We need to see the importance of life and of the growth in life in our Christian life and church life. We may know the truth, we may love the Lord and read His word, and we may love the church and serve the saints in the Lord, but how much did we gain the […]
Being Exposed of and Delivered from the Commercial Mind, “What’s In It For Me?”
May 7, 2013 by 3 Comments
We have seen previously that God hates pure commerce – commerce is the most wicked thing on earth in God’s eyes. But we need to see further that commerce is not only something outside of us but it is part of our being – it is inside of us! We may not be outwardly involved […]
Pure Commerce is the Most Evil Thing on Earth: God Hates It and He Will Judge It!
May 7, 2013 by 2 Comments
This week we are continuing our study of Zechariah, and specifically to a crystal in this book that is not that well known: The Evil and Wickedness of Commerce versus a Divine Sense of Value concerning Christ and the Church. In Zechariah 5:5-11 we see the ephah vessel – which is a container holding one measure of […]
Christ’s First Coming was Humble but His Second will be Victorious (Zechariah 9-14)
May 2, 2013 by 3 Comments
In the last six chapters of Zechariah, we see many prophecies concerning the Lord’s two comings, with specific details that have been and will be fulfilled as historical events. But we need to see that the focal point and the major content of the divine history within the human history are the two comings of […]

![God's Move on Earth is by the Move of "the High and Awesome Wheels" (Ezek. 1) [In the picture: Our God is living, our Lord is moving, and the Spirit is working, to carry out God's eternal economy. ]](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/god-living-lord-moving-spirit-working-carry-out-gods-economy.jpg?fit=300%2C198&ssl=1)
The way God carries out His economy is through His move, and God’s move is portrayed in Ezek. 1:15-21 by the move of the high and awesome wheels. When we walk from here to there we don’t need wheels, but when we go to specific places we need some wheels. God has a special move, […]
Not Hindering God Anymore but Being Fully Responsive to Him for Him to Work
January 28, 2013 by 10 Comments
![We need the Lord to shine on us both individually and corporately as the church that we may see, in His light, what He can do AND what we can hinder Him from doing. [In the picture: The Lord must bring us to a place of utter responsiveness to Himself so that He can have a free and unhindered way to do whatever He wants to do, Watchman Nee]](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/a-place-of-utter-responsiveness-to-god-unhindered-way.jpg?fit=300%2C199&ssl=1)
I am impressed and humbled to see how much God is limited to man’s cooperation. God is omnipotent and He can do everything He wants, but His omnipotence is limited because His church on earth does not release His power and His will. God needs to have certain conditions suitable for His working, and then […]
The Prayer Ministry of the Church: Asking God to Accomplish what He Wants to Do
January 18, 2013 by 8 Comments
We have seen that the significance of prayer is to contact God in our spirit and to inhale Him, and the principle of prayer is that God’s people need to pray for God’s will to be done before God can rise up to do anything. I am still amazed to see that God, who is […]
