It is good to be brought back to God’s original intention, what He desired to do and achieve from the very beginning: He wants to dispense Himself into us as life to be our life, life-supply, and everything, so that we may express Him corporately (see Gen. 2:9; 1:26). God’s intention is the same throughout […]
Living According to the Principle of the Tree of Life, the Principle of Dependence
The Blood of Christ Brings us to God to Enjoy Him, Eat Him, Drink Him, and Serve Him
Just as Moses took the blood from the sacrifices and sprinkled it to enact the old covenant of the law, so the Lord Jesus shed His blood to enact the new covenant in His blood. The Lord Jesus was God manifested in the flesh, and in Him there was no sin, corruption, or sign of […]
Having a Daily Life of Eating and Drinking Christ as a Memorial in the New Jerusalem
It is so encouraging to know that we are becoming the NEW Jerusalem! Today we are in the process of being renewed day by day by having God’s element being wrought into us, and we will be so new that we will be called New Jerusalem (Rev. 22:1-2). In our natural man there’s nothing new, […]

The Bible doesn’t record insignificant matters and stories; rather, everything that the Bible says is true, significant, full of meaning, and has a place in God’s economy. In Gen. 21 we see that Abraham fought for the well he dug and was taken by force, and he obtained it back by redeeming it and making […]
God’s Main Concern is with our Eating and not with our Working, Doing, or Behavior
After God created man and planted the garden of Eden where He put man, the only thing Genesis tells us concerning God’s intention for man was that man would take care of his eating (see Gen. 2:17). God did not tell man to behave this way or that way, neither did He give commandments to […]
