 God's means of delivering us from sin is not by making us stronger and stronger, but by making us weaker and weaker. Author: Watchman Nee |
| If we wish to live out the life of the body of Christ we must cover our own head; that is to say, we must not have our personal opinion, egoistic will or selfish thought. We can only obey the Lord and let Him be the Head. Author: Watchman Nee |
| Spiritual advancement is measured by faithful obedience. Author: Watchman Nee |
| The obedience of the Christian to God ought to be unconditional. Author: Watchman Nee |
| The right attitude is this: that I have my own will, yet I will the will of God. Author: Watchman Nee |

| Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world." You have an anointing from the Holy One: live by it! Give yourself to God; live for him wholly and utterly; see to it that, where you personally are concerned, the things of this world are scored off Satan's books and transferred to God's account. Author: Watchman Nee |
| On at least four separate occasions and recorded in the four Gospels the Lord Jesus called His disciples to deny their soul life, deliver it to death, and then to follow Him. Author: Watchman Nee |
| That strong self-assertive will of mine must go to the Cross, and I must give myself over wholly to the Lord. We cannot expect a tailor to make us a coat if we do not give him any cloth, nor a builder to build us a house if we let him have no building material; and in just the same way we cannot expect the Lord to live out His life in us if we do not give Him our lives in which to live. Without reservations, without controversy, we must give ourselves to Him to do as He pleases with us. Author: Watchman Nee |
| If I keep something it is because God has spoken to my heart; if I part with it it is for the same reason. I hold myself in the will of God and am not afraid to give if God asks me to give. I keep nothing because I love it, but let it go without regret when the call comes to leave it behind. That is what it means to be detached, free, separated to God. Author: Watchman Nee |
| True spiritual life depends not on probing our feelings and thoughts from dawn to dusk but on "looking off" to the Savior! Author: Watchman Nee |
| What he needs is not increased spiritual teaching but an obedient heart which is willing to yield his life to the Holy Spirit and go the way of the cross according to the Spirit's command. Increased spiritual teaching will only strengthen his carnality and serve to deceive him into conceiving himself as spiritual. Author: Watchman Nee |
