There is a specific group of Psalms – from 120 to 134 – that is called, Songs of Ascents. These do not speak of the law but they relate to the matter of captivity. The law brings you to captivity if you try to keep it in yourself with your own strength; the people of […]
reaching the high peak of living in the reality of the Body of Christ by praying
What will bring the Lord back is a group of overcomers who live in the reality of the Body of Christ – they live a reproduction and a duplication of the life that the Lord Jesus lived when He was on earth. But where is such a living today on the earth? We can safely […]
this is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!
Praise the Lord – this is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it (Psa. 118:24)! This day is none other than the resurrection day, the Lord’s day, the day on which Christ resurrected and was set by God as the cornerstone for God’s building (Acts 20:7; 1 […]

We need to ask ourselves, How much do we live, serve, and do things in the resurrection life? We may have a good coordination with […]
the Spirit honors only what we do in, by, and through the resurrection life
We need to learn to turn to our spirit and first contact the Lord, be one with Him, and then do anything or say anything. Anything that is natural coming out of ourselves belongs to the old creation and is not pleasing in God’s sight.
