- The Lord did not retain His inner being for Himself
- He did not allow His mind to think whatever it wanted to think
- He did not indulge in feelings that were not pleasing to God
- He did not have any motives or intentions that did not express God
Now He wants to be reproduced in us through the transformation of our soul. This transformation will eventually touch our inward parts, our deepest feelings, all the most tender parts of our being.
There's a word Brother Ron aimed especially towards us sisters which captured me.. ' For the sisters especially, I would almost plead with you: Will you spend your entire life guarding and preserving your delicate inward parts so that the Lord would have no way to transform you or to live through you? The Lord may have one thought, but you have a different opinion. The Lord may love one thing, but you love something else... We have held the Lord back for decades from being able to intrinsically form the God-man, the pneumatic Christ, in our being.' I realized that i have been trying to save and protect my soul.. this word enlightens me as well as the point mentioned in the first paragraph. i realized that i was not at all one with God in my inward parts.. not even one of the points mentioned above have i the guts to exclaim that i've managed to fulfill.. but i'm touched by what bro Ching Yih said. He said that we cannot, and will never be able to live out such a life according to our own effort.. Praise the Lord that we have our Lord as the prototype and the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit as the extract which will fill our spirit and pervade our entire soul... We really need the eyes of faith in order to see that the more we are transformed, the more the divine attributes of God will uplift, strengthen, enrich, and fill our human virtues for the Lord's expression in our humanity..
