eventually replace the kingdom of the world.

守望代祷
However, until then, God’ s Kingdom and the
world’ s kingdom are constantly at battle. By
preaching the Gospel, we are snatching people
from the power of Satan and bringing them
back to God. This is spiritual warfare!

如前文所说，神国最终会取代世上的国，但在这之
前，神国和世上的国是处于战争状态。我们传福音
是把人从魔鬼撒旦的权势下抢夺过来归向神。这是
一场属灵的争战。

Spiritual Warfare
In war zones, a country’s law is extremely difficult to
enforce. If country A is at war with country B, people at
the border area between the two countries are to
follow the law of which country? Whoever manages to
hold control of the fighting area, the law of that
country will apply in that area. It is a very volatile
situation. Today, country A has the upper hand, that
place will follow country A’s law. Tomorrow, country B
has the upper hand, then the law of country B prevails.

During war time, people staying along the border

suffer the most. Paul was very accustomed to this type
of suffering, and he said, “but I see in my members
another law waging war against the law of my mind
and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in
my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will
deliver me from this body of death?”
(Ro 7:23-24)

属灵争战
我们都知道在战争区域，国家的法律是最难推
行的。如果A国和B国打仗，两国争夺的边界地
区行那一国的法律，端的视乎那个国取得那地
方的实质控制权，而情况会随着战争的状态而
反复不定，今天A 国占上风，那地方便行A国的
法律，明天B 国占上风，便行B 的。
战争时期边界或前线的人民是最痛苦的。保罗
深深感受这种苦楚，他说：“但我觉得肢体中另
有个律和我心中的律交战，把我掳去，叫我附
从那肢体中犯罪的律。我真是苦啊！谁能救我
脱离这取死的身体呢？”(罗7:23-24)

Conclusion
As believers in Jesus, we are people of the Kingdom of Heaven and we should
comply with God’s law. Nonetheless, we are physically alive on earth and we
face attack from Satan and the world, till “I do not do the good I want, but the
evil I do not want is what I keep on doing.” (Ro 7:19) On the one hand, we
strive to live out God’s law and let Him be king in our lives; on the other hand,
we pray for guidance and strength to do the will of God, for we are so
powerless before Satan and the world. Thank be to God, the Bible has
promised us, “For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus
from the law of sin and death.” (Ro 8:2)

Do not forget that “we/our/us” are often mentioned in the Lord’s prayer. It is a
reminder that we not only pray for ourselves, but also for others. We need to
pray for our brothers and sisters and those in authority that they will not
depart from God’s will but dwell in it.

总结
因为归信主耶稣以后，我们便是天国的子民，理应行神的律，但我们却有活
在地上，受撒旦和世界的攻击，以至“我所愿意的善，我反不做；我所不愿意
的恶，我倒去做。”(罗7:19) 我们一方面要努力行出神国的律，让主在我们生
命作王。同时，我们当求主引导和赐力量给我们行在神的旨意中，因为我们
面撒旦和世界是可等无能为力。感谢神，圣经已经应许我们：“赐生命圣灵的
律，在基督耶稣里释放了我，使我脱离罪和死的律了。”(罗8:2)
我们也不要忘记主祷文中多次提到的“我们”，提醒我们不但要为到自己的祷
告，也要为别人祷告。因此，我们要为肢体和在位掌权的祷告，叫不他们不

要离开神的旨意，且要行在其中。
