A Digital Newsletter from Living Stream Ministry
October 2024, Issue No. 33
The word incorporation has been used in the ministry publications to indicate persons indwelling one another and their mutual working together as one. According to its literal sense incorporation means to add or form into a body (derived from the Latin words in ‘in’, and corpora, the plural of corpus ‘body’, and English suffix -tion indicating a process or result). Incorporation refers either to the process of bringing unjoined entities into union with something already in existence or to the result of that process. While the Triune God in His eternal existence is without corporeality, i.e., without a physical body, when the Lord revealed the matter of mutual abiding or incorporation, He was a man in the flesh, abiding in the Father, allowing the Father to abide in Him, and working together with the Father as one. As such He became the pattern and prototype for the reproduction of His life with the Father in the believers so that they could be an enlarged divine-human incorporation, resulting in the believers’ participation in the Father’s house (John 14—emphasizing persons indwelling one another), the Son’s vine (John 15—emphasizing their working together as one), and the Spirit’s child (John 16 and 17—emphasizing the producing and building up of the Body of Christ as the one new man).
As we finish the last of our gospel trips which began in May and ended in mid-September, we are full of praise and thanksgiving to our Lord Jesus Christ, who prepared the French-speaking people to receive the seed of the gospel of the kingdom. We believe that in a number of cities they will become God’s farm, God’s building.
