Being in the Realm of Oneness by Exercising our Spirit to be Mingled with the Spirit

January 7, 2016 by aGodMan 1 Comment

The New Testament presents a clear picture that all the local churches — as the expression of the universal church, the universal Body of Christ — are located in their respective cities (Acts 8:1; 13:1; Rom. 16:1; 1 Cor. 1:2; Rev. 1:4, 11). Witness Lee

There's very much confusion today concerning the church, and it seems that most believers join the church of their preference, since there are so many options out there. But in the beginning, it was not so! We need to return to the Lord's word in the … [Continue reading]

Keeping the Unique Oneness of the Body of Christ on the Unique Ground of Locality

January 6, 2016 by aGodMan 2 Comments

According to the New Testament pattern set up and ordained by God and according to the principle of the New Testament revelation concerning God’s economy of the church, in each city in which the believers dwell, it is not allowed to have more than one unit as a local expression of the unique Body of Christ, nor is it permitted to have a local church in a certain city without the proper fellowship in the Body of Christ with the other local churches. Witness Lee

In order for us to know the church, we must first recognize the ground of the church. The one unique foundation of the church is Christ Himself, and no other foundation can anyone lay besides Christ, but the ground of the church is the practice of … [Continue reading]

The Local Ground of the Church is the Oneness of the Body Practiced in the Local Churches

January 5, 2016 by aGodMan 1 Comment

This week we are enjoying the spiritual significance and application of the local ground of the church. In the church life in the Lord's recovery, we have been brought back to God's original intention, which is to have the Body of Christ as His … [Continue reading]

Serving God by Burning in Spirit with the Fire of God’s Life, not with Strange Fire

December 17, 2015 by aGodMan 1 Comment

Our natural strength and ability need to be dealt with by the cross to become useful in resurrection for our service to the Lord. Witness Lee

As believers in Christ, we should live according to the principle of the tree of life, that is, we should depend on the Lord. In God's eyes the greatest sin is independence; doing things for God or in God's name yet without God's living presence is … [Continue reading]

Living According to the Principle of the Tree of Life, the Principle of Dependence

December 16, 2015 by aGodMan 1 Comment

O Lord, we stand before You beseeching You to speak again. Man is empty and cannot do anything. We can only ask for Your grace to open our eyes. Every time we open our mouths or make decisions, cause us to come before You and ask if our decision is according to right and wrong or according to the inward leading of life. Lord, cause us to see the difference between what is spiritual and what is fleshly. Cause us to really see the difference between inward light and outward law. Lord, save us from the way of death. Lord, it is wrong for us to live by discerning right from wrong. May we see that discerning right from wrong is sin and death, because only those who live in death can do this. Those who live in life must be led by life. It must be the life that takes the lead. Lord, be among us so that we would see this clearly. We have said this many times, and we want to say it again: May Your Word not be spoken in vain. Cause us to know what life is and what law is. Bless these scattered utterances. Have mercy on us, and grace us. Lead us in the way before us. In the name of the Lord Jesus. Amen. Watchman Nee

It is good to be brought back to God's original intention, what He desired to do and achieve from the very beginning: He wants to dispense Himself into us as life to be our life, life-supply, and everything, so that we may express Him corporately … [Continue reading]

The Divine Life Flowing in the Divine Nature is our Unique Way in our Daily Life

December 15, 2015 by aGodMan 1 Comment

The divine life flows in the divine nature as the unique way for the daily life of God’s redeemed people. Whatever we do according to God’s nature, we immediately have the deep sensation of the flow of life watering us. Witness Lee

God is life, and eternal life is God Himself. Apart from God, there is no life, and all life depends on God. However, many times we think that when someone is pious, devoted, has a good behaviour, is moral and ethical, has a gift, is powerful, knows … [Continue reading]

The Way of the Lord’s Recovery is the Way of the Eternal Life; Life is God Himself

December 14, 2015 by aGodMan 1 Comment

Rev. 22:1-2 And he showed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb in the middle of its street. And on this side and on that side of the river was the tree of life, producing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

The Lord's recovery is not only a recovery of the truth but also of life. This week we are getting into the matter of the eternal life in a deeper way to see some important principles related to the application and experience of this life in our … [Continue reading]
