Experiencing and Enjoying the Divine Trinity in Full
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” (2 Cor. 13:14)
“But by the grace of God I am what I am…” (1 Cor. 15:10)
To enjoy the Divine Trinity in full is to participate in the love of God, the grace of Christ, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Second Corinthians 13:14…shows that the Divine Trinity is not for the doctrinal study of theology but for our experience and enjoyment….Love is God the Father, grace as the outflow of love is Christ the Son, and the fellowship is the transmission of the Holy Spirit to transmit what the Son is as grace and what the Father is as love. The Holy Spirit transmits the divine riches into our being, and this transmission is the fellowship. Today we have the Divine Trinity operating in us in such a wonderful way.
We have two circulations within us. One circulation is the circulation of blood within our physical body, and the other circulation is the circulation of the Divine Trinity in our spirit. Without either of these circulations we would die either physically or spiritually. Second Corinthians 13:14 gives us a detailed description of this inner, spiritual circulation. This circulation is the supply in our Christian life and church life….We must see that the entire church life depends on 2 Corinthians 13:14. It depends upon the love of the Father, the grace of the Son, and fellowship of the Spirit to flow as a current within our spirit. (CWWL, 1988, vol. 1, “Living in and with the Divine Trinity,” pp. 382-384)
May all the saints open to this transmission of the divine riches and exercise their spirit to participate in the Divine Trinity in full!
FTTA, FTTA-XB Gospel Trips & Ukraine
Due to the ongoing and changing situation in Eastern Europe, a number of trainees and serving ones from FTTA and FTTA-XB are traveling to Warsaw and Gut Elim to begin assisting the saints from Ukraine and the refugees in the region. As we all have been following the recent events unfolding in Europe, we have been impressed again with our need to cooperate with the Lord in prayer and by prayer.
Please continue to pray for the ruling of the heavens over the entire situation so that:
- The teams going out to proclaim the gospel among the refugees in Poland, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, and Romania will find many sons of peace who will receive the Lord and be gained for the church life.
- The saints in Ukraine and the refugees in the European countries will receive the supply of the resurrection life and will rise up to live and proclaim the gospel to their fellow Ukrainians.
- The tripartite being of the saints who are under attack, including the brothers fighting in the army, will be protected and preserved.
- Those who care for the Ukrainian refugees in Europe will enjoy the Lord as their bountiful supply of grace, wisdom, and endurance.
- Satan and the authority of darkness over Europe will be bound, and God’s move in His economy will advance
As the Lord leads, saints may give through the Church in Los Angeles designated for ‘Ukraine’.
Southern California College Conference Follow-up
Praise the Lord for His abounding grace! This past weekend, 70 of our students enjoyed seeing and experiencing “Abounding Grace!” at the Spring 2022 College Conference. Now we are looking to the Lord that the students would apply what they heard.
Please pray that our students would continue to experience grace as the academic quarter goes on—not only in the big things but also the small things—and be faithful ministers of grace this week to their classmates, friends, and family.
European Brothers’ Training
From April 13 to 15 the leading brothers in Europe will have a training at Bower House in London. The content will include videos of messages given at ITERO in Anaheim April 1 to 3, and fellowship about the Lord’s move in Europe. Please pray that all the brothers will receive the Lord’s timely speaking for the advancement of His economy in Europe.
London International Blending Conference
This annual conference will be at a hotel in London on Saturday and Lord’s Day, April 16 and 17. There will also be children’s and young people’s meetings. This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy being blended together with others while bearing various responsibilities. Please pray that all the saints in Europe will be strengthened and supplied by the Lord’s rich speaking to give the Lord their highest cooperation in the carrying out of His economy in these crucial days.
India
From April 4 to 24, FTTND trainees are participating in a three-week intensified propagation in New Delhi, including both campuses of Delhi University and various neighborhoods in the city. This propagation includes preaching the gospel on the campuses by speaking concerning the mystery of human life, door-knocking in the neighborhoods, and baptizing new contacts. There is a burden for more saints to function and coordinate with the trainees in the gospel move, and to invite new ones to read the Bible with us and usher them into the homes of the saints.
Please pray for the Lord to strengthen the tripartite beings of all the trainees and that they can learn to bear remaining fruit through prayer, the Spirit, and the word.
