Praise the Lord for the wonderful supply of His life in His Body. Year by year, I appreciate more and more the opportunity of being at the conferences, where we can be completely separated from our problems and we can consecrate this time to the Lord. Together with other saints, we have an opportunity to enjoy the bountiful riches of Christ.
As a result, our Lord can move in us more intensively, He can work more His life in our being, and He can enlarge our vision of His divine economy. Thus, when we go back home we have more of the supply of the Lord and we can share with it not only with the saints but also with our friends, our colleagues, and the other people that are related to us.
O Lord Jesus, thank You for the saints – with them I can gain more of You! Lord, may Your life flow through us to the other people continually!
This year the subject of the conference was the line of life in Genesis. I was impressed with the fact that the subject of the whole Bible can be summarized in one sentence.
God planned and created, Satan rebelled and destroyed, man fell and was lost, and Christ redeemed and built.
Praise the Lord for His eternal purpose! God created man according to His image that man could express Him, and He gave him authority to represent Him and deal with His enemy. Hallelujah!
Today God wants to create a corporate man, the Church, to express Him and have the power and the authority to deal with the enemy! This is why we have to be in the center of the church life today.
I also enjoyed the fact that at the beginning of the Holy Bible there are so many seeds – which are developed all throughout the Bible. The entire Bible is a book of life and God’s eternal purpose can be fulfilled only by the way of life. In the first chapter of Genesis we can see how life was created and developed.
After Satan’s rebellion, the earth became waste and emptiness. It shows the situation before our salvation. Upon the surface of the waters of death Spirit of God was brooding, and then God said, Let there be the light!
Praise the Lord! When the brooding Spirit of God came to us and we heard the living word of the gospel, we received the separating light from the Lord – we were transferred from darkness and death (where the world is) and we were brought into the Church life. Now we need to grow in life every day! After this, we see different stage / different kinds of life:
- the plant life – the lowest kind of life, came into being by the separation of the land from the seas – this is a picture of the Resurrected Christ and our experience of His resurrection;
- the creatures in the water – we still remain in the world but we are not under its influence anymore because we are being filled with the Christ;
- the birds/the creatures in the air – we experience the transcending and soaring-above-all Christ;
- the animals living on the earth – the life which fulfils the will of God the Father(for example, like the cows giving milk to feed others);
- the human life – it is a life in which man has God’s authority and he represents and expresses God.
We shouldn’t remain on “one level of life”. We need to see that God wants us to grow in His life continually so that He would have ultimately His full expression in the Church.
I was encouraged to see that God gave man a free will – He is a Great God. Only a small-minded person forces other people to accept his opinions. Our God is great and attractive and He attracts us with His love. Praise the Lord!
Saints, during the conference I saw again how important it is to be filled with God’s life every day! From the very beginning of the day let us come to the Lord so that He can fill our spirit with a fresh portion of His life!
Only Christ can completely satisfy our being. O, Lord Jesus be everything to us! May Your life rule in us!

Great web site. Wish I had the time to enjoy all the content. 🙂
Oh how we need to spend time with our dear Lord Jesus alone every morning, getting to know Him, being watered by Him, being revived by Him, so that we can know and have His heart for others and be useful vessels to God for the accomplishing of His economy.
