Showers of Blessing

“And I will make them…a blessing, and I will cause the showers to come down in their season; there will be showers of blessing.” (Ezek. 34:26)

Through His shepherding in His recovery by life, the Lord brings us into the enjoyment of His blessing and causes us to become a source of blessing under the showers of blessing. May we all continue to enjoy the Lord’s blessing, and then He will cause us to become a source of blessing to others so that they may be supplied. (Crystallization-study of Deuteronomy, msg. 12, III.E, E.1)

Memorial Day Conference

Prayer Burden

The general subject is “A Timely Word concerning the World Situation and the Lord’s Recovery.” We are looking to the Lord and expecting Him to use this pandemic to do something extraordinary among us during this time. We are praying that He will help us to open this channel for the release of His Word through this ministry. To that end, we hope that all the churches and all the saints will prepare for this upcoming time of ministry and sanctify these days for the hearing of faith among us everywhere. Please pray for His blessing upon this conference. May it turn out to be a real memorial among us to the shame of God’s enemy and to the glory of God’s grace! (from LSM letter posted at https://churchinlosangeles.org/prayer)

The Organic Function of Every Saint

“Day by day…house to house, they partook of their food with exultation and simplicity of heart, praising God and having grace with all the people. And the Lord added together day by day those who were being saved.” (Acts 2:46-47)

“Truly I say to you that if two of you are in harmony on earth concerning any matter for which they ask, it will be done for them from My Father who is in the heavens.” (Matt. 18:19)

“To each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for what is profitable.” (1 Cor. 12:7)

“Each one, as he has received a gift, ministering it among yourselves as good stewards of the varied grace of God.” (1 Peter 4:10)

Pray for the saints to use the present circumstances to cultivate a church life that is more vital, more prevailing, more fruitful, and more according to the God-ordained way through the release of the organic function of every saint. (Unceasingly Pray, day 16)

LA Gospel

The spread of the gospel
“The word of the Lord was carried through the whole region.” (Acts 13:49)
