More quotes by Watchman Nee

Revelation is the first step to holiness, and consecration is the second. A day must come in our lives, as definite as the day of our conversion, when we give up all right to ourselves and submit to the absolute Lordship of Jesus Christ.
Watchman Nee
Image
The Christian experience, from start to finish, is a journey of faith.
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
With fear and trembling we must rely upon God for guidance in the inner depths. This is the sole way to walk according to the spirit.
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

I want nothing for myself I want everything for the Lord.
Watchman Nee
Image
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
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
Natural strength is what we receive from the hand of God as Creator. Spiritual strength is what we receive from God in grace.
Watchman Nee
Image
Lord, I am willing to break my heart in order that I may satisfy Thy heart!
Watchman Nee
Image
I do not consecrate myself to be a missionary or a preacher. I consecrate myself to God to do His will where I am, be it in school, office, or kitchen, or wherever He may, in His wisdom, send 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
Baptism is an outward expression of an inward faith.
Watchman Nee
Image
Since this life is God's and cannot die, it follows that everyone born anew into possessing this life is said to have eternal life.
Watchman Nee
Image
There is nothing more tragic than to come to the end of life and know we have been on the wrong course.
