It is a fact that God wants to destroy every work of our flesh, but He never desires to destroy our personality. He takes no pleasure in transforming us into automata rather He delights in having us cooperate with Him.
Watchman Nee
Image
If we verily bear the cross we shall be neither controlled nor influenced by soulical affection but shall be fit to love in the power of the Holy Spirit. Even so did the Lord Jesus love His family while on earth.

Watchman Nee
Image
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.

Baptism is an outward expression of an inward faith.
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
Image
They spend more time in analyzing, in collecting materials, and in hard thinking than on prayer, on seeking God's mind, and on waiting for the power from above.
Watchman Nee
Image
May we always be possessed by the consciousness that we are not our own.
Watchman Nee
Image
Knowing the truth concerning the deep workings of the evil spirit helps the individual not only to overcome sins but to eliminate unnecessary afflictions as well.
Watchman Nee
Image
When the fruit of your service is out of all proportion to the gifts you possess, THAT is Blessing!
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
How true it is that without the guidance of the Holy Spirit intellect not only is undependable but also extremely dangerous, because it often confuses the issue of right and wrong.
