Image
The devil abhors light and truth because these remove the ground of his working.
Watchman Nee
Image
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.
Watchman Nee
Image
The greatest negative in the universe is the Cross, for with it God wiped out everything that was not of Himself: the greatest positive in the universe is the resurrection, for through it God brought into being all.
Watchman Nee
Image
Take this as the secret of Christ's life in you: His Spirit dwells in your innermost spirit. Meditate on it, believe in it, and remember it until this glorious truth produces within you a holy fear and wonderment that the Holy Spirit indeed abides in you.
Watchman Nee
Image
God asks for men who are totally broken and who will follow Him even to death to work for Him.
Watchman Nee
Image
To walk after the spirit a believer must inhibit his mind from revolving endlessly. If it turns too long around one topic, worries or grieves too much over matters, and ponders too intensively to know God's will, it may become unbearable and hamper its normal operation. The mind needs to be kept in a steady and secure state.
Watchman Nee
Image
Negligence in prayer withers the inner man. Nothing can be a substitute for it, not even Christian work. Many are so preoccupied with work that they allow little time for prayer. Hence they cannot cast out demons. Prayer enables us first inwardly to overcome the enemy and then outwardly to deal with him.
Watchman Nee
Image
Many confuse understanding with believing.
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
One gains by losing self for others and not by hoarding for oneself.
Watchman Nee
Image
The cross grants us position, the Holy Spirit gives us experience.
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
There is nothing more tragic than to come to the end of life and know we have been on the wrong course.
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
Spiritual advancement is measured by faithful obedience.
Watchman Nee
Image
Actually, only God can satisfy a Christian's heart man cannot.
Watchman Nee
Image
God is not seeking a display of my Christ-likeness , but a manifestation of His Christ.
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
Why do so many Christians pray such tiny prayers when their God is so big?
Watchman Nee
Image
The note of hallelujah must never be in short supply in the spirit of the believer.
