Our Triune God has been Processed and Consummated to become the Spirit

The New Testament reveals that our God has passed through a process in His economy to become the processed and consummated Triune God, which is the Spirit.

God became a man, lived a perfect human life, died on the cross, resurrected, and was ascended, so that He may become an all-inclusive, life-giving, compounded Spirit who can come into us to be our life and life supply. Hallelujah!

How does this relate to the matters that Leviticus speaks of?

In Lev. 26 we see that God commands us not to make any idols, anything physical that would be a reminder of God, in front of whom we would worship. God wants us to know Him as God and not worship anything or anyone else.

We may not bow down to worship anything or anyone outwardly today, but there may be some idols in our heart that take the place of the Lord Jesus in us. If there’s anything in us or outside of us that is our goal, that is an idol, and that replaces God, we may lose the position to enjoy the jubilee.

When the people of Israel worshipped idols and went after foreign gods, God would deliver them into the hands of their enemies, for they forsook God; thus, they lost the enjoyment of the good land.

If we have idols, that is, if there are things, persons, or matters in us that we spend more time with than with God, if we have another goal besides God Himself, then we may also lose our position to enjoy the jubilee.

Through regeneration we have been brought into the jubilee, and we can daily enjoy the jubilee in spirit and with the saints, being delivered from the usurpation and slavery of Satan and being returned to God as our inheritance.

But if we have another goal besides God Himself, if we allow things, persons, or matters to have preeminence in our being, we may lose the enjoyment of the all-inclusive Christ as the reality of the good land. This is why we need to know who our God is, what He has done, and what is the result of His work.

Our God is a processed and consummated Triune God who today is the Spirit, and this Spirit includes all the wonderful things He went through – His divinity, His humanity, His incarnation, His human living, His death, His resurrection, and His accession.

All these have been added, compounded together, into what the Bible calls, the Spirit. Today God is the Spirit, a life-giving, all-inclusive, compound Spirit to be our everything.

When we just call on the name of the Lord and exercise our spirit to touch Him, we receive more of the Spirit, and the Spirit spreads into our inner being. Our God is processed and consummated in His economy to become a life-giving Spirit who now is one with our spirit. Hallelujah!

The New Testament Reveals that Our God is the Processed and Consummated Triune God

The New Testament reveals that our God is the processed and consummated Triune God, the One who has passed through the processes of incarnation, human living, crucifixion, and resurrection.

In John 1:1, 14 we see that in the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God, and the word became flesh and tabernacled among us, full of grace and reality.

On the one hand our God is objectively God, self-existing, ever-existing, unchanging, and immutable, and we honor and worship God as such a One. But the New Testament shows us that, in His economy God has become flesh, and then later in His resurrection He has become a life-giving Spirit.

In His economy God has become a God to us in a more experiential way by passing through a costly process to be consummated as the Spirit.

Throughout the first four thousand years of humanity, the Spirit of God has never changed, but once God became a man, there was a process that God went through, and the consummation is the Spirit.

To say that the Spirit has never changed is a big mistake, because the Bible clearly says that God became man, and the last Adam became a life-giving Spirit.

We could say that God was a “raw God” in eternity past, but when He stepped in time in His economy, He began to be “processed”; He was processed through incarnation, human living, crucifixion, and resurrection.

Now our God is not just the almighty Creator but even more: he is the consummated and completed Triune God with divinity, humanity, human living, the all-inclusive death, the powerful resurrection, and the transcendent ascension.

The fact that God is processed refers to the steps through which the Triune God has passed in the divine economy; the fact that God is consummated indicates that the process has been completed (see John 1:14; 2:22; 7:39; Gal. 3:14).

Although God is eternal and unchanging in His nature and substance, the New Testament tells us that He has passed through a process in His economy (see John 1:14; 1 Cor. 15:45).

The twofoldness of the divine truth is clearly seen here: in His Godhead God is immutable and unchanging, and He dwells in unapproachable light; however, in His economy, God passed through a process and was consummated as the Spirit.

On one hand God is sovereign and unchanging, and no one can approach Him for He dwells in unapproachable light; on the other hand, He has an economy – He came in the Son (who is the light of the world and the light of life), and He passed through a process to become the Spirit.

Now God in Christ as the Spirit is as breath and as living water to enter into us; this is the God we know, experience, enjoy, serve, and minister. Whenever the Three of the Godhead are mentioned in the New Testament, it is always related to our experience and not for our theological exploration.

Before His incarnation God was unprocessed, having only the divine nature; but through incarnation, human living, crucifixion, and resurrection, the Triune God was processed and consummated to become the Spirit (John 7:39). Hallelujah!

Now whenever we call on the name of the Lord, we get the Spirit as our supply and our everything!

Thank You God for going through a process in Your economy to be consummated as the life-giving Spirit! Hallelujah, our God is processed and consummated to be our all as the Spirit! The Triune God has now become our all – how wonderful, how glorious! We now have the processed and consummated Triune God as our life and life supply in everything! Lord, You are our goal. You are the air that we breathe. We open to You, Lord, and we just take You in. Thank You for being processed and consummated to be received and experienced by us!

The Consummation of the Processed Triune God is the Spirit – the All-Inclusive Spirit!

The consummation of the processed Triune God is the Spirit. In the first few verses in Genesis we are told that the Spirit of God was brooding over the waters, so the Spirit as the Spirit of God was there from the very beginning.

However, after God became man and went through a process, the consummation of this process is the Spirit.

This Spirit was not yet at the time of the Lord’s incarnation; He spoke of it in John 7:37-39, but this Spirit came into being or was consummated only after the Lord resurrected. The Spirit is the consummation of the processed Triune God (Gal. 3:2, 5, 14; 5:5, 16, 18, 25; 6:8).

We all need to receive a vision of the Spirit – the compound of the Triune God, the man Jesus, His human living, His death, and His resurrection (see John 7:39; Acts 16:7; Rom. 8:9-11; Phil. 1:19; Gal. 3:14).

We may first understand the process that God went through in His economy, but as the Lord’s light shines on us, we will have a vision of the Spirit! Everything of God and of Christ is in the Spirit, including His divine attributes and His human virtues.

This One knew how to be with people; He knew how to have compassion on the weak and the sick ones, He knew how to be in every situation, and He knew when to speak, what to speak, how to speak, and when to be quiet.

Christ knew how to shepherd the children of Israel, He knew what to say to the sinful woman at the well, He knew how to not condemn or criticize, He knew what to say to Nicodemus, and He spoke in a different way to the religious ones.

The reality of this One is in the Spirit, and the Spirit is joined to our spirit. We simply need to live one spirit with Him day by day.

If we were to give a definition of the Spirit, the Spirit is the processed, compound, all-inclusive, life-giving, indwelling, sevenfold intensified, consummated Spirit as the ultimate consummation of the processed Triune God to be the eternal portion of His chosen, redeemed, regenerated, renewed, transformed, conformed, and glorified tripartite people as their life, life supply, and everything. Hallelujah!

In the beginning the Spirit of God was there (Gen. 1:2), but the Spirit as “the Spirit of Christ” (Rom. 8:9), “the Spirit of Jesus Christ” (Phil. 1:19), was “not yet” at the time of John 7:39, because He was not yet glorified.

After the Lord’s resurrection, that is, after He has been glorified, the Spirit of God became the Spirit of the incarnated, crucified, and resurrected Jesus Christ; now the Bible calls this, The Spirit. Both the apostle John and the apostle Paul referred to the Spirit, and we today have the Spirit with our spirit!

When we call on His name, Lord Jesus! the Spirit responds to us; He flows in us, and even though we may have no idea what we need, this all-inclusive, life-giving, compound Spirit applies to us what He knows that we need.

We need to pray simple prayers and just open to Him, telling Him,

Lord Jesus, we open to You. We just want to see You as the Spirit, the consummation of the processed Triune God. Thank You Lord Jesus for coming into us as the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit to supply us with everything necessary to live the Christian life and the church life. Lord, we want to breathe You in as the Spirit! We want to enjoy You and experience You as the Spirit. Remind us to call on Your name and breathe You in all the time. Oh Lord Jesus! We don’t know what we need, we don’t know what’s the next step, but we call on Your name! Oh Lord Jesus!
