More quotes by Watchman Nee
Henceforth we are dead to everything pertaining to ourselves and alive to His Spirit alone. This requires our exercising faith.
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
The burden imparted by God is lifted once we have prayed, but the heaviness from the enemy cannot be raised unless we fight and resist in prayer.
Watchman Nee
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
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
Never adopt an attitude of indifference, for if you do you will suffer for it. The weight will grow heavier and heavier.
Watchman Nee
Grace means that God does something for me law means that I do something for God. God has certain holy and righteous demands which he places upon me: that is law. Now if law means that God requires something of me for their fulfillment, then deliverance from law means he no longer requires that from me, but himself provides it.
Watchman Nee
Faith in Christ makes one a regenerated believer obedience to the Holy Spirit makes him a spiritual believer.
Watchman Nee
Negligence in prayer withers the inner man. Nothing can be a substitute for it, not even Christian work. Many are so preoccupied with work that they allow little time for prayer. Hence they cannot cast out demons. Prayer enables us first inwardly to overcome the enemy and then outwardly to deal with him.
Watchman Nee
Christ is the Son of God. He died to atone for men's sin, and after three days rose again. This is the most important fact in the universe. I die believing in Christ.
Watchman Nee
Good is not always God's will, but God's will is always good.
Watchman Nee
May we always be possessed by the consciousness that we are not our own.
Watchman Nee
If whatever men know comes through their brain without the Holy Spirit regenerating their spirit, then their knowledge will help them not one whit. If their belief rests in man's wisdom and not in God's power, they are merely excited in their soul.
Watchman Nee
The clerical system of church management is exceedingly popular, but the whole thought is foreign to Scripture.
Watchman Nee
Just as the right relationship with Christ generates a Christian, so the proper relationship with the Holy Spirit breeds a spiritual man.
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
There is nothing more tragic than to come to the end of life and know we have been on the wrong course.
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
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
And it is through conflict that God induces the believer to seek and to grasp total triumph in Christ.
Watchman Nee
