The Lord Jesus promised the disciples that He will send the Spirit of reality as another Comforter (see John 14:15-16, 26; 15:26; 16:7-8, 13), and after His resurrection He came among His disciples and breathed into them saying, Receive the Holy Spirit (John 20:22). The expected Spirit in John 7:39 and the promised Spirit in […]
The Spirit of Jesus Christ who “was not yet” in John 7:39 is Our Bountiful Supply Today!
We praise the Lord for the truth in the Bible and for the recovery of the proper interpretation of the truth concerning the Spirit as the consummation of the Triune God. God became a man, lived a perfect human life on earth, died on the cross, and entered into resurrection to become “the Spirit” which […]
The Triune God Went Through a Process Economically and Became “the Spirit” (John 7:39)
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Heb. 13:8), and with Him there is no change (Mal. 3:6; Num. 23:19). However, in the Gospel of John 1:14, we see that the Word – who was with God and who was God – became flesh. In His essence, God cannot change and will not […]

The Mending Ministry is of Life: Christ is our Life Personally and Intimately!
John the Apostle had a mending ministry of life – the way he mended the church and the situation among the believers was by presenting Christ as life to them. What we need in order to be mended by the Lord for His building is not outward correction or self-improvement but life, the divine life. […]
John’s Ministry was a Mending Ministry (from a Son of Thunder to a Person of Life)
In a real and practical sense, the New Testament ministry is the completing ministry of Paul and the mending ministry of John. Peter, Jude, Luke, James, Mark, and others had also their portion, but the main ones are Paul with his completing ministry and John with his mending ministry. Paul unveiled to us the great […]
The New Man is Perfected Through the Growth in Divine Life of All the Believers
Our most desperate need in God’s eyes today is to grow in life. There are millions of believers on the earth today, but where is the built-up Body of Christ? There are so many genuine Christians, but where is the one new man? Who takes Christ as their life and person? Who is paying attention […]
