8月9日 父所聽的禱告
父啊，我感謝你，因為你已經聽我。（約十一41）
當神的兒子禱告，他只有一個意念，就是父自己。神必然聽他兒子的禱告，因此神子若成形在我裡面，父也必聽我的禱告。我要留心讓神子在我肉身上彰顯。“你們的身子就是聖靈的殿”，也就是神兒子的“伯利恒”。神子在我身上有得著他自己的機會嗎？神兒子的生命是否直接純全地在我身上活出，正如在他的歷史生命中活出一樣？作為一個普通人，在我日常生活裡，神永恆之子向他父的禱告有沒有在我裡面出來？“到那日，你們要奉我的名禱告……”哪一日？就是聖靈進入我裡面，叫我真與主成為一體的那日。
主耶穌在你生命中是否感到心滿意足？還是你在我行我素？不要讓人的常理闖進來，把神的兒子擠到一角去。常理是神給人類的一份禮物，可是並不是神兒子的禮物。神兒子所賜的是超然之理，所以不要把常理放在寶座上。神的兒子體察父心，但常理從不。我們的智慧從來不會敬拜神，除非因著住在我們裡面的神子而得著改變。我們要留意身體對他完全順服，讓他可以隨時自由作工。我們在人生的一切事上，是否對主完全投靠，以致他的生命在我們肉身上彰顯無遺？
祈禱◆主啊，願我“像一顆樹栽在溪水旁，按時候結果子”，求你向我證明這句話的真實。
August 9 Prayer In The Father’s
Hearing
“Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard Me.” John
11:41
When the Son of God prays, He has only one consciousness, and that
consciousness is of His Father. God always hears the prayers of His Son, and if
the Son of God is formed in me the Father will always hear my prayers. I have
to see that the Son of God is manifested in my mortal flesh. “Your body is the
temple of the Holy Ghost,” i.e., the Bethlehem of the Son of God. Is the Son of
God getting His chance in me? Is the direct simplicity of the life of God’s Son
being worked out exactly as it was worked out in His historic life? When I come
in contact with the occurrences of life as an ordinary human being, is the
prayer of God’s Eternal Son to His Father being prayed in me? “In that day ye shall
ask in My name. . . .” What day? The day when the Holy Ghost has come to me and
made me effectually one with my Lord.
Is the Lord Jesus Christ being abundantly satisfied in your life or have
you got a spiritual strut on? Never let common sense obtrude and push the Son
of God on one side. Common sense is a gift which God gave to human nature; but
common sense is not the gift of His Son. Supernatural sense is the gift of His
Son; never enthrone common sense. The Son detects the Father; common sense
never yet detected the Father and never will. Our ordinary wits never worship
God unless they are transfigured by the indwelling Son of God. We have to see
that this mortal flesh is kept in perfect subjection to Him and that He works
through it moment by moment. Are we living in such human dependence upon Jesus
Christ that His life is being manifested moment by moment?
