More quotes by Watchman Nee
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
The author tells a story wherein a missionary friend of his was invited by unbelievers on a train ride to play cards. The friend declined, saying that he did not bring his hands with him. He explained to the astonished group that the hands attached to what they saw as his body belonged to the Lord, and he was thereby able to explain the Gospel.
Watchman Nee
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
We may infer from any defeat of ours that it is due either to lack of faith or failure to obey. No other reason can suffice.
Watchman Nee
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!
Watchman Nee
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
The cross grants us position, the Holy Spirit gives us experience.
Watchman Nee
A person who wholly follows the Lord is one who believes that the promises of God are trustworthy, that He is with His people, and that they are well able to overcome.
Watchman Nee
We work because we have not seen the work of Christ.
Watchman Nee
People who are lazy, careless, doubtful-minded or arrogant need not expect God to reveal His secret or covenant to them.
Watchman Nee
God will not give me humility, or patience, or holiness, or love as separate investments of His grace. He has given only one gift to meet our need, His Son Christ Jesus.
Watchman Nee
When the fruit of your service is out of all proportion to the gifts you possess, THAT is Blessing!
Watchman Nee
A drowning man cannot be saved until he is utterly exhausted and ceases to make the slightest effort to save himself.
Watchman Nee
The Christian life from start to finish is based upon this principle of utter dependence upon the Lord Jesus.
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
The idea of waste only comes into our Christianity when we underestimate the worth of our Lord.
Watchman Nee
The Blood deals with what we have done, whereas the Cross deals with what we are. The Blood disposes of our sins, while the Cross strikes at the root of our capacity for sin.
Watchman Nee
If whatever men know comes through their brain without the Holy Spirit regenerating their spirit, then their knowledge will help them not one whit. If their belief rests in man's wisdom and not in God's power, they are merely excited in their soul.
Watchman Nee
God is not seeking a display of my Christ-likeness , but a manifestation of His Christ.
Watchman Nee
Prayer is work. The experiences of many children of God demonstrate that it accomplishes far more than does any other form of work. It is also warfare, for it is one of the weapons in fighting the enemy. However, only prayer in the spirit is genuinely effectual.
