V. PURIFYING THE HEART WITHIN

(Mark Chapter 7)

Vs. 1. “There came unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem." When the Lord Jesus was on earth, there was this class of Pharisees and scribes who loved to put on an outward show, but within was concealed the very opposite. But Jesus stressed rather the inside and not the outside. So, the Pharisees were his adversaries. Now, they came with the purpose of finding Jesus' fault, and to accuse Him. Perhaps there are some who have come today for the same purpose and not to listen to the Word!

Vs. 2. “And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashed hands, they found fault." As these stood outside the window to observe they remarked, “How is it they are eating with unwashen hands? For the Pharisees who stress the outside require washing of hands before meals. Now that Jesus hasn't performed this, they found an opportunity to criticise Him.

Vs. 3 and 4. We can see how these Pharisees are more hygiene-conscious than modern doctors. Making much of such tradition, they would never eat without washing hands, cups and saucers, after returning from the market. While they put such importance on the outward, there was no corresponding cleansing inside. Those who stress the outside neglect the inside, and vice versa those who stress the inside neglect the outside. For myself, I won't care what your outside is, for if I stress the outside I would neglect the inside. The Pharisees are hypocrites! Stressing the outside breeds conceit. When they say Jesus is unclean, they are judging Him with pride. There are many who boast of their outside and not a few of these are found in our churches. They require women to cover their heads, they demand immersion and unleavened bread for the Lord's Supper. But who do the Scriptures say these people are who stress the outside? Pharisees! Now these same people today would also say, “You are soulful, you are emotional." Raising themselves above others they become hypocrites. They deserve Jesus' rebuke.

Vs. 5 and 6. Jesus rebuked them severely for their outward show. I don't care whether you are immersed or not immersed, head-covered or uncovered. I care rather whether you have repented, and whether you are saved. These people ask Jesus why He doesn't keep to tradition? They make themselves greater than Jesus and anybody else. They can only find fault. They look down even on Jesus but dare not question Him openly. Though they know what miracles Jesus has done, they say these came by the Evil Spirit. Hypocrites! Jesus can never convert them. These people say, “Once saved, always saved. Being saved, you can afford to do anything you like." These people become hypocrites and hypocrites are deaf to Jesus' words. These who pride in their spirituality and condemn others! These are like a torchlight that looks shining bright on the casing but gives no light while its bulb is covered up. These who can steal sheep but have never led a soul into the new birth. These who say, “You cannot be saved except you be immersed!" What light comes from them? Hypocrites. These who require unleavened bread as a qualification for the Rapture! Jesus says, “This people draweth nigh with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me." A torchlight that gives no light. How pitiful.

The church is troubled by many a Pharisaical gossiper. Not only are they deaf, they are also dumb, though they like to gossip behind your back. But I speak to you in the open. What preachers are they who indulge in backbiting?

Jesus says, “Woe to these people. The Pharisees are good at repeating Scriptures too. They fast twice a week. They kneel by the roadside to pray. They have an outward show but in their hearts they are hypocrites. Pharisees are numbered among university students who are beyond the reach of the country folk. With their knowledge they have become Pharisees.

Vs. 7. Moreover, these Pharisees, being full of sins, are not born again. They preach without experiencing what they preach. They preach the doctrines of men and many are the followers of their style of preaching. Before this, I was also like them. I preached from notes gathered here and there, and what I spoke about I had never experienced, though men applauded my learning. While I prepared my sermons, I still had doubts about the Bible. I only repeated what I had learnt from teachers. The Pharisees had their genealogies, repeating after the words of men for their sermons. Were they not dumb? Not born again, how could they bring others to the new birth? Many would not believe in heaven and hell because they had not seen them. One year's stay in the United States could change one to discard God's Word for man's word.

Vs. 8. For laying aside the commandment of God they interpret Scripture according to man's ideas, making man's words the Word of God. Some say, “Heaven and hell are figures of speech which Jesus used to scare people. Substituting God's Word with man's words, they not only lay aside God's command but also make it void. They mess up God's Word with patches of human words. When a man is deaf, he also becomes dumb. Not able to preach, they can only speak what others have first spoken.

A sermon appeared in a Shanghai newspaper which was reputed to be the joint labour of a number of doctors. When I was in America I had heard the same sermon. How then did this sermon come to be the joint effort of these doctors? Well, I heard in Shanghai a certain leader say, "Christ is standing outside the Laodicean Church. So as Jesus discards the Church, we should leave the Church." This became the slogan of men of his clique. I felt perplexed.

I said, “if the Laodicean Church would open the door, then the Lord would enter in." Now, this latter portion of the Word was left out. But these are those who like to parrot others, and there are many parrots around these days. You see this in the way they copy one another in the interpretation of Revelation. And these doctrines originating from Shanghai are parrotted everywhere. Jesus says, “For laying aside the commandment of God ye hold the tradition of men ..." Yea, even to making it void. Dumbbells!

Vs. 10. Moreover, they twist the Scriptures. The Bible says, “Honour thy father and thy mother; and whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death." But they say, “If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, it is a gift ... he shall be free." Now there are the same Scripture-twisters today. When I learnt essay writing in my young days, my teacher taught me to gather ideas here and there. But when I presented to him my essay, he said “No good" after one glance. Because the ideas were not expressed in logical sequence. At that time I could not understand. There are many who take a verse of Scripture here, and another there, all out of context and inject into them their own ideas. This is Scripture-twisting.

Vs. 12 and 13. The first step, they lay aside. The second step, they make the Word of God of no effect by putting in their own ideas. Why could not they speak from experience? Because they are not born again. Dumb-bells. I had to deliver a sermon for examination during my seminary days. Now, in U.S. a sermon was worth $25. It wasn't easy preparing the sermon. So, I thought of a way out. I went to the Library. I copied here and there others' ideas to fit the topic assigned me. Rewriting these as my own sermon, I gave my teacher two days to correct for me. After this I preached it once to test out. Trembling I prepared a whole two weeks to earn the $25. What did I say? I merely stole words here and there. These were not the Word of God, but men's words. I laid aside God's Word by the words of men. Although I spoke on the new birth and holiness, I did not understand these truths myself. A dumbbell, I merely followed others because I had nothing to say. Not able directly to hear God's Word, I became deaf. I was a hypocrite.

Vs. 14-23. After admonishing the Pharisees, Jesus called all His disciples together. He said, “Hearken unto me, everyone of you, and understand. There is nothing from without a man that, entering him, can defile him; but the things which come out of him, these are they that defile the man." Not understanding this, His disciples asked Him in the house. Jesus said, “Do ye not perceive that whatever thing from outside entereth into the man, it cannot defile him. Because, it entereth into his stomach and goeth out into the draught. That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, etc.” These are dreadful things which proceed from within and not from without. A man who gives forth light also gives it from inside. But these who have no light are dumb, because inside them is the Devil. Beloved brothers and sisters, many there are who can't listen to God's Word because they have no light inside. They give out poison instead. The outside is of no great importance.

Once a pastor in Shantung was taken by bandits. Before killing him they gave him three choices: “First, eat horse dung. Second, he beheaded. Third, worship Buddha." He chose to eat horse dung because he could never worship Buddha, and to be beheaded was too great a tragedy. So he knelt down to eat in one breadth, as one eating ricenoodles. The outside cannot defile. What is dreadfully defiling is from inside. Beloved, fear not the ridicule and assault of men. Fear rather that within you is the Devil, and darkness, and dirt.

When no light shines from our inside, there must be trouble. These people might have been immersed, been communicants at the Lord's Table. Yet they have no light. The reason is the Devil is inside them. Yea, full of devils --- No.1, Adultery devil. Some say, We have not committed adultery. But know that to lust after a woman with your eyes is committing adultery in your heart. No wonder it is said the inside is more important. Cleansing should be from the inside.

No. 2, Thievery devil. Some might say, “We have never stolen." But if you indulge in improper business, you are stealing others' living. I have seen those who are immersed and those whose heads are covered who sell tobacco and wine. This is thievery, and there are many kinds, big and small. To pick up things someone has dropped is theft. Charging high interest is theft. “To steal sheep" is theft. And Jesus doubly condemns the Pharisees who swallow widows' houses and yet outwardly cover up themselves with long prayers.

No. 3, Murder devil. To hate and to scold is murder. Two persons were good friends. When one of them left the Church, they fell out so they would not greet one another on the streets like sworn enemies. To hate is a terrible sin. In Hangchow there was a university student. Having been born again he wrote his testimony. But soon he turned into a Pharisee, one who “spoke in the Name of the Lord." He forbade others to come to my meetings accusing me of being possessed by an evil spirit, that I was working on the emotions of others. But he dropped out in two weeks!

No. 4, Jealousy devil. Hypocrites, these cannot shine. These forbid women to speak but to keep silence at meetings. These are jealous at the goodness of others. They hurl such remarks, “These are evil spirits. Those are emotional." Hypocrites. The outside cannot defile, but the inside.

No. 5, Slandering devils. These condemn others as not spiritual but soulful, but they have no light. Hypocrites.

No. 6, Lying devils. These are inventors, and defamers of character, lying without the least evidence. They say, “It you are saved, then cover your head." Hypocrites.

No. 7, Conceited devils. I, I, I, they brag. “Only we can be raptured." Outside they look decent. Inside, full of devils. Elders, deacons, old-timer believers --- but giving forth no light. Both deaf and dumb. Let us cast out all these devils.

Vs. 34-30. Deaf and dumb these Pharisees, but here is a Canaanite woman who is not sick like them. Jesus left for the borders of Tyre and Sidon for a retreat. Far from being deaf, this woman made inquiry everywhere for Jesus and found Him at last. Far from being dumb, she called to Jesus, “My daughter is possessed with a demon. Lord, please heal her." Jesus did not heed her. Though the Lord disregarded her for being a Gentile, she did not get angry. Rather she continued pleading (she was not dumb) that Jesus might heal her daughter. Jesus said, “You are dogs. To give the children's bread to feed dogs is not right." This woman said, “Lord, no doubt I am less than a dog. I am a puppy, Lord. Dogs cannot eat the children's bread, but surely the crumbs thrown down!" Jesus said, “Go home. The devil is cast out!" This woman was not the least roused to anger. So, she found healing. If we don't cast out the devils within us, we will be undone. Let us call on the Lord to cast out the demons within us that light might shine from our faces.

A girl student in Nanchang was bitten by a mad dog and asked me to pray for her. According to the doctor, she would die the next year. I replied, “The body is of little importance. Is there sin in your heart? Are you born again?" She said, “I don't know. All I care for is this dog-bite." A person with a sinful heart cannot shine forth with light. Rather, poison is emitted. Let us ask the Lord to heal us.

Vs. 31-37. After the demons are cast out, will there be light? Not yet. Why? Without the filling of the Holy Spirit the inside is a vacuum. So, we must ask for the Spirit's filling. Though born again you still cannot shine forth the light. Why? Not enough. There was a deaf and dumb man whom the Lord led out of the village. There the Lord put his finger into his ears. Why? Because his ears could not hear. Then the Lord spat and touched his tongue. What is spittle? The Word of the Lord. Jesus said, “Eat it" and he swallow it. The Word of the Lord entered from three directions: 1) through the ear-gate; 2) through the eye-gate; 3) through the mouth-gate. John 6:63 says, “The Lord's Word is spirit. The Lord's Word enters through the ear, the mouth and the eyes. Filled with the Holy Spirit, the devil is cast out. The deaf can praise the Lord. There is power in His Word. Such a person is now filled with the Holy Spirit. He needs no head-covering. He needs no immersion. But the Lord says, “Open!” Immediately, light comes. He can speak. The deaf can speak. He goes everywhere witnessing.

A person without any inside light is either empty or has a devil. Let us not over-stress the outside. Rather ask the Lord to cast out devils inside and be filled with the Spirit. Then we can go round witnessing.

  Before the Lord left the world, He told the disciples to wait for the descent of the Holy Spirit to receive power for witnessing. The Lord did not stress the outside, so He did not baptise but let His disciples do it. Neither did Paul baptise much. When we begin to stress the outside we become hypocrites. May the Holy Spirit fill you all that you be enabled to witness. When you are filled with the Spirit you can't help but witness.

In Nanking there was a four-year-old girl. She never heard the Gospel. Someone brought her to the meetings. The Spirit filled her and she could preach. She spoke at a Secondary School for girls. She sang, “Coming home!” and spoke on “the lost sheep come home.” She sang another verse of “Coming home.” The meeting closed. Beloved, God used her as He uses me. This girl's surname is Lee. Her name is “Stone.”

There was another little girl of three. Before she died, she led many children to Christ. Ah! How old are you?

May the Holy Spirit fill us, cause us to shine and to witness.

五、洁净内心

（马可福音 7 章）

第 1 节：“有几个法利赛人和几个文士从耶路撒冷来，到耶稣那里去。” 当主耶稣在世时，有这样一群法利赛人和文士，他们喜欢装腔作势，但内心却截然相反。然而，耶稣更注重内在，而非外在。因此，法利赛人成了他的敌人。他们来到这里，是为了找出耶稣的过错，控告他。或许今天也有一些人来到这里，也是出于同样的目的，而不是为了聆听神的话语！

第 2 节：“他们看见耶稣的门徒用不洁净的手，就是没有洗过的手吃饭，就责备他们。” 这些人站在窗外观看，说道：“他们怎么能用没洗过的手吃饭呢？因为法利赛人注重外表，要求饭前洗手。现在耶稣没有这样做，他们就找到了机会批评他。”

第3-4节。我们可以看出，这些法利赛人比现代医生更注重卫生。他们非常重视这种传统，从市场回来后，吃饭前一定要洗手、洗杯碟。他们如此重视外表，却忽略了内在的洁净。注重外表的人忽略了内在，反之亦然。就我个人而言，我不会在意你的外表如何，因为如果我注重外表，就会忽略内在。法利赛人是伪君子！注重外表会滋生傲慢。当他们说耶稣不洁净时，他们是在骄傲地论断他。许多人都以自己的外表为傲，而我们教会中也有不少这样的人。他们要求妇女蒙头， 他们要求在圣餐礼中施行浸礼，并使用无酵饼。但圣经说，这些注重外在形式的人是谁呢？是法利赛人！如今，这些人也会说：“你太有感情了，你太情绪化了。”他们自视甚高，凌驾于他人之上，成了伪君子。他们理应受到耶稣的斥责。

第5-6节。耶稣严厉地斥责他们注重外在形式。我不在乎你们是否受浸，是否蒙头，我更在乎你们是否悔改，是否得救。这些人问耶稣为什么不遵守传统？他们自视甚高，凌驾于耶稣和任何人之上。他们只会挑剔。他们甚至轻视耶稣，却不敢公开质疑他。尽管他们知道耶稣所行的神迹，却说这些神迹是出于邪灵。伪君子！耶稣永远无法感化他们。这些人说：“一次得救，永远得救。” “得救之后，你就可以随心所欲了。”这些人成了伪君子，而伪君子对耶稣的话充耳不闻。他们自诩属灵，却论断他人！他们就像手电筒，外壳闪闪发光，但灯泡被遮住后却什么也照不出来。他们能偷羊，却从未带领过一个灵魂重生。他们说：“除非受洗，否则不能得救！”他们有什么光呢？他们是伪君子。他们竟然要求吃无酵饼才能被提！耶稣说：“这百姓用嘴唇尊敬我，心却远离我。” 就像手电筒一样，却什么也照不亮。多么可悲！

教会里有很多法利赛式的闲言碎语。他们不仅充耳不闻，而且哑口无言，却喜欢在背后议论别人。但我当面跟你们说，那些沉迷于此的传道人算什么呢？ 背后议论？

耶稣说：“这些人有祸了！法利赛人也擅长背诵经文，他们每周禁食两次，跪在路旁祷告，外表光鲜，内心却虚伪。他们如同大学里的学生，与乡下人格格不入，却因学识而成了法利赛人。

第7节：这些法利赛人满身罪恶，没有重生。他们传讲的，自己却没有经历。他们传讲人的道理，许多人也效法他们的讲道方式。从前我也像他们一样，讲道时随意收集笔记，所讲的我从未经历过，虽然人们称赞我的学识。我预备讲道的时候，心里却对圣经心存疑惑，只是重复老师所教给我的道理。法利赛人有他们的家谱，讲道时也照搬人的话。” 他们难道不愚昧吗？他们自己都没有重生，又怎能带领别人获得新生呢？许多人因为没有亲眼见过天堂和地狱，所以不相信它们的存在。在美国待上一年，就足以让人舍弃上帝的话语，转而相信人的话。

第8节。他们弃绝神的诫命，按照人的想法解释圣经，把人的话当作神的话语。有人说：“天堂和地狱是耶稣用来吓唬人的比喻。”他们用人的话代替神的话语，不仅弃绝了神的诫命，还使之失效。他们用人的话语拼凑出神的话语。人耳聋了，也哑了。他们自己不会讲道，只能重复别人说过的话。

上海一家报纸上刊登了一篇讲道，据说是几位医生共同撰写的。我在美国的时候也听过同样的讲道。那么，这篇讲道怎么会是这些医生共同完成的呢？嗯，我在上海听到一位领袖说：“基督站在老底嘉教会外面。” “既然耶稣弃绝了教会，我们也应该离开教会。”这成了他那一伙人的口号。我感到困惑。

我说：“如果老底嘉教会敞开大门，主就会进来。”然而，圣经的后半部分却被忽略了。但这些人喜欢鹦鹉学舌，而如今鹦鹉学舌的人比比皆是。看看他们是如何互相抄袭《启示录》的就知道了。这些源自上海的教义到处都在鹦鹉学舌。耶稣说：“你们离弃神的诫命，拘守人的传统……”是的，甚至废掉了它。真是愚蠢！

第10节。此外，他们还曲解圣经。圣经说：“当孝敬父母；” “凡咒骂父母的，必处死。”但他们说：“人若对父母说：‘这是供物，就是礼物……’，他就可以免除罪责。”如今，也有许多曲解圣经的人。我年轻时学习作文，老师教我把各种想法零散地拼凑起来。但当我把作文交给他时，他只看了一眼就说“不行”。因为我的想法没有逻辑清晰地表达出来。当时我不明白。许多人断章取义地引用经文，把自己的想法强加进去。这就是曲解圣经。

第12节和第13节。第一步，他们把经文抛诸脑后。第二步，他们把自己的想法强加进去，使神的话语失去了效力。为什么他们不能以自己的经历来说话呢？因为他们没有重生。就像哑巴一样。我在神学院的时候，为了考试要做一次讲道。现在，在美国…… 一篇讲道值25美元。准备讲道并不容易。于是，我想了个办法。我去了图书馆。我抄袭别人的想法，使之符合我被分配的主题。我把这些抄袭的内容改写成自己的讲道稿，给了老师两天时间修改。之后，我讲了一遍，试讲一下。我战战兢兢地准备了整整两周，就为了赚那25美元。我讲了什么呢？我只是零零散散地抄袭。这些不是神的话语，而是人的话语。我用人的话语弃置了神的话语。虽然我讲的是重生和圣洁，但我自己却不明白这些真理。我像个哑巴，只是随波逐流，因为我没有什么可说的。我无法直接聆听神的话语，我变得耳聋了。我是个伪君子。

14-23节。耶稣训诫了法利赛人之后，把所有的门徒都召集到一起。他说：“你们每个人都要听我的话，要明白。” 凡从外面进入人里面的，都不能污秽人；惟有从人里面出来的，才能污秽人。”门徒不明白这话，就在屋里问他。耶稣说：“你们难道不明白吗？凡从外面进入人里面的，都不能污秽人；因为是进入人的肚子，又排泄到肠道。惟有从人里面出来的，才能污秽人。因为从里面，就是从人的心里，发出恶念等等。”这些可怕的事情是从里面出来的，而不是从外面出来的。能发出光的人，也是从里面发出光。但那些没有光的人是哑巴，因为他们里面有魔鬼。亲爱的弟兄姐妹们，许多人听不到神的话语，因为他们里面没有光。他们反而散播毒害。外在的东西并不重要。

从前山东有一位牧师被土匪掳走。在杀他之前，土匪给了他三个选择：“第一，吃马粪；第二，砍头；第三，拜佛。”他选择了吃马粪，因为他永远无法拜佛，而砍头对他来说又太过悲惨。于是他跪下，一口气吃下马粪，就像吃米粉一样。外在的污秽无法玷污，真正可怕的污秽来自内心。亲爱的，不要害怕世人的嘲笑和攻击，而要害怕你内心深处的魔鬼、黑暗和污秽。

当我们内心没有光芒时，必定会有麻烦。这些人或许受过洗礼，领过圣餐，但他们心中没有光。原因在于魔鬼在他们里面。是的，他们里面充满了魔鬼——第一，奸淫的魔鬼。有人会说：“我们没有犯奸淫。” 但要知道，用眼睛贪恋女人，就是在心里犯奸淫。难怪人们常说，内在比外在更重要。洁净应当从内心开始。

第二，偷窃的魔鬼。有些人可能会说：“我们从未偷过东西。”但如果你从事不正当的生意，你就是在偷窃别人的生计。我见过那些受洗礼、蒙头大礼的人，他们卖烟酒。这就是偷窃，而且偷窃的种类繁多，大小不一。捡起别人掉落的东西是偷窃。收取高利贷是偷窃。“偷羊”也是偷窃。耶稣加倍谴责那些吞噬寡妇家产，却用冗长祷告掩盖自己罪行的法利赛人。

第三，杀人的魔鬼。憎恨和辱骂就是杀人。两个人原本是好朋友。当其中一人离开教会后，他们反目成仇，甚至在街上都不愿见面，如同仇敌一般。憎恨是极其严重的罪。 在杭州，有个大学生。他重生后写了见证。但不久，他就变成了一个法利赛人，一个“奉主名说话”的人。他禁止别人来参加我的聚会，指责我被邪灵附身，说我是在利用别人的情绪。但两周后，他就退出了！

第四类：嫉妒的魔鬼。伪君子，他们无法发光。他们禁止妇女在聚会上发言，必须保持沉默。他们嫉妒别人的良善。他们散布这样的言论：“这些人是邪灵。那些人是情绪化的。” 伪君子。外在不能玷污人，内在才能玷污人。

第五类：诽谤的魔鬼。他们谴责别人不是属灵的，而是属魂的，但他们自己没有光。伪君子。

第六类：说谎的魔鬼。他们是捏造事实、诽谤他人的人，毫无证据地说谎。他们说：“如果你得救了，就蒙住你的头。” 伪君子。

第七，自负的魔鬼。他们自夸：“只有我们才能被提。”他们外表体面，内心却被魔鬼缠身。长老、执事、老信徒——却不发出任何光芒。他们既聋又哑。让我们赶出这些魔鬼。

34-30节。这些法利赛人又聋又哑，但这里有一位迦南妇人，她不像他们那样生病。耶稣前往推罗和西顿的边界隐居。这位妇人非但没有聋，反而四处打听耶稣，最终找到了他。她非但没有哑，反而呼求耶稣说：“我的女儿被鬼附着了。主啊，求你医治她。”耶稣没有理会她。虽然主因为她是外邦人而忽略了她，但她并没有生气。相反，她继续恳求（她并不哑），求耶稣医治她的女儿。 耶稣说：“你们是狗。把孩子的饼给狗吃是不好的。”这位妇人说：“主啊，我连狗都不如。我连小狗都不如，主啊。狗不能吃孩子的饼，但肯定可以吃掉落的碎屑！”耶稣说：“回家去吧。魔鬼已经被赶走了！”这位妇人丝毫没有生气。于是，她得到了医治。如果我们不赶走我们里面的魔鬼，我们就会堕落。让我们呼求主，赶走我们里面的魔鬼，好让我们的脸上发出光芒。

南昌一位女学生被疯狗咬伤，请我为她祷告。医生说她明年就会死。我回答说：“身体的状况并不重要。你心里有罪吗？你重生了吗？”她说：“我不知道。我只在乎这狗咬伤。”一个心中有罪的人无法发出光芒。相反，他散发出

的是毒气。 让我们祈求主医治我们。

31-37节。鬼被赶出去之后，会有光吗？还没有。为什么？因为没有圣灵的充满，内心就如同真空。所以，我们必须祈求圣灵的充满。即使重生了，你仍然无法发出光芒。为什么？因为还不够。有一个又聋又哑的人，主领他出了村子。在那里，主用手指探入他的耳朵。为什么？因为他的耳朵听不见。然后，主吐唾沫抹在他的舌头上。唾沫是什么？是主的话语。耶稣说：“吃吧”，他就吞了下去。主的话语从三个方向进入：1）通过耳朵；2）通过眼睛；3）通过口。 约翰福音6:63说：“主的道就是灵，主的道藉着耳、口、眼进入人里面。被圣灵充满的人，魔鬼就被赶出去。聋子也能赞美主，因为祂的话语大有能力。这样的人如今已被圣灵充满，无需蒙头，也无需受浸，主说：‘开！’” 光明立刻降临。他能说话了。聋子也能说话了。他到处传福音。

一个人若没有内在的光明，要么是空虚的，要么是被魔鬼附身了。我们不要过分注重外在。相反，要祈求主赶出我们里面的魔鬼，并被圣灵充满。这样我们才能四处传福音。

主离开世界之前，祂告诉门徒要等候圣灵降临，才能得着传福音的能力。主并不注重外在，所以祂自己不施洗，而是让门徒施洗。保罗也不常施洗。当我们开始注重外在时，我们就成了伪君子。愿圣灵充满你们，使你们有能力去传福音。当你们被圣灵充满时，你们就自然而然地要传福音。

在南京，有一个四岁的小女孩。她从未听过福音。有人带她去参加聚会。圣灵充满她，她就能讲道了。她在女子中学讲道。她唱着歌：“回家！” 她谈到“迷失的羊回家”。她唱了《回家》的另一段歌词。聚会结束了。亲爱的，神使用她，就像祂使用我一样。这个女孩姓李，她的名字是“斯通”。

还有一位三岁的小女孩。在她去世之前，她带领许多孩子归向基督。啊！你几岁了？

愿圣灵充满我们，使我们发光，并作见证。

救主，救主，

请听我卑微的呼求；

当你呼唤他人时，

请不要忽略我。
