We need to realize that everything through which we pass has only one purpose—that God’s life would be released through us and expressed in us; may our outer man be broken to such an extent that the inner man can be released and expressed; this is precious, and this is the way of the servants of the Lord.
To abide in the Lord is to be one spirit with Him, and effective prayers are the issue of our abiding in the Lord and of His words abiding in us.
Our enjoyment of Christ as the flow of life is for us to be sowers, planters, waterers, begetters, feeders, and builders with the ministry of life for the marvelous organic building of God, the magnificent house of God.
We all with unveiled face, beholding and reflecting like a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory.
