OPENING WORD OF THE PROPHESYING MEETING
Reading the verses in each day.
Reading the main points in the outlines.
Pray-reading the verses:
John 15:4-5 Abide in Me and I in you….I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing.
1 John 2:27 And as for you, the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone teach you; but as His anointing teaches you concerning all things and is true and is not a lie, and even as it has taught you, abide in Him.
Word of Appetizer
How do we live in the Divine Trinity?
We live in the Divine Trinity by abiding in Christ as the true vine; The Lord Jesus told us in John 15 that He is the vine and that we are the branches of the vine. As the branches of the vine, we should abide in Him. Then He will abide in us. To abide in Christ is to live in Christ, and to live in Christ is to live in the Divine Trinity.
We abide in the Triune God by the teaching of the anointing; we abide in the divine fellowship with Christ by experiencing the cleansing of the Lord’s blood and the application of the anointing Spirit to our inner being.
Spiritual Burden
We need to see the practical experience of living in and with the Divine Trinity; as branches of the vine, we need to abide in the vine; our abiding in Christ as the vine depends on seeing a clear vision that we are branches in the vine; once we see that we are branches in the vine, we need to maintain the fellowship between us and the Lord; to abide in the Lord is to be one spirit with Him.
We abide in the Triune God by the teaching of the anointing; we abide in the divine fellowship with Christ by experiencing the cleansing of the Lord’s blood and the application of the anointing Spirit to our inner being.
Concluding Word of the Prophesying Meeting
The Revelation of the Truth
We need to see the practical experience of living in and with the Divine Trinity.
The Lord Jesus told us in John 15 that He is the vine and that we are the branches of the vine.
We live in the Divine Trinity by abiding in Christ as the true vine.
The Experience of Life
When we believed in the Lord Jesus, He branched into us, and we became branches in Him.
When we are abiding in the Son, we enjoy our Father’s life and nature and the right to express Him and enjoy all His possessions; when we abide in the Son, we abide in the Father because the Son and the Father are one.
Practice and Application
We are branches in the vine; once we see that we are branches in the vine, we need to maintain the fellowship between us and the Lord; the Christian life is a life of abiding in the Lord; to abide in the Lord is to be one spirit with Him.
We need to be those who are abiding in God; to abide in God is to have the faith in the Son of God and to have the love of God to love all the brothers.
