禱告與那個看不見的世界

但以理書 第10章

我們是否知道，我們一開始禱告，就啟動了一場屬靈的戰爭。特別是當我們想進佔撒但的領土，爭戰將更激烈。

我們若與神的關係和好，神便會即時垂聽我們的禱告。或許因為種種原因，我們未能得到即時的應允，但我們仍確信神已聽了禱告(參看詩篇一一六1；但十12)。

聖經中有許多寶貴經文，都有助我們去了解神為何延遲應允禱告，但這章經文卻揭示了其中一個重要原因。第13節告訴我們，那位奉派去回應但以理禱告的天使，原來被撒但的其中一個爪牙(魔君)阻攔，以致但以理連續三個星期禁食、悔罪和懇求，都得不到回應。

那位魔君是誰呢？是否真的有魔鬼呢？撒但是否有僕役呢？答案是絕對肯定的「有」。聖經告訴我們，在這個物質世界以外，還有一個看不見的世界，正邪的力量正在不斷地激戰爭持(參以弗所書六章12節)。

神有無數的天使作祂的使者(參希伯來書一章14節)。撒但亦有很多墮落的天使作他的爪牙。我們雖然看不見他們，他們卻是滿有能力和非常危險的，不住地在這世界作惡。

今天，世界各地仍有無數敬拜撒但或服侍邪靈的人。他們這樣做，簡直是玩火自焚。他們的心思意念和生活言行都讓罪去污染和蒙蔽，只有基督才能拯救他們脫離撒但的轄制。

至於我們信徒，我們必須堅決抵擋撒但，並向撒但宣稱我們已在基督裡得勝。特別是當我們決志緊跟基督，或是要去進佔撒但領土的時候，就更要靠著基督來擊退撒但，因為只有基督才能制伏他。

倘若你因禱告未蒙應允而困擾，也許可以藉著基督之名，來擊退撒但的攔阻。不要灰心放棄。神必垂聽禱告，也必會回應你的所求。

PRAYER AND THE UNSEEN WORLD

Often when we start praying, we set in motion a spiritual conflict. This is particularly true if we are seeking to advance in any way into Satans territory.

If we ourselves are right with the Lord, our prayer is immediately heard by God. For many reasons, we may not receive an immediate answer yet we have the assurance that God has heard us (Psalm 116:1; Daniel 10:12).

One of the most helpful and important verses in the Bible on the problem of delayed answers to prayer, however, is here in this chapter. Verse 13 tells us that the angel, who was sent to answer Daniels prayer for further knowledge, was resisted by one of Satans demonic leaders. No answer came to Daniel for three weeks, in spite of his fasting, penitence and pleading.

Who was the demonic leader? Are there really demons? Does Satan have servants? The answer is definitely yes. The Bible teaches that there is an unseen world around us in which there are tremendous forces for good and evil (Ephesians 6:12).

God has thousands of angels as his messengers (Hebrews 1:14). Satan also has a great number of fallen angels who are his messengers of evil. They live and work in our world but they are invisible, powerful and dangerous.

There are millions of people who worship Satan today or who are reaching out to the evil spirits. They do so at their own peril. They are opening their minds and lives to all that is wrong. Only Christ can deliver them from Satans clutches.

We ourselves may need to take a stand against Satan and claim our victory in Christ, as we have already said. This will be especially true if we are seeking to go on further with Christ or to advance into Satans territory. He will not yield to anyone except to Christ Himself.

If you are struggling in prayer, it might be that you should claim afresh Christs victory over Satan. Dont give up. Dont be discouraged. God has heard you and He will answer you.
