A friend sent me this book along with two others from her late father's library. Of the three, this was my favorite. Watchman Nee uses Ephesians and discusses his view that first we must rest in God for as long as it takes for us to trust him implicitly. This occurs when it is a natural part of us--something that we no longer have to consciously think about. It has become integrated into our very being. At that point, we will trust that God will carry us through whatever circumstances befall us, including spiritual warfare.
Excellent book on Ephesians and our relationship with Christ, the world and Satan.
This is a book of talks based on the three key worlds in the Epistle to the Ephesians describing the believer's position in Christ, his life in the world and his attitude to the wiles of the enemy.
Good easy commentaryh on Epheasians
Prachtige, heldere en blijmakende uiteenzetting van het evangelie aan de hand van de brief van Paulus aan de gemeente in Efeze. Van de tien boeken die ik ken van Watchman Nee, is dit de beste wat mij betreft.. Dit dunne, kleine boekje is één van de bemoedigenste boeken die ik ken.

First words
Ein Gott wohlgefälliges Christenleben muss in allen Dingen Gott entsprechen.
If the life of a Christian is to be pleasing to God it must be properly adjusted to Him in all things.
Quotations
God is so wealthy that his chief desire is to give. His treasure-stores are so full that it is pain for Him when we refuse Him an opportunity of lavishing those treasures upon us.
It is grief to the heart of God when we try to provide things for Him. He is so very, very rich. It gives Him true joy when we just let Him give and give and give again to us. It is a grief to Him, too, when we try to do thin... (show all)gs for Him for He is so very, very able.
