More quotes by Watchman Nee
The right attitude is this: that I have my own will, yet I will the will of God.
Watchman Nee
To keep our hand on the plow while wiping away our tears -- THAT is Christianity!
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
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
Now is the hour we should humbly prostrate ourselves before God, willing to be convicted afresh of our sins by the Holy Spirit.
Watchman Nee
To bear the cross means that you refrain from doing what you have the power to do. You are qualified to fulfill your desire, yet you refrain from doing so. A person like this is the strongest person. The strongest person is not the one who is able to do something, but the one who is able not to do what he has the power to do.
Watchman Nee
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.
Watchman Nee
Not until we take the place of a servant can He take His place as Lord.
Watchman Nee
The gospel we preach must not be just something we hear from men or read from books or even conceived through our meditation. Unless it is delivered to us by God, it can serve no spiritual utility.
Watchman Nee
We work because we have not seen the work of Christ.
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
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
Genuine spiritual knowledge lies not in wonderful and mysterious thoughts but in actual spiritual experience through union of the believer's life with truth.
Watchman Nee
Our prayers lay the track down which God's power can come.
Watchman Nee
Do not be impatient for impatience is of the flesh. Do not try different methods because they are useful solely in helping the flesh. We must distrust the flesh entirely.
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
Good is not always God's will, but God's will is always good.
Watchman Nee
God has supplied all my needs and has not failed me once.
Watchman Nee
True revelation of the fact of the Spirit's indwelling will revolutionize the life of any Christian.
Watchman Nee
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
