Spiritual advancement is measured by faithful obedience.
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
The fruit of the Spirit is . . . self-control
Watchman Nee
Image
The Lord has shown me that I can do anything, but that He has said, apart from Me ye can do nothing. So it comes to this, that everything I have done, and can still do apart from Him is nothing!
Watchman Nee
Image
I need forgiveness for my sins, but I need also deliverance from the power of sin... I appreciate the blessed fact of God's forgiveness, but I want something more than that: I want deliverance. I need forgiveness for what I have done, but I need also deliverance from what I am.
Watchman Nee
Image
The idea of waste only comes into our Christianity when we underestimate the worth of our Lord.
Watchman Nee
Image
The life of faith is not only totally different from, but also diametrically opposite to, a life of feeling.
Watchman Nee
Image
Irrespective of how we physiologically are made, even possessing special weaknesses, we can overcome our sins through the Lord.
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
God will answer all our questions in one way and one way only. Namely, by showing us more of his Son.
Watchman Nee
Image
Baptism is an outward expression of an inward faith.
Watchman Nee
Image
Our prayers lay the track down which God's power can come.
Watchman Nee
Image
If whatever men know comes through their brain without the Holy Spirit regenerating their spirit, then their knowledge will help them not one whit. If their belief rests in man's wisdom and not in God's power, they are merely excited in their soul.
Watchman Nee
Image
Most soulish believers assume an attitude of self-righteousness, though often it is scarcely detectable. They hold tenaciously to their minute opinions we ought to lay aside the small differences and pursue the common objective.
Watchman Nee
Image
If we just had more revelation of what we already have, there would be far less prayers and far more praise.
Watchman Nee
Image
God not only wants to break the outer man...He wants our spirit and our soul...our inner man and outer man to be separated from each other.
Watchman Nee
Image
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
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
On at least four separate occasions and recorded in the four Gospels the Lord Jesus called His disciples to deny their soul life, deliver it to death, and then to follow Him.
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.
