「靈（污靈）就喊叫，使孩子大大的抽瘋，就出來了。」－馬可福音9:26
屬靈的產業從來不是藉著嬉遊和笑鬧取得的，這些總是在鐵血狼煙中廝殺出來的結果。
我們要得著屬靈的自由和釋放，都需要流血的代價。要使亞玻倫（編按：參啟示錄9:11，希臘文，意為毀壞者，指敵基督）夾著尾巴逃竄，絕不是說一聲「請」和「拜託」辦得到的；他跋扈的阻擋去路，若要向前邁進，我們的腳必須踩踏鮮血和眼淚。
我們必須牢記爭戰的意義，否則將在一切生活的重擔之外，遍嘗無知和誤解的苦味。
神重生我們，並不是帶我們進入無菌舒適的溫室，乃是引導我們進入空蕩四敞的野地，如此我們才能因著吸吮暴風雨的乳汁，增補能力。
「我們進入神的國，必須經歷許多患難。」（使徒行傳14:22）-喬懷德博士
"And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him" (Mark 9:26).Evil never surrenders its hold without a sore fight. We never pass into any spiritual inheritance through the delightful exercises of a picnic, but always through the grim contentions of the battle field. It is so in the secret realm of the soul. Every faculty which wins its spiritual freedom does so at the price of blood. Apollyon is not put to flight by a courteous request; he straddles across the full breadth of the way, and our progress has to be registered in blood and tears. This we must remember or we shall add to all the other burdens of life the gall of misinterpretation. We are not "born again" into soft and protected nurseries, but in the open country where we suck strength from the very terror of the tempest. "We must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God." Dr. J. H. Jowett
