More quotes by Watchman Nee
The Lord has shown me that I can do anything, but that He has said, apart from Me ye can do nothing. So it comes to this, that everything I have done, and can still do apart from Him is nothing!
Watchman Nee
Baptism is faith in action.
Watchman Nee
I must first have the sense of God's possession of me before I can have the sense of His presence with me.
Watchman Nee
I do not consecrate myself to be a missionary or a preacher. I consecrate myself to God to do His will where I am, be it in school, office, or kitchen, or wherever He may, in His wisdom, send me.
Watchman Nee
The child of God should not be overanxious to make new gains what he essentially requires is to keep what he already has, for not losing is itself a gain. The way to retain what he possesses is to engage it.
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 fruit of the Spirit is . . . self-control
Watchman Nee
All we have-ourselves-to Him, and if that be all, that is enough.
Watchman Nee
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
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
Every true work is not done to the poor. Every true work is done to Me.
Watchman Nee
Separation to God, separation from the world, is the first principle of Christian living.
Watchman Nee
Not until we take the place of a servant can He take His place as Lord.
Watchman Nee
All spiritual prayers have their source in God. God makes known to us what we ought to pray by unfolding to us the need and by giving that need as a burden in our intuitive spirit. Only an intuitive burden can constitute our call to pray.
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
Were our spirits hardy we would be able to meet the most disturbing situation with peace and rest.
Watchman Nee
We must not pay attention just to reading and studying rather, we should ask if we are open before the Lord. If we do not have an unveiled face, the glory of the Lord will not shine on us. If our heart is not open to God, God cannot give us any light.
Watchman Nee
How dangerous a master human emotion is!
Watchman Nee
Our old history ends with the Cross our new history begins with the resurrection.
Watchman Nee
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
