Section 11

help; it is to be daily nourished with the living Word. For example, instead of praying to be healthy physically, we should learn to eat nour ishing meals day by day. Likewise, if we want to be spiritually healthy and live Christ, we need to take the Word of God into us again and again. Simply praying for the Lord's help does not work. But what does work is coming to the living Word of God every day and being infused with the riches of Christ. We all need to open from the depths of our being and exercise our spirit to receive the Word of God into us not merely by reading, but also by praying, singing, psalm ing, thanking, and calling on the Lord. Then the riches of the Word will saturate our being.

The Lord is not seeking to recover any for malities or practices. The Lord's goal is to re cover Himself as our experience and to recover the proper church life which comes from expe riencing Him in a practical way. Today the Lord is the Spirit and also the Word. We have the Word to muse upon and through which to converse with the Lord. We can also pray, sing, and psalm the Word, and we can thank God the Father through the Word. The goal of such an exercise is not merely to gain knowledge of the Bible; it is mainly to receive the element, the substance,

the essence, of the divine Person, Christ Himself, embodied in the Word and conveyed through the Word. Let us pray the Word and sing the Word to receive the riches of the Word through the Spirit.
