This is our Christian life and our church life – a life in which we daily learn – through many failures and some victories – to deny our natural life and live by the divine life. Once we received the Lord as our Savior and our life, He came into us as Another Life – […]
We abide in Christ as the vine, we are rooted in Him as the soil, and we take Christ as the Head!
The Word of God is so rich, so full of illustrations and examples of our organic union with the Lord, and also it is so encouraging! This morning I especially enjoyed these three aspects concerning our relationship with the Lord: In John 15 we see that we are branches in Christ the vine – we […]
when we enthrone the Lord in our being and in all things, the river of living water flows freely in us!
In the book of Revelation, towards the end, there’s a call for everyone who is thirsty to come and drink! Hallelujah, there’s a river flowing from the throne of God, and this river of living water flows to reach everyone in the New Jerusalem & it goes on to reach everyone on the earth! Here’s […]

The Body of Christ is Jesus living again in His members on earth – God mingled with man and living in man!
When we really touch the meaning of what the Body of Christ is, we will be changed in our entire being. The Body of Christ is a reality that affects our whole being once we see it! I really enjoyed the second message in the conference we just had last weekend in Holland, entitled, The […]
