The Divine Dispensing of the Divine Trinity for the Divine Economy
Message Four
Experiencing the Divine Dispensing of the Divine Trinity by
Breathing the Spirit, Drinking the Water of Life, and Eating the
Bread of God
OPENING WORD OF THE PROPHESYING MEETING
Reading the verses in each day.
Reading the main points in the outlines.
Pray-reading the verses:
John 20:22 And when He had said this, He breathed into them and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit.
1 Cor. 10:3-4 And all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of a spiritual rock which followed them, and the rock was Christ.
John 6:57 As the living Father has sent Me and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also shall live because of Me.
Word of Appetizer
How do we experience the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity to be constituted with Him?
We all can experience the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity by breathing the Spirit, the holy breath, drinking the same spiritual drink, Christ as the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit, and eating Christ as the bread of God—the true bread, the heavenly bread, the bread of life, and the living bread—and become constituted with Him so that we can express Him and represent Him.
Spiritual Burden
We all can experience the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity by breathing the Spirit, the holy breath, drinking the same spiritual drink, Christ as the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit, and eating Christ as the bread of God—the true bread, the heavenly bread, the bread of life, and the living bread—and become constituted with Him so that we can express Him and represent Him.
The consummated Spirit as the breath is everything to us in living the Christian life; only the breath can be a Christian, and only the breath, the Spirit, can be an overcomer.
Concluding Word of the Prophesying Meeting
The Revelation of the Truth
The consummated Spirit was breathed as the holy breath into the disciples by the Son in resurrection.
If we would experience the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity, we all need to drink the same spiritual drink, Christ as the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit.
God’s economy is that we eat Christ as the bread of God and become constituted with Him in order to express Him and represent Him.
The Experience of Life
If we would experience the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity, we all need to drink the same spiritual drink, Christ as the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit; the spiritual drink, the living water, is the water of life in resurrection; when we drink the water of life in resurrection, we become persons in resurrection and of resurrection. By our drinking of Christ as the life-giving Spirit, God works Himself into us, for by drinking we take the Lord in, and He becomes one with us organically to be our life and constituent.
Practice and Application
God’s economy is that we eat Christ as the bread of God and become constituted with Him in order to express Him and represent Him.
Paul’s command to pray without ceasing implies that unceasing prayer is like breathing. To breathe is to call on the Lord’s name and to pray. By calling on the name of the Lord Jesus, we breathe the Spirit. The consummated Spirit as the breath is everything to us in living the Christian life; only the breath can be a Christian, and only the breath, the Spirit, can be an overcomer.
