15你需要认识，这个对头在你里面。许多时候他会假装是你，叫你不晓得原来是他，还以为是你自已。常常你出了错，你不该太过于责怪自己，反而要对撒但说，『撒但，你必须承受责备，因为这不是我，这乃是你。』你敢对撒但这样说么？你可能不彀胆量这样说，因为你受了他的欺骗。一九三六年以前，我就受他欺骗了十一年多。每逢有些污秽的思想进入我的心思，我就同主认罪，告诉主我真坏，求主赦免我。但是我越认罪，污秽的思想来得越多。一九三六年的某一天，我看见我原来受欺骗了，那些思想并不是我的思想，而是那恶者的思想。从那时起，我不再为这些事认罪了，反而说，『撒但，把这思想拿走！我再也不上你的当！这不是我的思想，乃是你的！撒但，把牠拿走罢！你应当被定罪。』不要对撒但客气，也不要受他欺骗，要放胆这样对他说话。撒但在你里面，所以他能冒充你；因此，你必须对他说，『撒但，这不是我，乃是你。我不管你在我外面还是在我里面，你就是你，你就是对头。』要学习这样对撒但说话。不要受欺骗，相信自己真是那么坏。真正坏的是撒但，并不是你。从前我们在悔改之前，绝不肯承认自己是坏人，反而很狂傲的说，『我没有罪，我是完全的。』但我们悔改了，得救了，又蒙了恩典以后，那个对头就狡猾的来了，叫我们觉得自己是那么污秽，那么败坏，这是出于那对头的思想。多年来我还不懂仇敌与对头有甚么分别。撒但是对头，甚至在召会中冒充一些他所不是的东西。在马太十六章二十二节，我们看见彼得受了欺骗，以为是自己说话，其实却是撒但说话。主立刻暴露了那对头，说，『撒但，退我后面去罢！』（太十六23。）照样，在我们的经历里，许多时候有些事情并不是我们作的，乃是那对头撒但作的。
15You need to realize that this adversary is inside of you. Many times he will pretend to be you. Not realizing that it is he, you may think that it is you. Often when you are wrong, you should not blame yourself that much. Rather, you should say, “Satan, you must bear the blame because this is not I, but you.” Dare you say this to Satan? You may not be bold to say this because you have been deceived. Before 1936, I was deceived for over eleven years. When filthy thoughts entered my mind, I confessed them, telling the Lord how bad I was and asking Him to forgive me. But the more I confessed, the more these unclean thoughts came in. One day, in 1936, I saw that I was being cheated. These thoughts were not mine; they were the thoughts of the evil one. From that time onward, I have not confessed these things anymore. Instead, I say, “Satan, take this away. I refuse to be cheated by you. This is not my thought; it is yours. Now get rid of it. Satan, you must be condemned.” Do not be kind to Satan and do not be cheated by him. Be bold to speak this way to him. Satan is within you. Because of this, he pretends to be you. Thus, you must say to him, “Satan, this is not I—it is you. I don’t care whether you are outside of me or inside of me—you are you. You are the adversary.” Learn to say this to him. Do not be cheated into believing that you are that bad. Satan, not you, is the bad one. Before we repented, we did not admit that we were bad. Rather, we were arrogant, saying, “I’m not sinful—I’m perfect.” But after we repented, were saved, and received grace, the adversary subtly came to us, causing us to think that we were so dirty and so bad. That is the thought of the adversary. For many years, I did not know the difference between the enemy and the adversary. As the adversary, Satan is even in the church pretending to be something that he is not. In Matthew 16:22 we see that Peter was cheated. Peter thought that he was speaking, but actually it was Satan. The Lord exposed the adversary, saying, “Get behind Me, Satan” (Matt. 16:23). Likewise, in our experience, many times it is not we who do certain things; it is Satan, the adversary
