God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truthfulness. John 4:24
Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would remember the Lord not by meditating on Him with their mind but by contacting Him, eating Him, and drinking Him with their spirit (John 4:24; Luke 22:19-20; Hymns, #233, ss. 5-6).
Genuine remembrance of the Lord is receiving the Lord and allowing Him to enter into us again. The Lord said, “This is My body which is being given for you; do this in remembrance of Me…This cup is the new covenant established in My blood, which is being poured out for you” (Luke 22:19-20). We eat the bread, which signifies the Lord’s body, and drink the cup, which signifies the Lord’s blood. We do this in remembrance of the Lord. Our eating and drinking of the Lord is our remembrance of the Lord. The Lord does not want us to meditate on Him or contact Him with our mind; rather, the Lord wants us to contact Him, eat Him, and drink Him with our spirit. When He was broken for us on the cross, He shed His blood and released His life. The bread and cup that we touch outwardly signify His body that was given for us and His blood that was shed for us. This means that He has died, and His life has been released from within Him. Now we not only receive the visible bread and cup outwardly, but at the same time, we also touch and receive the Lord Himself in our spirit. We allow Him to come into us afresh, and again we gain Him, receive Him, and enjoy Him. The Lord said that this is to be “in remembrance of Me.” (Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1952, vol. 1, “Guidelines for the Lord’s Table Meeting and the Pursuit in Life,” ch. 1)
