秋按:許多人不懂聖靈,更不懂聖靈的經歷,甚至諱談聖靈。其實聖靈的經
歷是是很重要的。人信主得永生,你所得的永生,就是聖靈的內住。聖靈在
你裡面,又叫真理的聖靈。祂見證救主、啟示真理,光照你的行為、安慰你
的苦痛、指引你的方向。基督徒不懂聖靈,就是盲人瞎馬,很糟糕的。更高
一層,是聖靈的充滿,讓你滿有能力、喜樂;至於聖靈的澆灌,那是莫大的
福氣,不是任何人有機會能得到的。稱之為聖靈降在身上,其中有一個意義
,就是 神選召了你,要你作祂的僕人。有聖靈澆灌主僕,與沒有聖靈澆灌
的, 神使用的方式大大不同,這,許多人不知道,還叫人不要追求聖靈的
澆灌。
忽然,從天上有響聲下來,好像一陣大風吹過,充滿了他們所坐的屋子。—
使徒行傳 2 章 2 節
Suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty
wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. — Acts
2:2
無論在美國或世界各地,我們常經歷到一些無形力量所造成的巨大影響。例
如在 2011 年,美國許多城市都受到龍捲風的侵襲,鄰里和商業區都面目全非。
每逢颶風或颱風季節,我們都飽受驚嚇和威脅,因時速超過 160 公里的狂風,
能輕易摧毀我們所建設的一切。
這些都由一股看不見的力量所致。當然,從旗幟飄舞和塵土飛揚中,我們可
以看見風的效果,但我們無法看見風本身。風以一種神祕而無形的方式在運行。
從某個層面來說,聖靈也是這樣。在使徒行傳 2 章中,記載了信徒如何在
五旬節經歷聖靈充滿。「忽然,從天上有響聲下來,好像一陣大風吹過,充滿了
他們所坐的屋子」(使徒行傳 2 章 2 節)。藉著可以感覺的那陣大風,不能眼
見的聖靈借此向初代基督徒顯現,表露祂如何在他們生命中工作。今日祂仍繼續
在我們的生命中動工!如果你跟隨基督,就勇往直前吧!聖靈會在你心中結果子
(加拉太書 5 章 22-23 節),使信徒連結成為一個肢體(哥林多前書 12 章
13 節),並向你確保上帝的同在(約翰一書 3 章 24 節)。雖然我們無法看見
聖靈,但祂卻在我們生命中扮演大有能力的角色。WEC
我今靜候,一心一意,
預備得知我神美旨,
懇求聖靈開我的心,
光照引領。Scott
聖靈雖無形,但其工作卻大有能力。
The Holy Spirit works powerfully, though invisibly.
Mysterious Invisibility
July 12, 2012 — by Bill Crowder
Across the United States and around the world, we often experience
the dramatic effect of something no one can see. In 2011, for
instance, several US cities were devastated by tornadoes that blew
apart neighborhoods and business districts. And during each hurricane
season, we are shocked as winds of more than 100 miles an hour
threaten to destroy what we have built.
All of this is the result of an unseen force. Sure, we see the
wind 』 s effects (flags flapping, debris flying), but we cannot see
the wind itself. It works in mysterious invisibility.
In a sense, this is also true of the Holy Spirit. In Acts 2, when
believers experienced the filling of the Spirit on the Day of
Pentecost, 「 suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing
mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting 」
(Acts 2:2). That wind was a tangible demonstration to those early
Christians that the unseen Spirit was at work in their lives. And He
still works in our lives today! If you are a follower of Christ, be
encouraged. The Holy Spirit bears fruit in your life (Gal. 5:22-23),
forms believers into one body (1 Cor. 12:13), and assures you of God
』 s presence (1 John 3:24). The Holy Spirit is a powerful Person in
our lives — even though we can 』 t see Him.
Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready, my God, Thy will to see; Open my heart—illumine me,
Spirit divine. —Scott
