Rm 10:13 For “whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Rm 10:14 How then shall they call upon Him into whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe into Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without one who proclaims Him?

Rm 10:15 And how shall they proclaim Him unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who announce the news of good things!”

Lord, may we be someone who speaks this gospel!

Solid Ground Bible Study - Different aspects of the matter of reconciliation

Verse reading (2 Corinthians 5:18-21)

18 But all things are out from God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Christ and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

19 Namely, that God in Christ was reconciling the world to Himself, not accounting their offenses to them, and has put in us the word of reconciliation. 

20 On behalf of Christ then we are ambassadors, as God entreats you through us; we beseech you on behalf of Christ, Be reconciled to God.

>>> the apostles are fully authorised to bring saints to the reconciliation to God. 

21 Him who did not know sin He made sin on our behalf that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

The ministry of the NT - many ministers are in the one ministry (Unlike what's commonly discussed in the Christianity 

Two stages of reconciliation 

1. Unbelievers need to be reconciled to God

2. Believers need to be further reconciled to God. 

Something other than sins, but what we are, our being, our flesh, and our natural constitution also hinder us from being fully reconciled to God (the 2nd veil). 

Life-study radio 46 - The Correspondence between the Vision in Revelation 12 and the Book of Ephesians

The whole armour of God is for the Body, and thus it requires us to be in the Body (in the fellowship of the Body). Strength gets magnified when we have one another. 

Watchman Nee - tried to preach the gospel but couldn't succeed because, during that time, he thought that the matter of victory is only concerned with individuals. Yet when he realised that he needed to ask people he was staying with to pray for him. Even though people who stayed with him were not educated much to understand too many spiritual things, they were real believers. They prayed for brother Nee and the blessing followed. 

Life-study of Revelation msg 45 - The Beast out of the Earth

The characteristics of false prophets

Rev. 13:11 And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a dragon.

Rev. 13:12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his sight, and he causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose death stroke was healed.

Rev. 13:13 And he does great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth before men.

Rev. 13:14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth on account of the signs which he was given [power] to do before the beast, commanding those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast, who had the stroke of the sword and revived.

Therefore, not a matter of signs that we should focus on, but the life that we shall focus on. 

Only this kind of life will preserve us till the end - the life that God has put in us to be lived out. 

Rev. 13:15 And [power] was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast that the image of the beast might even speak and cause whoever would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

Rev. 13:16 And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the freemen and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,

Rev. 13:17 And that no one may be able to buy or sell except him who has the mark, [that is,] the name of the beast or the number of his name.

Rev. 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred sixty-six.

Life-study msg 43 - The Beast Out of the Sea (3)

Opening Word: 

(Brother Lee was burdened to illuminate the saints to identify this anti-Christ)  

1. Oppose God, 

2. Pursecute all God's people (Jews+Christians) 

3. Smart in mind intellectually 

4. Capable

5. Superpower - the verse shows how powerful and evil he is. 

(Rv 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority) 

When we refer to the book of Daniel - the anti-Christ is the totality of all wild beasts. 

- a leopard - Alexander the great (the 3rd beast in Dan 7)

- a bear - middle Persia empire (destroying) (the 2nd beast in Dan 7) 

- a lion - Babalonion empire with devouring mouth (the 1st beast in Dan 7)

The man of lawlessness ---> sin = lawlessness 

We need to pray that Lord, we don't want the law of lawlessness operating in me but the law of Godliness operates in us. Lord, I don't wanna dethrone you- I want to make you the throne in my heart. When God came with His overcomers, He slays the anti-Christ with His breath, that is, the Word of God.  

Daniel, Paul, and John all share the same thing even though they were in different times in history. They all love the Lord, and they all describe how the end time will be like and who is the anti-Christ. 

6. Touch the stars and heavens

7. So strong and attractive in appearance 

• We are not in darkness (because we have these words) - we know what kind of person that the anti-Christ and is and will not be attracted to him. 
• We should not be people who pursue miracles and wonders- we should focus on the source even if there are miracles and wonders. Christ is whom that we pursue. 

Solid Ground: 2 Cor life-study (Meeting) - The Ministers of the New Covenant (1)

2Co 3:3 Since you are being manifested that you are a letter of Christ ministered by us, inscribed not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone but in tablets of hearts of flesh.

2 Co 3:4 And such confidence we have through Christ toward God,

2 Co 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God,

*sufficient - or, competent, qualified, fit, worthy. The apostle's sufficiency comes from his knowing God inscribing on him as every letter.  

Christ is every alphabet - I am the Alpha and Omega. 

Paul knows Christ as alpha, beta... etc. - he knows Christ as every letter. 

Writing this letter with ink (oil) - that is we need to be filled with Christ, the life-giving Spirit 

Solid Ground: 1 Thes 5 (sisters gathering) - To Be Sanctified Wholly with Our Spirit, Soul, and Body Preserved Complete

Blessed are those who can say "I don't know" (XD)

- The only thing you need to learn is to say "I don't know". 

- Blessed are the poor in spirit and pure in heart. 

What it means to be sanctified wholly? 

- May your spirit, and soul, and body be preserved wholly. 

- Three parts need to be preserved from any dead works. 

Heb. 9:14 How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

- In fellowship with the Lord via the following means (singing, praying, rejoicing, praising etc.) 

1 Thes. 5:16 Always rejoice,
1 Thes. 5:17 Unceasingly pray,
1 Thes. 5:18 In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

How to be preserved complete? 

How to preserve these parts: 

1. Spirit 

- To fellowship with God (exercise this by praying with God) - this will help our spirit living! 

To rejoice, to pray, to give thanks are the ways to exercise our spirit. 

- intuition "knowing" whether we are right or wrong 

- conscience being justified 

2. Soul - 

3. Body -
