God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow ... And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:9-11

Watchman Nee on Brokenness

Watchman Nee was probably the major vessel used by the Lord to plant Christianity in China.

In his early years he was of great consternation to Margaret (M.E.) Barber, who was concerned he was seeking after far too much head knowledge than experience of the Lord.

According to Nee, Barber was probably the one Christian who gave him the most help.

After some time, and as he matured, Nee's experience caught up with his head knowledge, as he began to be persecuted by institutional Christianity because of his stand on the church.

Most importantly, Nee started to experience more and more the shared sufferings of Christ, and in the area of brokenness he had a lot to say, as these couple of videos confirm.

He spent the last 20 years of his life in prison for his faith in Jesus Christ.
