Witness Lee’s Impressions of Contact with Watchman Nee: 1925 - 1950

H. A Gift of the Age

Witness Lee considered Watchman Nee to be a unique gift given by the Head to His Body for His recovery in this age. Witness Lee fully respected him as such a gift. He had the full confidence and assurance that it was absolutely of the Lord that he followed this gift for the Lord’s interest in His present move on this earth. Witness Lee felt no shame whatsoever in saying that he followed a man-a man that was the unique gift and the seer of the divine visions in this age. Witness Lee was more than grateful to the Lord that immediately after being saved he was brought into such a profitable relationship with Watchman Nee and put into the closest relationship with him in the work of His recovery through so many events over a long period of time. The revelations concerning Christ, the church, the spirit, and life which Witness Lee saw through Watchman Nee, the infusions of life which he received from him, and the things concerning the work and the church which he learned from him will require eternity to evaluate their true worth.
