Publisher Description
"The Bible reveals that God is our enjoyment and that all the riches of God, what God is in His fullness, are the riches of Christ (Eph. 3:8, 19b). All the fullness of God is embodied in Christ (Col. 1:19) and becomes the items of the riches of Christ. The reality of Christ is the Spirit, who is the Spirit of reality (John 14:17), and all that Christ is, that is, all the riches of Christ, are revealed in the Word (1:1). Therefore, in order to know the riches of Christ, we have to know the Word, which is the revelation of all that Christ is. Moreover, the place in which we realize the Triune God is our human spirit (3:6). In order to realize Christ and always enjoy Him, we have to exercise our spirit. There is no other way to enjoy Him, and there is no other organ with which we can enjoy Him. We have to exercise our spirit to realize all that God is in Christ through the Holy Spirit and as revealed in the Word. These five items--God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Word, and our spirit--are the factors of our enjoyment of God." This book affords much guidance in how to enjoy Christ as the Word and the Spirit through prayer.

An Essential Guide to Enjoying God in the Word and Prayer
For any Christian who feels (or even does not feel) that their prayer is just not touching God’s heart, and for any Christians who wants to walk the pathway that leads to deeper and richer experiences and enjoyment of God Himself, this book presents clearly how we have a wonderful, sweet, refreshing, enlivening, and enlightening fellowship with the Lord continually through our contact with Him in the Word and in prayer. Witness Lee is emphatic in reminding us that all of our proper conduct and upright human living can only come from one source: our contact with the living Person of Christ continually both as Word and in prayer. When we learn to contact the Lord simply, directly, and genuinely, giving up all religious forms, He becomes real and sweet to us in our personal relationship with Him while at the same time spontaneously begins to express Himself from within us. I can’t recommend this book enough. Prayer is not asking God for things. Prayer is our spiritual breathing so that everything that God is becomes everything we are.
