In today’s episode, Nancy continues reading Chapter 12 of The Normal Christian Life by Watchman Nee, diving into the section titled “Natural Energy in the Work of God.” This powerful reading confronts one of the most subtle dangers in Christian life—relying on our natural gifts, talents, or intellect to do spiritual work, rather than depending wholly on the life of Christ within.

It’s not about what we can do for God, but about whether what we do originates from Him. Nancy invites us to ask: Are we simply changing the subject of our interests, or have we truly shifted the source of our power? This is a call to stop relying on soul strength and instead allow the cross to bring death to what is merely natural, so resurrection life can flow. The episode is a strong call to discern the origin of our energy and let God’s light search us—because only what begins in Him will remain.
