Church's Outdoor Blending

Yesterday, as the church, we all went to India Gate, New Delhi, for outdoor blending. It was a blending time for the saints as we hardly went out together. We made use of the holiday to blend the saints together. Besides, the children too had their enjoyable time, playing to their heart's content.

Our blending fellowship was based on our person being proper as a Christian. The Lord cares for who we are, more than what we do. This is the burden the Lord gave us these days, and we simply continue to trumpet the same burden to the saints. 

Matthew 7:22-23Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, was it not in Your name that we prophesied, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name did many works of power? And then I will declare to them: I never knew you. Depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness. 

Prophecies, demon casting out, and many works of power are not what concerns the Lord, but the being of the person himself through whom all these things were done. That's why the Lord said, "I never knew you." The Lord did not say, "I never knew your works." Which implies that the Lord is more concerned about our being much more than our works. If at all there are works, they all must be from the overflow of the enjoyment of the divine life within us. If our person is proper, our works also will be proper. The message that we speak must be the life that we live. The message and the messenger must be one. 

The brothers who received this burden also shared their portion each. It was not one man releasing the burden of the church, but all the brothers in coordination. Slowly, the Lord is blending us all together. When each brother shared their portion, the burden that was released to the church became complete. In this way of everyone functioning, all the saints will be perfected and the Body will be built up.

I thank the Lord for this revelation of bringing everyone to function. Gradually, "everyone functioning" becomes more practical and real. This will fully annihilate clergy-laity system and usher in the real Body-life of everyone function to build up the Body of Christ.

Later, we all took a tour to India Gate, had photo sessions, and came back for another time of prayer and fellowship with lovefeast. Inwardly and outwardly, the Lord has been blending us together. So far so good, the Lord is working on the saints in Gurgaon as we are being prepared to command, contain and multiply the Lord's blessing.

Lord, bless the church in Gurugram.
