Quote

Because the Lord Jesus died on the Cross, I have received forgiveness of sins because the Lord Jesus rose from the dead, I have received new life because the Lord Jesus has been exalted to the right hand of the Father, I have received the outpoured Spirit. All is because of Him nothing is because of me.

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

Image
Baptism is faith in action.
Watchman Nee
Image
There is nothing more tragic than to come to the end of life and know we have been on the wrong course.
Watchman Nee
Image
To walk after the spirit a believer must inhibit his mind from revolving endlessly. If it turns too long around one topic, worries or grieves too much over matters, and ponders too intensively to know God's will, it may become unbearable and hamper its normal operation. The mind needs to be kept in a steady and secure state.

Image
The Christian life from start to finish is based upon this principle of utter dependence upon the Lord Jesus.
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 cross grants us position, the Holy Spirit gives us experience.
Watchman Nee
Image
Man's thought is always of the punishment that will come to him if he sins. But God's thought is always of the glory man will miss if he sins. God's purpose for redemption is glory, glory, glory.
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
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
Do not be impatient for impatience is of the flesh. Do not try different methods because they are useful solely in helping the flesh. We must distrust the flesh entirely.
Watchman Nee
Image
If one's conscience is willing to confess whatever sins have been committed, including the sin of unbelief, it will be sorrowful in a godly way, earnestly desiring the mercy of God.
Watchman Nee
Image
Only as they cease to seek anything by themselves and only as they take the position of the teachable shall they be taught by the Spirit truth which they are able to digest.
Watchman Nee
Image
Actually, only God can satisfy a Christian's heart man cannot.
Watchman Nee
Image
Overcoming sin, blessed though it surely is, is but the bare minimum of a believers experience. There is nothing astonishing in it. Not to overcome sin is what ought to astonish us.
Watchman Nee
Image
The child of God ought to confess his weakness that he does not know how to pray, and petition the Holy Spirit to teach him.
