OPENING WORD OF THE PROPHESYING MEETING
Reading the verses in each day.
Reading the main points in the outlines.
Pray-reading the verses:
And the bow will be in the clouds, and I will look upon it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living animal of all flesh that is upon the earth—Gen. 9:16.
But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom to us from God: both righteousness and sanctification and redemption—1 Cor. 1:30.
Word of Appetizer
God’s desire is to work Himself into us; how does He work Himself into us?
The Triune God dispensing Himself as life into tripartite man is according to His righteousness, through His holiness, and unto His glory.
Christ died on the cross to satisfy the requirements of God’s righteousness, holiness, and glory, and then He resurrected to become the life-giving Spirit as the reality of the tree of life, becoming our righteousness, holiness, and glory; Christ is the wisdom to us from God, transmitting Himself into us as righteousness (for us to be regenerated in our spirit), sanctification (for us to be transformed in our soul), and redemption (for our body to be glorified).
Spiritual Burden
God’s eternal economy is to dispense Himself as the law of the Spirit of life into man, so that His divine attributes of righteousness, holiness, and glory may become man’s human virtue, for God to gain a corporate expression, which is the reality of the Body of Christ in the local churches, ultimately consummating the New Jerusalem as a city of righteousness, holiness, and glory.
Romans reveals that every church must have God’s righteousness (God’s procedure) as its foundation, God’s holiness (God’s nature) as its process, and God’s glory (God’s expression) as its goal, to bring us into God’s heart, which is to gain the reality of the Body of Christ through the local churches.
Concluding Word of the Prophesying Meeting
The Revelation of the Truth
God’s eternal economy is to dispense Himself as the law of the Spirit of life into man, so that His divine attributes of righteousness, holiness, and glory may become man’s human virtue, for God to gain a corporate expression, which is the reality of the Body of Christ in the local churches, ultimately consummating the New Jerusalem as a city of righteousness, holiness, and glory.
Romans reveals that every church must have God’s righteousness (God’s procedure) as its foundation, God’s holiness (God’s nature) as its process, and God’s glory (God’s expression) as its goal, to bring us into God’s heart, which is to gain the reality of the Body of Christ through the local churches.
The Experience of Life
Christ died on the cross to satisfy the requirements of God’s righteousness, holiness, and glory, and then He resurrected to become the life-giving Spirit as the reality of the tree of life, becoming our righteousness, holiness, and glory;
We can be at peace and have peace in the church life because there is no more death; the more we say “no more,” the more we realize that we have no death, no failure, no weakness, and no darkness, because we are living under God’s covenant, not under our feelings, our condemnation, or any circumstances.
Practice and Application
The rainbow is the sign of God’s faithfulness in keeping His covenant that there will be no more judgment of death; we must live under the new covenant and not believe in any failure, weakness, darkness, or negative things; we are the people of the covenant, and we have a verse of promise to meet every situation.
We need to give God the full opportunity so that His holy fire can work in us, allowing God to fill us with His righteous presence, so that through our coordinating as the corporate Christ, His glory may gain a radiant expression.
