願 上帝賜福給各位！

R. A. Torrey's "The Power of the Holy Spirit" explains the crucial role of the Holy Spirit in the life and service of a believer. This summary, based on the provided text, focuses on the "fruit of the power to the believers" and lists all verses found in the text.

R.A. Torrey Torrey begins by establishing that "Power belongeth unto God," and the Holy Spirit is the one who imparts this divine power to individual believers. The Holy Spirit’s work is to take what belongs to God and make it ours. While all of God's power is the birthright of believers in Christ (citing I Corinthians 3:21: "All things are your's"), it is through the Holy Spirit's work that these become an actual and experiential possession. Understanding and claiming the Holy Spirit's work allows believers to obtain the fullness of power in Christian life and service that God has provided in Christ. Torrey laments that a large portion of the church knows and claims very little of what God has made possible for them, due to a lack of understanding of the Holy Spirit's potential and desire to work in them.

♦ 托雷首先確立「能力都屬乎神」，而聖靈是將這神聖能力賦予個別信徒的那一位。聖靈的工作是取屬於神的一切，使其成為我們的。雖然神的一切能力都是基督裡信徒與生俱來的權利(引用哥林多前書 1 Corinthians 3:21：「萬有全是你們的」)，但這些能力要成為實際且可經歷的擁有，乃是透過聖靈的工作。 理解並宣告認領聖靈的工作，能讓信徒在基督徒的生命和事奉中，獲得神在基督裡所提供的完全能力。托雷感嘆道，教會中有很大部分的人，對於神在基督裡為他們成就的可能性，所知和所支取的都非常少，這是因為他們對聖靈能為我們做什麼、以及祂渴望為我們做什麼，所知甚少的緣故。

The author emphasizes the Word of God as the instrument through which the Holy Spirit works, calling it "the sword of the Spirit" (Ephesians 6:17) and the "seed the Spirit sows and quickens" (Luke 8:11; I Peter 1:23). Effective Christian living and service depend on knowing the power of the Spirit through the Word, and using the Word in the power of the Spirit. Neglecting the Word while seeking to magnify the Spirit leads to fanaticism, while magnifying the Word but ignoring the Spirit results in dead orthodoxy. The true course is to recognize both the instrumental power of the Word and the personal power of the Holy Spirit acting through it.

♦ 作者強調神的話語是聖靈工作的工具，稱之為「聖靈的寶劍」(以弗所書 Ephesians 6:17)和「聖靈所撒並使其發芽生長的種子」(路加福音 Luke 8:11；彼得前書 1 Peter 1:23)。有效的基督徒生活和事奉，有賴於透過 神的話語認識聖靈的能力，並在聖靈的能力中運用神的話語。 若高舉聖靈卻忽略神的話語，會導致狂熱主義、毫無根據的熱情和野火；反之，若高舉神的話語卻忽略聖靈，則會導致死板的正統觀念，沒有生命和能力的真理。正確的途徑是同時承認聖靈藉以作工之神話語的工具性能力，以及聖靈的位格透過神話語行事之大能。

Torrey then proceeds to outline what the Holy Spirit has the power to do:

☘️ 接著，托雷概述了聖靈有能力做哪些事：

1. The Holy Spirit has power to reveal Jesus Christ and His glory to man. Torrey references I Corinthians 12:3: "Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, But by the Holy Ghost". Jesus Himself stated in John 15:26, "But when the comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of me". True knowledge of Christ comes only as the Spirit testifies of Him by illuminating the Word. Simply reading the Word is insufficient without the Spirit’s illumination for a real, living knowledge of Christ. If one desires for others to truly know Jesus and believe, one must seek the Holy Spirit's testimony for them, not relying on personal powers of exposition but on the Holy Spirit.

1. 聖靈有能力向人啟示耶穌基督是主和祂的榮耀。

☘️ 托雷引用哥林多前書 1 Corinthians 12:3：「所以我告訴你們：被神的靈感動的，沒有說「耶穌是可咒詛」的；若不是被聖靈感動的，也沒有能說「耶穌是主」的。」 耶穌自己在約翰福音 John 15:26 中說道：「但我要從父那裡差保惠師來，就是從父出來真理的聖靈；他來了，就要為我作見證」。對基督真實的認識，唯有藉著聖靈光照聖經，為祂作見證才能獲得。若沒有聖靈的光照，單單讀經不足以獲得對基督真實、活潑的認識。如果一個人渴望別人真正認識耶穌並相信祂，就必須尋求聖靈為他們作見證，而不是依靠個人的講解能力，而是依靠聖靈。

2. The Holy Spirit has power to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. This is based on John 16:8-11: "And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on Me; Of righteousness, because I go to My Father, and ye see Me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged". The conviction of sin, particularly the sin of not believing in Jesus (as seen in Acts 2:36, 37), is the Holy Spirit's work. Human reasoning alone cannot convict; the Holy Spirit can do it quickly when believers, in their helplessness, look to Him. The Spirit produces conviction through believers, as seen at Pentecost when the Spirit, sent to Peter and others, convicted three thousand through their preaching (Acts 2:4-37).

2. 聖靈有能力叫世人為罪、為義、為審判，自己責備自己。

☘️ 此乃根據約翰福音 John 16:8-11：「他既來了，就要叫世人為罪、為義、為審判，自己責備自己。為罪，是因他們不信我；為義，是因我往父那裡去，你們就不再見我；為審判，是因這世界的王受了審判」。叫人為罪(特別是不信耶穌的罪，如使徒行傳 Acts 2:36-37 所見)自己責備自己，是聖靈的工作。單憑人的理論無法使人知罪；當信徒在無助中仰望聖靈時，聖靈能迅速成就此事。聖靈是透過信徒產生使人知罪的果子，正如五旬節時，被差遣到彼得和其他人那裡的聖靈，藉著他們的講道使三千人知罪，我們的責任是傳講神的話語，並仰望聖靈產生知罪的心（參見使徒行傳 Acts 2:4-37）。

3. The Holy Spirit has power to renew men or to make men new, to regenerate. Titus 3:5 states, "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost". Regeneration is the Holy Spirit's work, transforming a person dead in sins, with a mind blind to God's truth and a will at enmity with God, by imparting God's nature. This gives hope for even the most hardened cases. The Spirit regenerates others through believers (I Corinthians 4:15), using the Word made living by His power. Upon regeneration, the Holy Spirit dwells in every believer (I Corinthians 3:16; 6:19; Romans 8:9). This makes the believer's body the temple of the Holy Spirit, a solemn truth that should deter defilement. This indwelling is a direct "fruit" of the Spirit's power, leading to a transformed life and a new relationship with God.

3. 聖靈有能力更新人或使人成為新造的人，即重生。

☘️ 提多書 Titus 3:5 記載：「他便救了我們，並不是因我們自己所行的義，乃是照他的憐憫，藉著重生的洗和聖靈的更新」。重生是聖靈的工作，祂能改變一個死在罪惡過犯中的人 — 心思原本對神的真理視而不見，意志與神為敵且執意犯罪，情感敗壞且卑劣 — 藉著賦予神的性情來轉化他。這為即使是最剛硬的案例也帶來了盼望。聖靈透過信徒使他人重生(哥林多前書 1 Corinthians 4:15)，藉著祂的能力使道成為活著的道。重生之後，聖靈就住在每一位信徒裡面(哥林多前書 1 Corinthians 3:16； 1 Corinthians 6:19；羅馬書 Romans 8:9)。這使得信徒的身體成為聖靈的殿，我們當然不應該像許多自稱是基督徒的人那樣玷污它。這種內住是聖靈大能的直接「果子(fruit)」，引導人進入轉變的生命和與神的新關係中。

4. The Holy Spirit has power to give abiding and everlasting satisfaction. Jesus says in John 4:14, "But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life". Comparing this with John 7:37, 39, Torrey asserts that this "water" signifies the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit alone can satisfy every longing of the soul, unlike worldly joys which lead to further thirst. Giving oneself up to the Holy Spirit's inflowing results in a lack of desire for worldly pleasures like the theater, ballroom, card parties, worldly gain, or honor. This inner satisfaction is a profound "fruit" of the Spirit's presence.

4. 聖靈有能力賜予持久永恆的滿足。

☘️ 耶穌在約翰福音 John 4:14 中說：「人若喝我所賜的水就永遠不渴；我所賜的水要在他裡頭成為泉源，直湧到永生」。將此與約翰福音 John 7:37,39 比較，作者托雷指出這「水」是指聖靈。唯有聖靈能滿足人靈魂深處一切的渴望，不像世俗的享樂只會引致更深的乾渴。將自己交託給聖靈的湧流，或者說是你心中聖靈湧出的泉源，結果就是不再渴望世俗的娛樂，如戲院、舞廳、牌局、屬世的利益或尊榮。這種內在的滿足是聖靈同在所結出的深遠「果子(fruit)」。

5. The Holy Spirit has power to set us free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:2 reads, "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death". This "law of sin and death" is described in Romans 7:9-24, a state of bondage many experience. Freedom comes not through self-effort but by surrendering to the Holy Spirit to do what we cannot (Romans 8:2-4). Romans 8 depicts the true Christian life, where the Spirit works obedience and victory. While the flesh remains, believers are not "in the flesh" but "live after the Spirit," mortifying the deeds of the body through the Spirit (Romans 8:12,13; Galatians 5:16). This victory over sin is a continuous "fruit" of relying on the Spirit's power, not our own.

5. 聖靈有能力使我們脫離罪和死的律。

☘️ 羅馬書 Romans 8:2 寫道：「因為賜生命聖靈的律，在基督耶穌裡釋放了我，使我脫離罪和死的律了」。這「罪和死的律」在羅馬書 Romans 7:9-24 中有所描述，是許多人經歷的被捆綁的狀態。自由並非來自自身的徒勞努力，而是藉著降服於聖靈，讓祂來成就我們所不能成就的(羅馬書 Romans 8:2-4)。羅馬書第 8 章描繪了真實的基督徒生活，「要按着聖靈的新樣，不按着儀文的舊樣。」(羅馬書 Romans 7:6) 雖然肉體仍然存在，但信徒不是「屬乎肉體」，而是「隨從聖靈」，藉著聖靈治死身體的惡行(羅馬書 Romans 8:12,13；加拉太書 Galatians 5:16)。這種對罪的得勝是持續倚靠聖靈能力，而非我們自身能力的「果子(fruit)」。

6. The Holy Spirit strengthens the believer with power in the inward man. Ephesians 3:16 (R.V.) states, "That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, that ye may be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inward man". The results, or "fruits," of this strengthening are detailed in verses 17-19: Christ dwelling in our hearts, being "rooted and grounded in love," being made "strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge," ultimately leading to being "filled unto all the fullness of God".

6. 聖靈用大能大力堅固信徒裡面的人。

☘️ 以弗所書Ephesians 3:16 記載：「求他按著他豐盛的榮耀，藉著他的靈，叫你們心裡的力量剛強起來」。這種堅固的結果(或「果子」)，在 Ephesians 3:17-19 節中有詳細說明：基督住在我們心裡，使我們「愛心有根有基」，能「和眾聖徒一同明白基督的愛是何等長闊高深，並知道這愛是過於人所能測度的」，最終引致被「神一切所充滿的，充滿了你們」。

7. The Holy Spirit has power to lead us into a holy life, a life as "sons of God," a godlike life. Romans 8:14 (R.V.) says, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God". The Spirit not only empowers holy living but also actively guides and moulds believers into this life when they surrender to Him. This divine sonship is a result of being led by the Spirit.

7. 聖靈有能力引導我們過聖潔的生活，一種作為「神的兒子」的生活，一種像神的生活。

☘️ 羅馬書 Romans 8:14 說：「因為凡被神的靈引導的，都是神的兒子」。聖靈不僅賜予過聖潔生活的能力，而且當信徒降服於祂時，祂也積極引導和塑造他們進入這種生活。這種神聖的兒子名分是被聖靈引導的結果。

8. The Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God. According to Romans 8:16 (R.V.), "The Spirit Himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God". This is a co-witnessing: our spirit testifies, and the Holy Spirit testifies alongside it. Galatians 4:6 explains how: "And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father". This assurance of sonship, a precious "fruit," comes after freedom from sin's law, walking after the Spirit, mortifying body's deeds, and surrendering to the Spirit's leading (Romans 8:2,4,13,14).

8. 聖靈與我們的靈同證我們是神的兒女。

☘️ 根據羅馬書 Romans 8:16 ：「聖靈與我們的心同證我們是神的兒女」。這是一種共同的見證：首先，我們的靈見證我們是神的兒女；其次，聖靈與我們的靈一同見證我們是神的兒女。加拉太書 Galatians 4:6 解釋了如何作見證：「你們既為兒子，神就差他兒子的靈進入你們的心，呼叫：『阿爸！父！』」。這種兒子的確據，一個寶貴的「果子」，是在脫離罪的律法、隨從聖靈行事、治死身體的惡行，並降服於聖靈的引導之後才臨到的(羅馬書 Romans 8:2,4,13,14)。

9. The Holy Spirit brings forth in the believer Christlike graces of character, "the fruit of the Spirit". This is a central point regarding the "fruit of the power to believers." Galatians 5:22,23 lists these: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law". Torrey stresses that these beautiful character traits (also seen in Romans 5:5; 14:17; 15:13) are the Holy Spirit's "fruit," not produced by human effort. It is a singular "fruit" with multiple manifestations, and all graces will appear in those fully controlled by the Spirit. This Christ-life is unattainable by "flesh" or nature (contrasted with the works of the flesh in Galatians 5:19-21). It comes when believers, recognizing the utter badness of the flesh and despairing of self-effort, yield entirely to the indwelling Holy Spirit. This involves renouncing self and letting the Spirit bear His fruit (cf. Galatians 2:20). Torrey critiques "ethical culture" and "character building" that rely on human effort rather than the Spirit, comparing it to expecting thorns to bear figs (Matthew 12:33, Luke 6:44). True cultivation of graces is through utter submission to the Spirit's work, which is "sanctification of the Spirit" (I Peter 1:2; II Thessalonians 2:13; see also II Peter 1:5-7 for a related perspective on adding virtues).

9. 聖靈在信徒裡面結出基督般的品格美德，即「聖靈的果子」。

☘️ 這是關於「聖靈賜予信徒能力之果子」的一個中心論點。加拉太書 Galatians 5:22,23 列出了這些果子：「聖靈所結的果子，就是仁愛、喜樂、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信實、溫柔、節制。這樣的事沒有律法禁止」。托雷強調這些美好的品格特質(也見於羅馬書 Romans 5:5,14:17,15:13)是聖靈的「果子」，不是靠人的努力產生的。這是一個單數的「果子」，卻有多種彰顯，所有這些恩典都會在那些完全被聖靈掌管的人身上顯現出來。這種基督的生命是「肉體」或本性所無法達成的(與加拉太書 Galatians 5:19-21 中肉體的行為形成對比)。當信徒認識到肉體的全然敗壞，對自我努力感到絕望，並完全降服於內住的聖靈時，這果子才會結出。這包括完全棄絕自我，讓聖靈結出祂自己的果子(參照加拉太書 Galatians 2:20)。托雷批判那些依賴人力而非聖靈的「倫理培養」和「品格塑造」，將其比作期望荊棘結出無花果(馬太福音 Matthew 12:33，路加福音 Luke 6:44)。真正培養美德品格的方法是完全順服聖靈的工作，這就是「聖靈的成聖」(彼得前書 1 Peter 1:2；帖撒羅尼迦後書 2 Thessalonians 2:13；另參彼得後書 2 Peter 1:5-7 關於加添美德的相關觀點)。

10. The Holy Spirit has power to guide the believer "into all the truth". John 16:13 (R.V.) states, "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, He shall guide you into all the truth...". While initially promised to apostles, this applies to all believers (I John 2:20, 27), making them "taught of God" and independent of human teachers in a fundamental sense, though learning from Spirit-taught individuals is valuable. The Spirit uses the Word as His instrument (John 6:63; Ephesians 6:17; Ephesians 5:18, 19; cf. Colossians 3:16). This divine teaching surpasses mere human study, even of original languages, for a real understanding of truth. The Spirit declares "things that are to come" and especially glorifies Christ by taking His things and declaring them. This guidance into truth is a significant "fruit" of the Spirit’s indwelling and power.

10. 聖靈有能力引導信徒「進入一切的真理」。

☘️ 約翰福音 John 16:13 記載：「只等真理的聖靈來了，他要引導你們明白(原文作進入)一切的真理…」。雖然這應許最初是給使徒的，但也適用於所有信徒(約翰一書 1 John 2:20,27)，使他們「被神教導」，儘管向被聖靈教導的人學習是有價值的，在根本意義上不要依賴屬人的教師。聖靈使用神的話語作為祂的工具(約翰福音 John 6:63；以弗所書 Ephesians 6:17；以弗所書 Ephesians 5:18,19；參照歌羅西書 Colossians 3:16)。這種神聖的教導， 對真理的真正理解，超越了僅僅屬人的研究，即使是對原文語言有深入的研究。聖靈宣告「將來的事」，並且特別藉著取基督的事並宣告出來，來榮耀基督。這種進入真理的引導，是聖靈內住與大能所結出的重要「果子」。

11. The Holy Spirit has power to bring to remembrance the words of Christ. John 14:26 (R.V.) says, "But the Comforter, even the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said unto you". Primarily for apostles to ensure accuracy, this work also extends to believers, bringing needed Scripture to mind for personal life or service. This timely recall of God's Word, leading to peace (John 14:27), is another practical "fruit" of the Spirit.

11. 聖靈有能力使人想起基督的話。

☘️ 約翰福音 John 14:26 說：「但保惠師，就是父因我名所要差來的聖靈，他要將一切的事指教你們，並且要叫你們想起我對你們所說的一切話」。這個應許主要是對使徒們作出的，但也適用在一般信徒上，使他們在個人生活或事奉中，想起所需的經文。這種及時回憶起神的話語，並帶來平安(約翰福音 John 14:27)，是聖靈另一項實際的「果子」。

12. The Holy Spirit reveals the deep things of God and interprets His own revelation. I Corinthians 2:10-14 (R.V.) details this: the Spirit reveals to us what is hidden from and foolishness to the natural man, and imparts power to discern and appreciate what He has taught. The Holy Spirit is both the author and interpreter of the Word. Understanding requires looking to Him (Psalm 119:18). Inward illumination is necessary to comprehend spiritual revelation; natural understanding is insufficient, a mistake leading to errors like higher criticism. Torrey emphasizes emptying oneself of personal wisdom to receive God's wisdom (Matthew 11:25; Philippians 3:4-7, 9; Romans 10:13; I Corinthians 1:19-21, 26, 27; 3:18; Isaiah 40:29; II Corinthians 12:9). This daily dependence on the Spirit for illumination is crucial for growth and understanding, a vital "fruit" of His ministry in us.

12. 聖靈啟示神深奧的事，並解釋祂自己的啟示。

☘️ 哥林多前書 1 Corinthians 2:10-14 詳細說明了這一點：聖靈向我們啟示神的深奧之事，並賜予能力去辨識和領會祂所教導的，這些事對於屬血氣的人來說是隱藏的，並且是愚拙的。聖靈既是神話語的作者，也是其解釋者。理解需要仰望祂(詩篇 Psalms 119:18)。內在的光照是理解屬靈啟示所必需的；屬血氣的理解力是不夠的，是一個導致錯誤的迷途。托雷強調要倒空自己的智慧，才能領受神的智慧(馬太福音 Matthew 11:25；腓立比書 Philippians 3:4-7,9；羅馬書 Romans 10:13；哥林多前書 1 Corinthians 1:19-21,26,27,3:18；以賽亞書 Isaiah 40:29；哥林多後書 2 Corinthians 12:9)。每日倚靠聖靈的光照對於成長和理解至關重要，這是祂在我們裡面事奉的一個重要「果子」。

13. The Holy Spirit imparts power in communicating truth to others. This power for effective witnessing is highlighted in I Corinthians 2:1-5 (R.V.): "And my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power...". Also, I Thessalonians 1:5 ("Our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost") and Acts 1:8 ("But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you"). Effective communication of truth requires not just the Spirit's teaching to us, but His power enabling us to share it, not through human rhetoric but in "demonstration of the Spirit and of power". Failure in Christian work often stems from a wrong message, relying on natural understanding, or using human wisdom instead of Spirit-power. Empowered service is a clear "fruit" of the Holy Spirit.

13. 聖靈賜予向他人傳達真理的能力。

☘️ 這種有效見證的能力在哥林多前書 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 中得到強調：「我說的話、講的道，不是用智慧委婉的言語，乃是用聖靈和大能的明證…」。此外，帖撒羅尼迦前書 1 Thessalonians 1:5(「因為我們的福音傳到你們那裡，不獨在乎言語，也在乎權能和聖靈」)和使徒行傳 Acts 1:8(「但聖靈降臨在你們身上，你們就必得著能力」)也說明了這一點。有效地傳達真理，不僅需要聖靈對我們的教導，還需要祂的能力使我們能夠分享，不是透過屬人的言語，而是在「聖靈和大能的明證」中。基督徒工作的失敗往往源於錯誤的信息、倚賴屬血氣的理解，或使用屬人的智慧而非聖靈的能力。有能力的事奉是聖靈明確的「果子」。

14. The Holy Spirit has power to teach us how to pray, enabling "praying in the Holy Spirit". Jude 1:20 (R.V.) says, "But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit," and Ephesians 6:18 (R.V.), "Praying at all seasons in the Spirit". Recognizing our inability to pray as we ought (Luke 11:1; Romans 8:26 R.V.), we should look to the Holy Spirit (John 14:16, 17) to inspire and direct our prayers. True prayer is Spirit-led, and this guidance in prayer is another empowering "fruit" of His presence.

14. 聖靈有能力教導我們如何禱告，使我們能夠「在聖靈裡禱告」。

☘️ 猶大書 Jude 1:20 說：「親愛的弟兄啊，你們卻要在至聖的真道上造就自己，在聖靈裡禱告」，以弗所書 Ephesians 6:18 說：「靠著聖靈，隨時多方禱告祈求」。認識到我們不知道當怎樣禱告(路加福音 Luke 11:1；羅馬書 Romans 8:26)，我們應當仰望聖靈(約翰福音 John 14:16-17)來啟發和引導我們的禱告。真實的禱告是聖靈引導的，這種在禱告中的引導是祂同在所帶來的另一項賦予能力的「果子」。

In summary, Torrey's message is that the Holy Spirit is the source of all true power, transformation, and effectiveness in the Christian life. The "fruit" of this power is multifaceted, encompassing regeneration, inner satisfaction, freedom from sin, strength, guidance into holy living and truth, assurance of sonship, the development of Christlike character (the specific "fruit of the Spirit"), and empowerment for service, including witnessing and prayer. All these are accessible to believers who understand, claim, and surrender to the Holy Spirit's work, in conjunction with the Word of God.

♦ 總而言之，托雷的信息是，聖靈是基督徒生命中一切真正能力、轉化和效能的源頭。這種能力的「果子」是多方面的，包括重生、內在的滿足、脫離罪的自由、力量、引導進入聖潔生活和真理、是神的兒女的確據、基督般品格的發展(特定的「聖靈的果子」)，以及事奉的能力，包括作見證和禱告。所有這一切，對於那些理解、支取並降服於聖靈工作，並與神的話語相結合的信徒來說，都是可以獲得的。
