The Recovery of the Priesthood for God’s Building
The subject of ITERO was The Recovery of the Priesthood for God’s Building. “To Him [Jesus Christ] who loves us and has released us from our sins by His blood and made us a kingdom, priests to His God and Father, to Him be the glory and the might forever and ever. Amen.” (Rev. 1:5-6)
A priest is one who receives God, who is filled, saturated, and permeated with God, and who has God flowing out of him so that he might be a living expression of God. As priests we first open ourselves to God in order that He may come into us to fill and flood us until He has taken possession of every part of our being. (msg 2, II, II.B)
Three Prayers from Southern California Blending (2)
During the March 14-15 conference, we were encouraged to pray regularly for three topics. It would be good if we mention these to the Lord every day. The first, in last week’s prayer, is from Ephesians 1:17-18. The second is Ephesians 3:14, 16-17a, “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.” This is to experience Christ for the church, that we may apprehend the vastness of Christ to be filled unto all the fullness of God (v. 3:18-19).
Bibles for America
On Monday, March 30, Bibles for America staff members begin a three-week distribution tour through the Midwest. During the tour, teams will give away free copies of the New Testament Recovery Version and ministry books by WN and WL at college campuses and other venues in 16 cities in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan.
Please pray that the Lord would go before the team in each city to prepare people’s hearts to receive the Word and the rich ministry of the age. May the Lord sow the seed abundantly in the Midwest!
UK Radio Victory
Premier Radio, which broadcasts Life-study of the Bible in the UK, was facing the possibility of losing its license. The Lord has answered the prayer of many churches and saints, and Premier’s license has been renewed until 2028. Praise our ascended Lord, who has given His recovery “an opened door which no one can shut” (Rev. 3:8)! Please continue to pray for the UK radio broadcast and for the shepherding of all the seeking listeners.
If you are burdened to give to support the radio broadcast, you can do so through the LME website at lordsmove.org/ukradio or by giving to the church. Please designate gifts for “UK radio work.”
Europe
The European brothers’ training is March 31 to April 2. Responsible brothers from throughout Europe will gather in London to review the messages given during the spring 2015 ITERO. Please pray that the revelation, burden, and life supply in these messages will be received by all the brothers, resulting in a strong advance of the Lord’s move and testimony in Europe.
The international blending conference is April 3 to 5 in London. Many saints from throughout Europe will gather for this time. Please pray for the release of the Lord’s rich word and for the blending of all the saints in the Lord’s present speaking for the building up of the one new man in Europe.
Africa
Dick Taylor left Monday for a three week trip to Africa. Friday night to Lord’s Day noon (April 5) there will be simultaneous conferences in Lagos, Nigeria and Accra, Ghana. Dick and Paul Nii-Aryee (an American living in Ghana) will be in Lagos; the subject of the conference is The Vision, Practice, and Building Up of the Body of Christ. Paul Cooke (from London) and Tim Knoppe (from US) will be in Accra. (James Lee was scheduled to go on this trip but could not due to poor health.)
Dick and Paul will return to Accra immediately after the conference. Lord’s Day evening through Tuesday noon (April 7) there will be a respeaking in Accra of the eight ITERO messages for all the brothers in West Africa.
Prague, Czech Republic
The topic of our third seminar, on 14 March, was “The Knowledge of Life,” based on the ministry book of the same title. About 27 adults attended, two for the first time (one a believer and one not yet a believer). We also had two returning contacts and one not-yet-believing husband of a sister. Seven saints from Slovakia came to stand with us.
In this seminar we got into the zoe life and the three lives and four laws. The atmosphere of the seminar was pleasant. When we were leaving the meeting place, the receptionist came to say goodbye and said that she likes our singing. We encouraged her to come in for awhile next time. We are grateful to the Lord and the Body for all the support.
