Image
I want nothing for myself I want everything for the Lord.
Watchman Nee
Image
Our rest lies in looking to the Lord, not to ourselves.
Watchman Nee
Image
Our prayers lay the track down which God's power can come.
Watchman Nee
Image
A spiritual Christian should welcome any burden which the Lord brings his way.
Watchman Nee
Image
It is highly dangerous to receive the truths of the Bible with human wisdom, for this is a hidden and subtle method which invariably causes a believer to perfect with his flesh the work of the Holy Spirit.
Watchman Nee
Image
Henceforth we are dead to everything pertaining to ourselves and alive to His Spirit alone. This requires our exercising faith.
Watchman Nee
Image
Therefore, brethren, pray until God gives us revelation so that knowing this in our spirit we may truly confess that our old man has been crucified with him.
Watchman Nee
Image
Every true work is not done to the poor. Every true work is done to Me.
Watchman Nee
Image
If we just had more revelation of what we already have, there would be far less prayers and far more praise.
Watchman Nee
Image
If one's conscience is willing to confess whatever sins have been committed, including the sin of unbelief, it will be sorrowful in a godly way, earnestly desiring the mercy of God.
Watchman Nee
Image
Baptism is faith in action.
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
God is not seeking a display of my Christ-likeness , but a manifestation of His Christ.
Watchman Nee
Image
Our old history ends with the Cross our new history begins with the resurrection.
Watchman Nee
Image
The Christian experience, from start to finish, is a journey of faith.
Watchman Nee
Image
We may be forced to consume considerable time before the spirit cooperates. For example, God would like to enlarge the scope of our prayer to include the nations in order to defeat all the behind-the-scene works of Satan. Or He may want us to intercede for all sinners worldwide for the entire church.
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
God will answer all our questions in one way and one way only. Namely, by showing us more of his Son.
