More quotes by Watchman Nee
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
Frequently the burden or concern in the spirit is for prayer.
Watchman Nee
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
He who is able to accept everything gladly from the Lord - including darkness, dryness, flatness - and completely disregard self is he who lives for Him.
Watchman Nee
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
From the evening I was saved, I began to live a new life, for the life of the eternal God had entered into me.
Watchman Nee
For God to reveal His Son in us is not the result of research or searching it is entirely a matter of mercy and revelation. It is an inward seeing, an inner knowing.
Watchman Nee
The gospel we preach must not be just something we hear from men or read from books or even conceived through our meditation. Unless it is delivered to us by God, it can serve no spiritual utility.
Watchman Nee
True revelation of the fact of the Spirit's indwelling will revolutionize the life of any Christian.
Watchman Nee
If we just had more revelation of what we already have, there would be far less prayers and far more praise.
Watchman Nee
Grace means that God does something for me law means that I do something for God. God has certain holy and righteous demands which he places upon me: that is law. Now if law means that God requires something of me for their fulfillment, then deliverance from law means he no longer requires that from me, but himself provides it.
Watchman Nee
Never adopt an attitude of indifference, for if you do you will suffer for it. The weight will grow heavier and heavier.
Watchman Nee
Frequently what we say is rest is merely laziness. Our body requires respite and so does our mind and spirit. But a person should never rest because of a laziness which arises from the evil nature in his emotion. How often laziness and emotional distaste for work join to employ physical fatigue as a cover-up.
Watchman Nee
True spiritual life depends not on probing our feelings and thoughts from dawn to dusk but on 'looking off' to the Savior!
Watchman Nee
Long-lasting victory can never be separated from a long-lasting stand on the foundation of the cross.
Watchman Nee
Everyone who believes in God must have His revelation in his spirit, or else what he believes is not God but mere human wisdom, ideals or words. Such faith cannot endure the test.
Watchman Nee
Separation to God, separation from the world, is the first principle of Christian living.
Watchman Nee
God has supplied all my needs and has not failed me once.
Watchman Nee
We may love to say many things, but if these are not uttered in the Holy Spirit it is better to say nothing. The flesh can conjure up many plans and methods and be full of expectations. The righteousness of the flesh is as abhorrent as its sin we must always maintain God's view of the flesh.
Watchman Nee
It is highly dangerous to receive the truths of the Bible with human wisdom, for this is a hidden and subtle method which invariably causes a believer to perfect with his flesh the work of the Holy Spirit.
