Churches' Visitation and Blending

And whenever Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stay at the entrance of the tent, and Jehovah would speak with Moses. (Exodus 33:9, RecVer)

And Jehovah would speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his companion. And Moses would return to the camp, but his attendant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart out of the tent. (Exodus 33:11, RecVer)

And He said, My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest. (Exodus 33:14, RecVer)

In the service of the Lord, fellowship and coordination in the Body are two vital factors. In fact, the two are one. Last Friday night, as I drove back from attending a small-group meeting, I attended an urgent fellowship online that lasted till 11:30 PM. The fellowship was concerning certain brothers in Punjab and the issues the churches and the brothers have been facing. After much discussion and fellowship, it was fellowshipped that I should also join the brothers who would be visiting the churches in Chandigarh and Ludhiana. Though my personal choice was an absolute NO as I had many other things to attend to during the weekends, but deep in my spirit I kept myself open to the Lord and to the fellowship of the brothers. When the fellowship for me to join came, I exercised my spirit to deny my own feeling and amen the brothers. So I decided to go.

The next day, the 25th of October, six brothers, three each from the church in Gurugram and New Delhi, coordinated to drive about seven hours with breaks in between to visit a brother in Chandigarh. We had a short while of fellowship concerning his health and the situation of the church there. Then we prayed and left for Ludhiana, about a three-and-a-half-hour drive. Though the initial plan was to fellowship with certain brothers, since the local brothers had invited the saints too, we ha a meeting instead where we shared on our recent enjoyment of the Lord and a general speaking on the nature of th Lord's recovery being the oneness of the the Triune God and the church being in the Triune God as I also shared from the need to prepare ourselves for the Lord's coming again by being trained to deny ungodliness and worldy lust and live soberly, righteously, and goldy in the presennt age based on Titus 2:12.

The next day, on the Lord's Day, as we were preparing for the Lord's table meeting, the brother concerned called me up about the plan for a time of fellowship. Then, within an instant, we brothers fellwoshipepd and decided to have a time of fellowship with the brother alone during lunch time. 

During the meeting, as the saints were prophesying from their recent enjoyment of the Lord on dealing with the heart, I also shared my portion based on Matthew 5:8, "Blessed are pure in heart, for they shall see God." Then, I released the burden the Lord gave me for the saints, the practical way to keep our hearts pure by dealing with it. Firstly, by turning our hearts to the Lord all the time, away from all things other than Christ. Second, by exercising to call upon the Lord's name as we turn to the Lord moment by moment. This is the simplest and easiest way to turn to the Lord. Third, by spending time in personal prayer every day to deal with our hearts before the Lord, confessing our sins and worldliness and many contaminating things, and applying the precious blood of Christ to have a cleansed and clean conscience without offenses and condemnations. Fourth, by reading the word of God, the Bible day by day, for only the word can sanctify and renew our minds. Fifth, by using the minsitry books like the Holy Word for Morning Revival, the Life-studies, etc, to help understand and enjoy the word of God, and finally, to attend the local church meetings and the trainings and conferences to receive the Lord's speaking again and gain. Thus, my burden was released.

During lunchtime, as we sat down to fellowship with the brother concerned, he requested that the local brothers also join the fellowship, so all the leading brothers of the local church were invited. Then, in an open and brotherly way, each brother was given the opportunity to speak what they needed to speak. Then, the matters of concern were discussed. Some of us brothers followed suit in fellowshipping the general principle and the practical way to keep the oneness while dealing with all that needs to be dealt with before the Lord and also with one another in confession, forgiveness, and reconciliation. While doing so, we reiterated that we all are one, from the literature service or from the work or from the church in Delhi or Gurugram, we are all brothers, no high, no low, all one in Christ, standing together as one Body for the one testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ. The fellowship then concluded with prayers.

One interesting matter fellowshipped was that while coordinating in the church, the Lord is blending us together similar to that of being under constant grinding to break all the grains of wheat until it becomes a fine flour good for the baking of one loaf. While in this process of grinding in the "mixer," fighting and breaking are bound to happen, but do not jump out of it; rather, turn to the Lord in prayers personally and corporately to be graced to be grounded into fine flour for the blending.

After bidding adieu for the time being, we drove back home to Delhi and Gurugram, over over-nine-hour drive with stops in between. While on the way back, I personally got a lot of time to listen to messages assigned for the next fellowship and also a time of fellowship with brothers on various matters. It was a wonderful time of blending among us brothers. Praise for the Lord for churches' visitations and blendings!

For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and through whom are all things, in leading many sons into glory, to make the Author of their salvation perfect through sufferings. (Hebrews 2:10, RecVer)

Lord, blend and bless the churches in Punjab!
