Paul, the prisoner in the Lord, beseeches us to walk worthily of the calling with which we were called, with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, bearing one another in love, being diligent to keep the oneness of the Spirit in the uniting bond of peace (see Eph. 4:1-3). In the church, under the abundant […]

Growing in Life by Having our Soul Subdued and Saturated with Christ as the Spirit
December 16, 2014 by 5 Comments
The church life is Christ Himself enjoyed by us, experienced by us, realized by us, and expressed through us corporately. For us to have the proper church life to express Christ according to God’s eternal purpose, however, our soul must be subdued and saturated with Christ as the Spirit. Most of the time we live […]
We need to Experience the Breaking of the Outer Man for the Release of God’s Life
September 12, 2014 by 1 Comment
Every believer in Christ needs to experience the breaking of the outer man for the release of the life of God in his spirit (Heb. 4:12). When we received the Lord Jesus into us, He as the Spirit came into our human spirit and now dwells in us; the Lord is with our spirit (2 […]

Let all the people on the earth know assuredly that God has made Jesus both Lord and Christ (adaptation of Acts 2:36). In His ascension, Christ was inaugurated by God to be the Lord of all and the Christ of God, and He was given the highest name in the universe – the Lord Jesus […]

![Praying on Behalf of All Men to be Saved and Come to the Full Knowledge of the Truth [in the picture: I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings be made on behalf of all men (1 Tim. 2:1).]](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/2tim2-1first-of-all-prayers-intercessions-thankgiving-on-behalf-of-all-men.jpg?fit=300%2C168&ssl=1)
The first thing we should do is not assess the situation or find out the best solution but pray. Even before reading the Bible, before taking a shower in the morning, and before we go to work / school / do the daily chores, we need to pray. Don’t make any decisions without praying; rather, […]
God’s Move Depends upon Our Moving: the Church must Match Christ in His Move
February 16, 2013 by 7 Comments
![God's Move Depends upon Our Moving: the Church must Match Christ in His Move [In the picture: The wheels following the living creatures indicates that the move of God’s work depends upon our moving (Ezek. 1:19; cf. Eccl. 11:4).]](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/wheels-follow-living-creatures-move-gods-work-depends-on-our-moving.jpg?fit=300%2C199&ssl=1)
In Ezekiel 1:19-20 we see that there are four living creatures, each one having a great and high wheel, and wherever the creatures went, the wheels went also. The creatures followed the Spirit, the wheels went with the creatures, and the Spirit was in the wheels – so mysterious, yet so real in our daily […]

Concerning the matter of prayer we all need to admit that we don’t really know how to pray and what to pray as is fitting – we don’t know how to pray in such a way that we touch God’s desire and move His hand. This is our weakness (Rom. 8:26-27), and the Spirit with […]
