Default Re: Calling all Saints

"To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, the called saints" Romans 1:7

Greetings to Suannehill and UntoHim. Thank you for your furtherance of our seeking to sanctify the Word: "saints". I do have something on my mind and I am not trying to tease. I seek fellowship in the revelation of being a saint.
Unto Him, thank you for your thoughtful reply.

Witness Lee spoke forth what he saw. He spoke and we spoke many things before the time that we could enter the reality had come. "Saints" is one of these. As the writer you posted below shows, the Word Saint is related to consecration. Consecration is another Word that we lacked revelation of ,though we spoke it often. Our mouth would say "O Lord, I consecrate myself to Christ and the church". But we never did! I spoke this boldly for years. I SPOKE that I consecrate my life, my family, my new borns, all to Christ. But I merely spoke it. The Word consecration doesn't mean to speak, it means "TO FILLTHE HANDS". To be consecrated is a matter of having our hands filled with the UNSPEAKABLE gift of the Word. Neither I nor my teachers knew this in those days. To be a saint requires consecration. The hands must be filled with the living Word.

The Word saint is from the same root as sanctify, sanctuary, sanction, holy. It means to be set apart as Holy. It means to be made holy. So we come to John 17:17-20.

"Sanctify them in the truth; Your Word is truth." Here we see that it is the Word that sanctifies us. We are made saints by the Words working in us. He comes to us through the writing of others (John in this case. Or Paul, or Luke, or UntoHim or Scribe etc.) and He cuts His way into our heart. And He works His way through our heart to branch into our hand. "As you have sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. For their sake I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth." That we may also be sanctified in the Word. The Word here is Logos! It is not the Rhema that can be spoken that sanctifies us. It is the Logos that cannot be spoken and must be written that does the work of making us to be saints. We see Jesus sanctifying Himself in John 8. When challenged and tempted to speak, he stoops to write. As He writes He is sanctifying Himself. This rolls back the veil on how a man walks in sanctification. Now at John 17 he opens the way for more saints. V20 "And I do not ask concerning these only, but concerning those also who believe into Me through their Word"! Here we see that each of the saints has a Logos. They have a Word they write. That Word is Christ and is the teaching. UNSPEAKABLE GIFT.

Ponder brothers and sisters, the New Testament is a composition of letters written between the saints. Some letters were written corporately. Some to churches. Some to individuals. All are the Word. It was the daily life of the church that all write. The Bible bears witness to us now of a people whose God was the Word branching hand to hand. That Word has now passed through a long two millennial day baptism but now at the third day He arises. Many believe in Jesus, fewer except the discipline that makes disciples. But all disciples shall come through discipline to be reduced to the revelation of the sanctifying Word at hand and will be a holy scribe. He is in the world, but though they write they know Him not, but the saints know and handle Him daily. Faith and the Word mate at the hand of the saints.
