This was the subject for the past Memorial Day conference. We've watched the first three messages, here are a few highlights from each.

Message 1:
We should know God's central thought, God's central work, and live in the divine romance. God's central thought is His eternal purpose, which is to gain a corporate expression of Christ on earth. God's central work requires our cooperation, for Him to work in us (NOT for us to try and work something out for Him). In order to give the Lord cooperation, we should pray, Lord Jesus make home in my heart, I open my whole entire being to You. Our living is the expression of what we are, we cannot express something we are not. Let's gain Christ! As the Bridegroom, the Lord desires a Bride that matches His love. He will not marry a Bride who puts Him second. First love to the Lord.

Message 2:
Enjoy the Lord by eating, touching, and absorbing Him. To be full of emotion is a sign of life. Just as the Father receiving the prodigal son was full of affection, our God is One full of feeling and we must also be those touched with what is on His heart. He desires men to be saved, our feeling must be the same. We are ugly when we are not in our spirit.

Message 3:
Grace is Christ Himself. Grace is the greatest truth in the Bible. Grace means God is, we are not. We must have this total living of grace, not just when we are in a low situation or problems arise. We also need to know the Body, this knowing is intrinsic and subjective, not merely doctrinal knowledge. Our knowing of the Body depends on our seeing of the vision of the Body. The reality of the Body of Christ is not outward, it is not simply the gathering of saints or reading the same material. Christ is the reality. We have the law of the Spirit of life within us governing and restricting us for the building up of the Body. Ephesians 4:29 "Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but only that which is good for building up, according to the need, that it may give grace to those who hear."

Lord, we consecrate today for the fulfillment of Your eternal purpose. We confess, without You, we are nothing.
