Book excerpt: In this issue of The Ministry, Brother Lee gives a summary of the fellowship concerning the practice of the new way under the Lord’s new leading from October 1984 to May 1986. At that time the Lord gave us a fresh leading in order to bring in an increase in number in all the localities and to spread His work over the whole earth. The Lord’s leading aims at a total deliverance of His recovery from the element, essence, background, environment, and tradition of Christianity. The first crucial element of the new way is the building up of the meetings in every believer’s home. Delivering the gospel, the truth, and the meetings to people’s homes is the best way to build the church locally in the Lord’s recovery and to bring in the spread and increase universally. The other two crucial elements of the new way are the teaching of the truth and keeping the Lord’s word as the center of all our various meetings. The next three messages are a continuation of the Crystallization-study of the Epistle to the Hebrews given in the winter training of 1998. Message Nineteen shows clearly that the will of God is to have Christ as the replacement for all the offerings in the Old Testament so that we may enjoy Him as everything in living and practicing the Body life for the building up of the Body of Christ as the organism of the Triune God. Message Twenty reveals that Jesus is the Author of faith, the Originator, the Inaugurator, the source, and the cause of faith. The faith of the believers is actually not their own faith but Christ entering into them to be their faith. Our believing is our appreciation of Christ as a reaction to His attraction. Message Twenty-one shows us that faith is the unique way to enjoy Christ in His heavenly ministry and to experience all the bequests in the new testament. It is the unique way to carry out God’s New Testament economy. In the last section, we include two letters from Poland and Mexico, respectively, concerning the Lord’s move in these two countries.
