More quotes by Watchman Nee

Image
Separation to God, separation from the world, is the first principle of Christian living.
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.
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
A Christian life is an unending engagement on the battlefield.
Watchman Nee
Image
The particular sin of omission which gives ground to the evil spirits is the believer’s passivity.
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
To secure one's freedom the Christian must experience God's light which is God's truth.
Watchman Nee

Most soulish believers assume an attitude of self-righteousness, though often it is scarcely detectable. They hold tenaciously to their minute opinions we ought to lay aside the small differences and pursue the common objective.
Watchman Nee
Image
Faith in Christ makes one a regenerated believer obedience to the Holy Spirit makes him a spiritual believer.
Watchman Nee
Image
Frequently the enemy entices Christians to harbor an unforgiving spirit - a very common symptom indeed among God's children. Such bitterness and fault-finding and enmity inflict a severe blow upon spiritual life.
Watchman Nee
Image
He who is able to accept everything gladly from the Lord - including darkness, dryness, flatness - and completely disregard self is he who lives for Him.
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
It is highly dangerous to receive the truths of the Bible with human wisdom, for this is a hidden and subtle method which invariably causes a believer to perfect with his flesh the work of the Holy Spirit.
Watchman Nee
Image
And it is through conflict that God induces the believer to seek and to grasp total triumph in Christ.
Watchman Nee
Image
Our bread is not only the Word of God, our meat is not only to do His will, our bread is also...the difficulties that are in our way.
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
Our old history ends with the Cross our new history begins with the resurrection.
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
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
An affection which is not inspired by the Lord will soon be transformed into lust. Samson is not alone in the history of man in failing in this regard. Delilah is still cutting the hair of man today!
