1221 經歷還是啟示?

我們所領受的……乃是從 神來的靈,叫我們能知道 神開恩賜給我們的事。(林前二12

救贖本身是事實,而不是我對救恩的經歷;不過若不是用我能體會的語言傳遞出來,救恩對我就毫無意義。重生之後,神的靈就立即把我從自己和自己的經歷中領出來,使我與耶穌基督連合。若我仍留在自己的經歷中,那些經歷必然不是從救恩而來。那經歷若是由救恩產生的,最好的明證是我脫離自己,不再以自己的經歷作為事實的基礎,而只專注於帶來這些經歷的實體。我的經歷若不叫我對準源頭--主耶穌,就一文不值。

你若堵住聖靈,要為自己製造一些主觀的經歷,你會發覺他會爆溢而出,把你帶回歷史的基督面前。經歷若不植根於神,也不叫你對神產生信心,就不當培育。若然,不管你所見的異像是什麼,你的經歷與基督敵對的,主耶穌是你經歷中的主?還是你要經歷作他的主?有沒有經歷是比主更寶貴的?他要作你的主,你對那些不以他為主的經歷不應重視。你會來到一個地步,神叫你對自己的經歷不耐煩--不管我的經歷是什麼,我只求持定神。你若有很多機會談及自己的經歷,就得對自己無情一點。肯定自信的信心,不是信心;對神有把握的信心,才是唯一的信心。

祈禱噢,主啊,求你除去這思想上的枷鎖,為我帶來平安、純潔和能力。願今天你以溫柔、憐憫和恩典來充滿我。


December 21 Experience Or Revelation

“We have received . . . the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:12

Reality is Redemption, not my experience of Redemption; but Redemption has no meaning for me until it speaks the language of my conscious life. When I am born again, the Spirit of God takes me right out of myself and my experiences, and identifies me with Jesus Christ. If I am left with my experiences, my experiences have not been produced by Redemption. The proof that they are produced by Redemption is that I am led out of myself all the time, I no longer pay any attention to my experiences as the ground of Reality, but only to the Reality which produced the experiences. My experiences are not worth anything unless they keep me at the Source, Jesus Christ.

If you try to dam up the Holy Spirit in you to produce subjective experiences, you will find that He will burst all bounds and take you back again to the historic Christ. Never nourish an experience which has not God as its Source and faith in God as its result. If you do, your experience is anti-Christian, no matter what visions you may have had. Is Jesus Christ Lord of your experiences, or do you try to lord it over Him? Is any experience dearer to you than your Lord? He must be Lord over you, and you must not pay attention to any experience over which He is not Lord. There comes a time when God will make you impatient with your own experience – I do not care what I experience; I am sure of Him.

Be ruthless with yourself if you are given to talking about the experiences you have had. Faith that is sure of itself is not faith; faith that is sure of God is the only faith there is.
