Blessed with the Inner Circulation of the Triune God as Love, Grace, and Fellowship

The entire church life depends on 2 Cor. 13:14, the circulation of the Divine Trinity, the current of the Divine Trinity in us – which is our spiritual pulse; we need to receive, enjoy, and flow out the Triune God as He is dispensing Himself into us in His divine economy. Amen!

Many Christians wonder why is God Triune – why is there the Father and the Son and the Spirit; why can’t there be just one God who does everything?

Well, there is one God, and this One is Triune – He is the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. Why is God Triune?

Why is He so complicated and complicating?

Why sometimes we see that the Father does or speaks something, at other times it is the Son who is incarnated, speaks, does, and accomplishes a lot of things, and still we see the Spirit who leads, guides, speaks, seals, is the pledge, is joined to us, and does so many things?

The Triune God is NOT for our mental understanding. Though we may want to mentally apprehend how is it that the Father does this, the Son does that, and then the Spirit also does something, this is not why God is Triune.

God is Triune for the purpose of dispensing Himself into man. In His economy, God is triune for the purpose of reaching man so that He may carry out His heart’s desire, His purpose.

God has a particular thing in mind: He has an economy, which is to dispense all that He is into us to be our life and our everything.

The entire Bible reveals not only what God does and speaks but even more, how the Divine Trinity – the Father, the Son, and the Spirit – is for God’s dispensing.

The Divine Trinity is for the distribution of God with all that He is, all He has done, and all He has accomplished into His chosen, redeemed, regenerated, and transformed people.

God is Triune for the purpose of dispensing Himself into us; He wants to work Himself into us so that we may enjoy Him and experience Him.

As we remain under His divine dispensing and enjoy all that He is being dispensed into our being, we are built up as the Body of Christ and prepared to be the bride of Christ for His second coming. Amen!

May we be saved from merely theologically trying to understand how God is triune; may we be saved from arguing with others concerning the Triune God and the Divine Trinity.

May we be brought into the enjoyment and experience of the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity.

2 Cor. 13:14 is not a verse for theological understanding but for our enjoyment and experience in our daily life.

We can daily enjoy the circulation of the Triune God in our being as the love, grace, and fellowship to bring all that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit is and has for our enjoyment and experience.

This is a deep matter requiring our spiritual seeing; we can see this by much prayer and opening to the Lord, asking for His mercy to unveil us to enter into this.

The Divine Trinity operates in us as the Circulation of the Triune God as Love, Grace, and Fellowship

Oh, the depths of the riches of Christ! How vast and immense they are! And how deep and high the revelation in God’s word is concerning the Triune God!

2 Cor. 13:14, such a simple verse, is full of deep meaning and high revelation concerning our experience of the Divine Trinity dispensing God into our being.

This verse shows us that we can enjoy the Divine Trinity in full by participating in the grace of Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

Paul doesn’t encourage us to try to understand the doctrine of the Triune God or do a theological study of the Divine Trinity; rather, he blesses us with the circulation of the Triune God in us as love, grace, and fellowship.

The love of God is the source (1 John 4:16), the grace of Christ is the course of the love of God in its manifestation (John 1:17), and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit is the transmission and communication of the grace of Christ with the love of God the Father.

All this is for the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity into us, the believers in Christ.

This shows us that the Divine Trinity operates in us in a wonderful way.

Such an operation can be likened to the circulation of blood in our body, which is vital to our human existence; in this circulation of blood we have everything we need, and anything we don’t need or that which is toxic is eliminated.

In our spiritual being we experience the operating Triune God; such an operation is very quiet but very vigorous and efficient. It is like the circulation of electricity, which powers all the electrical appliances and items; such a circulation is quiet, but powerful, vigorous, and efficient.

The love of God, the grace of Christ, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit operates in us to dispense all the riches of the Triune God into our being.

The source of this circulation of the Triune God is God as love; He is the source, the origin.

The course of this circulation is the grace of Christ, that is, Christ as grace; He is the embodiment, expression, and manifestation of the Father as love.

The circulation, flow, and reaching out of the love of God with the grace of Christ is the Spirit as fellowship – the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

This is the spiritual pulse of our Christian life.

If we have the reality of the Divine Trinity operating in us, if we have the circulation of the Triune God in our being as love, grace, and fellowship, we have a healthy spiritual life.

But when this flow stops, our spiritual life stagnates and stops also.

Without the circulation of blood in our body, we die physically; without the continual circulation of the Triune God in our being, we are dead spiritually. Oh, Lord!

2 Cor. 13:14 gives us a detailed description of the inner spiritual circulation, showing us that the Father as love flows in Christ the Son as grace and is transmitted into us in the Spirit as fellowship to impart what God is into our being.

The Triune God in Himself is always moving, flowing, and operating; there’s a constant move, operation, and flow among the Father, the Son, and the Spirit.

This is like the power plant, which is full of electricity and ready to send out electrical current to the whole city with all its houses, offices, appliances, and electrical items according to their need.

When the flow of electricity stops, however, when there’s a power cut, everything stops and there is darkness and chaos.

When the circulation of the Triune God in our being stops, we are in darkness, death, and chaos. Oh, Lord!

Our entire Christian life and church life depends upon 2 Cor. 13:14; we all need to have the Divine Trinity operating in us by the circulation of the Triune God as love, grace, and fellowship.

When we meet with one another, there needs to be an inner flow of life, a flow of the Triune God; when we speak to one another, we need to minister Christ to one another.

Many times as we meet with the saints we “feel the pulse” of their Christian life; we sense whether there’s a flow of life or whether the circulation of the Triune God is hindered in them. Oh, Lord!

May we deal with anything that the Lord exposes in our fellowship with Him so that there would be no hindrance to the circulation of the Triune God in our being!

May we exercise our spirit and contact the Lord in the morning and throughout the day, opening to Him and allowing the flow of life to remove anything that hinders this spiritual circulation in us!

And when we speak, may we learn to be one spirit with the Lord to minister life to others, bringing them into the sweet flow of life, the circulation of the Triune God in their being!

It is by having this inner flow of life that constantly flows and circulates that we can live Christ, accomplish God’s purpose, be built up as the Body of Christ, be prepared as the bride of Christ, and consummate the New Jerusalem!

For eternity there will be a flow of life from the throne of God, watering us and producing the tree of life with many fruits, fresh fruits each month, for our life and life supply!

Lord Jesus, we open to the inner operating of the Triune God in our being. Hallelujah, God operates in us quietly yet vigorously to dispense all that the Triune God is and has into our being for our enjoyment! Amen, Lord, we treasure the sweet flow of life. We open to the circulation of the Triune God in our being. May the love of God, the grace of Christ, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us and richly supply us with all that God is. May our church life be filled with the circulation of the Triune God in the saints and among the saints. Amen, Lord, keep our being open to the transmitting of what God is into us. May we have a healthy spiritual pulse with no interruptions. Keep us open to You. We confess anything that You expose as a hindrance or blockage to the flow of life. Flow in, Lord, and flow out!

Bring God’s Presence to man and Bring Man into God by Blessing them with the Triune God

The blessing of the Apostle Paul in 2 Cor. 13:14 brings us into the presence of God; also, it brings God into us. On one hand, we bring God’s presence into others by ministering the Triune God to them as their unique blessing.

On the other hand, as we minister Christ to others and they receive Him, we bring man into God.

On the one hand, to bless others is to bring them into the presence of God. On the other hand, to bless others with the Triune God is to bring them into God for them to enjoy all that God is.

When we have the inner circulation of the Triune God and we abide in the Lord, whatever we say to others is a blessing, for the Lord flows through us.

When we abide in the Lord and speak to others, we bring God to them and we bring them into the circulation of the Triune God so that they also enjoy Him as love, grace, and fellowship. Hallelujah!

God wants not only to bless us but also to make us a blessing; He wants to dispense Himself into us and to bring others into this divine flow of life through our contact with them.

May we daily be blessed with the inner circulating Triune God and may we bring others into this flow of life through our interaction with them!

Love, grace, and fellowship are three stages of God for our enjoyment; love is within, grace is love expressed, and fellowship is the transmission of grace into us.

God the Father is the source as love; Christ the Son is the course as grace, expressing God as love; God the Spirit is the flow as the fellowship, conveying and transmitting God as love and Christ as grace.

And we are the receivers, the beneficiaries of the flowing Triune God.

When we received the Lord, the Divine Trinity started to operate in us, and we have the circulation of the Triune God in our inner being.

When we come to the Lord in His word, when we pray and fellowship with Him, and when we are in the meetings of the church or meet with the saints, we sense the flow of the Triune God within us.

No matter what problems we may have, no matter how many mistakes we have made, we can contact the Triune God by simply calling on the name of the Lord, and the flow of life is restored.

In the fellowship with the Lord, His light shines and exposes anything that hinders the flow of life. We should not fight with the Lord’s shining but rather, say Amen to what He exposes, and any hindrance or blockage will be removed.

If we do this, we will enjoy the inner circulation of the Triune God in our being, and we will have such a sweet flow of life.

This flow of life brings God as love and Christ as grace by means of the Spirit as fellowship.

The inner circulation of the Triune God is quiet and many times undetected, but it is very vigorous and efficient.

As we open to the Lord and just call on His name throughout the day, we remain in the flow of life.

This is our real blessing, to remain in the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity, the inner circulation of the Triune God.

Then, when we meet others, we bless them with the Triune God, for our words and actions will minister Christ to them.

May we remain in the divine flow, contacting the Lord and enjoying Him as our unique blessing, and may we bless others by bringing them into the presence of God.

May we enjoy and be blessed with the processed and inner circulating Triune God day by day so that we may dispense Him as the unique blessing of the universe into others for the accomplishment of God’s heart’s desire to have the testimony of Jesus, the corporate expression of Jesus on earth (Gal. 3:14; Gen. 12:2; Phil. 1:25; Rev. 1:2, 9-12).

Lord Jesus, thank You for blessing us with Yourself by dispensing the Triune God into our being for our enjoyment and supply. Thank You, Father, for being full of love toward us. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for being grace to us for our enjoyment. Thank You, Holy Spirit, for being the fellowship that transmits God as love and Christ as grace into us. Hallelujah, the Triune God is in us and we have an inner circulation of the Triune God in our being! Amen, Lord, keep us enjoying and being blessed with the processed and inner circulating Triune God day by day! Flow in us and flow out of us. May we enjoy the divine dispensing and dispense the Triune God as the unique blessing of the universe! Amen, Lord, flow through us into others for the accomplishment of God’s heart’s desire to have the testimony of Jesus!
