In this issue of The Ministry, we include the second of a series of messages which Brother Lee spoke concerning migration in Los Angeles in 1969. The deeper meaning of migration is that it is the Lord’s move in His Body through the church. In this message, Brother Lee emphasizes that in the New Testament, the spread of the local churches through the migrating saints was in one line and one flow. The local churches raised up in the way of migration experienced the Lord’s full blessing because they kept the principle of the Body by depending on the other local churches and becoming followers and imitators of the churches. The Lord will always withhold a measure of His blessing until we practice the church life according to the principle of the Body. The next six messages in this issue are the Crystallization-study of the Epistles of 1 and 2 Corinthians, which were given in the second half of the Living Stream Ministry’s Winter Training of 1997. The subject of this training was originally chosen by Brother Lee, and the outlines were prepared by his co-workers in fellowship with him. They represent the utterances, the thoughts, and the crystals from various portions of Brother Lee’s ministry. In these messages the Lord refreshed and uplifted our vision concerning the all-inclusive Christ, the life-giving Spirit, the building up of the church, and the ministers and ministry of the new covenant. In particular, we saw the great need for the saints of all ages to rise up to become the blended and organic functioning members of the Body of Christ to carry on the Lord’s move. Lastly we include two letters concerning the progress of the publications of the ministry in Poland and Germany.
