The Need for a New Revival
To realize that we are God-men, born of God and belonging to God’s species, is the beginning of the God-man living (message 4, outline, I.E).
The new revival is to constitute us to live Christ always, in every place, at all times, with all kinds of people, and in all circumstances. This is not a once-for-all revival; it requires our constant attention to the One who lives the life of a God-man as the Spirit living in us and through us.
Ephesians 3:14, 16-17 “For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit into the inner man, that Christ may make His home in your hearts through faith…”
National College Training, “Come, Lord Jesus!”
The National College Training is July 12-18 on the University of Illinois campus in Urbana-Champaign (halfway between St. Louis and Chicago). There are 1780 registered; a one-minute summary of where they are from is at https://youtu.be/Meeq7I1wIb8. The goal of this training is to raise up a generation of age turners who will bring the Lord back. “Come, Lord Jesus!” (Rev. 22:20)
An invitation to pray for this training is at http://beseeching.org/prayer-for-college-training/. May we allow the Lord to move in an unprecedented way through our prayer!

Ask the Lord to continue supplying the traveling brothers in all three parts of their being so that He may richly supply all these churches for their building up.

Prayer, Week of May 31, 2015
The Need for a New Revival
God needs a corporate people to be raised up by His grace through the high peak of the divine revelation to live a life according to this revelation. A revival is the practice, the practicality, of the vision we have seen (message 3, outline I. and I.A).
God brings us into experience through revelation. John 14:19b, “you behold Me; because I live, you also shall live.” Lord, keep us beholding You!
“We should all declare that we want to live the life of a God-man. Eventually, the God-men will be the victors, the overcomers, the Zion within Jerusalem. This will bring in a new revival which has never been seen in history, and this will end this age”—Life-study of 1 and 2 Chronicles, p. 28. (message 3, outline IV.)
National College Training, “Come, Lord Jesus!”
The National College Training is July 12-18 on the University of Illinois campus in Urbana-Champaign (halfway between St. Louis and Chicago). An invitation to pray for this training is at http://beseeching.org/prayer-for-college-training/.

Chicago
The church in Chicago recently ordered a large number of BfA gospel tracts, product offer cards, Bibles, and books as part of a burden to practice more regular gospel outreach. Each week, the saints spend an hour to exercise the priesthood of the gospel by speaking to people in the community and sharing the free materials with them.
Please pray that the Lord would grace the saints and sustain them as they go forth each week. Pray also that the Spirit would prepare many people’s hearts to receive the free materials and to be open to the speaking of the saints. May the Lord bless the church in Chicago and may He continue to bring all the churches in the US into the priesthood of the gospel!
Australia
Lord’s Day, May 31, Dick Taylor, James Lee, and Craig Birchler departed to Australia. The National Serving Ones Training will begin this Friday and continue through next week Tuesday. This will be a re-speaking of the spring ITERO plus fellowship times with small groups of responsible saints. The subject is The Recovery of the Priesthood for God’s Building.
Ask the Lord to grant salvation from any form of clergy-laity for more recovery of the practice of the priesthood in Australia.
Also ask the Lord to richly supply the traveling brothers and to flow through them for the building up of every church in Australia.
Krakow, Poland
Since the beginning of this year there has been a positive response to literature distribution in Krakow. These distributions are conducted by coordination of saints from multiple churches in Poland. A one-page report is at https://churchinlosangeles.org/prayer/. These saints request our prayer for
- the openness and the willingness of literature recipients for further meetings and that some may become the seeds for the church life here;
- obtaining a permit to legally set the distribution table in a strategic location in Krakow;
- the coordination and participation of the saints from different localities in Poland for further distributions and care of literature recipients.
- the migration of one or two families, with some serving saints, to Krakow in order to strengthen the direct care for believers in Krakow who have received literature or otherwise contacted the recovery.

Prayer, Week of May 24, 2015
The Need for a New Revival
Revival is not an emotional stir. Rather, it is an inward energizing by life as a result of seeing God’s economy. Excitement is temporary; we need a clear, solid seeing. This seeing strengthens us within. May we forget the things behind and stretch forward, crying out for this revival, which will complete God’s economy and end this age.
Don’t be content with understanding and agreeing. We need to be captured and possessed by the vision in a way that changes our being and our living.
“Not that I have already obtained or am already perfected, but I pursue, if even I may lay hold of that for which I also have been laid hold of by Christ Jesus.”
(from the opening word of Memorial Day conference message 2)
Sixth Grade Baptisms
Baptisms will be Lord’s Day afternoon, May 31. Baptisms for halls 1 and 4 will be at hall 1; those for halls 2, 3, and 5 will be at Haskell. The young believers to be baptized are:
Hall 1: Phoebe Ahn and Stacey Choi
Hall 2 Ethan Chan, Juan Kelly, Abraham Orona, Christopher Paik, Sherlock Quintero-Escamilla
Hall 3: David Hong
Hall 4: Karissa Ho
Hall 5: Jachin Chyn
We pray that each of these sixth graders would experience a definite exodus from the bondage of slavery and into the realm of freedom in Christ.
Campus Teams Reunion
Wednesday, May 27 through Saturday, May 30 a good number of saints from around the US and even the world will be gathered together in Irving, TX to fellowship about the Lord's move on the college campuses. The title of this time is Perfecting Our Students for the Increase and Building Up of the Church. Please pray for:
- The fresh imparting of a renewed and uplifted vision concerning the work on the campuses;
- The blending of all those laboring on the campuses to carry out the Lord's one work on this earth;
- The Lord to go on even further through this time to solidly gain a flock of college students from many campuses who will turn the age and bring the Lord back;
- Safe travel, health, and the binding of any of the enemy's frustrations.
FTTA Boston
Twenty-six trainees (including two from L.A.) are graduating from the FTTA Boston extension, but only 17 have applied to begin the fall term. Lord, increase the number of trainees in Boston!
Thessaloniki, Greece
There will be a conference here May 29 to 31. For several months we have been meeting almost daily with our contacts and feel that the Lord is making progress in each one. We hope that the conference twill be the time they come fully into the recovery. Please pray that:
- all the dear ones we have been contacting here would be able to attend every meeting. Our experience has been that when there is a larger gathering of the saints, there is much encouragement and further revelation for those who have not been able to participate in a meeting larger than in our living rooms.
- saints from throughout the recovery will attend to support, supply, and manifest the fullness of the One who fills all in all.
- saints from the surrounding countries who are also in smaller, isolated situations would also be able to attend for the mutual support and blending together.
- every practical detail would be under the Lord’s anointing.
We’re very thankful for all that the Lord has done, is doing, and will do here for His move through your prayers. We can’t imagine what it would be like here without them. Thank you for standing with us!
Czech Republic
Please pray for the ongoing monthly seminars in the Czech Republic.
Nepal
