October 18, 2020<h1></h1> A ANYONE who serves God will discover sooner or later that the great hindrance to his work is not others but himself. He will discover that his outward man and his inward man are not in harmony, for both are tending toward opposite directions. He will also sense the inability of his outward man to submit .to the spirit's control, thus rendering him incapable of obeying God's highest commands.<h1></h1> He will quickly detect that the greatest difficulty lies in his outward man, for it hinders him from using his spirit. Many of God's servants are not able to do even the most elementary works. Ordinarily they should be enabled by the exercise of their spirit to know God's Word, to discern the spiritual condition of another, to send forth God's messages under anointing and to receive God's revelations. Yet due to the distractions of the outward man, their spirit does not seem to function properly. <h1></h1>It is basically because their outward man has never been dealt with. For this reason revival, zeal, pleading and activity are but a waste of time. As we shall see, there is just one basic dealing which can enable man to be useful before God : brokenness. <h1></h1>By Watchman Nee: Importance of Brokenness
