The Ministry of the Word, Vol. 22, No. 11
This issue of The Ministry of the Word contains the first nine messages given during the fall 2002 term of the full-time training in Anaheim, California. The general subject of this series of messages is "Christ and the Church in the Psalms." These messages are the continuation of the unveiling of the economy of God concerning Christ and the church in the Psalms. Four words summarize the central thought of the book of Psalms--Christ, house, city, and earth. The Psalms reveal Christ as a church-loving, church-building, and church-supplying Christ. As the great Shepherd of the sheep, He leads us into the church, the house of God, and we enjoy God in the house of God. The church as the house needs to be strengthened and enlarged to become the city, which signifies the kingdom where God the King rules with His authority. When the church is built up to be not only the house but also the city, or the kingdom, the way is prepared for Christ to come and repossess the whole earth. The earth is the Lord's, and He desires to establish His kingdom manifestly on the earth. In order for this happen, the church must be built up as the city, the kingdom. But before we can have the church as the city, we must have the church as the house. We cannot have the church as the house without Christ who is everything in the house and city of God. The direction of the Psalms matches the direction of the entire Bible. We are turned from everything to Christ. Christ brings us into the church as the house of God. This house becomes the city of God, the kingdom, in reality and practicality. The Psalms end with Hallelujahs because the Lord will have come to reign on the earth. As Christ increases and there is more reality of the church as the house and the city, our Lord will come as the King of kings and the Lord of lords. The kingdom of the world will become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever. In this issue the messages cover Books Three through Five of the Psalms. In particular, they consider Psalms 73 through 110. In Psalm 73 we see our need to make a fundamental turn from the line of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil to the line of the tree of life, just as the psalmist obtained the solution to his perplexing problem through the revelation he received when he entered into the sanctuary of God. In Psalms 74 through 83 we see the desolation of God's house caused by His people's failure of not exalting Him and not giving Him the preeminence in all things; the only way of restoration is by appreciating and exalting Christ, whom God has exalted to the highest place in the universe and has determined to be the centrality and universality of His eternal economy so that God may recover the earth for His possession and Christ's inheritance. The intrinsic content of Psalm 84 is the secret revelation concerning the enjoyment of Christ as the house of God. The deeper love and sweeter experience of the house of God in this psalm come after the experience of God's dealing and stripping and are recovered by the experience of God as our unique portion and by Christ being given the unique position. Psalms 90 through 106 unveil the saints' deeper experience of God in the identification with Christ in His death, resurrection, and ascension and in His taking God as His dwelling place. Without the saints' deeper experience of taking God as their dwelling place in the identification with Christ, God does not have a way to recover His title and right over the earth. Psalm 110 shows the exalted Christ, the enthroned Christ, the Christ in His heavenly ministry, and the Christ in His second coming. He is the enthroned Christ, the exalted Christ, and the Christ in His sevenfold intensified heavenly ministry to carry out His economy to build up the Body, prepare the bride, and consummate the New Jerusalem. We need Christ as our kingly High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek to pray for us and to minister God into us so that He can save us to the uttermost and so that we can be His overcomers. The overcomers are those who cooperate with Christ's heavenly ministry in the day of His warfare by presenting themselves as freewill offerings to the Lord in the splendor of consecration and by being His young men who are like the dew to Him from the womb of the dawn. The Announcements section at the end of this issue contains a list of upcoming conferences and trainings hosted by Living Stream Ministry and a website link for information related to similar events in Europe.
