The Three Requirements for Enjoying the Eternal Blessing of the Triune God's Dispensing into Us

 

The Three Requirements for Enjoying the Eternal Blessing of the Triune God's Dispensing into Us

Theme Scripture:

"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." (2 Corinthians 13:14) 

According to biblical revelation and the interpretation of the brethren's ministry, 2 Corinthians 13:14 is not three separate blessings, but a complete divine impartation: God's love is the source, Christ's grace is the manifestation, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit is the transmission and application.

Through these three aspects, the Triune God imparts Himself as an eternal blessing into believers, enabling them to actually enjoy God Himself.

 

Three Essential Elements for Enjoying the Eternal Blessing Imparted into Us by the Triune God

Theme Verse

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

Divine Dispensing Sequence (Relationship of the Three)

Love Grace Fellowship Enjoyment of God Building up of the Church New Jerusalem. The Father's love is the source, the Son's grace is the expression, and the Spirit's fellowship is the transmission.

Spiritual Vision

God's eternal blessing is not merely outward blessings but the Triune God Himself dispensed into man. Love is God hidden in His essence; grace is God manifested for our enjoyment; fellowship is God transmitted into us for our participation.

Spiritual Picture

A fountain, a flowing river, and the drinking of living water. The Father is the fountain, the Son is the flowing spring, and the Spirit is the river reaching God's people (Rev. 22:1).

Biblical Examples

The Prodigal Son (Luke 15): the Father's love, the son's enjoyment of grace, and restoration into fellowship. Peter: loved, restored, and filled with the Spirit. Paul: chosen by love, strengthened by grace, and living in the fellowship of the Spirit.

Practical Application Today

Remain in God's love daily; stand in Christ's grace; walk in the Spirit's fellowship; pray in the spirit; enjoy Christ in the Word; maintain the flow of life in the church life.

Burden of the Ministry

To bring believers from merely knowing doctrines to enjoying the processed and consummated Triune God as their daily supply, life, and reality.

Prophesying Guidance

Speak concerning God's eternal love, Christ as our daily grace, and the Spirit as the living fellowship. Emphasize the Triune God's continual dispensing into His believers.

One-Sentence Prophesying Summary

The Father's love is the source, the Son's grace is the expression, and the Spirit's fellowship is the transmission whereby the Triune God dispenses Himself into us as our eternal blessing.

Conclusion

The Christian life is a life of remaining in love, enjoying grace, and living in fellowship. Through this divine cycle, believers participate in the Triune God and are built together as the Body of Christ.

Key Scriptures

2 Cor. 13:14; Jer. 31:3; John 3:16; Rom. 5:2; John 1:14,16-17; 1 Cor. 15:10; 1 John 1:3,7; Phil. 2:1; Eph. 4:3-4; Num. 6:22-27; Rev. 21:2-3; Rev. 22:1-2,17.

Ultimate Conclusion

The ultimate blessing in the universe is not something from God but God Himself. Through the Father's love, the Son's grace, and the Spirit's fellowship, the Triune God dispenses Himself into His redeemed people until this dispensing reaches its consummation in the New Jerusalem, the eternal union and mingling of God and man.

Interwoven Fellowship of the Divine Fellowship (Vertical & Horizontal Aspects)

 

Interwoven Fellowship of the Divine Fellowship (Vertical & Horizontal Aspects)

John 7:38 “Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”

John 7:39 Jesus spoke of the Spirit who would receive those who believed in him; but the Spirit did not yet exist, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

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

Philippians 2:1 Therefore, if there is any encouragement in Christ, or any comfort of love, or any fellowship of the Spirit, or any kindness or mercy,

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

Meaning

The divine fellowship is the Spirit Himself operating within us (vertical aspect) and the circulation among believers in their human spirit (horizontal aspect). These are not two separate activities but two interwoven aspects of one fellowship. The vertical aspect is our union with God; the horizontal aspect is the flow among the members of Christ’s Body.

Origin

God’s intention is that the church life is not individual but corporate as the Body of Christ. The divine life is intrinsically a flow (John 7:38-39), which inherently moves upward toward God and outward toward the saints. The Holy Spirit is the reality of fellowship, and the human spirit is the organ for its expression.

Metaphor

1. Electricity and electric current: current is the flowing electricity.

2. Circulatory system: heart (vertical supply) and blood distribution (horizontal flow).

 3. Water system: source (God) → river (Spirit) branches (fellowship among believers).

Explanation

Vertical fellowship is the flow of the Holy Spirit (2 Cor. 13:14), not merely an instrument but the reality itself. Horizontal fellowship is the mutual supply in the human spirit (Phil. 2:1). These two continuously interact and mutually lead into one another.

Effect

Produces sanctification, renewal, life supply, and the building up of the Body. It removes idle speaking and death, and brings intercession, praise, and spiritual joy.

Purpose

To bring believers into the dispensing of the Triune God (love of God, grace of Christ, fellowship of the Spirit) and to build up the Body of Christ for the fulfillment of God’s eternal economy.

Mutual Relationship

They are inseparable:
Without vertical fellowship → no source of life
Without horizontal fellowship → no Body reality
• Vertical generates horizontal desire
• Horizontal brings believers back into deeper vertical fellowship
→ A continuous interwoven circulation

Example

Paul in Philippians:
• With Christ vertically
stayed on earth for saints horizontally
• Fellowship with saints horizontally
led into prayer and joy vertically
Acts 2:42 also shows the early church in continual fellowship, breaking bread and prayer.

Application

1. Exercise the spirit to enter fellowship with the Lord
2. Speak edifying words,
avoid idle talk
3. Turn to the Lord before engaging in fellowship
4. Let fellowship lead into intercession and praise
5.
Avoid soulish criticism and negativity

Burden

To restore the true understanding of divine fellowship:

 it is not social interaction but the flow of the Spirit and transmission of life. The church must be recovered from gossip culture to spirit-filled fellowship.

Prophesying Guide

“Divine fellowship is the Spirit flowing within us, causing us to live in an interwoven circulation with God and the saints for the building up of the Body of Christ.”

Conclusion

Divine fellowship is an interwoven vertical and horizontal circulation of life. The vertical is the source; the horizontal is the flow. In this circulation, believers experience life, building, and joy.

The Divine Fellowship Is Everything in the Christian Life

 

The Divine Fellowship Is Everything in the Christian Life

2 Cor. 13:14 – “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.”
Rev. 22:1 – “And he showed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb, in the middle of its street.”
1 John 1:6-7 – “If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from every sin.”
 

Aspect

The Divine Fellowship Is Everything in the Christian Life

Meaning

The divine fellowship is the circulation and participation of the divine life between the Triune God and the believers (koinonia). It is the reality and essence of the Christian life. Without fellowship, there is no presence or supply of God (2 Cor. 13:14; Rev. 22:1). Through fellowship, God and man are interwoven and mingled, bringing growth and transformation in life.

Reason

1. God comes as fellowship through the Spirit’s flow.
2. Without fellowship, God seems to “disappear”; just as without current there is no electricity.
3. Fellowship is the basis for the Body of Christ to be kept in oneness (1 Cor. 10:16-18; 12:24-25).
4. Vertical and horizontal fellowship are interconnected; one cannot exist fully without the other.

Method

1. By the two spirits: Enter the vertical fellowship through the divine Spirit (Phil. 2:1; 2 Cor. 13:14), and the horizontal fellowship through the exercise of the human spirit (1 Tim. 4:7; 2 Cor. 6:6).
2. Through the cross: Deny the self and remove barriers to fellowship (Matt. 16:24).
3. By the Word and prayer: Speak in spirit, not in a worldly way (Eph. 6:18).
4. Through the Spirit and the cross: Fellowship is deepened and renewed.

Function

1. Mingle and interweave believers with the Triune God, resulting in growth in life (Lev. 2:4-5).
2. Correct, shape, and reconstitute us by adding divine elements.
3. Preserve the Body of Christ in oneness and advance the ministry.
4. Remove individualism and division, making fellowship the center of Christian living.
5. Blend us together into one Body.

Examples

1. The early churchcontinued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship” (Acts 2:42).
2. Paul’s blessing ofthe fellowship of the Holy Spirit” (2 Cor. 13:14).
3. John’s exhortation, “if we walk in the light, we have fellowship with one another” (1 John 1:7).
4. The river of water of life flowing in the New Jerusalem (Rev. 22:1).

Application

1. Personally: Exercise the spirit daily, maintain vertical fellowship with the Lord, deny the self.
2. Corporately: Actively participate in fellowship with the saints, open the heart, and be blended.
3. Daily life: In conversations, meetings, and service, live in the spirit, not in natural disposition.
4. For building: Preserve the Body in oneness and carry out God’s economy through fellowship.

Relevant Scriptures

Lev. 2:4-5“When you present an offering of a meal offering baked in an oven, it shall be of fine flour, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. And if your offering is a meal offering on the griddle, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mixed with oil.” (a type of mingling and fellowship).
1 Cor. 10:16-17 – “The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the fellowship of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the fellowship of the body of Christ? Since there is one bread, we who are many are one Body; for we all partake of the one bread.
1 Cor. 12:24-25 – “But God has tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to the member that lacked, that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.”
1 John 1:3 – “That which we have seen and heard we report also to you, that you also may have fellowship with us, and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
Matt. 16:24 – “Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone wants to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.”

  Conclusion: 

The divine fellowship is the essence of the Christian life. It is both vertical (with God) and horizontal (with one another). By the Spirit and through the cross, believers are blended together with God and one another, producing the reality of the Body of Christ. Without fellowship, God’s presence and the building of the Body cannot be realized.

“Returning to Grace vs Entering Grace vs Remaining in Grace vs Standing in Grace vs Enjoying Grace vs Ministering Grace”

 

“Returning to Grace vs Entering Grace vs Remaining in Grace vs Standing in Grace vs Enjoying Grace vs Ministering Grace”

Romans 5:2 Through him we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God.

Ephesians 1:6 So that we may be praised for the glory of his grace which he has graciously given us in those who are beloved.

Ephesians 4:29 Do not let any corrupting word come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up, as needed, so that grace may be offered to those who hear.

Acts 20:32 Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

Galatians 5:4 You who seek justification by the law have been separated from Christ and fallen away from grace.

God's economy is not primarily about work but about enjoying Christ.

Grace is the means by which the Triune God dispenses Himself into His people.

Church life is a corporate enjoyment of grace.

Genuine ministry is the overflow of enjoyed grace.

Those who enjoy grace become ministers of grace.

One-Sentence Prophesying Summary

Grace is the processed and consummated Triune God as our enjoyment; we enter grace by faith, remain in grace through fellowship, stand in grace by faith, enjoy grace through divine dispensing, minister grace to others for the building up of the Body, and whenever we fail, we return to grace through the cleansing blood.

Ultimate Conclusion

The goal of God's salvation is not merely forgiveness but bringing believers into the realm of grace, where the processed and consummated Triune God becomes their enjoyment. Through faith we enter grace, through fellowship we remain in grace, through faith we stand in grace, through experience we enjoy grace, through ministry we dispense grace, and through confession and the cleansing blood we continually return to grace. This ongoing cycle of divine dispensing builds up the Body of Christ and ultimately consummates in the New Jerusalem.
