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.

More quotes by Watchman Nee
Our old history ends with the Cross our new history begins with the resurrection.
Watchman Nee
Furthermore, through the believer's spirit the Holy Spirit is able to impart God's life to thirsty and dying men. However, this filling of the Holy Spirit differs from the baptism with the Holy Spirit, because the latter is for the purpose of service while the former solves the problem of life (naturally it will affect service too).
Watchman Nee
Spiritual advancement is measured by faithful obedience.
Watchman Nee
Do not grow overconfident following a few victories. Should you not rely upon the Holy Spirit you will soon be thrown once more into a distressing experience. With holy diligence you must cultivate an attitude of dependency.
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
Frequently the burden or concern in the spirit is for prayer.
Watchman Nee
The burden imparted by God is lifted once we have prayed, but the heaviness from the enemy cannot be raised unless we fight and resist in prayer.
Watchman Nee
To remove warfare from a spiritual life is to render it unspiritual. Life in the spirit is a suffering way, filled with watching and laboring, burdened by weariness and trial, punctuated by heartbreak and conflict. It is a life utterly outpoured for the kingdom of God and lived in complete disregard for one's personal happiness.
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
In order for the inner man to be strengthened with power through the Holy Spirit, the children of God must discharge their responsibility. They need to yield specifically to the Lord, forsake every doubtful aspect in their life, be willing to obey fully God's will, and believe through prayer that He will flood their spirit with His power.
Watchman Nee
You should accordingly exercise your mind to remember your friends, relatives, and fellow-workers to determine if they are in need. As you remember each one so shall you in turn intercede for them. If in interceding on their behalf your spirit remains cold and dry, then you know you are not to pray for them.
Watchman Nee
To keep our hand on the plow while wiping away our tears -- THAT is Christianity!
Watchman Nee
A mistaken thought may be corrected easily, but an errant affection is nearly unmanageable.
Watchman Nee
Many confuse understanding with believing.
Watchman Nee
All knowledge is the outgrowth of obedience everything else is just information.
Watchman Nee
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
Teach us to pray that we may cause The enemy to flee, That we his evil power may bind, His prisoners to free.
Watchman Nee
Most soulish believers assume an attitude of self-righteousness, though often it is scarcely detectable. They hold tenaciously to their minute opinions we ought to lay aside the small differences and pursue the common objective.
Watchman Nee
Victory is the normal experience of a Christian defeat should be the abnormal experience.
Watchman Nee
A Christian life is an unending engagement on the battlefield.
Watchman Nee
