This is our Christian life and our church life – a life in which we daily learn – through many failures and some victories – to deny our natural life and live by the divine life. Once we received the Lord as our Savior and our life, He came into us as Another Life – […]
Day by day, we are continuing steadfastly in the teaching and fellowship of the apostles
Today I was encouraged with the fact that we can continue steadfastly in the teaching and fellowship of the apostles. In the Lord’s recovery, we are being recovered back to the teaching of the apostles (the proper teaching of the New Testament concerning Christ and the church) and the fellowship of the apostles (the fellowship […]
becoming genuine parts of the New Jerusalem by walking according to the golden divine nature in us
Before we were saved, we were “our own ruler”, and we did our best to live our life as we saw it fit or as we wanted to. But when we met the Lord Jesus, He as the King came into us with the divine kingdom! When we were under our own rule, we were […]
