17 to 19 April, Lord's Day

Bro Jean Paul(origin: Guadeloupe) and Sis De Angelis Assunda(Rome, Italy) Bro Adrean and Sis Cormelia from Brussels, they are Romanica. PARIS The conference in Paris(17 to 19 April, 2009) The general subject is The Continuation of the Book of Acts. Msg 1, given by Bro Jean, the content of the msg-Mystery of human life, God's economy, Eating Christ, when we receive the life of God, we become the continuation of God. Therefore, we need to be continuing to be witness of the resurrected and ascended Christ and continuing to be filled with the Holy Spirit inwardly and outwardly. Attendants:140. Msg 2, given by Bro John Brook. Acts 26:16, But rise up and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a minister and a witness both of the things in which you have seen Me and of the things in which I will appear to you. The continuing appearing of the Lord to Paul results in half of the NT. Paul did not received the revelations of the things without seeing Christ. In any light that we received from the Lord, we must see Christ. And we need to propagate the resurrected Christ as the kingdom of God. The kingdom here refer not to kingdom of nation but rather Kingdom of Cats or Kingdom of Human. It depends on what kind of life we have. As those who have received the divine life, we had become parts of the kingdom of God. our ministry is to propagate the resurrected Christ as the kingdom of God. Msg3, by Bro Hector. There were two principle: the princile of law and the principle of grace. The principle of law which is a standard given by God to us that is high, where even we put efford to catch up, we will never meet it(Roman 7:24). Yet Christ who can meet the standard of God had come. He is in us as the LGS. He wants to be our life and life supply and everything,this is the 2nd principle. Paul's ministry and living by grace were an undeniable testimony to Christ resurrection, therefore if we would be in teh continuation of Acts, we need to continue in the grace of God. In our reading of Acts, we need to devote our full attention and concentrate our entire being on the vision of God's NT economy. God's economy is focused on the all-inclusive Christ as our life, our person and our everything, to make us His living members to be His corporate vessel for Hios expression. This is the vision that Paul saw and what we need to see today."I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision." May we all continue to be faithful to the vision of God's NT economy. Msg. 4, by Bro Les and Bro Simpson. In the four Gospel, God moved in Christ singly as a personal vessel; now in the continuation of Acts, God is moving in the church as a corporate vessel. We should not take any action apart from the all-inclusive Spirit."Lord, I will go where You go, and I will not go where You do not go!"We and the Spirit must be one! Just like the picture in the book of Ezekiel. The four living creatures are one(Ezekiel 1:20, the spirit of the living creature, singular) and the wheels(signified God's move in His economy)follow the living creatures, adn the creatures follow the spirit, but the spirit is in the wheels. God continues to move on, He never stop. He is the flowing Triune God, flow out from the eternity past and continue to flow. From this unique stream, comes the church history. Now this divine stream had come back to Europe!What we must do today is to go along with the flowing! we must maintain the flowing of the stream within us by giving the flow the preeminence. Attendants:150. Lord's Table and msg. 5, divided to two groups, one is for french speaking and english speaking, another group is for chinese speaking. The room for French and english speaking overflowing, they ask all those who can understand Chinese to give up their sits. So, I joined Chinese speaking saints. There were about 50 saints in Chinese group. Message were given by Bro Yue and Bro Simpson. The general subject " The Continuation of the book of Acts" is actually basedd on Acts 28:31, Proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, unhindered. Therefore, the book of Acts has not ended. Rather, it has been left open so that more may be added and we are the continuation of the book of Acts. To be in the continuation of Acts, we need to have 8 continuing.1. Continuing to be the witnesses of the resurrected and ascended Christ. 2. Continuing to be filled with the Holy Spirit inwardly and outwardly. 3. Continuing itn the things in which we see the Lord. 4. Continuing to propagate the resurrected Christ as the kingdom of God. 5. Continuing in the grace of God. 6. Continuing to be faithful to the vision of God's NT economy. 7. Continuing to live in the unique move of God's economy. 8. Continuing to live in the divine history within the human history for the spreading and building up of the church as the corporate manifestation fo Christ. This is the sumary for the whole conference. The last message is on point 8. Brother use the great human image in Daniel Ch2 to summarize the human history. And the daily life we are having now is writing a history. 50 years later, when the next generation review what had we done today, it will be a history to them. So, what kind of life do you wish to have? Do you aim to be a president, to have great achievement, to be a part of the great human image? or you choose to be a part of the crushing stone? to take the way of the Lord's recovery is not cheap, this way requires a costly consecration. It is a small number who will turn the world and change the age. Saints, may we all writing the divine history in our daily living, that we would be in the upper room, have our whole being "married" to the heavenly vision and "burn the bridges behind us", burning for the Lord in spirit and burned others also with the divine fire of the divine life."Lord, I am willing to be in the upper room for the recovery of Your testimony." 12 saints stood up and share,"Since we are in the divine history, we must be consider worthy to Him. In our daily living, we shouldn't be captured by Satan, but daily calling on Him, that we might be saved...""Divine stream is always flowing, but when it flows ot me, I may had stop the flow, I need to renew my consecration, to be the continuation of Acts, supply Christ to my coursemate...""...We know that the Lord is coming back soon, what will you do?...""It doesn't matter whether we like to preach gospel to the Franch of not, it is the Lord who had put us here. Therefore, we must play our portion...""French aree very proud, but we have the reality, what we have is real. We must preach to them, and one day, the Lord will lead them to turn...""May the proclaiming of His word, unhindered..."Amen! below is some data from a report: Over 20 new ones who attended the Paris conference have indicated that they want a personal Bible study; over 10 in the Paris area will be contacted right away.
