The Circulation of Blood in Our Physical Body vs. The Circulation of the Divine Trinity in Our Spirit

 

The Circulation of Blood in Our Physical Body vs. The Circulation of the Divine Trinity in Our Spirit

1 John 1:3 We also proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, that you too may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 13:14 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Ephesians 4:16 From him the whole body, joined together and united by every joint of its abundant provision and by every part according to its measure and function, grows so that it builds itself up in love.

Revelation 22:1 Then the angel showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing out of the throne of God and of the Lamb in the middle of the city streets.

Revelation 22:2 On both sides of the river stood the tree of life, which yielded twelve kinds of fruit; it bore fruit every month. And its leaves were for the healing of the nations.

Burden of the Ministry

1.      The Christian life is not a religion but a divine circulation.

2.      The church life is not an organization but the flow of the Triune God.

3.      All speaking, serving, praying, and meeting must remain in this flow.

4.      Outside the flow there is doctrine; within the flow there is life supply.

5.      The divine circulation is the spiritual pulse of the church life.

Prophesying Guideline

Brothers and sisters, just as our body lives by blood circulation, our spirit lives by the circulation of the Divine Trinity. The Father's love is the source, the Son's grace is the flow, and the Spirit's fellowship is the transmission. As we pray, call upon the Lord, and contact Him, the divine current flows within us. The church life is not merely activity but the circulation of the Triune God within His people.

One-Sentence Prophesying Summary

Blood circulation sustains physical life, while the circulation of the Divine Trinity sustains spiritual life and builds up the Body of Christ.

Conclusion

God created blood circulation as a picture of a higher spiritual reality. The Father as love, the Son as grace, and the Spirit as fellowship continually circulate within believers, supplying them with divine life for the building up of the church and the fulfillment of God's eternal purpose.

Ultimate Conclusion

From the river of life in Genesis to the river of water of life in Revelation, the Bible unveils one divine circulation. Today this circulation operates within believers through the Father's love, the Son's grace, and the Spirit's fellowship. As blood is the lifeline of the physical body, divine fellowship is the lifeline of the church. God's ultimate intention is not merely that we receive life, but that we live continually in the divine circulation until it reaches its consummation in the New Jerusalem.
