More quotes by Watchman Nee
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
Therefore, brethren, pray until God gives us revelation so that knowing this in our spirit we may truly confess that our old man has been crucified with him.
Watchman Nee
A born-again person ought to possess unspeakable peace in the spirit.
Watchman Nee
The attitude of saints toward their possessions most assuredly signifies whether they continue to preserve their self life or whether they have consigned it to death.
Watchman Nee
Grace means that God does something for me law means that I do something for God. God has certain holy and righteous demands which he places upon me: that is law. Now if law means that God requires something of me for their fulfillment, then deliverance from law means he no longer requires that from me, but himself provides it.
Watchman Nee
All spiritual prayers have their source in God. God makes known to us what we ought to pray by unfolding to us the need and by giving that need as a burden in our intuitive spirit. Only an intuitive burden can constitute our call to pray.
Watchman Nee
From the evening I was saved, I began to live a new life, for the life of the eternal God had entered into me.
Watchman Nee
To remove warfare from a spiritual life is to render it unspiritual. Life in the spirit is a suffering way, filled with watching and laboring, burdened by weariness and trial, punctuated by heartbreak and conflict. It is a life utterly outpoured for the kingdom of God and lived in complete disregard for one's personal happiness.
Watchman Nee
We may be weak, but looking at our weakness will never make us strong.
Watchman Nee
God asks for men who are totally broken and who will follow Him even to death to work for Him.
Watchman Nee
The cares of this life emerge as very small items indeed along our daily path.
Watchman Nee
Were our spirits hardy we would be able to meet the most disturbing situation with peace and rest.
Watchman Nee
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
The book of Acts is the best aid in approaching our work. We do not find there anyone consecrating himself as a preacher nor anyone deciding to do the Lord's work by making himself a missionary or a pastor. What we do see is the Holy Spirit Himself appointing and sending men out to do the work.
Watchman Nee
Without this heart attitude it is exceedingly difficult for us to accept the circumcision of the flesh. Every affection, desire, thought, knowledge, intent, worship, and work of the flesh must go to the cross.
Watchman Nee
It is not only the proclamation of the whole truth that is needed today it is the release of the spiritual reality which the truth expresses, and that can only be realized as we allow ourselves to be caught into the mighty on-flowing tide of the Spirit.
Watchman Nee
Since this life is God's and cannot die, it follows that everyone born anew into possessing this life is said to have eternal life.
Watchman Nee
Our prayers lay the track down which Gods power can come. Like a mighty locomotive, his power is irresistible, but it cannot reach us without rails.
Watchman Nee
To secure one's freedom the Christian must experience God's light which is God's truth.
Watchman Nee
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
