More quotes by Watchman Nee
Take this as the secret of Christ's life in you: His Spirit dwells in your innermost spirit. Meditate on it, believe in it, and remember it until this glorious truth produces within you a holy fear and wonderment that the Holy Spirit indeed abides in you.
Watchman Nee
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
Our bread is not only the Word of God, our meat is not only to do His will, our bread is also...the difficulties that are in our way.
Watchman Nee
There is nothing more tragic than to come to the end of life and know we have been on the wrong course.
Watchman Nee
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
The particular sin of omission which gives ground to the evil spirits is the believer’s passivity.
Watchman Nee
If Christ lives in us, we will rejoice in everything, and we will thank and praise the Lord. We will say, 'Hallelujah! Praise the Lord' forever.
Watchman Nee
The Christian faith begins not with a big DO but with a big DONE.
Watchman Nee
To secure one's freedom the Christian must experience God's light which is God's truth.
Watchman Nee
Do we not realize that the basic condition for a spiritual walk is to fear our self and its wisdom and to rely absolutely upon the Spirit?
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
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
Henceforth we are dead to everything pertaining to ourselves and alive to His Spirit alone. This requires our exercising faith.
Watchman Nee
Eternal life means more than mere future blessing to be enjoyed by believers it is equally a kind of spiritual ability.
Watchman Nee
Towards himself a Christian should have a broken spirit, but towards God it should be one of rejoicing always in Him. He rejoices not for its own sake nor because of any joyful experience, work, blessing or circumstance, but exclusively because God is his center.
Watchman Nee
An unpeaceful mind cannot operate normally.
Watchman Nee
A born-again person ought to possess unspeakable peace in the spirit.
Watchman Nee
God asks for men who are totally broken and who will follow Him even to death to work for Him.
Watchman Nee
Only as they cease to seek anything by themselves and only as they take the position of the teachable shall they be taught by the Spirit truth which they are able to digest.
Watchman Nee
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.
