慕安德烈每日靈修 God's Best Secrets by Andrew Murray

基督徒的力量

經文: 「我還有末了的話，你們要靠著主，倚賴祂的大能大力，作剛強的人。」（以弗所書六：10）

保羅在結束以弗所書時說：「弟兄們，我還有末了的話，你們要在主裡做剛強的人。」

基督徒需要力量，這我們都知道；而基督徒本身沒有力量，這也是真實的。那麼我們的力量從那兒獲得？答案是：「你們要倚靠主，倚賴祂的大能大力作剛強的人。」

保羅曾在前面提到這樣的能力（弗一：17~19），他禱告求上帝讓信徒們明白，那讓耶穌從死裡復活的浩大能力，可以做工運行在信徒的心中，也就是在你的心中，我的心中，以及所有的基督徒心中，這是叫人難以置信，也是很少有人經歷過。這就是為什麼保羅要做這樣的禱告，我們也要做這樣的禱告，上帝會藉著聖靈教導我們相信祂的大能。你要全心全意的祈求：天父，賜下那智慧的靈，好叫我在生活中經歷那樣浩大的能力。

在以弗所書三章16∼17節，保羅禱告，求祂照祂豐盛的榮耀，藉著聖靈堅固我們裡面的人，並且耶穌也要住在我們心裡面，如此「上帝能照著運行在我們心裡的大力，充充足足的成就一切，超過我們所求所想的。」（20節）

仔細地研讀這兩節經文，求上帝的靈光照你的心眼，相信這神聖浩大的能力，能運行在你心中，聖靈並且要向你啟示，教導你如何支取主的應許，好讓上帝的能力運行在你心中，供應你一切的需要。

讀到這裡，你是不是開始明白，時間是最迫切需要的？你要花時間與上帝親近交談，這樣你才可經歷到運行在你心裡的大能大力。


THE STRENGTH OF THE CHRISTIAN

Scripture: "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might."—EPH. vi. 10.

The Apostle has reached the end of his Epistle, and begins his last division with the words: "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord."
The Christian needs strength. This we all know. The Christian has no strength of his own. This is also true. Where may strength be obtained ? Notice the answer: "Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might."
Paul had spoken of this power in the earlier part of his Epistle (i. 17-19). He had prayed God to give them the Spirit that they might know the exceeding greatness of His power according to the working of His mighty power, which He wrought in Christ when He raised Him from the dead. This is the literal truth: the exceeding greatness of His power, which raised Christ from the dead, works in every believer. In me and in you, my reader. We hardly believe it, and still less do we experience it. That is why Paul prays, and we must pray with him, that God through His Spirit would teach us to believe in His almighty power. Pray with all your heart: Father, grant me the Spirit of wisdom, that I may experience this power in my life.
In chapter iii. 16, 17, Paul prays the Father to grant them, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ might dwell in their hearts. And then: "Now unto Him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly, above all we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto Him be glory."
Read over these two passages again, and pray for God's Spirit to enlighten your eyes. Believe in the divine power work-mg within you. Pray that the Holy Spirit may reveal it to you, and appropriate the promise that God will manifest His power in your heart, supplying all your needs.
Do you not begin to realize that time is needed, much time in intercourse with the Father and the Son, if you would experience the power of God within you?
