Living Stream Ministry offers two series of free eBooklets: Nuggets and Gems from the Bible and Essential Classic Booklets. All these eBooklets are free to download and share, with the hope that many will join them in spreading these riches.
A suggested eBooklet for you to read and share with someone else this week is The Condition And Requirements for Entering into the Kingdom of God. "In this booklet compiled from Life-study of Luke, Witness Lee considers the Lord Jesus’ teaching in Luke 18:9-30 about the entrance into the kingdom of God. 'What is covered in these verses may be considered the condition and requirements for entering into the kingdom of God. Here the Lord mentions three steps: first, to humble oneself before God as a sinner, realizing the need of God’s propitiation (vv. 9-14); second, to be like a little child, without any preoccupying concept (vv. 15-17); and third, to follow the Savior by overcoming being occupied by riches and all other material matters (vv. 18-30). Let us consider each of these aspects of the Lord’s teaching.'”
Also, at the Rhema Literature Distributors website you can download the three volumes of the Basic Elements of the Christian Life, which include eleven short publications that everyone should read and then share with others.
EXCERPTS FROM THE MINISTRY
THE MINGLED SPIRIT FOR THE CHURCH LIFE
"In the book of Ephesians there is great emphasis on the mingled spirit, the human spirit mingled with the divine Spirit. Ephesians 1:17 says, “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of Him.” Actually, the spirit in this verse is our regenerated spirit indwelt by the Spirit of God. It is the human spirit mingled with the Holy Spirit. Such a spirit is given to us by God so that we may have wisdom and revelation to know Him and His economy. Without the Holy Spirit our spirit cannot be a spirit of wisdom and revelation. But as soon as the Holy Spirit is mingled with our spirit, our spirit becomes a spirit of wisdom and revelation.
In 2:22 Paul again refers to the mingled spirit: “In whom you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in spirit.” The spirit here is the mingled spirit, the believers’ human spirit indwelt by God’s Holy Spirit. God’s Spirit is the indwelling One, not the dwelling place. The dwelling place is our spirit. God’s Spirit dwells in our spirit. The Holy Spirit is, therefore, the indwelling One, not the indwelt One. The dwelling place of God is in our spirit, the human spirit mingled with the Holy Spirit.
In 3:5 Paul says that the mystery of Christ “has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in spirit.” The spirit here is once again the mingled spirit. When our spirit is mingled with the divine Spirit, our spirit becomes the organ in which the mystery of Christ is revealed. In 3:16 Paul speaks of the inner man. The inner man is our regenerated spirit. The only way man’s spirit can be regenerated is through having the Spirit of God come into it. Hence, the inner man in this verse also denotes the human spirit mingled with the Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 4:23 says, “And are renewed in the spirit of your mind.” The spirit in this verse is the regenerated spirit of the believers mingled with the indwelling Spirit of God. Such a mingled spirit spreads into our mind and thus becomes the spirit of our mind. The human spirit can be the renewing spirit only by being mingled with the Holy Spirit. On the one hand, the spirit here is the spirit of the mind, but, on the other hand, it is the renewing spirit. This indicates that it is a matter of the mingled spirit. The human spirit, not the Holy Spirit, is the base.
In 5:18 Paul exhorts us to be filled in spirit. Certainly, he means that we should be filled in our spirit with the Holy Spirit. In 6:18 Paul charges us to pray at every time in spirit. According to the context, the spirit here also refers to the human spirit mingled with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Word which we are to take in spirit by prayer.
The depth of the book of Ephesians is in these verses that speak of the mingled spirit. The church is the mingling of the Holy Spirit as the processed God with humanity. This is greater than spirituality, holiness, or victory. As long as we are in this oneness, we are surely spiritual, holy, and victorious. Our goal should be nothing less than this oneness. If we are in this oneness, what need have we to seek spirituality or holiness or victory? By being in this marvelous oneness we have all this and much more." (Life-study of Ephesians, pp. 572-577)
