More quotes by Watchman Nee

Image
So we can say, reverently, that God never gave us the Law to keep: he gave us the Law to break! He well knew that we could not keep it.
Watchman Nee
Image
Long-lasting victory can never be separated from a long-lasting stand on the foundation of the cross.
Watchman Nee
Image
Lord, I am willing to break my heart in order that I may satisfy Thy heart!
Watchman Nee
Image
Eternal life means more than mere future blessing to be enjoyed by believers it is equally a kind of spiritual ability.
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
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.
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
Henceforth we are dead to everything pertaining to ourselves and alive to His Spirit alone. This requires our exercising faith.
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
All knowledge is the outgrowth of obedience everything else is just information.
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
A spiritual Christian should welcome any burden which the Lord brings his way.
Watchman Nee
Image
Our rest lies in looking to the Lord, not to ourselves.
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
A spiritual Christian therefore is one whose spirit is led by God's Spirit... Perhaps their speech does convey truth, but without the quickening of the Holy Spirit even truth is of small advantage.
Watchman Nee
Image
Faith in Christ makes one a regenerated believer obedience to the Holy Spirit makes him a spiritual believer.
Watchman Nee
Image
Baptism is an outward expression of an inward faith.
Watchman Nee
Image
The Christian faith begins not with a big DO but with a big DONE.
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
Because the Lord Jesus died on the Cross, I have received forgiveness of sins because the Lord Jesus rose from the dead, I have received new life because the Lord Jesus has been exalted to the right hand of the Father, I have received the outpoured Spirit. All is because of Him nothing is because of me.
