More quotes by Watchman Nee
It is not only the proclamation of the whole truth that is needed today it is the release of the spiritual reality which the truth expresses, and that can only be realized as we allow ourselves to be caught into the mighty on-flowing tide of the Spirit.
Watchman Nee
Christ is the Son of God. He died to atone for men's sin, and after three days rose again. This is the most important fact in the universe. I die believing in Christ.
Watchman Nee
Baptism is an outward expression of an inward faith.
Watchman Nee
We may be weak, but looking at our weakness will never make us strong.
Watchman Nee
There is nothing more tragic than to come to the end of life and know we have been on the wrong course.
Watchman Nee
The Spirit is both a builder and a dweller. He cannot dwell where he has not built He builds to dwell and dwells in only what he has built.
Watchman Nee
Therefore, brethren, pray until God gives us revelation so that knowing this in our spirit we may truly confess that our old man has been crucified with him.
Watchman Nee
If you would test the character of anything, you only need to enquire whether that thing leads you to God or away from God.
Watchman Nee
The particular sin of omission which gives ground to the evil spirits is the believer’s passivity.
Watchman Nee
Good is not always God's will, but God's will is always good.
Watchman Nee
The devil abhors light and truth because these remove the ground of his working.
Watchman Nee
Without this heart attitude it is exceedingly difficult for us to accept the circumcision of the flesh. Every affection, desire, thought, knowledge, intent, worship, and work of the flesh must go to the cross.
Watchman Nee
We must not pay attention just to reading and studying rather, we should ask if we are open before the Lord. If we do not have an unveiled face, the glory of the Lord will not shine on us. If our heart is not open to God, God cannot give us any light.
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
We must have a spirit of power towards the enemy, a spirit of love towards men, and a spirit of self-control towards ourselves.
Watchman Nee
One gains by losing self for others and not by hoarding for oneself.
Watchman Nee
To remove warfare from a spiritual life is to render it unspiritual. Life in the spirit is a suffering way, filled with watching and laboring, burdened by weariness and trial, punctuated by heartbreak and conflict. It is a life utterly outpoured for the kingdom of God and lived in complete disregard for one's personal happiness.
Watchman Nee
Faith in Christ makes one a regenerated believer obedience to the Holy Spirit makes him a spiritual believer.
Watchman Nee
A spiritual Christian therefore is one whose spirit is led by God's Spirit... Perhaps their speech does convey truth, but without the quickening of the Holy Spirit even truth is of small advantage.
Watchman Nee
The cross grants us position, the Holy Spirit gives us experience.
