Section 4
we do not exercise our spirit. In the same princi ple, we may be unable to know the will of God or to obtain life from the Word because our spirit is dull from lack of exercise. All our problems are solved and all our needs are met through the exer cise of our spirit. All that God is and all that He has accomplished are in the all-inclusive Spirit who has been installed in our spirit. Therefore, by turning to our spirit and by exercising our spirit, we may obtain the full supply to meet our need.
WHAT WE NEED TODAY
Through many years of experience and suf fering, I have learned that what we need today is not the knowledge of doctrine, but the exercise of our spirit so that we may experience the appli cation of the Triune God in the flow of the Holy Spirit. After I was saved, I joined a group of Chris tians who emphasized the objective study of the Bible. I remained under their influence as a will ing learner for more than seven years. But one day as I was walking on the street, the Spirit within said to me, "You know so many teachings, but look how dead and unfruitful you are. In the past several years you have brought almost no one to the Lord." My heart was smitten, and I cried to the Lord for His mercy. I admitted that I was wrong.
