God is Energizing in Us, Daniel Baron

Although I was a believer from an early time in my life, I drifted away from much of a relationship with the Lord in my later teen years. Wandering in the world and studying religion, philosophy and some psychology, attaining some self-improvement and self-control, I found that I was still empty. Eventually I came to a dead end.

People around me that were supposed to be Christians presented what was to me a vague, gray view of life. Nothing black and white; wrong and right was blurred.

So when I contacted some Christians at a campus I attended I had questions for them that they answered with such simple clarity it was if light had just broken through into my understanding, confirming and improving what I knew.

Just as a stream, the ministry of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee continued to flow to me and the more I got, the more clear the Bible and God became to me.

Now, almost 20 years since that first contact with this ministry, I am a 47 year old husband, and father of two daughters. Now this stream has flowed into me enough to have begun to flow through me and out of me.

So I not only have realized, but also have experienced and enjoyed, what Paul referred to as “this heavenly vision,” that of Christ and the church, made up of all His believers, which is God's eternal purpose (Acts 26:16-20). His plan today to work Himself as life into man is being carried out to satisfaction by the ministry of the Spirit that gives life. Watchman Nee, and Witness Lee after him, picked up this ministry and were faithful to this heavenly vision to my benefit to such an extent that I would need to write a book to describe.

Hallelujah and thank our Lord Jesus for all He has done with flowing to us such a spirit that gives life to energize us to live out God in expression and function to glorify Him. Now I have such a sense of being complete fulfilled and fully satisfied in Christ.
