Crystallization-study of Isaiah 2

He is the One who knows our inner being and our human situation. He knows our pain, disappointment, frustration, friction, and feelings. How intimate it is for Him to call us to Himself and say, “What do you want Me to do for you?” His heart is to serve us. We cannot serve Him unless we allow Him first to serve us. When we allow Him to serve us, He reproduces Himself in us and make us the same as He is, not only in life and nature but also on function. He will reproduce His serving heart and spirit within us so that we can serve Him and serve one another in the God of love. (Christ as The Servant of Jehovah, p. 103)

Basic Principles concerning the Eldership

We need to encourage the young saints, especially the young brothers, to study the Word diligently so that they will be prepared to take care of the churches in the future. As the Lord’s recovery spreads, the need for elders increases. We cannot pray, fellowship, and labor for the spread of the churches without considering this need. The young ones should spend much time studying the Word in order to be built up in the full knowledge of the truth. We must also encourage them to seek the Lord for their growth in life. If the young saints grow in a balanced way in life and truth, they will be well prepared to take care of the churches. …the strength of the eldership depends on life and teaching. (p 67)

Life-study of Mark

Have you seen what is revealed in Mark 8:27—9:13? Here we have a revelation of Christ’s Person and His death and resurrection. Oh, we all need to see this! I am concerned that some of us have not seen the crucial matters of Christ’s all-inclusive Person, His wonderful death, and His marvelous resurrection. If we see them, we shall say, “Amen! Amen to Christ! Amen to the death of Christ! Amen to the resurrection of Christ! Amen to my termination! Because I have been terminated, it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. Christ is the entire replacement in this universe. God does not want Moses, God does not want Elijah, and God does not want me in what I am. I say amen to the fact that God only wants Christ.” (Life-study of Mark, p. 236)

The Economy of God

The sense of life, therefore, is very much related to the fellowship of life. The fellowship of life helps us to realize the sense of life by bringing us into the presence of God, where we may enjoy the shining God as light. This shining makes us clear about everything. It penetrates into every corner and avenue of our being, bringing to us a very tender and keen sense. A slight mistake is immediately detected by this sense. The more we have the flowing of life, the more we are in the presence of God, and the more shining we will experience. The more we experience this shining, the more we will realize a keen and tender sense. It is by this sense that we can know God, His will, and His way. This sense searches and test everything. (The Economy of God, pp 150)

The Living that Fulfills God’s Eternal Purpose

We were originally created of clay, but one day the Lord put Himself into us as a new element in order that we may experience a metabolic change. This metabolic change needs not only the Lord as the new element to replace our old element, but also an environment of heat and pressure. Many times the Lord puts us into an environment of heat and pressure. We need a certain amount of burning and pressing; otherwise, we will remain created material that has not been transformed. In order to be transformed from clay into precious stones for God’s building, we must pass through a process of burning and pressing. We need not be afraid of this, but when we experience it, we should know where we are. (pp. 63)

The Living that Fulfills God's Eternal Purpose

The right track, therefore, is to take Christ as our life and everything and then to meet with all the seeking ones purely as a living, corporate expression of Christ. This will bring much blessing from the Lord to His people. The Lord will honor this, and all the positive things that were lost during the past generations will gradually be recovered and experienced by us. We have the assurance that in these days, before He comes back, the Lord will recover Christ as life and the church as His expression, not by a movement or a revival but by the fellowship of the Body of Christ and the current of life. (pp. 36)

The Importance of Living Christ by Walking According to the Spirit

To walk according to the spirit is to do everything in our daily life according to the spirit. We need to walk according to the spirit moment by moment, not only in big things but also in small things, such as writing a letter or talking with family at the dinner table. If we cannot do or say something according to the spirit, we should not do or say it. We must admit that we are short of such a living. To pray only during the meetings or when we face a great problem is not to walk according to the spirit. Our walking according to the spirit in our daily living should be like our breathing. If we do not live Christ or walk according to the spirit, our spiritual activities may be a performance. We should not act one way int the meetings and another way in our daily life.
