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.

More quotes by Watchman Nee
God is not seeking a display of my Christ-likeness , but a manifestation of His Christ.
Watchman Nee
By the time the average Christian gets his temperature up to normal, everybody thinks he has a fever!
Watchman Nee
Genuine spiritual knowledge lies not in wonderful and mysterious thoughts but in actual spiritual experience through union of the believer's life with truth.
Watchman Nee
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
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
None who are shod with fleshly shoes can stand on the holy ground of God's service. Many failures and much waste and confusion which have resulted are due to men's coming to work, instead of being sent out to work.
Watchman Nee
A characteristic of the flesh is its fickleness: it alternates between Yes and No and vice versa. But the will of God is: Walk not according to the flesh (not even for a moment) but according to the Spirit.
Watchman Nee
Victory is the normal experience of a Christian defeat should be the abnormal experience.
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
A spiritual Christian therefore is one whose spirit is led by God's Spirit... Perhaps their speech does convey truth, but without the quickening of the Holy Spirit even truth is of small advantage.
Watchman Nee
Not until we take the place of a servant can He take His place as Lord.
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
To bear the cross means that you refrain from doing what you have the power to do. You are qualified to fulfill your desire, yet you refrain from doing so. A person like this is the strongest person. The strongest person is not the one who is able to do something, but the one who is able not to do what he has the power to do.
Watchman Nee
On at least four separate occasions and recorded in the four Gospels the Lord Jesus called His disciples to deny their soul life, deliver it to death, and then to follow Him.
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
God not only wants to break the outer man...He wants our spirit and our soul...our inner man and outer man to be separated from each other.
Watchman Nee
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.
Watchman Nee
We must not pay attention just to reading and studying rather, we should ask if we are open before the Lord. If we do not have an unveiled face, the glory of the Lord will not shine on us. If our heart is not open to God, God cannot give us any light.
Watchman Nee
Oh, Lord, you have indeed been gracious to me.
Watchman Nee
The book of Acts is the best aid in approaching our work. We do not find there anyone consecrating himself as a preacher nor anyone deciding to do the Lord's work by making himself a missionary or a pastor. What we do see is the Holy Spirit Himself appointing and sending men out to do the work.
