Some of the most spiritual-sounding forms of ministry today are keeping self alive. Inner healing, prophetic processing, even prayer ministry — when fueled by the wrong source — can preserve the very thing God has already judged. In this fifth episode of Knowing the Self, Alex exposes the hidden motive behind much of our ‘healing’ language: self still trying to stay in control.

This episode calls time on the version of ministry that comforts what God wants to crucify. It speaks to those who are still striving, still performing, still asking Jesus to walk with them into their pain — but who haven’t yet agreed with the Father’s verdict on self.

📘 In this reading from The Messenger of the Cross, Watchman Nee pulls back the curtain with three devastating truths:

1⃣ “God has one aim — to bring you to the end of yourself so that you may know yourself.”

2⃣ “You were the one active, and it was all for your own self.”

3⃣ “When a believer ceases to trust in himself, God saves him completely in that moment.”

🧭 Ask Yourself: → Am I asking God to heal what He wants to kill? → Is my pursuit of breakthrough really just a way to keep control? → What would it mean to stop expecting anything from self — and fall fully into Christ?
