Dear saints of all churches,
Thank you for all the prayers. We had the most glorious conference (in April) of churches that in Cuba. Praise the name of the Lord. – – The saints in Cuba ( Las Iglesias Locales en Cuba, Iglesia en Holguín)
It is worthy of note that in Philippians 1:19 Paul speaks first of the saints’ petition, then of the bountiful supply of the Spirit. Why does he not mention the bountiful supply of the Spirit first? The reason Paul speaks of the supply of the Body before the bountiful supply of the Spirit is that the Spirit is upon the Body. Psalm 133 illustrates this: the ointment poured upon Aaron’s head flowed down to the body.
This portrays the fact that the ointment, the bountiful supply of the compound Spirit, is upon the Body. Paul realized that he was not the whole Body, but just a member of the Body. As a member, he needed the Body’s supply. If the Body would be exercised to supply him, the bountiful supply of the Spirit would come to him through the Body. (Life-Study of Philippians, Chapter 33)
