I.　In order to be coordinated together for the carrying out of God's economy, we need the following experiences as prerequisites:

A.　The spiritual history of every Christian should involve the blowing wind, the covering cloud, the consuming fire, and the glowing electrum—Ezek. 1:4:

1.　The stormy wind from the north signifies God as the Spirit blowing upon us to bring a storm into our life, our work, and our church, causing us to feel restless and concerned about our situation and to seek the Lord about our spiritual condition—Psa. 75:6-7a; Ezek. 37:9; John 3:8; Acts 2:2, 4a.

2.　The covering cloud signifies God as the Spirit covering us, overshadowing us, and brooding over us to give us the enjoyment of His presence, thereby producing something of Himself in our daily life—1 Cor. 10:1-2; Exo. 24:16a; 40:34; Prov. 16:15.

3.　The consuming fire signifies God as the Spirit burning us for our purification, sanctification, and transformation—Deut. 4:24; Heb. 12:29; Rev. 4:5; 5:6; 1:14b.

4.　The glowing electrum, an alloy of gold and silver, signifies the redeeming God, the compound God, our indwelling treasure of incomparable worth—Rev. 22:1; 4:3; 2 Cor. 4:7.

5.　The more we pass through the wind, the cloud, and the fire, the more the electrum is constituted into our being, making us a people who are filled with the redeeming Triune God for His radiant manifestation—Matt. 17:8.

B.　When we experience God as the blowing wind, the overshadowing cloud, the consuming fire, and the glowing electrum, we become the four living creatures, bearing the appearance of a man for the corporate expression of Christ with the following characteristics—Ezek. 1:5, 26; Gen. 1:26:

1.　The face of a man signifies Christ as the Man-Savior with the proper divinely enriched humanity—Ezek. 1:10.

2.　The face of a lion signifies Christ as the King-Savior to be our boldness, vigor, strength, and victory—Rev. 5:5.

3.　The face of an ox signifies Christ as the Slave-Savior, who is willing to bear the burden and sacrifice Himself for others—Mark 10:45.

4.　The face of an eagle signifies Christ as the God-Savior, the transcendent, buoyant, indestructible life of God—Exo. 19:4; Prov. 30:19a; John 6:15; Phil. 4:12-13.

5.　The eagle's wings signify the grace, the power, and the strength of God in Christ applied to us for our move and our protection—Ezek. 1:6b; Exo. 19:4; Isa. 40:31; 2 Cor. 4:7; 1:12; 12:9; 1 Cor. 15:10; Ezek. 1:9a; Psa. 17:8; 57:1; 63:7; 91:4.

6.　The man's hands signify our working in a human way under God's grace and power—Ezek. 1:8a; Acts 20:34.

7.　The calf's hoofs signify that our Christian walk must be a walk that is straight, frank, and with discernment; a walk that shines, gives light to others, and tests others; and a walk that is full of life, energy, freshness, and newness—Ezek. 1:7; Lev. 11:4-6; Rev. 1:15; Psa. 29:6; Mal. 4:2.

8.　By having this kind of life and walk, we can be coordinated and become one entity.

II.　The coordination of the four living creatures, portraying the move of the church in a corporate way, is to carry out God's economy for His expression, move, and administration—Ezek. 1:11-15, 22, 26; Rom. 12:4-5:

A.　The oneness and coordination of the four living creatures depends on the eagle's wings, that is, upon the grace and power of God—Ezek. 1:11b.

B.　In their coordination the living creatures follow the Spirit—Ezek. 1:20; Gal. 5:16, 25; Rom. 8:4.

C.　The way the living creatures move shows the proper functioning of the members in coordination in the Body of Christ—moving straight forward and accommodating others in the one Body for God's one move—Ezek. 1:12:

1.　If we would have coordination in the church life, we all need to learn to walk straight forward, fulfilling our function, and to walk backward and sideways, saying "amen" to others' functions—1 Cor. 12:24.

2.　The issue of this coordination is that we become like burning coals and enlightening torches with the divine power and impact for God's move.
