More quotes by Watchman Nee

Image
The cross grants us position, the Holy Spirit gives us experience.
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
Do we not realize that the basic condition for a spiritual walk is to fear our self and its wisdom and to rely absolutely upon the Spirit?
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
Spiritual advancement is measured by faithful obedience.
Watchman Nee
Image
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
Image
Do not be taken in or flattered by your own success or fame. Take not only as to whether or not the old creation, including everything which comes by birth, has gone through the cross.
Watchman Nee
Image
We may infer from any defeat of ours that it is due either to lack of faith or failure to obey. No other reason can suffice.
Watchman Nee
Image
All knowledge is the outgrowth of obedience everything else is just information.
Watchman Nee
Image
The particular sin of omission which gives ground to the evil spirits is the believer’s passivity.
Watchman Nee
Image
Long-lasting victory can never be separated from a long-lasting stand on the foundation of the cross.
Watchman Nee
Image
I want nothing for myself I want everything for the Lord.
Watchman Nee
Image
To bear the cross means that you refrain from doing what you have the power to do. You are qualified to fulfill your desire, yet you refrain from doing so. A person like this is the strongest person. The strongest person is not the one who is able to do something, but the one who is able not to do what he has the power to do.
Watchman Nee
Image
To keep our hand on the plow while wiping away our tears -- THAT is Christianity!
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
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
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
Image
The clerical system of church management is exceedingly popular, but the whole thought is foreign to Scripture.
Watchman Nee
Image
All satanic works are performed from the outside inward all divine works from the inside outward.
Watchman Nee
Image
All we have-ourselves-to Him, and if that be all, that is enough.
Watchman Nee
