https://facebook/diego.tomarelli ATTEND MEETINGS WITH A LIVING SPIRIT Since most of us come from traditional Christianity and we still have that environment around, it is very difficult to change our concept about the meetings. In the past we have preached the Gospel in a living way to people who were one hundred one hundred gentiles. Such people never had any connection or relationship with the so called Christian Church. When they were saved, we just share a few brief words, and everyone knew how to exercise its function. However, for many traditional Christians, it is very difficult to exercise its function since they have been influenced by their past. We must strive for abandoning our past and learn how to live and walk in the spirit, enjoying and experiencing Christ in a practical way. Christ enjoyed day after day, and every day we experience it in our spirit. In this way, whenever we meet, we will do it with a living spirit, satisfied, refreshed, strengthened, high, positive and active, and will provide experiences that we have had of Christ. When we go to a meeting, we should not consider what kind of meeting is; rather, we should consider it as an opportunity to worship, share our burden and fulfill our duties. We must forget our considerations and simply get together with each other as Christians. This depends on whether we are in the spirit or not, if we have prayed in the spirit and we have obtained something of Christ or not. If we teach Christ in others exercising our spirit, any portion will be good. This will never hurt the meeting. While we exercise our spirit to express and to Minister Christ to others, everything will be fine. That will release the spirit of others, will introduce the flow of divine life and will start meeting spontaneously. We may not sing a hymn at the beginning of the meeting. Perhaps the brothers and sisters just pray, or perhaps sing anthem after anthem. We should not you have any regulation in this regard, but only pay attention to the flow of divine life. However, this flow depends completely on our spirit is living. Our spirit must be living. If our spirit is in a condition of death, we do not have Christ and him we have not experienced, then everything how much do is wrong. Even if all open his mouth to speak, even this would be wrong. In fact, the more open our mouth, most will have a smell of death, and not a fragrant odor. Everything we do, must be something living that comes from our inner self. Someone might ask: what if as a fallen man that I am, failure of the session?. We have not only the Holocaust, the meal offering and the offering of peace, but that we also have the offering of transgression. If we fail, we must go to the meeting in a spirit of humble in order to repent and confess to the Lord. We can exercise our contrite spirit and offer a prayer of confession, repentance, and washing with the blood of Jesus the Lord. Even this kind of prayer, it will introduce the flow of divine life in the meeting, since it is something living, something of Christ and a true experience of Christ as the offering of transgression. Perhaps then the flow will introduce many sentences where it is valued to Christ as the offering of transgression. Possibly so many continue to pray: Lord, thank you that you can experience our offering of transgression. That will be something living that will be expressed in the flow. We should prepare before attending the meeting. I have a deep feeling that we need to change our concepts and change our way of life. This will help us to be diligent and fervent in spirit in our daily walk. Then, we will be able to attend the meetings in a new way. Someone could argue that if we meet under the traditional way, this will cause confusion. If freeing our spirit cause confusion or not, that remains to be seen. Try it. If it causes confusion, we can try something different. We just go ahead and see the result. Have peace; I can assure you that we will not suffer loss to exercise our spirit at the meetings. I dont suggest that we should change some formalisms or rules; that never gives results. Rather, we must change our concepts and our understanding. We have to change the way in which we daily our Christian life. We have to learn how to live and walk in Christ and, while we exercise our spirit. Our understanding and our concepts should be changed, and our way of life should be different. Then, when we meet, spontaneously there will be a surplus of Christ. Diego Tomarelli
