Image
Whatever the mind sets itself on is what the man walks after.
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
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
Image
The attitude of saints toward their possessions most assuredly signifies whether they continue to preserve their self life or whether they have consigned it to death.
Watchman Nee
Image
Separation to God, separation from the world, is the first principle of Christian living.
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
God asks for men who are totally broken and who will follow Him even to death to work for Him.
Watchman Nee
Image
Furthermore, through the believer's spirit the Holy Spirit is able to impart God's life to thirsty and dying men. However, this filling of the Holy Spirit differs from the baptism with the Holy Spirit, because the latter is for the purpose of service while the former solves the problem of life (naturally it will affect service too).
Watchman Nee
Image
Outside Christ, I am empty in Christ, I am full.
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
To keep our hand on the plow while wiping away our tears -- THAT is Christianity!
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
May the things of this world so lose their power over us that we do not in the slightest wish to be 'worldly' nay, we even delight in not remaining 'in the world.'
Watchman Nee
Image
Actually, only God can satisfy a Christian's heart man cannot.
Watchman Nee
Image
The Christian faith begins not with a big DO but with a big DONE.
Watchman Nee
Image
Revelation is the first step to holiness, and consecration is the second. A day must come in our lives, as definite as the day of our conversion, when we give up all right to ourselves and submit to the absolute Lordship of Jesus Christ.
Watchman Nee
Image
The sight of any trouble strikes terror into the heart of those who do not have faith, but those who trust Him say, ‘Here comes my food.!
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
Mere mental assimilation of these truths cannot withstand temptation, however. The revelation of God is positively essential. The Spirit of God must reveal how we are in Christ and how we are united with Him in one.
Watchman Nee
Image
A characteristic of the flesh is its fickleness: it alternates between Yes and No and vice versa. But the will of God is: Walk not according to the flesh (not even for a moment) but according to the Spirit.
