Word of Life, Work of Faith

A fellowship with a brother prior to the propagation unlocked the bullet chest that will be used for the spiritual warfare. Though the war wasn't literally fought yet, but it has already been won. Perhaps, its been on the fighting scene, still its a battle in victory, not for victory but a confirmation of the victory already won.

Such spiritual warfare is fought with "words of life" and this warfare is a "work of faith." To release such words of life, one must be filled with the Spirit by being filled with the word of God. There is no special method nor skill required except the word constitution and filling and the out flowing of the same. For, the only thing that can save people is the Lord Himself, expressed in word of life, anointed with the Spirit of God. Only such can convict men of sins, lead men to repentance and bring salvation to men. On the one hand it is the work of God, yet it is also the cooperation of man; for God to flow through man and save man.

This is exactly what we have been experiencing in Jaipur these days; knocking on doors, speaking to strangers and speaking the words of life and saving and baptising them. What a privilege to participate in such moves of God! This is the work of faith.

Contrary to the generic way of the evangelicals or Christianity way of gospel preaching or "church" setting missions, the new way we take is to simply flow out the divine life into people and seek out the "Aquilas and Prescillas" of the city we preach the gospel in and set up home meetings in their homes and raise up the church in their homes, as recorded in the book of Acts. This is the scriptural way, and this is the way we take; the new way as against the old religious way.

For this we go door knocking house by house, city by city, town by town, village by village, cooperating with the seeking Spirit to seek out the lost yet chosen ones, to save them and recover them back to God and His heart's desire. All these, by words of life and work of faith that the will of God may be done on earth as in the heaven and the kingdom of God may come on earth as in the heaven.

Lord, grace us to be filled with the word of life and do the work of faith for the fulfillment of Your economy on this earth.
