The Triune God’s Dispensing in the Ministry of John
THE EXTRACT OF THE OUTLINES
Scripture reading:
John 14:21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, he is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will manifest Myself to him.
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make an abode with him.
I. The subject of John’s writings is this: the reality, center, and content of the entire universe is that the Triune God desires to dispense Himself into His chosen people to be their life and life supply, making them all divine so that they may fully express Him for eternity. (Monday)
II. John’s writings unveil that in the divine move and in our experience, the Divine Trinity dispenses Himself into us:
A. John 14:7-14 shows us that the Father is embodied in the Son to be manifested among the believers; the Son among the believers is the embodiment of the Father—John 14:7-14.
B. The Father is the object, the Son is the embodiment, and The Spirit is the realization, and these three are all in us as the vessels; the object, the embodiment, and the realization are the surpassing treasure in us as earthen vessels—2 Cor. 4:7.

C. The divine transmission of the Divine Trinity to the believers is revealed in John 16:13-15; this transmission is from the Father to the Son, from the Son to The Spirit, and then from The Spirit to us—vv. 13-15. (Tuesday)

III. We need to see that the Christ ministered by John is to dispense the Triune God as life into our tripartite man: (Wednesday)
A. Christ is the eternal life, which is the divine, uncreated life of God, not only everlasting in time but also eternal and divine in nature, for His eternal dispensing—1 John 1:2; John 11:25; 14:6.
B. Christ is the Giver of the Spirit, and The Spirit is the Triune God reaching us; when the Triune God reaches us, God dispenses Himself into us—John 3:34.
C. John ministers Christ as the Lamb of God; this redeeming Lamb is for dispensing God as life into man—John 1:29; Rev. 5:6; cf. Exod. 12:8-11.
———————————————————————
D. Christ is the living One; for Christ to dispense life, He must be the living One in order to make the church the house of the living God—Rev. 1:17-18; 1 Tim. 3:15. (Thursday)
———————————————————————
E. Eventually, the Triune God and His redeemed, regenerated, transformed, and glorified tripartite man are united, mingled, and incorporated to become the New Jerusalem as the ultimate consummation of the dispensing of the Triune God into man—Rev. 21:2-3, 9-10, 22-23; 22:1-2. (Friday & Saturday)
OPENING WORD OF THE PROPHESYING MEETING
Reading the verses in each day.
Reading the main points in the outlines.
Pray-reading the verses:
… I am the way and the reality and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me—John 14:6.
But when He, the Spirit of reality, comes, He will guide you into all the reality; for He will not speak from Himself, but what He hears He will speak; and He will declare to you the things that are coming. He will glorify Me, for He will receive of Mine and will declare it to you. All that the Father has is Mine… —John 16:13-15.
Word of Appetizer
What is the subject of John’s writings? What do John’s writings unveil to us?
The subject of John’s writings is: the reality, center, and content of the entire universe is that The Triune God wants to dispense Himself into His chosen people to be their life and life supply, making them all divine to fully express Him for eternity; this should also be our reality, center, and content.
John’s writings unveil that in the divine move and in our experience, the Divine Trinity dispenses Himself into us.
Spiritual Burden
We need to see that the Christ ministered by John is to dispense The Triune God as life into us tripartite man. From such a Christ ministered to people, the children of God have been produced, having the eternal life, partaking of the fellowship of the eternal life by abiding in the Lord and walking in the light, being taught by the anointing, enjoying the virtues of the divine birth along with the divine seed, becoming the testimony of Jesus—the lampstands, as the expression of The Triune God, becoming the harvest along with the firstfruit, as the expression of life, and becoming the bride of the Lamb, as His increase and satisfaction.
Concluding Word of the Prophesying Meeting
The Revelation of the Truth
The subject of John’s writings is: the reality, center, and content of the entire universe is that The Triune God wants to dispense Himself into His chosen people to be their life and life supply, making them all divine to fully express Him for eternity; this should also be our reality, center, and content.

We need to see that the Christ ministered by John is to dispense The Triune God as life into us tripartite man.
The Experience of Life
When we love Him, not only does His Spirit dwell in us, but He Himself will manifest Himself to us; this means that when we have fellowship with the One we love, we have His presence; if we love Jesus, Jesus will love us, and the Father will also love us; when the Son manifests Himself to us, the Father will come with Him to make an abode with us and dwell with us.
The divine transmission of the Divine Trinity to the believers is revealed in John 16:13-15: this transmission is from the Father to the Son, from the Son to The Spirit, and then from The Spirit to us; this is the move of the Divine Trinity for our experience.
Practice and Application
The Son manifests Himself to those who love Him, and the Father comes with the Son to make an abode with those who love the Son; we need to be on the “top floor,” not in the “basement”; this is why we need to love the Lord Jesus and say, “Lord Jesus, I love You”; when we love Him, we are brought to the top floor, and then we see everything in the heavens; we need to go up on the staircase of the Lord’s salvation by loving the Lord.
Christ is our Advocate with the Father; Satan may accuse us of being unclean, unholy, and unrighteous, but God the Father will say, “Satan, look at Jesus Christ the righteous; My children have a good Defense Attorney.” We must tell Satan: “Shut up, do not speak!” Then we should praise the Lamb and say, “Hallelujah to the Lamb! Hallelujah for the blood!”.
