聖經經節
約翰一書五11：這見證就是神賜給我們永遠的生命，這生命也是在祂兒子裏面。
12：人有了神的兒子，就有生命；…
林前一30：但你們得在基督耶穌裡，是出於神，這基督成了從神給我們的智慧：公義、聖別和救贖。
職事的話
得勝的祕訣就是不必逐漸來得勝。我們藉著信心，就知道基督是我們的得勝。得勝就是基督；信心使基督的一切能實現在我們身上。神的恩典已經將主耶穌賜給我們了，今天，我們的信心就接受神所賜給我們的，使基督的生命、能力、自由、聖潔能從我們身上顯出來。
這一個奧祕的聯合是神作的，叫基督所有不可推測的豐富都變作我們的…現在祂是我們的義、聖潔、救贖，現在祂要從我們裏面活出祂的生命來，我們信麼？神現在請我們，也命令我們相信，我們是與主耶穌合一的，像主耶穌與神是合一的一樣，因此祂的忍耐、溫柔、清潔、善良，都是我們的。從前我們怎樣信祂作我們的義，現在我們也照樣信祂作我們的聖潔。弟兄們，你們知道許多人的失敗就是在此。他們知道了神得勝的方法，但是他們並沒有信心。他們知道了自己的無能，但是他們卻不知道基督的有能。他們知道了自己肉體的完全敗壞，卻看不見基督的豐富已經都是神給他們的恩賜。

Mixing Faith with God's Word
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bible Verses ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 Cor 1:30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became
wisdom to us from God: both righteousness and sanctification
and redemption,
Heb 4:2 For indeed we have had the good news announced to us,
even as they also; but the word heard did not profit them, not
being mixed together with faith in those who heard.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Words of Ministry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The greatest problem among God's children today is that they
cannot believe God's Word... Brothers and sisters, please
remember that God's Word is trustworthy. We are not trusting
our own experience. We are not believing our own feelings. We
are believing God's Word. God says that the Lord Jesus has not
only become our righteousness on the cross, but that Christ
has become our sanctification through living within us.
Therefore, we can say that Christ is not only our
righteousness but also our sanctification.
We do not have to feel that Christ is our life, and we do not
have to feel that Christ is our sanctification. We believe
that He is our life and that He is our sanctification. God's
Word is reliable. When God says that Christ is our life, we
also say that He is our life. When God says that Christ is our
sanctification, we also say that He is our sanctification.
When God says that Christ is our victory, we also say that He
is our victory. Whatever God says, we believe.

Faith Not Being Feeling
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bible Verses ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2 Cor 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by appearance)
Rom 10:17 So faith comes out of hearing, and hearing through
the word of Christ.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Words of Ministry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some people are not hoping, praying, or waiting, but they are
looking for feelings. A sister said that she had surrendered
and believed that the Lord was living in her, but she dared
not say that she had overcome. This was because from the day
she received the Lord Jesus as her victory, she had never had
any feeling about it... There may be some occasions when
feelings are useful. However, feelings are useless in
understanding the things of God. The hand can only touch
things and sense their temperature; it cannot see a picture.
Spiritual things can be substantiated only by faith; they
cannot be substantiated by feelings. We overcome because of
the Word of God. God speaks, and it is done. This is not a
matter of feeling some kind of strength or experiencing some
exuberant sensation for a few days. In order to overcome,
there needs to be only one word from the Lord.
God has given us a covenant which says that meekness is ours,
patience is ours, and love, temperance, and everything in
Christ are ours. But when you lose your temper again, and your
pride, uncleanness, and failures come back, what should you
do? If you believe God’s Word, you should say, “God, I thank
and praise You because I can be meek, patient, humble, loving,
and temperate. I can be all these because Christ is living in
me.” As long as you grasp hold of God’s Word, the things you
fear will go away.

Faith Not Being Hope
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bible Verses ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 John 5:4 For everything that has been begotten of God
overcomes the world; and this is the victory which has
overcome the world—our faith.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Words of Ministry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now we need to ask what faith is not. Faith is not hope. Those
who have hope do not necessarily have faith. When you talk to
others about overcoming and ask whether they have overcome,
you know that they do not have faith if they answer, “I hope I
will overcome.” This is like talking to someone about
salvation. If he tells you that he hopes to be saved, you know
that he does not have the faith yet. Some people constantly
hope that the Lord will save them, and they constantly hope
that the Lord will help them overcome. Some people constantly
pray and ask the Lord to make them overcome. Some people
constantly wait for the Lord to make them overcome. Some
people say that they have surrendered and believed, but they
are still waiting to see whether it will work. If they want to
wait and see whether this works, it will never work, because
faith is not hope.

舊人只配釘十字架
聖經經節
羅馬六6：知道我們的舊人已經與祂同釘十字架，…
加拉太二20：我已經與基督同釘十字架；現在活著的，不再是我，乃是基督在我裡面活著；…
職事的話
弟兄姊妹們，我問你，你立了多少次志？你作了多少的好呢？你在神面前的應許頂多、頂屬靈。你對神說，你要我作這樣可以，你要我作那樣也可以。你應許神明天要早起，應許神後天要熱心。你應許了這麼多，到底你作成了多少呢？
甚麼叫「我巳經與基督同釘十字架」呢？就是說，神對我已經絕望了，我對我也已經絕望了。神把「我和基督同釘十字架，」就是說神絕望了。我說，「我已經和基督同釘十字架，」就是說我絕望了。我承認我不能作好得神的喜悅。哦，神不能不叫我死。在肉體裡的人，甚麼盼望都沒有，只有死，只配死。
為甚麼神要我們接受十字架的估價呢？因為你若接受十字架的估價，你纔肯接受主作你的聖潔，你纔肯接受主作你的完全，你纔肯接受主作你的得勝。如果你還有一點的盼望，如果你還有一分的盼望，神就要把你帶到一點的盼望都沒有，神就要把你帶到一分的盼望都沒有。神把我們帶到這樣一個地步，就是要我們認識自己的不能，也承認說我不能。

不要試圖效法基督
聖經經節
加拉太二20：我已經與基督同釘十字架；現在活著的，不再是我，乃是基督在我裡面活著；並且我如今在肉身裡所活的生命，是我在神兒子的信裡，與祂聯結所活的，祂是愛我，為我捨了自己。
職事的話
這裡有福音傳給你：神不要你行善，神也不要你立志為善；神是要基督在你裡面活。神所注意的，不是行善不行善的問題，而是誰行善的問題。神不是說，有善就行；神乃是問，是誰行善？
所以，神的方法不是要我們效法基督，行得像基督一樣；也不是要我們跪在那裡求主加給我們力量，使我們能作出來像基督一樣。神的方法乃是要我們「現在活著的，不再是我，乃是基督在我裡面活著。」你看見這裡面的不同麼？不是效法基督的生活，也不是給你能力來活出這一個生活，而是根本不是你這一個人活。神不讓你這一個人在祂面前活著。不是你這一個人來到神面前，乃是基督活在你裡面來到神面前。不是我們效法基督，不是我們得著基督的能力，乃是基督在我們裡面活著。
這一個，就是信徒的生活。信徒的生活就是：不是我活，乃是基督活。本來是我活，不是基督活，但今天不是我活，乃是基督活。今天掉換一個來活。所以，如果有一個人，他不能說「不是我活，乃是基督活，」這一個人就還不知道甚麼叫作基督教，不知道甚麼叫作基督的生命，不知道甚麼叫作基督徒的生活。他還不過是在那裡盼望能作到「不是我活，乃是基督活」的地步。但是，保羅並非說他要作到這一個地步，保羅乃是告訴我們，這是他生活的方法。他的方法，是自己不活，讓基督來活。

基督是我們的生命（二）
聖經經節
歌羅西三4：基督是我們的生命，祂顯現的時候，你們也要與祂一同顯現在榮耀裡。
腓立比一21：因為在我，活著就是基督，死了就有益處。
職事的話
我們盼望初信的弟兄姊妹多多的禱告，求神給你光照，使你看見，基督能活在人裡面，人能用不著自己活。如果不是這樣，那你要維持一個見證，要維持一個基督徒的生活，要拒絕試探，要背十字架，要順服神的旨意，…你會覺得這一種生活實在是十分喫力的生活。有許多人要忍耐，不能忍耐；生氣，心裡不平安；要愛，心裡沒有能力；恨人，心裡難過。許多人作基督徒都作得累了，作得疲倦了。他們覺得作基督徒好像挑了重擔爬山，總爬不上去。
他們這樣的情形，顯明他們是作錯了基督徒。保羅是說，「現在活著的，不再是我，乃是基督在我裡面活著。」這是基督徒生活的祕訣。是主在你裡面作基督徒，不是你在你裡面作基督徒。如果是你在你裡面作基督徒，那就忍耐是苦的，愛也是苦的，謙卑也是苦的，背十字架也是苦的；如果是基督在你裡面活著，那就忍耐是快樂的，愛也是快樂的，謙卑也是快樂的，背十字架也是快樂的。
弟兄姊妹，當你作基督徒作得很累的時候，作得不可開交的時候，作得整個人不能脫身的時候，你如果看見，從今以後，你可以不必活，你會覺得這是一個大福音。每一個基督徒都可以免活這一種累的生活，這是一個大福音！你用不著花那麼多的力氣作基督徒，用不著那麼背重擔的作基督徒！

基督是我們的生命（一 ）
聖經經節
歌羅西三4：基督是我們的生命，祂顯現的時候，你們也要與祂一同顯現在榮耀裡。
腓立比一21：因為在我，活著就是基督，死了就有益處。
職事的話
許多基督徒對於主有一個錯誤的思想，就是以為主在世上曾為我們留下好的榜樣，要我們去效法。不錯，聖經是有命令，叫我們效法主，但是，聖經並不是叫我們憑自己去效法主。我們還必須先看見一個東西，纔能效法主。許多人一直想要效法主，結果一直失敗。他們以為主好像是一本好的字帖，我們要一筆一筆的去效法；他們不知道人是如何不行，人血氣的能力是絕對沒有辦法去效法主的。
主與我們基本的關係到底是甚麼，那就是「基督是我們的生命。」乃是當基督是我們的生命之後，我們纔能效法主；乃是當基督是我們的生命之後，我們纔能求祂加給我們力量。我們如果不明白甚麼叫作「基督是我們的生命，」我們就沒有辦法效法主，也沒有辦法求主加給我們力量。所以，「基督是我們的生命」這一個祕訣，要先明白，先看見，先得著，然後纔能效法基督，然後纔能求主加給我們能力。
歌羅西三章四節說，「基督是我們的生命。」腓立比一章二十一節說，「因我活著就是基督。」由此可見，得勝的路乃是在「基督是我們的生命，」得勝的路乃是在「我活著就是基督。」一個基督徒如果不知道甚麼叫作「基督是我們的生命，」如果不知道甚麼叫作「我活著就是基督，」那一個基督徒就不能經歷主在地上的生活，就沒有辦法跟從主，就沒有辦法靠著主得勝，就沒有辦法走前面的路。

成了包羅萬有的靈給我們應用（三）
聖經經節
歌羅西二23：這些事在私意敬拜，自表卑微和苦待己身上，確有智慧之名，但在克制肉體的放縱上，卻是毫無價值。
羅馬八13：因為你們若照肉體活著，必要死；但你們若靠著那靈治死身體的行為，必要活著。
職事的話
在我們日常的基督徒經歷中，我們需要認識實行禁慾與接受十字架的道路不同。接受十字架，當然不是叫我們受某種苦。我剛得救的頭幾年，很欣賞『效法基督』這本書。至終我知道，那本書中所提倡的，大部分乃是一種禁慾主義。
我們若要應用基督的十字架，就需要向那靈敞開我們自己，接觸那靈，並讓那靈在我們裡面自由的通行。當我們說到把十字架應用到我們的光景中時，我們需要有正確的領會。我們需要領悟，基督之死的功效乃是在包羅萬有的靈裡。基督十字架的實際乃是在那靈裡。因此，我們若向那靈敞開，並讓那靈在我們裡面自由的運行，祂就要在我們裡面流通。這內裡的流通，會帶給我們基督之死的功效。再者，這樣應用基督的死，會在復活中帶來基督自己。這樣，當我們與基督同死，我們就必在復活裡與祂同活。在此，基督就實際的成了我們的生命。我們已經在十字架上與基督同死，並且與基督一同復活。現今，在復活裡我們有基督作我們的生命。

我們若要應用基督的十字架，就需要向那靈敞開我們自己，接觸那靈，並讓那靈在我們裡面自由的通行。當我們說到把十字架應用到我們的光景中時，我們需要有正確的領會。我們需要領悟，基督之死的功效乃是在包羅萬有的靈裡。基督十字架的實際乃是在那靈裡。因此，我們若向那靈敞開，並讓那靈在我們裡面自由的運行，祂就要在我們裡面流通。這內裡的流通，會帶給我們基督之死的功效。再者，這樣應用基督的死，會在復活中帶來基督自己。這樣，當我們與基督同死，我們就必在復活裡與祂同活。在此，基督就實際的成了我們的生命。我們已經在十字架上與基督同死，並且與基督一同復活。現今，在復活裡我們有基督作我們的生命。

成了包羅萬有的靈給我們應用（二）
聖經經節
出埃及記三十23：你要取上好的香料，就是…沒藥…香肉桂…香菖蒲…
24：桂皮…，又取橄欖油一欣；
25：你要把這些香料，按調製香品者之法複合成香品，作成聖膏油。
職事的話
我們也要指出，包羅萬有的靈，乃是出埃及三十章所描述之複合膏油的實際。那靈乃是複合的膏油，不再僅僅包含橄欖油所表徵之神的靈，也包含香料所表徵基督之死和復活的各方面。橄欖油與香料調和，這油就成了複合物，就是一種膏油。橄欖油原來只是一種素質，一種元素；但牠與香料複合之後，就有其他的元素加進來。橄欖油調和四種香料而成的膏油，表徵包羅萬有的靈。
在已過的永遠裡，神的靈只有一種元素，就是神性的元素。但在基督成為肉體時，神就穿上人性。基督在地上三十三年半的人性生活中，有更多的元素加到神性的元素裡。不僅如此，藉著祂的釘死，祂包羅萬有、具有功效之死的素質也加給祂。祂的復活也是如此。當基督經過這幾個重要的步驟之後，神就經過過程，與人性調和。正如橄欖油與香料調在一起作為豫表，神的靈也照樣與基督之死的功效和甜美，以及祂復活的功效和大能調和。因此我們的神現今乃是經過過程的神，祂作為包羅萬有的靈，降在祂所揀選的人身上，並進入他們裡面，使他們成為召會。

成了包羅萬有的靈給我們應用（一）
聖經經節
約翰一1：太初有話，話與神同在，話就是神。
3：萬物是藉著祂成的…
14：話成了肉體，支搭帳幕在我們中間…
林前十五45：…末後的亞當【基督】成了賜生命的靈。
職事的話
在已過的永遠裡，神獨自存在。然後在時間裡，祂創造了萬有。在歷史的某一個時間，這位創造的神─萬有的創造主─成了一個人。這關鍵性的步驟叫作『成為肉體』。藉著成為肉體，神穿上了人連同一切受造之物，因為人是一切受造之物的元首。主耶穌，就是成為肉體的神，生活在地上三十三年半之久。當祂被釘在十字架上時，一切受造之物也與祂一同被釘在十字架上。這意思是說，不僅是基督上了十字架，乃是神所親自穿上的人，帶同整個受造之物，與祂一同上十字架。因此基督在十字架上的死，乃是包羅萬有的釘十字架。祂被釘死之後，又埋在墳墓裡。與基督同釘的人並受造之物，也一同被埋在墳墓裡。三天之後，基督在復活裡從死人中起來。藉著復活並在復活裡，祂成了賜生命的靈。不僅如此，當祂升到第三層天上時，祂被加冠成為萬有的元首和主。然後祂作包羅萬有的靈降在祂的身體上。
因著神完成了創造的工作，經過了成為肉體、人性生活、釘死、復活、升天和降下，我們可以說神是一位經過過程的神。祂經過了成為肉體、釘死與復活之後，就成了賜生命的靈。當祂升上第三層天時，祂登上寶座並被加冠，在那裡被立為萬有的元首和主，然後降在召會─祂的身體─上。在祂降下時，祂乃是包羅萬有的靈。這包羅萬有的靈臨到神所揀選的人，這些人就構成召會。

Ezekiel
4 And I looked, and there came a storm wind from the north, a great cloud and a fire flashing incessantly; and there was a brightness around it, and from the midst of it there was something like the sight of electrum, from the midst of the fire.
5 And from the midst of it there came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: They had the likeness of a man.
6 And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.
7 And their feet were straight feet, and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like the sight of burnished bronze.
8 And the hands of a man were under their wings on their four sides. And the four of them had their faces and their winds thus:
9 Their wings were joined one to another; they did not turn as they went; each went straight forward.
10 As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man; and the four of them had the face of a lion on the right side, and the four of them had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four of them had the face of an eagle.
11 And thus there faces were. And their wings were spread out upward; two wings of each were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
12 And each went straight forward; wherever the Spirit was to go, they went; they did not turn as they went.
13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches; the fire went to and fro among the living creatures, and the fire was bright; and out of the fire went forth lightning.
14 And the living creatures ran to and fro like the appearance of a lightning bolt.
The four living creatures signify the reality of the body of Christ, who are a corporate expression of Christ, living out the life of Christ in a corporate way and coordinating together as one corporate entity, the corporate Christ, for His expression, move, and administration. We are not individual Christians, but one corporate entity. Praise the Lord!

Write God's today's history!
The photo is from yesterday's home meeting.
"We need to be one with God in His history, moving and energizing in His loving overcomers; that is, we need to be one with God in life, in living, and in our entire doing today on this earth! We need to write God's today's history! We need to march on as one with the energizing God! In Him! With Him! By Him! And for Him! We need to be vital, living, and active!" ( Life study of Joshua)

Christ is all and in all
Thank you Lord for your words. You are the bread of life. You are the living water. Oh Lord, thank you for your life supply! The following message comforts me so much this morning, so I'd like to post it here.
基督在經歷中成為我們的一切
聖經經節
約翰六48：我【耶穌】就是生命的糧。
七37：…人若渴了，可以到我這裡來喝。
加拉太三27：你們凡浸入基督的，都已經穿上了基督。
馬太十一28：凡勞苦擔重擔的，可以到我這裡來，我必使你們得安息。
職事的話
在我們日常生活的環境中，許多事物都是基督的影兒。譬如我們喫的食物是影兒，不是真食物；真食物乃是基督。基督也是真飲料。我們所穿，遮蓋我們、美化我們、使我們保暖的衣服，也是基督的影兒。基督乃是真正遮蓋我們赤身、使我們溫暖、並美化我們的那位。基督也是我們的真住處、真安息。我們所住的房子，也是基督作我們居所的影兒。我們夜裡所享受的安息，也是基督作我們安息的影兒。我們在享受美味後的滿足也不是真滿足，乃是基督作我們滿足之實際的影兒。
我們日日、週週、月月、年年的生活中，所有正面的事物都必須是基督。祂不只在道理上成為我們的一切，更在我們的經歷中成為我們的一切。我能見證基督是我的完成、我的安息、我的新開始、我的享受、我的喜樂、我的食物、我的飲料、和我的滿足。雖然基督是宇宙性的廣闊，祂也是我們每天實際生活的每一細節。日復一日，祂是我們的氣息，也是我們的一切。

Overcome
Praise Him! Praise Him! Christ is victory!
The following message is from today's English Emanna.
No Longer I, but Christ
Bible Verses
Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
Words of Ministry
We know that the overcoming life is Christ, and we know that the overcoming life is Christ living in us. The question is how can we enter into the experience of this life. Christ wants to be our life and He can make us victorious. But how can Christ be our life? We need to look at Galatians 2:20.
There is a wonderful expression in this verse: “It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me.” We can say that it is no longer I but Christ. What does “no longer I ... but ... Christ” mean? These five words mean victory. The overcoming life is simply (1) “no longer I” and (2) “but...Christ.” This is the overcoming life. As long as it is “no longer I” and as long as it is “but...Christ,” there is victory. “No longer I” plus “but...Christ” is victory, and all problems are solved.

Christ Lives in Me
The following message is from today's English Emanna.
The Christian Life is Not One of Suppression
Bible Verses
Rom 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope in the power of the
Holy Spirit.
Col 3:4 When Christ our life is manifested, then you also will be manifested with Him in glory.
Words of Ministry
The result of an overcoming life is a life of expression rather than a life of suppression. The problem with our “victory” is that most of it comes by suppression. There was an old lady who always suppressed her temper when she was irritated. She would maintain her smile outwardly, but she would struggle to suppress herself inwardly. We may appear to have much patience, but actually everything is merely locked up inside. Brothers and sisters, I must say honestly that there is no victory when we suppress everything within us. This kind of suppressed life will only result in internal bleeding when it is allowed to continue for years. All the bitterness remains inside with a suppressed life. But thank and praise the Lord! Our victory is a life of expression, not a life of suppression.
Now the victory of Christ expresses itself. It is expressible. In the past, the more we suppressed, the better it was. Now the more we express, the better it is. Christ lives within us, and we live Him out before men. Victory is when we go and Christ moves in. Victory is something that is expressed. Christianity is different from all other religions. The difference does not lie merely in the cross but in the fact that we have a living Christ living within us. We can preach a doctrine of redemption and also a living Christ.

Cross is the way
The following message is from Today's Chinese emanna.
十字架是神對付難處的辦法
聖經經節
林前一18：因為十字架的話，對那正在滅亡的人為愚拙，對我們正在得救的人卻為神的大能。
歌羅西二14：塗抹了規條上所寫…的字據，並且把牠撤去，釘在十字架上。
15：既將執政的和掌權的脫下，神就把他們公然示眾，仗著十字架在凱旋中向他們誇勝。
職事的話
實在說來，基督的十字架乃是宇宙的中心。神創造天、地、和宇宙中的萬物之後，一位天使長背叛了，許多天使也跟隨他。這位天使長成了撒但，跟從他者則成了諸天界裡邪惡的執政者、有能者和掌權者。至終，神所造的人墮落了，成了有罪的。天使的背叛以及人的墮落，使神相當為難。神對付這個難處的辦法乃是十字架。首先神成了人，親自穿上了人性。然後基督，就是成為肉體的神，上了十字架並被釘死。在地上三十三年半的生活中，基督由馬槽走到了十字架。
當祂被釘十字架時，許許多多的事發生了。在十字架上，神審判了罪和有罪的舊人。藉著十字架，我們有罪的天性被了結了。在神審判罪和罪人的時候，祂也把律法釘在十字架上。當神把律法釘在十字架上時，邪惡的天使也在那裡，並且非常活躍。但按照十五節，神藉著十字架把他們脫下了。神藉著將執政的和掌權的脫下，就把他們公然示眾。祂公開的羞辱他們，並且在凱旋中向他們誇勝。這是何等大的一件事！
