Thou art all my life, Lord

The way for the Lord to gain His Bride and consummate this age is by the experience of “Thou art all my life”. In order to accomplish His eternal purpose, the Lord has already gone through the process to be our life as the Spirit! This life is flowing, anointing, permeating, saturating us to transform our every part until we are brought to full maturity. This life is abundant, flowing, rich and free! Constantly refreshes and empowers us throughout this process of sonizing! Thus we have no need to struggle!

“I would cease completely
From my efforts vain,
Let Thy life transform me,
Full release to gain;
Build me up with others
Till in us Thou see
Thy complete expression
Glorifying Thee“

I surrender all Lord Jesus

Lord, Thy life abundant,
Flowing, rich and free,
Constantly refreshes
And empowers me.

Lord, we open to Your divine dispensing. Dispense more of Your life and nature into us. Keep our vessel open to You so that we may receive more of what You are into our inner being. We love ❤️ you Lord Jesus 😀

What release to cease completely from our efforts vain!

Lord, we allow Your life to transform us that we could built into your Body. Gain the expression You desire!

Thou art all my life, Lord!

You are all my life Lord. This is a statement of faith. Gradually over time the Lord gains our life and we gain Him. We must cease from all our struggles. This is not easy.

Life, Life, Life, there is a progression or process of this Life in us that brings us to consecration and desire for the building up of the church. This should not be just in theory. This hymn was written by someone with experience in the Christian life.

Amen and amen
Build me up with others
Till in us Thou see
Thy complete expression
Glorifying Thee.

Amen!

A little word concerning this song. It was written in a very simple and brief English. Yet I would call your attention to this one particular matter. That in such a brief English song you have quite a number of points that you could never find in other songs.

Thou are all my life, Lord.

You may say my life is Christ but here, we add the little word “All, ” not just my life in a general way.

In me Thou dost live.

With Thee all God’s fullness, Thou to me dost give.

Christ living in us gives us or imparts into us the fullness of God. I don’t think you can find this kind of thought in other Christian songs.

By Thy Holy nature, I am sanctified.

The word sanctified is very much used. Right?

With the holiness but you never find a song or a message telling you, you are sanctified by the Holy nature of Christ, not by the power, not by any gifts but by the Holy nature of Christ.

By Thy resurrection victory is supplied.

I don’t think this is a common language in today’s Christianity. Do they know what it is to be by the resurrection of Christ we are supplied with victory? This is a new thought. I am a little concerned that even you, I don’t believe, and I myself, call this song in such a meeting, at least this is the third time. I quite remember the times that my calling was always with a purpose. I didn’t call any hymn in a light way. Ok, you have sung it at least three times but I’m a little concerned you were impressed not with some of the points quite deeply. See this why I like to read to you, point out to you the particular points in this song. The image is simple and brief but the structure of this song is not that simple, it’s profound.

Then verse two says:

Now Thy flowing life.

Have you heard this? You heard Christ is my life. Christ is life, yet not many would say Christ is my life. You heard general talk Christ is life: I Am the Life , I Am the Way , I Am the Truth. You heard this, right? And you saw some bumper stickers.

Now Thy flowing life, Lord
Doth enlighten me.
Bringing in the spirit
Fellowship with Thee.

I doubt today’s Christians understand what we are singing here. What are we telling here? What are these people talking? This kind of talk is like angelic talk. This is some kind of language not of this earth, not among human beings. But it is in the Bible!

Then,
All my needs supplying,
This freeing life supplies all my needs
Making Thy demand.
Whatever You demand of me.
This freeing life makes
Leading me to cleansing
And in Thee to stand.
Thine anointing Spirit.

I don’t believe today’s Christians stress that much on the anointing. They stress very much in a very basic way the Spirit, the Holy Ghost. Right? The gifts, the speaking in tongues. Do they stress the Anointing Spirit? I doubt they really understand such a term, the Anointing Spirit.

Me shall permeate.
Then the next words are:
All my soul and spirit
Thou wouldest saturate.

Permeate, saturate, I do believe these are new words recommended into the American Christian language by the Recovery. I do believe twenty-two years ago no Christian literature, not the songs, hymns, even the sermons, you know, the lectures they gave, they never used these truths….. saturate, permeate. Am I right? And we purposely picked up these truths. Now I believe you who have been in the Recovery for some time understand what is to be saturated with the Anointing Spirit and what is to be even permeated with the Spirit

Then every part transforming.

I tell you another new thought. Of course I admit permeate, saturate, these two words you can’t find in the English Bible but the points are strongly there. And now the word transformed is there. It is used and it is translated. Even in Romans 12 and also it is used in 2 Corinthians 3:17… transform. And the word conform to the image; Transform, conform. I don’t think today’s Christian teachers do really minister something.
