What is the Body of Christ? According to 1 Cor. 12:12-13, the Body of Christ is the corporate Christ, Christ the Head with Christ the Body, and the way we are part of this Body is by drinking the Spirit to be constituted with the element of Christ. How wonderful it is to see a […]
We’re Being made Christ for the Body of Christ to Live Christ and Express Him Together

Hallelujah for the Body of Christ, the continuation and extension of Christ on the earth today! Christ is […]
Being Encamped in Array in God’s Sovereignty with Christ and the Church as our Center
In Numbers two we see how the children of Israel were encamped in array as an army, each tribe by its own standard, all facing the center. After the numbering in ch. 1, the children of Israel were put in an array around the tabernacle – this is God’s first step of formation of the […]
Paying the Price to have the Upper-Room Consecration to follow the Heavenly Vision
For us to be in the continuation of the book of Acts, we need to continue to live in the divine history by having an upper-room consecration, being willing to pay the price and be “married” to the heavenly vision of Christ and the church. If we read the book of Acts we will realise […]
We’re Washed and Anointed by the Spirit for our Consecration for the Priesthood
It is very enlightening to see in Lev. 8 the details of the consecration for the priesthood for Aaron and his sons, and to realise that these details are actually a type of what happens with us as we consecrate to the Lord to be priests. We are a holy nation, a royal priesthood, a […]

God Desires to have Christ and the Church for His Expression and Dominion on Earth
![The third step of God’s procedure in fulfilling His purpose was to work Himself into man to make man His complement. Adam here [in Genesis 2:18] typifies God in Christ as the real, universal Husband, who is seeking a wife for Himself (Rom. 5:14; cf. Isa. 54:5; John 3:29; 2 Cor. 11:2; Eph. 5:31-32; Rev. 19:7; 21:9). Adam’s need for a wife typifies and portrays God’s need, in His economy, to have a wife as His complement.

In Genesis 2 we see a picture of Christ and the church in the types of Adam and Eve; God wants not only Christ (as typified by Adam) but also the church – God wants Christ and the church. Christ is the mystery of God, He is the explanation and expression of God, and He […]
