Living in and with the Divine Trinity
“The water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into eternal life.” (John 4:14b)
“I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5)
To live in the Divine Trinity is to abide in Him, to remain in Him, to dwell in Him as our home. To live with the Divine Trinity is for Him to abide in us so that we may have His presence, His person, with us for our enjoyment. To live with the Divine Trinity is to have the resurrected Christ living in us. Resurrection means that everything is of God and not of us, that God alone is able and we are not able, and that everything is done by God, not by ourselves.
We need to pray that the Spirit of reality would guide us into all the reality of the divine economy with the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity in the divine move and in our experience. We need to be those who live in and with the Divine Trinity, having Him as the very substance and element of our living. (Thanksgiving Conference, Key Statements 1 and 2; msg. 1, III)
Please pray that the Lord’s hand will follow His word spoken in this conference to gain a people in His recovery who have the full experience and enjoyment of living in and with the Divine Trinity.
Endeavoring in Fruit-bearing
“You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and I set you that you should go forth and bear fruit and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He may give you.” (John 15:16)
Pray that all the saints would become endeavoring in fruit-bearing, redeeming their time by getting companions, praying for their relatives and acquaintances, writing to them, making appointments, and going to visit them. (Beseeching.org, Day 180)
SoCal Chinese-speaking Gospel Meeting
On Saturday, December 11, there will be a Chinese-speaking gospel meeting for all the churches in Southern California. Please pray for the saints’ contacting of their relatives and acquaintances to invite them to this meeting. Pray according to the desire of our Savior God that all men would be saved and would come to the full knowledge of the truth.
Church in Los Angeles
“Though I have many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink, but I am hoping to be with you and to speak face to face that our joy may be made full.” (2 John 12)
As we continue our current transition toward in-person gatherings as the church in Los Angeles in our respective meeting places, let us look to the Lord for doing so safely without fear or anxiety. Let us continue to pray for one another and for more saints to be shepherded back to the enjoyment of in-person meetings and “face-to-face” fellowship. May the Lord gain our true worship and receive all the glory!
