OPENING WORD OF THE PROPHESYING MEETING
Reading the verses in each day.
Reading the main points in the outlines.
Pray-reading the verses:
Matt. 1:23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel” (which is translated, God with us).
2 Tim. 4:22 The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.
Matt. 19:26 And looking upon them, Jesus said to them, With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.
Word of Appetizer
What’s the meaning of living in the Divine Trinity and living with the Divine Trinity?
To live in the Divine Trinity is to abide in Him, to remain in Him, to dwell in Him as our home; to live with the Divine Trinity is for Him to abide in us so that we may have His presence, His person, with us for our enjoyment.
Spiritual Burden
To live in the Divine Trinity is to abide in Him, to remain in Him, to dwell in Him as our home; to live with the Divine Trinity is for Him to abide in us so that we may have His presence, His person, with us for our enjoyment.
To live with the Divine Trinity is to have the resurrected Christ living in us; resurrection means that everything is of God and not of us, that God alone is able and we are not able, and that everything is done by God, not by ourselves.
Concluding Word of the Prophesying Meeting
The Revelation of the Truth
To live in the Divine Trinity is to abide in Him, to remain in Him, to dwell in Him as our home; to live with the Divine Trinity is for Him to abide in us so that we may have His presence, His person, with us for our enjoyment.
To live with the Divine Trinity is to live with Christ as Emmanuel— “‘Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel’ (which is translated, God with us)”.
To live with the Divine Trinity is to have the resurrected Christ living in us.
The Experience of Life
The presence of Jesus is Emmanuel; the practical Emmanuel is the Spirit of reality as the presence of the consummated Triune God in our spirit; His presence is always with us in our spirit, not only day by day but also moment by moment. We enjoy grace and peace through the Spirit as the presence of the Triune.
We are under the killing of Christ’s death by the indwelling Spirit and through our outward environment; if we try to escape from the environment that God has arranged for us, we will not have joy and peace; when we stay in this limited environment, we can experience resurrection.
Practice and Application
Regardless of what we do, we must pay attention to whether or not we have God’s presence; if we have God’s presence, we have everything; we must learn to be kept, to be ruled, to be governed, and to be guided not by His secondhand presence but by the direct, firsthand presence of the Lord.
To experience the Spirit as the reality of the resurrected Christ, we need to turn to our spirit to pray, praise, sing, or talk to God; after ten minutes of talking to God, we will be on fire and full of the Spirit as the reality of resurrection.
We all need to be discipled by the Lord to be divine and mystical persons; we should cherish people by the divine and mystical life in resurrection.
