I never knew of the economy of God or the “all-inclusive Christ” or “the tree of life”, but by reading these books and by meeting with the saints, little by little I entered into the enjoyment of the Lord and appreciated Him more. I knew what many of these words mean, but I never thought that they can be applied to Christ and to God. One day we received a few books by Witness Lee from some saints, such as “The Experience of Life”, “the Tree of Life”, “The All-inclusive Christ”, and, “the Economy of God”. I did hear of Watchman Nee: my parents who were very seeking read his books, but not of Witness Lee. Who is this “Witness Lee”, and why do I quote him so much on this blog? I personally have never met him, and until I got to the age of 16-17 years old I never heard of him. Then you will have the faith and the speaking spirit.Many of the blog posts at are inspired from and reference to the ministry of Witness Lee and Watchman Nee. We have to learn the lesson to stay in the spirit. But many of us fluctuate too much simply because we are not so stable in the spirit. I do not care for all the troubling, outward circumstances. I have the spirit of faith, and I must speak in the spirit of faith. I have learned the lesson not to care for all these disturbing things. Even when I come into the entrance of the meeting hall, something might happen. Sometimes when I come to the meeting to minister, frustrating things will come up one by one. When we turn to the spirit, we have the spirit of faith. We all must learn to turn ourselves to the spirit. They will be depressed by just a little thing. Nothing will bother you.Ī number of the saints are fragile they are easily subdued and broken. If you turn to the spirit, you will not care about what hymn has been called. I turn to the spirit of faith.' If you remain in the mind, Satan has many ways to catch you. If you practice this, the meetings will be in the third heaven.Ī brother may call a hymn, and for no reason you will think that you do not like that hymn. Then you should open up your mouth to speak for the Lord. When you have this sensation, you should immediately declare that Satan is a liar. Actually, this sensation of dullness is Satan himself. Sometimes when you come into the meeting, you may have a sensation that the atmosphere is dull. You do not speak, because you are so much in the mind. The more you think, the more you consider, the harder it is for you to open up your mouth. As the saints are functioning in the meeting, you may say to yourself things like this: 'This one is too poor.' 'This one is too loud.' 'That is a word without experience.' 'That is shouting without reality.' When you are thinking in this way, you are in your mind, so your mouth is shut up by your thinking. When you look at yourself and at the other brothers and sisters, you have a lot of considerations. Many of you do not open up your mouth in the meeting, because even after you come through the entrance into the meeting hall, you are still in your mind. The Scripture says, 'I believed, therefore I spoke.' It should be the same with us. We come to the meeting to speak, not to talk. To talk is one thing, but to speak is another thing. This believing faith immediately becomes the speaking faith. When you turn to the spirit, you believe. When he succeeded in this, Eve had a question mark put in her concerning God. The book of Genesis tells us that Satan did his best to turn Eve from her spirit to her mind (3:1-5). When you are in the meeting, you may agree with everything that is said, but after you go back home, you may turn to your mind and begin to doubt what you heard. If we turn back to our mind, we have doubts. If we turn from our mind to our spirit, we have faith. Doubts are in our mind, but faith is in our spirit. When we are in the mind, we have a mind of doubts, not a spirit of faith. We do not speak in the meetings, because we are so much in the mind. We speak, not according to our mind, not according to what we think, but according to what is written. In 2 Corinthians 4:13 Paul said, 'And having the same spirit of faith according to that which is written, ‘I believed, therefore I spoke,’ we also believe, therefore we also speak.' This verse says that we have the spirit of faith, so we speak.
