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 […]

Psalm 130:3-4 – If You, O Jehovah, marked iniquities, Who, O Lord, would stand? But with You there is forgiveness, That You would be feared. The more the Lord forgives us, the more we fear Him, and at the same time the more we love Him. How marvelous is this! Isa 55:7-8 says Let the […]

We abide in Christ as the vine, we are rooted in Him as the soil, and we take Christ as the Head!

The Word of God is so rich, so full of illustrations and examples of our organic union with the Lord, and also it is so encouraging! This morning I especially enjoyed these three aspects concerning our relationship with the Lord: In John 15 we see that we are branches in Christ the vine – we […]

Holding Christ as the Head and being properly related to the other members in the Body of Christ

November 24, 2010 by aGodMan 15 Comments

This morning I was so impressed with the fact that, as members in the Body of Christ, we have no direct relationship one with another – we are related one to another and we fellowship one with another through the Head. All the members of my physical body have no special or direct fellowship one […]

Learning to have a clear sky with a throne set up above it in our experience with the Lord

November 18, 2010 by aGodMan 1 Comment

How much we need to have a clear sky between us and the Lord! Before we were saved, our spiritual sky was dark, cloudy, and even foggy – we couldn’t see God, we could not see the light, and everything was in darkness. But one day the Lord touched us and we repented, we confessed […]
