What Christ has accomplished and attained to in His ascension is colossal and monumental, and as believers in Christ we do well to dive deeper into the truth in the word of God concerning this matter. We need to see the heavenly scene and the heavenly Christ. After the Lord Jesus died and resurrected, He […]
In His Ascension Christ was Enthroned to Execute God’s Administration and Carry out His Economy
God’s Economy and Goal are to Work Himself into Man and Build Man into Himself
In order for us to cooperate with the Lord for the building up of the church, the Body of Christ, we need to know the economy of God and allow God in Christ to build Himself into us. First of all, the church is the Body of Christ, the fullness of the One who fills […]
Holding Christ as the Head and Teaching the Unique Ministry of God’s Economy
If we put together Ephesians 2:15 (Christ creating the one new man in His body on the cross), Romans 15:6 (with one accord with one mouth glorify God), and 1 Cor. 1:10 (speak the same thing, be attuned in the same mind and in the same opinion), what we get is that in the one […]
Discerning the Intrinsic Factor and Purpose of the Winds of Teaching in the Church

The first great pillar in the Lord’s recovery is the Truth, and what brought us into the Lord’s recovery is the truth. The extent to which the Lord can recover our being to His original intention is the extent to which we are constituted with the truth.
