The Triune God has been Processed and Consummated to Dispense Himself into us

This is a fact that all the believers in Christ should know, treasure, enjoy, and benefit of in their daily Christian life: the Triune God has been processed and consummated to dispense Himself into our entire tripartite being (John 7:37-39; Rom. 8:11).

This means that God became a man and He passed through a long process of incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension, and He became the life-giving Spirit – so that He may dispense all that He is into us!

All He requires of us is to open to Him, drink of Him, and keep drinking of Him until we are saturated with Him and become His increase, His enlargement, and His expression on the earth.

God desires to constitute us with Himself, and the way He does it is by dispensing all that He is into us, putting His very element and very being into our being!

God’s life becomes our life – Christ is our life (Col. 3:4). God’s nature becomes our nature – we walk according to the divine nature (2 Pet. 1:4).

We need to just keep drinking of God as the fountain of living waters until we become one with Him, we are constituted with Him, and we will become His counterpart for eternity for the fulfillment of the desire of His heart!

God has been Processed and Consummated to Dispense Himself into us

How can man experience and enjoy God? If God would remain in the heavens and we here on earth would try to please Him, know Him, worship Him, etc – that is close to impossible. This is why to be a Christian is NOT to do all these things, but to have God as life in your being living in you and being manifested through you.

God doesn’t want robots-human-beings or completely-submissive-men who listen to His every command.

God desires to be one with man, and for this He went through the long process of incarnation (God became flesh like us), human living (God lived a perfect human life on earth for 33.5 years), death (the Lord Jesus was put to death on the cross unjustly and without a fair trial), resurrection (God raised Jesus from the dead after three days), and ascension (Christ ascended to the highest heavens, to the throne of God).

In His resurrection, Christ became the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45; 2 Cor. 3:17) and as such a Spirit He can come into our spirit to dispense God into us. God’s economy is to dispense Himself into our being so that our being can be constituted with His being – this can be accomplished only by God putting Himself into us as the divine life (Rom. 8:2, 6, 10-11).

As we receive God’s dispensing we become God’s corporate expression on earth and for eternity! In Rev. 21:9-10 and 22:1 we see that the result of God’s people receiving and enjoying and being under God’s continual dispensing as the water of life and the tree of life, God has an eternal habitation, expression, and enlargement in the New Jerusalem!

What a glorious privilege we have to be daily under the divine dispensing, enjoying the Triune God’s dispensing of Himself into our being to mingle Himself with us, constitute us with God, and make us His expression on earth!

Drinking God as the Fountain of Living Waters to become His Increase and Counterpart

As human beings, we will never marry anyone who is not a human being. A man marries a woman, someone who is his own kind, and someone who is prepared by God for him to be his counterpart, his helpmate, his co-partaker of the grace of life.

God made us in His image, and our need to get married shows that God needs to get married. God desires a counterpart, someone of His own kind that He can delight in, who can offer Him rest and satisfaction, and who can match Him in every possible way.

Man was created for this purpose – to be God’s counterpart and wife. The Bible starts with a couple (Adam and Eve) and ends with a couple (the Lamb and the Bride).

How can we as sinners become God’s counterpart? First of all God went through a long process to redeem us and to become the Spirit that He may come into us. Before God can marry us, we need to become like Him. God became a man so that man may become God (in life and nature, but not in the Godhead).

For God’s need to have a counterpart, God became a man, and He is making man God! Now we are God-men, those who drink of God as the fountain of living waters to become one with God!

Whatever we drink becomes one with us and even becomes us. As we drink of God as the fountain of living waters, He becomes one with us and we become one with Him (see Psa. 36:8-9). The more we drink of God, the more He is one with us, we are one with Him, and we are constituted with Him in His life and nature to be His counterpart (John 3:15; 2 Pet. 1:4; Eph. 1:5, 9; 5:27).

This is why God considers it as the most evil thing in His eyes that we would forsake Him as the fountain of living waters and hew out for ourselves cisterns (which are broken, holding no water).

We need to return to the Lord from any other idols that replace Him, and drink only of Him so that we may become His increase and counterpart for the satisfaction of His heart and the fulfillment of His economy!

Lord Jesus, keep us under the divine dispensing today. May our daily life with all its things and activities be fully brought under Your dispensing. Keep us drinking of You as the living water. Lord, we are so happy that You are available for us to drink, enjoy, and receive! Make us real Christians, genuine believers, who drink only of God as the fountain of living waters! Lord, have a way to gain Your counterpart, Your bride, Your satisfaction in love! Keep us drinking of You until we become the New Jerusalem to match You!
