Long-lasting victory can never be separated from a long-lasting stand on the foundation of the cross.
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
Many confuse understanding with believing.
Watchman Nee
Image
If Christ lives in us, we will rejoice in everything, and we will thank and praise the Lord. We will say, 'Hallelujah! Praise the Lord' forever.
Watchman Nee
Image
The clerical system of church management is exceedingly popular, but the whole thought is foreign to Scripture.
Watchman Nee
Image
I want nothing for myself I want everything for the Lord.
Watchman Nee

Teach us to pray that we may cause The enemy to flee, That we his evil power may bind, His prisoners to free.
Watchman Nee

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
The 'flesh' is too bad to be cleansed it must be crucified.
Watchman Nee
Image
Nowadays Christians appear to treat prayer as a means to accomplish their aims and ideas. If they possessed just a little deeper understanding, they would recognize that prayer is but man uttering to God what is God's will.
Watchman Nee
Image
A spiritual Christian should welcome any burden which the Lord brings his way.
Watchman Nee
Image
It is a fact that the Lord Jesus has already died for you. It is also a fact that you have already died with the Lord Jesus. If you do not believe in your death with Christ, you will not be able to receive the effectiveness of death with Him - freedom from sin.
Watchman Nee
Image
We must have a spirit of power towards the enemy, a spirit of love towards men, and a spirit of self-control towards ourselves.
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
We should try our best to pour out all the burdens in our spirit by prayer until all of them have left us.
Watchman Nee
Image
The Christian life from start to finish is based upon this principle of utter dependence upon the Lord Jesus.
Watchman Nee
Image
Eternal life means more than mere future blessing to be enjoyed by believers it is equally a kind of spiritual ability.
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
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
Image
Everyone who believes in God must have His revelation in his spirit, or else what he believes is not God but mere human wisdom, ideals or words. Such faith cannot endure the test.
