Laboring on the All-inclusive Christ Typified
by the Good Land for the Building Up of the Church
as the Body of Christ, for the Reality and

to Make Herself Ready for the Lord’s Coming
Message Twelve
Living a Life of Enjoying Christ as the Good Land with the Temple,
the Dwelling Place of God, and the City, the Kingdom of God, as Its Issue
Opening Word of the Prophesying Meeting
Reading the verses in each day.
Reading the main points in the outlines.
Pray-reading the verses:
As therefore you have received the Christ, Jesus the Lord, walk in Him, having been rooted and being built up in Him….—Col. 2:6-7.
What then, brothers? Whenever you come together, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up..—1 Cor. 14:26.
Word of Appetizer
We need to see how to live a life in the eyes of God that we may enjoy the all-inclusive Christ typified by the good land.
We need to live a life of operating in Christ, a life of enjoying Christ individually, so that we may enjoy Him corporately for the building up of the Body of Christ as the house and habitation of the living God.
Every day we need to spend time privately and intimately with the Lord, fellowshipping with Him; we must experience the riches of Christ as the good land by living in His person, presence, and shining.
Spiritual Burden
We need to live a life of operating in Christ, a life of enjoying Christ individually, so that we may enjoy Him corporately for the building up of the Body of Christ as the house and habitation of the living God.
If we would be overcomers, we need to operate in Christ as our good land to gain Christ as our enjoyment. The ultimate issue of our enjoyment of Christ as the good land is the processed Triune God with the regenerated, transformed, and glorified tripartite man becoming the mingled God-man as God’s eternal dwelling place and kingdom.
Concluding Word of the Prophesying Meeting
The Revelation of the Truth
First Corinthians uses the history of the children of Israel in the Old Testament as a type of the New Testament believers (5:7-8; 10:1-13); however, First Corinthians does not mention the good land because the reality of the good land, spiritually speaking, is in Second Corinthians.
We need to see how to live a life in the eyes of God that we may enjoy the all-inclusive Christ typified by the good land.
We must come together with the Lord’s children in the place of His choosing, in our spirit and on the unique ground of oneness, to have corporate worship.
Our enjoyment of Christ as the all-inclusive riches of the good land results in the church as the temple, the dwelling place of God, and as the city, the kingdom of God. The ultimate issue of our enjoyment of Christ as the good land is the divine-human incorporation of the processed Triune God with His regenerated, transformed, and glorified tripartite people as the eternal dwelling place and the kingdom of God.
The Experience of Life
We must come together to exhibit the Christ we are operating in, the Christ we are enjoying and experiencing; when we come together for the enjoyment of Christ corporately in the church meetings and for the enjoyment of Christ individually in our daily life, God is in our midst and we are His dwelling place and His kingdom.
.When we enjoy Christ to such an extent, the church meeting will be filled with God, and all its activities will convey and transmit God to people that they may be infused with God
Practice and Application
Every morning we must offer ourselves to the Lord sincerely for the simple purpose of enjoying and experiencing Him.
Every day we need to spend time privately and intimately with the Lord, fellowshipping with Him.
We need to enjoy Him in His Word every morning so that we may have a new start each day.
We need to live a life of prayer, maintaining our fellowship with the Lord at all times. We need to redeem the time to labor to be saturated and soaked with the divine Word. We must be controlled, regulated, directed, moved, and guided by our spirit to experience the riches of Christ as the good land.
