A spiritual Christian therefore is one whose spirit is led by God's Spirit... Perhaps their speech does convey truth, but without the quickening of the Holy Spirit even truth is of small advantage.

More quotes by Watchman Nee
A born-again person ought to possess unspeakable peace in the spirit.
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
The author tells a story wherein a missionary friend of his was invited by unbelievers on a train ride to play cards. The friend declined, saying that he did not bring his hands with him. He explained to the astonished group that the hands attached to what they saw as his body belonged to the Lord, and he was thereby able to explain the Gospel.
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
By the time the average Christian gets his temperature up to normal, everybody thinks he has a fever!
Watchman Nee
Our bread is not only the Word of God, our meat is not only to do His will, our bread is also...the difficulties that are in our way.
Watchman Nee
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
When the fruit of your service is out of all proportion to the gifts you possess, THAT is Blessing!
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
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
With complete consecration comes perfect peace.
Watchman Nee
Long-lasting victory can never be separated from a long-lasting stand on the foundation of the cross.
Watchman Nee
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
Good is not always God's will, but God's will is always good.
Watchman Nee
Man's thought is always of the punishment that will come to him if he sins. But God's thought is always of the glory man will miss if he sins. God's purpose for redemption is glory, glory, glory.
Watchman Nee
Satan can only attack us from the outside in. He may work through the lust and sensations of the body or through the mind and emotion of the soul, for those two belong to the outward man.
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
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
When a believer has crossed into the domain of the spiritual he daily ought to maintain a combat attitude in his spirit, praying therewith for the overthrow of all the works of Satan done through the evil powers.
Watchman Nee
True spiritual life depends not on probing our feelings and thoughts from dawn to dusk but on 'looking off' to the Savior!
Watchman Nee
