Scripture Reading: Matt. 7:29; 21:24; Luke 5:24; Rom. 9:21-22; Heb. 13:17

壹　我们需要有关于权柄的定义—太七29：

I.　We need to have the definition of authority—Matt. 7:29:

一　权柄最好的定义是“下命令、作决定并要求顺从的权力或权利，通常源自职位权力或专长”。

A.　The best definition of authority is "the power or right to give orders, make decisions, and enforce obedience, often stemming from a position of power or expertise."

二　在圣经里，权柄是“行使权力的道德正当性，终极来自并起源于神”。

B.　In the Bible, authority is "the moral right to exercise power, which is ultimately derived from and originates with God."

贰　神是最高的权柄；祂有一切的权柄—罗九21～22：

II.　God is the supreme authority; He has all authority—Rom. 9:21-22:

一　神的权柄代表神自己；神的能力仅代表神的作为—太二一24，路五24。

A.　God's authority represents God Himself; God's power represents only God's works—Matt. 21:24; Luke 5:24.

二　神的权柄实际上就是神自己；权柄是出于神自己的所是—启二二1。

B.　God's authority is actually God Himself; authority issues out from God's own being—Rev. 22:1.

三　无论什么权柄—属灵的、地位的、行政的—都是出于神—林后十8，十三10，约十九10～11，创九6。

C.　All authority—spiritual, positional, and governmental—derives from God—2 Cor. 10:8; 13:10; John 19:10-11; Gen. 9:6.

四　我们摸到神的权柄，就是摸到神自己—赛六1～5：

D.　When we touch God's authority, we touch God Himself—Isa. 6:1-5:

1　碰见神权柄的，就是遇见了神—摩四12。

1.　Meeting God's authority is the same as meeting God—Amos 4:12.

2　得罪神的权柄，就是得罪神自己。

2.　Offending God's authority is the same as offending God Himself.

五　在我们与神的关系中，没有什么比碰着权柄更重要—徒九5，太十一25。

E.　In our relationship with God, nothing is more important than touching authority—Acts 9:5; Matt. 11:25.

六　认识权柄是里面的开启，不是外面的教导—徒二二6～16。

F.　Knowing authority is an inward revelation rather than an outward teaching—Acts 22:6-16.

七　只有神是人直接的权柄；其他一切的权柄都是间接的权柄—神设立的代表权柄—但四32、34～37：

G.　Only God is the direct authority to man; all other authorities are indirect authorities—delegated authorities, deputy authorities, appointed by God—Dan. 4:32, 34-37:

1　唯有我们碰着神的权柄，我们才能顺服神所设立的代表权柄—太二八18，来十三17，彼前五5。

1.　Only when we meet God's authority can we submit to the delegated authorities whom God appoints—Matt. 28:18; Heb. 13:17; 1 Pet. 5:5.

2　神不只要我们顺服祂自己，也要我们顺服祂一切的代表权柄—罗十三1～7，林后十8，十三10，来十三17。

2.　God requires that we submit not only to Him but to all the delegated authorities—Rom. 13:1-7; 2 Cor. 10:8; 13:10; Heb. 13:17.

3　一切不顺服神间接权柄的人，都是不服神直接的权柄。

3.　Those who do not submit to God's indirect authority cannot submit to God's direct authority.

4　神要我们顺服间接的权柄（即代表权柄），而得到属灵的供应。

4.　God wants us to submit to indirect authority—delegated authorities—so that we may receive spiritual supply.

八　我们总得碰着权柄，受神约束，也受代表权柄的引导—赛三七16，腓二12，来十三17。

H.　We all must meet authority, be restricted by God, and be led by His delegated authority—Isa. 37:16; Phil. 2:12; Heb. 13:17.

叁　宇宙中有两个大原则—神的权柄和撒但的背叛；神和撒但之间所争执的唯一问题，与权柄有关—徒二六18，西一13：

III.　There are two great principles in the universe—God's authority and Satan's rebellion; the unique controversy between God and Satan concerns authority—Acts 26:18; Col. 1:13:

一　背叛乃是否认神的权柄，也是拒绝神的管治：

A.　Rebellion is the denial of God's authority and the rejection of God's rule:

1　撒但原是神所造的天使长，但由于他的骄傲，他高举自己，干犯神的主宰、背叛神，就成了神的对头，并建立他自己的国—赛十四12～14，结二八2～19，太十二26。

1.　Satan was originally an archangel created by God, but due to his pride he up-lifted himself, violated God's sovereignty, rebelled against God, became God's adversary, and established his own kingdom—Isa. 14:12-14; Ezek. 28:2-19; Matt. 12:26.

2　当人犯罪时，就背叛神，否认神的权柄，并拒绝神的管治；在巴别那里，人集体背叛神，要从地上废除神的权柄—创三1～6，十一1～9。

2.　When man sinned, he rebelled against God, denied God's authority, and rejected God's rule; at Babel men rebelled collectively against God to abolish God's authority from the earth—Gen. 3:1-6; 11:1-9.

二　撒但虽然干犯神的权柄，人也干犯神的权柄，背叛神，神却不让这个背叛继续下去，祂要在地上建立祂的国—启十一15。

B.　Although Satan rebelled against God's authority and although man violates His authority by rebelling against Him, God will not let this rebellion continue; He will establish His kingdom on the earth—Rev. 11:15.

三　宇宙中争执的中心，乃是谁该得着权柄—四2～3：

C.　The center of dispute in the universe relates to who has authority—4:2-3:

1　我们要和撒但争执，肯定权柄是属于神的—徒十七24、30。

1.　We must contend with Satan by asserting that authority is with God—Acts 17:24, 30.

2　我们要存心顺服神的权柄，维持神的权柄—太十一25。

2.　We need to set ourselves to submit to God's authority and uphold God's authority—Matt. 11:25.

四　背叛的罪比什么罪都厉害—撒上十五23。

D.　The sin of rebellion is more serious than any other kind of sin—1 Sam. 15:23.

肆　以权柄（代表权柄）代表神的人必须有以下的资格：

IV.　A person who represents God with authority (a deputy authority) must have the following qualifications:

A.　He must submit to authority—Matt. 8:8-9.

二　他必须认识他自己并没有权柄—二八18，林后十8，十三10。

六　他必须不主观，不照着自己的感觉行事—林后三5。

F.　He must not be subjective and must not act according to his own feeling—2 Cor. 3:5.

七　他必须对人亲切、有恩典—路六35，参罗五15～16，林前二12。

八　他必须是在复活里的人，活在基督复活的生命里—林后一9，四14。

H.　He must be a person in resurrection, living in the resurrection life of Christ—2 Cor. 1:9; 4:14.

九　他在神面前必须站在卑微的地位上—民十四5，十六3～4、22、45，太十一29，罗十二16，路十四7～11，彼前五5～6。

I.　He must take a lowly place before God—Num. 14:5; 16:3-4, 22, 45; Matt. 11:29; Rom. 12:16; Luke 14:7-11; 1 Pet. 5:5-6.

十　他必须是受得起顶撞的—出十六7，民十四2、5、9、27，太六14～15，林前四6～13。

J.　He must be able to bear offenses—Exo. 16:7; Num. 14:2, 5, 9, 27; Matt. 6:14-15; 1 Cor. 4:6-13.

十二　他必须是正确代表神的人—民二十2～13，林后五18、20，弗六20。

L.　He must be one who represents God properly—Num. 20:2-13; 2 Cor. 5:18, 20; Eph. 6:20.

伍　最重要、最属灵的祷告，乃是权柄的祷告—太十八18，可十一20～24：

V.　The most important prayer and the most spiritual prayer is the prayer of authority—Matt. 18:18; Mark 11:20-24:

一　权柄的祷告乃是用权柄来吩咐—赛四五11，可十一20～24：

A.　The prayer of authority is a command based on authority—Isa. 45:11; Mark 11:20-24:

1　权柄的祷告乃是吩咐的祷告—赛四五11。

1.　The prayer of authority is a commanding prayer—Isa. 45:11.

2　我们若真要祷告在神面前有分量、有价值，就必须能在神面前发出权柄的命令来—可十一23。

2.　If we wish to have weighty and valuable prayers before God, we need to be able to give out some authoritative commands before God—Mark 11:23.

二　权柄的祷告有两方面—捆绑和释放—太十八18：

B.　The prayer of authority has two aspects—binding and loosing—Matt. 18:18:

1　普通的祷告是求神捆绑，求神释放的祷告。

1.　Ordinary prayers are prayers that ask God to bind and loose.

2　权柄的祷告是我们用权柄来捆绑，来释放。

2.　Prayers with authority are those in which we bind and loose by exercising authority.

三　权柄的祷告就是马可十一章二十至二十四节的祷告—这个祷告不是对神说，乃是对“这座山”说—23节：

C.　Praying with authority is praying the prayer of Mark 11:20-24—a prayer that is directed not to God but to "this mountain"—v. 23:

1　权柄的祷告，不是求神作什么，乃是用神的权柄，把神的权柄拿来对付难处，对付那该除去的事—23节。

1.　A prayer with authority does not ask God to do something; rather, it exercises God's authority and applies this authority to deal with problems and things that ought to be removed—v. 23.

2　权柄的祷告不是直接向神求，乃是直接用神的权柄来对付难处—出十四15～27。

2.　A prayer with authority is not asking God directly; rather, it is dealing with problems by directly applying God's authority—Exo. 14:15-27.

3　得胜者最要紧的工作，就是把宝座上的权柄带到地上来；我们若要作得胜者，就必须学会权柄的祷告，对山说话—启十一15，十二10。

3.　The most important work of the overcomers is to bring the authority of the throne to earth; if we want to be an overcomer, we must learn to pray with authority and speak to the mountain—Rev. 11:15; 12:10.

四　召会用权柄祷告，就管理阴府—太十六18：

D.　When the church prays with authority, it rules over Hades—Matt. 16:18:

1　召会有权柄能管理一切属乎撒但的。

1.　The church has the authority to rule over every satanic thing.

2　召会该用祷告来治服邪灵在各方面的活动，并该借着祷告来掌权—路十17～19，太十八18。

2.　The church should subdue all the activities of the evil spirits by means of prayer and should exercise dominion through prayer—Luke 10:17-19; Matt. 18:18.

五　我们若要有权柄的祷告，首先必须服在神的权柄之下；除非我们服神地位上的权柄，在日常生活上，并在一切实行的事上，都服神的权柄，我们就不能有权柄的祷告—赛四五11，彼前五6，启二二1。

E.　If we would pray the prayer of authority, we must first submit to God's authority ourselves; unless we submit to God's authority with respect to His position and submit to His authority in our daily living and in all practical matters, we cannot pray with authority—Isa. 45:11; 1 Pet. 5:6; Rev. 22:1.

六　权柄的祷告，乃是以天上为起点，以地上为终点的—歌四8，六10，弗一22～23，二6，六18：

F.　The prayer of authority has heaven as its starting point and earth as its destination—S. S. 4:8; 6:10; Eph. 1:22-23; 2:6; 6:18:

1　权柄的祷告，是从天上祷告到地上，乃是站在天上的地位，从天上祷告下来，祷告到地上—二6。

1.　A prayer with authority is prayed from heaven to earth; it begins from a heavenly position and goes downward from heaven to earth—2:6.

2　祷告下来，就是站在基督所给我们在诸天界里的地位上，在那里用权柄命令撒但，拒绝撒但一切的工作，而用权柄宣告说，神所已经命令的都该成功—太六9～10。

2.　To pray downward is to stand in the position that Christ has given us in the heavenlies, to command Satan with authority and reject all his works, and to proclaim with authority that all of God's commands should be accomplished—Matt. 6:9-10.

七　祷告的地位是升天的地位，祷告的权柄也是升天的权柄；所有在升天里的祷告，都是权柄的祷告—弗二6，一22～23：

G.　The position of prayer is ascension, and the authority of prayer is also ascension; all prayers in ascension are prayers of authority—Eph. 2:6; 1:22-23:

1　权柄的祷告就是能站在升天的地位上发出命令来—赛四五11。

1.　The prayer of authority is the prayer by one who is able to give out commands by standing in the position of ascension—Isa. 45:11.

2　我们若在升天的地位上，我们的祷告就等于神的行政，等于在那里执行祂的命令—启八3～5。

2.　If we are in the position of ascension, our prayer will be equal to God's administration; it will be the executing of His commands—Rev. 8:3-5.

八　有了升天的地位，有了升天的权柄，也能发出权柄的祷告来，一到这个时候，我们这个人就是在宝座上，和主一同掌权—弗二5～6，启三21，参结一26：

H.　When we come to the point where we have the heavenly position and the heavenly authority and are thus able to utter forth authoritative prayers, we are on the throne, reigning with the Lord—Eph. 2:5-6; Rev. 3:21; cf. Ezek. 1:26:

1　到了这个时候，我们的祷告不光是个权柄的祷告，也是个掌权的祷告；我们的祷告就是执掌神的行政，执行神的命令—罗五17、21，太十八18，启八3～5。

1.　At this time, our prayer is not only an authoritative prayer but also a reigning prayer, and our prayer becomes God's administration, the execution of God's rule—Rom. 5:17, 21; Matt. 18:18; Rev. 8:3-5.

2　我们肯去学的时候，到一个地步，就能发出这样的祷告，叫神永远的定旨得以成就—弗一10～11，三9～11。

2.　If we are willing to learn, we will arrive at a place where we can utter such prayers for the fulfillment of God's eternal purpose—Eph. 1:10-11; 3:9-11.
