More quotes by Watchman Nee
Everyone who believes in God must have His revelation in his spirit, or else what he believes is not God but mere human wisdom, ideals or words. Such faith cannot endure the test.
Watchman Nee
True spiritual life depends not on probing our feelings and thoughts from dawn to dusk but on 'looking off' to the Savior!
Watchman Nee
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.
Watchman Nee
With complete consecration comes perfect peace.
Watchman Nee
A person who wholly follows the Lord is one who believes that the promises of God are trustworthy, that He is with His people, and that they are well able to overcome.
Watchman Nee
The child of God should not be overanxious to make new gains what he essentially requires is to keep what he already has, for not losing is itself a gain. The way to retain what he possesses is to engage it.
Watchman Nee
The right attitude is this: that I have my own will, yet I will the will of God.
Watchman Nee
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
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
At times it seems we require more grace to lose our wealth than to lose our life!
Watchman Nee
It is a fact that God wants to destroy every work of our flesh, but He never desires to destroy our personality. He takes no pleasure in transforming us into automata rather He delights in having us cooperate with Him.
Watchman Nee
We work because we have not seen the work of Christ.
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
Towards himself a Christian should have a broken spirit, but towards God it should be one of rejoicing always in Him. He rejoices not for its own sake nor because of any joyful experience, work, blessing or circumstance, but exclusively because God is his center.
Watchman Nee
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
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
As God's child advances spiritually be shall discover that the Lord's time is as important as the Lord's will. Do not rashly beget an Ishmael lest he become the greatest enemy to Isaac.
Watchman Nee
I must first have the sense of God's possession of me before I can have the sense of His presence with me.
Watchman Nee
Every true work is not done to the poor. Every true work is done to Me.
Watchman Nee
Why do so many Christians pray such tiny prayers when their God is so big?
