Hearing the Speaking Spirit
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” (Rev. 2:29)
“…He awakens me morning by morning; He awakens my ear to hear as an instructed one.” (Isa. 50:4b)
The Lord always wants to open our ears to hear His voice (Job 33:14-16; Isa. 50:4-5; Exo. 21:6) that we may see things according to His economy. The dull ears need to be circumcised (Jer. 6:10; Acts 7:51). The sinners’ ears need to be cleansed with the redeeming blood and anointed with the Spirit (Lev. 14:14, 17, 28). To serve the Lord as priests, we must have our ears cleansed with the redeeming blood (Exo. 29:20; Lev. 8:23-24). According to Revelation, as the Spirit is speaking to the churches, we all need an opened, circumcised, cleansed, and anointed ear to hear the Spirit’s speaking. (Life-study of Revelation, pp. 123)
If we listen to His speaking, we will immediately be under Christ’s transfusing and infusing, and we will be immersed into Christ. Today the seven Spirits are speaking to the churches, and anyone who has an ear and listens to this speaking will be turned to Christ’s infusing. Whenever we listen to the speaking of the seven Spirits of God to the churches, we are immediately under a precious, sweet, and dear transfusing, an infusing that changes us, transforms us, makes us the proper material, and builds us into God’s building. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 4222)
International Memorial Day Blending Conference
“In the blending of the churches we receive nourishment, we receive revelation, and we receive a vision of God’s eternal purpose concerning Christ and the church. Such a blending is not only for our own mutual spiritual benefit but is also for the mutual building up of the Body of Christ.” (1993 Blending Conference Messages concerning the Lord’s Recovery and Our Present Need, ch. 2)
The 2026 International Memorial Day Blending Conference will take place in Dallas this weekend. This is one of the seven annual feasts in the Lord’s recovery. The general subject is “The Great Need for a New Revival.” All the saints are warmly invited to participate in person or by webcast.

Pray for the transmission of grace out from the throne to all the saints traveling from all over the world to attend and to the many saints who have volunteered to serve in some capacity at the conference. May this conference be a true memorial among us to the shame of God’s enemy and to the glory of God’s grace!
Los Angeles
“…The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever.” (Rev. 11:15)
With the ongoing burden of The Truth Sets US Free, our hope is that all of the saints in the church in LA would enter into a personal gospel living and pick up a burden to contact people. To encourage and develop our function in these matters, we have had three webinar presentations with practical handles to equip the saints. Recordings of the first two webinars, along with helpful gospel resources, are available online at www.churchinlosangeles.org/
All the saints are encouraged to become familiar with these webinars and resources. May we all pick up a burden for this city and have a heart for many to be saved and transferred to God’s kingdom.

• The speaking and hearing of His word to meet the present need of the His move in this region.

Italy – Prato Report
Last weekend, around 175 saints plus 15 children attended the first Lord’s table and taking of the ground of the church in Prato, Italy. Most of the older saints speak mainly Chinese, but the children all speak Chinese and Italian, with a few also able to speak some English.
Please pray for the brothers bearing responsibility that they take the saints on and bring them into the up-to-date way to meet and practice the church life.
CEEB Conference Report
Last weekend, 100 adults from Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Turkey, UK and the US gathered for the Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans Conference, held for the first time in Belgrade, Serbia.
