As believers who love the Lord and who are standing for His testimony, we must not be ignorant of the schemes of God’s enemy in his attacks on the church. In order to help educate and inoculate us against such attacks, the co-workers in North America have released a series of articles on ShepherdingWords.com, which exposes the stratagems of the devil. This week we have a narration of the article t...

“Moses, the man who was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and who was mighty in words and deeds ( Acts 7:22 ), was now a little shepherd in the wilderness, a defeated and dejected man.

Moses was surprised and turned aside t...

The subjective experience in dealing with the flesh is completely related to the Holy Spirit. A very major and basic work of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us is to work into us the fact that Christ has crucified the flesh on the cross. In other words, the work of the Holy Spirit is to have the cross on Calvary wrought into us to become the cross within us. Therefore, the subjective experience in dea...

“Recently, I heard a saying that the working saints are the backbone of the church. I feel that this description is most appropriate. The working saints are the backbone of the church.

“The phrase ‘living to Him’ is difficult to translate. It does not mean to live for the Lord. It means to live unto Him. To live to Him means that we and the Lord are one.

In such a way we live a life of living to the Lord and being one with Him.” (Witness Lee, Messages Given to the Working Saints , p. 89, Living Stream Ministry) This w...

These testimonies were given during a gath...

“We need to migrate to strategic cities in the United States and Europe for the spread of the Lord’s testimony. However, we should not carry out migrations in the way of a movement. Instead, we need to encourage the saints to receive a burden from the Lord to pray for the spread of His recovery so that the Lord may lead them to migrate to new localities in the move of His Body.” (Witness Lee, The...

Therefore take up the whole armor of G...

“Now the Lord intends to use the United States as a center for the spread of the church life.
