In regards to practicing the morning revival, my wife and I do not have any forms – we are flexible in pray-reading. We can either pray first or read first and vice versa. That is no rigid way of having our revival. Feelings of satisfaction, joy and cleansing come in after each morning revival time. […]
Take time to Behold the Lord in the Morning: Don’t Seek a Feeling but simply Touch Him!
We must cooperate with God’s desire by practicing to give Him a free way to spread Himself into every part of our being. (The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1963, Vol. 1) How wonderful it is to give our dear Lord the first place in all things! God desires to have the preeminence, but He […]
Being Revived and Mingling our Praying with our Reading to Receive Light!

Loving God, Stopping ourselves, and Waiting on Him to Cooperate with God in Serving Him
After reading the story of David desiring to build God a house in 2 Sam. 7 we realize that God doesn’t want our initiation but only our cooperation; He wants us to cooperate with Him. God doesn’t need us to do anything for Him – He simply wants us to stop our opinions and ideas […]
