Section 13

kind of living and be this kind of person. Re cently a sister shared about meeting a woman in an airport and spontaneously testifying to her of her rich supply in Christ. That woman surely must have been impressed by our sister's testimony. Coming out of the mouth of our sis ter was not simply preaching; it was the Triune God being lived out of her. If we have such a testimony with our relatives and friends, they will be impressed with the overflow of life, and this flow will certainly get into some of them. They will be infused with the flow and become a fruit born by this organism. This is fruit- bearing by the overflow of the inner life.

If you have such an overflow, could you help but love the Lord? Could you still live in sin and continue to love the world? This would be im possible. There is no need to strive to overcome sin and the world. There is not even any need to try to love the Lord. In fact, there is no need for us to do anything. Because we realize that we are part of this organism, that the Triune God has been wrought into our being, and that we have been constituted with His riches and have be come parts of Him, something naturally and spontaneously will flow out of us.

We are the branches of the divine vine; we

are part of the organism of the Triune God. In life, in nature, and in position we are the same as He. Hallelujah! Daily we are contacting our God. He is not simply the object of our worship, but the Spirit within us as the living water. As we drink of Him and eat of Him, we have the overflow of life. This overflow is our fruit- bearing in our daily living. Whether or not the ones we contact will receive this flow is a matter of God's choice. But we can be assured that the chosen ones will receive it and become fruit born by the divine organism. This is the way to in crease the organism, and to spread the kingdom of God. This is what it means to bear fruit by the overflow of the inner life.
