An affection which is not inspired by the Lord will soon be transformed into lust. Samson is not alone in the history of man in failing in this regard. Delilah is still cutting the hair of man today!
Watchman Nee
Image
The Spirit is both a builder and a dweller. He cannot dwell where he has not built He builds to dwell and dwells in only what he has built.
Watchman Nee
Image
The right attitude is this: that I have my own will, yet I will the will of God.
Watchman Nee
Image
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 Nee
Image
An unpeaceful mind cannot operate normally.
Watchman Nee
Image
Eternal life means more than mere future blessing to be enjoyed by believers it is equally a kind of spiritual ability.
Watchman Nee
Image
If Christ lives in us, we will rejoice in everything, and we will thank and praise the Lord. We will say, 'Hallelujah! Praise the Lord' forever.
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.
