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
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
The life of faith is not only totally different from, but also diametrically opposite to, a life of feeling.
Watchman Nee
Image
May we always be possessed by the consciousness that we are not our own.
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
Never adopt an attitude of indifference, for if you do you will suffer for it. The weight will grow heavier and heavier.
Watchman Nee
Image
Lord, I am willing to break my heart in order that I may satisfy Thy heart!
Watchman Nee
Image
God has supplied all my needs and has not failed me once.
Watchman Nee
Image
The cares of this life emerge as very small items indeed along our daily path.
Watchman Nee
Image
Not until we take the place of a servant can He take His place as Lord.
Watchman Nee
Image
We may love to say many things, but if these are not uttered in the Holy Spirit it is better to say nothing. The flesh can conjure up many plans and methods and be full of expectations. The righteousness of the flesh is as abhorrent as its sin we must always maintain God's view of the flesh.
Watchman Nee
Image
The sight of any trouble strikes terror into the heart of those who do not have faith, but those who trust Him say, ‘Here comes my food.!
Watchman Nee
Image
God asks for men who are totally broken and who will follow Him even to death to work for Him.
Watchman Nee
Image
A born-again person ought to possess unspeakable peace in the spirit.
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.
Watchman Nee
Image
Satan can only attack us from the outside in. He may work through the lust and sensations of the body or through the mind and emotion of the soul, for those two belong to the outward man.
Watchman Nee
Image
The Spirit is both a builder and a dweller. He cannot dwell where he has not built He builds to dwell and dwells in only what he has built.
Watchman Nee
Image
A mistaken thought may be corrected easily, but an errant affection is nearly unmanageable.
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

One gains by losing self for others and not by hoarding for oneself.
