TRANSFORMATION BY THE
FLOWING OF THE TRIUNE GOD
Being put into the Triune God is not a small matter. It implies that we are prepared and positioned to let God come into us. The more the Triune God gets into us, the more He transforms us.
The best illustration of transformation is petrified wood. The water flows through the wood to carry away the essence of the wood and to replace it with the element of minerals from the water. In this way the wood is petrified, transformed. Hallelujah, we all have been put into the Triune God! Now the Triune God as the living water is flowing in, through, and out of us. As He flows through us, He carries away our “wooden” substance and brings in His golden essence. In this way we are transformed.
TRANSFORMATION BEING
FOR THE BUILDING
This transformation is for the building. Recently, some brothers and sisters have asked me how they can be built up. To be built does not mean to love one another in a natural way—that is to be one not in the Spirit but in the flesh and in the natural life. This is absolutely wrong. The way to be built is to be transformed. Our natural element must be carried away. Although I may never embrace a certain brother or love him according to the natural, religious concept, he and I may be fully built together by having our natural element carried away and replaced by God’s golden essence. As this golden essence, the building factor, permeates both of us, we are built together.
The Lord Jesus builds the church first by baptizing us into the Triune God. By being immersed in the Triune God, we are positioned to drink of Him. First Corinthians 12:13 says, “In one Spirit we were all baptized into one Body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and were all given to drink one Spirit. ” Then as we daily drink of the Spirit as the divine water, He flows within us, and this flow of the divine life carries away our natural life, our “wooden” nature, and replaces it with God’s golden essence.
Never think that hugging one another and loving one another in an outward way is a sign of the building. No, that is not the building. The building is the oneness in the golden nature. The more we are transformed, the more we shall be built up. If we have not been transformed, even our love is a kind of “honey. ” Shallow, superficial Christians think that this type of love is oneness. No, this is not oneness. Oneness means that the pure golden essence of the Triune God is wrought into our being to replace our “wooden” element. This is the way the Lord builds us into the church. May we all see it! Forget what you have gleaned from your background and what you have understood according to your natural concept. We need to see the heavenly light.
THE LORD’S PRAYER FOR
THE ONENESS OF THE BELIEVERS
In John 17 the Lord prayed that the believers would be one. John 17:21-23 says, “That they all may be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us; that the world may believe that You have sent Me. And the glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, even as We are one; I in them, and You in Me, that they may be perfected into one. ” It is difficult to recite or remember these verses because the concept here absolutely transcends our natural understanding. According to the Lord’s word in these verses, we are to be one even as the Father and the Son are one. Here the Lord prayed in this way: “That they all may be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us. ” Oneness means that we, the believers, are all in the “Us. ” This “Us” is the Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. Real oneness is the oneness in the Triune God.
John 17:22 says, “The glory which You have given Me I have given to them. ” The glory which the Father has given the Son is the sonship with the Father’s life and divine nature (5:26) to express the Father in His fullness (1:18; 14:9; Col. 2:9; Heb. 1:3). The Son has given this glory to His believers so that they also may have the sonship with the Father’s life and divine nature (John 17:2; 2 Pet. 1:4) to express the Father in the Son in His fullness (John 1:16). This concept is far beyond our natural thought. It is easy to grasp the idea of loving one another. However, it is difficult to define glory. Glory is the sonship with the life and nature of God to express the Father in His fullness. True oneness is in this glory. This oneness is deep and profound. In it there is no ground or room for the self or the natural life. During the past nineteen centuries, the Lord has been desiring to have this oneness among the believers.
John 17:23 says, “I in them, and You in Me, that they may be perfected into one. ” I doubt that anyone today understands what it means to be perfected into one. If I asked the leading brothers in this area if they are truly one, they would have to admit, because much of their being has not yet been transformed, that they are only one to a certain degree. But they are on the way of being perfected into one. To be perfected is to be “petrified, ” transformed, that is, to have your natural essence carried away and replaced by the divine essence. This is the way to be perfected into one. This oneness cannot be found even between most husbands and wives. But the Lord Jesus prayed for it, and we are in the process of attaining it.

I was reading these verses this morning and they brought me to this song.
John 14: 16-17 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name…
I believe Watchman Nee emphasized the subject of the indwelling Christ and Brother Lee amplified it. God is now the wonderful Spirit in us. Sadly this truth is preached very little these days. It must be Satan’s work to mask God’s work which is totally a matter of the Spirit working in our spirit. This operation of the Spirit working in our spirit is the basis of our whole Christian life and is how we relate to God. It establishes our loving relationship with God. He as the Spirit makes God real to us! Yes, the reality has come!

NOW The triune God has come to dwell with in. (John 14:23 NIV) And Jesus answered him and said “If any man loves me he will keep my word, and the Father will love him and WE will come to him and make OUR home with Him”. God could only do this by the Spirit that who transmits God to us. All three persons operate as one triune God. Now because of the Spirit’s work, all believers can have God as their all in all!
