Crystallization-Study of Genesis (1)

After almost 40 years from the time brother Witness Lee gave the Life-study of Genesis, we are now enjoying the crystallization-study of Genesis (1) and seeing in a fresh way what God’s intention in the Bible (and especially in Genesis) is. God has a purpose, and the way He accomplishes His purpose is by His life.

The collection of links below are inspired from the Holy Word for Morning Revival on the Crystallization-Study of Genesis (see vol. 1 and vol. 2 via Living Stream Ministry), and they are the result of a labor of love over the footnotes, the ministry books, the life-studies, and the fresh speaking of the Lord through the blended brothers in the messages released in the 2013 winter training.
