Weekly Pursuit – Week 2 of May
Verses:
Rev. 2:7 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.”
Excerpts:
The outcome of our High Priest’s ministering in the churches is that a number of overcomers are brought forth. We are now under this ministry. Christ is busy walking through the churches and speaking. As He walks through the churches, He speaks to everyone. His speaking is according to what He is and also according to the condition of the church. In every epistle He begins by saying who and what He is. Then He also speaks in every case according to what the church is. His speaking is both practical and equipping.
In His walking He is Christ. In His speaking He is the Spirit. At the beginning of each of the seven epistles it is the Lord who speaks. At the end it is the Spirit speaking to the churches. Your experience will confirm this. When Christ came and walked through the church in your locality, you were enlightened and rebuked. The walking Christ became the speaking Spirit. Christ is the Spirit. By His speaking you are supplied with the tree of life and the hidden manna. Then you are transformed. Little by little the muddy things are washed away, and you become a white stone, justified, accepted, and approved by God for the building up of His dwelling place, which consummates in the New Jerusalem. Christ today is busy ministering His heavenly priesthood. (The Mending Ministry of John,” Chap. 14)
