Recently, I’ve been reminded of this one portion in the ministry by Watchman Nee, in a book called “Twelve Baskets Full”: If God leads you to walk a way that you know, it will not benefit you as much as if He would lead you to take the way that you do not know. This […]
The Lord arranges everything in our environment to turn our heart to Him and to transform us
One of my favorite songs begins with “There are times in my life when my heart is embittered, there are questions unanswered, yet You are drawing me to enter into Your blessed sanctuary…”, and ends with “let each experience constitute me, so Your life I’ll display in every way”. We, as Christians (and especially as […]
learning Christ in a subjective way, being taught in Him and learn from Him
Ephesians 4:20 says, “But you did not so learn Christ”. What does it mean “to learn Christ”? To learn Christ does not mean that because Christ loved people, we should also love people.

Romans 8:28 tells us that all things work together for good… and as for that “good” what we really need to think is “God.” Because ALL things work together for our gaining more God in our being. Whenever I used to hear this verse, I always thought to myself, Yes, even in this situation, under […]
in like manner the Spirit also joins in to help us, to intercede for us according to God
I was very touched by the verse in Rom. 8:26recently: Moreover, in like manner the Spirit also joins in to help us in our weakness, for we do not know for what we should pray as is fitting, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. We all have to […]
