Chapters: 1 2
This book is composed of messages given by Brother Witness Lee in Anaheim, California, on July 7 and 8, 1990.
A brief presentation of the Lord’s recovery    ch.1
The recovery of the divine revelation concerning God
In His essence
In His economy
The Father, as the origin, being the fountain; the Son, as the expression, being the spring; and the Spirit, as the transmission, being the flow
Not three separate Gods (Tritheism), not with two divine Fathers, and not “Jesus only”
The Father being embodied in the Son, and the Son being realized as the Spirit
The Father purposing, the Son accomplishing what the Father had purposed, and the Spirit applying what the Son has accomplished
The Son and the Father being one, and the Spirit being one with both the Father and the Son
For the dispensing of the Divine Trinity into the believers
For the believers to experience and enjoy the processed Triune God
That the processed Triune God and the regenerated believers may be mingled as one for the building up of the organic Body of Christ
The recovery of the divine revelation concerning Christ
In eternity Christ being the Word of God and God Himself
In time Christ as the Word of God becoming flesh to be a man and to tabernacle among men, full of grace and reality
Christ being both the complete God and the perfect man, possessing the divine nature and the human nature as well, to be the embodiment of the fullness of the Godhead
Christ being the all-inclusive and all-extensive One
Being the only begotten Son of God from eternity, and the firstborn Son of God from His resurrection in humanity
As the Son given, being called “Eternal Father” and, hence, being one with the Father
In His resurrection becoming the life-giving Spirit and, hence, being the Spirit and the Lord Spirit
In His resurrection and ascension becoming both the Lord of all and the Christ of God
Being the firstborn of all creation and the Firstborn from the dead
Being the One who is worthy to open the seven seals of God concerning God’s administration in the whole universe according to God’s economy
Being the Head of the Body and also being the Body of the corporate Christ
Being all the members of the new man
Being the God-allotted portion of the believers as their life and life supply today and their glory in the future
Being the foundation stone, the cornerstone, and the topstone of God’s building
Being resurrection, life, power, wisdom: righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, and the reality of all positive things
His riches being unsearchable
Giving the Spirit not by measure
His grace being sufficient for us
The recovery of the divine revelation concerning the Spirit
The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Jesus, the Spirit of Christ, the Spirit of Jesus Christ, and the Spirit of life
The compound Spirit as the anointing ointment
The life-giving Spirit
The indwelling Spirit
The sevenfold Spirit
The Spirit as the consummated Spirit to be the consummation of the processed Triune God
The recovery of the divine revelation concerning the eternal life
The life that is not only everlasting but eternal both in time and in nature
The uncreated life of God, the indestructible life, and the incorruptible life
The life that is in the Son of God and that is the Son of God
The life with which the believers are regenerated and which becomes the believers’ life, making the believers the children of God and the members of Christ
The life on which we should lay hold
The recovery of the divine revelation concerning the believers
The believers being tripartite beings of spirit, soul, and body
The believers being redeemed, justified, and reconciled to God in Christ
The believers having been baptized into the Triune God to have an organic union with the processed Triune God
The believers being regenerated in their Spirit by the Spirit with the divine life, which is Christ, to be the children of God, having the divine nature, and the members of Christ in the union of the divine life
The believers having been crucified with Christ, being terminated in their old man
The believers having Christ living in them as the pneumatic Christ, the Spirit, indwelling them
The believers having been sanctified positionally by the blood of Christ and being sanctified dispositionally by the Spirit, that they may be renewed, transformed in their soul, conformed to the image of the firstborn Son of God, and glorified in their body in the glory of the processed Triune God
The believers being saturated with the dispensing of the Divine Trinity in their tripartite being so that they are mingled with the processed Triune God
The believers being joined to the Lord as one spirit
The believers being the branches of Christ as the vine tree, the organism of the Triune God, to express the processed Triune God in bearing fruit for the increase of Christ
The believers being God’s New Testament priests of His gospel to offer the saved sinners as sacrifices to God
The recovery of the divine revelation concerning the church
The church being the church of God, chosen and predestinated by God the Father, redeemed by God the Son, and sealed by God the Spirit
The church being the Body of Christ, the fullness of the One who fills all in all, as His expression, united organically to the resurrected, ascended, and transmitting Head
The church also being the fullness of the processed Triune God, filled with the riches of Christ and with the immeasurable Christ
The church being the counterpart of Christ as His increase, a glorious church, holy and without blemish
The church being the new man created in Christ, through His cross, with the Jewish and Gentile believers
The church being the mingling of the processed Triune God with the believers, being built up as the organic Body of Christ by the gifted members and by each functioning part through the growth in life
The church being the house of God, the dwelling place of God in our spirit
The church being the kingdom of God today, the reality of the kingdom of the heavens
The church existing universally as the unique universal church, but being expressed locally as many local churches
This all being according to the arrangement of God’s eternal economy
The recovery of the church ground
The definition of the church ground
Not the foundation but the site
The three crucial elements of the church ground
The unique oneness of the universal Body of Christ
The unique ground of locality of a local church
The reality of the Spirit of oneness
The genuine ground of the church keeping the genuine oneness of the church in practicality
The base of the genuine fellowship of the believers
The recovery of the practice of the local churches
The need of the local churches
The many expressions of the One Body of Christ
Existing in a locality as a city
The administration of a local church
By the elders
Not under the control of a high church
With the ministry of the apostles, prophets, evangelists, and shepherds and teachers
Without any absolute autonomy or federation
The building up of a local church
The building up of a local church being for the building up of the entire Body of Christ

To keep the universal oneness of the Body of Christ

Every local church needing to receive all kinds of genuine believers in Christ
A believer to be kept away from the fellowship of a local church because of only three things
Being divisive
Being heretical
Committing gross sins and living in them
How to deal with the divisions
Considering them divisive sects
Not recommending any believer in the local churches to have any share in the divisions
