An Overview of the Central Burden and Present Truth of the Lord’s Recovery before His Appearing

The 2023 Summer Training is entitled, “An Overview of the Central Burden and Present Truth of the Lord’s Recovery before His Appearing” and is from the 3rd to the 8th of July 2023. May the Lord release His speaking during this time.

How to Prepare for the July 2023 Semi-Annual Training

The general subject of the July 2023 Semiannual Training will be “An Overview of the Central Burden and Present Truth of the Lord’s Recovery before His Appearing.”

To help those who would like to prepare for this training, we recommend that you read The Divine and Mystical Realm or that you watch Brother Lee’s videos from the conference that produced the contents of this book.

You can purchase this book via LSM, Amana Trust (in the UK), your local Christian bookshop, or google play, amazon, etc.

The videos of Brother Lee’s speaking are being made available through this playlist. A new message will be posted on each of the following days, and each will remain for several months: June 19, 21, 23, 26, 28, and 30.

The divine and mystical realm is something not only spiritual but also mysterious. “The Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit—is self-existing, ever-existing, and coinhering, with the three of the Divine Trinity dwelling in one another. According to John 14:10 and 11, the Son is in the Father, and the Father is in the Son. This indicates that the Father is embodied in the Son and the Son is the Father’s embodiment, forming a divine and mystical realm, the realm of the Triune God. Therefore, the Triune God Himself is a divine and mystical realm. The divine and mystical realm into which we may enter today is actually not simply the divine and mystical realm of the Triune God but the divine and mystical realm of the consummated Spirit and the pneumatic Christ.” (Witness Lee, The Divine and Mystical Realm, ch. 3)

Ukraine Update

Dear Brothers,

Please see an update on the situation in Ukraine related to the saints who are still in the country. A number of saints, mainly sisters and children, have escaped to be refugees in neighboring countries. The husbands have not been allowed to leave the country. Please forward this update to the leading ones in the churches in your area for their prayer.

Dear Brothers and Sisters, 

The current conflict in Ukraine has created many grievous and painful situations, too numerous to relate. The Ukrainian saints are suffering, many traumatized by the great danger resulting from war. We provide the update below in order that we could all pray and stand together with these members of Christ’s Body who are standing for His kingdom on earth.

There are still ten saints remaining in the city of Mariupol, with whom we have lost contact for the last three days. There is no water, no electricity, and no medicine in this city. The apartment buildings where the saints live are being utterly destroyed. 

Tonight as the city of Mykolaiv fell under the rain of rockets, we wept together with the saints on the phone. 

Some of our brothers on the front line are able to rest only by laying under the sky on the open ground, since living under any kind of covering invites an attack. The brothers are cold, and their bodies are failing. Our brother Oleg’s kidneys are starting to give him trouble. There are no medicines. 

The city of Chernigov, where we have a meeting hall which also serves as a Rhema warehouse for Russian Recovery Versions, is surrounded by opposing forces. Years of ministry translation work into the Ukrainian language is also stored there on computer hard drives. 

The capital, Kyiv, is being rocked by huge explosions. There are still about 20 praying saints in the meeting hall.  Many of the other Kyiv saints remain in their apartments in various districts of the city. One family and several saints are in Bucha, a suburb of Kyiv, which has seen intense fighting. They have been living in the basement of a central apartment building with 60 other people, mainly women and children. One couple, Sasha and Anya, both FTTM (Full Time Training in Moscow) graduates, preached the gospel to everyone who is with them in the basement, and everyone called upon the name of the Lord! Anya has her guitar and has been singing with the children. 

This past Lord’s Day, March 6, the saints in Ukraine had a corporate Lord’s table meeting by Zoom. It was attended by over 400 saints throughout the country. As we were singing and praising, we could still hear the sound of explosions through the microphones of some of the saints in battle-torn areas. During the sharing time, a number of brothers testified about our oneness and our victory in the Lord. Although some saints are finding it difficult not to direct their blame on persons, the atmosphere was changed when one simple brother, entering into God’s view, expressed a heart to bring the gospel to young soldiers on the street, regardless of which side of the conflict they found themselves on. 

May the Lord help and train us all to ascend with Him, to pray from the position of His ascension, having His view and thought related to the current situation (see Lessons on Prayer, p. 197). May the Lord be merciful to us all.

Crystallization Study of the Book of 1 and 2 Samuel – Key Statements

In 1 and 2 Samuel we can see that the Triune God
with His embodiment and redemption
was fully involved with bringing forth Samuel and David
so that the kingdom of God might be brought in;
it is crucial for us to see that the Triune God is involved with us today,
operating in us to accomplish His will, fulfill His purpose,
and satisfy the desire of His heart.

There is no other way to reach the high peak of God’s eternal economy,
the reality of the Body of Christ, except by praying;
our becoming the overcomers as the reality of the Body of Christ
to be the bride of Christ will close this age, the age of the church,
and will bring Christ as the King of glory back
to take, possess, and rule over this earth
with His overcomers in the kingdom age.

Through His incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection,
Christ, who was already the Son of God,
became the Son of God in a new way–the firstborn Son-
designated as the Son of God with humanity;
in Romans 1:3-4 Christ, the Son of God, is the prototype,
whereas in 8:29 the many brothers are those
who have been “mass-produced” from the prototype
and, by being saved in life, will be conformed
to the image of the firstborn Son.

God’s economy is to work Himself into us
so that we may experience a metabolic process
of spiritual digestion and assimilation that produces transformation
as a gradual and intrinsic metabolic change
in our natural life with the divine life;
this is for the building up of the Body of Christ
to consummate the New Jerusalem.
