the experience of the cross deepens both our horizontal and our vertical fellowship in the divine life

These days we are enjoying many portions in the Bible regarding the fellowship of the divine life, which is the fellowship of the Spirit, the fellowship of the apostles, and the fellowship in spirit.

We abide in Christ as the vine, we are rooted in Him as the soil, and we take Christ as the Head!

The Word of God is so rich, so full of illustrations and examples of our organic union with the Lord, and also it is so encouraging! This morning I especially enjoyed these three aspects concerning our relationship with the Lord: In John 15 we see that we are branches in Christ the vine – we […]

The Key to Experiencing Christ is our mingled spirit, and the best way to enjoy Him is to call on His name

The God whom we serve and love is a God who hides Himself and operates in secret

No, we cannot see God, we cannot touch Him – we cannot physically see or touch Him. Yet just like Peter says, though we have never seen Him, we love Him! I was so impressed regarding this matter this morning as I was enjoying the Lord in the morning revival on the Crystallization-study of Isaiah […]
