"The Blood deals with what we have done, whereas the Cross deals with what we are.  The Blood disposes of our sins, while the Cross strikes at the root of our capacity for sin."

Watchman Nee
Mosaic Holy Bible page 88

"Fearing God means wanting God, desiring single-heartedly to keep His will, being fully submissive to Him, wanting nothing of ourselves, walking not according to our will, seeing not ourselves, and seeing God's greatness alone."

The Collected Works of Watchman Nee, Vol 9 page 349

"The woman became a debtor because of the poverty of her husband. But she had a pot of oil. This pot of oil was the basic ingredient. It was this pot of oil that allowed her to pay her debt and that supplied her daily needs. She needed empty vessels. Elisha ordered her to prepare empty vessels, and not a few. Through Adam we have become poor. But praise the Lord, we have the Holy Spirit. What is lacking are empty spots for the Spirit to fill. The fact is not that we cannot be filled, but that we do not have the empty spots for the Holy Spirit to work into. The Holy Spirit will only fill the empty spots. For spiritual progress we must be continually empty to be continually filled. It is not to be emptied once and then remain full forever. Time after time we need further emptying and further filling...If there is unlimited emptiness, there will be unlimited filling. We should continually empty ourselves, instead of emptying ourselves just once. We should continually empty ourselves so that we can be continually filled. We are responsible for the emptying, and the Holy Spirit is responsible for the filling."

"If the journey which many Christians take is not contrary to the wind, I doubt whether such a journey is ordained by the Lord.  We should take the journey that the Lord has ordained.  The Lord pays attention to every step we take.  He knows how great out temptations are and how difficult our circumstances are.  He will not let us endure beyond the fourth watch.  When the night is far advanced, He comes to us.  As soon as the Lord comes, everything is fine.  Thank and praise the Lord, the wind may be contrary, but it will not remain contrary forever.  Though rowing is a toil, we will not need to row forever."

Collected Works of Watchman Nee, Vol 10 page 423-33

"Your Leader will lead you to walk an untrodden way, to go down a path you never dreamed of.  He is afraid of nothing, and He wishes you to be afraid of nothing also.  He is with you.  In desperate situations it is His joy to see His children grasping His hands."
