Teach us to pray that we may cause The enemy to flee, That we his evil power may bind, His prisoners to free.

More quotes by Watchman Nee
God will answer all our questions in one way and one way only. Namely, by showing us more of his Son.
Watchman Nee
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
Lord, I am willing to break my heart in order that I may satisfy Thy heart!
Watchman Nee
We should try our best to pour out all the burdens in our spirit by prayer until all of them have left us.
Watchman Nee
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
So we can say, reverently, that God never gave us the Law to keep: he gave us the Law to break! He well knew that we could not keep it.
Watchman Nee
You should accordingly exercise your mind to remember your friends, relatives, and fellow-workers to determine if they are in need. As you remember each one so shall you in turn intercede for them. If in interceding on their behalf your spirit remains cold and dry, then you know you are not to pray for them.
Watchman Nee
We may be forced to consume considerable time before the spirit cooperates. For example, God would like to enlarge the scope of our prayer to include the nations in order to defeat all the behind-the-scene works of Satan. Or He may want us to intercede for all sinners worldwide for the entire church.
Watchman Nee
A Christian ought to realize what the weights laid on his spirit are. If he encounters it in the morning and does not deal with it at once, he experiences defeat the whole day long.
Watchman Nee
Our old history ends with the Cross our new history begins with the resurrection.
Watchman Nee
Prayer is the acid test of the inner man's strength. A strong spirit is capable of praying much and praying with all perseverance until the answer comes. A weak one grows weary and fainthearted in the maintenance of praying.
Watchman Nee
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.
Watchman Nee
Every true work is not done to the poor. Every true work is done to Me.
Watchman Nee
Were our spirits hardy we would be able to meet the most disturbing situation with peace and rest.
Watchman Nee
Not by gain our life is measured, But by what we've lost 'Tis scored 'Tis not how much wine is drunken But how much has been outpoured. For the strength of love never standeth In the sacrifice we bear He who has the greatest suffering Ever has the most to share.
Watchman Nee
It is a fact that the Lord Jesus has already died for you. It is also a fact that you have already died with the Lord Jesus. If you do not believe in your death with Christ, you will not be able to receive the effectiveness of death with Him - freedom from sin.
Watchman Nee
Since this life is God's and cannot die, it follows that everyone born anew into possessing this life is said to have eternal life.
Watchman Nee
God asks for men who are totally broken and who will follow Him even to death to work for Him.
Watchman Nee
Good is not always God's will, but God's will is always good.
Watchman Nee
The greatest negative in the universe is the Cross, for with it God wiped out everything that was not of Himself: the greatest positive in the universe is the resurrection, for through it God brought into being all.
Watchman Nee
