Our bread is not only the Word of God, our meat is not only to do His will, our bread is also...the difficulties that are in our way.
Watchman Nee
Image
God is not seeking a display of my Christ-likeness , but a manifestation of His Christ.
Watchman Nee
Image
Genuine spiritual knowledge lies not in wonderful and mysterious thoughts but in actual spiritual experience through union of the believer's life with truth.
Watchman Nee
Image
How dangerous a master human emotion is!
Watchman Nee
Image
If you would test the character of anything, you only need to enquire whether that thing leads you to God or away from God.
Watchman Nee
Image
When the fruit of your service is out of all proportion to the gifts you possess, THAT is Blessing!
Watchman Nee
Image
It is a fact that God wants to destroy every work of our flesh, but He never desires to destroy our personality. He takes no pleasure in transforming us into automata rather He delights in having us cooperate with Him.
Watchman Nee
Image
True spiritual life depends not on probing our feelings and thoughts from dawn to dusk but on 'looking off' to the Savior!
Watchman Nee
Image
God will not give me humility, or patience, or holiness, or love as separate investments of His grace. He has given only one gift to meet our need, His Son Christ Jesus.
Watchman Nee
Image
We should try our best to pour out all the burdens in our spirit by prayer until all of them have left us.
Watchman Nee
Image
Revelation is the first step to holiness, and consecration is the second. A day must come in our lives, as definite as the day of our conversion, when we give up all right to ourselves and submit to the absolute Lordship of Jesus Christ.
Watchman Nee
Image
None who are shod with fleshly shoes can stand on the holy ground of God's service. Many failures and much waste and confusion which have resulted are due to men's coming to work, instead of being sent out to work.
Watchman Nee
Image
Separation to God, separation from the world, is the first principle of Christian living.
Watchman Nee
Image
Our old history ends with the Cross our new history begins with the resurrection.
Watchman Nee
Image
Lord, I am willing to break my heart in order that I may satisfy Thy heart!
Watchman Nee
Image
The Blood deals with what we have done, whereas the Cross deals with what we are. The Blood disposes of our sins, while the Cross strikes at the root of our capacity for sin.
Watchman Nee
Image
Fellowship means among other things that we are ready to receive of Christ from others. Other believers minister Christ to me, and I am ready to receive.
Watchman Nee
Image
If one's conscience is willing to confess whatever sins have been committed, including the sin of unbelief, it will be sorrowful in a godly way, earnestly desiring the mercy of God.
Watchman Nee
Image
We should not open our mouths too hastily upon approaching God. On the contrary, we first must ask God to show us what and how to pray before we make our request known to Him. Have we not consumed a great deal of time in the past asking for what we wanted? Why not now ask for what God wants?

At times it seems we require more grace to lose our wealth than to lose our life!
