A short sharing from the winter training



Recently I enjoy this portion that is also in line with the book of Numbers. The message named "God's keeping power" was originally released by brother Nee to the new believers. I highlighted the specific section I enjoyed concerning the need to eat the Anakim: "Our bread is not only the Word of God, our meat is not only to do His will, our bread is also the Anakim- the difficulties that are in our way". I enjoy that apart from our "spiritual enjoyment", we also need to eat well on Anakim. Caleb was such a person who ate and assimilated a lot of Anakim so he could be a person who was strong and full of vitality even when he reached a much older age.

The Anakim can be bread for us and become our nourishment are nothing to do with any effort from our side but require our eyes set on Him and trust in Him. This is His keeping power. When we humble ourselves before Him, we will be able to stand upon His victory.

My take was that although I do feel frustrated and disappointed by many things (including myself), the One who's more than able to keep me to the end is not me but Him. However, it requires my little cooperation with Him. I need to forget about many other things and simply set my eyes on Him and trust that He is and He is able to keep me (without blemish) from this day to the day of His return.

But in all these things we more than conquer through Him who loved us (Rom 8:37).
