2025 June Semiannual training: Experiencing, Enjoying, and Expressing Christ (3)
”When we have problems in our· daily life, we do not have to a seek advice from others, because we have a spirit in us and the Lord as the Spirit dwelling in our spirit is very near to us. We can ask Him about everything, without any need to use the telephone or the fax machine, for· He can talk with us right within us. You can talk with Him and ·confer ,vith Him ‘in everything. The Lord’s Word says, ‘In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition ,vith thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God’ (Phil. 4:6). Hence, if you have some problem, you Just need to tell Him. He is right within you, and He is with you face to face. ‘The Triune God-the Father, the Son, and the Spirit is in us not to trouble us but to be our Paraclete, Comforter, and Supporter. I always pray, ‘O Lord, now I am going to take a walk. Support me, sustain me, and strengthen me.’ This is to drink the Lord. In this way I have no anxiety. When anxiety comes, you should say, ‘O Lord, this anxiety is Yours, not mine; I give it to You because You bear it for me.’ Thus, you receive the Lord’s element into you, and metabolism will work constantly in you. Consequently, what is expressed through you outwardly is Christ. This is to live Christ. Those who do not know this secret consider that to live Christ is a difficult thing. Actually, you just need to practice speaking with the Lord constantly; then spontaneously, you will live Christ” The Organic Aspect of God’s Salvation, pp. 54-55:
Phil. 4:6 In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
Phil. 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses every [man’s] understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
Please pray that the speaking from the recent semiannual training would penetrate the entire recovery in an unprecedented way to match the Lord’s present burden. Pray for the saints in all the churches to take Christ as their pattern in a subjective and experiential way. Pray that the One who not only set up the pattern but who Himself is the pattern would operate within all the saints as the indwelling God.
