Having the One Accord among God's People Formed as an Army by Living in the Spirit

Having the One Accord among God’s People Formed as an Army by Living in the Spirit

In Numbers 31 we see a beautiful picture of the one accord among God’s people who had been formed into an army ready for battle; it is a picture of the one accord we should practice in the church life today.

In the church life we experience something very similar to what the children of Israel have experienced toward the end of the book of Numbers: the young generation is being raised up and is…

God is Preparing the Second Generation with a Rich Inheritance to be His army today

God is Preparing the Second Generation with a Rich Inheritance to be His army today

If we look at those who entered into the good land, with the exception of Joshua and Caleb, those qualified and ready to take possession of the land were the younger ones, the new generation, the young generation (see Deut. 1:35-36; Num. 14:31).

The ones rescued by the Lord from Egypt, all the older generation, they all passed away because of their unbelief; they tempted the Lord and rebelled…

We're being Built into the Body and Formed into a New Army to Fight for God's Interest

We’re being Built into the Body and Formed into a New Army to Fight for God’s Interest

In Num. 26-27 we see how the children if Israel were renumbered, Joshua was set up as the new leader, and the people of Israel were formed into a new army ready to enter the good land; this typifies the believers being built up into the organic Body of Christ to fight with God and with God for the carrying out of His economy.

Hallelujah, today in the church life the Lord is forming us to be His…

Christ has already Won the Battle, and the Church Maintains Christ’s Victory on earth

The Lord Jesus has already won the battle – He has won the victory, and now our work as the church on earth is to maintain Christ’s victory. Hallelujah, the victory has been won, and we can apply it, stand in it, proclaim it, and make it real to the enemy wherever we are and wherever we go!

In Numbers we see a glimpse of the spiritual warfare that takes place behind the scenes – the fighting of…

Fight the Spiritual Warfare of the Church to Posses and Enjoy the All-inclusive Christ

Fight the Spiritual Warfare of the Church to Posses and Enjoy the All-inclusive Christ

The fighting of the children of Israel against the Canaanites that they might possess and enjoy the good land portrays the invisible spiritual warfare that is taking place behind the visible scene on earth, and it typifies the spiritual warfare of the church against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenlies.

Even before entering the good land, the army of God – the army of the children of…

The Necessity of Spiritual Warfare for us to Enter into the Enjoyment of Christ

The Necessity of Spiritual Warfare for us to Enter into the Enjoyment of Christ

We need to realize the necessity of spiritual warfare for us as God’s people to possess Christ as the good land for the fulfillment of God’s purpose.

This week we come to the last great crystal in the book of Numbers, The Necessity of Spiritual Warfare and God’s People being Formed into an Army Ready for Battle, as seen in Num. 21, 27, and 31.

The history of the children of Israel in their being…

God Considers His People in a Positive Way: they are Heavenly People living on Earth

God Considers His People in a Positive Way: they are Heavenly People living on Earth

In His view, God always considers His people in a positive way; He sees them chosen, redeemed, saved, enjoying Christ, being built up with the Triune God, formed into an army, and prepared by God to possess Christ as the good land. Hallelujah!

Throughout the years and centuries, God’s people have been going on with the Lord, but there have been some who did not see this but rather would…

Praise the Lord for the Saints being Full of Life and Light and Participate in Life

Praise the Lord for the Saints being Full of Life and Light and Participate in Life

According to God’s view, His people are sheaves full of life and heavenly bodies full of light; if we praise the Lord for His saints being full of life and light, we will be the first to participate in life.

Praise the Lord for the saints! We need to learn that the way we look at and we speak of God’s people is a serious matter; merely uttering things about God’s people “in all honesty” may…
