We stay on the way of life by loving the Lord to the uttermost, drawing others to run after Him, and by eating Jesus through pray-reading on the Word, musing on God’s word, and ministering the Word as the Spirit into others. As believers in Christ, those who have been grafted into Christ, we […]
Stay on the Line of Life by Depending on the Lord and Living by the Sense of Life
As believers in Christ, we must stay on the line of life, on the way of life, by depending on the Lord for everything and by living and serving according to the principle of life – not according to the principle of right and wrong. Before we were saved, we were on the line […]
Rejecting the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and Choosing the Genuine Good, God
The tree of knowledge of good and evil signifies Satan as the source of death to man, and it includes everything apart from God, behind which Satan can hide to bring in death; only God is the genuine good, and gaining God equals gaining the genuine good. Amen! As believers in Christ, we are […]
Choose to Partake of Christ as the Tree of Life to be Constituted with Him for His Expression

To live by faith, following in the steps of Abraham’s faith, we need to fight for the brother by interceding for them and ministering life to them; we minister life to others by shepherding others according to God, by cherishing and nourishing them. We need to realize that we are sons of Abraham, his […]
We Live by Faith by Fighting for the Brother as a Response to Christ’s Interceding
For us as believers in Christ to live by faith as Abraham did, we need to be those fighting for the brother as a response to Christ’s interceding for us and saving us in His life. On one hand, we need to follow in the steps of that faith of Abraham by living the […]
