Enjoy the Fellowship of the Spirit, the Circulation of the Divine Trinity in our Spirit

As we seek to enjoy and experience the Divine Trinity in full, we realize that the love of God the Father is expressed in the grace of Christ the Son, and the grace is in the fellowship of God the Spirit to be transmitted into us; there is a divine circulation of the Divine Trinity going on in us, and we can enjoy this divine transmission. Hallelujah!

Both Matt. 28:19 and 2 Cor. 13:14 mention the three of the Divine Trinity not in the way of explaining to us the doctrine of the Triune God but in the way of experience.

Our God is the Father, the Son, and the Spirit; He is three yet one – He is triune; God is triune not to complicate us or confuse us, neither is He triune so that we may try to understand how this works – He is triune for dispensing and enjoyment.

God is triune so that He would reach man; God the Father is the source, the unapproachable light, but He is embodied in Christ the Son, who came to express and manifest Him, and the Spirit is the reaching out and flow of God the Father with God the Son.

The Father has an eternal purpose, a heart’s desire, and an intention; based on His intention and heart’s desire, He sent the Son and came as the Son and with the Son, and the Son accomplished God’s purpose on earth and carries out His economy in His ascension.

Christ came with the Father and did everything by the Spirit, and He went through death and entered into resurrection to become a life-giving Spirit.

Now the Spirit is the consummation of all the processes of the Triune God, and the Spirit flows out all that God is, has, and has accomplished.

When we repent and believe into the Lord, we receive the Spirit, and the Spirit brings the Son and the Father in us; we have both the Father and the Son and the Spirit in us, and by being in Christ we are in the Spirit and in the Father.

What God desires is to make us one with Him, mingle Himself with us, and even be incorporated with us so that we live in Him and He lives in us, with no distinction.

For this, He is triune; He is triune so that He can dispense Himself into us and cause us to be filled with all that He is to express Him corporately.

As we focus on 2 Cor. 13:14 we need to have God’s intention in mind; in His desire to dispense Himself into us, God is the source as love, Christ is the embodiment and expression of the Father as grace, and the Spirit is the transmission and flow of the love of God with the grace of Christ to reach us as fellowship.

And all this is for our experience and enjoyment.

As we pray over this verse and contact the Lord, thanking Him for being the love as the source, the grace as the course, and the fellowship as the flow, we enjoy the divine circulation of the Divine Trinity into our being, and we will also flow Him out to others for their enjoyment.

The Love of God is expressed in the Grace of Christ and the Grace is Transmitted by the Fellowship of the Spirit

The love of God the Father is expressed in the grace of Christ the Son; the grace of Christ the Son is in the fellowship of the Spirit to be transmitted into us, and we enjoy the divine circulation of the Divine Trinity in our being.

God the Father loved the world so much that He sent His only begotten Son (John 3:16), and when Christ came, grace came, for He was the embodiment of grace (John 1:16-17).

The Spirit is the flow, the fellowship of the grace of Christ with the love of God to reach us and transmit all that God is into our being.

Love is the hidden source; God is love, and He is the source as love, but we can’t touch or see God unless Christ comes as grace to express Him, embody Him, and manifest Him.

When the love of God is expressed, it becomes the grace of Christ; Christ came as grace to us, and if we trace grace back to its source, we see the love of God.

Grace is the expression of love, and love is the source of grace; Christ is the expression of God, and God is the source of Christ.

In Himself, God is love; when He comes to reach us, He is embodied in Christ as grace.

When we read the Gospels we see the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ; in all He did and spoke, He manifested God, and of His fulness we have all received, even grace upon grace.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is in the fellowship of the Spirit to be transmitted to the believers in Christ.

We can enjoy grace simply by exercising our spirit to enjoy the transmission of the Holy Spirit.

The love of God has been poured out in our heart through the Holy Spirit, and we enjoy the grace of Christ by means of the transmission of the Spirit with our spirit.

The Spirit is the reality of all that God is in His love and all that Christ is and has done in His grace; when we turn to our spirit, we enjoy God’s love and Christ’s grace being transmitted into us.

This is quite mysterious yet so real and marvelous, for in His Trinity God is flowing out to reach us as the Spirit, and the fellowship of the Spirit transmits the grace of Christ with the love of God the Father.

For us to enjoy the grace of Christ, we need to be in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit; as we enjoy the grace of Christ in the fellowship of the Spirit, we spontaneously taste the love of God.

As we enjoy the grace of Christ, we are not only inwardly supplied with all we need to live Christ and express Him, but our enjoyment of grace in abundance causes grace to reign in us, and we reign in life (Rom. 5:17, 21).

Where sin abounds, grace superabounds; in order to receive grace, we need to be in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah!

We need to be one spirit with the Lord, which we are, in order to receive the divine transmission of the grace of Christ and the love of God for our full enjoyment and experience of the Divine Trinity.

God is love; He is not a doctrine or a concept, but love itself. When we are in the fellowship of the Spirit, we taste God as love and we enjoy Christ as grace. His love is perfected in us and we live by the grace of Christ.

We love all men without any partiality and we speak words full of grace, for we remain in the fellowship of the Spirit to constantly receive the divine transmission of the love of God with the grace of Christ.

Lord Jesus, we exercise our spirit to be one spirit with You so that we may remain in the fellowship of the Spirit to enjoy the love of God and the grace of Christ. Hallelujah, the love of God is expressed in the grace of Christ, and the grace of Christ is in the fellowship of the Spirit to be transmitted to us. Amen, Lord, keep us receiving the divine transmission, the fellowship of the Spirit, to enjoy all that God is as love and all that Christ is and has as grace. We want to taste the love of God and enjoy the grace of Christ so that we may be perfected in His love and do all things by grace. Amen, Lord, may Your love be perfected in us and may grace be manifested through us as we remain in the fellowship of the Spirit in our daily life!

Enjoy the Circulation of the Divine Trinity in our Spirit, the Fellowship of the Spirit bringing us the Love of God and the Grace of Christ

Whenever the Bible mentions the Divine Trinity, it is always in the way of dispensing, of flowing out to reach man and bring man into the enjoyment of the circulation of the Divine Trinity.

In 2 Cor. 13:14 we see the circulation of the Divine Trinity in our being. Just as there is a circulation of blood in our physical body that brings all the nutrients to the different parts of our being, so there is a circulation of the Divine Trinity in our spiritual being to bring all that God is to us for our enjoyment.

With the Divine Trinity, there is the source (God the Father as love), the course (Christ the Son as grace), and the flow (the Spirit as the fellowship).

The source, the fountain, is the love of the Father; out of His love springs out and comes out the grace of the Son to express and convey God to us.

The grace of Christ comes out of the source of the love of the Father, and this grace is transmitted to us to flow into us by the fellowship of the Spirit.

The flow of the love of God with the grace of Christ is the fellowship, the communication, the transmission, the circulation of the Divine Trinity.

Hallelujah, when we believe into the Lord we were “plugged into” the divine circulation of the Divine Trinity, and there’s a circulation of the Divine Trinity in our being going on in us all the time!

We have two circulations within us: one physical (the circulation of blood) and one spiritual (the circulation of the Divine Trinity).

Without the circulation of blood in our body, we will die physically; without the proper circulation of the Divine Trinity in our spiritual being, we die spiritually.

2 Cor. 13:14 gives us a detailed description of this inner, spiritual circulation. Such a circulation can be likened to the current of electricity which supplies power to an entire city.

When the electricity stops, the life of that city stops; if the electrical power stops flowing in a city, the life of that city is on hold.

Similarly, if there is any blockage in our being and the circulation of the Divine Trinity is stopped, our spiritual life is on hold, it is stinted and stopped. Oh, Lord!

Our entire church life and Christian life depends upon 2 Cor. 13:14, on our enjoyment of the circulation of the Divine Trinity into our being!

Many times we come to the meeting feeling down because this circulation was interrupted in our being, but when we open to the Lord even a little bit, the circulation starts again, for the hindrances are removed. Amen!

We may simply listen to a message or to some hymns and our heart turns to the Lord, and the circulation of the Divine Trinity is taking place in our being, bringing us the love of God with the grace of Christ by the fellowship of the Spirit.

When we speak to others, for example, we may just share something of the Christ we have enjoyed, and we feel there’s a flow of the Spirit, for we cooperate with the circulation of the Divine Trinity to flow out God into others.

As we listen to the speaking of the saints in the meeting, we need to exercise our spirit to enjoy the circulation of the Divine Trinity in our being, and we need to also exercise our will to stand and speak for the Lord, thus flowing Him out to others.

We need to speak in the flow and listen in the flow; the flow of life, the flow of the Triune God in our being, needs to have the preeminence in us.

If there’s anything that hinders this flow, we simply need to repent and deal with it, and the flow is restored.

We need to enjoy the circulation of the Divine Trinity in our being to be prepared to be the bride of Christ and enter the wedding feast to enjoy Him even more!

Thank You, Lord, for coming into us as the flow of the Divine Trinity, the reaching out of the Triune God in our spirit. Hallelujah, we have the circulation of the Divine Trinity in our spirit, and we can remain in the flow of life day by day to enjoy all the Father is in His love and all the Son is and has in His grace by means of the fellowship of the Spirit. Keep us in this flow of life today, Lord. May nothing hinder the flow of life in our being. We treasure the flow of life and we want to give this flow the preeminence today. Amen, Lord, our Christian life and church life depends on the circulation of the Divine Trinity in our being! Keep us enjoying the love of the Father, the grace of the Son, and the fellowship of the Spirit as the current within our spirit!
