Watchman Nee
Image
Actually, only God can satisfy a Christian's heart man cannot.
Watchman Nee
Image
A drowning man cannot be saved until he is utterly exhausted and ceases to make the slightest effort to save himself.
Watchman Nee
Image
God will answer all our questions in one way and one way only. Namely, by showing us more of his Son.
Watchman Nee
Image
Every true work is not done to the poor. Every true work is done to Me.
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
Good is not always God's will, but God's will is always good.
Watchman Nee
Image
Henceforth we are dead to everything pertaining to ourselves and alive to His Spirit alone. This requires our exercising faith.
Watchman Nee
Image
If we verily bear the cross we shall be neither controlled nor influenced by soulical affection but shall be fit to love in the power of the Holy Spirit. Even so did the Lord Jesus love His family while on earth.
Watchman Nee
Image
A born-again person ought to possess unspeakable peace in the spirit.
Watchman Nee
Image
If you would test the character of anything, you only need to enquire whether that thing leads you to God or away from God.
Watchman Nee
Image
Most soulish believers assume an attitude of self-righteousness, though often it is scarcely detectable. They hold tenaciously to their minute opinions we ought to lay aside the small differences and pursue the common objective.
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
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
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
It is highly dangerous to receive the truths of the Bible with human wisdom, for this is a hidden and subtle method which invariably causes a believer to perfect with his flesh the work of the Holy Spirit.
Watchman Nee
Image
The note of hallelujah must never be in short supply in the spirit of the believer.
Watchman Nee
Image
And it is through conflict that God induces the believer to seek and to grasp total triumph in Christ.
Watchman Nee
Image
It is important to receive God's arrangement in the circumstances. This arrangement is the discipline of the Holy Spirit. To escape God's arrangement just one time is to lose an opportunity to have our capacity enlarged. A believer can never be the same after passing through suffering.
