More quotes by Watchman Nee
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.
Watchman Nee
And it is through conflict that God induces the believer to seek and to grasp total triumph in Christ.
Watchman Nee
The child of God ought to confess his weakness that he does not know how to pray, and petition the Holy Spirit to teach him.
Watchman Nee
If we verily bear the cross we shall be neither controlled nor influenced by soulical affection but shall be fit to love in the power of the Holy Spirit. Even so did the Lord Jesus love His family while on earth.
Watchman Nee
People who are lazy, careless, doubtful-minded or arrogant need not expect God to reveal His secret or covenant to them.
Watchman Nee
All satanic works are performed from the outside inward all divine works from the inside outward.
Watchman Nee
God will not give me humility, or patience, or holiness, or love as separate investments of His grace. He has given only one gift to meet our need, His Son Christ Jesus.
Watchman Nee
Whatever the mind sets itself on is what the man walks after.
Watchman Nee
Frequently what we say is rest is merely laziness. Our body requires respite and so does our mind and spirit. But a person should never rest because of a laziness which arises from the evil nature in his emotion. How often laziness and emotional distaste for work join to employ physical fatigue as a cover-up.
Watchman Nee
How dangerous a master human emotion is!
Watchman Nee
The idea of waste only comes into our Christianity when we underestimate the worth of our Lord.
Watchman Nee
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
Outside Christ, I am empty in Christ, I am full.
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
A spiritual Christian should welcome any burden which the Lord brings his way.
Watchman Nee
I must first have the sense of God's possession of me before I can have the sense of His presence with me.
Watchman Nee
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
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
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
Nowadays Christians appear to treat prayer as a means to accomplish their aims and ideas. If they possessed just a little deeper understanding, they would recognize that prayer is but man uttering to God what is God's will.
