How does God reveal what is truly of the Spirit—and what is merely of the soul? In this episode, we turn to Watchman Nee’s powerful section, The Light of God and Knowledge, from The Normal Christian Life. We discover that the soul cannot diagnose itself—and that real self-knowledge only comes when the light of God breaks in. This isn’t about introspection or religious striving. It’s about the moment His Word enters and exposes the self-life—not to condemn, but to cleanse. Because only what is exposed can be surrendered, and only what is surrendered can be broken.

“In Thy light shall we see light.” (Psalm 36:9)

Study Guide – Reflect and Listen

• If only God’s light can reveal what’s truly of the Spirit, why do I still rely on self-evaluation?
• If I can’t know myself through analysis, what does it mean to invite God to search me instead?
• If I’m sincere—but still soulish—how might the light of God reveal mixture I’ve never seen before?
