Watchman Nee

It's been awhile

I have been to busy, as a carpenter we need to make hay while the sun shines, Bible study's up in the Prison on Thursday nights have been so rewarding, I go there to be the hands of Christ and so who gets taught? :) me, It's so GREAT the exchanges of Ideas and Theology. I am reading a book by Watchman Nee The Breaking of the Outer Man and the Release of the Spirit.

When Watchman Nee was 17 years old (1920), and still a student, he went to hear an evangelist by the name of Dora Yu, who charged the people to believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, a call that Watchman Nee accepted. From that day on, he consecrated himself completely to Jesus Christ and to the preaching of the Gospel in China. In the period between 1923-1949, more than 700 local churches arose with an attendance of more than 70,000. These were called House Churches. In 1952, Watchman Nee was imprisoned by the Chinese government for his faith. He remained in prison until his death twenty years later.

It's funny that I have always believed that God breaks you to use you. Watchman confirms this thought.

I probably will read the latest of the left Behind Series before tackling any more of study books such as Woodrow Krolls book " Taking back the Good Book."

Something we have been looking hard at in Prison is,,,,,Your Relationship with God our Father, Where are you? How is Your?
