Another point of special significance is that God is the God of today, that He is the One who is always now. In other words, with God there is no concept of time. This does not mean, however, that the Lord has no time; it is only meant to indicate that He is not bound …
One thing which God’s people should take note of is that every spiritual matter has its reality before God. If what we have touched is mere appearance and not reality we shall find that it is of no spiritual value whatsoever. What then is spiritual reality? The reality of a spiritual thing is something spiritual …
Raised from death to life, transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of the Son of His love, enthroned with Him in the ‘heavenlies’. The Apostle does not want us to think of heaven as a PLACE, so much an EXPERIENCE! We have an everyday expression ‘over the moon’. Where is that? but …
Concerning the way as to how to serve in this particular age, we need first of all to understand the conditions of the Church in this age. With regard to this, there are generally two different schools of thought. One school considers the Church as progressive: for in each period of Church history there has …
Today I would like for us to examine together one special matter that has been on my heart. It concerns something which everybody has, though it is not always evident. It is often something done by us, yet not done every time. And what is that? It is the shedding of tears. I wonder if …

It is true that Brother Lee ministered on this topic in Chinese in Taiwan in March 1986. Yet (for whatever reason) these messages remained unpublished in English …
There is a special something behind God’s word. To rend the veil and open it so that what lies behind is seen—such is called revelation. It can also be called interpretation. Without the latter, neither you nor I will receive much benefit. To study the Bible, interpretation is absolutely necessary. We cannot be lazy; we …
“That which is born of the Spirit is spirit” (John 3:6). We should put John 4:24, 6:63, and 3:6 together: “God is Spirit,” “The words which I have spoken…are spirit,” and “That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” The words in the Bible are spirit. The life which a man receives at the …
Once when the Lord traveled and came to a certain place, He saw Matthew (Levi) sitting at the customs. He called Levi, saying, “Follow me,” and the latter arose and followed the Lord. Suppose a stranger would say to us, “Follow me”; would we rise up and follow him? Certainly not. But here is a …
