Message Title: Taking the God-ordained Pathway for the Church— the Way of Philadelphia—according to the Lord’s Up-to-date and Ultimate Recovery to Bring Us into a New Revival to Turn the Age
I. We need to see, live, and practice “the present truth,” the “up-to-date” truth, in order to change the age and bring Christ back; we need to hear what the Spirit is speaking to the churches, the voice of God in the present hour
we need to look to the Lord to have our personal enjoyment of the Lord daily.
Jeremiah 15:16 Your words were found and I ate them, / And Your word became to me / The gladness and joy of my heart, / For I am called by Your name, / O Jehovah, God of hosts.
the first part of the verse says "found", which means that we need to discover the words of God. even, everyday, we should make some new discoveries of the word of God.
The present truth of the Lord’s up-to-date and ultimate recovery is to bring us into a new revival to turn the age by our choosing to take the way of Philadelphia; only the recovered church, the church of brotherly love, signified by the church in Philadelphia, can fulfill God’s eternal purpose and satisfy His heart’s desire
II. The characteristic of the overcomers in Philadelphia is their aspira-
tion to arrive at the highest peak of the divine revelation of God’s economy—this highest peak is God becoming man to make man God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead so that the Body of Christ can be produced, the bride can be prepared, and the New Jerusalem can be consummated.

when we say God-ordained way, we think it is the four points BNPB: begetting, nourishing, perfecting, building up; but we need to realise the intrinsic significance, which is to shepherd according to God as love.
Luke 12:21 So is he who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.
what have we been doing with what the Lord has given to us? we need to be serious with the Lord by spending much time with the Lord, by musing upon His word, so that we can become rich toward God.
III. The characteristic of the overcomers in Philadelphia is their endeavoring to enter into the God-man living by enjoying the riches of Christ as their indwelling treasure
everything in God's New Testament economy is just Christ. therefore, we all need to be replaced with Christ, by being joined to Christ in the organic union with Christ. Christ has the key to control the door of God’s treasury, in which are the riches of God in Christ for our enjoyment.
In order to enjoy the riches of God in Christ as the treasure, we need to remain in the touch with the Lord, staying in contact with the Lord according to the sense of life and exercising ourselves to be poor in spirit and pure in heart. n order to enjoy the riches of God in Christ as the treasure, we need to use the “keys” of
denying the self, taking up the cross, and losing the soul-life.
