Learning to be Renewed in the Spirit of the Mind for Christ to Increase in Us

August 19, 2016 by aGodMan 3 Comments

When the life-giving Spirit, who is mingled with our regenerated spirit, spreads into our mind, this mingled spirit becomes the spirit of our mind; it is by this mingled spirit that our mind is renewed (Eph. 4:23). To be renewed in the spirit of our mind is inward and intrinsic; this renewing revolutionizes our logic, philosophy, thought, concept, and psychology (Rom. 12:2). Witness Lee

The practical way for us to experience Christ increasing in us and we decreasing is by having a renewed mind and a submissive will; the more we're renewed in the spirit of the mind and subdued in our will, the more Christ will grow in us and we will … [Continue reading]

The Growth in Life is Christ Wrought into us and Formed in us by Saturating Us

August 18, 2016 by aGodMan 7 Comments

As Christ is being formed in us, He makes His home in our hearts; He desires to saturate every part of our heart, our inward being, until He takes full possession of it. If we desire to grow in life by having Christ increase within us, we need to experience Christ in a full way (Phil. 3:7-12). Witness Lee

The growth in life is Christ wrought into us and formed in us until Christ is fully grown into us; He does this by making His home in our heart and by saturating every part of our heart with Himself until He takes full possession. Christ is … [Continue reading]

Growth in Life is not mere Change in Behavior but the Increase of Christ Within us

August 17, 2016 by aGodMan 6 Comments

We need a revelation to see that genuine growth in life is not a mere change in behavior or the improvement of ourselves but the increase of Christ within us (Eph. 1:17; 3:17). The work of religion is to improve the self, whereas the Lord’s desire is that we open ourselves to Him so that He may increase in us. Witness Lee

Spiritual progress and the growth in life is the increase of Christ within us; when Christ increases while we decrease, we grow with the growth of God for the building up of the church. But if there's no increase of Christ in us day after day, we … [Continue reading]

Spiritual Progress is the Increase of the Element of Christ within the Believers

August 15, 2016 by aGodMan 6 Comments

The first condition for spiritual progress in a believer is hunger (Luke 1:53). All spiritual progress depends on our hunger; in order to have sustained progress before the Lord, we need a sustained hunger (Matt. 5:6). Regeneration is free, but spiritual progress comes with a price; in order for a believer to make progress, he must pay a price (Rev. 3:18). 2016 Memorial Day Conference, msg. 5

It is good to have a balanced view of the increase of Christ it its two main aspects: the increase of Christ for the outward increase in number of believers, and the increase of the element of Christ within us for our spiritual progress and growth in … [Continue reading]

Small groups in the homes are in the nature of home nurturing, whereas joint meetings of the church and the ministry are in the nature of school education; in order for a church to go on in a good way, we must have small group meetings for home nurturing, and we must also have joint meetings to educate in the truth. Witness Lee

The book of Acts shows us not only a record of the way the church increased to be the increase of Christ on earth, but also the four main factors or means of the church's increase and spread: prayer, the Spirit, the Word, and the homes. First, the … [Continue reading]
