司布真每日靈修(夜) Evening by Evening 四月六日 經文: 我靠耶和華的名，必剿滅他們。（詩篇一一八：12） 我們的主耶穌藉祂的死，換取統管我們全人的權利。祂的死和復活完成了我們靈、魂和體的成聖。上帝賜給信徒的新生本質必須確保主耶穌基督的權利。因為你是上帝的兒子，你必須征服自我中尚未降服基督的部份。不要滿足，直至祂，這位以犧牲而作王，成為你心中統管一切的至高無上之主為止。罪在我們身上是完全沒有權力的。因此，我們要奉耶穌之名去打一場合法的勝仗，只為了將罪逐出。我的身體是基督的一部份。我絕不能忍受向黑暗之王作任何降服。基督已為我的罪受苦，以祂的寶血拯救了我。我是否應該讓我的記憶成為罪惡的倉庫或讓我的感情充滿邪惡？我是否屈服於自己的錯誤判斷，或使自己的意旨被罪之鎖鏈捆綁？不，我屬於基督，罪無權在我身上。基督徒啊，不要以為屬靈的敵人永不會被毀滅而喪膽。靠你自己的能力是無法戰勝它們的，但是藉著羔羊的血你能夠且會得勝。到全能者處求取力量，並謙卑地等候上帝！祂必成為你的拯救，你也必因祂的恩典高唱凱歌。 Evening, April 6 Scripture: "In the name of the Lord I will destroy them."(Psalm 118:12) Our Lord Jesus, by his death, did not purchase a right to a part of us only, but to the entire man. He contemplated in his passion the sanctification of us wholly, spirit, soul, and body; that in this triple kingdom he himself might reign supreme without a rival. It is the business of the newborn nature which God has given to the regenerate to assert the rights of the Lord Jesus Christ. My soul, so far as thou art a child of God, thou must conquer all the rest of thyself which yet remains unblest; thou must subdue all thy powers and passions to the silver sceptre of Jesus' gracious reign, and thou must never be satisfied till he who is King by purchase becomes also King by gracious coronation, and reigns in thee supreme. Seeing, then, that sin has no right to any part of us, we go about a good and lawful warfare when we seek, in the name of God, to drive it out. O my body, thou art a member of Christ: shall I tolerate thy subjection to the prince of darkness? O my soul, Christ has suffered for thy sins, and redeemed thee with his most precious blood: shall I suffer thy memory to become a storehouse of evil, or thy passions to be firebrands of iniquity? Shall I surrender my judgment to be perverted by error, or my will to be led in fetters of iniquity? No, my soul, thou art Christ's, and sin hath no right to thee. Be courageous concerning this, O Christian! be not dispirited, as though your spiritual enemies could never be destroyed. You are able to overcome them—not in your own strength—the weakest of them would be too much for you in that; but you can and shall overcome them through the blood of the Lamb. Do not ask, "How shall I dispossess them, for they are greater and mightier than I?" but go to the strong for strength, wait humbly upon God, and the mighty God of Jacob will surely come to the rescue, and you shall sing of victory through his grace. www.glorypress.com
