Romans (Program #51) – The Flesh and the Spirit

The Bible reveals to us three big enemies to our Christian life: sin, Satan and death. All of these three take advantage of our fallen flesh to frustrate us, but God’s approach to our flesh may surprise you. That’s the focus on today’s Life-Study of the Bible.

In these chapters in Romans, we’re seeing the three enemies and how they are seen as enemies that reign over us. In Romans 5:21, it mentions that sin reigned in death. In 5:14, it says “death reigned”. We learned from the book of Acts that Satan has some kind of authority like the power of darkness. These are the three big enemies. Now, in 5:17, we are promised that those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through Jesus Christ. more…

Romans (Program #50) – Reigning in Life Over Satan

If you want to hear a striking, encouraging and practical word on reigning in life over Satan, please listen to this message and follow it carefully.  We can in our regenerated spirit, by the Christ who is our life and the life of the Body, be victorious over and reign over Satan.

The Bible shows us three big enemies to our Christian life and no doubt we all desire to overcome them. But of these three: sin, death and Satan, surely Satan himself is our most formidable adversary. How to overcome him is our focus on today’s Life-Study of the Bible.

Romans (Program #49) – Reigning in Life Over Death

Today we look at a death, a kind of death that plagues every believer and we by grace of God can rule or reign in life over that death.

Death is a very real and powerful adversary against mankind.  But there is not only the physical aspect of death to be concerned about.  The Bibles shows that death is operating in us every day.  How can we overcome it?

Romans (Program #48) – The Meaning of Reigning in Life

We need to see that man is the battle field.  Satan as sin is in man’s flesh.  But God in Christ as grace is in man’s spirit.

The book of Romans gives us perhaps the clearest definition of God’s full salvation.  One such defining section is chapter 5, where eventual we are brought to reigning in life in verse 17.  What is it to reign in life?

Romans (Program #47) – Reigning in Life by Grace

The Bible is the book of life.  Genesis tells us about of all kinds of created life.  The gospel of John tells us how to receive and live in the divine life.  Romans reveals how we can reign in life even today.

For several programs now we have been discovering what it is to be saved in life as promised in Romans 5:10.  Today we want to go even further; to see that not only are we saved in His life, but eventually we will reign in life.  Reigning in life is the focus of today’s life study.  Only one verse in the Bible uses this phrase “reigning in life” and that is Romans 5:17…

Genesis (Program #133) – The Reigning Aspect of the Matured Israel (7)

This is our next to the last program from Genesis and soon we will be going on to the book of Romans and we certainly look forward to that.

…this particular exposition of the book of Genesis is really a spiritual classic.  We called it a life study; it’s a study in a particular sense in that we want to see how God in Christ as the spirit wants to be our life and our everything.  Especially we just like to review for our listeners, we’ve see these 9 great men in the book of Genesis – we have seen a complete picture of the believers’ experience of Christ as life for God’s eternal purpose…

Today we have another program dealing with the way that Joseph elected to reveal himself to his 11 brothers.  As Witness Lee begins today he once again is going to mention that with Joseph we do have these two lines: the line of the type and the line of life.  What does he mean by these two lines?

Genesis (Program #129) – The Reigning Aspect of the Matured Israel (4)

Once again today our life study covers the matter of Joseph and his reigning in the final stage of his life.  This is the first part of a two part message today, where Joseph in the final stage of his experience fully typifies Christ and it’s a wonderful picture.  To summarize briefly, the story of Joseph and his brothers, emphasizing how the whole world came to be under famine and all have to come to Joseph for the supply…
