Topic: "The altar of God"

Brother Frank discusses the privilege of participating in God's work and understanding His word, referencing the positive experiences in past gatherings. He stresses the need to understand and affirm God's message, expressing a desire to share global experiences of God's work. Drawing from Habakuk 1:5, he highlights God's active work and the importance of being part of it, not just preaching about it. He references the open doors for ministry in Republic of Sair, emphasizing the receptive attitude of the people. The core message revolves around how God can assert His will in and through believers after instruction, using the concept of the altar as a symbol of commitment and encounter with God. Biblical figures like Cain, Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are cited as examples of those who built altars after significant experiences with God. Brother Frank emphasizes the necessity of not only erecting altars and offering sacrifices but also connecting with God, recognizing His voice, and understanding His will to make offerings pleasing to Him. He references the story of Abraham and Isaac as a prefigurement of Christ's sacrifice, urging believers to offer their bodies as living sacrifices, as mentioned in Romans. He contrasts those who are merely in the outer court with those who have gone through the veil, emphasizing that only the latter have the right to partake of the altar. He concludes by calling for the full erection of the New Testament altar, the cross of Golgotha, urging believers to see themselves as crucified with Christ, and to walk in newness of life, allowing God to reveal His glory anew.
