Timeless Truth From Watchman Nee’s Sit, Walk, Stand

Posted By: lorilynngreene On:


On today’s Samaritan Truth, Lydia O’Leary and Adam Small joined Lori to discuss Watchman Nee’s book Sit, Walk, Stand. They started off talking about how Nee spent his last twenty years in prison. They expounded where he spoke of “Putting right the matters that hindered his effectiveness.”

Next, they discussed the importance of “Sitting” in God’s rest, and not exerting self effort, but learning to live in Christ. They pointed out that it is by an outworking of the Spirit that we can begin to “Walk” in God’s purposes and plans. The analogy of a diet vs a lifestyle of being healthy was discussed to further illustrate how this unfolds. They also talked about living from the finished work of Jesus, and not trying to work for a life.

The conversation then highlighted how to “Stand” before enemies instead of wrestling against people, because we’re really dealing with principalities and powers of darkness. The then talked about how some people believe lies and act them out unknowingly. Finally, another analogy was shared about the kingdom of Camelot to illustrate how we have already won, and now we are just keeping what we have.  Listen in and hear more about it.
