Divine Life is in our Mingled Spirit: we need to Release our Spirit to Minister life

The life that we supply to others is in the Spirit, the Spirit is mingled with our spirit, and the life of God is located, abides, and grows in the mingled spirit (1 Cor. 15:45b; 6:17; Rom. 8:4). If we would supply the saints with life, we must release our spirit, for the divine life is in our mingled spirit. Witness Lee

As believers in Christ and children of God, we have the eternal life of God in our mingled spirit: now we can experience life and minister life to other members of the Body of Christ. The divine life we have received through regeneration is the … [Continue reading]

Our Service in the Church should Minister Life to Others to Supply them with Life

The church service is to supply life, for it is a service of life. If we merely handle business affairs or manage matters but do not supply others with the life of God, our service is a failure and is vain. No matter what our service may be, we should be clear that our service is a means to supply life to others (1 John 5:16; 2 Cor. 4:12). Witness Lee

Our service for the building up of the church is a life-ministering service, a service that ministers life to the saints. We have seen that we need to serve God by knowing the age, by realizing the way Christ fulfills His economy, by seeing the … [Continue reading]

Being Joined to God’s desire through His Word to Pray Prayers of God’s Economy

Daniel was a man of prayer who was joined to God’s desire through God’s word; only those who join themselves to God’s word to pray prayers of God’s economy can be of real use to God. Witness Lee

The best cooperation and service we can render to God is in prayer; we need to be joined to God's desire and pray prayers initiated by God to echo what He is praying in the heavens. There are a few verses in the New Testament where there Lord is … [Continue reading]

Being and Praying for the Overcomers who are One with God to Cooperate with His Move

God could motivate Hannah as a person who was one with Him on the line of life; the line of life is a line that brings forth Christ for the enjoyment of God’s people, that on earth God may have His kingdom, which is the church as the Body of Christ, the very organism of the Triune God. Witness Lee

God can do much more through our prayer than through our work and words; we need to be the overcomers of today who serve God by praying according to His heart and will. In this universe, there's the divine will, the satanic will, and the human will; … [Continue reading]

God needs Man to Exercise his Spirit and his Will to Pray according to God’s Will

When we bring our desires and thoughts to God, He will imprint His desires and thoughts into us to the extent that they become our desires and thoughts. These prayers are the most precious of all prayers; they are the most weighty prayers. Watchman Nee

Our service to God as priests is by prayer, and this prayer needs to be according to His heart and will; to have such a prayer, we need to allow the Spirit to mingle our desires with His desires, lead our thoughts into His thoughts, and imprint His … [Continue reading]
