The Lord Jesus had a deep aspiration for oneness, and this aspiration issued in the high prayer recorded in John 17 for the oneness of the Body of Christ as the enlarged oneness of the Divine Trinity. In this prayer, we can see three levels of oneness: oneness in the Father’s name and by the […]
learning to reject ourselves and live by the divine life for the Body of Christ
When the Lord Jesus was on the earth, He did not do anything from Himself (see John 5:19) or for Himself – He did everything as He saw the Father doing, and whatever the Father said, that’s what the Son also said. The Lord Jesus as the God-man could have lived His own life by […]
reaching the high peak of living in the reality of the Body of Christ by praying
What will bring the Lord back is a group of overcomers who live in the reality of the Body of Christ – they live a reproduction and a duplication of the life that the Lord Jesus lived when He was on earth. But where is such a living today on the earth? We can safely […]
living the divine life by minding the things of the Spirit and being led by the Spirit
We need to mind the things of the Spirit by setting our mind on the things of the Spirit (Rom. 8:5-6; 1 Cor. 2:14) – these things are the deep things of God (1 Cor. 2:10-11) concerning Christ as our all-inclusive portion.

today God the Father is glorified in the Son and Christ the Son is glorified in the church
This morning I was encouraged by the Lord’s prayer in John 17:22-23, where He says, And the glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, even as We are one; I in them, and You in Me, that they may be perfected into one, that the world […]
Our God is a Speaking God, and He desires to speak to us, in us, and through us!
Hallelujah, our God is a speaking God! The reason we speak for Him is because He is speaking in us all the time – and He wants us to cooperate with Him! Our God is not a dumb God – He is always speaking, and the highest & greatest speaking of God in the whole […]
