More quotes by Watchman Nee

Image
Baptism is an outward expression of an inward faith.
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
Natural strength is what we receive from the hand of God as Creator. Spiritual strength is what we receive from God in grace.
Watchman Nee
Image
The child of God ought to confess his weakness that he does not know how to pray, and petition the Holy Spirit to teach him.
Watchman Nee
Image
Do not grow overconfident following a few victories. Should you not rely upon the Holy Spirit you will soon be thrown once more into a distressing experience. With holy diligence you must cultivate an attitude of dependency.
Watchman Nee
Image
If the mind is open the individual will soon perceive the preciousness of a truth which initially appeared rather dull to him but now is illumined by the spirit's light.
Watchman Nee
Image
We may be forced to consume considerable time before the spirit cooperates. For example, God would like to enlarge the scope of our prayer to include the nations in order to defeat all the behind-the-scene works of Satan. Or He may want us to intercede for all sinners worldwide for the entire church.
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
A Christian life is an unending engagement on the battlefield.
Watchman Nee
Image
All we have-ourselves-to Him, and if that be all, that is enough.
Watchman Nee
Image
If one's conscience is willing to confess whatever sins have been committed, including the sin of unbelief, it will be sorrowful in a godly way, earnestly desiring the mercy of God.
Watchman Nee
Image
With complete consecration comes perfect peace.
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
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
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
Our prayers lay the track down which God's power can come.
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
The particular sin of omission which gives ground to the evil spirits is the believer’s passivity.
Watchman Nee
Image
The Christian faith begins not with a big DO but with a big DONE.
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.
