The Living to Him Podcast

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 titled “Encountering Opposition.” This article addresses an unpleasant subject - being confronted by those who speak against us - and a surprisingly pleasant way to respond to them. This is not a set of instructions on how to defeat opposition, but an admonition for us to realize that those humans who oppose us are not our enemies. We should approach them in love and take the Lord Jesus as grace to empower us to not be offended by their speaking. Further, we should pray for them and seek to minister something positive of the truth to them.

May the Lord supply us through this speaking and equip us to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand (Ephesians 6:13).

“For if you forgive men their offenses, your heavenly Father will forgive you also; But if you do not forgive men their offenses, neither will your Father forgive your offenses” (Matt. 6:14-15).

“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. One day, in the midst of his disappointment, God came. God appeared to Moses in a vision of a burning bush, a bush that burned without being consumed (Exo. 3:2, 16). Moses was surprised and turned aside to see this bush. It was as if God was saying to Moses, ‘Moses, you must be like this burning bush. Do not burn by yourself or act by yourself.’ ” (Witness Lee, Life-study of Genesis, p. 189, Living Stream Ministry)

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 dealing with the flesh is being executed by the Holy Spirit in us. (Witness Lee, The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1953, vol. 3, p. 376, Living Stream Ministry)

“But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of Christ” (1 Cor. 11:3).

“Wives, be subject to your own husbands as to the Lord; For a husband is head of the wife as also Christ is Head of the church…Husbands, love your wives even as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her” (Eph 5:22-23, 25)

Dear brothers and sisters, our future is the Lord’s coming back. We are not here miserably longing for His return…We are awaiting the Lord’s coming back by daily experiencing His organic salvation… We cannot remain in the stage of regeneration; rather, we must cooperate with the Lord for Him to renew, sanctify, transform, conform, and glorify us so that God’s organic salvation may be accomplished in us for the fulfillment of His eternal economy. (Witness Lee, The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1994-1997, vol. 5, p. 488, Living Stream Ministry)
