枝子與葡萄樹的生活

經文: 「你們若常在我�面，我的話也常在你們�面，凡你們所願意的，祈求就給你們成就。」(約翰福音十五：7)

為主而活，我們必須住在基督�；並且，我們住在祂�面，才能從這應許支取最大的福份。要住在主�面，我們就得以祂居首位，除去其他的愛慕或偶像，單單地戀慕住在祂�面，並渴慕與祂連結在一起。枝子不僅是靠近根莖而已，乃是不斷地從樹幹吸取養份、生命。從某方面說，所有的基督徒是在主�面，但這還有更深一層的含義，而這只有在我們真了解這含義後，方能從祂寶座得到浩大的能力。「凡你們所願的」，這話是對與上帝同行的以諾說的，也是對在主懷�的約翰說的，更是對那些與上帝緊緊契合的信徒說的。

我們的心要住在主愛�，我們的意志要根植在信心內，我們的希望要像水泥般凝結在上帝話語上，我們的全人要和上帝連在一起；否則，我們以為憑著自己熱心禱告，就能得能力，這是很危險的。「祈求就給你們成就」，這應許是給那些「不再是我，乃是耶穌活在我�面」的人。若你沒和耶穌聯合，你的能力就流失！若你想要禱告有能力，你就要讓主住在你�面，你也住在主�面。


Unbroken Fellowship Essential

Scripture: "If ye abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you"(John 15:7).

Of necessity we must be in Christ to live unto Him, and we must abide in Him to be able to claim the largesse of this promise from Him. To abide in Jesus is never to quit Him for another love or another object, but to remain in living, loving, conscious, willing union with Him. The branch is not only ever near the stem but ever receiving life and fruitfulness from it. All true believers abide in Christ in a sense; but there is a higher meaning, and this we must know before we can gain unlimited power at the throne. "Ask what ye will" is for Enochs who walk with God, for Johns who lie in the LORD's bosom, for those whose union with Christ leads to constant communion.
The heart must remain in love, the mind must be rooted in faith, the hope must be cemented to the Word, the whole man must be joined unto the LORD, or else it would be dangerous to trust us with power in prayer. The carte blanche can only be given to one whose very life is, "Not I, but Christ liveth in me." O you who break your fellowship, what power you lose! If you would be mighty in your pleadings, the LORD Himself must abide in you, and you in Him.
