Blessed Trainings

This month has been blessed with training after training. On the secondth week, there was a three days of webcast ITERO training in Delhi followed by the next week's five days of fellowship with a senior coworker who has been shepherding us for over a decade now. The former training was a daily commuting from home to Delhi, and the latter, a five days in-house fellowship in Hyderabad. In both cases, I personally have been very much blessed and supplied with the rich speaking of the Lord. In the former training, I was deeply impressed by the truth concerning one accord and in the latter, two key points impressed me so deeply. 

First, we must realise that we are at the end times and whatever the Lord had prophesied are being fulfilled one by one, including persecution, afflictions, and sufferings of the believers. Second, I was deeply impressed by the way we need to take to keep the oneness in the Body of Christ especially in the light of Psalm 133 and take the way of prayer, Spirit, and the Word. For both cases I composed a hymn each based on the truth I received from the brother's fellowship. I also shared twice, being moved by the Spirit; first on coordination and then on grace.

These days I also have been studying the history and revelation of the Lord’s recovery. I used to wonder what would have been the experience of the training conducted by Br. Watchman Nee at Kuling mountain. Perhaps, in principle, we also have been in the same training a century after, under the same ministry, now here in India. We enjoyed a very strong yet sweet corporate prayers together with all the brothers in every session. As the Spirit flowed forth, there were overflow of life through the ministry of the word. Every brother had the freedom to speak forth as the Lord led. No specific topic for the meeting nor for the speaking but the Lord continued to speak according to our need. Many brothers have testified of what the Lord has been doing in their inward being; dealing with the self, the natural man, opinions, concepts, and the issues related to coordination among the brothers. Many deep things that pertains to the brothers, especially their person, have been touched. The Spirit spoke through the fellowship and bring to light the hidden things of darkness and dealt with each one according to each one’s condition. Truly, this was a real.perfecting training. 

In some session, we had prayers and overflow. In other sessions, we had fellowship from the brothers. And in all the sessions, we followed the Spirit's leading. The Spirit in the spirit of the brothers decided what to fellowship, how long to fellowship, and when to stop. In all the sessions, the spiritual atmosphere was very high and the seven Spirits of the Lord intensified His move inwardly in the being of the brothers. O what a fellowship! O what a training! It was indeed a time of spiritual health check-up and a time to take necessary remedial steps. What a mercy of the Lord indeed that we brothers in India could be so blessed through the Lord’s visitation! Praise the Lord for such a fellowship!
