"When we pass through the stages of fellowship, confession, and consecration, we enter into a prayer life. It is in this prayer life that we pray ourselves into the Spirit—the essential Spirit, the economical Spirit, the all-inclusive Spirit. Then we learn how to follow this Spirit by exercising our spirit. If this is the case with us, we are really vital" (Witness Lee, Fellowship concerning the Urgent Need of the Vital Groups, Chapter 24, Living Stream Ministry). This week's episode continues the series entitled, "Being Energized" with speaking to the working saints by brother Minoru Chen in February of 2010 in Irvine, California.

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 “God’s Economy, Different Teaching, and the Central Line of the Bible,” originally published on March 23, 2021. In 1 Timothy 1:3-4 the apostle Paul asked Timothy to charge certain ones not to teach different things but to focus on God’s economy. Based on this charge as well as the central revelation of the Bible, the ministry in the Lord’s recovery uncompromisingly stresses the working out of God’s economy. Throughout the years, however, some have rejected this emphasis and instead insisted on teaching their own interpretations and emphases. Using a number of scriptural references, this article outlines the central line of God’s economy and explains the seriousness of teaching differently. May the Lord supply us through this speaking and equip us to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
