Life study msg 22- The Seven Eyes of the Lamb For the Building of God

Scripture reading: Revelation chapter 5. 

The burden of this massage: Grow in life and function as Christians for the building up of the Body of Christ. 

Rv 5:3 And no one in heaven nor on the earth nor under the earth was able to open the scroll or look into it.
Rv 5:4 And I wept much because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look into it.
Rv 5:5 And one of the elders said to me, Do not weep; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so that He may open the scroll and its seven seals.

1. Worthy is the Lamb for He has redeemed us. He has completed the full salvation for us. 
2. He is worthy because He has defeated the enemy. This qualifies Him to open God's economy. 
3. Who is worthy to open the secret of God's economy? -God is the only One who's found to be worthy. 
- The Lion of the tribe of Judah - His victory over the enemy. God's a fighter who knows how to defeat the enemy. 
- The Root of David - Christ is the source of David. 

Rv 5:6 And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures and in the midst of the elders a Lamb standing as having just been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

The development of this verse: 
- Seven Lambs (Exo.) -> seven eyes (Zech.) --> seven Spirits of God (Rev.) 

Eyes: Infusing into (purifying and burning away < judgment> and infusing into us the nature of God)

The overcoming today is to overcome the dark night and the degraded situation. This requires His infusion into us. This infusion will be the New Jerusalem that we see- all built by Jasper stone. 

Some fellowship from the saints:
We do experience the essential spirit but for the Lord's move and the fulfillment of His economy, the economical spirit is needed. Since the building of the Body of Christ is the Lord's heart's desire, at the later stage before the day of the Lord, we have to experience the Lord's intensified economical spirit in His move as well. 

Lord, may our daily living also be part of your move so we can experience you as our essential spirit but also the economical spirit. Bless your church, Lord!
