Prayer

Week of March 19

Experiencing and Enjoying the Divine Dispensing

"That He would grant you…to be strengthened with power through His Spirit into the inner man, that Christ may make His home in your hearts through faith, that you…with all the saints…may be filled unto all the fullness of God." (Eph. 3:16-19)

"Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and psalming with your heart to the Lord, giving thanks at all times for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to our God and Father." (Eph. 5:19-20)

The entire revelation in Ephesians concerning the producing, existing, growing, building up, and fighting of the church as the Body of Christ is composed of the divine economy and the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity into the members of the Body of Christ; thus, the crucial focus of Ephesians is the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity into the believers.

In chapter 3 the apostle prays that God the Father will grant the believers to be strengthened with power through God the Spirit into their inner man so that Christ, God the Son, may make His home in their hearts, that is, occupy their entire being, that they might be filled unto all the fullness of the Triune God; this is the climax of the believers' experience and participation in God in His Divine Trinity.

Chapter 5 exhorts the believers to praise the Lord, God the Son, with the songs of God the Spirit, and give thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, God the Son, to God the Father. This is to praise and thank the processed God in His Divine Trinity for our enjoyment of Him as the Triune God. (The Divine Dispensing of the Divine Trinity for the Divine Economy, msg. 5, III, C, E, 1)

ITERO

The Spring 2023 International Training for Elders and Responsible Ones will be held in Anaheim this weekend, March 24 to 26. The general subject is "Knowing, Experiencing, and Living the All-inclusive Christ for the Genuine Church Life."

Please pray that the Lord will speak a timely word to His whole Body, especially the elders and responsible ones, for the advancement of His economy on the whole earth.

UCLA Blending Trips

Spring is upon us, and during the academic year this is a time where many college students take the opportunity to visit other localities, blend with the saints, and attend the FTTA short-term training.

Next week, two groups from UCLA will be participating in blending trips. Around 12 saints will travel to Nevada to visit the church in Las Vegas. Another group of nearly 25 saints will remain in LA to blend with a group of more than 30 saints visiting from Berkeley. Please pray that:

The Lord would sovereignly cover the health, traveling, and weather so that all the saints could enjoy the Lord to the uttermost and none would be hindered from fully participating;
All the students would get a taste of blending and experience the sweet Body life;
The saints providing hospitality would be supplied with the Lord as grace as they receive different saints in their homes during this time.

Bibles for America

In January and February of this year, saints and FTTA trainees participated in a number of gospel trips in cities throughout the US. Many gospel tracts, Bibles, and ministry books were given away on campuses and in communities in each city, and a good number of people were open to follow-up contact.

Please pray that all the Bible and book recipients would be enlightened and nourished by the interpreted Word of God. Pray also that the local saints would be strengthened to shepherd these contacts into the enjoyment of the riches of the ministry.

Ukraine

Please continue to pray for the saints in Russia and Ukraine to be kept in the oneness of the Body and the reality of the new man, where Christ is all the members and in all the members, and for the preservation and shepherding of all the saints in their tripartite being.

A reminder from the footnote on 1 Kings 8:48: "No matter for whom we are praying, our prayers should be aimed at the interests of God, i.e., at Christ and the church as God's interests on earth, for the fulfilling of God's economy."

Overcoming by Breathing the Spirit

"And when He had said this, He breathed into them and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit." (John 20:22)

"…The bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ." (Phil. 1:19)

To be a Christian is not merely difficult—it is impossible. Only the processed and consummated Triune God living in us as the all-inclusive Spirit can be a Christian…The kind of holiness required, for example, is something that we cannot produce…Only the Spirit can be a Christian, and only the Spirit can be an overcomer.

We need to call on the Lord Jesus, continually…Because we are not accustomed to this, we need to practice calling on the Lord's name all the time. To live is to breathe. Spiritually speaking, to breathe is to call on the Lord's name and to pray. By calling on the name of the Lord Jesus, we breathe the Spirit. Just as we must breathe in order to live physically, we must breathe spiritually to live Christ. (Life-study of Job, p. 110; Life-study of Philippians, pp. 298-299)

Southern California High School Sisters Conference

The Spring High School Sisters Conference will be held in-person this weekend, March 17 to 19, at Oak Glen. The topic is "The Divine Romance."

May they see the Lord afresh and be drawn by Him personally so that together they would run after Him. Pray also that they would be encouraged by and blended with other young people across Southern California.

FTTA-MA

The spring term of the Middle-age Training in Anaheim begins next week on March 20. The goal of the training is to foster living, functioning, overcoming members of the Body of Christ for the fulfillment of God's eternal purpose!

Please pray for the Lord's covering and blessing of all the trainees, serving ones, and their families. Pray for the rich infusion of the truth into each trainee and for the Lord's maturing them through His moving within each one and His using the outward environment.

Spring European University Conference

This weekend, March 17 to 19, a conference will take place in the Netherlands for university students in Europe. The subject will be "Living for the Fulfillment of God's Eternal Purpose." Please pray that:

The Lord will pour out His blessing on every aspect of the conference, including the travel and weather.
Each attendee will meet the Lord this weekend and, seeing His beauty and realizing that this is the day of day of His warfare, will offer themselves willingly to Him.
The Lord will speak a timely word to the university students in Europe and gain them for His final move to prepare for His coming. Each one will see God's purpose, live for His purpose, enjoy Him, be consecrated to Him, and shepherd according to Him.
Satan and his kingdom will suffer fatal, irrevocable loss in the hearts and lives of this generation, and that they will be produced as part of the one new man who will live for and become part of the fulfillment of God's eternal purpose.

The Law of the Spirit of Life in Romans 8

"Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from the body of this death? Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord!…" (Rom. 7:24-25)

"There is now then no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has freed me in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and of death." (Rom. 8:1-2)

The key to being an overcomer is the law of the Spirit of life in Romans 8, a chapter for desperate seekers. All those who are qualified for this chapter must be the ones who are desperate. After being saved, after seeking the Lord, and after being defeated along the seeking way, they are desperate...You must be a desperate one. This chapter does not try to stir you up because you do not have a heart toward the Lord...This chapter gives you a clear view of what you have within you. Because you are so seeking, because you are so desperate, you need such a view. You do not need a "way"; you need a view. You need to see what has been done with you, what has been installed into you. You need to see what you have already. You do not need just a kind of instruction, but you need a view to see what you have.

We must have a clear view that...God today is this law within us. Such a God as a law does not work in us and for us by activities...Today He is the processed God as a law to you. Have you ever had a specific prayer to thank Him that He is now the law to you?...I am afraid we still pray in the old way, asking the Lord for His help in our weakness. We still ask the Lord to help us not to lose our temper...Do you really realize that God has been installed into you as the law of the Spirit of life? He is working within us by a law, not by activity. What we need to do is to cooperate with Him. (The Divine Dispensing of the Divine Trinity for the Divine Economy, msg. 3, I; Perfecting Training, ch. 36, pp. 396-399)

Southern California High School Brothers Conference

The Spring High School Brothers Conference will be held in-person this weekend, March 10 to 12, at Oak Glen. The topic is "The Divine Romance." Please pray for our high school brothers to see the Lord afresh and be drawn by Him personally so that together they would run after Him. Pray that they would be encouraged by and blended with other young people across Southern California.

Los Angeles Large Group Fellowship

This Friday evening there will be a meeting at Hall 5 for all college students in LA. We will be covering the importance of blending as seen in Romans 16. Please pray that:

Jesus would gather the students throughout the LA area together to this time.
All attending would touch the living Spirit.
A vision of the Lord's desire for His blended Body would be imparted through the speaking.

Ukraine

Turkey

Pray for the saints in Istanbul and other cities in Turkey to be strengthened to bear a strong testimony for the Lord and cooperate with Him.

Ethiopia

The Lord is blessing many areas of His move in Ethiopia. The saints throughout the country are steadfastly entering into the riches of this ministry through local conferences and video trainings. The campus work is growing stronger in the Oromiya region in the western part of the country; in the various universities in Addis Ababa, we are looking to the Lord for the best way to take care of more than 60 new contacts. Last August, we held a Summer School of Truth for our young people for the first time. In the Full-time Training in Addis Ababa there are currently 50 trainees, 23 of whom will graduate this July.

There are currently 10 churches in Ethiopia, but there are saints meeting in over 60 localities. Many localities are ready to take the ground. In the first half of 2023 we plan to take the ground in five more cities. Please pray for the security and political stability of the country. Pray that the Lord may gain many serving ones and strengthen them. Also pray for the literature service, that we may distribute more books all over the country.

Participating in the Things Prepared by God by Loving Him

"…Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard and which have not come up in man's heart; things which God has prepared for those who love Him." (1 Cor. 2:9)

To realize and participate in the deep and hidden things God has ordained and prepared for us requires us not only to believe in Him but also to love Him...To love God means to set our entire being—spirit, soul, and body, with the heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30)—absolutely on Him, that is, to let our entire being be occupied by Him and lost in Him, so that He becomes everything to us and we are one with Him practically in our daily life. In this way we have the closest and most intimate fellowship with God, and we are able to enter into His heart and apprehend all its secrets. Thus, we not only realize but also experience, enjoy, and fully participate in these deep and hidden things of God. (1 Cor. 2:9, note 3)

Let us love the Lord, setting our entire being on Him, to experience the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity!

Having a Labor of Shepherding

"…Yes, Lord, You know that I love You. He said to him, Feed My lambs…Yes, Lord, You know that I love You. He said to him, Shepherd My sheep." (John 21:15-16)

In order to make ourselves ready for the Lord's coming, we need to maintain our victory by participating in Christ's heavenly ministry to feed His lambs and shepherd His sheep in order to take care of God's flock, which is the church that issues in the Body of Christ.

We need to shepherd people according to the pattern of the Lord Jesus in His ministry for carrying out God's eternal economy. Our not having the Father's loving and forgiving heart and the Savior's shepherding and seeking spirit is the reason for our barrenness. We need to cherish people (to make them happy and to make them feel pleasant and comfortable) in the humanity of Jesus. We need to nourish people (to feed them with the all-inclusive Christ in His ministry of three stages) in the divinity of Christ.

In His caring for the churches as the golden lamp stands, the ascended Lord is the "walking Christ" and the "speaking Spirit"; by His walking in the midst of the churches, He gets to know the condition of each church, and then according to what He sees, He speaks to us so that all the saints in the churches might be metabolically and organically transformed with the aim of making them His overcomers. (ICSC, msg. 5, II, A, 1, 2, 6)

Wednesday Night Ministry Meetings

The weekly Wednesday Night Ministry Meeting will resume this week on March 1 at 7:30 pm. The live, in-person meetings at the LSM Ministry Conference Center will once again be open to all the saints. Accordingly, the previous website provided previously to nearby churches and saints to watch remotely (lsm.org/live) will no longer be available. The saints are invited and encouraged to attend these crucial ministry meetings in person to support the release of the word.

Those who cannot attend in person may create or log into their account at http://lsmwebcast.com and either pay to watch the meeting live or watch without paying if they are monthly subscribers.

Please pray for the ministry of the Lord's word week by week to His recovery. Pray for the Lord's continued blessing of the Full-time Training in Anaheim and covering of all trainees and serving ones.

Ukraine

Please continue to pray that:

The Lord will keep all the saints in the involved countries open to Him for their experience of the divine dispensing in all the situations of their daily living.
The Lord will meet all the practical needs of the saints as the cold weather of winter settles in.
The brothers who are fighting in the war will be preserved by the Lord in their tripartite being.
The Lord will shepherd the refugees and establish them in the church life.
The local saints, serving ones, and trainees will be blended with the refugees by being through the cross and by the Spirit to minister Christ to one another for the building up of the Body.
The saints will be kept in the oneness of the Body and the reality of the new man.
The tripartite being of saints in besieged cities will be protected and preserved for the Lord's interests.
The Lord will comfort and sustain those who have lost loved ones in the war.
The enemy will be bound in his attack on the Lord's interests in Russia, Ukraine, and Europe.

Turkey

Pray for the two families affected by the earthquakes, that their lives can turn back to normal and be protected from further disaster; also pray for their hearts to be comforted and be free from the shadow of fear and death. May the Lord open the door of the gospel in Turkey!

Egypt

Over three million people attended the 54th annual Cairo International Book Fair, which took place January 24 through February 6. The CIBF is the largest book fair in the world for the Arabic-reading public as well as the largest in the world that is open directly to the public. For the fifth year in a row the Arabic literature work in Egypt was able to present LSM ministry publications in Arabic openly to the public. The interactions with the public and the reception to the Arabic ministry materials were, by far, the best we have had since we began participating in this fair. (For highlights, see the February issue of LSM's newsletter.)

Please pray for:

The follow-up with and shepherding of new contacts.
All those who received our books to benefit from this ministry.
The translation and publication of ministry books into Arabic, including the NT Recovery Version.

Democratic Republic of the Congo

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is the second-largest country by area in Africa and, with nearly 90 million people, the continent's fourth-most populous country. Over 600 saints are meeting in 12 localities, including the capital Kinshasa. Please pray for:

The Lord's protection and care of the saints in Goma, where there have been protests against the political situation and military conflict between the government and rebel groups.
The preservation of the Lord's interests in the DRC and neighboring countries.
The saints to be supplied in all aspects of their tripartite being so that the Lord's testimony may increase and the light of the Lord will shine as in a dark place.

Having a Revived Living

"Therefore we do not lose heart; but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day." (2 Cor. 4:16)

The general subject of the 2023 International Chinese-speaking Conference was "Making Ourselves Ready for the Lord's Coming." Please pray that the Lord's speaking to His entire recovery will produce a people who will cooperate with Him to make themselves ready for His coming.

In order to make ourselves ready for the Lord's coming, we need to maintain our victory by having a revived living, a living of being renewed day by day; this renewal has to be refreshed every morning. We must enjoy the Lord early in the morning to have a new start each day. Every morning we should allow the Lord Jesus, our Sun, to rise up in us so that we can be renewed. We should rise up early in the morning to fellowship with the Lord, and we can pray, "Thank You, Lord, for a new beginning. May this day be a memorable day in my life." This is what we call a morning-by-morning revival.

Every morning we should offer up Christ as our burnt offering and peace offering, based upon His being our sin offering, so that we may have a new beginning; not only must we do this every day, but we must also do it with sweetness and depth. To take Christ as our burnt offering every morning is to take Him as the One who lived a life absolutely for God's satisfaction and as the life that enables us to have such a living. (ICSC, msg. 5, I, A, B.1-3)

Seeing and Enjoying the Divine Dispensing of the Divine Trinity

"Jehovah bless you and keep you; Jehovah make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; Jehovah lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace." (Num. 6:24-26)

We must have the key, the governing principle, of the writings in the Bible. Just as the master key to a building gives us the ability to open the doors in that building, so we need the key to open every book of the Bible. This key also gives us the ability to discern every portion of the Scriptures. (CWWL, 1984, vol. 2, p. 232)

According to the entire revelation of the sixty-six books of the Bible, the Divine Trinity—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit—is for God's dispensing, that is, for the distribution of God into His chosen people. God's desire with His strong intention is to dispense Himself into His chosen people as their life, as their life supply, and as their everything. (CWWL, 1993, vol. 2, p. 53)

What a blessing it is to have His face, His presence, and to enjoy Him daily as grace! What a blessing it is to have His countenance smiling upon us, assuring us, and confirming us! And what a blessing it is to have peace in Him, by Him, and with Him! This is the Triune God as our blessing. (The Divine Dispensing of the Divine Trinity for the Divine Economy, msg. 1, VI)

FTTA

The spring 2023 term of the Full-time Training in Anaheim begins this week on February 19. The Boston Extension (XB) already started last week. Please pray for the perfecting of these young saints in truth, life, and service for the advancement of the Lord's move on the earth.

Turkey

Following the February 6 earthquakes in central and southern parts of Turkey, please pray for the saints who lost their relatives and friends to be comforted and for the saints who have taken refuge outside to be kept in good health, have rest in their souls, and receive supply in their spirits.

Pray for the saints in Istanbul and other cities to be strengthened by the Lord and be His living testimony, and pray for their contacting of Rhema book subscribers and the distribution of further books. May the Lord open the door of the gospel in Turkey!

Ukraine

Please continue to pray that:

The Lord will keep all the saints in the involved countries open to Him for their experience of the divine dispensing in all the situations of their daily living.
The Lord will meet all the practical needs of the saints as the cold weather of winter settles in.
The brothers who are fighting in the war will be preserved by the Lord in their tripartite being.
The Lord will shepherd the refugees and establish them in the church life.
The local saints, serving ones, and trainees will be blended with the refugees by being through the cross and by the Spirit to minister Christ to one another for the building up of the Body.
The saints will be kept in the oneness of the Body and the reality of the new man.
The tripartite being of saints in besieged cities will be protected and preserved for the Lord's interests.
The Lord will comfort and sustain those who have lost loved ones in the war.
The enemy will be bound in his attack on the Lord's interests in Russia, Ukraine, and Europe.

Nigeria

Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa with nearly 215 million inhabitants. There is a belief that as the political, economic and social challenges in Nigeria improve, so will the rest of the continent. The churches in Nigeria ask the Body to join them in prayer and petition to the Lord regarding the upcoming elections in country, beginning with the presidential election on February 25.

Please pray that:

The Lord would put in place the president of His choice who will serve His interests.
The Lord would use the president and other leaders He chooses to bring in a conducive environment for the spread of the gospel of the kingdom throughout Nigeria.
The Lord would curb the activities of His enemy during this election period and beyond, and that there would be peace and tranquility during the election and in the long term (1 Tim. 2:2).
The election of the proper leaders would bring about normal economic growth and reduce the harsh suffering all over the country. (Basic opportunities for employment and opportunity to earn a living wage will positively affect the spread of the gospel and the churches.)

Mary's Love Offering to the Lord

"A woman came to Him, having an alabaster flask of ointment of great value, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at table. But when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, Why this waste?" (Matt. 26:7-8)

"Truly I say to you, Wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done shall also be told as a memorial of her." (Matt. 26:13)

The disciples considered Mary's love offering to the Lord a waste. Throughout the past twenty centuries, thousands of precious lives, heart treasures, high positions, and golden futures have been wasted upon the Lord Jesus. To such lovers He is altogether lovely and worthy of their offering. What they have poured upon Him is not a waste, but a fragrant testimony of His sweetness….This indicates that we must love the Lord and grasp the opportunity to express our love to Him….To love the Lord with our best requires a revelation concerning Him.

Along with Simon, Mary also probably thought that this was her last chance to do something over the Lord's body to anoint Him for burial. In a very real sense, Mary buried the Lord Jesus before He was crucified. What a contrast there is between the religionists who hated the Lord and wanted to kill Him and His lovers who took the opportunity to express their love for Him!…

The story of the gospel is that the Lord loved us, and the story of Mary is that she loved the Lord. We must preach both, the Lord loving us and us loving the Lord. One is for our salvation, and the other is for our consecration. The gospel tells us how the Lord loved us, but the loving story of Mary stirs us up to love the Lord. Thus, there needs to be a mutual love. This must accompany the preaching of the gospel. (Life-study of Matthew, msg. 68)

International Chinese-speaking Conference

The 2023 ICSC takes place this weekend, February 17 to 19. For saints who cannot attend in person at the Ministry Conference Center in Anaheim, the conference meetings will be streamed by live webcast (live.lsmwebcast.com) and delayed webcast (conf.lsmwebcast.com) across the whole earth according to the schedules displayed on the two websites.

Meeting 5: Lord's Day, February 19....9:55 AM *in-person MCC table meeting 9:30 AM

The general subject of this conference is "Making Ourselves Ready for the Lord's Coming." Please pray for the preparation of the speaking brothers and the saints. Pray earnestly that the Lord will speak to His entire recovery and that all the saints will give Him their full cooperation to make themselves ready for His coming.

FTTA Gospel Trips – Morgan Hill and Palo Alto

Gospel teams from FTTA and FTTA-XB visited churches in Canada and the United States, as well as 20 countries in Europe, from January 26 to February 11. The trainees are now preparing for their upcoming spring term (XB starts this week; FTTA starts next week) or are seeking the Lord for His will concerning their post-graduation future. Please pray that the Lord will use the gospel trips to gain the trainees and burden many of them for His move to spread and build up His testimony in Europe and North America.

In California, one of the gospel teams visited Stanford University in Palo Alto and gave out 25 Bibles; 14 students gave them their contact information. At Gavilan College in Morgan Hill, 7 students signed up for further contact. Please pray that all those who received the Bible, booklet, and tract would read, be supplied, and nourished by the word. Pray for the follow up contact, that all these ones would remain open vessels.

FTTL

Prayer According to God's Will

"And Jesus answered and said to them, Truly I say to you, If you have faith and do not doubt...even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea, it will happen. And all that you ask in prayer, if you believe, you will receive." (Matt. 21:21-22)

The first God-man's teaching here was according to God's will for the accomplishment of His economy. Not many see that the Lord's teaching on prayer is related to God's economy, which is to be accomplished by His faithful people doing His will….This is God's will not in small matters, such as where we should move, but His great will for the accomplishment of God's economy. Many Christians today use the term the will of God in a very shallow and light way. We should be those who are carrying out God's will to accomplish God's economy.…What is the real will of God that we have to carry out? It is to take care of the producing and building up of God's organism, which is the Body of Christ that will consummate the New Jerusalem.

We must first be the right persons before God, persons who are one with God. Then we can have God as our faith and pray according to our knowledge of God's will for the fulfillment of His economy….This is the experience of having faith in God without doubting, and believing that we have received what we have asked for so that we receive it. We have to pray according to God's will for the fulfillment of His economy. Then we are one with God and the right persons in God's eyes. Then we have the assurance that we have received what we have prayed for. (The God-man Living, pp. 142-143, 146-145)

ICSC

The 2023 International Chinese-speaking Conference will be held at the Ministry Conference Center in Anaheim from Friday, February 17 through Lord's Day, February 19. All the saints are invited to attend in person at the MCC or by live webcast at http://live.lsmwebcast.com. More information about schedule and translation is posted at http://www.churchinlosangeles.org/prayer. Please pray for Lord to take more crucial steps in the advancement of His purpose during this gathering.

Bibles for America

In 2022, BfA gave away a record 184,000 copies of the NT Recovery Version—57,000 more than any year before. We are thankful to the Lord that so many people in this country are seeking and hungry for the Word of God.

This increase in orders means that a larger number of Bibles need to be packaged and shipped out each week. Please pray that the BfA staff and volunteers laboring at our distribution center would be supplied and strengthened to fulfill all of these orders. Pray also for the Lord to cover every step of the process so that the Bibles could go out in a timely way.

FTTA Gospel Trips – Hayward and Rohnert Park

Please continue to remember the FTTA gospel trips in prayer; they continue until February 11. Specific prayer burdens and updates are at http://ftta.org/gospeltrips.

In California, from January 27 to February 11, a gospel team is visiting several churches in the Bay Area—Hayward, Morgan Hill, Palo Alto, and Rohnert Park. The saints preached the gospel and passed out flyers, tracts, Bibles and booklets at Cal State East Bay in Hayward and Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park. Please pray:

For those who signed up to have follow-up contact and become remaining fruit on these two campuses.
That the Lord would establish a group of new core students for the Bible Club at Sonoma State University this year.
That the Lord would add young couples and families to the church in Rohnert Park.

The Lord will keep all the saints in the involved countries open to Him for their experience of the divine dispensing in all the situations of their daily living.
The Lord will meet all the practical needs of the saints as the cold weather of winter settles in.

The Lord will comfort and sustain those who have lost loved ones in the war.
The enemy will be bound in his attack on the Lord's interests in Russia, Ukraine, and Europe.

Timor-Leste

Timor-Leste, or East Timor, is a Southeast Asian nation with fewer than 1.5 million inhabitants, most of whom are Catholic. The two official languages are Portuguese and Tetum, with English and Indonesian designated as working languages. Currently there are 21 saints in the capital Dili; half are Tetum- or Indonesian-speaking, half are Chinese-speaking. Please pray:

For the saints in Dili to be healthy, rich, building, and functioning members to build up the Body of Christ for His increase.
For the completion of a newly constructed meeting hall.
For the language learning of recently migrated saints.

Cooperating with the Lord to Satisfy the Hungry

"And after commanding the crowds to recline on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds. And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve handbaskets full." (Matt 14:19-20)

The Lord fed the people; He ministered the life supply to them. By having the crowds recline on the grass, He put the people into good order. This shows the Lord's wisdom and orderliness. By looking up to heaven the heavenly King indicated that His source was His Father in the heavens. Then He blessed the loaves and fishes and broke them. This indicates that whatever we bring to the Lord must be broken for it to become a blessing to others….

After the Lord broke the loaves, He gave them to the disciples. The loaves were from the disciples, and they brought them to the Lord. After being blessed and broken by the Lord, they were given back to the disciples for distribution to the crowds, to whom the loaves became a great satisfaction. This indicates that the disciples were not the source of blessing; they were only the channels used by the Lord, who was the source of the people's satisfaction. The broken bread was passed on to the disciples, and the disciples distributed it to the crowds. This broken bread became the satisfaction to all the hungry people, and there was great blessing. The principle is the same today….

Twelve baskets full of fragments indicate not only that the resurrected Christ is unlimited and inexhaustible, but also that the Lord's provision for us is abundant, more than sufficient to meet all our need….What we offer to the Lord may be very little; but the blessing will be great, and the overflow, the surplus, will be greater than what we offered. What we offer to the Lord cannot be exhausted. Rather, it will be used by the Lord to bless others abundantly, even with a surplus, to testify that this is the Lord's marvelous doing. (Life-study of Matthew, msg. 43, pp. 517-519)

Until February 11 gospel teams from FTTA and FTTA-XB are visiting 20 countries in Europe, as well as the US and Canada, for the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom. Approximately 240 trainees and serving ones on 36 teams are involved. Please pray that:

The Lord will blend and build the saints involved so that He will have the free way to fully bless the trips.
The sanctifying Spirit will go before the saints to prepare the hearts of those the Lord has chosen.
The preaching of the gospel of the kingdom will be prevailing and reach all those the Lord desires to save.
Fruit, even remaining fruit, will be borne in each place visited, and the Lord will add to the churches as His testimony in each of these nations.

Building on the Rock According to the Lord's Words

"Everyone therefore who hears these words of Mine and does them shall be likened to a prudent man who built his house upon the rock. And the rain descended, and the rivers came, and the winds blew, and they beat against that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock." (Matt. 7:24-25)

"The work of each will become manifest for the day will declare it, because it is revealed by fire, and the fire itself will prove each one's work, of what sort it is." (1 Cor. 3:13)

The rock [in Matthew 7:24] does not refer to Christ, but to His wise word, the word that reveals the will of His Father who is in the heavens. The kingdom people's living and work must be founded on the word of the new King for the accomplishment of the will of the heavenly Father. This is to enter the narrow gate and walk the constricted way which leads to life.

[In verse 25] the rain is of God, descending from the heavens; the rivers are of man, coming from the earth; and the winds are of Satan, blowing from the air. All these will test the living and work of the kingdom people. Although the rain may descend, the rivers may come, and the winds may blow, the house built upon the rock will not fall because it is built according to the constricted way, the way of doing the will of the Father. The house built on the rock which does not fall is like the building work of gold, silver, and precious stones, which can stand the testing fire (1 Cor. 3:12-13).

Verse 26 says, "And every one who hears these words of Mine and does not do them shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house on the sand." Sand here refers to human concepts and natural ways. If we live and work according to our human concepts and natural ways, our living and work will be founded on sinking sand. This is to enter the wide gate and walk on the broad way that leads to destruction. (Life-study of Matthew, msg. 24, pp. 306-307)

FTTA Gospel Trips

From January 6 to February 11, gospel trip teams are going out to 20 countries in Europe, as well as the US and Canada, to join with the local saints for the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom. The majority of these gospel trips begin this Thursday, January 26. Please pray that:

The Lord will blend and build the saints involved so that He will have the free way to fully bless the trips.
The sanctifying Spirit will go before the saints to prepare the hearts of those the Lord has chosen.

The Pattern of Prayer in Matthew 6

"You then pray in this way: Our Father who is in the heavens, Your name be sanctified; Your kingdom come; Your will be done, as in heaven, so also on earth. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen." (Matt. 6:9-13)

After the rebellion of Satan, the earth fell into his usurping hand. Thus, the will of God could not be done on earth as in heaven. Hence, God created man with the intention of recovering the earth for Himself. After the fall of man, Christ came to bring the heavenly rule to earth so that the earth could be recovered for God's interest, so that the will of God could be done on earth as in heaven. This is why the new King established the kingdom of the heavens with His followers. The kingdom people must pray for this until the earth is fully recovered for God's will in the coming kingdom age.

[The prayer in Matthew 6], as a pattern, cares first for God's name, God's kingdom, and God's will, and second, for our need. This prayer, as a pattern, cares, third, for the kingdom people's failures before God and for their relationship with others. The kingdom people should ask the Father to forgive their debts, their failures, their trespasses, as they forgive their debtors to maintain peace. This prayer, as a pattern, cares, fourth, for the kingdom people's deliverance from the evil one and from evil things. The kingdom people should ask the Father not to bring them into temptation but to deliver them from the evil one, the devil, and from the evil that is out of him. (Footnotes 10¹, 11¹, 12¹, 13² in Matt. 6)

2023 North America College Training

Registration for the 2023 North America College Training is now open! The subject is "Love Prevails," and it will be held July 16 to 22 in Champaign, Illinois. Thousands of college saints who have participated in previous college trainings received extensive and lasting spiritual benefits, especially the graduating high school seniors. Our expectation is that the Lord would use this special time to freshly gain this generation, to constitute them with the vision of the age and equip them with the truth for His eternal purpose.

Our hope for this time is that the Lord could gather at least 3,500 saints to attend, and to reach that number many college students need to decide early on to set this week apart unto the Lord, regardless of their summer plans. To encourage such a momentous registration, a substantial discount for those who register in the month of January is being offered. However, the real benefit of early registration is that those who commit early can testify to their peers and those in the churches around them of their decision. In so doing, they can be factors to encourage hundreds more to follow them to the NACT this summer!

We need to pray for many to be patterns among this generation who, like Nehemiah, do not seek their own interests but seek the Lord with a pure heart and do not leave the things of God's move to others but participate in them themselves. In the same way as the writer of Hebrews encouraged the readers of his epistle to "come forward" to the place where he was, we pray for many who will take the lead to come forward and register early, during January! Therefore, during this month, we desperately need the fighting prayers of all the saints:

Pray for the stirring up of at least 1,400 throughout North America to register and pay in the month of January, boldly registering in faith and giving the Lord the first place in their summer plans!
Pray that the serving and shepherding saints could render the proper fellowship to all those considering the NACT and that all impediments for those who would like to go would be completely removed.
Pray that the Lord stir up the students not only to register but also to pray for this time and encourage others around them to "Come forward!" to the NACT without delay!

May the Lord continue to raise up a generation of young people for His will and purpose to end this age!

Hall 4 Retreat

This weekend, January 20 to 22, about 85 saints, students, young people, and children from Hall 4 will gather at Oak Glen to begin 2023 together. Please pray for:

All the saints to be washed in the water of the Lord's fresh speaking!
Saints of all ages and stages to be strengthened and encouraged to consecrate themselves to pursue the Lord in an atmosphere of love this year!
Our love for one another to increase so that we can be a testimony of oneness to all those around us!

FTTA Gospel Trips

The Lord will blend and build the saints involved so that He will have the free way to fully bless the trips.
