I.　If we would be in the continuation of the book of Acts, we need to be one with the Lord in His unique move to deify man by giving Him the "unhindered" way to work Himself into us for the building up of the church as His Body and to move in us and through us for the spreading of the church as His testimony—Eph. 3:16-19; Acts 1:8; 9:31; 13:1-4; 28:31:

A.　In the four Gospels, Christ was just one person, but on the day of Pentecost, after His death, resurrection, ascension, and descension, He was enlarged and expanded from one person into thousands of persons—Acts 2:41; 9:4-5.

B.　In the four Gospels, God moved in Christ singly as a personal vessel; now in the continuation of the book of Acts, "Acts 29," God is moving in the church as a corporate vessel—4:13, 16; 5:20, 28-39; 9:15.

C.　The move of the apostle Paul and his co-workers in Acts 16 illustrates that we are not merely one with the Spirit but that we and the Spirit are one—vv. 6-7; Rom. 8:16; 1 Cor. 6:17; cf. John 10:30.

D.　We should not take any action apart from the all-inclusive Spirit; the way that we must take today is the way of moving in the move of the Spirit and of having the Spirit moving in our move—Acts 13:9, 52; 17:16; 19:21; Rev. 22:17a.

E.　In the book of Ezekiel God's economy and God's move in His economy are signified by a wheel; every local church and every individual believer should have a high and awesome wheel with them—1:15, 18; Acts 13:1-4:

1.　In ourselves we should be small, but the wheel beside us, that is, the move of God's economy with us, should be high and awesome—1:8; 2:46-47; 4:33; 5:41- 42; 8:4, 8; 17:6b; 1 Cor. 15:9-10; 2 Cor. 12:11; Eph. 3:8-11.

2.　The wheels having the appearance of beryl indicates that wherever the wheel goes, it brings the appearance of the Lord—Ezek. 1:16a; Dan. 10:6.

3.　The wheels having the same appearance indicates that the move of the Lord has the same likeness and appearance in every church—Ezek. 1:16b; cf. Rev. 1:12; 1 Thes. 2:14.

4.　The wheels going in four directions and not turning as they went indicates a move in coordination—Ezek. 1:17.

5.　The high and awesome rims of the wheels being full of eyes indicates that the more we have the move of the Lord, the more we are enlightened and the more we will be able to see—v. 18.

6.　The wheel within a wheel (v. 16) shows the Lord's move in our move; the inner wheel, the Lord as the hub, is the source of power for the moving of the outer wheel, the church as the rim—Phil. 4:13; Col. 1:17b, 28-29:

a.　For Elijah to pray in a prayer means that the Lord's prayer was within his prayer; this is the wheel within a wheel—James 5:17.

b.　If our move is genuine, it must be that within our move is the move of the Lord; on the other hand, the wheels following the living creatures indicates that the move of God's work depends upon our moving in faith—Ezek. 1:19; cf. Eccl. 11:4.

7.　The wheels follow the living creatures, and the creatures follow the Spirit, but the Spirit is in the wheels—Ezek. 1:19-21:

a.　This indicates that we are one with the Lord and that He is one with us.

b.　The Lord follows us, we follow the Spirit, and the Spirit is in the wheels, indicating that the move of the Lord in our move is in the principle of incarnation—vv. 19-21; 1 Cor. 6:17; 7:10; Acts 16:6-10.

II.　The book of Acts does not have an ending, because it is a record of the unique move of God's economy—the unique stream of the work of the Lord, the stream of life, which is still flowing and never stops flowing—Rev. 22:1, 3b; John 5:17; Matt. 25:21:

A.　The Bible reveals the flowing Triune God—the Father as the fountain of life, the Son as the spring of life, and the Spirit as the river of life—Jer. 2:13; Psa. 36:9a; John 4:14; 7:37-39.

B.　The source of the flow is the throne of God and of the Lamb—Rev. 22:1.

C.　In the Scriptures there is only one flow, only one divine stream, the unique stream of the Lord's work—1 Cor. 16:10; 3:12; cf. Gen. 2:10-14.

D.　The book of Acts reveals that there is only one stream of the move of the Lord and that we need to keep ourselves in this one stream—Acts 15:35-41:

1.　The flowing of the divine life, which started on the day of Pentecost and has been flowing throughout all generations to this day, is just one stream.

2.　The history of the church shows that throughout the generations there has been one stream of the Spirit flowing all the time; many have been working for the Lord, but not all have been in the flowing of that one stream.

3.　The work in the flowing of the Holy Spirit is not a burden but a rest; the work is easy to do and the burden is easy to bear when it is the processed and consummated God as the Spirit living in us who does the work and bears the burden—Matt. 11:28-30; Phil. 3:3; Rom. 1:9; 1 Cor. 15:10.

4.　We must maintain the flowing of the stream within us by giving the inner flow, the flowing Lord within us, the preeminence—Ezek. 47:1; Col. 1:18b.

5.　What we must do today is to go along with the flowing, the current, of the work of the Holy Spirit; whatever we do must not be according to our natural thought but according to His flowing—Hymns, #907:

a.　"Not where we elect to go, / But where Jesus leads the way, / There the living waters flow, / There our darkness turns to day"—stanza 1.

b.　"Not our self-appointed task / Will the Lord's approval win, / But the work we did not ask, / Finished humbly, just for Him"—stanza 2.

c.　"Thus we die, and dying live / In the heavenlies with the Lord; / Thus we serve, and pray, and give, / Christ Himself our great Reward"—stanza 5. serve, and pray, and give, / Christ Himself our great Reward"—stanza 5.
