Sometimes it is difficult living with ten other flatmates who mostly want to go out and party. So often I am asked or even begged to join them – yet the life within will not let me. There is a sense of death within even when I considered doing so. But when I obey that life within, there is such a peace and joy within. I thought it would be so hard to continue to say no. But the more I enjoy the Lord and the more I spend time in His presence, it becomes SO easy (and quicker) to flee these things (2 Tim. 2:22). [read more online]
we are becoming the tree of life by being grafted into God and by living a grafted life!
We are not becoming “THE TREE OF LIFE” just as we are not becoming God in His Godhead, but by being grafted into Christ and as branches in the vine, we are part of the tree of life! When we are grafted into Christ, His divine life fills our human life, mingles with our human life, and spontaneously enriches, uplifts, and transforms our human life. In His economy God dispenses His divine life and element into us to mingle Himself with us and make us the same as He is. Now we are branches of the tree of life – and wherever we are, the tree of life is reaching out to others to minister life to them! [continue reading online]
eating the tree of life and being organically one with Christ as branches abiding in the vine
Even if our life would be perfect, God would not have wanted it – God wants to mingle His divine life with our human life, He wants to be joined and mingled with man to be man’s life and everything! The life we live today as Christians is a mingled life by continually minding our mingled spirit (Rom. 8:6). [continue reading online]
Being a Christian Student on the Campus – no matter what, we’re for Christ and the church!
In our Christian life, it seems like there is always something that demands our attention. In this case, I think a big danger is that if we don’t settle in our being that we MUST love the Lord first, best, and only, and that we MUST be for Christ and the church, then the attitude of being for the Lord when it is convenient may creep in [continue reading]
the God who has become experiential to us through our being in Him is the true God and eternal life
The last part of 1 John 5:20 is very mysterious and yet very packed with meaning. John says, “This is the true God and eternal life”. What does “THIS” refer to? Why didn’t John just say, “He is the true God and eternal life”?
God’s reality becomes our human reality through our enjoyment and experience of Him as the True One
Let us come to the place ordained by God – our human spirit – and with the offerings God desires – the reality of Christ becoming our human reality – to worship God the way He longs to! God is seeking such to worship Him today. We need to daily labor on Christ to know Him as the True One, to be in the True One, and in this organic union His reality becomes our reality, and His truthfulness becomes ours
we can know the True One with our regenerated spirit and with our mind enlightened by the Spirit
It is God’s deepest desire that His people would know Him and enjoy Him. We need to pursue to know this One who is The True One. By the exercise of our regenerated spirit mingled with the Spirit of reality, our mind is enlightened that we may know God, enjoy God, and experience God. This is the eternal life – that we may know Him, the only true God, and the One He has sent [continue reading]
