“For if you forgive men their offenses, your heavenly Father will forgive you also; But if you do not forgive men their offenses, neither will your Father forgive your offenses” (Matt. 6:14-15).“And his master became angry and delivered him to the torturers until he would repay all that was owed. So also will My heavenly Father do to you if each of you does not forgive his brother from your hearts” (Matt. 18:34-35).This week we conclude the series with fellowship from brother Ron Kangas responding to questions from working saints during a conference held in the Northeast of the United States in September 2019.

“Moses, the man who was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and who was mighty in words and deeds (Acts 7:22), was now a little shepherd in the wilderness, a defeated and dejected man. One day, in the midst of his disappointment, God came. God appeared to Moses in a vision of a burning bush, a bush that burned without being consumed (Exo. 3:2, 16). Moses was surprised and turned aside to see this bush. It was as if God was saying to Moses, ‘Moses, you must be like this burning bush. Do not burn by yourself or act by yourself.' ” (Witness Lee, Life-study of Genesis, p. 189, Living Stream Ministry)This week we continue the series with fellowship from brother Ron Kangas responding to questions from working saints during a conference held in the Northeast of the United States in September 2019.

The subjective experience in dealing with the flesh is completely related to the Holy Spirit. A very major and basic work of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us is to work into us the fact that Christ has crucified the flesh on the cross. In other words, the work of the Holy Spirit is to have the cross on Calvary wrought into us to become the cross within us. Therefore, the subjective experience in dealing with the flesh is being executed by the Holy Spirit in us. (Witness Lee, The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1953, vol. 3, p. 376, Living Stream Ministry)This week we continue the series with fellowship from brother Ron Kangas responding to questions from working saints during a conference held in the Northeast of the United States in September 2019.

Dear brothers and sisters, our future is the Lord's coming back. We are not here miserably longing for His return…We are awaiting the Lord's coming back by daily experiencing His organic salvation… We cannot remain in the stage of regeneration; rather, we must cooperate with the Lord for Him to renew, sanctify, transform, conform, and glorify us so that God's organic salvation may be accomplished in us for the fulfillment of His eternal economy. (Witness Lee, The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1994-1997, vol. 5, p. 488, Living Stream Ministry)This week we continue the series with fellowship from brother Ron Kangas responding to questions from working saints during a conference held in the Northeast of the United States in September 2019.

“Recently, I heard a saying that the working saints are the backbone of the church. I feel that this description is most appropriate. The working saints are the backbone of the church.

“We need to migrate to strategic cities in the United States and Europe for the spread of the Lord's testimony. However, we should not carry out migrations in the way of a movement. Instead, we need to encourage the saints to receive a burden from the Lord to pray for the spread of His recovery so that the Lord may lead them to migrate to new localities in the move of His Body.” (Witness Lee, The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1981, vol. 1, p. 384, Living Stream Ministry) This week we continue the series titled, "Migration Within the United States,” with speaking from brother Minoru Chen on the importance of the United States for the Lord's move.

Finally, be empowered in the Lord and in the might of His strength. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the stratagems of the devil, For our wrestling is not against blood and flesh but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenlies. Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6:10-13. As believers who love the Lord and who are standing for His testimony, we must not be ignorant of the schemes of God's enemy in his attacks on the church. In order to help educate and inoculate us against such attacks, the co-workers in North America have released a series of articles on ShepherdingWords.com, which expose the stratagems of the devil.   This week, we have a narration of the article titled “A Warning about Rumors and False Witness” originally published on September 7th, 2024. In the Old and New Testament there are warnings against bearing false witness, spreading rumors, and evil speaking. In our daily life and especially on the internet through social media, the words that we speak and write may be easily amplified. As this article warns, we need to exercise great care in what we post, “like”, and share less we inadvertently bear false witness or spread rumors.  May the Lord supply us through this speaking and equip us to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

“The Lord will first recover the proper church life in the United States, and then He will use the United States as a central base from which to spread His recovery throughout the earth. I have no doubt that this is the Lord's recovery. From the beginning, everything related to the Lord's recovery in this country has been miraculous—it has not been man's doing but the Lord's.” (Witness Lee, The Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1968, vol. 2, p. 593, Living Stream Ministry) This week we begin a new series titled, "Migration Within the United States,” with testimonies from brothers and sisters on their migration to different parts of North America.

These testimonies were given during a gathering for working saints at the 2016 Thanksgiving Day conference in San Jose, California.

“Again, truly I say to you that if two of you are in harmony on earth concerning any matter for which they ask, it will be done for them from My Father who is in the heavens. For where there are two or three gathered into My name, there am I in their midst” (Matt. 18:19-20). This week we conclude the series titled, “Being Engaged in the Lord's Service,” with testimonies that follow brother Minoru's speaking. This fellowship was spoken during the 2016 Memorial Day conference in Washington, D.C.  The original recording can be found at: https://livingtohim.com/2016/06/working-saints-fellowship-at-the-2016-memorial-day-conference/

“The ministry of the priests is engaged especially in the service of God; their responsibility is to serve God. Their main function is to draw near to God and to wait and remain in His presence.” (Witness Lee, Truth Lessons Level 3, Volume 2, p. 126, Living Stream Ministry) This week we continue the series titled, “Being Engaged in the Lord's Service,” with speaking from brother Minoru Chen on maintaining an overcoming living through healthy practices in our Christian and church life. This message was spoken during the 2016 Memorial Day conference in Washington, D.C.  The original recording can be found at: https://livingtohim.com/2016/06/working-saints-fellowship-at-the-2016-memorial-day-conference/

“Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, This is what applies to the Levites: From twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to perform the service in the work of the Tent of Meeting. And from the age of fifty years they shall retire from the service in the work and shall serve no more. But they may minister to their brothers in the Tent of Meeting, to keep the charge, but they themselves shall do no service” (Num. 8:23b-26). This week we begin a new series titled, “Being Engaged in the Lord's Service,” with speaking from brother Minoru Chen on taking responsibility for the services in the church. This message was spoken during the 2016 Memorial Day conference in Washington, D.C.  The original recording can be found at: https://livingtohim.com/2016/06/working-saints-fellowship-at-the-2016-memorial-day-conference/

“A proper Christian life has three aspects: fighting the good fight against Satan and his kingdom of darkness for the interests of God's kingdom; running the course for the carrying out of God's economy according to His eternal purpose; and keeping the faith for participation in the divine riches in God's economy. In this Paul set up an adequate pattern for us.” (Witness Lee, Holy Bible Recovery Version, 2 Tim. 4:7, note 1, Living Stream Ministry)  This week we conclude the special series titled, “Becoming a Timothy for the Lord's Recovery,” with speaking from brother Ron Kangas encouraging us to finish the course measured out for us and to be poured out as a drink offering for God's satisfaction and the saints' delight. This is the last of six messages given at a college conference in Tuolumne, California in October 2001.

“Whatever one loves, his whole heart, even his entire being, is set on and occupied and possessed by. This is crucial! Whether there would be a day of glory in the church's victory or grievous days of the church's decline depends altogether on what kind of lovers we are...” (Witness Lee, Holy Bible Recovery Version, 2 Tim. 3:2, note 2, Living Stream Ministry)  This week we continue the special series titled, “Becoming a Timothy for the Lord's Recovery,” with speaking from brother Ron Kangas on our need to become a certain kind of person and two characteristics of the love required to maintain the victorious standard of the church. This is message five of six given at a college conference in Tuolumne, California in October 2001.

“But in a great house there are not only gold and silver vessels but also wooden and earthen; and some are unto honor, and some unto dishonor. If therefore anyone cleanses himself from these, he will be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, useful to the master, prepared unto every good work.” (2 Tim. 2:20-21)  This week we continue the special series titled, “Becoming a Timothy for the Lord's Recovery,” with speaking from brother Ron Kangas on the importance of the word vessel. To become a Timothy is not first a question of our usefulness but a question of the kind of vessel we will be. This is message four of six given at a college conference in Tuolumne, California in October 2001.  The original recording can be found at: https://ageturners.org/becoming-a-timothy-for-the-lords-recovery/

“And the things which you have heard from me through many witnesses, these commit to faithful men, who will be competent to teach others also.” (2 Tim. 2:2)  This week we continue the special series titled, “Becoming a Timothy for the Lord's Recovery,” with speaking from brother Ron Kangas on the need for Timothys to not only continue the line of recovery, but also perpetuate the line through faithful ones until the Lord comes. This is message three of six given at a college conference in Tuolumne, California in October 2001. The original recording can be found at: https://ageturners.org/becoming-a-timothy-for-the-lords-recovery/

“For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power and of love and of sobermindedness.” (2 Tim. 1:7)  This week we continue the special series titled, “Becoming a Timothy for the Lord's Recovery,” with speaking from brother Ron Kangas on the need for thousands to be raised up as today's Timothys. These ones stand in the gap as the bridge between the apostles with their ministry and the churches for the reality of the Body of Christ. This is message two of six given at a college conference in Tuolumne, California in October 2001.  The original recording can be found at: https://ageturners.org/becoming-a-timothy-for-the-lords-recovery/
