Whatever the mind sets itself on is what the man walks after.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee To keep our hand on the plow while wiping away our tears — THAT is Christianity!
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee Nowadays Christians appear to treat prayer as a means to accomplish their aims and ideas. If they possessed just a little deeper understanding, they would recognize that prayer is but man uttering to God what is God’s will.
Watchman NeeWatchman 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 NeeWatchman Nee Just being satisfied with Him and nothing else, immediately you scent the fragrance. There is a savor of the Lord. Something has been crushed, something has been broken, and there is a resulting odor of sweetness.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee Repentance means a change of mind. Formerly, I thought sin as a pleasant thing, but now I have changed my mind about it. Formerly, I thought the world an attractive place, but now I know better.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee A born-again person ought to possess unspeakable peace in the spirit.
Watchman NeeWatchman 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 NeeWatchman Nee They must exercise faith in believing God’s estimation of their natural life and must wait patiently for the Holy Spirit to reveal in them what the Bible says of them. Only in this manner will they be led in the way of deliverance.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee I have been defeated; in Christ, I am already victorious. How meaningful are the words, “in Christ.”
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee The Christian life from start to finish is based upon this principle of utter dependence upon the Lord Jesus.
Watchman NeeWatchman 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 NeeWatchman Nee At times it seems we require more grace to lose our wealth than to lose our life!
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee Often Satan injects pride into the believer’s spirit, evoking in him an attitude of self-importance and of self-conceit. He causes him to esteem himself a very outstanding person, one who is indispensable in God’s work. Such a spirit constitutes one of the major reasons for the fall of believers.
Watchman NeeWatchman Nee 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 NeeWatchman Nee God has supplied all my needs and has not failed me once.
