Lord’s Recovery Literature in Brazil

We praise the Lord for His recovery introduced in Brazil in the 1960s through saints’ immigration from Asia. Although this immigration brought several families, the growth of the work was not prevalent until the beginning of the 1970s. The growth and expansion of the churches in the localities happened mainly due to the reading of Brother Watchman Nee’s books.

The History of the Life-study Publication Work (3)

In the August 2023 issue of “Having This Ministry…” we presented the second part of our interview with Brother Ron Kangas concerning the history of the Life-study publication work. In this issue we present the third part of that interview.

So Great a Foundation–The All-inclusive Spirit of Christ

At the end of 1963, early in his ministry in the United States, Witness Lee released messages on the all-inclusive Spirit of Christ. Later these messages became one of the early ministry publications, released as a booklet in 1969. Brother Lee continued to develop this truth, which is a hallmark of his ministry, for the rest of his life. In this article we will learn more about this foundational truth.

Longing for the Lord’s Speaking

Before the Lord, the meaning of the church being cleansed by the washing of water is that the life of Christ deals with every part that is not out of Christ. The natural life and all that is not out of Christ must be purged away. Sanctification can only come after cleansing, and the basis of cleansing is the Lord’s word, the rhema. If we do not know the Lord’s word, there is no way for us to be cleansed and sanctified.

God Blending the Body Together

God has blended the Body together (1 Cor. 12:24). The word blended also means “adjusted,” “harmonized,” “tempered,” and “mingled.” God has blended the Body, adjusted the Body, harmonized the Body, tempered the Body, and mingled the Body.
