The “Four Tunings” of Divine Fellowship — Blending, Regulating, Adjusting, and Attuning

 

The “Four Tunings” of Divine Fellowship — Blending, Regulating, Adjusting, and Attuning

1 Corinthians 10:16–17 – “The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?”

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.” 

Aspect	Blending	Regulating	Adjusting	Attuning
Meaning	The intermingling of God and man in life through the Spirit, bringing divine elements into humanity to constitute oneness.	Through fellowship, different life levels and temperaments are balanced and kept from extremes.	Fellowship aligns us back to God’s will, correcting deviations and restoring proper direction.	In the spirit, believers are harmonized and tuned to God and to the Body, resonating as one sound.
Symbol	Fine flour mixed with oil into a meal offering (Lev. 2:4–5) — God and man mingled without separation.	Like the circulation of blood in the body, keeping all members coordinated.	Like machinery aligned to its center, functioning precisely.	Like musicians tuning their instruments, producing one harmonious sound.
Distinction	Focuses on the union of divine and human nature.	Focuses on maintaining rhythm and balance.	Focuses on correction of direction and position.	Focuses on spiritual resonance and unity.
Explanation	Blending is the essence of fellowship—God and man interwoven, causing growth and transformation in life.	Regulating is the function of fellowship—making relationships harmonious among members, coworkers, and couples.	Adjusting is the effect of fellowship—turning us from self-will and bias to God’s intention.	Attuning is the consummation of fellowship—bringing believers into one accord, expressing the Body of Christ.
Example	Lev. 2:4–5 – fine flour mingled with oil. 1 Cor. 10:16–17 – one bread, one Body.	1 Cor. 12:24–25 – God has tempered the body together to avoid division.	Phil. 2:2–4 – be of the same mind, same love, joined in soul.	2 Cor. 13:14; Rev. 22:1 – the fellowship of the Spirit flowing like the river of life.
Application	Allow divine elements to permeate human nature in prayer, meetings, marriage, and service.	Maintain life rhythm in coordination; restrain speech and attitude in fellowship.	When disturbed in spirit, return to God through fellowship for realignment.	In worship and intercession, be tuned by the Spirit into one voice of praise.
Interrelationship	Blending is the foundation → produces regulating → leads to adjusting → consummates in attuning. These four form a dynamic cycle of divine fellowship for the building up of the Body of Christ.
Scriptural References	Leviticus 2:4–5 – “If you bring an offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil.”	1 Corinthians 12:24–25 – “God composed the body… that there should be no division, but that the members may care for one another.”	Philippians 2:1–4 – “If there is any fellowship of the Spirit… be of the same mind, having the same love, united in soul.”	Revelation 22:1 – “A river of water of life… proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.”

 

🔹 Key Points Summary

1.      Divine fellowship is everything in Christian life (2 Cor. 13:14; Rev. 22:1).

2.      The four tunings show the dynamic process of fellowship: through it God blends, regulates, adjusts, and attunes us to be one with Him and one with one another.

3.      Fellowship is God’s way of being present—when fellowship ceases, the sense of God’s presence disappears.

4.      The vertical and horizontal aspects of fellowship intertwine, forming the real experience of divine life and oneness.

 

🔸 Conclusion

Divine fellowship is the living flow and communion of God with man.
Through fellowship, we are blended (united with God), regulated (harmonized with others), adjusted (realigned to God’s will), and attuned (unified in one accord).
These four operations bring believers into one living Body that manifests the glory and oneness of the Triune God.
