All satanic works are performed from the outside inward all divine works from the inside outward.
Watchman Nee
Image
May we always be possessed by the consciousness that we are not our own.
Watchman Nee
Image
We may be forced to consume considerable time before the spirit cooperates. For example, God would like to enlarge the scope of our prayer to include the nations in order to defeat all the behind-the-scene works of Satan. Or He may want us to intercede for all sinners worldwide for the entire church.

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
It is important to receive God's arrangement in the circumstances. This arrangement is the discipline of the Holy Spirit. To escape God's arrangement just one time is to lose an opportunity to have our capacity enlarged. A believer can never be the same after passing through suffering.
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
The 'flesh' is too bad to be cleansed it must be crucified.
Watchman Nee
Image
May the things of this world so lose their power over us that we do not in the slightest wish to be 'worldly' nay, we even delight in not remaining 'in the world.'
Watchman Nee
Image
Our rest lies in looking to the Lord, not to ourselves.
Watchman Nee
Image
The right attitude is this: that I have my own will, yet I will the will of God.
Watchman Nee
Image
Baptism is faith in action.
Watchman Nee
Image
People who are lazy, careless, doubtful-minded or arrogant need not expect God to reveal His secret or covenant to them.
Watchman Nee
Image
Irrespective of how we physiologically are made, even possessing special weaknesses, we can overcome our sins through the Lord.
