Every situation is an opportunity to be refreshed in our consecration, an opportunity to empty and open our vessel to have more Christ by enjoying Him, and a privilege to be perfected more for spiritual advancement unto the building up of the Body of Christ.

In the one and a half month of propagation, the team, being living witnesses, saw how God responded through His move and work to the prayers and petitions of the saints to have a golden lampstand in Numancia. Because we cooperated with the Lord when we went and stayed there with Him, we experienced His cherishing, nourishing, caring, and shepherding. His faithfulness was manifested through the fruits, the materials, who were waiting to be gathered and brought to the feast of the unsearchable riches of the all-inclusive Christ to be built up corporately.

Every day we had our home meetings; at night most often, we had small group meetings. Through the practice of pray-reading, studying, reciting, and prophesying (PSRP), everyone enjoyed and feasted, and was perfected to be a normal, living, fresh and organic member of the Body. At times, they prophesied all at once as if wanting to be first in functioning to pray and prophesy conveying the light and life seen and enjoyed through “PSRPing.” Because of their enjoyment, they did not mind the negative words spoken against them and they did not want to waste their time to talk about them. What they wanted whenever they met was just to enjoy Christ.

One day, during nap time, I was awakened when a sister called us. It was because the family of her cousin, with some of their neighbors, accepted her invitation to listen to us. The 24 souls gained by the Lord were the fruits of the Cornelius-like heart of this sister who contacted her relatives and neighbors to spend some time to hear and receive what we had to share with them.

Through home meetings and small group meetings together with the practice of PSRP, the first Lord’s table meeting on November 19, 2006, attended by 17 local saints and 12 saints from other localities, was the manifestation of the Christ who is within the saints, the living members of the Body which was expressed as the church which is in Numancia.

After the establishment, the remaining days were intensified by encouraging them to continue in enjoying the Lord, in shepherding one another, in loving one another, in encouraging one another, and in caring for one another. We did this to show them that they were not following a man but the vision concerning Christ as the Head and the church as His Body. Though we had tears when we were leaving, what comforted us were their words that they would continue to meet rain or shine, together with Paul’s words which they usually exclaimed in the meeting, “Whether we live or we die we are the Lord’s.” May the Lord produce the saints in Numancia as overcomers, for the sake of His testimony, His recovery, for the building up of His Body, which will consummate in the New Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
