More quotes by Watchman Nee

Image
Frequently the enemy entices Christians to harbor an unforgiving spirit - a very common symptom indeed among God's children. Such bitterness and fault-finding and enmity inflict a severe blow upon spiritual life.
Watchman Nee
Image
A mistaken thought may be corrected easily, but an errant affection is nearly unmanageable.
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
The clerical system of church management is exceedingly popular, but the whole thought is foreign to Scripture.
Watchman Nee
Image
The cross grants us position, the Holy Spirit gives us experience.
Watchman Nee
Image
The burden imparted by God is lifted once we have prayed, but the heaviness from the enemy cannot be raised unless we fight and resist in prayer.
Watchman Nee
Image
An affection which is not inspired by the Lord will soon be transformed into lust. Samson is not alone in the history of man in failing in this regard. Delilah is still cutting the hair of man today!
Watchman Nee

Knowing the truth concerning the deep workings of the evil spirit helps the individual not only to overcome sins but to eliminate unnecessary afflictions as well.
Watchman Nee
Image
The book of Acts is the best aid in approaching our work. We do not find there anyone consecrating himself as a preacher nor anyone deciding to do the Lord's work by making himself a missionary or a pastor. What we do see is the Holy Spirit Himself appointing and sending men out to do the work.
Watchman Nee
Image
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.
Watchman Nee
Image
Not until we take the place of a servant can He take His place as Lord.
Watchman Nee
Image
The Christian experience, from start to finish, is a journey of faith.
Watchman Nee
Image
An unpeaceful mind cannot operate normally.
Watchman Nee
Image
God is not seeking a display of my Christ-likeness , but a manifestation of His Christ.
Watchman Nee
Image
May we always be possessed by the consciousness that we are not our own.
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
Our rest lies in looking to the Lord, not to ourselves.
Watchman Nee
Image
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
All satanic works are performed from the outside inward all divine works from the inside outward.
Watchman Nee
Image
A drowning man cannot be saved until he is utterly exhausted and ceases to make the slightest effort to save himself.
