The topic for the 2024 Memorial Day Blending Conference was, The Christian Life. It is one of the most well-known topics but at the same time, it is very mysterious. Brother Lee gave a series of messages in Anaheim, California, on February 21 through June 19, 1992 on the topic of, The Christian Life.
Some of the topics he covered were the definition, the contents, the all-inclusive Spirit, the functions of the all-inclusive Spirit, the all-inclusive death of Christ, the all-inclusive resurrection of Christ, the compounding of the Spirit, the Spirit’s application of Christ’s death and its effectiveness, the Spirit’s application of Christ’s resurrection and its power, living and walking by the Spirit, living and walking under the crucifixion of Christ, conformed to the death of Christ, and the living of the processed Triune God as the consummated Spirit.

The Christian Life – 2024 Memorial Day Blending Conference – Key Statements
We need to realize that everything through which we pass has only one purpose – that God’s life would be released through us and expressed in us; may our outer man be broken to such an extent that our inner man can be released and expressed; this is precious, and this is the way of the servants of the Lord.
To abide in the Lord is to be one spirit with Him, and effective prayers are the issue of our abiding in the Lord and of His words abiding in us.
Our enjoyment of Christ as the flow of life is for us to be sowers, planters, waterers, begetters, feeders, and builders with the ministry of life for the marvelous organic building of God, the magnificent house of God.
We all with unveiled face, beholding and reflecting like a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory.

Fellowship on the Breaking of the Outer Man, the Release of the Spirit, and the Manifestation of God the Breaking of the Outer Man for the Release of the Spirit and the Expression of God
We have to know why God has put us in the world. He has put us in the world so that our presence would create a hunger and thirst for righteousness in sinners, believers, and the world. In our work, we have to create a hunger within others. There must be an enigmatic freshness, power, nourishment, and supply within us that will drive others to seek after God by our presence. Others should have a desire to seek after God as a result of meeting us and speaking to us. If we always see others and communicate with them without creating a desire within them for God, it means that we have failed. If our reading of the Bible, prayer, service, and gospel preaching do not produce such a powerful hunger within man, our work has failed. (The Collected Works of Watchman Nee, vol. 42, p. 238)
Second Kings 4 gives us the account of the Shunammite woman’s reception of Elisha. The Bible says that “one day Elisha was passing through Shunem; and there was a wealthy woman there, who compelled him to have a meal. So whenever he passed through, he would turn aside and have a meal there. And she said to her husband, Now I know that this man who continually passes through unto us is a holy man of God” (vv. 8-9). Elisha passed through Shunem. He did not give one message or perform one miracle. Every time he passed through, he turned aside and had a meal there. The woman identified him as a man of God by the way he took his meal. This was the impression that Elisha gave to others.
Today we have to ask ourselves, “What is the impression that we give to others? What is the thing that comes out of us?” We have spoken repeatedly that the outer man must be broken. If the outer man is not broken, the impression that others receive from us will be nothing but the outer man. Every time we contact others, we may give them an unpleasant feeling that we are self-loving, stubborn, and proud. Or we may give them an impression that we are clever and extremely eloquent. Perhaps we give others a so-called good impression. But does this impression satisfy God? Does it meet the church’s need? God is not satisfied, and the church has no need of our so-called good impressions.
…Our outer man must be broken. If our outer man is not broken, our spirit cannot go out, and we cannot give others the impression of a spirit.
…If the outer man is not broken, our spirit will not be released, and the impression we give to others will not be an impression of the spirit.
…What impresses others are the strongest things in us (The Collected Works of Watchman Nee, Volume 8, Series 3, The Brokenness of Man and the Release of the Spirit, pp. 273-274, 272).
…What generates an impression in others is the strongest spots we have in ourselves. (The Collected Works of Watchman Nee, vol. 54, “The Breaking of the Outer Man and the Release of the Spirit,” pp. 238, 237)
