God desires to have a man on the throne with Him, ruling and reigning over the universe. For this, God Himself became a man: He brought God into man, lived a perfect human life, died on the cross, resurrected, ascended, and brought man into God! Now on the throne in the glory there is a […]
God is Working Himself into Man to Obtain His Counterpart, the New Jerusalem
The final organic aspect and the consummation of God’s work in and with man is the wife, the counterpart. The final step of God’s procedure to obtain His goal is to work Himself into man to make man His counterpart and complement. God desires to have a wife, a counterpart, to match Him in every […]
Christ is God’s History working within Man’s History to Gain God’s Building
When we read the book of Zechariah, just as with many other prophetic books in the Bible, it is not easy to see what’s going on and what is the prophet speaking about. We really need to put on “the glasses of God’s economy” so that we may see the crystals, the precious points, in […]
The Governing Vision of the Bible and the Kernel of the Divine Revelation
Many Christians read the Bible and they find a lot of things in the Bible. But have you ever wondered or have you ever asked the Lord in your time with Him in the Word, Lord, what is the governing vision in the Bible? Lord, what is the kernel of the divine revelation in the word […]
the kind of person we are determines the kind of fruit that we produce
In the Lord’s work the principle is that before we can do anything for the Lord we need to allow Him to work Himself into us. The result is not that “we work for the Lord” but that “we work with the Lord” and even “we are the Lord’s work”. We should not do things […]

If we would work with the Lord for the Body of Christ, we need to realize that in the Lord’s recovery there is only one work — the work of the Body. God has only one work that He is doing today – the work of building up the Body of Christ. What we are […]
In His ascension in His heavenly ministry Christ constitutes the new creation for the New Jerusalem!
God’s original intention was not just to have the creation of the universe and the creation of man – He was looking for something more. This is why He put man in front of the tree of life – God does not just want MAN, but He wants man to receive Him as life, be filled with Him as life, and live Him out as his life!

Actually, the old creation is OLD because God, who is NEW, is not in it! When we are born as human beings, no matter how good or spiritual our parents or our family is, we are born in the old creation, without having the divine life and nature. We can receive the divine life and the divine nature ONLY by believing into the Lord Jesus Christ and thus being regenerated by the Spirit!
