靠主得勝

經文: ��「迦南人雖有鐵車，雖是強盛，你也能把他們趕出去。」（約書亞記十七︰18）�'b�Z�

當一個人面對仇敵，要去爭戰，上帝應許他必定獲勝，這是何等大的鼓勵！我們打的是肉體戰（治死老我），世界戰（拒絕世界來的罪惡誘惑），我們心裡準備好一定要打贏這場戰，而且也知道是靠著主名來打這場戰，只准勝利，不准失敗，因為我們相信靠著全能上帝的恩典，必能征服各樣的罪惡，無論它以怎樣的形式呈現。
生活中，我們不得不承認，我們舊有的惡習，狠狽為奸的酒肉朋友，以及揮之不去的心魔，常像鐵馬般的轄制著我們，叫我們不得自由，但我們必須克服他們；與他們相較，我們是相當的軟弱，但靠著主耶穌的名，我們必能征服他們。若我們仍做罪的奴僕，就不屬上帝的自由人；一個人若仍有一個鐵鍊在身，他仍算是俘虜，若一個人心中仍有罪的牽絆，就無法上天堂，因為經上說︰「信徒與罪無份，不能受它轄制。」來吧，弟兄姊妹們，砍斷任何與罪有牽連的瓜葛，治死每一個迦南地的仇敵。上帝若與我們同在，誰能抵擋得住呢﹖罪惡的權勢在上帝的光中，必站立不住。�


Divine Expulsion

Scripture: "Thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong" (Joshua 17:18).

It is a great encouragement to valor to be assured of victory, for then a man goes forth to war in confidence and ventures where else he had been afraid to go. Our warfare is with evil within us and around us, and we ought to be persuaded that we are able to get the victory and that we shall do so in the name of the LORD Jesus. We are not riding for a fall, but to win; and win we shall. The grace of God in its omnipotence is put forth for the overflow of evil in every form: hence the certainty of triumph.

Certain of our sins find chariots of iron in our constitution, our former habits, our associations, and our occupations. Nevertheless we must overcome them. They are very strong, and in reference to them we are very weak; yet in the name of God we must master them, and we will. If one sin has dominion of us we are not the LORD's free men. A man who is held by only one chain is still a captive. There is no going to heaven with one sin ruling within us, for of the saints it is said, "Sin shall not have dominion over you." Up, then, and slay every Canaanite, and break to shivers every chariot of iron! The LORD of hosts is with us, and who shall resist His sin-destroying power?
