Bible Reading: 2 Timothy 1:9 Titus 3:7 Ephesians 2:10 2 Corinthians 8:2, 12:9 1 Corinthians 15:10 Hebrews 4:16 How the Bible Describes God’s Abundant Grace Whether a Christian can live victoriously and enter into the realm of spiritual abundance depends entirely on how well he knows God. In principle, once a person is saved and becomes a Christian, his knowledge of God should gradually increase until it reaches fullness. Yet in reality, this is often not the case. We mu

Hebrews 8:11 records: “For all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.” This means that the New Testament has a distinctive feature: every person who is born again can directly know God. Therefore, knowing God becomes an exceedingly important matter for every Christian. The content presented in this book is written with the hope that it may contribute to our knowledge of God. May the Father, through His Spirit, lead us into a deeper and broader knowing

Bible Reading Colossians 2:3 Psalms 32:2 Isaiah 55:7-8 Hebrews 8:12 Luke 23:34, 43 Matthew 18:21-22, 26-28 Introduction Psalm 103:7 says, “He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.” Hebrews 8:11 also records, “For all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.” These two passages speak of three levels of knowing God: Knowing God’s acts, His ways and Himself. In the lifelong experience of a Christian, God’s leading moves us

Bible Reading: Jonah 4 (whole chapter) In this final message, we will speak about God’s refining work. This is a deeper spiritual experience, yet we will try to explain it in simple and accessible terms. We must understand that God’s consistent intention is for His will to be carried out on earth, so that people may turn to Him. Therefore, He uses human beings to accomplish this sacred mission. However, God’s using us is not His ultimate purpose. His ultimate pu

Bible reading: Jonah chapter 3 (whole chapter) The focus of Jonah chapter 3 is the account of Jonah’s renewed submission to God. Once again commissioned by the Lord, he went to the great city of Nineveh and fulfilled the entrusted mission. There, he was greatly used by God, bringing in an unprecedented revival. At this point, we naturally wonder: since Jonah had disobeyed, rebelled, and even given himself over to despair, why did God not raise up someone else to replace

Bible Reading: Jonah Chapter 2 (whole chapter) Hebrews 3:1 says, “Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling...” This expresses that all Christians are holy brothers and sisters who have received a heavenly calling. Everyone who has received salvation belongs to this group of people who have been called from heaven. Speaking of the church, the church is a people called out from the world. In other words, it is a group whom the Lord Jesus has called out

Bible Reading: Jonah Chapter 1 (whole chapter) The theme of this conference is “Whom shall I send?” The term "send" carries the sense of commissioning and dispatching—being appointed and sent forth. “Whom shall I send?” is the voice of the God in heaven calling to every saint, His own people. In delivering this message, we will take the Book of Jonah as our background. The first chapter of Jonah speaks of God's Calling. I. A Perishing World Awaiting Salvation —

Bible Reading: 2 Kings 4:1-7 — A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.” So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.” Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from everywher

Bible Reading: 2 Kings 2:1-22 And it came to pass, when the Lord was about to take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. Then Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, please, for the Lord has sent me on to Bethel.” But Elisha said, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you!” So they went down to Bethel. Now the sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, “Do you know that the Lord will
