Experience God’s works!
Exodus 39:22~31 They made the plate, the sacred emblem, out of pure gold and engraved on it, like an inscription on a seal: HOLY TO THE LORD. Then they fastened a blue cord to it to attach it to the turban, as the Lord commanded Moses. (30~31)

Most Christians do not realize the power of the Word. God’s people who have received salvation must find answers in the Word. This is because the person who experiences the Word possesses strength. As the Lord commanded Moses (verse 26), Moses was able to fulfill God’s work because he held on to the Word. How can we experience God’s Word?
1. Experience God’s works in my life
In order to experience God’s works in my life, I must make priest’s garments to wear. The priest’s garments represent identity and power and they could protect the body. After Christ’s work of salvation, all of us are like a priest in status. Therefore, the Holy Spirit is with me in my life and is working, so all I need to do is hold on to the Word. In other words, this can be holding on to simply one verse during the Sunday message. It is fine to hold on to one Bible verse in the morning. I must individually receive the filling of the Holy Spirit and experience God’s works in my life.
2. Raise up the works of the Word in the church
To experience God’s works, you must raise the Word movement in the church. Centered on the tabernacle, it is important to have the Word movement that observes the three feasts. All Christians should experience the works of the Word through the Passover, which explains salvation; Pentecost, which represents the working of the Holy Spirit; and the Feast of Ingathering for enjoying the background of heaven. From Remnants to lay leaders, all Christians must become one and experience the blessing of the Word.
3. Raise God’s works in the field
The field where the Word exists will live. No matter which field it is, when the Word is proclaimed, the barriers that block answers will be broken like the Red Sea and the Jordan River, and like the Wall of Jericho, the forces of darkness will crumble. That is why enjoying today’s message in the field is important. Although our field may be like the desert, life is like a light. We must forget the incorrect thoughts within us and instead, imprint the Word of God in our hearts. I am a child of God who can receive answers to prayer; if I remember that until my last day I am a child of God with the blessing of the Holy Spirit, I can be victorious in the field.
- Pray that in your life, the church, and your field, you may experience the works of God. Examine the incorrect thoughts that are imprinted on your heart before God.
