Some points that impressed me:

MESSAGE 7


Wherever the Lord went there is Satanic chaos, i.e., Pharisees, Saducees, Romans, Jews, etc.
The Lord's way is not to bring us out of chaos, but lead us into chaos, then lead us into Christ, into the divine economy.

From outline:
"IC. The Lord needs the overcomers, produced by Him as the sevenfold intensified Spirit, who will be one with Him to conquer the destructive satanic chaos and triumph in the unique divine economy - 2 Tim 1:10; Rev 2:7; 12:11; 17:14

II. We need to be intensified by Christ as the sevenfold intensified Spirit in His ministry in the stage of intensification to overcome the attack of death upon the church and to build up the Body of Christ in the resurrection life of Christ. - Matt 16:18; John 11:25; Eph 1:22-23; 4:16."


MESSAGE 8


From the outline:

"I. Christ as the sevenfold intensified Spirit is operating to produce the overcomers in order to turn the age and bring in the kingdom of God. - Rev 1:4; 3:1; 4:5; 5:6; 11:15; Dan. 2:34-35; 44

ID. The sevenfold intensified Spirit is the eyes of Christ as the redeeming Lamb and the building stone to observe and search us ad to infuse and transfuse us with Christ's essence, riches, and burden for God's building. Zech. 3:9; 4:7; Rev. 1:14; 5:6"


MESSAGE 9


From the outline:
"I. To follow the Lamb wherever He may go is to be one with the crucified, resurrected, ascended, and enthroned Redeemer in His move to carry out the divine administration for the consummation of the divine economy - Rev. 14:4b; 5:6.

III. We need to follow the Lamb in the consciousness of the Body of Christ - v. 4b; Eph. 1:22-23; Col. 1:18; 2:19; 3:15

IV. In Revelation 14:1-5 we see the characteristics of the overcomers who follow the Lamb wherever He may go:
A. They are eventually raptured as firstfruits to God and the Lamb for the delight and satisfaction of God and the Lamb - v. 1a
B. They have the name of the Lamb and the name of the Father written on their foreheads; this indicates that they are one with the Lord and are possessed by Him. - v. 1b
C. They sing a new song before the throne; no one can learn this new song, a song that must be in accord with their experiences of the Lamb, because no one else had their specific and particular experiences of Christ - v.3
D. No lie is found in their mouth; this indicates that in their expression there is nothing of Satan, the devil, the father of all liars and the source of lies - v. 5a; John 8:44
E. They are without blemish; this indicates that they are without spot or wrinkle and are perfect in the holiness of God, absolutely sanctified to God and fully saturated with God - Rev 1:5b; Eph 5:27; 1 Thes 5:23
F. They are purchased from the earth and from among men; they belong to the Lord absolutely and do not allow anything or anyone to hinder them in following the Lamb - Rev 14:3

VI. The overcomers who follow the Lamb wherever He may go eventually are raptured to be with the Lamb on Mount Zion in the heavens - 14:1; Luke 21:36"

The firstfruits are those who follow the Lamb.
Overcomers are just good followers.
Caleb, example in the Bible of a good follower. He fully followed the Lord. He was never a leader but a good follower.
Elijah and Ruth, other examples of good followers.
The disciples followed the Lord and became the pillars.

Follow the Lamb,
Run the race before you,
drop all the encumbrances and burdens.


We need to follow the Lamb all the way.
Just follow the Lamb wherever He goes then we will end up in Zion.



(Due to work and school, I wasn't able to hear the messages 1 to 6.
All the photos I've taken were uploaded here, coz I don't have enough time to sort them out then upload it...
As usual, I confess that I'm not a photographer, so photo quality is admittedly not ok.
Due to my sitting so far back, I can only take pictures of what's happening onstage through the tv...:p)

Bro Andrew Yu's Fellowship with the Young Working Saints




Date: October 11, 2008
Venue: 2000-seater hall Malabon meeting hall
Attendance: 363 saints
Speaker: Bro Yu and Bro Hsu

My notes...

2 charges of brother Lee:
Read the Recovery version
Don't waste your time, time flies, redeem the time because the age is evil, seize the opportunity
Time is opportunity, missed the opportunity then wait for another
Grab one opportunity after another
Time comes, grab it!
Catch the fishes coming in
God want to use you for His step, be His stepping stone, you'll become useful
Revelation 4 - dragon cast out, opportunity getting short
Overcomers seize the opportunity
Bright future, seize the opportunity

Pick up the tune
Brother Lee spent 5 years for the God-ordained way, everyone will function
Few dedicated people present, lack of consecration
Everyone should be involved
The Lord wants all the saints
Everyone of us in whatever we do, all of us are living functioning members in the Body of Christ
Be revived every morning, open your home for the saints
Don't live by yourself, live for others
Put your life in order
Not aspiring to be spiritual giants but living functioning member
Home meeting gain new ones

Join the full-time training
Gospelizing Taiwan and the whole world

We are like frogs, leading amphibious lives. When not in meeting, we are in water, enjoying the world, being one with the world. When meeting time comes, we jump out of the water, on land for meeting and enjoying the Lord, but after meeting, we go back to our old way of living.

We need to be vital persons - bringing people to be saved, spontaneously we would become vital
Open up yourself for God's move
You need consecration
Consecration should be clear and sure - help your life
Build the altar and have a strong consecration
Consecration is the beginning, gateway for a vital living

Get yourself vitalized, get a spiritual companion to practice the God-ordained way

Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea - 7 conditions

Last 3 conditions - you are in them and may fluctuate all the time
We need to be careful of where we might end up (as shown in the picture on the board that bro Andrew had drawn)

Christian life is a life of overcoming
Overcoming in the midst of all the situations

Rise up early
Have morning revival every morning
Have spiritual companion
Schedule of pursuing the truth
Attend church meetings
Every week go out and contact people
Sanctified finances

Revelation - book of overcomers - about overcomers and for overcomers
Revelation 19:10 - testimony of Jesus is the spirit of this book of prophecy
Testimony of Jesus - all the overcomers throughout all the ages - testimony of Jesus in that age
Up-to-date vision - testimony of the age - the testimony of Jesus
Throne - backdrop of the world situation
Vision of the Babylon - antitestimony
Vision of the New Jerusalem - conclusion
Eve - mother of all creation - vision
Abel - offering up sacrifice from the flock - killed but as the testimony of Jesus
The vision was passed on until the end

Let us continue to run the race - be the cloud of testimonies
The older ones would let go of the baton, but the young ones need to be vitalized to get the baton
Run the relay - same speed
Follow the vision of the age
Never too late to have a new beginning, new consecration, speed up
Consecrate ourselves to the Lord then it would pave the way for us to walk
Become a normal Christian - normal church life
Gain at least one fruit in one year
Establish a normal living
