Prayer and a Revived Church, May 31
我们回天家-第153章
“祷告完了,聚会的地方震动,他们就都被圣灵充满,放胆讲论上帝的道”(徒4:31)。{HB172.1}[1]
我们回天家-第153章
And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.—Acts 4:31.{HB 172.1}[1]
我们回天家-第153章
我们一切需要中最重大而迫切的需要,就是要在我们中间复兴真实的敬虔。谋求这种复兴应是我们最重要的工作。要获得主的福气,必须付出真诚的努力。并非上帝不肯赐福给我们,而是我们没有准备好领受。地上的父母都愿意把好东西给他们的儿女,我们的天父更愿意把圣灵赐给寻求祂的人。但我们必须藉着认罪、谦卑、悔改和恳求来满足主应许赐福的条件。复兴必须以应允祷告为前提。人们在很缺乏上帝的圣灵时,无法赏识所传讲的道;但是当圣灵的能力感触他们的内心时,所讲的道就不会没有效果。那些参赴我们聚会的人,既受上帝之道的教导,又有祂圣灵的显现,再运用合理的判断力,就会获得一种宝贵的经验,并在回家后发挥一种健康的感化力。{HB172.2}[2]
我们回天家-第153章
A revival of true godliness among us is the greatest and most urgent of all our needs. To seek this should be our first work. There must be earnest effort to obtain the blessing of the Lord, not because God is not willing to bestow His blessing upon us, but because we are unprepared to receive it. Our Heavenly Father is more willing to give His Holy Spirit to them that ask Him, than are earthly parents to give good gifts to their children. But it is our work, by confession, humiliation, repentance, and earnest prayer, to fulfill the conditions upon which God has promised to grant us His blessing. A revival need be expected only in answer to prayer. While the people are so destitute of God’s Holy Spirit, they cannot appreciate the preaching of the word; but when the Spirit’s power touches their hearts, then the discourses given will not be without effect. Guided by the teachings of God’s word, with the manifestation of His Spirit, in the exercise of sound discretion, those who attend our meetings will gain a precious experience, and returning home, will be prepared to exert a healthful influence.{HB 172.2}[2]
我们回天家-第153章
年迈的旗手知道什么是在祷告中与上帝较力和享受上帝之灵的沛降。但是这些人正在退出活动的舞台;谁在上来接替他们呢?后来的这一世代如何呢?他们悔改归向上帝了吗?我们觉悟到天上圣所中正在进行的工作了呢,还是等着什么强迫的势力临到教会才睡醒呢?我们正在盼望着见到整个教会复兴吗?那个时候永远不会来到。{HB172.3}[3]
我们回天家-第153章
The old standard bearers knew what it was to wrestle with God in prayer, and to enjoy the outpouring of His Spirit. But these are passing off from the stage of action; and who are coming up to fill their places? How is it with the rising generation? Are they converted to God? Are we awake to the work that is going on in the heavenly sanctuary, or are we waiting for some compelling power to come upon the church before we shall arouse? Are we hoping to see the whole church revived? That time will never come.{HB 172.3}[3]
我们回天家-第153章
教会里有未悔改的人,和不愿在恳切得胜的祷告中团结起来的人。我们必须个别地开始工作。我们必须多祷告,少说话。罪孽增多,必须教导信徒不可满足于敬虔的外貌而没有敬虔的精神和能力。我们若是下定决心省察己心,抛弃我们的罪恶,改正我们邪恶的倾向,我们的心灵就不会自高自大偏向虚妄;我们就会不信任自己,而会常感到我们所能担当的是出于上帝。……{HB172.4}[4]
我们回天家-第153章
There are persons in the church who are not converted, and who will not unite in earnest, prevailing prayer. We must enter upon the work individually. We must pray more, and talk less. Iniquity abounds, and the people must be taught not to be satisfied with a form of godliness without the spirit and power. If we are intent upon searching our own hearts, putting away our sins, and correcting our evil tendencies, our souls will not be lifted up unto vanity; we shall be distrustful of ourselves, having an abiding sense that our sufficiency is of God. . . .{HB 172.4}[4]

那大骗子已预备好诡计,诱骗每一个不奋起经受考验,也不用不住的祷告和活泼的信心护卫自己的人。(《信息选粹》卷一121-123页){HB172.5}[5]
我们回天家-第153章
The great deceiver has prepared his wiles for every soul that is not braced for trial and guarded by constant prayer and living faith.—Selected Messages, book 1, 121-123.{HB 172.5}[5]
