你的目标是去成为基督耶稣的仆人。你该怎么做？你要时常被信仰之言，和你所随从的纯正道理所喂养。你应该成为一个时常被喂养的弟兄或姊妹。
保罗·华许 – 不断与神相交
你要为我祷告，
因为我快要失去我的声音了。
你的目标是去成为基督耶稣的仆人。
你该怎么做？
你要时常被信仰之言和
你所随从的纯正道理所喂养。
你应该成为一个时常被喂养的男人（女人）。
你记得在耶稣走路时，
有一个女人上去摸他吗？（马可福音5:24-34）
圣经是怎么说的？
它说：耶稣觉得有能力从自己身上出去。
尽管耶稣是神道成肉身，但他凡事都靠圣灵的大能。
有能力从他身上出去。
让我告诉你这点。甚至医生都这么说：
一个小时充满激情的讲道等于身体上八个小时的苦工。
还有之后与人的辅导，
这会耗尽你身上一切的精力。
当你按照你的恩赐、靠圣灵的大能服侍时，这简直会要你的命。
所以，你必须时常被喂养。
你知道约翰福音十五章说，
“我是葡萄树，你们是枝子。”
我不知道你在丛林里花过多少时间，
但我相信你会明白这点。
当你走到丛林里时，你看不到
折断的枝子在丛林里到处乱跑，
然后一天一次回到树上，去连接起来，
获得更多的能量，然后又被折断。
这难道不是你们绝大多数人的生活方式吗？
你早上有15分钟与神在一起，
然后你要去靠圣灵的大能服侍？
为什么我们在一天中要有固定的时间与神相遇？
为了去培养一个观念：
整天都要与神同行、依靠神的能力。
你每天有固定的时间在神的话语和祷告中与神相遇很好，
但这种与神相遇有一个次要的和重要的目的，
好让你操练整天都与神同行，
好让你学到整天都与神相交，
好让你学到整天都得享安息，
并从神无尽的、无限的大能中得到力量。
要靠神的智慧行走，因为神的道丰富地存在你心里；
要靠神的大能行走，因为神的灵住在你心里。
我不想有一个小时的灵修时间与神相遇，
然后把神放在衣柜里，就走开了。
你早上与神相遇是为了让你一整天都能携手与神同行。
Paul Washer – Walk in Continual Communion with God
You have to pray for me, because I’m in the middle of losing my voice. Your goal is to be a servant of Christ Jesus. How are you supposed to be? You are to be constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound doctrine which you have been following. You are to be a man or a woman who is constantly nourished.
Do you remember when Jesus was walking and that woman came up and touched Him? [Mk 5:24-34] And what does the Scripture say? It says that Jesus recognized that virtue, or power, went out from Him. Because even though Jesus was God in the flesh, He did everything in the power of the Holy Spirit. And virtue went out from Him. Let me tell you something. Even doctors say this, that one hour of impassioned preaching equals eight hours of hard labor on the body. And counseling people afterwards, drain every ounce of strength out of you. When you minister, according to your gifts, in the power of the Holy Spirit, it will almost kill your body. And therefore you must be constantly nourished. You know John 15, “I am the vine, you are the branches.”
I don’t know how much time you’ve spent in the woods, but I’m sure you’re going to understand this. When you walk out in the woods, you don’t see branches broken off and running around, all over the forest. And then once a day they run back over to the tree, connect up, get some more energy, and then break off again. Is that not the way most of you live? You have you 15 minutes with God in the morning, and then you’re gonna go minister in the power of the Holy Spirit? Why do we meet with God in certain times during the day? It is to develop a mindset of walking in the presence and the power of God all day. It is good to have specific times, in which you meet with God in His Word and Prayer every day.
But this meeting with God has a secondary and important purpose. That you will develop a practicing of the presence of God all day; that you will learn to walk in communion with God all day; that you will learn to rest all day; and draw from the unlimited, infinite power of God. Walking in His wisdom, because His Word is dwelling ritually in your heart; and walking in His power because His Spirit indwells you. I don’t want you having an hour quiet time with God and then putting Him in the closet and walking away. You meet with God in the morning, so that you might join hands and walk with Him all day.
