The idea of waste only comes into our Christianity when we underestimate the worth of our Lord.
Watchman NeeA drowning man cannot be saved until he is utterly exhausted and ceases to make the slightest effort to save himself.
Watchman NeeThe Christian life from start to finish is based upon this principle of utter dependence upon the Lord Jesus.
Watchman NeePut very simply, Satan's power in the world is everywhere. Yet wherever men and women walk in the Spirit, sensitive to the anointing they have from God, that power of his just evaporates. There is a line drawn by God, a boundary where by virtue of his own very presence Satan's writ does not run. Let God but occupy all the space himself, and what room is left for the evil one?
