The Living to Him Podcast

"Lord, I thank You that I am still young. I do not want there to be anything set, settled, or occupied with me. I want to be fully open to You for Your new move on this earth. Lord, I give myself to You. Come in and occupy, take, and possess me for Your up-to-date move on this earth." (Witness Lee, A Young Man in God's Plan, chapter 1, Living Stream Ministry) This week we begin a new series titled, "A Vital Living in the Homes," with testimonies from various brothers and sisters on their experiences in the church life. This meeting was held in July of 2011 in Anaheim, California. The original recording can be found at: https://livingtohim.com/2011/08/working-saints-july-training-2011/

"Now this He [Jesus] said, signifying by what kind of death he [Simon Peter] would glorify God.

Finally, be empowered in the Lord and in the might of His strength. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the stratagems of the devil, For our wrestling is not against blood and flesh but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenlies. Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6:10-13. As believers who love the Lord and who are standing for His testimony, we must not be ignorant of the schemes of God’s enemy in his attacks on the church. In order to help educate and inoculate us against such attacks, the co-workers in North America have released a series of articles on ShepherdingWords.com, which expose the stratagems of the devil. This week, we have a narration of the article entitled “A Harmonious Coordination between Generations to Advance God’s Move,” originally published on October 28, 2021. Because God’s move spans multiple generations, the precious lessons learned by one generation must be passed down to the next generation (Psa. 78:1-7; Deut. 4:9-10; 2 Tim. 2:1-2). Otherwise, these lessons will need to be repeated, thereby frustrating God's move. Realizing this, God’s enemy Satan often sows distrust and enmity in order to cause a generational rift in the church. As ones caring for God’s interest and move on the earth, we should on the one hand discern and reject this insidious tactic, and on the other hand honor and treasure such coordination between the generations. May the Lord supply us through this speaking and equip us to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
