Prophesying (speaking for the Lord and speaking forth the Lord into one another) in the meetings of the church fulfills the greatest prophecy in the Bible, which is to build up the church (in oneness as an exceedingly great army).

God’s eternal purpose is to have a building as a mingling of Himself with His chosen people; whatever God does among His people and among the nations on earth is for His building.

Christ is both the One who builds the church as God’s house and the element with which the church is built; for God’s building we need the humanity of Jesus─His human life in resurrection.

Glory is the expression of God, and building is the corporate expression of the Triune God; the glory of God and the building of God go together, for the church, as God’s building, is the corporate expression of God.
