Live a Life by faith to Spread the Divine Truths and Trust in the Lord to meet our needs

We need to be before the Lord concerning His move on earth; if He leads us in the way of migration, we need to live a life by faith, serving the Lord and trusting in the Lord for our necessity, spreading the high truths to the hungry ones, and receiving the Lord’s supply through the saints and the churches.

What a privilege it is for us to hear the Lord’s call and serve Him!

We may not be called to serve Him with our full time, dropping our job, but we all are called to serve Him full-time, whether we have a job or drop our job.

We are exhorted both by the Lord Jesus and by the apostle Paul to offer ourselves, our whole being, with our spirit, soul, and body, to serve the Lord.

As we live at the end of this age, seeing that the Lord is very near, we need to realize that there’s a great need for the high peak truths in the word of God to be spread to the entire earth as the gospel of the kingdom as a testimony to all the nations.

So we need to be in the truth, be constituted with the truth, love the truth, and be faithful to the Lord to speak the truth to others so that Christ may be ministered to others.

The Lord wants to spread the recovered truths, the truths He has unveiled to us in His recovery, to all the nations on earth, and especially in Europe.

We thank and praise the Lord for what He has been doing for the past century in the USA and in the countries in Asia, and we thank Him that He has brought the ministry to Europe.

As those who live in Europe, we need to realize that this is what will become the land of Antichrist; before the Lord’s return, He wants to gain many more lampstands in Europe.

The hunger for the truth is great, and we need to be faithful to be in the truth, speak the truth, and propagate the truth to the whole inhabited earth, especially in Europe.

The Lord’s move today is in Europe, in country after country; He wants to move not only in an outward way but especially inwardly, that is, He wants to spread in man’s heart.

We are not here for a movement or an outward move; movements are of men and will not last, but the Lord’s move is from Genesis and consummates in the book of Revelation.

He is moving, and we are one with Him. That’s all we need to do – be one with Him in His move, so that He may bring the truth through us to all the inhabited earth.

As we spend time in the word of God and enjoy Him by praying over the word, as we read the footnotes in the Recovery Version Bible and read the life-studies and the ministry books, we are filled with the truth.

This causes us to have a reaction: we want others to also enjoy these truths so that they may continue to be saved in His life. Amen!

Taking the way of Emigration to Spread the Divine Truths, Live a Life by Faith, and Trust in the Lord

As believers in Christ, we cannot rely on some “qualified” and “trained” ones to function, while we just watch; we all are called to enjoy the Lord, partake of Him, be constituted with the truth, and give food to others at the proper time.

Especially as we see the great need in Europe, where truth is becoming something “relative” and people don’t stand for the truth but for a lie, we need to give ourselves to the Lord for His move.

The Lord wants the truth to spread and fill the whole earth.

Some need to go to Europe and meet the real need of the seeking ones by speaking the divine truths from the holy Word of God.

We shouldn’t go in a way of movement but in the way of the Lord’s move, in the way of migration.

People in Europe are warm and open, and they need the truth; they see so much fake news, so many lies, and they are yearning for the truth to reach them.

Especially the young people, they stay away from the news because they know people lie; they go to universities to seek the truth, but the truth is not there.

We need to take the way of emigration to spread the divine truths in the way of serving the Lord full-time.

Some can take a job, some can start a business, and some can go to school to study; whatever we do when we emigrate, we serve the Lord.

We may study in school, do a business, serve full-time, or take a job – whatever we do when we emigrate for the Lord’s move, we serve the Lord.

And our service to the Lord is by trusting in Him; we live a life by faith, trusting in the Lord for our necessities.

If the Lord calls us to serve Him full time or take a job in the way of emigration to Europe, we should not worry about what should we eat or drink; rather, we should remain in the fellowship of the Body and in fellowship with the Lord, and we should live a life of faith, trusting in the Lord.

The Lord will take care of us when we serve Him.

We shouldn’t have the thought that, as we serve Him, we will have a prosperous life in material things; the Lord is not calling us to live an outwardly prosperous life – He calls us to serve Him and depend on Him.

We need to simply live a life by faith, trusting in the Lord, and be prepared to suffer.

The Lord may allow us to suffer poverty, so we should not be discouraged or dismayed if we need to serve Him in poverty.

Our life is by faith, our living is to the Lord, and our service is by trusting in Him; He may allow us to suffer lack, but He will never leave us or forsake us.

Rather, if we feel led and burdened by the Lord to serve Him full-time or by taking a job in the way of emigration to Europe, we should simply not worry about our necessities but trust in the Lord and live a life by faith. Amen!

Some may think that, if they suffer poverty as they serve the Lord, the Lord is not with them, and the Lord didn’t call them; this, however, is the lie of the enemy, for it simply is not true.

The fact that those who serve the Lord by trusting in Him and living a life by faith suffer poverty is not a sign that they have not been chosen and called by Him.

If we look at Paul the Apostle, we see that, though he was sorrowful, he always rejoiced; though he was poor, he enriched many; though he had nothing, he possessed all things (2 Cor. 6:10).

At one point he even had to go back to making tents to support himself and those who served with him, ministering to his needs and to the needs of his co-workers, for the saints and the churches he raised up did not adequately support him (Acts 18:3).

Though he had to do this, he never doubted the Lord’s calling; rather, he ministered to his needs and to the needs of his co-workers (20:34).

May we learn to answer God’s call and take the way of emigration by faith, trusting in the Lord for all our necessities, for He who calls us, He will also take care of us.

Lord Jesus, we want to take the way of trusting in You for all our necessities as we serve You to spread the divine truths where You have placed us. Amen, Lord, we want to live a life by faith, trusting in the Lord for our necessities and receiving the Lord’s supply through the saints and the churches. We cast all our cares upon You, Lord, and we arm ourselves with a mind to suffer, even as the Lord and the apostles suffered. We do not desire to live a prosperous life outwardly – we simply want to serve You and hasten Your return by spreading the divine truths in Europe for Your testimony to be strengthened and shine bright! Amen, Lord, we look to You concerning all our needs, and we give ourselves to serve You in the Body!

The Lord is Faithful in His Body to meet all our needs when we follow Him to serve Him

Many believers in Christ throughout the ages can testify that the Lord was faithful to meet all their needs when they followed Him and His calling to serve Him.

The apostle Paul, who wrote fourteen out of the twenty-seven books of the New Testament, was greatly used by the Lord, and he was set as a pattern to the believers (1 Tim. 1:16).

He testified in Phil. 4:12 that he has learned the secret both to be filled and to hunger, both to abound and to lack; he knew how to be abased, and he knew how to abound.

At certain times, he abounded, but at other times, he had a lack; he never doubted the Lord’s calling but rather, he learned the secret of sufficiency, for he knew that God will supply all his needs.

We need to learn the secret of being humbled, in lowly circumstances, and how to live in abundance; in every matter and in all matters, in all the things in the course of human life, we need to learn the secret of serving the Lord.

We need to realize that, though outwardly we may experience lack and even poverty, the Lord is faithful to meet all our needs when we follow Him and His calling to serve Him.

We simply need to live a life by faith, trusting in the Lord and the Body for our needs.

We need to be initiated in this secret of trusting in the Lord and not in what we can do; we need to learn the secret of taking Christ as our life, living Christ, magnifying Christ, gaining Christ, and living the church life.

The Lord may call us to take the way of emigration and emigrate to Europe for the Lord’s move; our trust should not be in what we can do to support ourselves or even in the churches that are supporting us – our trust is in the Lord.

If we have the money, we should learn to save some for others and for the needs of the churches; we should use only what we require for our necessities, and give the rest to the Lord and to His need.

Serving the Lord in this way is glorious, for He has called us, He sent us, and He will surely take care of us.

He has a way to supply us for all our needs; He does it through the saints and the churches, our trust is in Him, for He is faithful to meet all our needs.

When we serve the Lord, we shouldn’t have the thought that “we’re employed by Him”; if the church in our locality is sending us and supporting us, we shouldn’t think that the church “hired us”.

We do not receive “wages” as we serve the Lord; rather, we serve the Lord, live a life by faith, trust in Him, and rely on the Body, and He supplies us through the church.

As we trust in the Lord in our service to Him according to His calling and the confirmation in the Body, He doesn’t supply us directly; He uses the members of His Body (the saints) and the churches who cooperate with Him in supplying us.

We live in the age of the church, the Body of Christ; our trust is not in some large donors or sponsors, and we rely not on others’ pity or mercy – we trust in the Lord, and He supplies us in the Body and through the Body.

This is a very real way to experience Christ and to know the Body, for we truly rely not on what we can do, what we know, or what we earn, but on the Lord and His Body.

We may experience lack, but our trust is in the Lord who called us and who is faithful to meet all our needs, and we live a life by faith serving the Lord.

Dear Lord, what a privilege it is to give ourselves to serve You in the Body. We trust in You, Lord, to meet all our needs. We believe that You are faithful to meet all our needs when we follow You and Your calling. Hallelujah, all believers in Christ have the privilege to serve the Lord in the gospel of the kingdom so that the truth will fill the whole earth for a testimony, and then the end will come! Amen, Lord, we give ourselves to You to serve in the Body. We want to learn the secret of enjoying Christ, experiencing Christ, and serving Christ in spirit and in the Body. We look to You and we trust that You will supply us through the saints and the churches. Hallelujah!
