Title: Spiritual Discernment — Watchman Nee
.
"The mind is the most active part of the soul. It used to be like a wild horse, but now it is being restrained by the will. And the will is in cooperation with the spirit.
.
The way to a spirit-controlled soul comes about as follows: At the moment when the mind begins to think of questionable things and to wander, the first step of control is to discern, that is, to see the condition of the mind in the light of God. The second step is to drive out or cast aside such unhealthy thoughts. And the third step is to return to quietness in God’s presence. Then, begin to prove under the light received what are the permissible, even the acceptable, thoughts of God.
.
Emotion is the lowest, the most unreasonable, part of the soul; yet it exerts the greatest power in swaying the will. Whatever emotion is attached to, the will will usually agree, for emotion acts like a favored child who always gets what he wants with a few cries before his mother. It almost seems that the entire life of a person is controlled by emotion: by what it likes or seeks after. Indeed, it’s like or dislike is rather irrational. However, if it comes under the control of the spirit, it cannot act so independently as it wishes. It has to yield to God's approval or permission, though it will always strive against God’s wish. This is the striving between the spirit and the flesh. It causes the greatest pain to the soul. For the soul is not able to like what emotion naturally likes of a person, thing or affair. There in the very depth of man is something that desires after God."
