All the believers in Christ contain Christ as the costly pure nard, the pure ointment in our alabaster flask; in order for Christ to come forth and flow for the whole house to be filled with the fragrance, there is the need for the breaking of the … [Continue reading]

We need to Experience the Breaking of the Outer Man for the Release of God’s Life

September 12, 2014 by aGodMan 1 Comment

In order for there to be a pure flow of the life of God, we must be broken. Therefore, when we consider supplying others with the divine life, we must pay attention to our being broken. (Witness Lee, The Service for Building Up the House of God)

Every believer in Christ needs to experience the breaking of the outer man for the release of the life of God in his spirit (Heb. 4:12). When we received the Lord Jesus into us, He as the Spirit came into our human spirit and now dwells in us; the … [Continue reading]

God has to Break our Natural Life; He has to Touch our Natural Life in a Drastic Way

September 11, 2014 by aGodMan 2 Comments

The way of religion is to change man’s outward behavior; the way of God in His economy is to touch man’s inward life in order to change his inward being. (Witness Lee)

In Genesis 32:22-32 we see a vital and crucial experience in the life of Jacob - his being broken. Before then, he passed through a long process of supplanting, cheating his brother and dad, running away from his home for fear of his life, working … [Continue reading]

Seeing that We are Under the Discipline of the Holy Spirit for our Transformation

September 10, 2014 by aGodMan 2 Comments

Heb. 12:11 Now no discipline at the present time seems to be a matter of joy, but of grief; but afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised by it.

In our prayerful study of the book of Genesis we can see that in the life and experience of Jacob he had a lot of God's dealings. Jacob was a supplanter, trying to get what he wants by tricking others into doing things they later regretted, but God … [Continue reading]

Like Jacob, We have been Called for God’s Purpose and Our God is the God of Dealings

September 9, 2014 by aGodMan 3 Comments

Gen. 1:26 And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of heaven and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.

In the story of Jacob as recorded in Genesis we see how God chose him, selected him, and then called him. Even though he started out by struggling, fighting, and supplanting, by the end of his life, Jacob became Israel, a prince of God, one who was … [Continue reading]

Since God Loved us and Selected us, we should Cast Ourselves on Him and Trust Him!

September 8, 2014 by aGodMan 1 Comment

God’s selection depends on His sovereign mercy; as those who have been chosen by God, we should cast ourselves upon Him and trust that He will bring us to the point where we are pleasing to Him (quote from, Watchman Nee).

In the life of Jacob we see that he was chosen by God, dealt with by God, and broken by God so that he would enter into the reality of the dream he saw at Bethel in Gen. 28. First he saw the dream, and the dream of the house of God - God being … [Continue reading]

Experiencing Christ as the Reality of the Heavenly Ladder Set up in our Spirit

September 5, 2014 by aGodMan 1 Comment

Our regenerated spirit, which is God’s dwelling place today (Eph. 2:22), is the base on earth where Christ as the heavenly ladder has been set up (Gen. 28:12; 2 Tim. 4:22); hence, whenever we turn to our spirit, we experience Christ as the ladder bringing God to us and us to God (Quote from, Witness Lee).

Jacob dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it (see Gen. 28:12). This is a very significant dream, and the Lord Jesus confirmed in John 1:51 … [Continue reading]
