Quote

When a believer has crossed into the domain of the spiritual he daily ought to maintain a combat attitude in his spirit, praying therewith for the overthrow of all the works of Satan done through the evil powers.

More quotes by Watchman Nee

Image
All spiritual prayers have their source in God. God makes known to us what we ought to pray by unfolding to us the need and by giving that need as a burden in our intuitive spirit. Only an intuitive burden can constitute our call to pray.
Watchman Nee
Image
God aims first to renew man's darkened spirit by imparting life to it, because it is this spirit which God originally designed to receive His life and to commune with Him. God's intent after that is to work out from the spirit to permeate man's soul and body.
Watchman Nee
Image
Let us recognize this one thing: burden is the secret of prayer. If a person does not feel within him burden to pray for a particular matter he can hardly succeed in prayer. In a prayer meeting some brothers and sisters may mention a great many subjects for prayer. But if you are not touched inwardly, you cannot pray.

If Christ lives in us, we will rejoice in everything, and we will thank and praise the Lord. We will say, 'Hallelujah! Praise the Lord' forever.

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
If you perform your part, God will fulfill His. And once you put off specifically, you should just as thoroughly believe that God will renew your mind, despite the fact you know not how.

Every true work is not done to the poor. Every true work is done to Me.
Watchman Nee
Image
The Christian experience, from start to finish, is a journey of faith.
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

One gains by losing self for others and not by hoarding for oneself.
Watchman Nee
Image
Teach us to pray that we may cause The enemy to flee, That we his evil power may bind, His prisoners to free.
Watchman Nee
Image
People who are lazy, careless, doubtful-minded or arrogant need not expect God to reveal His secret or covenant to them.

A born-again person ought to possess unspeakable peace in the spirit.

Our rest lies in looking to the Lord, not to ourselves.
Watchman Nee

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.

The clerical system of church management is exceedingly popular, but the whole thought is foreign to Scripture.
Watchman Nee
Image
Satan can only attack us from the outside in. He may work through the lust and sensations of the body or through the mind and emotion of the soul, for those two belong to the outward man.

Good is not always God's will, but God's will is always good.
