Message Seven
Knowing the Ascension
Opening Word of the Prophesying Meeting
Reading the verses in each day.
Reading the main points in the outlines.
Pray-reading the verses:
And raised us up together with Him and seated us together with Him in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus.—Eph. 2:6.
This Jesus God raised up, of which we all are witnesses.—Acts 2:32.
Having therefore a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession.—Heb. 4:14.
Word of Appetizer
Where is Christ today?
We must learn to say, “The Lord today is in His ascension.” … The whole age of grace is the time of the Lord’s ascension. He has done many things in the heavens, but today’s Christians have not paid sufficient attention to this part of Christ’s ministry. Today He is in the heavens, sitting at the right hand of God (Rom. 8:34), and He is also in us (v. 10). This is very mysterious. He is in the heavens in His ascension, and He is also in us in His ascension to be with us. Today we are in the ascension. We are not earthly people; we are heavenly people.
Spiritual Burden
The ascension of our Savior is the process of His passing through creation, incarnation, human living, crucifixion, and resurrection to be both God and man, both the Creator and the creature, the Redeemer, the Savior, and the life-giving Spirit, to enter into the heavenly ministry to carry out God’s administration and to fulfill God’s New Testament economy.
The Lord today is in His ascension and in our spirit; whenever we come together unto His name, Christ is with all His members in His ascension, and this is the move of God in man.
Concluding Word of the Prophesying Meeting
Revelation of the Truth
The ascension of our Savior is the process of His passing through creation, incarnation, human living, crucifixion, and resurrection to be both God and man, both the Creator and the creature, the Redeemer, the Savior, and the life-giving Spirit, to enter into the heavenly ministry to carry out God’s administration and to fulfill God’s New Testament economy.
We need to see the objective side of the Lord’s ascension.
We need to see the subjective side of the Lord’s ascension.
The Experience of Life
We are now one with Christ in resurrection and ascension (Eph. 2:6); as a result, we have the life and power in resurrection and the authority in ascension; when we contact our Lord, we need to know who He is, His identity, position, and function.
We need to believe that in the divine, spiritual realm, there is a power to transmit to us all that Christ has accomplished and obtained in His ascension. We should not only believe in the divine transmission, but we also need to experience this transmission day by day.
