How easily we make things as way, truth, and life. Or, we call hot atmosphere as life, we label clear thought as life.
WATCHMAN NEE -
We must not pay attention just to reading and studying; rather, we should ask if we are open before the Lord. If we do not have an unveiled face, the glory of the Lord will not shine on us. If our heart is not open to God, God cannot give us any light.
WATCHMAN NEE -
Outside Christ, I am empty; in Christ, I am full.
WATCHMAN NEE -
The life of faith is not only totally different from, but also diametrically opposite to, a life of feeling.
WATCHMAN NEE -
Christians ought to eliminate their folly. They ought to adopt God’s view of the absolute impossibility for their natural walk to please Him. They must dare to allow the Holy Spirit to point out to them every corruption of the soul life.
WATCHMAN NEE -
There is a line drawn by God, a boundary where by virtue of his own very presence Satan’s writ does not run. Let God but occupy all the space himself, and what room is left for the evil one?
WATCHMAN NEE -

WATCHMAN NEE -
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 -

WATCHMAN NEE -
Everyone could smell it. Whenever you meet someone who has really suffered; been limited, gone through things for the Lord, willing to be imprisoned by the Lord.
WATCHMAN NEE -
We think of the Christian life as a ‘changed life’ but it is not that. What God offers us is an ‘exchanged life,’ a ‘substituted life,’ and Christ is our Substitute within.
WATCHMAN NEE -
Good is not always God’s will, but God’s will is always good.
WATCHMAN NEE -
It is important to receive God’s arrangement in the circumstances. This arrangement is the discipline of the Holy Spirit. To escape God’s arrangement just one time is to lose an opportunity to have our capacity enlarged. A believer can never be the same after passing through suffering.
WATCHMAN NEE -
Formerly I regarded it miserable business to be a Christian, but now I think differently. Once I thought certain things delightful, now I think them vile. Once I thought other things utterly worthless, now I think them most precious. That is a change of mind, and that is repentance.
