The gospel is Christ, who is the very embodiment of the processed Triune God, reaching us as the consummated Spirit, who is the consummation of the Triune God for our enjoyment. According to the truth, the gospel is the entire New Testament. Christians are used to saying that there are four Gospels, but Paul tells us that the entire book of Romans is the gospel of God (1:1, 15). It includes the preaching of God, the condemnation of God upon fallen man, and the Body life, including the local churches in chapter 16. Have you ever received such a broad view of the definition of the gospel? Personally, the gospel is a wonderful person, and according to the truth, the gospel is the entire divine revelation of the twenty-seven books of the New Testament. God’s New Testament economy is the gospel. We have to believe in such a gospel, preach such a gospel, and live uniquely for such a gospel. The consummated Spirit, who is God Himself reaching us, eventually has become the seven Spirits in Revelation (1:4; 4:5; 5:6). The seven Spirits are also a part of the gospel.
Truthwise, the gospel is the entire revelation of God’s New Testament economy, including the first verse of Matthew, “Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham,” and including the last verse of Revelation, “The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.” Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham, in Matthew 1:1 is the very grace in Revelation 22:21. In the first chapter of Matthew, the first chapter of the entire New Testament, we are also told that God was born into Mary (v. 20). The gospel includes God being born into Mary. The conception of the Savior was God’s incarnation (John 1:14). The Gospel of Matthew also includes the church. In Matthew 16 Jesus Christ our Lord told His disciples that He would build His church upon this rock, the revelation concerning Himself as the Christ, the Son of the living God (vv. 16-18). In Matthew 24:14 the Lord told us that the gospel of the kingdom, which is the gospel of Matthew, will be preached to the whole inhabited earth.
Consider how much truth is in the Gospel of John, especially in chapters 14 through 16, concerning the Divine Trinity and concerning you and me as branches of the processed Triune God (15:5). Do you realize that we are the branches of the processed Triune God? When I come to the details of John 14—16, I get excited. The Son is in the Father, the Father is in the Son (14:10-11), and eventually this Son is realized as the Spirit (vv. 17-20), so the entire Triune God comes to make an abode with us (v. 23). Where are you now? You have to say that you are in the processed Triune God. And where is He now? He is in us. This mutual abode of us in the Triune God and of Him in us is the church, and this is the central point, the focus, of the Gospel of John.
My intention is to impress you that in the universe and today on the earth there is something called the gospel, which we are reminded and commanded to live for. The Lord commanded us to live for this gospel uniquely. What are we living on this earth for? Do we live for our profession or for our job to make a lot of money? What is man living for? Poor human society has so much activity but no goal. Do we have a goal? Our goal is the gospel, and our gospel is the Triune God processed to be the very Spirit within us as our salvation, as our life, as our life supply, and as our all-inclusive enjoyment.
What a wonder and what a glory to live uniquely for such a gospel! I have been living uniquely for this gospel for over fifty years. Hallelujah for this! It is worth it. When I was called by the Lord, my thinking was that God had called me to go to preach and teach in all the villages of my county, not even to my entire province. If I had done that all my life, I would have been more than happy. I never thought that I would be speaking in the United States and in other parts of the world to an international audience. By the Lord’s mercy, I am living uniquely for the gospel.
At the end of the Gospel of Matthew, the Lord came as the very embodiment of the processed Triune God in resurrection and told us that all authority had been given to Him in heaven and on earth (28:18). The president of the United States sends ambassadors to many countries representing him with full authority, but why do we need this kind of authority, all authority in heaven and on earth? We need this authority to disciple the nations. All of us have to ask ourselves how many we have discipled. Have you believed in Him? Have you received Him? Do you have Him living in you? Are you one spirit with Him? Are you abiding in Him? Is He now abiding in you? Are you and He one? If you say yes to these questions, you have the authority in heaven and on earth to go. The worth and importance of the word go cannot be measured. Go, go, go! Go to Jerusalem first, then Judea, then Samaria, then to the uttermost part of the earth (Acts 1:8). Go to all the homes in all the countries. Go to your cousins’ homes, go to your in-laws’ homes. Go to the homes to disciple the nations.
The hundred and twenty in Acts got the authority and received power when the Holy Spirit came upon them. This qualified and equipped them to go. They went, and great things happened. But following this the church became degraded. Degradation binds and restricts the resurrected and ascended Christ from accomplishing His heart’s desire. Nearly everything revealed in the New Testament got bound, restricted, and even killed over many centuries until the Reformation with Martin Luther. Even Luther, though, did not get away from the background and the surrounding influence of Christianity. Then the Lord raised up the so-called mystics in the 1600s, such as Madame Guyon, Father Fenelon, and Brother Lawrence in the Catholic Church. Following this, in the 1700s Zinzendorf was raised up, and he practiced the church life to a certain extent. That was a great improvement. During the same time, John Wesley was raised up as an individual giant to preach the gospel. Then in the next century Darby and his colleagues were raised up to have the Brethren church practice. Their expounding of the Word of God opened up the Bible and brought much light.
William Law’s improvement of mysticism helped Andrew Murray to the uttermost. From that point onward was the line of the inner life, which included Mrs. Penn-Lewis and all the great speakers in the Keswick Convention, such as G. Campbell Morgan, A. J. Gordon, and S. D. Gordon. With T. Austin-Sparks the writings on the inner life reached their highest level. In the early 1900s Pentecostalism came out, and since the last century great preachers became prevailing, such as C. H. Spurgeon, D. L. Moody, and Charles Finney. Today there are others.
These are major items of the Lord’s move from the Reformation. All this has become history. The Reformation, however, eventually became a dead thing. Mysticism died out. The Moravian church life, which began with Zinzendorf, is far from what it once was. The inner-life line died out. Today it is hard to even hear the term inner life. What has been the result of the great evangelistic campaigns? They put out reports that thousands were gained by the Lord, but now where are they? There is hardly any increase in the statistics of the entire Christianity. The Assemblies of God have the highest rate of increase among the denominations, but it is only six percent yearly. This is a dying situation.
Now we must consider what way we should take. Should we take the Reformation way, the mystic way, the Moravian way, the Wesleyan way, the Brethren way, the inner-life way, the Pentecostal way, or the giant-preacher way? We have been under the influence of Christianity for years, and this influence is still surrounding us. It is hard for us to jump out. In 1927 I jumped out of Christianity, but I still had a Christianity “tail.” That “tail” was with me, but it was reducing all the time. It took thirty years to get this “tail” to completely disappear. We must take the new way. The new way is first to cut off the “tail.” Do not wait to reduce it. Do not say that since it took me thirty years to reduce the tail, you need more time. You can be faster. Jump into the new way to go out and visit people by door-knocking and setting up meetings in homes. Then your “tail” will be gone.
All the leavened items in Christianity are a part of the “tail.” Much of the truth taught today is full of leaven. The birth of Christ has been leavened to a mass, Christmas, and the resurrection of Christ has been leavened to Easter. This is terrible. The way we have practiced in our meetings is still a part of the “tail.” This is the old way to gather a congregation and to have a preacher, to encourage the congregation to come together every Sunday morning to hear a speaker.
You may think that there is nothing wrong for a gifted speaker to speak to you on the Lord’s Day. But the entire practice of such a meeting is a killing. The Bible tells us that we are all members of the living Body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:27), and the Bible charges us as the members of Christ to function (Rom. 12:4-6). The first item of functioning is to preach the gospel, to reach the sinners, to visit them to bring them to Christ. Have we done this? Every Lord’s Day we have had a big meeting occupying us. Actually, this kind of meeting has killed our function. Many of us have been sitting in big meetings for years, but how much fruit did we bear?
Are you happy to remain in a barren situation for years? Second Peter indicates that it is possible for us to be idle and unfruitful, barren (1:8). Suppose tomorrow morning the Lord comes back. Then according to His word in Matthew 25, you will have to give Him an account of what you have been doing. What will you tell Him? Will you tell Him that you have had a good church life in your locality, that whatever He has given you is still here? Will you tell Him that He is a hard man, reaping where He did not sow and gathering where He did not winnow? What would the Lord say? Would the Lord say, “Well done, good and faithful slave...Enter into the joy of your master” (vv. 21, 23)? Or would He call you an evil and slothful slave (v. 26)? According to Matthew 25, where will He put you? Do not forget that the one who is cast out into the outer darkness is the one who has received the real gift, one talent. This one is not only saved but also gifted. The Lord is real, He will really come back, and His word spoken in Matthew 25 will be fulfilled. This is a serious and solemn matter.
I am greatly burdened for those of you who have received my ministry for many years. I owe you this word. It is dangerous and risky not to bear fruit. I care about where you shall be — in the joy of your Master or in the outer darkness. After this fellowship, your blood shall be upon your own head and will not be required at my hand (Ezek. 33:4-9). One day you will stand before Him to give Him an account, especially concerning how much interest you have made for Him, that is, how many persons you have brought to Him. You received a talent from Him. He made a good investment in you. You must produce some interest. What have you been doing? I especially owe those of you who have been under my ministry for so many years and are not yet “on the track.” Matthew 25 will be fulfilled.
In Matthew 28 the same Lord in His resurrection told us that He had received all authority in heaven and on earth, and this is now ours; so we must go to make some interest. He not only gave us the capital, the talent, but He also gave us all authority in heaven and on earth. We have no excuse. We have to go to produce interest, to bring forth fruit. He has given us His Spirit, His life, Himself as our talent, and His authority in heaven and on earth as our portion. We are more than capable, more than able, to get the interest because the entire universe will listen to us. In the United States there are still millions who are not Christians. We have to disciple them for the Lord. He told us to baptize them into the Triune God and teach them what He taught us. Then He promised us that He would be with us to the consummation of this age. Eventually, at the judgment seat of Christ (2 Cor. 5:10), we will have to give Him an account according to Matthew 25.
We must disciple the nations according to the Lord’s new way. The first thing is to forget about the entire old way, to “cut off the tail.” In October of 1984 I went to Taiwan for us to “cut off the tail” and to pick up the new way in a corporate way. The Lord’s ordained way, revealed and recorded in the New Testament, is first to have the home meetings. Thus, we must go out to visit people in their homes. We are not just knocking on doors, but we are going out to reach people, to visit people. Actually, in Luke 10 the Lord sent the seventy to knock on doors to visit people and to go into their home and stay with them. Through my study in Taipei, I found out that this way works, but you must do it properly, not in a natural, old way but in a trained, spiritual way, in the new way. The formula of the new way has been fully proved to work in the full-time training in Taipei over the last four months.
We hope that one out of twenty saints will be a job-dropping full-timer and that one out of four saints will be a weekly door-knocker. Out of one hundred meeting in a certain locality there should be five job-dropping full-timers and twenty-five weekly door-knockers. Every full-timer who goes out at least five days for two to three hours a day can gain one every week. A team of three full-timers who goes out for five days, two to three hours a day, could knock on at least sixty doors. Out of the sixty doors they can gain four. Thus, each full-timer can gain one a week and fifty-two a year. Five full-timers then can gain at least two hundred and fifty in a year, an increase of two and a half times. The twenty-five weekly door-knockers going out two or three hours weekly can each gain at least one within two months. If each one of the twenty-five gets six yearly, they will gain another one hundred and fifty. This amounts to a fourfold increase.
Each one of us needs to wake up to be serious, to live uniquely for the gospel. When you say that you live uniquely for the gospel, you have to consider the standard of your living. Regardless of how much money you make, it should not uplift the standard. The uplifted standard will not only waste your money but also waste your time. You will spend a lot of money and waste your time and energy. Then surely you will have no time to go out. If you have a bigger lawn, either you have to mow it, or you have to hire others to do it. Thus, your money, energy, and time will all be wasted. Forget about having a higher standard of living. Every week save two hours to go out. I do not mean that you should not mow your lawn or take care of your house and belongings. But knocking on doors two or three hours a week is first. Let us all do this first. Then if there is any time left, go out a second time for two or three hours. We must live uniquely for the gospel. If you are faithful to the Lord by living uniquely for His gospel, the Lord will bless. He will bless your job or your business. He will take care of you. He will fulfill His promise in Matthew 6:33. If you seek His kingdom and His righteousness, He will give you His kingdom and His righteousness with an addition of all your daily necessities.
We have no excuse. We must learn to live on this earth uniquely for His gospel. As husbands, we care for our family, for our wife, and for our children and their education. We should take care of them, but only the living for the gospel should be the first. Suppose one hundred saints are living in a locality uniquely for the gospel. Some may be too old, and it would be hard for them to go out to knock on doors. Some may be too young to go out. Forty percent may be either the old ones or the younger ones. Thus, there are still sixty who will have no excuse. Since you mean business to live uniquely for the gospel, you have to go out. All the other ways have died out. We must take the way to knock on doors. I believe that you even can gain one every month by going out two to three hours a week. Recently in a certain locality, thirty saints went out in ten teams of three, baptized seven, and set up twelve home meetings within an hour and a half. At this rate they could baptize twenty-eight within one month, which is approximately one saint baptizing one a month. Sixty saints gaining one per month results in seven hundred and twenty a year. You may say that not all of these will be faithful ones, but even if fifty percent of these are discounted, that still means an increase of three hundred and sixty, which is more than an increase of three and a half times yearly. These statistics show that this is the way we must take.
We need to go to preach the high gospel. The booklet we have published entitled The Mystery of Human Life really works. Thousands have been saved through this booklet. In it is the central way to present people the high gospel starting from God’s creation of man. The parts of man are presented with a diagram of three circles showing man’s spirit, soul, and body. It unveils God’s intention to come into man’s spirit so that man as a container, a vessel, may contain God. This high gospel of God’s economy captures the thoughtful, educated people. After being educated, nearly every human being begins to think about the meaning of human life. Before the trainees presented the booklet, many said they were not interested. But the trainees said, “Just give us thirty seconds to read to you from The Mystery of Human Life.” This subject attracts people. After listening to the reading of the first page, many will say that it is very good. When you hear, “Very good,” that means that person is a son of peace. When he says, “Very good,” or “Not bad,” that is the time for you to say, “Let’s pray.” Then you can turn to the back of the booklet and lead him to pray and call upon the name of the Lord. Following this, read the portion in the back of the booklet on baptism and show him Mark 16:16 — believe and be baptized. Then lead him to be baptized in his bathtub. Exercise the authority in heaven and on earth that has been given to you. Regardless of this person’s status, he will be a little lamb, going along with you to get changed and get into the water. In baptism we have a very prevailing prayer: “Lord, we place this one into You. We baptize him into the Triune God.” This is the way to get people baptized within fifteen minutes.
I met a brother who is a sales manager over a region covering half of the United States. Under his management are one thousand five hundred salesmen. He told me that the way to make sales is exactly the same as our instructions to knock on doors. I was happy to hear this. He even said that there were probably some points that they could learn of us. In his training of people to sell door to door, the first point is the proper dress and behavior. He said you should neither dress too casually nor too extravagantly. We instructed the trainees in Taipei in the same way related to their appearance. The second point with his salesmen is to have a preparation time. Even their salesmen, before going out, have a time to come together to have a little conference to get themselves prepared. We shared that we need to get ourselves prepared by prayer before going out. Then they advise to keep the approach short. Do not have a long talk. A long talk will annul the deal. We have shared the same thing. Then this brother advises his salesmen to follow the training they offer. It is specific, and it works. As we have pointed out, this means not to speak your own words but to speak every word according to the training’s instructions.
In doing anything successfully there is a certain principle. You must get the principle and learn it. Do not think that to knock on doors to get people baptized is easy. No, it has its principle. There are principles in learning how to play the piano. Now we are endeavoring to live uniquely for the gospel, and no other way is prevailing but the Lord’s new way. This has been proved by Christian history for centuries. We studied many of the practices of the past and tried them. We had many of the books of the leading mystics translated into Chinese close to fifty years ago. We studied nearly all of the leading books of the inner life. I learned a lot from them. I was with the Brethren, and Brother Nee studied many books put out by the Brethren teachers. We even tried some items of the Pentecostal movement and found out that they were not profitable. We must cut off “the tail” of the leaven of Christianity to have a new way, and the new way is fully ordained by God and recorded in the Bible. It is here now for us to practice. We have tried this way, and it works.
If each one of you would rise up and go out for some time once a week for two or three hours, everyone will get one a month or twelve a year. What an increase we will have! I must be faithful to tell you this. After telling you this, you bear the responsibility. We must visit people to share with them the high gospel, that is, the Triune God Himself to be our life and content.
Our sharing of the gospel with people is to lead them to believe and be baptized. In the Bible not one who repented and believed was told to wait for some time to be baptized. Every case was that they repented, believed, and were baptized (Acts 8:36-38; 16:14-15, 31-33; 22:16). This is the biblical way. When people repent and believe, that is the right time for you to exercise your authority to authorize their baptism. The Holy Spirit honors this and confirms this. This baptism could never be a ritual. But if you ask people to wait four months and then baptize them, that baptism will become a ritual and will not bear any significance in the power of the Spirit. We do not need to wait to get into the meeting hall’s baptistery. Right away from the living room, we get them into the bathroom to exercise the power of the Spirit in baptism. What a big difference! If you would take this way and practice faithfully to go out three hours weekly for four weeks a month, I assure you that you can gain one person.
Following this, set up a meeting in their home to teach them the pure truth by first using the New Life Lessons. These lessons teach them how to start their Christian life. Then following these, we must use the Truth Lessons. The Truth Lessons were written in a way to teach the believers the truth in a very good sequence and line. If you give the new ones only a sheet of paper with points of the truth on it, they may not respect it very much. After using it, it might be put aside. However, if you would recommend these books, telling them that this series will be in four levels for four years and that each level has four volumes, they will be impressed. When they see a set of books like this, they will respect them, keep them, and treasure them.
You do not need to teach them lesson by lesson as we have done in the past one or two years. Use the line of growing in life in Level One, volume 3, that speaks concerning the real condition of a sinner, Christ’s redemption, forgiveness, regeneration, and justification, all in detail. You do not need to use the entire lesson. Circle or mark out certain paragraphs and teach them these certain paragraphs in about twenty minutes or at the most thirty minutes. Give them an assignment, telling them that they have to read the rest of the paragraphs.
You have to get yourself familiar with all the truth lessons. Then you can tell them that this set of Truth Lessons is in a good order. If they want to know where the Bible came from, there is a truth lesson to tell them. This will not be a lesson book to them but their reading material. It is written in such a way that everyone can read it. They may not understand certain phrases or terminology temporarily, but gradually they will pick them up.
If they have a question about who Jesus Christ is, show them a lesson telling them who Jesus Christ is. Ask them to read that lesson with much prayer. Then they will get the full knowledge of Jesus Christ. If they want to know what the church is, show them a lesson on the church. In other words, give them a little portion for your teaching, but assign them to read the rest of the paragraphs of a certain lesson.
Encourage them to get a copy of the Recovery Version of the Bible because they can read all the footnotes. After this, recommend to them our publications, such as the rainbow booklets, the Life-study messages, and the many other small books. Encourage them to get these publications gradually, and lead them to grow into the habit of reading the Bible and the spiritual books.
After you visit them two or three times, they will join you to knock on doors. They will learn to preach the gospel. In Taipei we even saw some right after baptism following the trainees to go out to baptize people. After half a year they will learn how to take care of the meeting. From the first day, you must tell them that this is their meeting, and you are coming only to help. They should function to take care of the meeting. They must learn how to pray, how to sing, how to call a hymn, how to read the Bible, and how to do many things. After six months they will learn how to take care of the meeting. Then after another two years they will be able to teach others. All the new baptized ones will learn to preach the gospel, to take care of their meeting, and to teach the truth. There will be thousands of homes where everyone can function, will function, and does function because they have been ushered into such a practice. Then they will spontaneously be led into the knowledge of the church and the practice of the real church life.
If in a certain locality the number is quite big, occasionally the whole church can come together once a month or once every two months. If you do not have a big hall, you can rent a place to get all the saints together. The church in Taipei has decided this year to collect all the saints together once a month, renting a stadium that can take thirteen thousand. Last November we had over thirteen thousand meeting together in this stadium. We expect to have in the next two or three months at least ten thousand meeting there for the whole day. For the rest of the days they can all meet in the homes. This is the way to have the church life.
John 15:16 says, “You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and I set you that you should go forth and bear fruit and that your fruit should remain.” In this verse there are some words that are quite crucial. The first word is set. We did not choose ourselves, but He chose us. We have no choice in the matter of being a branch of Christ, the vine, because He caught us. He chose us and set us, appointed us, to bear fruit. To bear fruit is the Lord’s setting, His assignment. He did not assign us to do anything else. He set us to bear fruit. The Lord charged us to go forth and bear fruit. Can a branch go? The branches of a physical tree do not go. But we are not only living branches but also movable branches. We have to go. This indicates that we have to reach people.
Our mistake in the past was that we did not go, yet we asked people to come. We took the wrong way. We asked people to come to our love feasts (Jude 12) instead of going to people. It is very hard for many to come to us, but when we go, we can reach people everywhere. In Luke 10 the Lord told us that He sent us as lambs in the midst of wolves, yet among the wolves there are some sons of peace (vv. 3-6). By going to them, knocking on doors, eventually we find out who are the sons of peace. God chose and predestinated them before the foundation of the world, yet today they were born into the flock of wolves. Who knows who is a son of God, a son of peace? The only way to know them is to knock on doors. By your knocking on doors, you will discover who is a son of peace, a son of God. We have to go because we have been set to go.
The Lord says that we should go forth and bear fruit and that our fruit should remain. In the past we took the wrong way. Occasionally, people came to us, and they believed and were baptized, but they did not remain because no one took care of them. This is like a mother delivering a child and then leaving her newborn baby without any care. How could she expect this baby to remain? The Lord has shown us the way for our fruit to remain. We do not just go out to reach people by knocking on their doors and bringing them into the Triune God through their believing and baptism. After this, we immediately set up a home meeting in their home. To set up a home meeting is to set up a shelter to protect this new babe. The farmers protect the fruit in their orchard. Peaches that are ripe and have just been picked need to be covered. Otherwise, the birds may eat them. This covering helps the fruit to remain. Likewise, to set up a meeting in a baptized one’s home is to set up a shelter. Then under the shelter you go back to them regularly to feed them. Surely they will be protected, they will be fed, and they will remain. This is the secret of having remaining fruit.
The picture that the Lord has shown us concerning the church life is not to ask people to come to attend our meetings. But the picture as revealed in the Bible is that we all have to go. To knock on doors really means to visit people in a practical way. Knocking on doors really means visiting. The Lord Jesus took the lead. He came down from the heavens to visit people. He did a great deal of visitation, so we should follow Him to visit people. We should go to bring forth fruit, go to disciple the nations, and go to preach the gospel. After we bring people to the Lord through baptism, we immediately set up a meeting in their home, so we continue to go. The first time we go to baptize them, the second time we go to feed them, the third time we go to teach them, and the fourth time we go to nourish them. Your going will always be a sheltering, feeding, teaching, and nourishing. By our going again and again to these new ones, they will grow.
Very few babies die after being delivered today in the United States because after the delivery the modern hospitals have the best way to protect, shepherd, and feed them. Premature or sick babies are even put in an incubator for protection and nourishment. We should keep going back to the new ones again and again. We meet with them, not in the hall but in their homes. This kind of meeting in the homes will shepherd them and will keep us alive. To come to the hall to big meetings week after week on the one hand helped us and on the other hand killed our function. Some who came into the church life were initially very active, but eventually after attending big meetings for a length of time, they became dormant and out of function with no interest and no incentive. But if we have new ones to take care of, this will be our incentive.
Our trainees have been trained not to spend too long a time at a home meeting, only twenty or at the most thirty minutes. You have to take care of two home meetings in one hour or four home meetings in two hours. When you go to the home meetings you have set up to visit all these new ones, you will be happy. Most of the nurses in the hospital who take care of the newborn babes are happy. The new ones whom you have to nourish will become an incentive to you to encourage you to work for the Lord. What happiness this will be!
Then maybe once a month or every two months, the whole church can come together. What a church life that would be! How will you feel when you see forty-five of your fruit in the meeting whom you baptized in the bathtubs? Glorious! Then when the Lord comes back, you will be bold to go to Him. All the ones you brought to the Lord will be your joy and your crown at the Lord’s coming (1 Thes. 2:19-20). This will change, revolutionize, and transfer the church life into another realm. This all depends on our faithfulness.
Today we say that we live Christ, but by what way? Is it just by having morning watch, reading the Bible in our home, and coming to the meetings on the Lord’s Day? If we are living Christ, we will release Christ out of our being to bear fruit, and our fruit will remain. This is the real church life and the real Christian life.
Your success in the new way depends upon your practice. With the right practice, you will eventually discover all the necessary details. But I assure you that the blessing will be there with you. The Lord will bless your knocking on doors. The Lord will bless your setting up home meetings, and He will bless all the home meetings if you will practice this way according to what I have instructed. Do not use any natural way. The natural way will not work. Go strictly according to the instruction of the Lord’s new way. If you will be faithful to put all these things into practice, there will be some among you to help you to understand all the fine details.
I believe that everyone can bring in one a month and that the home meetings will be very much blessed. The new ones will learn to go out knocking on doors, to take care of their home meetings, and after two or three years to teach others. Then you have to seek the Lord’s leading when to set up the Lord’s table with them. Maybe after a certain time they can have the Lord’s table meeting. You have to teach them how to live the Christian life, including their giving something to the Lord. Do not use the old way; everything must be new. Then you will see the Lord’s blessing. This is the way for the Lord to carry out His eternal economy so that He may prepare His bride for His second coming.
