The Living to Him Podcast

“The Lord is living and purposeful. But what is His ultimate move? To say that the Lord Jesus will come back to clear up things on earth is true… but clearing up things is not His ultimate move… God’s ultimate move is to work Himself—Father, Son, and Spirit—into us and to become our life, that we may live Him out and express Him as His Body, the church.” (Witness Lee, The World Situation and God's Move, p. 324, Living Stream Ministry) This week we begin a new series titled, “The Goal of Our Christian Life,” with further speaking from brother Andrew Yu on the age of intensification. This is part one of message six from a conference hosted by the church in New York City in November 2015. The original recording can be found at:  https://livingtohim.com/2016/02/conference-in-new-york-with-andrew-yu-november-2015/

In our spiritual experience there is a beginning, a course, and an ending, after which we experience another beginning with another course and another ending. This cycle repeats itself, and each repetition takes us forward. The beginning, course, and ending are a spiritual metabolism. This is also a law of revival. Every new beginning is a new revival and is followed by a course. When the course reaches its fullness, the experiences in that stage come to an end. Then another beginning will ensue with another course and another ending. This is the cycle of revival. (Witness Lee, The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1960, vol. 2, p. 384, Living Stream Ministry) This week we conclude the series titled, “The New Revival,” with testimonies that followed brother Andrew Yu's speaking. This is part three of message five from a conference hosted by the church in New York City in November 2015.

“If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and are not practicing the truth” (1 John 1:6). “This Greek verb [for practicing] denotes doing (things) habitually and continually by abiding (in the things); hence, it has the sense of practice. To practice the truth is to live the truth habitually, not merely to do it occasionally.” (Witness Lee, Holy Bible Recovery Version, 1 John 1:6, note 5, Living Stream Ministry) This week we continue the series titled, “The New Revival,” with speaking from brother Andrew Yu on picking up seven “waypoints” as our new habits. This is part two of message five from a conference hosted by the church in New York City in November 2015. The original message was spoken with side-by-side English to Chinese translation which was edited out for brevity, thereby affecting the cadence of the speaking.

“Eating, drinking, and sleeping cause our physical life to grow. Similarly, our spiritual life grows by eating, drinking, and sleeping, that is, by our being revived. In 2 Corinthians 12:10 the apostle Paul says, ‘I am well pleased in weaknesses...; for when I am weak, then I am powerful.’ Paul knew how…to touch the joy of Christ when he suffered. He also was able to apply the law of revival; hence, he was always being revived.” (Witness Lee, The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1960, vol. 2, p. 398, Living Stream Ministry) This week we begin a new series titled, “The New Revival,” with speaking from brother Andrew Yu on the law of revival and our habits.

“Our work today is to perfect others to do the work themselves. We are not here to work in place of others. Paul produced Timothy as his disciple, and then Timothy committed the work to faithful ones (2 Tim. 2:2). These faithful ones then went out and perfected others. This is the way of our work today.” (Witness Lee, The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1932-1949, vol. 2, pp. 406-407, Living Stream Ministry) This week we conclude the series titled, "The Age of Intensification," with speaking from brother Andrew Yu on service. In his sharing, he emphasizes that the Lord’s direction in our service today is that we perfect others to function rather than to replace them.

“What is our burden? What is our responsibility? We must not just preach the gospel. We must bear the testimony of Jesus...Our responsibility is to live Christ, to bear a living witness to Him in our daily life, to know nothing but Christ, the all-inclusive One revealed in the completing ministry of Paul and the mending ministry of John.” (Witness Lee, The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1981, vol. 1, p. 354, Living Stream Ministry) This week we begin a new series titled, "The Age of Intensification," with speaking from brother Andrew Yu on following the Lord in His present move.
