God is Training us to Worship and Partake of Him through His Speaking in the Church

February 19, 2018 by aGodMan 4 Comments

In the church God is always speaking. The extent to which a congregation is the church actually and practically depends on how much of God’s speaking is there. If a certain group does not have God’s speaking, it is hard to regard such a group as a church. The preciousness of the tabernacle was not the gold in it. There was more gold in Egypt than in the tabernacle. The preciousness of the tabernacle was God’s speaking. The same is true of the church today. The preciousness of the church is God’s speaking....Praise the Lord that in the church we have God’s speaking! This speaking is a treasure to us. Witness Lee, Life-Study of Leviticus, p. 8

This week in our morning revival enjoyment we come to the first part of the Crystallization-study of Leviticus, and we focus on, God Training His People to Worship and Partake of Him and to Live a Holy, Clean, and Rejoicing Life. Through His … [Continue reading]

2 Cor. 11:10 The truthfulness of Christ is in me. 1 Cor. 16:24 My love in Christ Jesus be with you all. Phil. 1:8 For God is my witness how I long after you all in the inward parts of Christ Jesus.

Living in the Inward Parts of Christ and Realising our Equal Status in the New Man

February 16, 2018 by aGodMan 6 Comments

In the new man the members love one another in faith (Titus 3:15). The relationship is of love through faith. The apostle appreciates the fellowship of Philemon’s faith (Philem. 6) and is encouraged by his love (v. 7); thus he entreats him to receive Onesimus because of this love (v. 9). These two virtues are referred to in a combined way. Philemon has both of them, not only toward the Lord, but also toward all the saints. Witness Lee, Life-Study of Philemon, p. 2

In the church as the one new man all believers have an equal status, for they all are filled and saturated with Christ, and they love one another in faith by living in the inward parts of Christ. In Colossians we see both the definition and the … [Continue reading]

We need to Practice the Church Life with the Consciousness of the One New Man

February 15, 2018 by aGodMan 3 Comments

Col. 4:7-14 v. 7 All the things concerning me, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow slave in the Lord, will make known to you, v. 8 Whom I have sent to you for this very thing, that you might know the things concerning us and that he might comfort your hearts; v. 9 With Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you all the things here. v. 10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, as well as Mark, the cousin of Barnabas, (concerning whom you received commandments, If he comes to you, receive him), v. 11 And Jesus, who is called Justus; these alone of the circumcision are my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, ones who have become a consolation to me. v. 12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a slave of Christ Jesus, greets you, always struggling on your behalf in his prayers that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God. v. 13 For I testify of him that he labors much for you and for those in Laodicea and for those in Hierapolis. v. 14 Luke, the beloved physician, greets you, as well as Demas.

Having the Consciousness of the One New Man; in the New Man Christ is All and in All

February 14, 2018 by aGodMan 5 Comments

In the new man there is room only for Christ. He is all the members of the new man, and He is in all the members. He is everything in the new man. This means that actually He is the new man. The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 2315, by Witness Lee

In the one new man Christ is all the members and in all the members, and there is no room for any natural man in the one new man. Therefore, in our church life we need to have a consciousness of the one new man and realise that Christ is all and in … [Continue reading]

Being Saturated with Christ for the One New Man who will Usher in the Kingdom of God

February 13, 2018 by aGodMan 9 Comments

The rich, substantial Christ must actually be wrought into us organically until He replaces our natural being with Himself. This can take place only as we remain rooted in Him and absorb His riches into us. These riches will then become the substance, the element, which will saturate us organically. Then Christ will become us, and we shall become constituted of Christ. This is not only to grow with Christ, but it is also to be built up in Christ. Life-study of Colossians, p. 455, by Witness Lee

The goal of the Lord's recovery is to bring forth the one new man, for the one new man will usher in the kingdom of God and will bring Christ, the King, back to the earth. God created man in His image and likeness, and He ordained that this man … [Continue reading]

God Intends to have the Church as the One New Man to Express Him and Represent Him

February 12, 2018 by aGodMan 6 Comments

The one new man was created by Christ on the cross with two kinds of materials — the redeemed created man and the divine element; on the cross Christ put these materials together to produce a new man. In the creating of the new man, first our natural man was crucified by Christ, and then through the crossing out of the old man, Christ imparted the divine element into us, causing us to become a new entity (Rom. 6:6; 2 Cor. 5:17). The phrase in Himself in Ephesians 2:15 indicates that Christ was not only the Creator of the one new man but also the sphere in which and the essence with which the one new man was created. Witness Lee
