OPENING WORD OF THE PROPHESYING MEETING

Reading the verses in each day.

Reading the main points in the outlines.

Pray-reading the verses:

Word of Appetizer

The key to receiving the divine dispensing of the Divne Trinity and becoming a channel for this dispensing, enabling the saints to grow in life and enjoy Christ, is to exercise our spirit, which is to fan into flame the spirit given to us by God. How do we fan into flame our spirit? 

Exercising our spirit, fanning into flame the Spirit given to us by God, means:

• To rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances, and make the enjoyment of the indwelling Spirit the secret to doing everything in Christ.

• To set our mind on the Spirit.

• To discern between our spirit and our soul.

• To live a normal church life by pursuing Christ with those who are pure in heart and seeking the 
  Lord, and to overcome the degeneration of the church.

• To have personal, heartfelt prayer and closeness to God for the sake of God‘s interests – Christ, the kingdom of God, and God‘s house – as the goal of God‘s eternal economy.

Spiritual Burden

In the “blueprint“ of God‘s original intention, man is the center of the entire universe, and the center of man is his spirit. The strategy of God’s economy, the central point, is the divine Spirit dwelling in our human spirit, blending together to become one spirit, the blended Spirit.

The great way to accomplish God‘s economy is for us to exercise our spirit, living according to that Spirit and doing everything by it. Whenever we turn to our spirit and exercise it, we touch the Body of Christ,
for the Body of Christ is in our spirit.

Concluding Word of the Prophesying Meeting

The Revelation of the Truth

God‘s eternal economy is His family administration, to dispense Himself in Christ into His chosen people, so that He may gain a family to manifest Himself, and this family is the church – the Body of Christ.
God‘s eternal economy is His eternal plan, and His divine dispensing is the means by which He accomplishes His plan.

God’s purpose in His economy is to dispense Himself in His divine Trinity-the Father, the Son, and the Spirit-into His chosen people. God’s sole goal in time is to dispense Himself into us day by day. 

The Experience of Life

In the “blueprint” of God’s original intention, man is the center of the entire universe, and the center of man is his spirit. Whenever we turn to our spirit and exercise it, we touch the Body of Christ, for the Body of Christ is in our spirit. When we are in our spirit, we overcome the World, we cannot sin, the evil one cannot touch us, and we are preserved, being kept far from idols.

Practice and Application

Exercising our spirit, fanning into flame the Spirit given to us by God, means:

• To rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances, and make the enjoyment of the indwelling Spirit the secret to doing everything in Christ.

• To set our mind on the Spirit.

• To discern between our spirit and our soul.

• To live a normal church life by pursuing Christ with those who are pure in heart and seeking the
  Lord, and to overcome the degeneration of the church.

• To have personal, heartfelt prayer and closeness to God for the sake of God‘s interests – Christ, the kingdom of God, and God‘s house – as the goal of God‘s eternal economy.
