使徒行傳 2 : 4

他們就都被聖靈充滿,按著聖靈所賜的口才說起別國的話來。

經文: 「他們就都被聖靈充滿。」(使徒行傳二:4)

被聖靈充滿是多麼大的一個福份,有這樣榮耀的經驗,也是令人何等渴望、羨慕的,而且它所帶出來的結果,也是我們如何高估都不為過。聖靈的同在與充滿,必帶來生命、平安、權能、純潔與安慰。有如神聖的膏油,祂膏抹信徒的頭,把信徒和祭司同列,並賜他權柄恩典,行使他的職責。
聖靈的充滿,宛如純淨的聖水,將我們的罪惡全然洗淨,脫離罪惡的轄制,使我們得以討上帝的喜稅。聖靈的充滿,先光照我們墮落的光景,再向我們啟示耶穌的聖潔,並引導我們走義路,使我們不再行在黑暗中。
聖靈的充滿,像祭壇的火焰,可將我們的全人,當作活祭獻上,一生為主所用。又像天上的晨露,滋潤我們貧乏乾渴的心靈;也像和平的白鴿,遨翔在信徒的頭上;也像安慰者,抹去我們心靈的創傷,撫平我們內心的皺紋。當我們呼叫阿爸父時,祂就翩然降臨,向我們見證我們是上帝所愛的兒女。
聖靈的充滿也像風,隨著祂的意思吹動,帶給萬物氣息,讓它們生生不息,更甦醒人們的靈,得以認識敬畏上帝,讓我們今天就來禱告,能感受到聖靈的同在,而且天天保有聖靈的充滿與伴隨。


Morning, June 19
Scripture: “And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost.”(Acts 2:4)

Rich were the blessings of this day if all of us were filled with the Holy Ghost. The consequences of this sacred filling of the soul it would be impossible to overestimate. Life, comfort, light, purity, power, peace; and many other precious blessings are inseparable from the Spirit's benign presence. As sacred oil, he anoints the head of the believer, sets him apart to the priesthood of saints, and gives him grace to execute his office aright. As the only truly purifying water he cleanses us from the power of sin and sanctifies us unto holiness, working in us to will and to do of the Lord's good pleasure. As the light, he manifested to us at first our lost estate, and now he reveals the Lord Jesus to us and in us, and guides us in the way of righteousness. Enlightened by his pure celestial ray, we are no more darkness but light in the Lord. As fire, he both purges us from dross, and sets our consecrated nature on a blaze. He is the sacrificial flame by which we are enabled to offer our whole souls as a living sacrifice unto God. As heavenly dew, he removes our barrenness and fertilizes our lives. O that he would drop from above upon us at this early hour! Such morning dew would be a sweet commencement for the day. As the dove, with wings of peaceful love he broods over his Church and over the souls of believers, and as a Comforter he dispels the cares and doubts which mar the peace of his beloved. He descends upon the chosen as upon the Lord in Jordan, and bears witness to their sonship by working in them a filial spirit by which they cry Abba, Father. As the wind, he brings the breath of life to men; blowing where he listeth he performs the quickening operations by which the spiritual creation is animated and sustained. Would to God, that we might feel his presence this day and every day.
