How to Enjoy Heavenly Kingdom (3) Heavenly Kingdom Is In The Midst of Two or Three of You

** Scriptures Reading：
：Mt 18:15-20, Ac 2:41-47, Ep 4:1-16, James 5:13-20, 1 Jn 5:13-17
1. What kind of two or three persons?
1) Not: [Two or three persons] who live in [false belief system]
- For anyone who [does not know Jesus Christ], the heavenly kingdom cannot descend upon his heart. On the contrary, he will have
many deceptions, accusations, fears, worries, inferiority complex, pride, greed, complaints, etc…<Ep 2:1-3, Ro 3:9-20>/ in the
spirits of [religious persons (Pharisees, Sadducees, priests, teachers of the law, etc)], there are certainly 7 times more wickedness
<Mt 12:43-45>; therefore, in their interpersonal relationships, they cannot see the loving kindness and grace of God; in their
families and fellowships, surely [condemnation, judgment, comparison, competition, hypocrisy, ironies, struggles, divisions] and
the like will appear / The greater their numbers grow, the more prejudices they develop; the more intimate the relationship, the
more bounded they are; the more serious they serve, the more they sin against God…
2) But is: [Two or three persons] who always see [heavenly kingdom in their hearts], love to converse with God, walk with God <Ac
1:1-2:47>
* Those who heard Christ’s gospel → cut to their hearts → repented → baptized → sins were forgiven → received the Holy Spirit →
entered into the fellowship of Christ disciples…
- Those who are transformed by the renewing of the minds, set apart from the world = out of darkness and into the light, broke away
from Satan and turn to God, out of curses and into eternal blessings
- Those who already received new life, and already built the [holy temple] in Jesus Christ, and who strive to [live out Christ]
- Those who understood the mystery of [relying on Holy Spirit, casting out demons, enjoying heavenly kingdom], at all times, in all
things love to [converse with God and submit]
- Those who understood [dying and resurrecting together with Christ] and thus received new life, and also comprehended that they
must rely on [Christ’s power of resurrection] in all things
=> Only those who are [poor in spirit, mourn, meek, hunger and thirst for righteousness, merciful, pure in heart, peacemakers,
persecuted because of righteousness] (people with 8 beatitudes, lamb of God, who are chosen and called), can know Jesus Christ,
and know how to rely on Holy Spirit, submit to God, and thus enjoy the heavenly kingdom <Mt 5:1-12>
3) But is: The [two or three persons] who already received [same (one Father, one Lord, one Spirit, one baptism, one body)], and who
strive to make [the (conditions, gifts, roles) which are different] join together, and make every effort to [glorify God, benefit man and
build kingdom] together <Ep 4:1-16>
- The mystery of husband and wife loving each other and enjoying the heavenly kingdom together is based on this; the secret of
parents and child enjoying the heavenly kingdom together is also based on this
- The mystery of meeting blessed people (people loved by God = people with 8 beatitudes), and thus receiving [the heart of human
relationships], and continually expanding the heavenly kingdom is also based on this
- The secret of building blessed small groups, fellowship, church, and being able to receive [the vision from heaven], and also can
receive [disciples of the era and the gifts they bring], and building [Christ Life Churches] everywhere is also based on this
4) But is: The [two or three persons] who love to [worship with, learn from, pray with, confess sins to, intercede for, testify the Lord to]
one another <Mt 18:15-20, James 5:13-20, 1 Jn 5:13-17>
- A fellowship of holy people who truly understands [the things that will occur when brethrens gather together] /a fellowship of holy
people who truly understands [man’s root problems, Christ’s gospel, the blessings of beloved holy people] /a fellowship of holy
people who truly understands [the process of the spiritual warfare and the sanctification of saints] / a fellowship of holy people who
truly understands the enormous effect of [confessing sins to one another, interceding for one another] /a fellowship of holy people
who is truly concerned about [the life contact network of every saint]…
2. [When] and [how] will the heavenly kingdom appear?
1) Every time when a born-again person appears in the fellowship of holy people / every time when [holy people who are called] praise
the [salvation in Christ] together <Ac 2:37-41, Lk 15:1-10>
=> [in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents…] <Lk 15:7,10> = that kind of joy will
appear on the face of a born-again person = will also appear on the faces of those who spread the gospel and help others to be born
again = in the hearts of the holy people who heard testimonies of the transformation of the lives and power of born-again persons,
the heavenly kingdom will appear
=> Whenever holy people remember that they are born-again, chosen, loved, called, blessed, their hearts are filled with joy → every
time when the fellowship of holy people who truly know the mystery of born again gathers and praises the eternal salvation that is
in Christ, there the joy, power and gifts of the heavenly kingdom will appear richly. Blessed holy people will all see the eternal
blessings brought about by being born again, their lifetime direction and methods will be firm, and they will receive eternal
comfort and joy…at that time, many wonders and miraculous signs will appear in the spirits of holy people, and also in their
living…
2) Every time when a person learns to [live out Christ] <Ac 2:41-47>
①Using the message of Christ, teach the new man who is just born again [how to know God, know his own self, how to converse and
walk with God in all things]
<2 Ti 3:14-17, Ep 1-6, Gen 12-24 (the blessed life of Abraham), the exodus of Israel out of Egypt and its entry into Canaan>
= 7 key elements => born again → establish covenant → perfect will/Holy Spirit → communion → walk with God → evangelise
→ disciples (church)
= Cross message → 5 gospel messages → 20 basic lessons → 10 healing messages (how to restore)
 ②Master the whole Bible (the word and voice of God) Coherent structure and system <Lk 24:44-49, Ac 1-2 → Ac 3-28>
= Center on [Christ (main character/head), promises (goals/methods), life (born again/sanctification/serving), spiritual things
(heavenly kingdom)]
= Old Testament (Books of Laws/ Books of History/Books of Prophets/Books of Songs), New Testament (4 Gospel
Letters/Acts/Church Epistles)
③Through the whole Bible continue to share [Jesus Christ and Him crucified on the cross] <1 Cor 2:2-3, Jn 5:39>
= Bible Overview / Today Jesus / Bible messages / Theme messages
=> Every time when [the message of Christ Immanuel] is proclaimed, the gates of heaven open, the Holy Spirit works greatly, every
saint confirms once again [the eternal promises in Christ], receives the ideology of Christ and the perfect will of Christ in all things,
yearns to pray in the name of Jesus Christ. At that time, every saint who attends church meeting is filled with the Holy Spirit,
receives stronger faith, receives wisdom, receives healing, receives freedom, receives power, we can see the heavenly kingdom in
their midst…
=> Every time when a person learns about [the loving kindness and grace that Christ displayed in the lives, living, lifetime of
Abraham, Moses, David, apostles and holy peoples from generations to generations, the same grace will come today] upon the
[holy people and fellowship] who similarly believe and submit…
3) Every time when holy people [worship with, pray with, confess sins to, intercede for] one another <Mt 18:15-20, James 5:13-20, 1 Jn
5:13-17, Ac 2:41-47, 3:1-10, 4:31, 5:1-16, 12:5>
=> When holy people, who rely on the name of Christ to live triumphantly, bring a heart of thanksgiving and praise to gather,
worship, pray and praise, the gates of heaven open, angelic hosts sing in unison with saints, Holy Spirit works greatly, every saint
hears the voice of God, and receives the perfect will of God in the living of every saint, abundant joy, praise and hope manifest in
their midst…
=> Especially when every saint brings his weaknesses, sins before God’s throne of grace, to confess his sins, repent, use Jesus
Christ’s precious blood to clean himself, God’s compassion, loving kindness, grace come upon the life of every saint, many
wonders and miraculous signs of the healing of spirits, physical bodies, interpersonal relationships, living will appear/ in particular,
when saints confess sins to one another, forgive and tolerate one another, intercede for one another and bless one another, will see
the forces of darkness (ironies, struggles, accusations, judgments, complaints) being cast away, and the loving kindness, grace, joy
of heavenly kingdom descend in their midst…love covers a multitude of sins, perfect love drives out fear, and fulfill all the perfect
will of Father God, thus at that time, holy people’s prayers will be surely answered…<1 Jn 3:20-21, Mt 5:21-26>
4) Every time when a person strives to serve the body of Christ (church) according to the conditions, gifts and roles given by God <Ep
4:1-16, Ac 6:1-11>
=> Every saint possesses the unique conditions, gifts, determined by God, so that [he can receive a role in the fellowship of holy
people, build the body of Christ and receive the eternal inheritance together with other brethren], if a saint receives his position and
role in the fellowship to which he belongs, and serves faithfully, all kinds of good and perfect gifts from heaven will continue to
come upon him, he will be exalted more and more by God in the fellowship of holy people, and thus he can serve in more important
ministries; his gifts will continue to increase <Mt 25:14-30>
=> In a family, small group, fellowship, church, when every member receives his own position and role, joins together fitly, for the
work of the ministry, and serves the Lord together, evidences that God is very pleased with the fellowship will be seen, the
boundaries in charge by that fellowship will expand more and more, every member will become [the testimony of the era]
5) Every time when a person strives to spread [God’s works] to gather [God’s people] through the personal network of contacts <Ac
7:55, 8:4-8, 9:1-19, 11:19-30, 13:1-3, Ep 6:18-20, Ro 16:1-27>
=> The heavenly kingdom which descends upon an individual’s life, continues to expand in his personal network of contacts through
his life testimonies; in particular, the saints who always center their living on blessed Christ fellowship, will meet many other
blessed people through the intercession targets, evangelism and prayer answers brought by every member in the fellowship. When
he testifies about the heavenly kingdom which he has seen and enjoyed, the heavenly kingdom comes upon the blessed life which
God prepared, the heavenly kingdom will expand unceasingly…
3. How to become the saint who [receives the most blessings] in the fellowship of the heavenly kingdom?
* The bible clearly teaches us /past experiences clearly tells us / currently blessed saints are now enjoying / in any circumstances, from
today onwards can start to change…
1) Must receive assurance: [my own family, small group, church, interpersonal relationships, are all established personally by God]
- If fail in this, cannot enjoy the [heavenly blessings in two or three persons] prepared by God
- This assurance comes from the perspective of [I am a life which is being called and loved], [all I have encountered are the grace
arranged by God] / this assurance comes from [centering my interpersonal relationships on blessed holy people (first receiving
{the same}, then receiving {make the different join together})] / this assurance comes from clearly confirming [my small group,
fellowship, church need to know, enjoy and proclaim Christ more]
2) Must receive vision: Whole lifetime should receive inheritance together with the brethrens of this fellowship (the vision from
heaven)
- If fail in this, cannot receive [the reason and meaning of the essentiality of striving to be involved in fellowship living]
- Whether it is between husband and wife, or in children offspring, or in small groups, fellowship, church, there are certainly
heavenly eternal inheritance and blessings arranged by God; only when I receive each and every of this inheritance and vision
hidden in the fellowship of [two or three persons], can I receive the perfect will and timetable of God in all the activities of the
fellowship…
3) Loves to attend all kinds of meeting, and strives to receive [the better blessings] in every meeting
- ① Reaches early, prepares heart (gives thanks, praises, prays, anticipates) ② sees the manifestation of the Lord’s presence, hears
 the voice of God ③ receives complete liberation, freedom, healing ④ Offers everything of himself ⑤ guards heart and mind
(remembers the answers, perfect will received during meetings / the contents to pray and renew / obeys the guidance of the Lord)
4) Understands the conditions and gifts that God bestowed upon him, strives to join together with brethrens and co-workers, does his
best to carry out his duties
- Without serving, there will be no anointing, even the gifts already received will be lost; discover the position and role that God has
arranged, be faithful in small things, will surely receive greater things, and more gifts <Mt 25:29>
5) Sustains brethren living by centering on gentleness, compassion, forbearance, blessings and harmony
- Can see Christ’s compassion, loving kindness, grace continue to cover himself, can come before the Lord boldly without fear, enjoy
prayers being answered
- He himself can enjoy complete freedom in Christ fellowship, can win over the hearts of everyone, and also can receive the
inheritance be acquired by the meek
6) In his personal network of contacts, try hard to find [people with 8 beatitudes], brings intercession topics to small groups, fellowship,
church. At the same time, intercedes for the [doors of evangelism, people with 8 beatitudes, disciples] brought by brethrens
- Will surely see prayers being answered more swiftly, connected with the dignified networks possessed by blessed people, meet
many important persons…
7) At the same time when he strives to participate in various [evangelism] and [mission ministries], as well as enjoy [blessings of
meeting], will also expand the domains of his own ministries.

Prayer topics for this week:

1) The heavenly kingdom is in the place where [two or three of you] pray in my name: In all my interpersonal relationships and wherever I am
(family, church, workplace, relatives and friends), does the heavenly kingdom descend always? The heavenly kingdom that I enjoy in my
heart, has what kind of relationship with my interpersonal relationships and my living fields? Is my interpersonal relationship centered on
the holy people [who receive one Father, one Lord, one Spirit, one baptism, one body]?
2) [When] and [how] will the heavenly kingdom appear? In Christ fellowship living, do I always enjoy the [blessings which descend when the
5 kinds of heavenly kingdom appear], as described in [main point 2]? Have I discovered the areas in which [I should anticipate more and
enjoy more grace with regard to the meetings of the Christ fellowship]?
3) In the fellowship of the heavenly kingdom, how to become the saint who [receives the most blessings]? Do I fully understand the [7
conditions of being blessed in Christ fellowship living], as mentioned in [main point 3]? Do I believe: At present, no matter what
circumstances I am in, as long as I continue to be blessed in Christ fellowship, I will surely receive the blessings of [all things work for the
good]? If so, have I discovered the areas in which I should renew more?
