8月9日 父所听的祷告

父啊，我感谢你，因为你已经听我。（约十一41）

当神的儿子祷告，他只有一个意念，就是父自己。神必然听他儿子的祷告，因此神子若成形在我里面，父也必听我的祷告。我要留心让神子在我肉身上彰显。“你们的身子就是圣灵的殿”，也就是神儿子的“伯利恒”。神子在我身上有得着他自己的机会吗？神儿子的生命是否直接纯全地在我身上活出，正如在他的历史生命中活出一样？作为一个普通人，在我日常生活里，神永恒之子向他父的祷告有没有在我里面出来？“到那日，你们要奉我的名祷告……”哪一日？就是圣灵进入我里面，叫我真与主成为一体的那日。

主耶稣在你生命中是否感到心满意足？还是你在我行我素？不要让人的常理闯进来，把神的儿子挤到一角去。常理是神给人类的一份礼物，可是并不是神儿子的礼物。神儿子所赐的是超然之理，所以不要把常理放在宝座上。神的儿子体察父心，但常理从不。我们的智慧从来不会敬拜神，除非因着住在我们里面的神子而得着改变。我们要留意身体对他完全顺服，让他可以随时自由作工。我们在人生的一切事上，是否对主完全投靠，以致他的生命在我们肉身上彰显无遗？

祈祷◆主啊，愿我“像一颗树栽在溪水旁，按时候结果子”，求你向我证明这句话的真实。

August 9 Prayer In The Father's Hearing

“Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard Me.” John 11:41

When the Son of God prays, He has only one consciousness, and that consciousness is of His Father. God always hears the prayers of His Son, and if the Son of God is formed in me the Father will always hear my prayers. I have to see that the Son of God is manifested in my mortal flesh. “Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost,” i.e., the Bethlehem of the Son of God. Is the Son of God getting His chance in me? Is the direct simplicity of the life of God's Son being worked out exactly as it was worked out in His historic life? When I come in contact with the occurrences of life as an ordinary human being, is the prayer of God's Eternal Son to His Father being prayed in me? “In that day ye shall ask in My name. . . .” What day? The day when the Holy Ghost has come to me and made me effectually one with my Lord.

Is the Lord Jesus Christ being abundantly satisfied in your life or have you got a spiritual strut on? Never let common sense obtrude and push the Son of God on one side. Common sense is a gift which God gave to human nature; but common sense is not the gift of His Son. Supernatural sense is the gift of His Son; never enthrone common sense. The Son detects the Father; common sense never yet detected the Father and never will. Our ordinary wits never worship God unless they are transfigured by the indwelling Son of God. We have to see that this mortal flesh is kept in perfect subjection to Him and that He works through it moment by moment. Are we living in such human dependence upon Jesus Christ that His life is being manifested moment by moment?
