Watchman Nee: articles |
Jesus is the universal solution. If you have a behaviour that you can't stop, or know someone who's addicted in some way, Jesus says in John 4:16 'I am the Way, and the Truth and the Life'. But we need to find, for every single life, the key to the way into that life. And it's not the same key for every person!
You may never know that JESUS is all you need, until JESUS is all you have.
Faith is like radar that sees through the fog -- the reality of things at a distance that the human eye cannot see.
Memories are the key not to the past, but to the future.
Discernment is God's call to intercession, never to faultfinding.
It is not my ability, but my response to God's ability, that counts.
Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible.
A man is powerful on his knees.
The Heavenly Man is the intensely dramatic story of how God took a young, half-starved boy from a poor village in Henan Province and used him mightily to preach the gospel despite horrific opposition.
Brother Yun is one of China's house church leaders, a man who despite his relative youth has suffered prolonged torture and imprisionment for his faith. Instead of focusing on the many miracles or experiences of suffering, however, Yun prefers to emphasize the character and beauty of Jesus.
Excerpt from the written defense of Mehdi Dibaj delivered to the Sari Court of Justice:
They tell me, "Return!" But to whom can I return
from the arms of my God? Is it right to accept what people are saying
instead of obeying the Word of God? It is now 45 years that I am walking
with the God of miracles, and His kindness upon me is like a shadow and I
owe Him much for His fatherly love and concern.
The love of Jesus has filled all my being and I feel the warmth of His
love in every part of my body. God, who is my glory and honor and
protector, has put his seal of approval upon me through His unsparing
blessings and miracles.

It would be easy to list our testimonies of victory and create the impression that we have come to live a life of protected ease, blessing and fruitfulness. But our life of faith is continually and increasingly put to the test, not only revealing our flaws, but also His mercies, which are new every morning. We die daily, and daily we are raised again after having lost all reliance on ourselves. We are only in the beginning stages of learning to trust God, who raises the dead.
By Augustine
"What , then, is the God I worship? He can be none but the Lord God himself, for who but the Lord is God? What other refuge can there be, except our God? You, my God, are supreme, utmost in goodness, mightiest and the all-powerful, most merciful and most just...you are my God, my Life, my holy Delight, but is this enough to say of you? Can any man say enough when he speaks of you?"

By Watchman Nee
(...)I once arrived in America in the home of a saved couple who requested me to pray for them. I inquired the case of their trouble. `Oh, Mr. Nee, we have been in a bad way lately', they confessed. `We are so easily irritated by the children, and during the past few weeks we have both lost our tempers several times a day. We are really dishonoring the Lord. Will you ask Him to give us patience?' `That is the one thing I cannot do', I said. `What do you mean?' they asked. `I mean that one thing is certain', I answered, `and that is that God is not going to answer your prayer.' At that they said in amazement, `Do you mean to tell us we have gone so far that God is not willing to hear us when we ask Him to make us patient?' `No, I do not mean quite that, but I would like to ask you if you have ever prayed in this respect. You have. But did God answer? No! Do you know why? Because you have no need of patience.' Then the eyes of the wife blazed up. She said, `What do you mean? We do not need patience, and yet we get irritated the whole day long! What do you mean?' `It is not patience you have need of', I answered, `it is Christ.'
