: Unexpected events and difficulties are tools used by the Spirit to break down the self-will and cultivate humility.
Watchman Nee’s teachings on the emphasize a life of total surrender, inward guidance, and the "breaking" of the self to allow God's spirit to flow through a believer. This guide synthesizes his core principles found across his major works, including The Communion of the Holy Spirit and The Release of the Spirit . 1. The Necessity of Consecration Holy Spirit - Watchman Nee
A central theme in Nee’s theology is the distinction between the (soul/body) and the inner man (regenerated spirit). : Unexpected events and difficulties are tools used
: Without this unconditional surrender, the Holy Spirit’s work is hindered by the "outward man" (the soul and self). 2. The Discipline of the Holy Spirit "I commit myself into Thy hands".
: Only after this breaking can the inner spirit flow out to minister life and power to others.
: Must be "broken" through trials and the cross.
: It is the moment you realize you cannot live for yourself and tell God, "I commit myself into Thy hands".
