(This gem is primarily for anyone who teaches the bible)
来自司布真的讲道《祷告的金钥匙》
（这颗宝石主要是给任何教导圣经的人）
John saw a book in the right hand of him that sat on the throne — a book sealed with seven seals which none was found worthy to open or to look thereon.
约翰看见坐宝座的右手中有一书卷，用七印封严，无人配展开或观看。
What did John do?
约翰做了什么？
The book was by-and-by opened by the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, who had prevailed to open the book; but it is written first before the book was opened, “I wept much.”
这书卷后来被犹大支派的狮子打开，因祂已得胜能以展开；但在书卷被打开之前，经上记着说：”我大哭。”
Yes, and the tears of John which were his liquid prayers, were, as far as he was concerned, the sacred keys by which the folded book was opened.
是的，约翰的眼泪就是他流动的祷告，就他而言，这些是打开封严书卷的神圣钥匙。
Brethren in the ministry, you who are teachers in the Sunday school, and all of you who are learners in the college of Christ Jesus, I beg you remember that prayer is your best means of study!
在事工中的弟兄们，你们这些主日学的教师们，以及所有在基督耶稣学院中学习的人，我恳求你们记住，祷告是你们最好的学习方法！
like Daniel you shall understand the dream, and the interpretation thereof, when you have sought unto God; and like John you shall see the seven seals of precious truth unloosed, after that you have wept much.
如同但以理，当你寻求神时，你就能明白异梦和其中的解释；又如同约翰，在你多多哭泣之后，你就能看见宝贵真理的七印被解开。
“Yes, if you cry after knowledge, and lift up the voice for understanding; if you do you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures; then shall you understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.”
“是的，如果你呼求知识，为获得聪明扬声；如果你寻找它如寻找银子，搜求它如搜求隐藏的珍宝；那么你就会明白敬畏耶和华，得到神的知识。”
Stones are not broken, except by an earnest use of the hammer; and the stone breaker usually goes down on his knees. Use the hammer of diligence, and let the knee of prayer be exercised, too, and there is not a stony doctrine in Scripture which is useful for you to understand, which will not fly into shivers under the exercise of prayer and faith.
石头若不用力挥动铁锤就不会破碎；而碎石者通常都要跪下。要用勤勉的铁锤，也要运用祷告的膝盖，这样圣经中对你有益的任何坚硬教义，在祷告和信心的操练下都会粉碎。
To have prayed well is to have studied well.
祷告得好就是学习得好。
You may force your way through anything with the leverage of prayer.
借着祷告的力量，你可以突破一切。
Thoughts and reasoning may be like the steel wedges which may open a way into truth; but prayer is the lever which forces open the iron chest of sacred mystery, that we may get the treasure that is hidden therein for those who can force their way to reach it.
思想和推理就像能够开辟通向真理之路的钢楔；但祷告是撬开神圣奥秘铁箱的杠杆，让我们能够获取其中为那些努力寻求的人所隐藏的宝藏。
Take care that you work with the mighty tool of prayer, and nothing can stand against you.
要谨记用祷告这个强大的工具来工作，没有什么能够阻挡你。
