The Vision and Experience of Christ

We need a clear vision that the content of God’s New Testament economy is a Person who is both divine and human, a Person who is both God and man, who has passed through incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension and has consummated in the all-inclusive, processed, compound, life-giving, and indwelling Spirit imparted into us in His resurrection as life to us, and poured out upon us in His ascension as power to us that we may live the divine life to express God and move with the divine power, economically, to carry out God’s economy. (WL, God's New Testament Economy, ch. 9; read during the opening word of Thanksgiving Conference message 1)

Lord, grant us all a new and fresh vision of Yourself as the reality of resurrection and ascension. And bring us into the practical and subjective experience of what we see. Lord, we want to live the divine life and move with divine power.

Our Response to the Vision and Experience of Christ

Let us open to the Lord and pray to overcome all spiritual passivity and to fully recover the exercise of our spirit in order that the Lord may work what is needed in us to live in ascension as His garden and to be His corporate warrior to fight with and in Him. (based on the concluding word of Thanksgiving Conference message 6)

London

Bower House is a large property in London used for conferences, FTT London, church meetings, book sales, packing and mailing books, and is a fellowship center for Lord’s Move in Europe. A redevelopment of Bower House is desired in order to expand its usefulness. The final planning permission application will be submitted soon. Please pray that:

The Lord will give the brothers clear direction in deciding how best to present the plans to the
local planning authority
The planning authority will look upon our application with favor and will respond positively.

Ukraine

There were 60 churches in Ukraine at the beginning of the year. Five churches have been affected by the fighting that began early this year. No saints have been injured but 39 have been forced to flee their homes and are staying with saints in other cities. Please pray:

That the heavens would rule, the Lord would be glorified and Satan would be put to shame;
That even in the present divisive political situation the new man would be brought forth and the Body would be built up;
For the Lord’s continued blessing on all the churches and all the saints in the Russian speaking world for the Lord’s interest and testimony;
For all the saints who have been affected by the fighting, that their hearts would be comforted and that they would continue to experience the Lord as their all sufficient supply in the Body.

Kiev (the capital and largest city) has been quiet since demonstrations in March. A number of brothers are working on construction of the meeting hall. The exterior siding is finished and all the windows have been installed; interior work continues. Please pray:

For the brothers working on the hall to be continually supplied and preserved in the one accord;
For our continued good relationship with all of our contractors;
For the Lord’s covering and blessing on our relationships with our neighbors especially with those who live in close proximity to the hall;
For the completion of the hall and the timely preparation of all the occupancy documents;
That every aspect of the construction and use of this hall would be used by the Lord for the building up of His Body in the Russian speaking world.

The subject is, The Vision and Experience of Christ in His Resurrection and Ascension. Please pray that the Lord's living word be released to uplift our vision of Christ, with a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of Him. Pray also that His word would operate in us to bring forth much experience of Christ in His resurrection and ascension.

Bible Distribution in Los Angeles

Last Saturday the Spanish-speaking saints in hall 1 were at the Mercado Del Pueblo. We had a very blessed time doing the Bible distribution. We gave out 40 Bibles and some other literature; 38 of the 40 recipients left their information for a follow up. Lord Jesus, thank you for the blessings during this time. We give you all these people that took their Bible. We ask you to open their eyes so they can see more when they open their Bible. Grant us to have the proper care for all the seeking ones.

Bibles for America

During the first two weeks of BfA's tour in the Southeast, we were at college campuses in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Florida, to distribute free Bibles and Christian books. We gave away over 650 copies of the New Testament Recovery Version and at least as many copies of Basic Elements of the Christian Life, The Economy of God, The Normal Christian Life, and other books from our free Christian Books Collection.

The distribution teams have been encouraged by people's warm reception and by their uplifting conversations with students, university personnel, and others who stop by the tables.

Please pray for the many people who came into contact with the saints during the first two weeks of this tour. Pray that they would open the books they received and that the Word spoken to them would grow and bear fruit.

Europe

Attendees will include saints in the churches throughout Europe and also seeking ones contacted through the spread of the ministry publications and the campus work. Please pray for the perfecting of the saints and the gaining of the seeking ones for the Lord's recovery in Europe.

London

A series of seminars on "Changing Death into Life" is being held at four venues in London on each of the five Lord's Days in November. The goal is that the Lord would increase the church in London by capturing some for His recovery, and that at least one new district would be raised up (District 12) in the borough of Walthamstow in Northeast London.

In Walthamstow 32 new ones attended the second seminar, 14 for second time. Please pray for the new ones to come back for the remaining seminars and for the continued sweet coordination among the saints in shepherding them. Pray that many of the contacts will desire further home visitations and meetings.

International Thanksgiving Conference

Please pray for the spiritual and practical preparations for this conference. Pray for the brothers preparing the messages, that “utterance may be given to them in the opening of their mouth, to make known in boldness the mystery of the gospel” (Eph. 6:19). Pray for all the listeners, that our hearts will be open to have a fresh word implanted in us for further growth unto maturity.

Raising up our Next Generation in the Church Life

This past Saturday, November 15, there was a joint young people's meeting for all the districts in Los Angeles as well as Santa Monica and Inglewood. A total of 90 saints were there including young people, college students, serving ones, and parents. The topic was on the life of Joseph and following his pattern of seeing a heavenly vision and allowing that vision to affect our daily lives - so that the Lord, through us, could be the Savior and Sustainer of life to those around us at our schools. The young people testified afterwards from their conferences which touched the matter of having a proper humanity (the junior high conferences) and Joseph (the high school conferences).

Please pray that our young people would come to increasingly know and love the Lord Jesus as the one with the proper humanity for the church life, and as the real Joseph who supplies life to both God's people and to the people in the world.

The enemy would be bound in relation to any frustrations that would keep students from coming to or enjoying the conference;
The Lord would gain the real victory and every student would experience the blessings and freedom of the reality of the jubilee.

Unto Sonship

"Chose us…to be holy…unto sonship" (Eph. 1:4-5). The divine sonship is accomplished by our being mingled with God (the Holy One as the Holy Spirit) unto full sanctification. Lord, grant us to be continually mingled with you. Sanctify us wholly.

Report from College Conference

The first college conference was this weekend, Nov. 7-9 in Big Bear. Thank you saints for all of your prayers! We had one of the highest numbers of students that we've ever had at this fall conference. 477 in all, including 318 students, checked in. This includes 55 from the USC area. 13 were baptized at the conference, including 1 USC student. The Lord's anointing was truly with the speaking, showing how each of us (even though we have become numb to it) are under great oppression from sin and Satan. How much we need the Lord Jesus to be our jubilee, our freedom, in our daily life! Furthermore, in the jubilee not only are we returned to our possession (God), we return to our family (the church) and become proclaimers of this good news.

Please pray that the students would continue to live in the jubilee and proclaim the jubilee this week in their daily lives. Furthermore, pray that they would enjoy their real family, the church!

The Intrinsic Practice of the Church Life

The church life is the all-inclusive Christ with His unsearchable riches realized, experienced, and expressed by all the saints in a corporate way.

The Heading Up of All Things

God's economy of the fullness of the times is to head up all things in Christ. Today the entire creation is groaning in vanity and the slavery of corruption (Rom. 8:20-22). For creation to be released, we, the Body of Christ, need to be the first to be headed up by Christ. We participate in this heading up by receiving Christ’s transmission to the church, by loving Him with the first love, by growing in life, and by living in the light.

Rome

There are currently 15 to 18 saints meeting on the Lord's Day. We have gained as many as seven young people from the Rome campuses; however, most of these have migrated to other localities for graduate studies, and one is planning to attend the full-time training. Two Romanian families have begun to come to the meetings, but we are especially burdened to gain more Italian families. We have many contacts in the communities with whom we have built relationships. While we will continue to go to the campus once a week for Bible distribution, we feel to focus on building up four home meetings and inviting local contacts. We are preparing an invitation to study the Bible, which we will give to those living in our respective apartment buildings. For this we desperately need the prayer of the Body, so please pray that families from our local communities will be added to these four home meetings. Please also pray that more young people from the campuses will be added to the church in Rome.

In the past two years Rhema has gone from zero to 6,887 requests, 2,924 names, and 4,052 order fulfillments, all from people living in Italy. We look to the Lord that many of these could be added to the churches in Italy.

Almost 100 students were personally visited this last week, with many joining into Bible studies in the dorms. At least 20 of these new contacts attended small group meetings Friday night.

Next week will be our first Bible study and on-campus college meeting. Please continue to pray that the Lord will bless these gatherings and gain more of the reality of His Body through our labor at UCLA.

Fellowship and Perfecting

Saturday, October 18 from 4 to 9 PM there will be a time of fellowship and perfecting for the Spanish-speaking saints. This will be at 1855 W Ball Rd in Anaheim. Messages will be in English with translation; there will not be child care; bring your own dinner.

India

Amana Literature was at the World Christian EXPO in India. The Lord gave us the wisdom during the EXPO to clarify some of the common questions, such as who we are, who Witness Lee was, the relationship between Watchman Nee and Witness Lee, the local church, Living Stream Ministry, and the Recovery Version of the Bible. The Lord answered the prayer of the Body and gave us the grace, the wisdom and the anointing to clarify these questions. After every speaking, many of the people there ended up buying the ministry books and the Recovery Version Bible.

There are many positive responses and testimonies from this event. We pray and believe that the interpreted word in the ministry will continue to flow out prevailingly, reaching many more thirsty and seeking believers all over India. Glory be to God!

L.A. Joint Meeting

Lord's Day, October 19 the whole church in Los Angeles will gather at L.A. Trade Tech College at 10 a.m. (same location as in April). May the Lord really use this time to blend all of us together for the sake of the impact of His testimony in Los Angeles.

ITERO

The International Training for Elders and Responsible Ones will be October 9 to 11 in Toronto. Lord's Day, October 12, the trainees are invited to a blending meeting with the churches in Canada.

The burden of this training is that the Lord will make us all able ministers of the New Testament, effective building material for the universal building up of the Body of Christ, and good stewards and serving ones in our respective local churches.

UCLA

UCLA classes will begin Thursday, October 2. As the new school year begins, please join us to pray that the Lord would gain material for His building from this campus. We have been touching the Lord's heart for people, and are burdened to emphasize going to meet students rather than simply inviting them to events. The Wednesday before school starts, we will visit students we've contacted both over the summer and at the club fair on Tuesday. Around 80 of the summer contacts have indicated that they would like to be visited, and more have been visited in the last few days. Please pray that in these visits we would be one with the visiting God for the accomplishment of His purpose.

Bibles for America

From September 12 to 17, BfA staff members joined local saints to distribute free Bibles and ministry books at an assortment of venues and college campuses in San Luis Obispo, Santa Rosa, Berkeley, Sacramento, Merced, and Visalia. On the last day, at Visalia's College of the Sequoias, the saints set up a table and gave away their last 40 Bibles; based on the openness of students, they could have given away many more.

The saints were well-received at every venue. People approached with questions like, "What does it mean that we will perish?" and comments like, "I read the first page of The Normal Christian Life, and I want more!" A total of 240 Bibles and 360 ministry books, as well as hundreds of brochures and gospel tracts, were distributed during the tour.

Please pray that the word will continue to run in Central and Northern California, and that the many seeds that were sown during the tour will take root and bear fruit. Pray also that the local saints will be strengthened into the inner man as they follow up with recipients who requested further contact.

Bulgaria

There will be a conference in Sofia, Bulgaria October 3 to 5. Many new people are expected. Pray for the furtherance of the Lord's move here.

Düsseldorf, Germany

The full amount for the purchase of the meeting hall in Düsseldorf has now been received through the gifts of the saints. We thank the Lord for this! The prayer of the saints for this matter has therefore been answered. Praise Him!
