More quotes by Watchman Nee

Image
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
Image
Long-lasting victory can never be separated from a long-lasting stand on the foundation of the cross.
Watchman Nee
Image
Without this heart attitude it is exceedingly difficult for us to accept the circumcision of the flesh. Every affection, desire, thought, knowledge, intent, worship, and work of the flesh must go to the cross.
Watchman Nee
Image
He who is able to accept everything gladly from the Lord - including darkness, dryness, flatness - and completely disregard self is he who lives for Him.
Watchman Nee

True revelation of the fact of the Spirit's indwelling will revolutionize the life of any Christian.
Watchman Nee
Image
If you perform your part, God will fulfill His. And once you put off specifically, you should just as thoroughly believe that God will renew your mind, despite the fact you know not how.
Watchman Nee
Image
We must have a spirit of power towards the enemy, a spirit of love towards men, and a spirit of self-control towards ourselves.
Watchman Nee
Image
All we have-ourselves-to Him, and if that be all, that is enough.
Watchman Nee
Image
To walk after the spirit a believer must inhibit his mind from revolving endlessly. If it turns too long around one topic, worries or grieves too much over matters, and ponders too intensively to know God's will, it may become unbearable and hamper its normal operation. The mind needs to be kept in a steady and secure state.
Watchman Nee
Image
Frequently the enemy entices Christians to harbor an unforgiving spirit - a very common symptom indeed among God's children. Such bitterness and fault-finding and enmity inflict a severe blow upon spiritual life.
Watchman Nee
Image
Oh, Lord, you have indeed been gracious to me.
Watchman Nee
Image
The Christian life from start to finish is based upon this principle of utter dependence upon the Lord Jesus.
Watchman Nee
Image
We may be weak, but looking at our weakness will never make us strong.
Watchman Nee
Image
Believers must persevere in prayer that they may see clearly their own pitiful state and understand the indwelling, working, and demands of the Holy Spirit.
Watchman Nee
Image
Overcoming sin, blessed though it surely is, is but the bare minimum of a believers experience. There is nothing astonishing in it. Not to overcome sin is what ought to astonish us.
