The Church in Spokane
TestimoniesA Blessing and a PrivilegeI was born to parents who were meeting with the local churches. So, from the very beginning, I’ve been able to hear about, enjoy, and experience the Lord in the local churches and through reading the ministries of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee. To me, it’s a blessing and a privilege to have been in the local churches my whole life. I am so glad to be here and so grateful to the Lord for His sovereign arrangement. The ministries of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee cause me to love the Lord more and to seek after Him with my whole being for His satisfaction. These ministries have also put in me a love and a desire for the Word of God and have caused me to know, see, and experience the Person of Jesus Christ and His heart’s desire as revealed in the Bible: to gain a Bride, a match, for Himself. Another aspect of the local churches that I really treasure is that our enjoyment of the Lord is corporate and practical. Since I’ve always been in the local churches, I don’t know what it’s like to be a solitary Christian, seeking the Lord in an individual way. I do know, however, that I have a big appreciation for the believers and our mutual enjoyment of the Lord as His Body. Moreover, through enjoying the ministries of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee I’ve found that Christ is not just enjoyable on Sunday or in the church meetings, but that I can enjoy Him every day in a real and living way. As I enjoy Him in the meetings, in my daily life, and with the other believers He floods me with Himself to fill me up and to satisfy His heart. I’m so glad I can be here, as a young person meeting with the local church in Spokane, enjoying the Lord with all the believers so that He can come back. Rachel Kilgren |
