歡迎來到 "心靈轉換"，我是布蘭登。

祈使句型

Never have people just have bad ideas, bad arguments, bad apologetics, and specifically today, bad advice.

人們從來都只是有糟糕的想法、糟糕的論點、糟糕的辯解，特別是今天，還有糟糕的建議。

And today we're going to look at a quick clip from Paul Washer on how to pray.

今天，我們將學習保羅-華許關於如何禱告的一個簡短片段。

Now, Paul Washer is someone that I have been meaning to cover for a while, and I'm sure I'm going to actually end up doing an entire series on Paul Washer.

保羅-華許（Paul Washer）是我一直想寫的一個人，我相信我最終會寫一個關於保羅-華許的系列。

But today, the goal is to have a very short video.

但今天，我們的目標是製作一個非常短的視頻。

However, I still think there's a lot of meat here, even though it's only four lines.

不過，儘管只有短短四行，我還是覺得這裡有很多內容。

I'll tell you what was told me many years ago.

我來告訴你多年前有人告訴我的事。

I've had a few videos on prayer, mainly this one.

我有幾個關於祈禱的視頻，主要是這個。

This video isn't going to be talking about does prayer work or is prayer actually harmful or testing prayer to see if there's actual results.

這段視頻不會談論禱告是否有效、禱告是否真的有害，也不會測試禱告是否有實際效果。

But what I want to talk about today is this advice.

This is so common, not just of Paul, but of so many different preachers and teachers where there is not really practical application, where there is just pretty and confusing language that sounds deep and wise.

這種情況很常見，不僅是保羅，還有許多不同的傳道人和教師，他們沒有真正的實際應用，只是用漂亮而混亂的語言來表達，聽起來深奧而智慧。

But when you leave the service after the emotional high and the music has stopped playing, what does it really mean?

但是，當你在情緒高漲之後離開禮拜堂，音樂也不再響起時，這究竟意味著什麼呢？

And I think the advice we get here from Paul on how to pray is not only not biblical, it's anti-biblical.

我認為保羅在這裡給我們的關於如何禱告的建議不僅不符合聖經，而且是反聖經的。

I think the best way to address this is going to go line by line.

我認為解決這個問題的最好辦法是逐條分析。

And the first line he says is pray until you can pray.

他說的第一句話就是祈禱，直到你能祈禱為止。

That through the practice of doing it, you'll actually learn how?

通過實踐，你就能真正學會如何做？

Yeah, it's not horrible advice for some things.

對某些事情來說，這並不是什麼可怕的建議。

Oh, you don't know how to shoot a free throw consistently?

Like I get the general concept, but when it comes to something as vague and intangible as prayer, again, what does that look like?

我明白這個概念的大致意思，但當涉及到祈禱這種模糊而無形的東西時，它又是什麼樣子的呢？

Because when I teach my son how to shoot a free throw, there's practical steps.

因為當我教我兒子罰球時，是有實際步驟的。

Well, you're Maybe you want to give yourself a little ritual before you begin.

好吧，你也許想在開始之前給自己來點儀式感。

Something to get the muscle memory going.

The position of your arm and elbow should be like this.

手臂和肘部的位置應該是這樣的。

There's a lot of actual advice that leads to something being able to say really general, hey, shoot until you can shoot.

有很多實際的建議，導致有些東西能夠說得很籠統，嘿，開槍直到你能開槍為止。

Because if you do this enough, you're going to get a result of consistency as long as you're practicing well.

因為如果你這樣做得足夠多，只要你練習得好，你就會得到一致的結果。

And you might even learn some new things along the way that work better for you.

說不定你還能學到更適合自己的新方法。

But we don't have all those practical steps.

Pray until you can pray is essentially meaningless.

祈禱直到你能祈禱為止基本上是沒有意義的。

你怎麼知道自己什麼時候到了？

Because before we get to step two, line two, first we have to know that we now know how to pray.

因為在進入第二步，即第二行之前，我們首先要知道，我們現在知道如何禱告了。

Is it when you start hearing the voice of God?

是你開始聽到上帝的聲音的時候嗎？

See, when everything is so vague and you're talking to an invisible thing and you're trying to sort through the thoughts in your head, I think you need a lot more practical advice.

你看，當一切都如此模糊不清，你在和一個看不見的東西對話，你在試圖理清腦子裡的想法時，我覺得你需要更多實用的建議。

所以還是那句話，你什麼時候到？

When have you learned that you now know how to pray simply by the act of praying?

你什麼時候學會了僅僅通過禱告就知道如何禱告？

Is praying, by the way, first of all, so complicated?

順便問一句，首先，祈禱有那麼複雜嗎？

We're going to get to a few verses specifically of what Jesus said about prayer.

下面我們將具體學習幾節耶穌關於禱告的論述。

But is it so hard that Christian believers at this conference in front of this man who supposedly don't know how to pray can start praying and through pure perseverance reach a point where they now can pray?

但是，在這個會議上，在這個據說不知道如何禱告的人面前，基督徒信徒能夠開始禱告，並通過純粹的毅力達到他們現在能夠禱告的地步，這有那麼難嗎？

Were they not doing it before when they said anything to God?

難道他們以前對上帝說任何話時沒有這樣做嗎？

Did he simply not hear it because they didn't know how?

是不是因為他們不知道怎麼做，所以他根本聽不到？

Because if God heard it, then it was prayer, correct?

因為如果上帝聽到了，那就是禱告，對嗎？

Even that there's this dividing line in the sand between prayer that is and prayer that is not is insane.

甚至在 "祈禱是 "與 "祈禱不是 "之間還有這樣一條分界線，這簡直是瘋了。

Only to follow it up with his second line, and then, so this is after you have arrived at learning how to pray, at actually praying because you prayed enough times that weren't praying that it's now become prayer somehow.

然後，這是在你學會了如何祈禱，真正開始祈禱之後，因為你祈禱的次數足夠多，而這些次數並不是祈禱，所以現在不知不覺就成了祈禱。

If you just arrived at praying, then you've immediately prayed.

如果你剛剛來到祈禱的地方，那麼你就已經立即祈禱了。

What does it mean to and then continue until you have prayed?

然後繼續禱告，直到禱告完畢，這意味著什麼？

Like, I'm trying to really think about this realistically.

比如，我在試著實事求是地考慮這個問題。

I lock myself in a closet for eight hours, and I'm picking that amount of time because earlier or later in the sermon, I'm not quite sure, Paul goes on to talk about these silly spiritual gifts that people seek after instead of being a real man of God who gets down on his knees and prays for eight hours straight, who fast for two weeks straight.

我把自己關在壁櫥裡八小時，我之所以選擇這段時間，是因為在講道的前面或後面，我不太確定，保羅接著談到了人們追求的這些愚蠢的屬靈恩賜，而不是成為一個真正的神人，跪下來連續禱告八小時，連續禁食兩週。

Again, just causing more division and doubt in the church.

同樣，這隻會給教會帶來更多的分裂和懷疑。

But let's say you don't know how to pray.

You hear Paul's advice, and you go lock yourself in a closet with a timer for eight hours, and you pray until you can pray.

你聽了保羅的建議，就把自己關在壁櫥裡，定時八小時，祈禱直到你能祈禱為止。

By the way, is this something that should happen in a couple minutes?

順便問一下，這種事幾分鐘後就會發生嗎？

比如，哦，我得把節奏掌握好。

Is it something that happens in a couple hours?

Like, what is the standard for acceptable understanding of what it is to pray?

比如，對祈禱的可接受理解的標準是什麼？

But whenever you reach that moment, now what do you do?

但是，每當你到達那一刻，你會怎麼做呢？

現在，你要祈禱，直到祈禱完為止。

Again, I'm not trying to just go over this.

我再說一遍，我並不想就這麼算了。

I'm sure it's starting to sound like nonsense.

我敢肯定，這聽起來像是廢話。

We're saying so many nothing statements here.

Like you figured it out, and now your words actually matter to God?

就像你想通了，現在你的話對上帝來說真的很重要？

Do you go on for another eight hours, and then it's done?

你會再堅持八個小時，然後就結束了嗎？

I know I already gave you a basketball example, but try to apply this to anything else.

我知道我已經給你舉了一個籃球的例子，但是試著把它應用到其他任何事情上。

Because this isn't a question that's benign.

This is one of the most important questions that could be asked if you're a believer.

如果你是信徒，這是最重要的問題之一。

How do I commune with God, my personal Savior, my Father, my Creator?

我如何與上帝、我的救世主、我的天父、我的造物主交流？

But see how much this fails even for the simplest of things.

但是，即使是最簡單的事情也會失敗。
