Quote

For God to reveal His Son in us is not the result of research or searching it is entirely a matter of mercy and revelation. It is an inward seeing, an inner knowing.

More quotes by Watchman Nee

Image
We should try our best to pour out all the burdens in our spirit by prayer until all of them have left us.
Watchman Nee
Image
Often Satan injects pride into the believer's spirit, evoking in him an attitude of self-importance and of self-conceit. He causes him to esteem himself a very outstanding person, one who is indispensable in God's work. Such a spirit constitutes one of the major reasons for the fall of believers.
Watchman Nee
Image
God will answer all our questions in one way and one way only. Namely, by showing us more of his Son.
Watchman Nee
Image
And it is through conflict that God induces the believer to seek and to grasp total triumph in Christ.
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
An unpeaceful mind cannot operate normally.
Watchman Nee
Image
Many confuse understanding with believing.
Watchman Nee
Image
The Christian faith begins not with a big DO but with a big DONE.
Watchman Nee
Image
The gospel we preach must not be just something we hear from men or read from books or even conceived through our meditation. Unless it is delivered to us by God, it can serve no spiritual utility.
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
The cares of this life emerge as very small items indeed along our daily path.
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
All we have-ourselves-to Him, and if that be all, that is enough.
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
If you would test the character of anything, you only need to enquire whether that thing leads you to God or away from God.
Watchman Nee
Image
May the things of this world so lose their power over us that we do not in the slightest wish to be 'worldly' nay, we even delight in not remaining 'in the world.'
Watchman Nee
Image
Because the Lord Jesus died on the Cross, I have received forgiveness of sins because the Lord Jesus rose from the dead, I have received new life because the Lord Jesus has been exalted to the right hand of the Father, I have received the outpoured Spirit. All is because of Him nothing is because of me.
Watchman Nee
Image
The child of God should not be overanxious to make new gains what he essentially requires is to keep what he already has, for not losing is itself a gain. The way to retain what he possesses is to engage it.
Watchman Nee
Image
The greatest negative in the universe is the Cross, for with it God wiped out everything that was not of Himself: the greatest positive in the universe is the resurrection, for through it God brought into being all.
Watchman Nee

Whatever the mind sets itself on is what the man walks after.
