第十七章 辨別諸靈的恩賜

「又叫一人能辨別諸靈」（哥林多前書12:10）天然的辨別和屬靈的辨別有著很大的不同。談到天然的辨別，你會發現它會成為很多人的負擔，因為他們因此在別人身上看到很多的缺點。這是《路加福音》第6章中基督說的話的確實應用，「為什麼看見你弟兄眼中有刺，卻不想自己眼中有梁木呢？」如果你想要顯出天然的辨別，將這同樣的辨別集中在你自己身上至少一年，你就會看到自己裡面也有著很多的缺點，你就再也不想對別人的缺點斤斤計較了。在《以賽亞書》第六章，我們讀到這位先知以賽亞在神出現時，發現甚至自己的嘴唇也是不潔的，而且每件事情都是不潔的。然而讚美神，今天有著同樣的火炭為我們預備，就是火的洗禮，就是心的完全，心思的凈化，靈的更新。神的火要觸摸我們的舌頭，這是何等地重要。

《約翰一書》4章1節告訴我們：「親愛的弟兄啊，一切的靈，你們不可都信，總要試驗那些靈是出於神的不是。」接著又進一步說，「凡靈不認耶穌，就不是出於神，這是那敵基督者的靈。你們從前聽見他要來，現在已經在世上了。」一次又一次地我曾看到人在那惡者的權下，有時是在痙攣時候，我對那在鬼被附之人裡面的邪惡勢力或撒旦的能力說：「耶穌基督成了肉身來的嗎？」他直接的回答：「不是。」他們或者說「不是」，或者控制他們的舌頭不說話，完全拒絕宣稱主耶穌基督是道成肉身來的。既然如此，記住約翰的進一步的宣告：「在你們裡面的比在世界的更大。」記住你能奉主耶穌基督的名對付這些邪靈的勢力，命令他們出去。我們這些五旬節的人，必須知道惡者的詭計，也必須能把他從他的地位上驅逐出去。

我在英格蘭的唐卡斯特（Doncaster） 傳道時，一次講到信心的題目，有很多人得了釋放。在那裡有個人對他所看到的很感興趣，也深受感動。他自己雖然遭受膝關節僵硬的病痛，膝蓋上纏裹著許多碼的法蘭絨，回家以後卻對妻子說：「我已經把威格爾斯沃思的信息聽進去了，現在打算在這上面行出來，得著釋放，妻子，我要你作觀眾。」於是他抓住自己的膝蓋說：「出來，你這魔鬼，奉主耶穌的名。」接著他說：「我好了，妻子。」他解開那一碼又一碼的法蘭絨，發現他已經完全好了，再用不著繃帶了。第二天晚上他們去了常做禮拜的一個小小的原始循道會（Primitive Methodist Church，又稱循原會，是循道會的一個派別）教堂，那裡有許多年輕人，正處在困苦之中，傑克 （Jack）作了驚人的事，就是借著耶穌的名釋放了他的朋友們。他已經被賜予能力，看見那以肉體為繼承的許多疾病，不是別的而是仇敵的工作，但是他的信心已經升高，看見在耶穌的名里有一種能力，是仇敵所抵擋不住的。

有一天晚上我到了瑞典的古根伯格 （Gottenberg） ，我被邀請在那裡主持一個聚會。在聚會中間，有一個人摔倒了平躺在了門口，是邪靈把他摔倒，顯出他自己來，好擾亂整個的聚會。我衝到門口抓住這人，向他裡面的邪靈喊叫：「出來，你這魔鬼！奉耶穌的名我們驅逐你這邪靈。」我扶起他說，「用你的雙腳站起來，並且奉耶穌的名行走。」我不知道在聚會中，除了翻譯以外，別人是否明白我在說什麼，但邪靈知道我所說的是什麼。我雖然說的是英文，但連這些在瑞典的邪靈也出去了，在克里斯蒂娜尼亞 （Christiania，挪威首都奧斯陸的舊稱） 也發生過一件同樣的事。

魔鬼會竭力借著眼目和心思誘惑人。有一次一位年輕美麗的女人被帶到我那裡，她曾被某一位傳道人所誘惑，只是因為那位傳道人在求婚和婚姻的事上沒有讓她滿意，魔鬼就利用這機會使她變得瘋狂。他們就在這種狀態下從二百五十英里遠的地方將她帶過來。這人從前受過聖靈的洗，你會問：「在已經受了聖靈洗的人裡面，仇敵會有任何的地位嗎？」我們惟一的安全保障是與神同行一起向前，並且不斷地被聖靈充滿。你一定不會忘記底馬，他必定已經受了聖靈的洗，因為他像是保羅所器重的同工，然而仇敵卻使他到一個地步直到貪愛現今的世界離開了。當他們把這年輕的女人帶來到我這裡時，邪靈就立即被分辨出來，於是當時就奉耶穌的名趕了這東西出去，讓這女人在眾人面前恢復正常的心性，真是有著極大的喜樂。

有一種完全得釋放的生命，是神要我們擁有的。如果我發現自己的平安在哪一點上被擾亂了，我就知道這是仇敵正試著作工了。我是怎樣知道這一點呢？因為主已經應許，當你停留在祂裡面的時候，祂就會保守你的心思意念十分的平安。保羅告訴我們，將身體獻上當作活祭是聖潔的，是神所喜悅的，我們如此事奉乃是理所當然的，如此聖靈的呼吸將透過我們的身體，「不要效法這個世界，只要心意更新而變化，叫你們察驗何為神的善良、純全、可喜悅的旨意。」（羅馬書12:2）他進一步在《腓立比書》4章8節告訴我們：「弟兄們，我還有未盡的話：凡是真實的、可敬的、公義的、清潔的、可愛的、有美名的，若有什麼德行，若有什麼稱讚，這些事你們都要思念。」當我們思念那清潔的，就變成清潔的；當我們思念那聖潔的，就變成聖潔的；並且當思念我們的主耶穌基督，我們就會變得像祂一樣。就在我們注目在某事情上的時候，我們就變成目的物的形狀了。

要辨別諸靈我們必須與這聖潔的一位同住，祂就會賜下啟示並在各個方面揭去撒旦力量的假面具。在澳大利亞我到了一個地方，那裡有一些分裂和破碎的家庭。這些人受到撒旦邪惡力量地如此欺騙，以至於男人離開他們的妻子，妻子離開她們的丈夫，彼此進入所謂的屬靈的親密關係，那是魔鬼的事！願神在現今的日子裡將我們從這諸般的惡當中釋放出來，沒有一個伴侶要好過神已經賜給你的。我曾見過那麼多破碎的心，那麼多破碎的家庭，我們需要一個真正的啟示看出這引誘的邪靈來，他們借著眼目的情慾闖進來，毀壞生命，給神工作蒙羞。肉體總是隱藏在他的背後，那從來不是潔凈的，而是不聖潔的、不潔凈的、屬於撒旦的、邪惡的，地獄是它們的後盾。如果仇敵來在任何這一類的事上試探你，我懇求你立刻注目仰望主耶穌，祂也能從任何此類的撒旦權勢之下將你釋放出來，如果你要有信心，就必須和所有此類的事完全分開。

如果我們渴慕辨別諸靈的恩賜，聖靈就要賜下，好叫我們借著啟示得以察覺這要進來毀壞的邪靈，我們能伸出手來，得到聖靈的恩膏，將這些事啟示給我們。

有時你會發現有交鬼的人來到聚會上，你必須有能力對付這種情況。你會對付他們到如此地步，會讓他們在聚會中沒有任何的能力。如果你曾遇到通神學者或基督教科學派的信徒，你必須能夠辨別他們，處理他們。絕不要和他們來往談論，總要把他們清理出去。除非他們願意從他們所受的欺騙中被釋放出來，否則他們還是只和自己的同伴在一起好些。記住主耶穌的警告：「盜賊來，無非要偷竊、殺害、毀壞」。（約翰福音10:10）

在撒旦能帶來他的邪靈之前，必定要先有一個敞開的門，聽聽聖經所說的吧：「那惡者也無法害他。」（約翰一書5:18）

「耶和華要保護你，免受一切的災害。祂要保護你的性命。」（詩篇121:7）撒旦如何得到一個敞開的門呢？當聖徒停止追求聖潔、潔凈、公義和真理的時候；當他停止禱告，停止讀神的話，給肉體的喜好讓步的時候，接著撒旦就來了。因此疾病經常是不順服的後果，大衛說：「我未受苦以先走迷了路。」（詩篇119:67）尋求主，祂會讓你每一個思想，每一個動作成為聖潔，直到你的全人閃耀在聖潔的清潔中，直到你唯一的渴望就是為那創造你的主活在聖潔中。哦，這樣的聖潔！我們能成為潔凈嗎？我們能。每一個生來就有的罪必須去掉，神能潔凈每一個邪惡的念頭。我們能有對罪的恨惡和對公義的喜愛嗎？是的，神要在你裡面創造一個清潔的心。祂要從肉體中除去石心，並用清水灑在你身上，你就得以從所有你的污穢中洗凈。他什麼時候才這樣做呢？就是當你在為了這裡面的清潔尋求祂的時候。

Chapter 17

The Discerning of Spirits

"To another discerning of spirits" (1 Cor. 12:10). There is a vast difference between natural discernment and spiritual. When it comes to natural discernment you will find many people loaded with it, and they can see so many faults in others. To such the words of Christ in the sixth chapter of Luke surely apply, "Why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brothers eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?" If you want to manifest natural discernment, focus the same on yourself for at least twelve months and you will see so many faults in yourself that you will never want to fuss about the faults of another. In the sixth of Isaiah we read of the prophet being in the presence of God and he found that even his lips were unclean and everything was unclean. But praise God, there is the same live coal for us today, the baptism of fire, the perfecting of the heart, the purifying of the mind, the regeneration of the spirit. How important it is that the fire of God shall touch our tongues.

In 1 John 4:1 we are told, "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God." We are further told, "And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world." From time to time as I have seen a person under the power of evil, or having a fit, I have said to the power of evil, or Satanic force that is within the possessed person, "Did Jesus Christ come in the flesh?" and straightway they have answered, "No." They either say, "No," or hold their tongues, refusing altogether to acknowledge that the Lord Jesus Christ came in the flesh. It is then, remembering that further statement of Johns, "Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world," that you can in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ deal with the evil powers and command them to come out. We as Pentecostal people must know the tactics of the evil one and must be able to displace and dislodge him from his position.

I was preaching in Doncaster, England, at one time on the line of faith and a number of people were delivered. There was a man present who was greatly interested and moved by what he saw. He was suffering himself with a stiff knee and had yards and yards of flannel wound around it. After he got home he said to his wife, "I have taken in Wigglesworths message and now I am going to act on it and get deliverance. Wife, I want you to be the audience." He took hold of his knee and said, "Come out, you devil, in the name of Jesus." Then he said, "It is all right, wife." He took the yards and yards of flannel off and found he was all right without the bandage. The next night he went to the little Primitive Methodist Church where he worshiped. There were a lot of young people who were in bad plight there and Jack had a tremendous business delivering his friends through the name of Jesus. He had been given to see that a great many ills to which flesh is heir are nothing else but the operation of the enemy, but his faith had risen and he saw that in the name of Jesus there was a power that was more than a match for the enemy.

I arrived one night at Gottenberg in Sweden and was asked to hold a meeting there. In the midst of the meeting a man fell full length in the doorway. The evil spirit drew him down, manifesting itself and disturbing the whole meeting. I rushed to the door and laid hold of this man and cried out to the evil spirit within him, "Come out, you devil! In the name of Jesus we cast you out as an evil spirit." I lifted him up and said, "Stand on your feet and walk in the name of Jesus." I dont know whether anybody in the meeting understood me except the interpreter, but the devils knew what I said. I talked in English but these devils in Sweden cleared out. A similar thing happened in Christiania.

The devil will endeavor to fascinate through the eyes and through the mind. At one time there was brought to me a beautiful young woman who had been fascinated with some preacher, and just because he had not given her satisfaction on the line of courtship and marriage, the devil took advantage and made her fanatical and mad. They brought her 250 miles in that condition. She had previously received the Baptism in the Spirit. You ask, "Is there any place for the enemy in one that has been baptized in the Holy Ghost?" Our only safety is in going on with God and in constantly being filled with the Holy Ghost. You must not forget Demas. He must have been baptized with the Holy Ghost for he appears to have been a right-hand worker with Paul, but the enemy got him to the place where he loved this present world and he dropped off. When they brought this young woman to me the evil power was immediately discerned and immediately I cast the thing out in the name of Jesus. It was a great joy to present her before all the people in her right mind again.

There is a life of perfect deliverance, and this is where God wants you to be. If I find my peace is disturbed on any line, I know it is the enemy who is trying to work. How do I know this? Because the Lord has promised to keep your mind in perfect peace when it is stayed on Him. Paul tells us to present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is our reasonable service; the Holy Spirit breathes through him, "And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God." He further tells us in Phil. 4, "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, if there be any praise, think on these things." As we think about that which is pure, we become pure. As we think about that which is holy, we become holy. And as we think about our Lord Jesus Christ, we become like Him. We are changed into the likeness of the object on which our gaze is fixed.

To discern spirits we must dwell with Him who is holy, and He will give the revelation and unveil the mask of Satanic power on all lines. In Australia I went to one place where there were disrupted and broken homes. The people were so deluded by the evil power of Satan that men had left their wives, and wives had left their husbands, and had gotten into spiritual affinity with one another. That is the devil ! May God deliver us from such evils in these days. There is no one better than the companion God has given you. I have seen so many broken hearts and so many homes that have been wrecked. We need a real revelation of these evil seducing spirits which come in and fascinate by the eye and destroy lives, and bring the work of God into disrepute. But there is always flesh behind it. It is never clean; it is unholy, impure, Satanic, devilish, and hell is behind it. If the enemy comes in to tempt you on any line like this, I beseech you to look instantly to the Lord Jesus. He can deliver you from any such Satanic power. You must be separated on all lines if you are going to have faith.

The Holy Ghost will give us this gift of discerning of spirits if we desire it so that we may perceive by revelation this evil power which comes in to destroy. We can reach out and get this unction of the Spirit that will reveal these things unto us.

You will have people come to meetings who are spiritists. You must be able to deal with spiritist conditions. You can so deal with them that they will not have any power in the meetings. If you ever have Theosophists or Christian Scientists, you must be able to discern them and settle them. Never play with them; always clear them out. They are better with their own company always, unless they are willing to be delivered from the delusion they are in. Remember the warning of the Lord Jesus, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy."

Before Satan can bring his evil spirits there has to be an open door. Hear what the Scriptures say

"That wicked one toucheth him not" (1 John 5:18).

"The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: He shall preserve thy soul" (Psa. 121:7). How does Satan get an opening? When the saint ceases to seek after holiness, purity, righteousness, truth; when he ceases to pray, stops reading the Word and gives way to carnal appetites, then it is that Satan comes. So often sickness comes as a result of disobedience. David said, "Before I was afflicted, I went astray." Seek the Lord and He will sanctify every thought, every act, till your whole being is ablaze with holy purity and your one desire will be for Him who has created you in holiness. Oh, this holiness! Can we be made pure? We can. Every inbred sin must go. God can cleanse away every evil thought. Can we have a hatred for sin and a love for righteousness? Yes, God will create within thee a pure heart. He will take away the stony heart out of the flesh. He will sprinkle thee with clean water and thou shalt be cleansed from all thy filthiness. When will He do it? When you seek Him for such inward purity.
