More quotes by Watchman Nee

Image
Mere mental assimilation of these truths cannot withstand temptation, however. The revelation of God is positively essential. The Spirit of God must reveal how we are in Christ and how we are united with Him in one.
Watchman Nee
Image
We work because we have not seen the work of Christ.
Watchman Nee
Image
Only as they cease to seek anything by themselves and only as they take the position of the teachable shall they be taught by the Spirit truth which they are able to digest.
Watchman Nee
Image
With complete consecration comes perfect peace.
Watchman Nee
Image
We may be weak, but looking at our weakness will never make us strong.
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
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
At times it seems we require more grace to lose our wealth than to lose our life!
Watchman Nee
Image
For God to reveal His Son in us is not the result of research or searching it is entirely a matter of mercy and revelation. It is an inward seeing, an inner knowing.
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
It does not matter what your personal deficiency, or whether it be a hundred and one different things, God has always one sufficient answer, His Son Jesus Christ, and he is the answer to every need.
Watchman Nee
Image
A Christian life is an unending engagement on the battlefield.
Watchman Nee
Image
Outside Christ, I am empty in Christ, I am full.
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
The cares of this life emerge as very small items indeed along our daily path.
Watchman Nee
Image
Overcoming sin, blessed though it surely is, is but the bare minimum of a believers experience. There is nothing astonishing in it. Not to overcome sin is what ought to astonish us.
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
By the time the average Christian gets his temperature up to normal, everybody thinks he has a fever!
Watchman Nee
Image
Henceforth we are dead to everything pertaining to ourselves and alive to His Spirit alone. This requires our exercising faith.
Watchman Nee
Image
God aims first to renew man's darkened spirit by imparting life to it, because it is this spirit which God originally designed to receive His life and to commune with Him. God's intent after that is to work out from the spirit to permeate man's soul and body.
