OPENING WORD OF THE PROPHESYING MEETING
Reading the verses in each day.
Reading the main points in the outlines.
Pray-reading the verses:
Gal. 3:14 In order that the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Gal. 2:20 I am crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith in the Son of God…
Word of Appetizer
What threefold seed does Galatians presents the Christ who is in humanity?
Christ as the seed of the woman refers to the incarnated Christ, the complete God becoming a perfect man through the dispensing of Himself into humanity in order to destroy Satan and to save the believers in Christ from sin and death.
Christ as the seed of Abraham is for the blessing to all the families of the earth; the unique seed of Abraham as the last Adam became the life-giving Spirit, who is the blessing of Abraham (the reality of the good land), for the dispensing of Himself into the believers of Christ to make them the corporate seed of Abraham.
Christ as the seed of David refers to the resurrected Christ, who carries out God’s New Testament economy for the dispensing of the processed Triune God into the members of His Body so that they may share His kingship in His resurrection in the eternal kingdom.
Spiritual Burden
Galatians presents the Christ who is the threefold seed in humanity for God’s dispensing of Himself into the believers of Christ for the fulfillment of His economy.
The way to receive, experience, and enjoy the all-inclusive Christ as the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit is by God’s revealing of Christ in us; we live the Christian life according to the Christ whom we have seen.
Concluding Word of the Prophesying Meeting

The Experience of Life
The way to receive, experience, and enjoy the all-inclusive Christ as the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit is by:
- Being born according to the Spirit and by being given the Spirit of God’s Son into our hearts.
- Being identified with Him in His death so that it may be no longer we who live but He who lives in us; and the life which we now live in the flesh we live in the faith of Christ.
- Putting on Christ through the baptism that puts us into Christ.
Practice and Application
We need to drop our concepts, turn our heart to the Lord, pay attention to the spirit, and spend time in the Word in a spirit and atmosphere of prayer, Christ will be revealed in us, live in us, and be formed in us.
The way to receive, experience, and enjoy the all-inclusive Christ as the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit is by:
- Living and walking by the Spirit.
- Sowing unto the Spirit with the desire and aim of the Spirit in view, to accomplish what the Spirit desires.
- Boasting in the cross of Christ and living a new creation.
