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 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.
  • The Lord will fully cover the travel, safety, security, and health of all those involved.

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:

  1. 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!
  2. 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.
  3. 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:

  1. All the saints to be washed in the water of the Lord's fresh speaking!
  2. 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!
  3. Our love for one another to increase so that we can be a testimony of oneness to all those around us!

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. 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 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 brothers who are fighting in the war will be preserved by the Lord in their tripartite being.

The Word of Christ Dwelling Richly in Us

"Then He opened their mind to understand the Scriptures." (Luke 24:45)

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God." (Col. 3:16)

To reconstitute the people of God is to educate them by putting them into the word of God so that they may be saturated with the word. As the word of God works within us, the Spirit of God, who is God Himself, through the word spontaneously dispenses God's nature with God's element into our being; in this way we are reconstituted. (December Semiannual Training, msg. 5, II.F.1-2)

The greatest need that must be met is to bring the saints in the Lord's recovery into the truth to carry the recovery on. The intrinsic element of the divine revelation must be wrought into and constituted into our being. After the truth gets into our memory, it becomes a constant and long-term nourishment; then we have an accumulation of the truth, and we are under the constant nourishment. (Msg. 11, III.C.1, D.1,3)

It is crucial to let the word of Christ enter into us, dwell in us, and replace our concepts, opinions, and philosophies. If the word of Christ is to make its home in us, we must give it the full liberty, freedom, and right. (LS of Colossians, pp. 247, 576)

May we continually seek the Lord's opening of our mind so that His word may dwell in us richly, causing the recovery to move onward. May all the truths which we have outwardly in the books be constituted into us inwardly for our nourishment, for our ministering to one another, and for more singing with grace in our hearts to God.

SoCal Spanish-speaking and YP Blending Conferences

The Southern California Spanish-speaking conference is this weekend, January 13 to 15 at the Ministry Conference Center (1200 N Hubbell Way, Anaheim). Simultaneously, there will be the Southern California Young People's Blending Conference.

Child care for K–6 will be provided only at the Church in Anaheim District 2 meeting hall; no child care will be provided at the MCC. English-speaking and Spanish-speaking saints are invited to attend all the meetings at the MCC; Chinese and Korean translation at the MCC will be provided only on Lord's Day.

May the Lord super abundantly pour out His rich blessing on these special conferences!

The primary burden of this week is to give all participants a taste of serving the Lord full-time, not only in the outward matters but also the inward reality. Please pray for the Lord to bless this whole week, and pray that they would be open to the Lord's special training and speaking.

Hall 5 Mini Retreat

This weekend, January 13 to 15, the saints in Hall 5 are having a local mini retreat with a series of gatherings at the meeting hall and nearby venues on the Westside.

Being Reconstituted with God's Word to Be God's Testimony

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly…" (Col. 3:16)

"That He might sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing of the water in the word, that He might present the church to Himself glorious, not having spot or wrinkle or any such things, but that she would be holy and without blemish." (Eph. 5:26-27)

God's intention with Israel was to have on earth a divinely constituted people to be His testimony—a people reconstituted with the word of God. After the return from captivity, the people of Israel were still unruly, for they had been born and raised in Babylon and had become Babylonian in their constitution. There was the need of teaching and reconstitution to bring the people of God into a culture that was according to God, a culture that expressed God; this kind of culture requires a great deal of education.

Ezra brought the people back to the Word of God so that they might be re-educated and reconstituted with the heavenly truths in the divine Word. As a result of being reconstituted through the ministry of Ezra, Israel (in type) became a particular nation, a nation sanctified and separated unto God, expressing God. (December Semiannual Training, msg. 5, II.A,B,C,E,G)

As we pray for the Lord's word and burden released in the December Semiannual Training to operate prevailingly in all the saints and churches, let us pray specifically that we would begin this year with a renewed appetite for the Word of God. May the Lord gain us as Ezras—priestly teachers who contact God, who are saturated with God, who are one with God, who are mingled with God, who are filled with God, and who are skillful in the Word of God—for His testimony and glory.

2023 North America College Training

We joyfully announce that registration is now open for this summer's North America College Training! This training occurs once every four years.

December Semiannual Training

"And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, Oh that You would richly bless me and enlarge my border, and that Your hand would be with me, and that You would so keep me from evil that it would not grieve me! And God caused what he had requested to come to pass." (1 Chron. 4:10)

This week's Semiannual Training is being held in-person in Anaheim and by webcast in Los Angeles and around the world. This training on Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther will be the completion of the crystallization-study of the Bible.

Please pray for the release of the Lord's timely word and burden in this training. Pray for the Lord to richly anoint the release and receiving of His word and take a further step in His move on earth to build up His Body and prepare His bride for His return.

Lastly, in 2022, 1.4 million people visited the BfA Blog from all over the world.

Living an Overcoming Life by Reigning in Life

"And made us a kingdom, priests to His God and Father, to Him be the glory and the might forever and ever. Amen." (Rev. 1:6)

"For if, by the offense of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ." (Rom. 5:17)

The genuine Christian life is the life of an overcomer, and all the overcomers in the New Testament should be kings who have received the abundance of grace [God Himself as our all-sufficient supply for our organic salvation] and the gift of righteousness [God's judicial redemption applied to us in a practical way] to reign in life.

If we have not yet reached the level of a king in our Christian life, we are still below the proper standard. We may say that we enjoy Christ, but to what degree, to what extent, do we enjoy Christ? Our enjoyment of Christ may be only "one-inch high," but Christ is unlimited. Our enjoyment of Christ should come up to the kingship level. We need to receive grace upon grace to such an extent that grace reigns in us so that we can be good stewards of the varied grace of God. (Crystallization-study of 1 and 2 Kings, msg. 12, I, B, C)

May we continue to upgrade our enjoyment of Christ so that it would be up to the proper standard—the kingship level—and He would have a way to come back!

December Semiannual Training

Next week's Semiannual Training will be held in-person in Anaheim from December 26 to 31 and by webcast in Los Angeles and around the world. This training on Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther will be the completion of the crystallization-study of the Bible.

It is only by having the divine truth in the Word thoroughly wrought into us that we can live and magnify Christ in our daily life, preach the gospel to the unbelievers, and present the truth and minister life to the seeking believers, thereby becoming the prevailing testimony of Jesus, the living Body of Christ. (From June 2022 issue of LSM's digital newsletter, "Having This Ministry…")

Please pray for the release of the Lord's timely word and burden in this training. Pray for the Lord to richly anoint the release and receiving of His word and take a further step in His move on earth to build up His Body and prepare His bride for His return.

FTTA and FTTA-MA Graduations

This Saturday, December 24 at 9:30 am, the graduation meeting for the 2022 Fall Class of the FTTA, including a recognition of the FTTA-XB (Boston Extension) trainees, will be held at the Ministry Conference Center on the LSM campus. This meeting will also be streamed live at http://www.ftta.org.
In the afternoon, beginning at 3:00 pm, the graduation meeting for the FTTA-MA (Middle-age) will be held at 1853 W Ball Rd in Anaheim. This meeting will also be streamed live on Zoom.
Please pray for the Lord's leading of:

  • all these trainees—23 FTTA, 4 XB, and 25 MA—to follow the Lamb wherever He may go;
  • some to join in His move in one of the GTCA cities and cities with new campus teams;
  • many college graduates, young working saints, and middle aged saints to answer God's call to go to the training next term.

Bibles for America

Our hearts are full of thanks to the Lord for all He has done through BfA this year. By the Lord's mercy, we've been able to give away more Bibles this year than ever before. With the generous support of our donors, we reached a wonderful milestone: in August, we gave away our 2 millionth Bible! Furthermore, since April of this year, we've been giving away the Basic Elements of the Christian Life to US residents. Lastly, in 2022, 1.4 million people visited the BfA Blog from all over the world.

Please pray that every person who has received a Bible over the past 22 years would be fed and nourished by the Word of God. Also pray that all the blog visitors would find answers to their questions, be nourished with God's Word, and continue to grow in the divine life of God.

Enjoying Christ on the Genuine Ground of Oneness

"Where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free man, but Christ is all and in all." (Col. 3:11)

"Being diligent to keep the oneness of the Spirit in the uniting bond of peace: one Body and one Spirit, even as also you were called in one hope of your calling." (Eph. 4:3-4)

We all must learn that in this universe God has chosen only one place, and that place is the church. God requires us to go to this place He has chosen. Spiritually speaking, we must destroy every place other than the church and every name other than the name of Christ. We must destroy everything that damages the oneness of the one new man. Then we will simply be in the church life enjoying Christ as the riches of the good land. As we enjoy Him with God, we will be planted in the house of the Lord, we will grow, and we will flourish.

The genuine oneness—the oneness according to the nature of God—is an all-inclusive, comprehensive oneness that includes all positive things. All the godly things and all the spiritual riches are ours on the genuine ground of oneness.

On the one hand, we must admit that we are still quite short and have a long way to go. On the other hand, we can testify that the Lord's riches surely are to be found in His recovery! (CWWL, 1979, vol. 2, "The Genuine Ground of Oneness," pp. 288-289, 243, 330)

Hall 2 Oak Glen Retreat

This weekend, December 16 through 18, over 100 saints and children of all ages from the Valley will head to Oak Glen Christian Conference Center for an intimate time of loving the Lord. The general theme of the time will be "Love Is the Most Excellent Way."

Please pray for a sweet time of blending and that we all would enter into the reality of loving the Lord, loving one another, and loving others. Also pray for the saints to be refreshed for a new start with the Lord in 2023.

Belgium

There will be a conference in Brussels, Belgium this weekend, December 16 to 18. Please pray for the release of the Lord's rich word to all the saints and for the blending of the saints for the reality of the Body of Christ.

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 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.
  • Saints in all countries involved 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.

Vietnam

Pray for the ministry of the age to spread to the whole country and gain good materials for the building up of the Body through the distribution of seven Rhema books.

Eswatini

Eswatini, formerly called Swaziland, is one of the smallest countries in Africa bordered by South Africa and Mozambique. The Lord has been moving swiftly in this country this year. One family from Asia migrated to the capital, Mbabane, for work, and this has strengthened the church life. Furthermore, some students, having touched the church life abroad, have returned to Eswatini as active participants. As a result, the number of saints in the church life has grown from a mere handful to 25, though the table meeting has not yet been established. The frequent traffic and blending with saints from South Africa has also been a source of blessing and encouragement.

Please pray that the Lord would establish the existing saints in Eswatini and release their function gradually by strengthening their life, vision and burden. For His purpose, also pray for more saints to visit and even to consider migrating there.

Reaching the High Peak of God's Eternal Economy by Praying

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him and dine with him and he with Me." (Rev. 3:20)

"And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him a hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads." (Rev. 14:1)

In the book of Revelation what the Lord wants and what the Lord will build up is Zion, the overcomers. This is the intrinsic reality of the spiritual revelation in the holy Word of God. We surely need to be desperate to pray at any cost and to pay the cost just as the apostle Paul did.

There is no other way to reach the high peak of God's eternal economy, the reality of the Body of Christ, except by praying. Our becoming the overcomers as the reality of the Body of Christ to be the bride of Christ will close this age, the age of the church, and will bring Christ as the King of glory back to take, possess, and rule over this earth with His overcomers in the kingdom age. (CS 1 and 2 Kings, msg. 10, II.B, E)

Semiannual Video Training

For saints in Los Angeles and Santa Clarita, the firm registration deadline for the upcoming Semiannual Video Training is this Lord's Day, December 11 ($130). Information and registration are at http://tinyurl.com/wintertrainingla.

This training will be a crystallization-study of Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther. In preparation, saints are encouraged to read the Recovery Version text with footnotes and the Life-studies.

Pray for as many saints as possible to be released and available to attend. May the Lord grant us to treasure these trainings and seize every opportunity to attend them not only to see the intrinsic essence of the divine revelation but also to serve as a proper audience for the unhindered release of the crystals in the Word of God.

UCLA Winter Blending Trip

From December 10 to 13, 24 saints from UCLA (18 students, 6 serving ones) will travel to Boise, Idaho to blend with the saints there. Please pray that everyone would enjoy the reality of the one Body, get out of their comfort zone to blend with others, and experience the all-fitting life during their travels.

Liverpool, United Kingdom

Following much prayer, fellowship, and recent migrations, according to the Lord's arrangement, the first Lord's table in Liverpool will take place this weekend, December 11. The saints there are full of joy that the Lord is gaining another city for His testimony, and they exercise their spirit of faith to believe that the Lord will continue to grow, increase, and spread in the UK and Europe for the glory, honor, and praise of the Triune God! Please pray for a strong start and healthy continuation of the church in Liverpool.

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 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.
  • Saints in all countries involved 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 Rhema readers who are open to this ministry and seeking the Lord; may the Lord speak to them continually, save them from religion, bring them to participate in the church life and perfect them.

Zambia

The church life in Zambia started in 2002 through the visitation of saints from South Africa. In the past few months the Lord has intensified His move through the stay of two brothers from Asia who have labored to shepherd, establish, and perfect the saints.

Through the saints' enjoyment and functioning, there has also been a significant increase in the number of new ones. While about 41 saints gather regularly on the Lord's Day, another 70 seeking ones also participate in the church life. Most gatherings take place in the capital city of Lusaka, as well as in Livingstone, a border town next to Victoria Falls.

Experiencing the Divine Dispensing of the Divine Trinity

"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." (2 Cor. 13:14)

"Blessed be the Lord, who day by day loads us with good; God is our salvation." (Psa. 68:19)

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 is triune so that He can dispense Himself into us, work Himself into us, for us to enjoy so that we can be built up to be the Body of Christ and prepared to be the bride of Christ for His second coming when the kingdom of the world becomes the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ to reign forever and ever.

As believers in Christ, we simply need to love he Lord and keep ourselves open to Him, giving Him every opportunity to do everything He wants to do, and we need to be satisfied with a life of ordinary days in the regular and normal experiences in the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity according to the miraculous normality of the divine economy. (2022 Thanksgiving Conference, Key Statements 4, 3)

Please pray that the Lord's up-to-date speaking in the Thanksgiving Conference will result in the saints' uplifted and intensified experience of the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity for the divine economy in the building up of the Body and the preparation of the bride for the Lord's coming.

The Glory of God and Economy of God

"And the glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, even as We are one." (John 17:22)

"When Christ our life is manifested, then you also will be manifested with Him in glory." (Col. 3:4)

The glory of God is intrinsically related to the economy of God. God's eternal goal is to bring His many sons into glory for the eternal corporate expression—the New Jerusalem. God has predestinated us to obtain His glory so that we may express Him; thus, the goal of God's predestination is our glorification. Through the gospel of the glory of God, God has called us by and into His eternal glory.

As we behold and reflect the glory of the Lord, we are being transformed into the Lord's image from glory to glory. God the Father is moving within us as the God of all grace so that we may participate in His eternal glory and even become the glory of God. The glory of God in the economy of God involves the high peak of the divine revelation—God becoming man so that man may become God in life, nature, and function but not in the Godhead. (CS 1 & 2 Kings, msg. 9, IV, A-B, E, G-I)

FTTA

The application deadline for the Spring 2023 term of the Full-time Training in Anaheim is Wednesday, November 30. Please pray for many college graduates, young working saints, and middle aged saints to answer God's call to go to the training next term.

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 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.
  • Saints in all countries involved 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.

Botswana

The church life in Botswana began in 2014. Currently, there are 20 saints enjoying the church life. Five of them have completed two years of the Full-time Training in Pretoria, South Africa. The saints in the capital, Gaborone, have been endeavoring to practice the God-ordained way, and about 15 new ones are being shepherded regularly. At the end of August, 50 locals returned from Israel, where they had some contact with the saints; 10 of them are now receiving ministry portions and open to further contact.

The Lord has also blessed the translation work of the ministry into the local language, Setswana. Two booklets have been completed (The Basic Elements of the Christian Life, Vol. 1 & 2), and The All-Inclusive Christ is being translated. Please pray that the Lord will establish a strong, bright and shining lampstand in the city of Gaborone and bring all the new ones into the church life.

Growing into a Holy Temple in the Lord

"Out from whom all the Body, being joined together and being knit together through every joint of the rich supply and through the operation in the measure of each one part, causes the growth of the Body unto the building up of itself in love." (Eph. 4:16)

"In whom all the building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord." (Eph. 2:21)

In Christ, who is the cornerstone, "all the building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord." Since the building is living, it is growing because it is organic. This building is growing into a holy temple, a holy dwelling place of God. This indicates that the holy temple is a living building. Apparently, growth and building are separate things; actually, the building of the house is the growth of the Body. The growth of the Body depends on the growth of God, the addition of God, the increase of God, within us. For God to give us growth actually means that He gives us Himself. The more God is added to us, the more growth He gives.

The threefold God—God the Father, the Son, and the Spirit—is dispensing Himself into us as life and as our life supply. As long as the processed and consummated Triune God is dispensing Himself into us as life, we are nourished and we grow. In the churches we should care for the genuine growth through the dispensing of the divine life. (CS 1 & 2 Kings, msg. 8, III, C, 1-2, 4.a, 4.b(1)-(2), 5.a-c)

Thanksgiving Conference

The general subject of this weekend's Thanksgiving Conference in Washington, DC is "The Divine Dispensing of the Divine Trinity for the Divine Economy." For the church in Los Angeles, we will gather by languages on Zoom and/or in-person. Details will be communicated by hall.

Let us prepare ourselves for this upcoming time of ministry and sanctify these days for the hearing of faith among us. Pray for the full release of the Lord's word and burden during this weekend. May the Lord bless His recovery through His speaking and dispensing of Himself more into us to accomplish the goal of His eternal economy, the New Jerusalem.

Southern California College Conference

Thank you for your prayers for our second and final college conference, which took place at Oak Glen this weekend. Over 200 saints gathered from colleges across Southern California (including UCLA, CSUN, and LA community colleges), as well as some traveling from the Central Coast. From LA, 62 saints participated, including students, recent college graduates, trainees, and working saints. The weekend was full of God's appearing! All who participated certainly received a fresh infusion of faith.

Please pray that everyone who attended would continue steadfastly in what they saw and heard. May the God of glory appear to each one daily and infuse them with Himself as faith through His Word!

FTTA

The application deadline for the Spring 2023 term of the Full-time Training in Anaheim is Wednesday, November 30. Please pray for many college graduates, young working saints, and middle aged saints to answer God's call to go to the training next term.

  • The tripartite being of saints in besieged cities will be protected and preserved for the Lord's interests.

  • The enemy will be bound in his attack on the Lord's interests in Russia, Ukraine, and Europe.
