The Flow, the Dominion and the Church

Psalms 72:8

And He will have dominion from sea to sea and from the River unto the ends of the earth.

The River of the water of life flows from the throne of God to every corners of the earth. This River reaches us, supplying us with the Triune God. And we have been enjoying the divine supply since the day we believed and received the Lord. And this supply flows even through us to others, to water others through our contact with them, through our ministering of the Word of God. Praise the Lord!

This is what we have been experiencing these days as we preached the gospel. First the River flow into us. As we are enjoying this flow in us and among us, it flows through us. This flow is the Triune God Himself. Wherever the flow is, there the Triune God is. And with the Triune God there is the dominion- the authority that subdues everything not Christ. And this dominion will issue in the testimony of the Lord Jesus. What we need to do is to open ourselves to this flow; hourly and daily, abiding in the Lord.

This has been the Lord's instant speaking since the time I left Delhi for Guwahati. Though the propagation was planned already, there was no solid physical arrangement. Besides, from the human point of view, many things were very very impractical and in physical preparedness, we were far away. Firstly, we did not know the local language, Assamese. Second, we did not know the city, where is where, as we hardly were there. Third, is the financial supply as we need to rent for lodging and arrange food for all participants. Anyhow, as I was in the train praying, the Lord showed me the matter of the rivers flowing and watering the dry land; the River is the Spirit who is in us, so as we go to this city it is the Rivers flowing to water this dry land! And wherever this River flows, there the dominion is, for the River is the life of God who in itself is authority to subdue the enemy of God and anything that is contrary to His will. And finally, as the dominion takes place, the testimony of Jesus will be raised up. Hallelujah! This is what the Lord is doing exactly as we are propagating in Guwahati.

As for the language, we easily overcame as the local people either knows Hindi  or English or both. When we went out to preach the gospel, the Spirit spoke the right words to save sinners. As to the city logistic, we just went to a nearby area street by street and preached the gospel. And as to the financial need, the Lord supplies it in abundance through the saints' free will offering. This is a proof that the work of the Lord having its source in God will have the Holy Spirit's supply of power to carry it out unto the glory of God!

This is the Lord's move and we just flow along with the flow of the Rivers of living water.
