Knowing Life and the Church – HWMR

This HWMR is based on the 2017 Memorial Day Weekend Conference held in New York City, NY, USA, and inspired from the ministry of brothers Watchman Nee and Witness Lee.

“Knowing Life and the Church” is not only based on the book with the same name by brother Lee, but it expands on it and applies it to our daily experience to meet the need in the Lord’s recovery today.

What the Lord desires to gain is a group of people who is the same as Christ and who are built up as the church, the Body of Christ, to be His corporate expression on the earth. May the Lord gain such a church!

Below you can read a compilation of enjoyment portions based on this Holy Word for Morning Revival. You can purchase the book via LSM online, LSM ebooks, amazon, google, itunes, etc, and give it a review via goodreads.

2017 Memorial Day Weekend Conference – Knowing Life and the Church – Banners

God’s eternal purpose to make His chosen and redeemed people the same as He is in life and nature for His corporate expression is fulfilled by the Triune God being life to the tripartite man.

All the beauty, power, brightness, and ability of the church come from the fact that Christ as life is her inward content; the church is the result of life, and life is the content of the church.

We must stand on the unique ground of the church, the genuine ground of oneness; we must be under the limitation of the Body of Christ, not going beyond our measure; and we must be Body-conscious in one accord for the Lord’s move in His recovery both locally and universally.

For the reality and building up of the Body of Christ, we need to live in the resurrection life of Christ under the unique headship of Christ and grow up into the Head, Christ, in all things.
