115 The Release of the Spirit #13 - Chapter 3 ‘One Law Unaffected By Prayer’

We finish Chapter 3 with something very clear. There is a law in how the Father works, and prayer does not change what He is doing. Nee brings it right down to something we can all understand, if you put your hand in the fire, you will get burned. And in the same way, if I continue in independence, holding onto what is in my hand, there are consequences to that, and I can’t pray my way out of it. So the question begins to change, from asking Him to fix things, to recognising what He is doing and why.And this brings us straight back to the same point we’ve been coming to all through this chapter, the inward man must come through the outward. If the outward man is still strong, still holding, still deciding, then what is within stays shut in, and there can be so much going on, and yet very little life. And so there comes a place where it is no longer more prayer, but agreement with Him, placing ourselves under His hand, and allowing Him to do what He has set out to do.About AlexAlex is from the UK and he teaches and disciples across nations after years serving in Poland.
