Nee tries to show that it is all Biblical but the Bible, for example in the NT - Paul's writings, are heavy sledding in many parts so it is not just Nee. It's the Bible in many parts of the OT and especially in John and many of Paul's writings. Heavy sledding and people think they have it figured out but they are still working on it. Love God, love your brother...the rest will work itself out.

Dave, if you care to say anymore about this, specifically about the applicable parts of Jessie Penn-Lewis' teachings, it may be instructive. Probably a lot of us (well, I'll speak for myself, anyway) aren't that familiar w/Penn-Lewis' writings, other than that she highly emphasized highly subjective experience.
