit of grace, it means the Spirit as grace. We have emphasized the fact that grace is God becoming our enjoyment, that grace is Christ enjoyed by us. Now we need to lay equal stress on the fact that grace is actually the Spirit. Grace is God the Father embodied in the Son and the Son realized as the Spirit. Therefore, ultimately, the Spirit is the very grace. From our experience we know that when we enjoy grace, we enjoy the Spirit. Whenever we are short of the experience of the Spirit moving in us and anointing us, we do not have the enjoyment of grace. Grace is the moving, acting, and anointing of the Spirit within us. The more we have the moving of the Spirit, the more grace we enjoy.
8我们可以再用电为例来说明,我们很可能以为电是一样东西,电流是另一样东西。实际上,电流乃是流动中的电本身。电如果不动,就只是电而已;但电一动起来,就成为电流。这并不是说电流是一样东西,而电又是另一样东西。电流乃是流动中的电。电流的比喻帮助我们明白,恩典的灵实际上就是那灵在我们里面运行、活动并涂抹。这是非常主观的。当我们这样看见恩典时,我们对于甚么是恩典就得著了要领。当然,恩典是在我们身外的一个实际,但恩典进到我们里面时,在我们的经历中,就是那灵。进到我们里面作我们享受的恩典,一点不差就是那灵自己。
8Once again we may use electricity as an illustration. It is possible to think of electricity as one thing and of electrical current as another thing. However, in actuality the current of electricity is electricity itself in motion. If electricity does not move, it remains electricity itself. But as soon as it begins to move, it becomes the electrical current. But the current is not one thing and electricity another. The current is electricity in motion. This illustration of electrical current helps us to realize that the Spirit of grace is actually the Spirit moving, acting, and anointing within us. This matter is very subjective. When we see grace in this way, we have hit the mark concerning what grace is. Grace, of course, exists as a reality apart from us. But when grace comes into us, in our experience it is the Spirit. The grace which enters into us and becomes our enjoyment is nothing less than the Spirit Himself
转向灵、运用灵、并让主登宝座
TURNING TO THE SPIRIT, EXERCISING THE SPIRIT AND ENTHRONING THE LORD
9那么,我们怎样接受并享受恩典?我们若要接受并享受恩典,就需要领悟我们的灵是我们能经历恩典惟一的地方。正如我们使用电只需要打开开关,我们要接触运行并涂抹的那灵,也惟有在我们的灵里。你若想接受恩典并享受恩典,不要运用你的心思、情感或意志。反之,要转向你的灵并运用你的灵。弟兄们通常心思非常活跃,姊妹们通常情感非常强烈。我们需要从我们的心思与情感转回到灵里,在灵里我们会遇见主。
9How then do we receive grace and enjoy it? If we would receive grace and enjoy grace, we need to realize that our spirit is the only place we can experience grace. Just as electricity can be applied only by turning on the switch, so we can contact the moving, anointing Spirit only in our spirit. If you wish to receive grace and enjoy grace, do not exercise your mind, emotion, or will. Instead, turn to your spirit and exercise it. Brothers are usually quite active in the mind, and sisters are usually very strong in the emotion. We need to turn from our mind and emotion back to the spirit, where we shall meet the Lord.
10我们感谢主启示我们祂今天在那里。毫无疑问,今天祂一方面在天上的宝座上,但另一方面祂在我们的灵里给我们经历。希伯来四章十六节说,『所以我们只管坦然无惧的来到施恩的宝座前,为要受怜悯,得恩典,作应时的帮助。』施恩的宝座不只在天上,也在我们灵里。若是施恩的宝座不在我们灵里,只在天上,我们怎能来到施恩的宝座前?有人会争论说,我们的灵不彀大,容不下施恩的宝座。从大小尺寸来看,这样说好像很合理,但我们可以来到施恩的宝座前这个事实,指明在经历中这宝座乃是在我们的灵里。我从经历里得知,我一转向我的灵,呼喊『主耶稣』,我就立刻感觉到施恩的宝座乃是在我的灵里。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。启示录二十二章一至二节给我们看见,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。我们当中许多人可以见证,只要我们不让主登宝座,我们在祷告的时候就不能领受多少恩典。
10We thank the Lord for revealing to us where He is today. There can be no doubt that, on the one hand, He is on the throne in heaven. But, on the other hand, for our experience He is in our spirit. Hebrews 4:16 says, “Let us therefore come forward with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for timely help.” The throne of grace is not only in heaven; it is also in our spirit. If it were not in our spirit as well as in heaven, how could we come forward to it? Some may argue that our spirit is not large enough to contain the throne of grace. Although this may seem logical in terms of size, the fact that we can come forward to the throne of grace indicates that, experientially, it is in our spirit. From my experience I know that when I turn to my spirit and call, “Lord Jesus,” I immediately have the sense that the throne of grace is in my spirit. Whenever 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. In Revelation 22:1 and 2 we see that 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. Many of us can testify that whenever we fail to enthrone the Lord, we do not receive much grace in our times of prayer
11我们若要接受恩典并享受恩典,我们所必须作的第一件事,就是转到我们的灵里,忘掉我们的心思、情感与意志。然而,撒但兴起一样又一样的事端,要叫我们离开灵。他可能在夫妻之间挑起争执。他们吵嘴的时候,就不容易转到灵里,因为他们的争论与情绪都被挑动起来了。我们的争论与情绪一激烈,就不容易转回灵里了。操练转到灵里并留在灵里最好的路,乃是有定时的祷告。若是你每早晨拨出十分钟祷告接触主,在这段时间,你惟一当作的事,就是操练转向灵,并且留在灵里。不要担心你那一天必须作甚么。要拒绝你天然的心思、情感与意志,并且要运用你的灵来接触主。许多基督徒对主没有甚么经历,就是因为他们不运用灵。许多人就是不想在灵里。不仅如此,撒但用他的诡计,惹动我们的心思、情感与意志。所以,我们要学习留在灵中,不被仇敌煽动,不被他从灵里拖出去,这是十分紧要的。我们需要运用我们的灵,保守我们的心思、情感、与意志在合式的地位上。我们若允许我们的心思受搅扰,情感被挑动,就会失去许多从我们的灵里供应生命给人的机会。我们不应当天然的使用我们的心思,也不当任我们的情感被惹动,反倒要操练灵,祷告说,『主阿,你要我作甚么?你要我说甚么?主阿,求你藉著我的话语,从我灵里涌流出来,好供应生命给有需要的人。』这比用我们天然的心思与情感来应付环境好得太多了!这会有多大的区别!我要一再的强调,我们的需要乃是学习留在我们的灵里,并且运用我们的灵。
11If we would receive grace and enjoy grace, the first thing we must do is turn to our spirit and forget our mind, emotion, and will. Satan, however, raises up one thing after another to keep us from the spirit. He may provoke an argument between husband and wife. As they are exchanging words, they will find it difficult to turn to the spirit, for their reasonings and their emotion have been stirred up. When our reasoning and our emotion are strong, we find it very difficult to turn to the spirit. The best way to practice turning to the spirit and staying in the spirit is to have fixed times for prayer. Suppose you set aside ten minutes in the morning to contact the Lord in prayer. During this time, the only thing you should do is exercise yourself to turn to the spirit and stay in the spirit. Do not be concerned about all the things you must do that day. Reject your natural mind, emotion, and will and exercise your spirit to contact the Lord. The reason so many Christians have little experience of the Lord is that they do not exercise their spirit. Many simply do not want to be in the spirit. Furthermore, in his subtlety, Satan seeks to provoke our mind, emotion, and will. Therefore, it is important for us to learn to remain in the spirit and not be provoked and drawn out by the enemy. We need to exercise our spirit to keep our mind, will, and emotion in their proper place. But if we allow our mind to be stirred up and our emotion to be provoked, we shall lose many opportunities to minister life to others from our spirit. Instead of using our mind in a natural way and instead of allowing our emotion to be provoked, we should exercise our spirit and pray, “Lord, what do You want me to do, and what do You want me to say? Lord, flow out from my spirit through my words to supply life to those in need.” How much better this is than using our natural mind and emotion to deal with situations! What a vast difference this makes! Again and again, I wish to emphasize the fact that our need is to learn to remain in our spirit and to use our spirit
12当我们转回灵里并且留在灵里时,我们需要承认主是元首、是王,并要让祂登宝座。我们需要尊崇祂的地位,尊重祂的权柄,并且承认我们没有权利凭自己说甚么或作甚么。我们里面所有的地位都必须交给这位王。我们若让主在我们里面登宝座,生命水的河就会从宝座上流出来供应我们。这样,我们就会接受恩典并享受恩典。
12When we turn to the spirit and stay there, we need to recognize the Lord as the Head and the King and enthrone Him. We need to respect His position, honor His authority, and confess that we have no right to say or do anything on our own. All the ground within us must be given over to the King. If we enthrone the Lord within us, the river of water of life will flow out from the throne to supply us. In this way we shall receive grace and enjoy grace
13恩典一点不差就是三一神成了我们的享受。父具体化身在子里,子实化为那灵。这灵乃是三一神的终极完成,现今住在我们的灵里。我们今天的需要乃是转回到这灵里,并且留在灵里,让主登宝座。这样,我们的灵就实际的连于三层天。我们就会在经历里明白,至圣所一面是在天上,另一面也在我们灵里。这指明当我们留在灵里,我们实际上就摸著了天。我们若让主耶稣在我们里面登宝座,作为生命水的那灵就会从宝座上流出来供应我们。这就是恩典,也是接受恩典并享受恩典的路。
13Grace is nothing less than the Triune God becoming our enjoyment. The Father is embodied in the Son, and the Son is realized as the Spirit. This Spirit, the ultimate consummation of the Triune God, now dwells in our spirit. Our need today is to turn to this spirit and remain there, enthroning the Lord. Then in a very practical way our spirit will be joined to the third heaven. We shall realize in our experience that, on the one hand, the Holy of Holies is in heaven and that, on the other hand, it is also in our spirit. This indicates that when we remain in our spirit, we actually touch the heavens. If we enthrone the Lord Jesus within us, the Spirit as the water of life will flow from the throne to supply us. This is grace, and this is the way to receive grace and enjoy grace.
14我们接受三一神作我们的恩典并享受祂作恩典时,就要由祂所构成。我们就要一点一点生机的与祂成为一。祂要成为我们的构成成分,我们要成为祂的彰显。
14As we receive the Triune God as our grace and enjoy Him as grace, we shall be constituted of Him. Little by little, we shall become one with Him organically. He will become our constituent, and we shall become His expression
