"God's means of delivering us from sin is not by making us stronger and stronger, but by making us weaker and weaker."
"When a Christian does not repel the thoughts which originate with evil spirits he affords them a base for working."
"Soulish Christians generally bend to certain directions. Most of them lean either towards emotion or towards reason."


Watchman Nee

Amen

Amen

I guess this means leaning towards the emotions and reasoning capabilities of ones soul, rather than the faith that is of the spirit?

The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to
stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.

"He who is able to accept everything gladly from the Lord - including darkness, dryness, flatness - and completely disregard self is he who lives for Him."
"Do not be taken in or flattered by your own success or fame. Take not only as to whether or not the old creation, including everything which comes by birth, has gone through the cross."

"Man may think human intellect and reasoning are almighty, that the brain is able to comprehend all truths of the world; but the verdict of God's Word is, "vanity of vanities."
