Watchman Nee
Image
And it is through conflict that God induces the believer to seek and to grasp total triumph in Christ.
Watchman Nee

Watchman Nee
Image
We may be weak, but looking at our weakness will never make us strong.
Watchman Nee
Image
As God's child advances spiritually be shall discover that the Lord's time is as important as the Lord's will. Do not rashly beget an Ishmael lest he become the greatest enemy to Isaac.
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
The attitude of saints toward their possessions most assuredly signifies whether they continue to preserve their self life or whether they have consigned it to death.
Watchman Nee
Image
I do not consecrate myself to be a missionary or a preacher. I consecrate myself to God to do His will where I am, be it in school, office, or kitchen, or wherever He may, in His wisdom, send me.
Watchman Nee
Image
All we have-ourselves-to Him, and if that be all, that is enough.
