113 The Release of the Spirit #11 - Chapter 3 ‘The Spirit’s Use of a Broken Outward Man’

This episode continues Chapter 3 as we read further into The Release of the Spirit by Watchman Nee, and I share some very personal reflections alongside the reading. From the illustration of The World’s Strictest Parents, to real-life examples, this shows that He does not circumvent the outward man, He deals with what is coming out of you, your reactions, your decisions, your resistance.We then look more closely at the “thing in hand,” and how easy it is to believe we are doing something for Him, especially when there are visible results, and yet still be the one holding it, sustaining it, and directing it. This leads into the breaking of the will, where independence is exposed at its root, and our ability to decide apart from Him is brought to an end, so that what comes through is truly from Him.About AlexAlex is from the UK and he teaches and disciples across nations after years serving in Poland.
