「我已經得了贖價。」-約伯記33:24「耶和華你的神在你中間,是施行拯救的大能者」(西番雅書3:17)。
20年前左右,這處經文帶著醫治的真理,點亮我疲倦的身心;直到今日,這道真理亮光的門開啟得比從前更多,讓永活的基督,隨時能進入我得贖的身體,用祂的同在和能力充滿我,使我活力飽滿,使我全人成為「新天新地」。
「耶和華你的神」。既然耶和華是我的神,那麼這位全能之神裡的一切,豈不也照著我所能支取享用的,盡歸於我嗎?
哦!這位「大能的」神如今竟活在我的裡面!三一神-父、子、聖靈-如今竟都住在我的裡面!如同在空中的太陽,如同在心中的電廠;這位神活在我裡面,在我身體裡居衷,在我心思裡內住,並在我血脈中生生不息。
21年過去了,這不僅是我真實生活的經歷,並且還是日益加深、加廣的實際。我已經70歲了,感覺起來卻遠比30歲時精力更加豐沛。
現在神的能力加倍地與我同在;和我過往年輕的歲月比較起來,如今的我,反而我更能勝任各樣勞心勞力的工作。我肉身、心智、屬靈的生命力,都源源不絕地湧自這生命的泉源。
對我而言,冒著劇變的天候,晝夜趕到各地佈道傳教,就好像水車在滿漲的溪水中轉動,或像水流過水管般地輕省容易。-亨利 威爾森博士
"I have found an atonement" (Job 33:24, margin).Divine healing is just divine life. It is the headship of Christ over the body. It is the life of Christ in the frame. It is the union of our members with the very body of Christ and the inflowing life of Christ in our living members. It is as real as His risen and glorified body. It is as reasonable as the fact that He was raised from the dead and is a living Man with a true body and a rational soul today at God's right hand.
That living Christ belongs to us in all His attributes and powers. We are members of His body, His flesh and His bones, and if we can only believe and receive it, we may live upon the very life of the Son of God. Lord, help me to know "the Lord for the body and the body for the Lord.'
--A. B. Simpson
"The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty." (Zeph. 3:17). This was the text that first flashed the truth of Divine healing into my mind and worn-out body nearly a quarter century ago. It is still the door, wide open more than ever, through which the living Christ passes moment by moment into my redeemed body, filling, energizing, vitalizing it with the presence and power of His own personality, turning my whole being into a "new heaven and new earth." "The Lord, thy God." Thy God. My God. Then all that is in God Almighty is mine and in me just as far as I am able and willing to appropriate Him and all that belongs to Him. This God, "Mighty," ALL Mighty God, is our INSIDE God. He is, as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in the midst of me, just as really as the sun is in the center of the heavens, or like the great dynamo in the center of the power-house of my three-fold being. He is in the midst, at the center of my physical being. He is in the midst of my brain. He is in the midst of my nerve centers.
For twenty-one years it has been not only a living reality to me, but a reality growing deeper and richer, until now at the age of seventy years, I am in every sense a younger, fresher man than I was at thirty. At this present time I am in the strength of God, doing full twice as much work, mental and physical, as I have ever done in the best days of the past, and this observe, with less than half the effort then necessary. My life, physical, mental and spiritual, is like an artesian well--always full, overflowing. To speak, teach, travel by night and day in all weather and through all the sudden and violent changes of our variable climate, is no more effort to me than it is for the mill-wheel to turn when the stream is full or for the pipe to let the water run through. --Dr. Henry Wilson
