2026-02-22 Trust That Unlocks Authority 信靠带下权柄

At our Thursday Bible study, we learnt that Jesus’ promise of a place for us in His eternal Kingdom is not meant to make us passive, but to encourage us to follow Him and complete our heavenly calling, so we may receive the full reward He has promised. 在我们周四的查经中，我们学习到，耶稣应许在祂永恒国度里为我们预备地方，并不是要让我们变得被动，而是要激励我们跟随祂，完成属天的呼召，好叫我们得着祂所应许的完全赏赐。To learn more about this reward, you can read Revelation on your own. 若想更多了解这赏赐，你可以自己阅读启示录。Today, let’s look at Luke 10:1-3, 19-20, 今天我们来看路加福音10:1-3, 19-20：After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. 1这事以后，主又设立七十个人，差遣他们两个两个地在他前面，往自己所要到的各城、各地方去。2 He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. 2就对他们说：“要收的庄稼多，作工的人少。所以你们当求庄稼的主，打发工人出去收他的庄稼。3 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves…3你们去吧！我差你们出去，如同羊羔进入狼群……19, I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 19我已经给你们权柄可以践踏蛇和蝎子，又胜过仇敌一切的能力，断没有什么能害你们。20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” 20然而不要因鬼服了你们就欢喜，要因你们的名记录在天上欢喜。”

We’re sent with Kingdom Authority我们是带着神国度权柄被差遣的

The word “sent” here is apostellō, the root of “apostle.” 这里“差遣”这个词在希腊文是 apostellō，是“使徒”一词的词根。In the Roman world, it referred to sending someone with authority as a representative of a governor to carry out a mission on his behalf. 在罗马时代，它指带着权柄被派出去，作为统治者的代表，执行使命；To receive the messenger was to receive the one who sent them. 接待使者，就等于接待差遣他的那一位。Jesus was commissioning the seventy as His Kingdom representatives, sending them ahead to prepare the way for Him. 耶稣委任那七十个人成为祂神国度的代表，差派他们先行一步，为祂预备道路。As they went, the Kingdom’s authority went with them into a dark world, to heal the sick, cast out demons, save sinners, and declare God’s Kingdom over darkness. 他们出去的时候，神国度的权柄也随着他们进入黑暗的世界，医治病人，赶逐污鬼，拯救罪人，宣告神国度超越黑暗。Notice, these 70 people aren’t the Twelve apostles with a unique role. They were just ordinary believers, like us, yet Jesus sent them with authority, 请注意，这七十个人并不是拥有独特职分的十二使徒，他们只是普通的信徒，就像我们一样，但耶稣却差遣他们，并赐给他们权柄。In v.20, they rejoiced because even the evil spirits submitted to them. 在第20节，他们因连邪灵也服了他们而欢喜。

2 Cor 5:20, we’re therefore Christ’s ambassadors... 林后5:20说：“所以，我们作基督的使者……”In God’s Kingdom, we represent the King. We’ve been given the same authority and calling to do what Jesus did: heal the sick, cast out demons, save sinners, and declare God’s Kingdom over darkness. 在神国度里，我们代表这位君王。神同样赐我们权柄和呼召，去行耶稣所行的事：医治病人，赶逐污鬼，拯救罪人，在黑暗之上宣告神国度。Jesus said, “the harvest is plentiful, but workers are few ask the Lord of harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. 耶稣说：“要收的庄稼多，作工的人少。所以你们当求庄稼的主，打发工人出去收他的庄稼。” Here the word “send out” is the Greek ekballō, different from apostellō in verse 3, meaning to drive out with urgency. 这里“打发”这个词在希腊文是 ekballō，与第三节的 apostellō 不同，意思是带着迫切地催促、赶出去。God sees that many still live under darkness and deep brokenness, strained relationships, addiction, sickness, financial pressure, and hearts searching for hope. So He tells us to pray that He would urgently send workers into His field. 神看见仍有许多人活在黑暗和深深的破碎中——紧张的关系、上瘾、疾病、经济压力、内心寻找盼望——所以祂要我们祷告，求祂迫切地把工人差进祂的田地。That’s why some of you feel the urgency to serve in our English classes, the Lord has sent you. 这就是为什么你们当中有些人心里有迫切要在英语班服事——主已经差遣你们。We’re thankful for every faithful helper. 我们为每一位忠心的同工感谢神。Still, the harvest is plentiful. We need more people to pray and to go. 但庄稼仍然多，我们还需要更多人去祷告、去行动。If we only pray but never share the good news, how will people be saved? 若我们只祷告，却从不分享好消息，人怎能得救呢？The Kingdom needs people to pray, serve, and share the Good News. Will you be willing? 天国需要有人祷告、服事，传福音？你愿意吗？

verse 3 is interesting, Jesus didn’t say, “go, like tigers among wolves.” 第3节也很有意思，耶稣没有说：“去吧，像老虎进入狼群。”He said lambs. 祂说的是羊羔。Clearly, Kingdom advance isn’t through aggression by winning the argument, but through humility, dependence on God and purity like our Lord.显然，神国度的扩张不是靠攻击、赢得辩论，而是藉着谦卑、对神的依靠，以及像主一样的圣洁。Yet lambs among wolves also shows real conflict between two kingdoms. 然而，“羊羔进入狼群”也显明两个国度之间真实的争战。V.19 Jesus said, “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy.” 第19节，耶稣说：“我已经给你们权柄可以践踏蛇和蝎子，又胜过仇敌一切的能力。” We’re not powerless. We carry delegated authority that overcomes darkness. 我们并非毫无能力；我们带着从主而来的权柄，可以得胜黑暗。“To trample on snakes and scorpions” points to Genesis 3:15, the serpent is crushed through Christ’s death and resurrection. 践踏蛇和蝎子”也指向创世记3:15所应许的，藉着基督的死与复活，蛇已经被击败。

Surrender that releases authority 降服释放权柄

Jesus doesn’t only forgive us; He shares His authority with us so His Kingdom can be seen on earth again. 耶稣不仅饶恕我们，祂也把权柄分享给我们，使神国度再次在地上显明。Over 21 years in deliverance ministry, I’ve seen how powerful that authority is when people turn from lies, formed through wounds and conclusions based on feelings, to God’s truth. 在二十一年来的医治释放事工中，我亲眼看见，当人从因伤口而形成的谎言、从凭感觉下的结论转向神的真理时，那权柄是何等有能力。When wounds aren’t healed, they keep hurting: “I’m disrespected…I’m bullied…” 当伤口没有得医治，它就不断发声：“我被不尊重……我被欺负了……”But when they trust God, they begin to say, “It doesn’t matter what I feel, what matters is that I forgive. I obey God’s command to love my enemies. God sees, and He will bless me. I will experience resurrection power personally. I will rejoice those demons will submit to me.” 但当人信靠神，就开始宣告：“我的感觉不重要，重要的是我要饶恕。我顺服神爱仇敌的命令。神看见，祂必赐福我。我亲自经历复活的大能。我也要因鬼服了我而喜乐。”Then wounds become scars, and scars become testimonies of resurrection in us. 于是，伤口变成疤痕，疤痕成为在我们身上的复活见证。Jesus showed His scars to Thomas, proof that He had overcome the cross and death. 耶稣把祂的伤痕给多马看，证明祂已经得胜十字架和死亡。Now He gives us authority to overcome temptation, sin, and Satan. 如今祂也赐给我们权柄，使我们得胜试探、罪和撒但。But if we listen to lies and keep focusing on “I, me, mine,” we become self-focused. 但若我们听信谎言，专注于“我、我自己、我的”，就会变得以自我为中心；We panic, we try to control, and we lose authority over evil spirits. 我们会惧怕，想要掌控，甚至失去对邪灵的权柄。So when negative feelings come, we need to ask, “Am I trusting God or myself? Am I willing to pay the price of giving up temporary comfort because I want to walk in Kingdom authority?” 所以，当负面的情绪出现时，我们要问自己：“我是在信靠神，还是信靠自己？我是否愿意付上代价，放弃暂时的舒适，因为我要行走在神国度的权柄中？”It’s our choice. 这是我们的选择。When you allow His truth to rule in you and through you, His authority begins to flow through you. 当你让祂的真理在你里面掌权，也藉着你掌权，祂的权柄就开始流借着你流出来。Some believers ask, “Why don’t I have authority? Why am I still afraid of spirits…” 有些信徒问：“为什么我没有权柄？为什么我仍然怕鬼？”Authority flows from alignment. It grows as we come under Jesus’ rule. 权柄从与基督一致而来，是当我们顺服在耶稣的统治之下而成长。If we want to exercise Kingdom authority, we must pay a price: loving our enemies just as Jesus did, letting go of control, and doing what He says. 若我们要运用神国度的权柄，就必须付代价：像耶稣一样爱仇敌，放下掌控，遵行祂所说的话。Jesus commanded us, “Love your enemies” Agape love is the mark of God’s Kingdom. 耶稣吩咐我们：“要爱你们的仇敌。”（太5:44）神圣爱是神国度的标志。

In Acts 19, some people tried to cast out demons using Jesus’ name, 在使徒行传19章，有人尝试奉耶稣的名赶鬼。When they said, “in the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.” 他们说：“奉保罗所传的耶稣的名，吩咐你们出来。”The spirit answered, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?” 邪灵回答说：“耶稣我认识，保罗我也知道；你们却是谁呢？”Then they were attacked by the evil spirit, they fled wounded and bleeding. 随后，那被恶鬼附着的人攻击他们，他们受了伤，赤身逃跑。Why? Because they weren’t living under His authority. 为什么？因为他们并没有活在祂的权柄之下。Authority isn’t a formula; it flows from relationship and obedience. 权柄不是一个公式，它是从关系和顺服中流出来的。Over the years in deliverance ministry, I’ve seen similar things. 多年来在医治释放的事工中，我也见过类似的事。Once, while we were praying for a demon-possessed woman, a sister who was carrying unforgiveness also joined in prayer. 有一次，我们为一位被鬼附的姊妹祷告，一位心里带着不饶恕的姊妹也参与祷告。The demon challenged her, saying, “Who are you?” and she was scratched by the demon. 邪灵质问她：“你是谁？”她在过程中被抓伤。It reminds us that when our hearts hold onto unforgiveness or pride, we lose alignment. 这提醒我们，当我们的心里抓着不饶恕或骄傲时，我们就不再和耶稣一致。On Friday, I clearly heard the Lord say, “judging others comes from pride, pride is the root of all sin.” 周五，我清楚地听见主说：“论断别人出于骄傲，骄傲是一切罪的根。”But when we repent, forgive, and choose to walk in love, we come back under Jesus’ rule and protection, and His authority begins to flow through us again. 但当我们悔改，选择饶恕，并且行在神圣爱中，我们就重新回到耶稣的统治和遮盖之下，祂的权柄也再次藉着我们流出来。

Victory remains only a theory, and resurrection power just a doctrine, if fear and lies aren’t exposed and dealt with in our own hearts. 如果惧怕和谎言从未在我们心里被揭露和对付，得胜就只停留在理论，复活的大能也只是教义。It becomes real when, even in agony, we surrender our will and our need to control, aligning our attitudes and desires with the Father’s will, just as Jesus did, “Father, not my will, but Yours be done”. 当我们即使在痛苦中，也愿意降服自己的意志和掌控的需要，使我们的态度和心意与父神的旨意一致，正如基督所行的那样，“父啊，不要照我的意思，只要照你的旨意”，复活的大能才成为真实。Kingdom authority flows from alignment. 神国度的权柄从与主一致而来。Even Satan knows the truth, but he never apply it to his life. 撒旦也知道真理，却从不应用在自己的生活中。

So today, the question is not, “Why don’t I have authority?” but, “Where is Jesus inviting me to surrender?” 所以今天的问题不再是：“为什么我没有权柄？”而是：“耶稣正在邀请我在哪一方面降服？”Is there fear to lay down? 是否有惧怕需要放下？Pain to release? 是否有伤痛需要释放？Control to give back to Him? 是否有掌控需要交还给祂？As we submit ourselves to His truth, He aligns our lives with His Kingdom. 当我们降服于真理，祂就使我们的生命与国度一致。Will you let your wounds become scars, testimonies of His healing and victory, so that you may carry His Kingdom authority to heal the sick, cast out demons, and fulfil your heavenly calling in this life? 你愿意让伤口变成疤痕，成为祂医治和得胜的见证吗？好叫你医病赶鬼，成就今生的天国呼召？

“Lord, search my heart and reveal any pain I am holding onto, any hurt from words spoken over me, or conclusions formed from negative feelings that have allowed lies, rejection, or fear to block me from walking in Kingdom authority. “主啊，鉴察我的心，显明我是否仍然抓着某些伤痛，是否因别人对我说的话而受伤，是否因负面情绪下的结论，让谎言、被拒绝的感觉或惧怕阻挡我行走在神国度的权柄中。

I bring these wounds to Your cross. . 我把这些伤口带到你的十字架前。Forgive me for trusting my own thoughts out of fear, assumption, or anger rather than Your truth饶恕我曾因惧怕、假设或怒气而信靠自己的想法，而不是信靠你的真理。I receive Your forgiveness. 我领受你的饶恕。I choose to forgive myself and those who have offended me. 我选择饶恕自己，也饶恕那些冒犯我的人。I choose to love my enemies, just as You have loved me.我选择爱我的仇敌，正如你爱我一样。

I surrender myself to You. Holy Spirit, bring Your healing to my heart. Turn my wounds into scars, testimonies of Your healing and Your victory. 我将自己全然降服于你。圣灵啊，求你医治我的心。把我的伤口变成疤痕，成为你医治和得胜的见证。May Your Kingdom authority over darkness flow through my trust in You and through my life, for the glory of Your name. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”愿你神国度胜过黑暗的权柄，藉着我对你的信靠，藉着我的生命流露出来，为你名的荣耀。奉耶稣的名，阿们。”
