你最想得到什么？

[align=center]凯西·库尔曼（Kathryn Kuhlman）[/align]　　我要分享一些真正重要的事情。我相信，神从来没有给我什么特别的东西。神从来没有给我任何东西，是他不会给其它人的──只要那人肯付代价。对神来说，我并不是特别的一个。他给我的每件东西，他都同样愿意给你。
　　但愿我能够对你说，那代价是便宜的。今时今日，人人都想检便宜；可是，神那边并没有便宜货。年青人哪，要是我告诉你这一切都是廉价的，那我就是在说谎。你看到我走在台上，看到那迷人的一面；那确实是令人向往的！但你只看到那荣耀的一面，你就只看到这些。6{*V[~@es7@$k
　　有一次一位记者问我：“你怎样为这样一个事奉作准备呢？”我回答说：“先生，我每时每刻都在准备。”6X9zFe:U2@4gjF

　　今时今日，人人都想要得些什么，却不肯付代价。你不付代价，就不会得到什么。任何事物都有一个代价，就视乎你最想要的是什么。面对事实吧！这一代就是不肯面对事实。然而，说到属灵的事，那可是世界上最要紧的事啊！你可得面对事实的真相啊。+I"tH6O%f c
　　每当我走到台上去，我就明白戴维说：“不要从我身上收回你的圣灵”是什么意思。
　　也许我比这儿任何人都更清楚戴维的意思和感受。我不惧怕撒但，因为我可以用主耶稣用过的武器对付它：“经上记着说……”。我可以面对撒但。我也可以面对地狱一切的污灵，用主耶稣用过的武器对付它们。我不怕人。我只怕令圣灵忧伤，只怕恩膏会离我而去。R!L-Bn/c:b!o9]C-\
　　昨天，这场内成千上万的人只看到那些神迹，看到那荣耀，但他们当中只有很少数人看得到神迹发生前所付上的代价。神可以拿走我的一切，可以拿走我的一切，只给我留下蔽体的衣服和脚上的鞋子。纵或只有面包、清水让我糊口，我仍然愿意出去。所以，神啊！帮助我。如果你要我到街角上去传扬你的道，我愿意去，但千万不要从我身上收回你的圣灵。

　　要是我知道圣灵感到忧伤，要是我知道圣灵要离我而去，我就绝不会再走到台上。我绝不会假装什么，但就在那一刻，我将会成为世上一个最普通的人，再没有什么会发生了。我可以说同样的话，做同样的事，但那秘密的能力却在于圣灵。
　　你会问：“你怎么知道呢？你怎么知道有人得了医治？怎么知道呢？”
　　你知道，这是属灵的事，用人的词汇来表达非常困难，得用一套属灵的词汇才行。我怎样才能向你说清楚呢？只有圣灵能够给你属天的启示，只有圣灵能够让你明白，“降服”和“自我死去”的境地，是世上最难达到的。我告诉你，这真的不容易。“自我死去”是世上最难的事，然而，你可以进到一处完全没有自我，唯独只有他的境地。4G\Vu8a9bNH

　　我不能利用圣灵，我做不到。这器皿只能让圣灵去使用。要知道，你可以拥有世上最了不起的才干，但若不是给圣灵使用，就不能为神成就什么。“万军之耶和华说，不是倚靠势力，不是倚靠才能，乃是倚靠我的灵”（和合本圣经撒迦利亚书四章六节）。这时你就完完全全的死了。
　　你会问：“你怎么能做到的？”
　　我无法告诉你，我也不知道。我只知道，凯西·库尔曼已经死了。你想知道这事工的秘诀吗？那就是：凯西·库尔曼已经死了。我们讲论主耶稣的死，但那是他的十字架；朋友，那是他的。圣经说，背着你的十字架，跟从他（马太福音十章三十八节）。y(qC4kb0R\Q

　　我有一个十字架，是我要在上面死去的。亲爱的啊，有一个十字架！主耶稣常常提到他的十字架。当他的身体被人钉在那个十字架的时候，那是他的十字架，不是我的，也不是你的，是他的。s9hLmR5XBK*c
　　十字架是死的记号。我们不喜欢提到死亡，可我们都得面对死亡。按自然来说，或迟或早，我们都得面对死亡：每个人都要面对，不管你喜欢与否。但此刻我所说的，是对私欲的死。)HQ`)k ~}{
　　这世代是个自私的世代。人们都自私，这是他们自己从未察觉的。从来没有人承认自己是个自私的人。FG`4V4z

　　我可以随便拿起一份报纸，看上面关于凯西·库尔曼的任何报导，也可以看有关的电视广播，但那一切跟我是毫无相干的。我没有把那些跟我自己扯上任何关系。我可以今天就离开这个事奉，却仍能说：“啊！神不是很奇妙么？”圣灵不是值得尊荣么？而神是我的审判主，我实在无法把这个事奉和凯西·库尔曼扯上任何关系。凯西·库尔曼老早就死了。
　　我不知道你是否明白。我不知道。我只能告诉你，他会收纳你献上给他的，但绝对不会强迫你。他绝对不会强迫你，绝对不会。如果你正在等待他强迫你去过顺服的生活，那他可不会那样做，绝对不会。这是你无法从书本上学会的。
　　也许你通晓所有的神学理论，但我所说的并不止是找到世上最优秀的老师：不止如此，是啊！不止如此。那不止是比其它人得着更多的好处，也不止是热心行善。那是一些让你感到痛的东西。@fD#M,ay3c
　　让我问你一个问题：在你的生命中，你最想得到什么？
#||(C}4p+nhF
　　这是要去面对的。面对事实，面对自我。面对面的，看清楚你自己。也许你并不渴想得到我所说的那些，也许那根本就不是你想要的。也许在你的生命中，还有其它你更想要、你认为更值得拥有的东西。
　　然而，我若不是拥有一切我所拥有的，我跟本就不能存活下去，也跟本不想存活下去。
　　若没有了保罗所说的那份团契关系，那份与圣灵的相交，我就不能存活，绝对不能。其它一切都是虚空，其它一切都不重要。但也许你并不想要这些。也许你并不想要神为你预备那上好的。也许，有些东西对你更重要；可是啊！只要你品尝过那经历……
　　我生来就没有才干，完全没有。或许正因为这个原故，我可以轻易说：“拿这什么都没有去使用吧。”*z!^}Jq)Z g
　　对一些人来说，要死在十字架上也许比较困难。可是，十字架就在那儿。你前面就有一个十字架──你自己的十字架，人人没都有例外。你要对它怎样？当你面对那十字架的时候，记住：重要的只是你最想要的是什么。
:?&k*T q"svD2L~4Roa
　　我不能替你作决定。我已经作了我自己的决定，也为我所作的感到高兴。或许，现在看来你会觉得实在太难，因为那代价是昂贵的；但究竟你最想要的是什么？这正是问题所在。其它一切都是至暂至短的，但我所说的却恒久永存。
　　你看，我们常常在唱：“我愿献奉……我愿降服……”，唱到几乎变成陈腔滥调了。有时，我们行诸多的礼仪，甚至连自己都麻木了。死去，认认真真的。死去，死去。但我们就是不喜欢提到死亡，不喜欢面对死亡。
　　神要为你做什么？你知道得实在太少了，实在太少了。神要为你做什么？你知道得实在太少──除非，你愿意放下一切。跟你自己说吧：“我在我的十字架上死。”再说一遍：“我在我的十字架上死。”'B Z:ae"u0yn'^
　　说呀：“穷尽世上一切，我还要把所有的都献给你。”你是认真的么？是认真的么？真的穷尽整个世上的一切么？是的，其它一切都不重要，都不重要。0r!ho ~T+v
　　他不要成为次选，他不要。我敢说，真的，他不要成为次选，他不要成为次选。你无法叫他妥协，他也绝对不会妥协。h,Ti&cQ[A

[align=right]摘译自《凯西·库尔曼》（Kathryn Kuhlman）一书。作者罗伯茨（Roberts Liardon）[/align]　　I want to share something that's virtually important. I do not believe that God has given me something special. God has not given to me one thing that He'll not give to anyone， if you'll pay the price. I'm not special to Him. He'll give to you absolutely everything that He has given to me.+\:v@O+^y||
　　I would like to tell you the price is cheap. Everybody's out for a bargain these days， but God has no bargains. Young people， I would lie to you if I were to tell you that it comes cheap. You see me walk on there on the stage， and all you see is the glamour of it. And it looks so glamorous. All you see is the glory of it. That's all you see.
　　A reporter said to me the other day， "What do you do to prepare for a service like this" and I said， "Sir， I stay prepared."/Fy9B5g7S!SB
　　Everybody these days want something for nothing. You don't get something for nothing. There's a price， and it depends on what you want most. Just face facts. This generation doesn't want to face facts. But when you're dealing with the spiritual， it's the most important thing in the world， and you've got to face the truth.@5u rOaDNg+R
?$|)xu%W"Xt.c(l
　　When I walk out on that stage， I know what David meant when he said， "Take not thy Holy Spirit from me."
　　I probably know better than anyone else in this place what he meant and how he felt. I'm not afraid of Satan. I can use the same weapon on Satan that Jesus used： "It is written." I can face Satan. I can face all the demons of hell and use the same weapon on them that Jesus did. I fear no man. But I fear lest I grieve the Holy Spirit， lest this anointing shall leave.XEds1o^gIOby`

　　Yesterday the thousands in this arena only saw the miracles， and they saw the glory， but very few of them could see the price that was paid before those miracles took place. He can take everything that I've got. He can strip me of everything I've got， leaving me but the clothing to cover my body， leaving me with the shoes on my feet， and I'm willing to go out there and live on bread and water the rest of my life， so help me God. I'll preach if I have to preach it from the street corner， but take not thy Holy Spirit from me！Kk0s&f'|M#T
　　If I knew the Holy Spirit was grieved， it I knew the Holy Ghost would depart from me， I would never again walk out on this stage. I would never make a pretense of things， but in that hour， I would be the most ordinary person that ever lived， and nothing would happen. I could say the same words， go through the same from， do the same things， but the secret power is the Holy Ghost.?/k!SQXh!E g1O*i
　　You say， "How do you know？ How do you know when somebody is healed？ How do you know？"A+b'KE f:f
3d(q;NI[5l5Hh]
　　You see， these things are spiritual. It's very hard to express them in the human vocabulary. There is a spiritual vocabulary. How can I say it to you？ Only the Holy Spirit can give you divine revelation. Only He can give you the understanding that a place of yieldedness and death to self is the hardest thing in the world to reach. I'm telling you it isn't easy. Death to self is the hardest thing in the world， but you can get to the place where it's none of self， but all of Him.lq,_4?/U*yBz
　　I cannot use the Holy Spirit. I can't do it. The Holy Spirit must use the vessel. Understand something. You can have the greatest talent in the world， but it will never accomplish anything for God unless the Holy Ghost uses it. "Not by might， nor by power， but by my spirit， saith the Lord of hosts" （Zech. 4：6 KJV）。 And you become so completely dead.
　　You say "How can you get that way？"
"i5X @ U`'@.A0kg
　　I can't tell you. I don't know. I only know that Kathryn Kuhlman died. You want to know the secret of this ministry？ Kathryn Kuhlman died. We talk about the death of Jesus. That was His cross， my friend. That was his cross. And the Word says to take up your cross and follow Him （Matt. 10：38）。$pL0c$oF4Z7SL8?Mx"E
　　I've got a cross that I've got to die on. Beloved， there's a cross. Jesus talked much about His cross. That was His cross when they nailed that body on that cross， that was not mine. It was not yours. That was His.E:b2R/PeOJh/P
　　A cross is the symbol of death. We don't like to talk about death， but we've got to face that. Sooner or later， in the natural， we have to face death - everyone - whether you like it or not. I'm talking this moment about death to selfishness.
||5R4Q*N
　　This is a selfish generation. It is a selfish age. People are selfish. That's one thing people never recognize in themselves. No one has ever been known to confess that he was a selfish person.
　　I can pick up a newspaper and read anything about Kathryn Kuhlman. I can watch the telecasts. I'm not associated with them whatsoever. I do not associate that with myself. I can leave this service today and say， "Oh， isn't God wonderful？" Wasn't it glorious of the Holy Spirit， and God is my judge， in no way could I associate that service with Kathryn Kuhlman. Kathryn Kuhlman died a long time ago.Fn6gv Z hU9q

　　I don't know whether you understand or not. I don't know. All I can tell you is that He'll take what you yield unto Him. He'll never force you. He'll never force you - ever. If you're waiting for Him to force you to a life of yieldedness， He'll never do it. Never. And it's something you can't get out of books.S/Uuo]\'{f
　　You may know all the mechanics so far as theology is concerned. But it's something more that having the best teachers in the world. It's more. It's more. It's something more than having greater advantages than any person living. It's more than good deeds. It's something that hurts.i v#q$c6E.@
　　I'll ask one question： What do you want most in life？,Mn4n7W4GHB*r
　　That has to come face. Face facts. Face yourself. Look yourself directly in the face. Maybe you don't desire what I've been talking about. Maybe that isn't you desire at all. Maybe it isn't. There are other things in life that you want more， that you feel are more desirable.|D-@@P2U^y
*].b'` x%KJx
　　But I couldn't live if I had anything less than I have. I wouldn't want to live. That fellowship that Paul was talking about， that communion with the Holy Spirit， I couldn't live without it. I couldn't. Everything else is so worthless. Nothing else really matters， but maybe you don't want it. Maybe you don't want the best that God has for you. Maybe there are other things that are more important to you， but oh， when once you've experienced it.]q;VC1B%}b _!t
　　I was born without talent， nothing. That's the reason probably it was easy for me to say， "Take nothing， and use it."O)W[3d-iq&w
　　For some of you， it may be a little harder to die on that cross. That cross is there. Without exception， you're faced with a cross - your cross. What are you going to do about it？ When you face that cross， remember： It's what you want most.T C0PpH _7F8hp
!Z2a;W(mp.|
　　I can't make that decision for you. I made your own decision. And I'm glad that I made it. It may look so hard to you just now. It costs much， but what do you want most？ That's the question. Anything else is temporary， but what I'm talking about is eternal.l L9oh3M'o4sb
　　So often， you know， we sing， "I surrender，" until it has almost become a clich？。 Sometimes we go to so much ceremony that it doesn't mean a thing. Death serious. Death， Death. We don't like to say it or face death.

　　Little do you know what God will do for you， little do you know. Little do you know what God will do for you， if you'll only surrender. Say to yourself， "I die on my cross." Say it again： "I die on my cross." U"E0wVW4m8aW
　　Say， "More than anything else in the world， I surrender everything to you." Do you really mean it？ Do you really mean it？ More than anything else in the whole world？ Nothing else matters. Nothing else matters.xa5P]3dAJy#n
　　He won't take second place. He refuses. He will not take second place， I promise you. I promise you. He will not take second place. You can't compromise with Him. He won't accept a compromise.
