Miraculously Normal Living (1) | Living to the Lord May 17, 2021

Show notes

“The real meaning of being full time is to live to Him. To go full time does not mean to drop your job and become a preacher… A full-timer is one who lives to the Lord. Every believer, without one exception, should be such a one. As long as you are a believer, you have to realize that you should be one living to Him. We have to live to Him because He is ours and we are His." (Witness Lee, Elder’s Training Book 8, Chapter 8. Living Stream Ministry).

In this episode, we begin a new series entitled “Miraculously Normal Living,” with excerpts taken from a time of fellowship in the summer of 2008 in Southern California. In this episode, Brother Minoru describes what it means for us to live to the Lord, which is the real meaning of being a full-timer.

Our Response (3) | A Total Consecration Apr 19, 2021

Show notes

“There is the need of revival and an overcoming living. To practice Ephesians 4:11-16, there is the need of total consecration. In everything, seek the growth in life and in all things, grow up into the Head, which is Christ. The more consecrated we are, the more we will receive... It is never too late to start, and it is never too much to get up after we fail.” - Andrew Yu (April 2008)

In today’s episode, we continue our series entitled "Our Response,” featuring a short word by brother Andrew Yu spoken in April 2008 on the need to take ownership of our spiritual life. Every morning we have to make a resolution to live spiritually.

Our Response (1) | A Review of the Burden Apr 05, 2021

Show notes

There are many obstacles that hinder us from having a vital living, and we often try to overcome them by ourselves, only to fail. The secret is to face the obstacles together - by praying together, fellowshipping together, researching the ministry together, and addressing them together - so that we can enter into a vital living.

In this episode, we begin a new series entitled “Our Response,” with excerpts taken from a time of fellowship in the Spring of 2008 in Anaheim, California. In this meeting a number of young adults or working saints gave their testimonies of how they endeavored to enter into a vital living. We hope that by listening to these sharings, we would all be encouraged to pursue what we have heard thus far. You can find the original recording on livingtohim.com here.

The 3 fellowship times referenced in this episode are included in the first two series of this podcast, “Being Vitalized” and “Our Commission”, and their full recordings can be found on livingothim.com: first, second, and third fellowship times.
