The All-Inclusive Christ
From Deuteronomy, Witness Lee presents a
detailed study of some of the unsearchable riches of the good land as
applied to our experience as believers today. The All-inclusive Christ encourages God’s seekers to daily experience and enjoy Christ as the good land for the fulfillment of God’s eternal purpose.
Basic Elements of the Christian Life, vol. 1
For those seeking God and for believers
who desire to grow in Christ, the chapters in this volume will establish
a firm foundation for a rich and meaningful Christian life. Chapter one
delves into God’s plan of salvation, and the following chapters detail
basic yet crucial experiences for Christians. The final chapter presents
the key to a believer’s Christian life—the experience of Christ in the
human spirit.
Basic Elements of the Christian Life, vol. 2
The central matter of the Christian life
is to know Christ Himself. For this we need to contact and experience
Him in a living way day by day. This daily experience includes proper
spiritual food, regular spiritual worship, and deep spiritual growth,
which are discussed in this volume.
Basic Elements of the Christian Life, vol. 3
God wants us to live according to His
life, rather than merely by right and wrong. When the life of God
operates in us, His shining brings us into a proper living and builds us
up with other believers as His church. This volume details these
experiences, and also presents a way to daily be nourished in the Lord’s
Word both for our own growth and for the building up of the church.
The Economy of God
The Economy of God shows from the
Scriptures God’s eternal purpose and the way God is carrying out this
purpose through His relationship with man. It uses many practical and
helpful illustrations to guide believers into the deeper dimensions of
the Christian life.
The Glorious Church
Watchman Nee discusses how God views the
church, the redeemed believers, from a heavenly perspective. Far from
seeing her as defeated by the power of sin and sins, God views the
church as the glorious counterpart of Christ. Highlighting four
significant representations of the church in the Bible—Eve in Genesis 2,
the wife in Ephesians 5, the woman in Revelation 12, and the Bride in
Revelation 21 and 22—he presents the church’s high calling to fulfill
God’s eternal purpose.
The Knowledge of Life
The Knowledge of Life looks at
the believer’s need to possess and experience God’s divine life in order
to fulfill God’s purpose. Author Witness Lee illuminates the path that
leads to life, beginning with regeneration and advancing to knowing the
inward sense of life. This book provides a foundation for the genuine
experience of Christ.
How To Be Sure God Listens To Your Prayers
There are certain requirements we must fulfill before God will listen to our prayers.
We Must Belong to God.“There is one God and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus” (1Timothy 2:5). Because Jesus is the mediator between us and God, we must give Him our total allegiance.
Before I yielded the control of my life to Jesus Christ, I would pray, but I was never sure if God was listening or would answer. After I asked Him to be the Lord of my life, I had confidence that God was hearing and answering my prayers.
We Must Pray to God the Father in the Name of His Son Jesus Christ.
Only the name of Jesus Christ gives us credibility with the Father — not our education, our wealth or poverty, our church, our background or our position — only Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “If you ask anything in my name, I will do it” (John 14:14).
Sometimes I use my husband’s name, or my church, or my work to gain credibility with people I meet. But only Jesus’ name gives us credibility with the Father.
We Must have a Clean Heart.
Psalm 66:18 says, “If I had known of any sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened to me.”
It is very important to keep a clean heart before God. Someone said, “I ‘fess them as I does them, I don’t bunch them.” Don’t wait until you go to church or a crisis arises in your life to confess your sins to God. As soon as you become aware of an attitude or action that is displeasing to God, admit that it is wrong and thank God for His forgiveness. 1 John 1:9 tells us that if we confess our sins, God is faithful to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
We Must have a Forgiving Spirit.
In Mark 11:25, Jesus says, “Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven my forgive your transgressions.”
Jesus makes it very clear that we can’t carry anger, hatred, or bitterness in our hearts toward anyone if we expect God to forgive us and/or hear our prayers.
We must Pray in Faith.
Jesus said in Matthew 21:22, “And everything you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.”
The very fact that you are asking God for your needs demonstrates your faith.
The answers come every time, but not always in the way we expect. There are times when God answeres prayer as soon as we pray. Other times we have to wait for them to be answered. Sometimes is anwer is “No”, like all good parents, He gives us what is good for us, but not what is harmful to us, but He always listens and answers.
by Katherine J Kehler
If you want to be sure God is listening to your prayers, consider if you have ever asked Jesus Christ into your life, you can do so right now by submitting to him with a simple but powerful prayer.
“Lord Jesus, I want you to listen and answer my prayers, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be.”
If you prayed this prayer, we would love to hear from you . Perhaps we could connect you with a mentor or provide resourceful links that could help you in your journey to know God in a deeper way.
