As believers in Christ, we need to fan our spirit into flame so that we may exercise ourselves unto godliness; may we be those who exercise our spirit to live Christ in our daily life for the building up of the church as the Body of Christ. Amen! This week we have been enjoying […]
Deny the self and Apply the Killing Power of the Cross to our Natural Disposition under the Lord’s Shining
The Spirit is operating in us and around us to deal with our outer man, our self, our natural disposition, by the killing element of the cross in the compound Spirit, by the discipline of the Holy Spirit, by the shining of Christ as the Spirit, and by the church life, fruit-bearing, and lamb-feeding.
