Message Five
Being a Fully Equipped Man of God by Inhaling and
Exhaling the Word of God as the Breath of God
OPENING WORD OF THE PROPHESYING MEETING
Reading the verses in each day.
Reading the main points in the outlines.
Pray-reading the verses:
2 Tim. 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
17 That the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.
Word of Appetizer
What is a fully equipped God-man?
A God-man is a person who partakes of the life and nature of God, being one with Him in life and nature (1 Corinthians 6:17), and thus manifesting God. A fully equipped God-man is someone who, in the spirit, reads the Bible through various prayers and supplications, so as to inhale God and supply the Word as the Spirit, so as to exhale God into people.
Spiritual Burden
God’s ultimate purpose is to gain a corporate God-man to be His corporate manifestation. God does not want good people, but God-men, God-men who have the breath of God.
To become a fully equipped God-man with the breath of God, we need to exercise our spirit, constantly receiving the Spirit, and also inhale God’s Word. The overcomer is fully constituted by the Spirit that is the Word of God, becoming the Bride of Christ and the new man, the corporate God-man, who has the breath of God as a sword to slay, to destroy God’s enemies, so that God’s sons can be manifested.
Concluding Word of the Prophesying Meeting
The Revelation of the Truth
God’s ultimate purpose is to gain a corporate God-man to be His corporate manifestation. God does not want good people, but God-men, God-men who have the breath of God.
The Bible, God’s breathing out, is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, so that the God-man may be complete, equipped for every good work.
The Experience of Life
Whenever we see God’s things, we see our own mistakes, faults, shortcomings, and sins. As a result, we are reproved, rebuked. The more we see God, know God, and love God, the more we abhor ourselves and deny ourselves.
Whenever we are troubled by certain negative things within us, we should receive God’s Word in the spirit through various prayers. When the negative things within us are slain through prayerful reading, the Lord gains the victory.
Practice and Application
To become a fully equipped God-man with the breath of God, we need to exercise our spirit, constantly receiving the Spirit, and also inhale God’s Word.
We should read the Bible to inhale God, to gain life. We should teach the Bible to exhale God, to dispense life.
We are kept safe in church life and ministry by receiving the Word that is the Spirit, which is the slaying sword. This Word is the spiritual antibiotic that kills the “germs” within us, enabling us to live a healthy physical life and a healthy church life.
