The Compound Spirit applies the Killing of Christ’s Death to us for our Transformation

In order for us to be transformed, that is, to be transferred from the form of the old man to the form of the new man, we need to experience the killing of Christ’s death in the compound Spirit in our spirit. On one hand, we need to turn our heart to the Lord and […]

Apply the Death of Christ to our Situation and Speak to Christ to Drink Living Water

In Num. 20 we see that the people of Israel were thirsty, and Moses was told to speak to the rock so that water may flow; Christ as the spiritual rock follows us to give us living water to drink whenever we’re thirsty. The smitten rock is a type of Christ, and the water flowing […]

Deny the Self, Take up Your Cross, and Follow the Lord by Exercising Your Spirit

When the Lord shows us what is the greatest hindrance to the building up of His Body, we will truly see what the self is and how much it frustrates the Lord in building up His church. Under the divine light, as the Lord exposes our self in all its activities, manifestations, and utterances, we […]

One particular aspect of Christ’s all-inclusive death is that Christ died for us to be healed! “By whose bruise you were healed” (1 Pet. 2:24-25) – we have been healed by Christ’s bruise! We were dead (Eph. 2:1) but Christ’s suffering of death healed our death so that we may live in His resurrection. He […]

The self opposes the Body – we need to deny the self and apply the death of Christ by the Spirit to our self!

We have previously seen that the oneness of the Body of Christ is Christ Himself as the Spirit. We need to allow the Lord Jesus to mingle Himself with us – in order that we may be lowly and meek… only the lowly and meek can keep the oneness. Actually, only “the failures” among us […]
