At the Annual Meeting of the Society for Pentecostal Studies I presented a comparative study of prayer, tears, and the spirit world in two figures of Chinese Christianity—Watchman Nee and Jing Dianying, founder of the Jesus Family movement.
The paper
“Prayer and Tears against Dryness in Humanity: Watchman Nee and Jing Dianying’s Spiritualities and Their Interaction with China’s Spirit World.”
If our prayers are seasoned with tears, they will be answered much sooner. Many prayers are heartless prayers because there are no tears in them.
Watchman Nee
Prayer without tears is dry!
Jing Dianying, founder of the Jesus Family
