More quotes by Watchman Nee
May we always be possessed by the consciousness that we are not our own.
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.
Watchman Nee
Not by gain our life is measured, But by what we've lost 'Tis scored 'Tis not how much wine is drunken But how much has been outpoured. For the strength of love never standeth In the sacrifice we bear He who has the greatest suffering Ever has the most to share.
Watchman Nee
To keep our hand on the plow while wiping away our tears -- THAT is Christianity!
Watchman Nee
If the mind is open the individual will soon perceive the preciousness of a truth which initially appeared rather dull to him but now is illumined by the spirit's light.
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 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
God has supplied all my needs and has not failed me once.
Watchman Nee
True spiritual life depends not on probing our feelings and thoughts from dawn to dusk but on 'looking off' to the Savior!
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
An unpeaceful mind cannot operate normally.
Watchman Nee
A person who wholly follows the Lord is one who believes that the promises of God are trustworthy, that He is with His people, and that they are well able to overcome.
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
Why do so many Christians pray such tiny prayers when their God is so big?
Watchman Nee
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
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 Christian life from start to finish is based upon this principle of utter dependence upon the Lord Jesus.
Watchman Nee
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
From the evening I was saved, I began to live a new life, for the life of the eternal God had entered into me.
Watchman Nee
We should try our best to pour out all the burdens in our spirit by prayer until all of them have left us.
