The Stone that became a great mountain

WOW ! I read Daniel chapter 2 verse 35 years ago , but never understood it as well as I did after reading Witness Lee's commentary on it .Here it is- I'll give you the Scripture first so's we all
know what is cooking -
Danielch2 v 35 " Then the iron,the clay,the bronze.the silver and the gold were crushed all at once and they became like chaff from the summer threshing floors and the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found.And the Stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth"
The great mountain here signifies the eternal kingdom of God which will fill the whole earth forever.
After coming to crush the aggregate of human government,the corporate Christ with His overcoming believers will become a great mountain to fill the whole earth making the whole earth God's kingdom.
Thus the great human image will be replaced with the eternal kingdom of God on earth (Revelation 11 v 15-17)
The increase of the stone into a great mountain signifies the increase of Christ (John 3 v 29,30)
The church is Christ's increase in life but the eternal kingdom of God is Christ's increase in administration(Mark4:26-29)
Hence Christ is not only the church but also the kingdom of God (1Cor 12:12)
As the Stone Christ is the centrality of God's move and as the Mountain He is the universality.
Hence He is the all inclusive One, the One who fills all in all (Ephesians 1:23)..."

So all those governments who think they are somebody are really nobody ... they will be like
chaff and the wind will carry them away - not leaving any trace !
After I read the commentary I was so astounded and had a word in my spirit to say " BLOG -
put it on your Blog !"
So as we eat our christmas turkey let us also eat the Word of the Lord !

Eat,eat,eat and drink drink drink !

The title might seem a little strange to you , but that is what a dear friend sent me in a text  message
to wake me up a bit.Made me realise that I was far from drinking and eating the Lord !
That is what all Scripture is about.Eating and drinking the Lord.
Not eating and drinking and making merry around the christmas tree.
And to cap it all she included a Scripture in John chapter 6 verse 57 where Jesus said " As the living
Father has sent Me and I live because of the Father,so he who eats Me shall live because of Me "
It took me quite a while before I could get the last bit " so he who eats Me shall live because of Me "
into my human spirit.
It was when I started to realise that Christ Himself is the Word things began to happen. Then when
 the Holy Spirit actually breathed the Word into my spirit I realised they were life giving words.
I also saw how important my human spirit is to God. Every one of us has a human spirit,but we
don't know how to exercise it and it just sits like stone until we ask God for help.It is  His hearts desire
for mankind to talk to Him,to fellowship with Him and help Him to fight the enemy.So He will
quickly answer our cry.
Our spirit (with a small s)  is vital for our prayer life,warfare and worship. Without it we are dumb clucks,
and  our songs are dreary and depressing , our understanding of Scripture is just not there.
OH! What a day when  the seeking Spirit found my spirit and I learnt how to read the Bible properly and to pray real heartfelt prayers....may  we all touch the Life giving Spirit  who will polish
and shine us as living stones, on our way to the New Jerusalem...
