If the mind is open the individual will soon perceive the preciousness of a truth which initially appeared rather dull to him but now is illumined by the spirit's light.
Watchman NeeWe should try our best to pour out all the burdens in our spirit by prayer until all of them have left us.
Watchman NeeGod not only wants to break the outer man...He wants our spirit and our soul...our inner man and outer man to be separated from each other.

Watchman NeeNumerous Christians do not know how to glorify God in their eating and drinking. They do not eat and drink simply to keep their body fit for the Lord's use but indulge to satisfy their personal desires. We should understand that the body is for the Lord and not for ourselves; hence we should refrain from using it for our pleasure. Food ought not hinder our fellowship with God since it is to be taken purely to preserve the body in health.
Watchman Nee
