Just as the right relationship with Christ generates a Christian, so the proper relationship with the Holy Spirit breeds a spiritual man.
Watchman Nee
Image
The Lord has shown me that I can do anything, but that He has said, apart from Me ye can do nothing. So it comes to this, that everything I have done, and can still do apart from Him is nothing!
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
Actually, only God can satisfy a Christian's heart man cannot.
Watchman Nee
Image
A spiritual Christian should welcome any burden which the Lord brings his way.
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
Every true work is not done to the poor. Every true work is done to Me.
Watchman Nee
Image
The cross grants us position, the Holy Spirit gives us experience.
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
If you perform your part, God will fulfill His. And once you put off specifically, you should just as thoroughly believe that God will renew your mind, despite the fact you know not how.
Watchman Nee
Image
The devil abhors light and truth because these remove the ground of his working.
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
The life of faith is not only totally different from, but also diametrically opposite to, a life of feeling.
Watchman Nee
Image
The idea of waste only comes into our Christianity when we underestimate the worth of our Lord.
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
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
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
We should not open our mouths too hastily upon approaching God. On the contrary, we first must ask God to show us what and how to pray before we make our request known to Him. Have we not consumed a great deal of time in the past asking for what we wanted? Why not now ask for what God wants?
Watchman Nee
Image
From the evening I was saved, I began to live a new life, for the life of the eternal God had entered into me.
Watchman Nee
Image
Never adopt an attitude of indifference, for if you do you will suffer for it. The weight will grow heavier and heavier.
