Weekly Pursuit – Week 4 of September
Verses:
Rom. 1:4 “who was designated the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness out of the resurrection of the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Excerpts:
Even the Lord Jesus according to the flesh had to be designated the Son of God. Before His designation, according to the flesh, He was just the seed of David; in that part of His being He was not yet the Son of God. But by resurrection He was designated the Son of God according to the Spirit of holiness. In the same principle, according to the flesh, we are sinners. But now that we have been regenerated, we can have our being according to the spirit. The more we walk according to the mingled spirit, the more we undergo the process of designation. Day by day, we are resurrected, sanctified, transformed, and glorified.
The more we contact the Lord by calling upon His name, the more we sense His presence and the more we are conscious of His anointing within. By calling on the name of the Lord, we are watered, we are refreshed, we are sanctified, we are satisfied, and we are strengthened. In this way we are brought into His presence, and we are made ready for His coming. The kind of teachings we need today are not the objective teachings about prophecy or about the dispensations but those regarding how we are designated by enjoying and experiencing Christ as the life power. If we have this kind of teaching, we shall realize that in ourselves we are hopeless and helpless, and we shall no longer try to improve ourselves. Rather, we shall exercise our spirit to contact the Lord so that we may enjoy His anointing and participate in the process of designation by resurrection. ( Life-study of Romans, pp. 22-23, 22, 595, 572, 574-575)
