God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
[Quietism] asserts that the Christian is to be passive (quiet) in the process of spiritual growth and let God do everything. According to quietist teaching, the Christian must exert no energy or effort in the process whatsoever, for feeble human effort only hinders the working of God’s power. Quietists believe Christians must simply surrender fully to the Holy Spirit (also called “yielding,” “dying to self,” “crucifying oneself,” “mortifying the flesh,” or “placing one’s life on the altar”). The Spirit then moves in and lives a life of victory through us, and Christ literally replaces us (“it is no longer I who lives, but Christ lives in me” – Gal. 2:20). In its extreme variety, quietism is a spiritual passivism in which God becomes wholly responsible for the believer’s behavior, and the believer feels he must never exert personal effort to pursue righteous living. Quietists have popularized the phrases, “Let go and let God,” and “I can’t; He can.”

INSTRUCTIONS
*Note: Chicken should be about 2-1/2 lbs., and be cut into serving pieces.
Arrange the chicken parts in a glass or earthenware bowl and rub all over
with lemon juice. Allow to stand while heating the butter and oil in a
heavy braising pot. Slip the chicken into the fat and cook over medium
heat, turning with tongs to avoid pricking the flesh; saute until light
chestnut in color. Heat the wine in a small pan, pour over the chicken,
shake the pan, and continue cooking over low heat. Stir in the tomatoes and
tomato paste, slip the cinnamon and cloves in among the pieces, and cover.
Simmer over the lowest possible heat for 1-1/2 hours, or until the chicken
is tender and the sauce thick. Or, transfer to a medium slow oven (325 F)
to complete the cooking. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm over
cooked grain or mashed potatoes with green raw or cooked vegetables and
chilled wine. Garnish with parsley or watercress.
