Chapter 6 of 15

Section 5

Section 5

Early the next day, I climbed a mountain near my home, and there I cried out to the Lord to have mercy on me because of my deadness. The Lord was merciful, and from that time He caused me to see Him in a consistent way. After that, Brother Watchman Nee visited my home town and stayed with me for a while. His visit was a turning point in my life. My eyes were opened to see that the Christian life is not a matter of knowledge, but absolutely a matter of life and the Spirit. How­ ever, it took me a long time to become entirely free from the influence of dead knowledge. Once this kind of knowledge gets into us, it is hard to get it out. Therefore, when I say that what we need today is not mere knowledge but the contact with the living Spirit, I know what I am talking about.

All that Christ is, all that He has accomplished, and all that He has obtained and attained are in the all-inclusive Spirit. This Spirit contains every­ thing we need: resurrection, power, life, guidance, light, love, humility. Furthermore, this wonder­ ful all-inclusive Spirit has been installed in our spirit. Hallelujah, the living Christ who is the all-­ inclusive Spirit is in our spirit! We can apply this wonderfully rich One simply by using our spirit.

Freedom

In the Spirit we have freedom. Romans 8:2
