112 The Release of the Spirit #10 - Chapter 3 ‘Recognising “The Thing in Hand”’

We begin Chapter 3, reading the opening section, Recognising “The Thing in Hand”, where Watchman Nee brings this into something very direct, showing that even after the outward man has been broken, what a person is already holding onto can still stand in the way. This “thing in hand” is whatever is already taking up attention, strength, and response when the Father calls.As this unfolds, he shows how this appears across the mind, the emotions, and the will, where thoughts, affections, and decisions are already occupied, leaving little capacity to respond to Him. This brings it into clear view, raising the question—what is already in your hand, and what answers first when He speaks?About AlexAlex is from the UK and he teaches and disciples across nations after years serving in Poland.
