“There is nothing stereotyped about God's dealings with His children. Therefore, we must not by our prejudices and preconceptions make watertight compartments for the working out His Spirit, either in our own lives or in the lives of others. We must leave God free to work as He wills and to leave what evidence He pleases of the work He does.”
Watchman Nee“Teach us to pray that we may cause The enemy to flee That we his evil power may bind His prisoners to free.”
Watchman Nee“God’s Word tells us that God has spoken of old in many portions and in many ways through His servants concerning His heart’s desire and that He loves us. But man did not understand. Therefore, God had to personally come to this world and become a man. This man is Jesus, the Christ, whom we know.”
Watchman Nee“How many of us dare not use our time or money or talents as we would, because we realise they are the Lord's, not ours?”
Watchman Nee“[Jesus] said, “Those who are strong have no need of a physician, but those who are ill.…For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners” (Matt. 9:10-13). Jesus opened up God’s heart to men.”
Watchman Nee, God is Willing“The author nicely encapsulates Paul's overarching intent in his letter to Corinth, to impress upon those in the church infatuated with the gifts of the Spirit a greater awestruck awareness of His presence in and among them. The author then illustrates thusly: if we have but a few coins, we may carry them lightly with little concern as to whether we lose them. But if we are aware that we carry a great sum, we will carry it with great care. How much more the Treasure of the Holy Spirit within the earthen vessel of our bodies?”

Watchman Nee, The Normal Christian Life“We think in terms of apostolic journeys. God dares to put His greatest ambassadors in chains.”
Watchman Nee, The Normal Christian Life“I must first have the sense of God's possession of me before I can have the sense of His presence with me.”
Watchman Nee, The Normal Christian Life“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, The Normal Christian Life“The idea of waste only comes into our Christianity when we underestimate the worth of our Lord.”
