More quotes by 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
The life of faith is not only totally different from, but also diametrically opposite to, a life of feeling.
Watchman Nee
Image
It is a fact that the Lord Jesus has already died for you. It is also a fact that you have already died with the Lord Jesus. If you do not believe in your death with Christ, you will not be able to receive the effectiveness of death with Him - freedom from sin.
Watchman Nee
Image
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
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
Spiritual advancement is measured by faithful obedience.
Watchman Nee
Image
A mistaken thought may be corrected easily, but an errant affection is nearly unmanageable.
Watchman Nee
Image
If you perform your part, God will fulfill His. And once you put off specifically, you should just as thoroughly believe that God will renew your mind, despite the fact you know not how.
Watchman Nee
Image
Frequently the burden or concern in the spirit is for prayer.
Watchman Nee
Image
The cross grants us position, the Holy Spirit gives us experience.
Watchman Nee
Image
Why do so many Christians pray such tiny prayers when their God is so big?
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
Prayer is the acid test of the inner man's strength. A strong spirit is capable of praying much and praying with all perseverance until the answer comes. A weak one grows weary and fainthearted in the maintenance of praying.
Watchman Nee
Image
If we just had more revelation of what we already have, there would be far less prayers and far more praise.
Watchman Nee
Image
I want nothing for myself I want everything for the Lord.
Watchman Nee
Image
Actually, only God can satisfy a Christian's heart man cannot.
Watchman Nee
Image
Natural strength is what we receive from the hand of God as Creator. Spiritual strength is what we receive from God in grace.
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
Just as the right relationship with Christ generates a Christian, so the proper relationship with the Holy Spirit breeds a spiritual man.
Watchman Nee
Image
With complete consecration comes perfect peace.
