二〇一六年曼谷国际相调特会于八月十二日到十四日上午在曼谷神的召会一会所举行,此次特会共有一千三百五十二位圣徒参加,除了泰国本地有八百位圣徒参加外,还有从越南、柬埔寨、老挝、缅甸、台湾、澳洲及美国等八个国家及地区来的五百五十二位圣徒。感谢赞美主!众人紧紧跟随主今时代职事的说话,同来享受基督的丰富及身体里的相调。本次特会享受的信息为:二〇一六年夏季训练—《出埃及记结晶读经(四)》。
本次特会的信息共有12篇,分9堂释放。虽然时间紧促,但弟兄们精炼又丰富的为我们供应每一篇信息的重点:一开始就说到我们需要将里面的偶像(文化,传统等)清除,使我们全人被更新,才能认识神,进而出到营外,进入幔内,与祂有面对面的交通,得着神的说话和引导,并照着山上样式—属天建造的异象,实际的进入召会的建造里。同时也看见我们真正的问题乃是缺少金,因此我们需要更多的金来包裹我们,使我们彼此能被建造在一起,成为神在灵里的居所。只有我们先「被建造」成为属灵的殿,就是与弟兄姊妹活在一种被建造的光景里,然后才能作建造的工作。也看见我们需要成为柱子,成为主刚强的见证人,好把人一同带进这建造里。
在如何认识神的这点上,弟兄也交通到我们认识神的途径:第一,要多读神的话,并让神的话主观的经过我们,在我们身上有地位;第二,要在一切事上摸着內住是灵的基督,不要浪费神给我们的每一个环境,成为一个里面与神有故事的人;第三,在召会生活中,活在与身体的交通里,使我们被平衡,不至偏差,而清楚认识神的旨意。
弟兄姊妹在每堂信息释放后也积极踊跃的分享。有一位泰国姊妹见证她以前是在公会里,后来接触到主的恢复,觉得喜乐欢腾,但是又没有办法脱离那个宗教的营,就又回去了。但她见证她一回去整个人就落到了黑暗里,没有享受。经过了三个月的挣扎,她决定离开公会,回到主的恢复里。当她回来时,她觉得整个人就透亮了,饱足了。阿利路亚,出到宗教的营外,进入幔内(有神同在的召会生活里),是何等的喜乐!
在信息享受之外,还有一些特别交通。有来自缅甸,老挝,越南,柬埔寨等国家的弟兄们向与会圣徒分享主在他们当地召会的行动及相关代祷事项。也有泰国校园工作的服事者交通到泰国校园工作的五年计划:就是在要来的五年,在泰国十三所大学,每年每所大学至少得着20位,五年要得着1300位,每个学校需要5个家移民到校园附近。一位弟兄见证他在泰国开展时搬了12次家,越搬家人越活,越搬家越喜乐,并鼓励圣徒们起来答应呼召,投身主在泰国的行动,移民到校园附近,打开家,得青年!
此外,在十四号主日上午最后一堂信息开始前我们有擘饼聚会。这一千三百多位圣徒虽然来自不同的国家,有不同的语言和文化,但却见证了在宇宙中只有一个身体,我们将她彰显于地。
主一直在祝福泰国,近年来,众圣徒对主的爱心,信心都有增长,聚会的灵与空气也越来越强,众圣徒同心合意,积极投身召会的事奉。尤其是这次会前和会中泰国众召会、众圣徒,领受负担,多方为特会祷告并且在各个服事小组里,殷勤服事,一里配搭,显出全体事奉的美景。愿主继续加强泰国的众召会,在基督的身体里一同蒙恩往前。

2016 International Blending Conference in Bangkok
2016 International Blending Conference in Bangkok was held on 12th to the morning of 14 th, August at the first meeting hall of the church of God in Bangkok. A total of 1,352 saints attended the conference. In addition to the 800 attending saints from Thailand, there were 525 saints from 8 different countries or regions such as Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Taiwan, Australia and United States, etc. Praise the Lord! All the saints closely follow the speaking of the Lord’s ministry of present age to enjoy the riches of Christ and the blending in the Body. The subject of this conference was: HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CRYSTALLIZATION-STUDY OF EXODUS (4).
A total of 12 messages were released in 9 sessions during the conference. The time was limited, but the brothers concisely and richly supplied us with the main points in every message. These 12 messages began by saying that we need to eliminate the idols (culture and tradition, etc.) within us so that our whole being may be renewed, and then we can know God and go outside the camp and enter within the veil to fellowship with Him face-to-face to receive God’s speaking and leading and enter practically into the building up of the church according to the pattern in the mountain, the heavenly vision of building. Meanwhile, we also see that our real problem is that we are short of gold. Therefore, we need more gold to overlay us that we may be built up with one another to be a dwelling place of God in spirit. Only when we are first “being built up” into a spiritual house, that is, we are living in a condition of being built up with the saints can we then do the building work. We see as well that we need to become pillars, Lord’s strong witnesses for the people to be brought into this building.
Concerning the point of how to know God, a brother also fellowshipped about our ways of knowing God: first, we need to read more of the Word of God and allow God’s word to pass through us subjectively and have ground in us; second, we need to touch the indwelling, pneumatic Christ in everything that we may not waste any environment given by God to be the one having a “story” with God within; third, in the church life, we need to live in the fellowship of the Body that we may be balanced and not deviated to know God’s will clearly.
After the message was released in each session, saints actively shared what they have enjoyed. A sister in Thailand testified that in the past, she was in the denomination, later, she contacted the Lord’s recovery and exulted with joy. However, it was hard for her to separate herself from that camp of religion and then she went back again. However, she testified that as long as she went back, she fell into darkness without enjoyment. After struggling for three months, she decided to return to the Lord’s recovery. As she came back to the Lord’s recovery, she felt clear, transparent and satisfied. Hallelujah, what a joy to go outside the camp of religion and enter within the veil (the church life with God’s presence)!
Besides the enjoyment of messages, there were some special fellowships as well. Brothers from Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia each shared with saints in the conference about the Lord’s move among the local churches in their own country as well as the relevant prayer requests. There were also Thai serving ones who labor on campus work fellowshipping about the five-year plan for the campus work in Thailand: in the upcoming five years, among the thirteen universities in Thailand, at least 20 college students will be gained in each university every year and 1300 college students will be gained in five years. There is a need of five families migrating near each university. A brother testified that he migrated for 12 times as he propagated in Thailand. The more he migrated, the more he was living, and the more he felt joyful. And he also encouraged saints to raise up to answer the call to devote themselves to the Lord’s move in Thailand and migrate near the university to open home to gain young people!
In addition, on the Lord’s day morning of 14th, before the messages in last session were released, we had the Lord ’s table meeting. Over 1,300 saints were from different countries with different languages and cultures, yet we testified that there is one Body in this universe, and we express it here on earth.
The Lord has always been blessing Thailand. Recent years have witnessed that the saints’ love and faith toward the Lord had increased, the spirit and the atmosphere of meetings had become stronger and stronger. All the saints had been in one accord to actively devote themselves to the church service. Especially before and during this conference, all the churches and saints in Thailand received the burden to pray for the conference in many ways and in each serving group, they labored diligently and coordinated in one accord, which manifested a beautiful picture of the service of all the members. May the Lord continue to strengthen all the churches in Thailand to receive grace and advance in the Body of Christ.
