What is grace? Is it just unmerited favour? According to the Bible, grace is God coming to visit us, remain with us, dwell with us, and be everything to us for our enjoyment. Grace is the circulating Triune God flowing in us and dispensing all He is into us for our enjoyment. Hallelujah! And this […]
Being in Ecstasy before God by having a Sufficient Enjoyment of Christ as the Jubilee
The entire New Testament age is an age of ecstasy, and we as Christians are persons in ecstasy, for when we have a sufficient enjoyment of God and love Him we are in ecstasy before God. Wow!

Drinking of God as the River of Water of Life for God to Fulfill His Purpose
God’s purpose is to have a corporate man to express Him with His image and represent Him with His dominion, and the way He is accomplishes His purpose is by His life. First, God in Christ is the tree of life for man to take in God, enjoy God, partake of God, and be filled […]
Being Filled with God, Cooperating with God, and Being Perfected to do God’s Will
The word of God has been completed in its written form in the Bible, but what about our personal experience? Has the word of God been completed in our life? Do we have the central vision of the completing ministry of Paul governing us and restricting us? In Paul’s writings in the New Testament we […]
enjoying the many positive functions of the law as the word of God (Psalm 119)
When we read Psalm 119 carefully we realize how much the psalmist loved the word of God, the law, the precepts, the ordinances, and the commandments. Yes, on the one hand, the law of God / the word of God exposes us of our sin and preserves us unto Christ, but on the other hand, […]

Life is the way to fulfill God’s purpose; the Lord’s recovery is a recovery of truth and life
If we lose the truth and life in the Word of God we lose everything, and all is left is what Christianity has in general today: human organization, methods, good teachings, outward things, a social gathering, and a feel-good gospel. But we need to see that today the Lord’s recovery is a recovery of the truth and life! This is what the Lord desires – He wants the church to know Him as truth and receive Him as life! The content of the church should be the increase and the growth of Christ in us as truth and life.
