We live in the Divine Trinity by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ in our spirit; as we turn to our spirit, we touch the throne of grace, we enthrone the Lord, and we enjoy grace with our spirit, and in this way, we live in the Divine Trinity.
Living in the Divine Trinity is an all-encompassing matter; it involves our abiding in the Lord as branches in the vine, our enjoyment of Christ as our life supply, our living Christ for His magnification, and our enjoying grace. Hallelujah!
As believers in Christ, we need to enjoy the Lord day by day; our Christian life should be a life of living Christ by the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ with our spirit.
The more we enjoy the Lord, the more we taste Him as grace in our spirit, the more we are inwardly supplied and enabled to live the Christian life, thus living Christ.
First, we have the life and life supply, and then we live Christ for His magnification. How can we, human beings, magnify Christ and express God?
The more we try to do this in ourselves, the more we fail, for at best we can express ourselves according to our self-likeness.
We need to enjoy the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ in the situation we’re in so that we may be inwardly supplied, nourished, and strengthened; then, we can magnify Christ.
From the beginning of our Christian life, God has been supplying us in Christ with the life-giving Spirit as a bountiful supply not only to meet our needs and nourish us but even more, for us to live Christ for His magnification.
Instead of trying to do this or that, instead of trying and struggling to live a life according to what the Bible tells us to do, we simply need to call on the name of the Lord so that we may contact Him.
Our Christian life should be a life in continual contact with the Lord.
The more we contact Him, the more we turn to Him, the more we will live not in and by ourselves but in the spirit and by the spirit.
But when we’re out of touch with the Lord, when we just try to do what He tells us to do, we will fail – even miserably fail. May we not live the Christian life without being supplied by the Spirit!
May we learn to eat the Lord, drink the Lord, and breathe Him in, so that the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ would enable us to live Christ for His magnification!
May we be quick turners, that is, those who quickly turn to the Lord to enjoy Him and remain in the organic union with Him, for it is by our living in this organic union that we can live Christ to magnify Him, to make Him be enlarged before all!
We Live in the Divine Trinity by the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ in our Spirit
How can we live in the Divine Trinity today? It is by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ in our spirit.
Gal. 6:18 says, The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
Grace is with our spirit; grace is in our spirit today.
Grace is not merely something that God does for us or in us; grace is not merely something God gives us, something like a blessing or something outward. Grace is nothing but God in Christ to be our enjoyment in our spirit.
Grace is the resurrected Christ (Christ as the Spirit) to be our enjoyment and our everything. It is by grace that we experience the resurrected Christ, who is the embodiment of the Divine Trinity.
Day by day there’s a marvellous transmission taking place – God is supplying the Spirit of grace bountifully, and we should exercise our spirit to receive the Spirit of grace continually (Heb. 10:29b; John 1:16; Gal. 3:2-5; 2 Cor. 1:12; 12:9).
He is bountifully supplying us with the Spirit of grace; there’s a dispensing going on non-stop, continually, from the throne of grace in our spirit, and we just need to receive and enjoy grace.
As we receive and enjoy the Spirit of grace, the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is with our spirit, and He becomes our constituent for us to become His expression.
The Lord wants us to be His expression, but this expression comes through grace; we need to be under the supply of grace every day.
When Christ came, grace came; the law was given through Moses, but grace came through Jesus Christ.
When we receive Christ, we receive grace upon grace; grace upon grace is now in our spirit, for grace as a river is flowing whenever we turn to our spirit.
The way to receive and enjoy grace is to turn to our spirit and exercise our spirit.
The Lord is dispensing the Spirit of grace into us; the Spirit of grace means that the Spirit is grace.
The grace of the Lord Jesus is with our spirit, but it is up to us if we enjoy grace in our daily living.
Unless we press the switch, the lights do not come on, for there needs to be a conscious switching in order for the flow of electricity to power up the lights.
Similarly, the divine electricity – the divine grace – can be applied to us only by turning to our spirit.
When we turn to our spirit, we contact the moving, anointing Spirit in our spirit.
But if we only exercise our mind to understand, our emotion to love, or our will to choose, we cannot receive more of the Spirit.
May we turn from our mind to our spirit; may we turn from our will and emotion to our mingled spirit, exercising our spirit to enjoy the Lord.
May we come forward to the throne of grace in our spirit to enjoy God in Christ as the Spirit of grace with our spirit.
When we come forward to the Lord in our spirit, there’s a river of grace flowing from the throne, and this grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is in our spirit to cause us to live Christ and magnify Him.
May we daily choose to turn to the Lord, enthrone Him in our being, and touch the throne of grace; when we touch the throne of grace, grace as a river shall flow!
Lord Jesus, we want to live in the Divine Trinity by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ in our spirit. We open to You, Lord, and we simply receive the divine transmission of grace from the throne of grace. Hallelujah, God is supplying the Spirit of grace bountifully, and we can receive the Spirit of grace continually! Amen, Lord, we exercise our spirit and we come forward to the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace. We want to continually receive grace by turning to our spirit, exercising our spirit, and enjoying the Lord. Amen, Lord, may grace as a river flow in us and out of us as we contact You in spirit right now!
If we Enthrone the Lord Jesus, Grace Flows as a River to Supply us and Cause us to Live Christ
Heb. 4:16 says that we can come forward to the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace for timely help.
Where is the throne of grace? It is in our spirit. Grace is with our spirit (Gal. 6:18).
We can approach the throne of grace by turning to our spirit and by calling on the name of the Lord; in this way, we enthrone the Lord, and grace as a river flows.
The secret to our Christian life is turning to our spirit; when we exercise our spirit to contact the Lord, we touch the throne of grace in the heavens, for the throne of grace which is in the heavens is also in our spirit.
Our spirit is the gate of heaven, and the throne of grace is right there, in our mingled spirit.
When we call, Lord Jesus!, we immediately sense that the throne of grace is in our spirit, and we receive the flow of grace.
Sometimes, however, we want to enjoy the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ in our spirit, but we don’t want the throne; rather, we want to keep ourselves on the throne instead of enthroning the Lord. Oh, Lord!
We need to not only call on the name of the Lord to enjoy grace but also say Amen to His speaking, to His word, so that we enthrone Him in our being.
Whenever we come to the throne of grace by turning to our spirit, we need to enthrone the Lord; we need to give the Lord the headship, the kingship, and the lordship within us (Heb. 4:16; Rom. 5:17, 21; Col. 1:18b; Rev. 2:4).
The source of the flowing grace is the throne of God; if we fail to enthrone the Lord, we may enjoy some grace, but there will not be a flow of grace.
Grace flows from the throne of God; when we enthrone the Lord, there’s a river flowing (Rev. 22:1).
This river can be seen in the New Jerusalem, the river of water of life, supplying the whole city.
If we reject the Lord’s throne, if we lose the throne, the flow of grace stops.
But praise the Lord, whenever we sense there is no flow of grace in our spirit, we can repent, confess, and come back to the Lord to drink of Him, and we can enthrone Him in our being; in this way, the flow of grace is recovered.
In Rom. 5:21 it says that grace reigns, and in 5:17 we are told that we reign; when we give the flow of grace the preeminence in our being and grace reigns in us, we will reign in life.
There might be things in us or around us that are competing with the throne of grace, taking the first place of the Lord in our heart.
We need more grace until grace reigns in us; grace will empower and supply us to let go of things and give the Lord the first place in our being.
May we deal with anything that stands in the way of the pure flow of life in us; may we not let anything stand in the way of the flow of grace.
If there’s anything in us that we struggle with, if we can’t let go of certain things, we can tell the Lord about it, and He will supply us with grace to deal with those things.
If we enthrone the Lord Jesus within us, the Spirit as the river of water of life will flow out from the throne of grace to supply us; in this way, we receive grace and enjoy grace.
We can be honest with the Lord and tell Him that, even though He is not number one in all things, right now we give Him the preeminence and we enthrone Him in all things by faith.
When we enthrone Him, when we just open to Him and turn to Him and give Him the first place, grace as a river shall flow; He then accomplishes what He wants to accomplish.
Sometimes as we pray we sense that the Lord is within us, and we may not be willing to give Him the lordship; He may want to touch certain things and spread into certain areas of our being, but we resist Him.
May we learn to open to Him and ask Him to make us willing to give Him the headship and the lordship, so that the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with our spirit, and grace as a river may flow.
May we learn to honor Him as the Head, the Lord, and the King, so that we may receive the flow of grace from the throne of grace in our spirit.
A very practical way for us to turn to our spirit and stay in the spirit is to have set times of prayer; we shouldn’t just pray when we’re inspired and reminded by the Lord but have set times during the day to pray.
We may have ten minutes with the Lord in the morning, setting this time aside to open to Him and exercise our spirit.
We shouldn’t focus on the things we need to do but only on the Lord; in our time with Him, we should reject our natural mind, emotion, and will, and exercise our spirit to contact the Lord.
The more we enjoy the Lord as grace, the more we are constituted with Him, and the more we are one with Him organically.
This will constitute us to be His expression, and our living will be in the Divine Trinity.
Lord Jesus, we come forward to the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace for timely help. We exercise our spirit, dear Lord, and we enthrone You by faith in our whole being. We give You the headship and the lordship; You are the king and the Lord in us. Amen, Lord Jesus, we dethrone ourselves and we enthrone You so that we may receive and enjoy the flow of grace. Hallelujah, we can turn to our spirit and touch the throne of grace so that grace as a river may flow! May grace reign in us so that we may reign in life through grace. Oh Lord, may the Spirit as the river of water of life flow out from the throne of grace in our spirit to supply us, constitute us, and make us part of Your corporate expression!
