Living and Serving according to the Heavenly Vision of God’s Economy

OPENING WORD OF THE PROPHESYING MEETING

Reading the verses in each day.

Reading the main points in the outlines.

Pray-reading the verses:

Eph. 5:26-27 That He might sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing of the water in the word, That He might present the church to Himself glorious, not having spot or wrinkle or any such things, but that she would be holy and without blemish.
Acts 26:16-19…For I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a minister and a witness…to whom I send you, to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light and from the authority of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me…I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision.

Word of Appetizer

What is the one thing, the unique thing, that should be focused on, stressed, and ministered in the Lord’s recovery?

It is the heavenly vision of the eternal economy of God; the central subject of the Bible is the economy of God, and the entire Bible is concerned with the economy of God. God’s eternal economy is for Him to become man that man might become God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead for the building up of the Body of Christ to consummate the New Jerusalem. Our becoming God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead was initiated by God the Father in eternity past by His choosing us to be holy, predestinating us unto sonship; the divine sanctification for the divine sonship is the center of the divine economy and the central thought of the revelation in the New Testament.

Spiritual Burden

Our becoming God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead was initiated by God the Father in eternity past by His choosing us to be holy, predestinating us unto sonship; the divine sanctification for the divine sonship is the center of the divine economy and the central thought of the revelation in the New Testament.

Acts 26:18 reveals the contents of our divine commission to serve according to the heavenly vision of God’s economy; we need to pray over these contents, asking the Lord to make them our experience and reality so that we can bring others into this experience and reality.

Concluding Word of the Prophesying Meeting

The Revelation of the Truth

The one thing, the unique thing, that should be focused on, stressed, and ministered in the Lord’s recovery is the heavenly vision of the eternal economy of God; the central subject of the Bible is the economy of God, and the entire Bible is concerned with the economy of God.

Our becoming God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead was initiated by God the Father in eternity past by His choosing us to be holy, predestinating us unto sonship; the divine sanctification for the divine sonship is the center of the divine economy and the central thought of the revelation in the New Testament.

Our being sanctified for the divine sonship ultimately consummates in the New Jerusalem as the holy city (Rev. 21:2, 10) and the aggregate of the divine sonship (v. 7); this is the ultimate consummation of God becoming a man in the flesh that man might become God in the Spirit to gain a great, corporate God-man (vv. 3,22) for the corporate expression, the glory, of the Triune God.

The Experience of Life

The divine, dispositional sanctification is carried out by Christ as the life-giving, sanctifying, and speaking Spirit. Christ as the life-giving Spirit sanctifies the church by cleansing her according to the washing of the water in the word; we are now in such a washing process in order that the church may be holy and without blemish. Day by day, morning and evening, we need to come to the Bible and be cleansed by the laver of the water in the word.

One thing that we always treasure is that the Lord still speaks to us personally and directly today; true growth in life depends upon our receiving the word directly from God; whenever He speaks, we realize His presence within us; Christ’s speaking is the very presence of the life-giving Spirit.

Practice and Application

Acts 26:18 reveals the contents of our divine commission to serve according to the heavenly vision of God’s economy; we need to pray over these contents, asking the Lord to make them our experience and reality so that we can bring others into this experience and reality.

We need to continually pray for a spirit of wisdom and revelation to understand and to see more and more of Christ, the Body of Christ, and the divine dispensing for the divine economy. We need to go to the Lord to receive a thorough forgiveness of all our sins.

We need to bring people into the enjoyment of the all-inclusive Christ in the church life so that they may enjoy Christ as we do and be sanctified dispositionally with the holy nature of God through the exercise of their spirit.
