Our Eternal God Has an Eternal Plan, and His Plan Far Surpasses the Mere Satisfaction of Our Individual Hopes and Desires. God has His Own Desire, His Own Goal: He will Not Be Satisfied Until Every Trace of Rebellion is Eliminated from the Universe and all Things Are Headed Up in Christ. The Role of the Church is Crucial in the Accomplishment of God's Eternal Plan. Today, Like Never Before, the Church is in the Midst of a Universal Strugle Between God and His Enemy, Satan. This Struggle Began with the Rebellion of Satan, Persisted with Satan's Corruption of Man, and Continues to this Day As the Church Endeavors to Experience and Apply the Effectiveness of Christ's Death on the Cross. The Responsibility for Satan's Defeat Now Rests with the Church, as it Daily Must Seek Through Revelation and Prayer to Advance God's Interest on the Earth and to Shun Every Vestige of Satanic Influence.

"Concerning the God-ordained way, the New Testament is full of revelation. God wants us to serve Him, but in the New Testament no one is allowed to serve God according to his own concept. We have to serve God according to God’s concept. God’s ordained way has been fully and clearly revealed in the New Testament, yet Christians through all the centuries, from the last part of the first century down to today, have neglected it." In this book Witness Lee offers a detailed view of God's ordained way for His people to function in preaching the gospel to sinners, caring for new believers, perfecting fellow believers, and prophesying for the building up of the Body of Christ.

This book presents a vision of Christ and the church. It then goes on the emphasize the need to experience this Christ as the Spirit in our spirit and to practice the church life on the ground of oneness.

“We must realize that we Christians are a meeting people. A Christian is a meeting person. Without meeting, there is no Christian life and no church life. It is rather difficult for any Christian to grow without attending the meetings. There is no way for any Christian to serve God without meetings, and it is impossible for Christians to express Christ if there are no meetings. The church life is a meeting life.” In How to Meet Witness Lee offers much precious and practical guidance related to the biblical way to meet as Christians.
