Christ Enthroned - Church Revival

主僕鄭天福弟兄話語:寶座上的基督-復興教會 (有生命的供應)

每一次教會的復興都是由於豐富生命的供應。若沒有生命的供應,教會就必荒涼、乾渴。新耶路撒冷有一條生命河從羔羊的寶座流出來,(啟22:1)這說明只要羔羊在寶座上,就有生命活水的湧流,叫口渴的人得著解渴。從五旬節起,發源於寶座的生命水,自耶路撒冷開始往外流,經過撒瑪利亞,猶太全地,一直流到地極。這一道活水的源頭就是寶座上的基督。因此,凡聯結於寶座上的基督的人,都要從他們的腹中流出活水的江河,(約7:38)使整個教會得著復興。

Every church revival is due to the supply of abundant life. If there is no supply of life, the church will surely become desolate and thirsty. The New Jerusalem has a river of life flowing from the throne of the Lamb (Rev 22:1). This illustrates that as long as the Lamb sits on the throne, there will be the pouring of the living water of life that quenches the thirsty ones. Since the Pentecost, the water of life originates from the throne, that started flowing out of Jerusalem, passing through Samaria, all of Judea, and flowing to all ends of the earth. The source of this stream of living water is Christ Enthroned. Therefore, those who abide in Christ that sits on the throne, streams of living water will flow from within them (John 7:38), causing the entire church to be revived.
