| 全心全意 | |
| 經文: 「你們若專心尋求我，就必尋見。」（耶利米書廿九：13） | |
| 我們常聽人家這麼說：成功的祕訣就是盡心竭力、全力以赴地去做一件事。在屬靈的事上也不例外，尤其懇求聖靈的充滿。 我要再次強調，聖靈所渴望的就是完全佔有我們的心，祂最大的滿足，就是能在我們身上顯出大能的作為。祂有絕對的權利完全佔有我們的心，為何？因為祂是全能的上帝。 你可知道，當你求聖靈時，就是求上帝掌管你全人，你真能了解這點嗎？還是說你的禱告有錯誤的動機？只求上帝成全你私心的願望，至於生活其他方面，仍然任憑己意行事。若是這樣，那就是個極大的錯誤，因為聖靈要的是全人的佔有。 或許你會說，這就是麻煩的地方，因為你心中並沒有強烈的慾望，要被聖靈完全充滿掌管。 然而上帝知道人的無助與無能，但祂命定聖靈要在人的心中動工，供應你一切需要——上帝所要求於我們的，祂也會在我們心中動工，給我們力量。我們這方面所要做的，就是要有一顆渴慕的心，願意接受聖靈做我們的導師、領航者。 上帝的兒女們，聖靈渴望完全佔有你。花時間等候在上帝面前，把你的心願告訴祂，完全地仰賴祂，立足於祂堅如磐石的應許之上，等待祂大能的膀臂為你施行拯救，在你心中做奇妙的善工。 | |

| WITH THE WHOLE HEART | |
| Scripture: "Ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart."—JER. xxix. 13. | |
| You have often heard it said that if one seeks to perform any great work, he must do it with his whole heart and with all his powers. In worldly affairs this is the secret of success and of victory. And above all in divine things it is indispensable, especially in praying for the Holy Spirit. I cannot too earnestly or too urgently repeat that the Holy Spirit desires to have full possession of you. He can be satisfied with nothing less if He is to show His full power in your life. He has the right. Why? Because He is the Almighty God. Have you ever realized when you pray for the Holy Spirit, that you are praying for the whole Godhead to take possession of you? Do you really understand this? Or have your prayers had a wrong motive? Were you expecting that God would do something in your heart, but for the rest you must be free to do your own will? That would be a great mistake. The Holy Spirit must have full possession. You say, that is just the trouble. You do not feel such a burn¬ing, urgent desire as you ought, and you do not see any chance of its becoming true in your life. God knows about this impotence of yours; He has ordained in His divine Providence that the Holy Spirit shall work within you all you need. What God commands and demands of us, He will Himself work within us. On our part there must be the earnest prayer to the Father each day, and an acceptance of the Holy Spirit as our Leader and Guide. Child of God, the Holy Spirit longs to possess you wholly. Take time to give Him your answer, and cast yourself in complete dependence and impotence on the word of His promise, and on His Almighty power at work within you. | |
