(轉自《靈歷集光》-記主仆宋尚節博士 )
下面將主仆人一生走靈程,事奉主的經歷体會總結如下:
(一)教會必須建立在:
(1)悔改;
(2)重生;
(3)圣洁;
(4)得胜;
(5)傳福音等五個根基上,就永不動搖。
(二)愛主三級:
(1)明白主的愛;
(2)經歷主的愛;
(3)充滿主的愛。
(三)論徹底認罪悔改:
(1)各地教會中堅都應是徹底悔改認罪者。
(2)心愈圣洁者,講道愈有能力。
(3)已得主救恩者,如不常省察自己的罪,不免淪為假冒偽善者。
(4)如果神尚未給我非常的靈力,因我尚未洁淨。
(5)撒但使用最巧的計策,是令人不覺得自己有罪,并且視犯罪為無關緊要。
(6)只有真正徹底悔改的人,在信仰上才有鞏固的根基。
(7)我所以得到能力,是因為我常悔改,向神認罪。
(四)論信心:
(1)看神自己作工,這就是信心。
(2)信心是由認識神而來,越認識神越有信心。
(3)我們憂愁是因為我們沒有信心。
(4)信心就是精金,得著信心的人就是得著精金。
(5)你信到什么地步,主就為你成全到什么地步。
(6)屬靈的財寶即信心。
(7)信心越大,能力越大,恩賜也越大。
(五)論靈交
(1)蒙恩的基督徒有兩個翅膀:讀經与禱告,飛到主那里,得享安息。
(2)只有通過与神靈交才能治死肉体的情欲。
(3)不靠勢力,不靠口才,只要跪著与神同行,看神自己作工。
(4)禱告乃最快樂的事,切勿以為是重擔。
(5)撒但最怕圣徒同心合意地禱告。
(6)同心合意禱告乃奮興教會之首要。
(7)禱告是運用天兵完成神的工作。
(8)教會不禱告則死,將來見主面時,必定有許多人痛悔自己在世上禱告太少。
(9)若不儆醒禱告,你一定會墮落。
(10)禱告!禱告!今后的工作是禱告的工作。
(11)許多布道團注重工作而不重視禱告,因而失敗。
(六)論傳道人:
(1)教會能否复興取決于有什么樣的傳道人。
(2)許多傳道人不是缺乏口才,乃是缺乏經歷。
(3)傳道人的行為与生活,比傳道更要緊。
(4)傳道人不得圣靈的洗,不如不傳道。
(5)教會缺乏的是好牧人,如有真正的糧草,則羊自來。
(6)如傳道人有生命的能力,教會必然能自立自養。
(7)越肯負架,越謙卑,神越用你。
(七)奮興教會的秘訣:
(1)徹底認罪,除去教會及個人一切罪惡乃靈工之根本。
(2)同心合意懇切禱告。
(3)追求圣靈充滿,得到天上來的能力。
(八)論苦難:
(1)大患難必然帶來大复興。
(2)患難中得胜的信徒,乃真正的好种子。
(3)神所最重用的工人,都是在苦難中受造就的。
(4)主正是借著苦難,使我學習謙卑,以免失去能力。
(5)遵旨得榮易;遵旨負架難。
(6)生命越苦越甜,苦极甜极。
(7)受苦越多,所得益處也越多。
(8)神的恩典藏在苦難中。
(9)何時叫你受苦,何時不叫你受苦,受多少苦,神都細心地量,神看我們配受
苦就給我們。
(10)我們圣徒的命,真是橄欖命,越壓越出油。
(11)經歷苦難后,才會体恤別人,安慰別人。
(九)論見證:
(1)要帶領每位信徒都能到向別人作見證的地步。
(2)在講道中貫穿著個人的生命經歷及見證,最能打動人心,也最蒙神賜福。
(3)每次領會后,讓蒙恩者登台作見證,不僅使主的名大得榮耀,會眾愛主的心
也被挑旺起來。
(十)論家庭禮拜:
(1)有形大教堂有拆毀的時候,但信徒在自己家中的事奉与敬拜,無法消滅。
(2)作父母的最大快樂,就是把儿女帶到神面前。
(3)靠自己的方法責打儿女都要失敗,像哈拿把撒母耳交托給神,神會管教,比
誰管教都好。
(十一)論“己”:
(1)作死的活人,不作活的死人。
(2)最大的仇敵就是“己”。
(3)越認識自己坏透了,越覺得主之可愛。
(4)在教會中,“己”一死透,才能合一。
(5)奪主榮耀的就是“我”,虧欠神的榮耀,沒有愛心,体貼肉体的,都是這個
“我”在作怪。
(6)許多年來,以打魚為樂,最初得几條魚時,尚知將榮耀歸給神,魚打多了,
反自夸自己為老手;人的本相就是如此!
(十二)論圣靈充滿和恩賜:
(1)圣靈充滿是當前教會最大的需要。
(2)被圣靈充滿前,只能抬人進天國,步步維艱;被圣靈充滿后,有主上面賜下
的能力,神自運汽車送人進天國。
(3)圣靈充滿的目的:使你得能力為主作見證。最要緊的是追求圣洁与愛心。
(4)圣靈所賜下的恩賜,最大是愛,而最小的是方言。
(5)個人每被圣靈充滿的每個人,至少有兩种恩賜:一即是之一即九個恩賜中之
一种(林前12:8-10),正因為個人的恩賜不同,故需合而為一,沒有愛,
豈能合一?
(6)只有我受圣靈的洗(浸),才能得上面來的能力。
(十三)以基督的心為心:愛主所愛,樂主所樂,憂主所憂,恨主所恨,說主所說,
求主所求,作主所作,主心我心。
(十四)當你依靠主時:
(1)沒有什么危險可以叫你懼怕;
(2)沒有什么重擔你不能擔負;
(3)沒有什么環境你不能歌唱;
(4)沒有什么舊性你不能治死;
(5)沒有什么安排不是你的好處;
(6)沒有什么胜利不是出于恩典;
(7)沒有什么缺乏神不為你預備;
(8)沒有一樣東西使你与神的愛隔絕;
(9)沒有什么恩典不是出于寶血;

别人可以,你却不行!
OTHERS MAY: YOU CANNOT (别人可以,你却不行!)
-by G. D. Watson (1845-1924).
If God has called you to be really like Jesus He will draw you into a life of crucifixion and humility, and put upon you such demands of obedience, that you will not be able to follow other people, or measure yourself by other Christians, and in many ways He will seem to let other people do things which He will not let you do.
Other Christians and ministers who seem very religious and useful, may push themselves, pull wires, and work schemes to carry out their plans, but you cannot do it, and if you attempt it, you will meet with such failure and rebuke from the Lord as to make you sorely penitent.
Others may boast of themselves, of their work, of their successes, of their writings, but the Holy Spirit will not allow you to do any such thing, and if you begin it, He will lead you into some deep mortification that will make you despise yourself and all your good works.
Others may be allowed to succeed in making money, or may have a legacy left to them, but it is likely God will keep you poor, because He wants you to have something far better than gold, namely, a helpless dependence upon Him, that He may have the privilege of supplying your needs day by day out of an unseen treasury.
The Lord may let others be honored and put forward, and keep you hidden in obscurity, because He wants to produce some choice fragrant fruit for His coming glory, which can only be produced in the shade. He may let others be great, but keep you small. He may let others do a work for Him and get the credit for it, but He will make you work and toil on without knowing how much you are doing; and then to make your work still more precious He may let others get credit for the work which you have done, and thus make YOUR REWARD TEN TIMES GREATER WHEN JESUS COMES.
The Holy Spirit will put a strict watch over you, with a jealous love, and will rebuke you for little words and feelings or for wasting your time, which other Christians never feel distressed over. So make up your mind that God is an Infinitely Sovereign Being, and has a right to do as He pleases with His own. He may not explain to you a thousand things which puzzle your reason in His dealings with you, but if you absolutely sell yourself to be His love slave, He will wrap you up in Jealous Love, and bestow upon you many blessings which come only to those who are in the inner circle.
Settle it forever, then that you are to DEAL DIRECTLY WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, and that He is to have the privilege of tying your tongue, or chaining your hand, or closing your eyes, in ways that He does not seem to use with others. Now, when you are so possessed with the living God that you are, in your secret heart, pleased and delighted over this PECULIAR, PERSONAL, PRIVATE, JEALOUS GUARDIANSHIP AND MANAGEMENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT OVER YOUR LIFE, then you will have found the vestibule
of Heaven.
G.D.Watson (1845-1924) was a Wesleyan Methodist minister and evangelist based in Los Angeles. His evangelistic campaigns took him to England, the West Indies, New Zealand, Australia, Japan and Korea. He also wrote several books.
