Quote

I do not consecrate myself to be a missionary or a preacher. I consecrate myself to God to do His will where I am, be it in school, office, or kitchen, or wherever He may, in His wisdom, send me.

To secure one's freedom the Christian must experience God's light which is God's truth.
Watchman Nee
Image
Our bread is not only the Word of God, our meat is not only to do His will, our bread is also...the difficulties that are in our way.
Watchman Nee
Image
With fear and trembling we must rely upon God for guidance in the inner depths. This is the sole way to walk according to the spirit.
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.
Watchman Nee
Image
Nothing is wrong with the inlet: It is the outlet that is obstructed. The water of life does not spring forth because the flow has no way through. Were the outlet cleared, the water of life would flow unceasingly. What a child of God needs is not more life but more flow of life.
Watchman Nee
Image
Why do so many Christians pray such tiny prayers when their God is so big?
Watchman Nee
Image
All satanic works are performed from the outside inward all divine works from the inside outward.
Watchman Nee
Image
How true it is that without the guidance of the Holy Spirit intellect not only is undependable but also extremely dangerous, because it often confuses the issue of right and wrong.
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
Victory is the normal experience of a Christian defeat should be the abnormal experience.
Watchman Nee
Image
Irrespective of how we physiologically are made, even possessing special weaknesses, we can overcome our sins through the Lord.
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
The cares of this life emerge as very small items indeed along our daily path.
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
Frequently the enemy entices Christians to harbor an unforgiving spirit - a very common symptom indeed among God's children. Such bitterness and fault-finding and enmity inflict a severe blow upon spiritual life.
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
None who are shod with fleshly shoes can stand on the holy ground of God's service. Many failures and much waste and confusion which have resulted are due to men's coming to work, instead of being sent out to work.
Watchman Nee
Image
With complete consecration comes perfect peace.
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
Fellowship means among other things that we are ready to receive of Christ from others. Other believers minister Christ to me, and I am ready to receive.
