DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Watchman Nee emphasizes that obedience to God's will leads to the
crushing of Satan under our feet, as stated in Romans 16:20. He explains
that the Holy Spirit guides us into deeper fellowship with God, making
the victory of Christ's sacrifice at Golgotha a tangible reality in our
lives. Nee asserts that Christians have been given authority over the
enemy's power, as highlighted in Luke 10:19, and that experiencing
victory is essential for a fruitful Christian life. He warns that a
defeated Christian cannot bear fruit and that many believers fail to
realize the absolute victory available to them in Christ, leading to
various spiritual struggles. Ultimately, he encourages believers to
embrace their God-given authority and live in the victory that is theirs
through faith.

If we obey God's will, He will crush Satan under our feet (Rom. 16:20).
The Holy Spirit will guide us to greater fellowship with God and make
the victory of Golgotha real to us. The Lord has given us the authority
to tread over the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19). Victory is a
necessary experience of the Christian life. A defeated Christian cannot
bear fruit. Depressions, wavering of faith, dullness of the will,
darkness in the mind, suppression in the spirit, inability to pray or
control the forces that come from outside, and subjection to these
forces have not been ordained by God for a Christian. Many believers
fail because they do not know or realize the absolute victory that is
reserved for them in Christ.
