by Witness Lee

This book is intended as an aid to believers in developing a daily time of morning revival with the Lord in His word. At the same time, it provides a limited review of the semiannual training held July 4-9, 2022, in Anaheim, California, on the “Crystallization-study of 1 and 2 Kings.” Through intimate contact with the Lord in His word, the believers can be constituted with life and truth and thereby equipped to prophesy in the meetings of the church unto the building up of the Body of Christ.

Witness Lee (李常受, pinyin Lǐ Chángshòu) was a Chinese Christian preacher associated with the Local Churches movement and the founder of Living Stream Ministry. He was born in the city of Yantai, Shandong Province, China, in 1905, to a Southern Baptist family. He became a Christian in 1925 after hearing the preaching of Peace Wang and later became a close coworker of Watchman Nee. Witness Lee moved to Taiwan in 1949 as the Communists were advancing in mainland China. During the 1950s, his ministry extended throughout Southeast Asia and in 1962 Lee moved to the United States, relocating the base of his ministry to Southern California. He gave his last public conference in February 1997 at the age of 91. Many of Lee's spoken messages have been published in over 400 books and translated into more than fourteen different languages. Lee's major work is Life-study of the Bible, comprising over 25,000 pages of commentary on every book of the Bible from the perspective of the believers' enjoyment and experience of God's divine life in Christ through the Holy Spirit. Lee was also the chief editor of a new translation of the Bible entitled the Recovery Version.

Go on from the Tabernacle church life to the Temple church life

If you are a seeking Christian and you want to know the reality intrinsic significance of why the Lord went from a tabernacle expression to the temple expression in the Old testament, there is a message that talks about going on or from the Tabernacle to the temple in this book. Basically God desires a more permanent expression of himself and he did not allow David to build him a house which is the temple. But he had his son Solomon build the temple. This typology is extremely important to show that Christ accomplished everything for the materials for his house but requires us his people through his spirit and calling us to be the builders of the temple with himself as the builder within us. What a tremendous Revelation that the spirit in US is the means by which God working in US causes the building up of his Temple which will consummate in the expression in the New Jerusalem.

Another six weeks of great morning readings! It was really enjoyable to see how for books like 1 & 2 kings in the Old Testament can have such a practical application to our today's Christian life. I had heard many times that the overcomers will be the co-kings with the Lord in the future, but I had never seen that even today, we are able to rein in life through Christ in our spirit! Praise the Lord that we can rule through Him!
