The Sword.
'The Lord’s people
should understand that it is the Word of God which parts their soul and spirit.
The Lord Jesus is Himself the living Word of God, so He Himself effects the
division.
Are we disposed to
let His life and accomplished work stand between our soul and spirit?
Are we ready to have
His life so fill our spirit that the soul life is immobilized?
The Bible is God’s
written Word. The Lord Jesus uses the teaching of the Bible to separate our
soul and spirit. Are we willing to follow the truth?
Are we ready to do
what the Scriptures teach?
Can we obey the Lord
in accordance with the teaching of Scripture without putting in our opinion as
well?
Do we consider the
authority of the Bible as sufficient without seeking human help in our
obedience?
We must obey the
Lord and everything He teaches us in His Word if we would desire to enter upon
a true spiritual path.
This is the Sword
which is operative to the cleaving of our soul and spirit. ' The Spiritual Man - Watchman Nee.

This is truth, isn't
it? Can any of us deny that this is truth? What part about the above isn't
true?
Re-read this and
let's answer the questions asked.
Question: 'Are we disposed to let His life and
accomplished work stand between our soul and spirit?'
Answer: I want to answer - 'Yes.' Jesus' life and ACCOMPLISHED work DOES stand
between our soul and spirit, it's the only thing that can. Am I disposed to LET Jesus and His work be a
part of my life in truth, in reality, in action?
Question: 'Are we
ready to have His life so fill our spirit that the soul life is immobilized?'
Answer: Please,
Lord, this is what I desire.
Question: 'The Bible
is God’s written Word. The Lord Jesus uses the teaching of the Bible to
separate our soul and spirit. Are we willing to follow the truth?'
Answer: I want to be
willing! Help me be willing!
Question: 'Are we
ready to do what the Scriptures teach?'
Answer: I want to be ready. Please, help me to be
ready!
Question: 'Can we
obey the Lord in accordance with the teaching of Scripture without putting in
our opinion as well?'
Answer: Again, I want to! I want to be able to obey
the Lord in ALL things! I don't want my own opinion to be in it at all!
Question: 'Do we
consider the authority of the Bible as sufficient without seeking human help in
our obedience?'
Answer: YES!
How do You answer
these questions? These truths?
God please help
us! Save us from ourselves!
