039 Knowing the Self #1 — ‘Exposed in the Wilderness: When God Shows You Self’

You didn’t just stumble into difficulty — you were led into exposure. The wilderness is where God proves what’s still living in the self.In this opening episode of Knowing the Self, Alex begins the journey through Watchman Nee’s challenging chapter from The Messenger of the Cross — a chapter that unmasks the self-life, the spiritual-sounding version of ‘you’ that still tries to follow Jesus without surrendering to Him - because it cannot!It’s about the good flesh — the eager promises, the disciplined devotions, the strong commitments that still come from self. And God must expose them.We’ll unpack three cutting truths:1️⃣ God already knows what’s in self — but He wants you to see it too.2️⃣ Your confidence in self is the real issue.3️⃣ The self-life plays the bride - but sleeps with the world.Ask Yourself: → Am I shocked by my failures — because I still trust in self? → Have I mistaken eagerness for obedience — when it’s really self-preservation? 📘 Free PDF of The Messenger of the Cross is linked here: https://issacharpropheticcity.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/the-messenger-of-the-cross.pdf📘Listener's Guide Here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1CghKe2NP9ZMslL3fq12ijjq6DhciUFuh?usp=sharing📘‘Toxic Love’ by Malcolm Smith:https://amzn.eu/d/3MyQTmz
