    Summary

    Brother Sparks emphasizes that our ministry is not merely a teaching or a separate fellowship but a divine calling rooted in God's eternal purpose. He highlights that God's plan from eternity is clear and deliberate, aiming to recover and fulfill His original intention through a chosen people. The Old Testament Levites serve as a spiritual prototype, embodying principles of holiness, separation, and service that are vital for God's full purpose. These Levites represented all Israel, serving at the altar, mediating between God and man, and demonstrating God's authority over creation. Their role was both priestly and warrior-like, symbolizing the spiritual warfare involved in fulfilling God's plan. Brother Sparks clarifies that in the New Testament, the Levites are a spiritual company—heavenly people committed to God's full purpose, marked by holiness and power. The true service of God aligns with His divine will, requiring a holy, sanctified life that reflects God's character. Holiness is vocational, essential for effective service, and must be pursued diligently, as unholiness hinders God's work. He stresses that holiness and power go hand in hand, and that God's ultimate goal is to purify His people so His name may be glorified among the nations. The ministry aims to keep alive the fullness of Christ, emphasizing divine life, victory, and sanctification, urging believers to live holy lives in every aspect, including business and social life, to fulfill God's divine purpose.
