A Triune Living Out From The Triune God Who Himself is the Source, Course and Reaching Supply of Life


The source of our triune living is God the Father the source of life. To enthrone Him in our daily activities, giving Him the center of our being and our doing, is allowing the initiation of all His life to be active in us. “We live with the Father as the source of life, but we live the Son as life,” (God's New Testament Ecomomy, W. Lee p 433). The Father as life comes to us as life in the Son who is the embodiment of life. We partake of live the Son who is our life by being supplied by such an all-inclusive Person, our Lord Jesus Christ. By calling on Him, and by coming to Him, praising and thanking Him for His Person and His work, then we are richly supplied with life.







The practice of such a living will lead us to experience the enjoyment of Jesus as the sustaining Tree of Life in us, even in great tribulation and trial (Phil 1:19). By such experience of life, Christ becomes so real to us, but He is made real as the Spirit who is the Spirit of life. He reaches us and is made real to us in a stream of life, a flow of life, which is the Spirit of life. We need to heed the sense of life in our spirit so that there would be no hindrance to this powerful flow, so that the life we live on earth would be dynamically powered by the heavenly dynamo. This is a life of mingling, where this Triune Person is mingled to live in our tripartite being and where our living eventually becomes “Jesus living again on earth.” Today I am connected to such a power plant that can do and be everything in my living, but He needs to install many more “electrical” outlets and switches in my soul, so that He would be magnified in my living, have a greater part of my being and be glorified in so many ways by being mingled deeper into my being (Phil 1:20).


For I know that for me this will turn out to salvation through your petition and the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I will be put to shame, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death.  
Philippians 1:19-20

There is a Great Need for Shepherds and Teachers

Even the smallest and weakest can shepherd the smaller and the weaker.  It is no lie when the Bible says that a woman shall be saved through her child-bearing (1 Timothy 2:15).  The same is true for all who shepherd the Lord's sheep and feed His lambs (John 21).
