Quote

Do not grow overconfident following a few victories. Should you not rely upon the Holy Spirit you will soon be thrown once more into a distressing experience. With holy diligence you must cultivate an attitude of dependency.

More quotes by Watchman Nee

Image
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
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
Our old history ends with the Cross our new history begins with the resurrection.
Watchman Nee
Image
Oh, Lord, you have indeed been gracious to me.
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
Actually, only God can satisfy a Christian's heart man cannot.
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
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
Teach us to pray that we may cause The enemy to flee, That we his evil power may bind, His prisoners to free.
Watchman Nee
Image
True revelation of the fact of the Spirit's indwelling will revolutionize the life of any Christian.
Watchman Nee
Image
The clerical system of church management is exceedingly popular, but the whole thought is foreign to Scripture.
Watchman Nee
Image
Irrespective of how we physiologically are made, even possessing special weaknesses, we can overcome our sins through the Lord.
Watchman Nee
Image
If whatever men know comes through their brain without the Holy Spirit regenerating their spirit, then their knowledge will help them not one whit. If their belief rests in man's wisdom and not in God's power, they are merely excited in their soul.
Watchman Nee
Image
Just as the right relationship with Christ generates a Christian, so the proper relationship with the Holy Spirit breeds a spiritual man.
Watchman Nee
Image
To secure one's freedom the Christian must experience God's light which is God's truth.
Watchman Nee
Image
The right attitude is this: that I have my own will, yet I will the will of God.
Watchman Nee
Image
Every true work is not done to the poor. Every true work is done to Me.
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
The note of hallelujah must never be in short supply in the spirit of the believer.
Watchman Nee
Image
The Christian faith begins not with a big DO but with a big DONE.
