Quote

God will not give me humility, or patience, or holiness, or love as separate investments of His grace. He has given only one gift to meet our need, His Son Christ Jesus.

We work because we have not seen the work of Christ.
Watchman Nee
Image
Good is not always God's will, but God's will is always good.
Watchman Nee
Image
Were our spirits hardy we would be able to meet the most disturbing situation with peace and rest.
Watchman Nee
Image
The fruit of the Spirit is . . . self-control
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
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
When the fruit of your service is out of all proportion to the gifts you possess, THAT is Blessing!
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
All satanic works are performed from the outside inward all divine works from the inside outward.
Watchman Nee
Image
The burden imparted by God is lifted once we have prayed, but the heaviness from the enemy cannot be raised unless we fight and resist in prayer.
Watchman Nee
Image
True spiritual life depends not on probing our feelings and thoughts from dawn to dusk but on 'looking off' to the Savior!
Watchman Nee
Image
In order for the inner man to be strengthened with power through the Holy Spirit, the children of God must discharge their responsibility. They need to yield specifically to the Lord, forsake every doubtful aspect in their life, be willing to obey fully God's will, and believe through prayer that He will flood their spirit with His power.
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
To secure one's freedom the Christian must experience God's light which is God's truth.
Watchman Nee
Image
Baptism is an outward expression of an inward faith.
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
The right attitude is this: that I have my own will, yet I will the will of God.
Watchman Nee
Image
Do we not realize that the basic condition for a spiritual walk is to fear our self and its wisdom and to rely absolutely upon the Spirit?
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
Faith in Christ makes one a regenerated believer obedience to the Holy Spirit makes him a spiritual believer.
