2016-2016 Regional Blending Conference in Punjab, India. – via Suraj Masih
The last portion of the book of Ephesians is instruction concerning the practical church life. We should remember that after the apostle Paul gave a full vision of the church, he offered a prayer at the end of chapter 3 specifically that we would be strengthened into our inner man that Christ may make His home in our heart, that is, that He may spread into, take over, and occupy our whole inward being (vv. 16-19). This is a very basic prayer for the church life. The church life is not merely outward in practice. Rather, it is something inward. We need to keep in mind that we have an inner man, a human spirit. Our inner man must be strengthened; then all our inward parts will be taken over, possessed, by Christ, and He will make home and settle down in our whole being. Eventually, we will be filled unto all the fullness of God; that is, we will be fully mingled with God. This is very basic to the church life. We can never have a church life by ourselves, in ourselves, or with ourselves. The church life must be a life of our being mingled with God, in which our inner man, our spirit, is strengthened. (The Vision, Practice, and Building Up of the Church as the Body of Christ by Witness Lee, Chapter 9)
