願那靈火復興我

永生神的靈
Spirit of Living God

求永生真神的靈,今來復興我,
求永生真神的靈,今來復興我,
碎我,熔我,陶我,用我。
求永生真神的靈,今來復興我。


楊伯倫弟兄有感於基督徒常被世界引誘而失落了最初的信望愛,他作了一首「願那靈火復興我」來喚醒眾人。 許多培靈奮興會選唱此歌,其歌詞如下:

    願那復興我的靈火,重新再來一次復興我,
    起初的信心何處失落,我願悔改重新再得著。
    在明媚的春光裏,在幸福的生活中,
    我們陶醉,我們歡樂,早把主恩典忘記。

    願那復興我的靈火,重新再來一次復興我,
    起初的希望何處失落,我願悔改重新再得著。
    在穩妥的事業裏,在迷人的笑聲中,
    我們遊戲,我們沉迷,早把主恩典忘記。

    願那復興我的靈火,重新再來一次復興我,
    起初的愛心何處失落,我願悔改重新再得著。
    在艱苦的歲月裏,在百般的試煉中,
    我們禱告,我們警醒,毋把主恩典忘記。

    願那復興我的靈火,重新再來一次復興我,
    起初的信望愛何處失落,我願悔改現在就得著。



也許神要我們離去一個弟兄姊妹眾多的聚會,一個最能給我們生氣的山頂,一些有幫助的義人交通,而回到平庸的以馬忤斯去,或者到世俗的歌羅西去,或者竟到遙遠的馬其頓去,我們應當大著膽深信:神無論將我們放在甚麼地方,祂早已命定那地方的勝利,會給我們獲得。

  1. When we are weak, astray and falling far behind on heavenly journey, we normally think we are very good and satisfied. We have lots of asset and wealth on earth. We make lots of effort to build up our wealth of empire in the world. We pretend to go along with the road of Kingdom of Heaven, but, in truth of Spirit, we are following the world direction rather than godly direction. The problem is when we are so entrapped ourselves in the worldly matters, we do not notice it but instead, we are quite satisfied with what we have and enjoy so much in worldly life.

    Are we cold or hot in God? If we are hot in God, the Spirit is firing in us and burning in our mind and heart in God.

    God reminds us the consequence of being satisfied in the world with its wealth and asset. We pursue our life in wrong way and direction. Therefore, God would take necessary disciplinary action to guide us back to Godly track. God asks all those in loss, “Please return, turn back and revive with fire of Holy Spirit.”

    We hope and pray we all have clear eye to see ourselves being poor, blind, sad, unhappy and naked in front of the Almighty and righteous God.

    The Holy Spirit fires in us when we are going to get the gold in fire with white robe on the body.


    啟 示 錄 Revelation

    3:14 And to the angel of the church in Laodicea say: These things says the true and certain witness, the head of God's new order:
    3:15 I have knowledge of your works, that you are not cold or warm: it would be better if you were cold or warm.
    3:16 So because you are not one thing or the other, I will have no more to do with you.
    3:17 For you say, I have wealth, and have got together goods and land, and have need of nothing; and you are not conscious of your sad and unhappy condition, that you are poor and blind and without clothing.
    3:18 If you are wise you will get from me gold tested by fire, so that you may have true wealth; and white robes to put on, so that your shame may not be seen; and oil for your eyes, so that you may see.
    3:19 To all those who are dear to me, I give sharp words and punishment: then with all your heart have sorrow for your evil ways.
    3:20 See, I am waiting at the door and giving the sign; if my voice comes to any man's ears and he makes the door open, I will come in to him, and will take food with him and he with me.
    3:21 To him who overcomes I will give a place with me on my high seat, even as I overcame, and am seated with my Father on his high seat.
    3:22 He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.

  2. 同感一靈。

    正如「效法基督」第一卷第一章第一句引用
    「跟從我的,就不在黑暗裡走」,必要得著生命的光。(約8:12)

    又說人若保持起初的火熱經己不容易。

    所以要求眼药保持屬靈的觸覺,求火煉的金子使信心能經得起丰富的考驗,求白衣遮蓋靈裏的貧乏。
