Putting on Christ as our Clothing by Living out Christ to Magnify Him in our Living

Although we have been baptized into Christ and are already in Christ (Gal. 3:27), we must still put Him on; to put on Christ is to live by Christ (Gal. 2:20) and to live out Christ (Phil. 1:21), thus magnifying Christ (v. 20). Witness Lee

Before we can work for God as priests we need to take care of our living; Christ is everything to us for our living as priests. Christ is our food - He is the reality of all the offerings in a specific and detailed way, and He is the bread of the … [Continue reading]

Daily Eating and Enjoying Christ as the Reality of all the Offerings for our Food

John 6:57 As the living Father has sent Me and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also shall live because of Me.

Jesus Christ, our High Priest, testified that the living Father sent Him and He lived because of the Father; He ate the Father and lived because of the Father, and now we as the sons of God and priests to God need to eat Christ and live because of … [Continue reading]

Seeing how Christ is the Food, the Clothing, and the Dwelling of the Priests

Now we see that the living of the priests is also Christ. They not only handle Christ, but they also eat of Him. They must experience Him in a very inward and subjective way. They handle Christ not only as the merchandise for others but also as the food for themselves. (Witness Lee)

The Lord today desires to recover the priesthood for God's building; when there's a group of priests who live and function in a normal way, the Body of Christ is built up. We need to be restored to a normal situation, a proper situation according to … [Continue reading]

A Priest is a one who serves in newness of spirit and ministers to the Lord

This week we have been both enjoying and prayerfully studying the definition of a priest: what is a priest according to the Bible, and how can we be priests to God today. Christ Himself is the High Priest, and the way for us to be priests is to have … [Continue reading]

A Priest lives the God-man life by Living in the Mingled Spirit to Express Christ

In order to live and serve as priests, we need to know that the Lord Jesus today, as the embodiment of the Triune God, is the Spirit indwelling our spirit and is mingled with our spirit as one spirit (see 2 Cor. 3:17; 1 Cor. 15:45b; 6:17).

"The focus of God's economy is the mingled spirit, the divine Spirit mingled with the human spirit (Rom. 8:4)" - this statement is of tremendous importance in our Christian life. Many believers have missed the aim of God's purpose for their life … [Continue reading]

Serving God as Priests by Knowing our Spirit and Living in our Mingled Spirit

The union of God and man is altogether a matter of the union of the two spirits, the Spirit of God and the spirit of man. God is Spirit and man has a spirit; thus, these two spirits can be united together as one. But how does the union of these two spirits occur? This is the deepest mystery in the Bible, and it is difficult for man to comprehend. Witness Lee

All the regenerated believers in Christ are priests to God, and the primary matter related to a priest is that he is one who contacts God, is filled with God, is saturated with God, and lives a life in the mingling of God with man. A priest is one … [Continue reading]

A Priest is in the Process of being Mingled with God in his Daily Christian Life

God’s economy is mainly to work Himself into His chosen and redeemed people in order to make Himself one with them and to make them one with Him. In His economy God even mingles Himself with His people to be one entity with them. W. Lee, Life-Study of the Psalms

According to the entire Bible, a priest is not one who mainly does things for God to serve Him but one who is absolutely and thoroughly mingled with God. When a priest entered into the tabernacle and passed through the Holy Place to enter the Holy … [Continue reading]
