Why do so many Christians pray such tiny prayers when their God is so big?

Watchman Nee (Church Leader, 1903 – 1972)

Not until we take the place of a servant can He take His place as Lord.

Watchman Nee (Church Leader, 1903 – 1972)

A Christian life is an unending engagement on the battlefield.

Watchman Nee (Church Leader, 1903 – 1972)

The breaking of the alabaster box and the anointing of the Lord filled the house with the odor, with the sweetest odor. 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, 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 Nee (Church Leader, 1903 – 1972)

There is nothing more tragic than to come to the end of life and know we have been on the wrong course.

Watchman Nee (Church Leader, 1903 – 1972)

It does not matter what your personal deficiency, or whether it be a hundred and one different things, God has always one sufficient answer, His Son Jesus Christ, and he is the answer to every need.

Watchman Nee (Church Leader, 1903 – 1972)

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. Formerly I regarded it miserable business to be a Christian, but now I think differently. Once I thought certain things delightful, now I think them vile. Once I thought other things utterly worthless, now I think them most precious. That is a change of mind, and that is repentance.

Watchman Nee (Church Leader, 1903 – 1972)

The ‘flesh’ is too bad to be cleansed; it must be crucified.

Watchman Nee (Church Leader, 1903 – 1972)

God is not seeking a display of my Christ-likeness , but a manifestation of His Christ.

Watchman Nee (Church Leader, 1903 -1972)

Negligence in prayer withers the inner man. Nothing can be a substitute for it, not even Christian work. Many are so preoccupied with work that they allow little time for prayer. Hence they cannot cast out demons. Prayer enables us first inwardly to overcome the enemy and then outwardly to deal with him.
