“And his master became angry and delivered him to the torturers until he would repay all that was owed. So also will My heavenly Father do to you if each of you does not forgive his brother from your hearts” (Matt. 18:34-35).

“Moses, the man who was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and who was mighty in words and deeds (Acts 7:22), was now a little shepherd in the wilderness, a defeated and dejected man. One day, in the midst of his disappointment, God came. God appeared to Moses in a vision of a burning bush, a bush that burned without being consumed (Exo. 3:2, 16). Moses was surprised and turned aside to see this bush. It was as if God was saying to Moses, ‘Moses, you must be like this burning bush. Do not burn by yourself or act by yourself.’ ” (Witness Lee, Life-study of Genesis, p. 189, Living Stream Ministry)

This week we continue the series with fellowship from brother Ron Kangas responding to questions from working saints during a conference held in the Northeast of the United States in September 2019.

The subjective experience in dealing with the flesh is completely related to the Holy Spirit. A very major and basic work of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us is to work into us the fact that Christ has crucified the flesh on the cross. In other words, the work of the Holy Spirit is to have the cross on Calvary wrought into us to become the cross within us. Therefore, the subjective experience in dealing with the flesh is being executed by the Holy Spirit in us. (Witness Lee, The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1953, vol. 3, p. 376, Living Stream Ministry)

Dear brothers and sisters, our future is the Lord’s coming back. We are not here miserably longing for His return…We are awaiting the Lord’s coming back by daily experiencing His organic salvation… We cannot remain in the stage of regeneration; rather, we must cooperate with the Lord for Him to renew, sanctify, transform, conform, and glorify us so that God’s organic salvation may be accomplished in us for the fulfillment of His eternal economy. (Witness Lee, The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1994-1997, vol. 5, p. 488, Living Stream Ministry)

“Recently, I heard a saying that the working saints are the backbone of the church. I feel that this description is most appropriate. The working saints are the backbone of the church.

“The phrase ‘living to Him’ is difficult to translate. It does not mean to live for the Lord. It means to live unto Him. To live to Him means that we and the Lord are one. It is like a wife living to her husband in the marriage life. In such a way we live a life of living to the Lord and being one with Him.” (Witness Lee, Messages Given to the Working Saints, p. 89, Living Stream Ministry)

“We need to migrate to strategic cities in the United States and Europe for the spread of the Lord’s testimony. However, we should not carry out migrations in the way of a movement. Instead, we need to encourage the saints to receive a burden from the Lord to pray for the spread of His recovery so that the Lord may lead them to migrate to new localities in the move of His Body.” (Witness Lee, The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1981, vol. 1, p. 384, Living Stream Ministry)

Finally, be empowered in the Lord and in the might of His strength. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the stratagems of the devil, For our wrestling is not against blood and flesh but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenlies. Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6:10-13.

As believers who love the Lord and who are standing for His testimony, we must not be ignorant of the schemes of God’s enemy in his attacks on the church. In order to help educate and inoculate us against such attacks, the co-workers in North America have released a series of articles on ShepherdingWords.com, which expose the stratagems of the devil.  

This week, we have a narration of the article titled “A Warning about Rumors and False Witness” originally published on September 7th, 2024. In the Old and New Testament there are warnings against bearing false witness, spreading rumors, and evil speaking. In our daily life and especially on the internet through social media, the words that we speak and write may be easily amplified. As this article warns, we need to exercise great care in what we post, “like”, and share less we inadvertently bear false witness or spread rumors. 

May the Lord supply us through this speaking and equip us to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

“Now the Lord intends to use the United States as a center for the spread of the church life.

“The Lord will first recover the proper church life in the United States, and then He will use the United States as a central base from which to spread His recovery throughout the earth. I have no doubt that this is the Lord’s recovery. From the beginning, everything related to the Lord’s recovery in this country has been miraculous—it has not been man’s doing but the Lord’s.” (Witness Lee, The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1968, vol. 2, p. 593, Living Stream Ministry)

“The Lord will search us, purge us, cleanse us, anoint us, and speak to us in our morning watch. He will accomplish much with us in a living way.

We cooperate with Him by loving Him, consecrating ourselves to Him, and standing on the ground of our consecration to contact Him day by day.

“A proper Christian life has three aspects: fighting the good fight against Satan and his kingdom of darkness for the interests of God’s kingdom; running the course for the carrying out of God’s economy according to His eternal purpose; and keeping the faith for participation in the divine riches in God’s economy.

“A person who knows how to work will always seek to perfect others. This does not mean that he does less work. Rather, he works more than the rest of the saints, because most of his work is to perfect the saints. After he has served for three to five years, the saints can do and are doing whatever he can do. This is the way for us to build up the church.” (Witness Lee, The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1958, vol. 1, p. 131, Living Stream Ministry)

“The Lord is living and purposeful. But what is His ultimate move? To say that the Lord Jesus will come back to clear up things on earth is true… but clearing up things is not His ultimate move… God’s ultimate move is to work Himself—Father, Son, and Spirit—into us and to become our life, that we may live Him out and express Him as His Body, the church.” (Witness Lee, The World Situation and God's Move, p. 324, Living Stream Ministry)

In our spiritual experience there is a beginning, a course, and an ending, after which we experience another beginning with another course and another ending. This cycle repeats itself, and each repetition takes us forward. The beginning, course, and ending are a spiritual metabolism. This is also a law of revival. Every new beginning is a new revival and is followed by a course. When the course reaches its fullness, the experiences in that stage come to an end. Then another beginning will ensue with another course and another ending. This is the cycle of revival. (Witness Lee, The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1960, vol. 2, p. 384, Living Stream Ministry)

This week we conclude the series titled, “The New Revival,” with testimonies that followed brother Andrew Yu's speaking. This is part three of message five from a conference hosted by the church in New York City in November 2015.

“If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and are not practicing the truth” (1 John 1:6).

“This Greek verb [for practicing] denotes doing (things) habitually and continually by abiding (in the things); hence, it has the sense of practice. To practice the truth is to live the truth habitually, not merely to do it occasionally.” (Witness Lee, Holy Bible Recovery Version, 1 John 1:6, note 5, Living Stream Ministry)

This week we continue the series titled, “The New Revival,” with speaking from brother Andrew Yu on picking up seven “waypoints” as our new habits. This is part two of message five from a conference hosted by the church in New York City in November 2015.

The original message was spoken with side-by-side English to Chinese translation which was edited out for brevity, thereby affecting the cadence of the speaking. You can find the unedited version at: https://livingtohim.com/2016/02/conference-in-new-york-with-andrew-yu-november-2015/

“Eating, drinking, and sleeping cause our physical life to grow. Similarly, our spiritual life grows by eating, drinking, and sleeping, that is, by our being revived. In 2 Corinthians 12:10 the apostle Paul says, ‘I am well pleased in weaknesses...; for when I am weak, then I am powerful.’ Paul knew how…to touch the joy of Christ when he suffered. He also was able to apply the law of revival; hence, he was always being revived.” (Witness Lee, The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1960, vol. 2, p. 398, Living Stream Ministry)
