If we just had more revelation of what we already have, there would be far less prayers and far more praise.
Watchman NeeVictory is the normal experience of a Christian; defeat should be the abnormal experience.
Watchman NeeWhen the fruit of your service is out of all proportion to the gifts you possess, THAT is Blessing!
Watchman NeeMere mental assimilation of these truths cannot withstand temptation, however. The revelation of God is positively essential. The Spirit of God must reveal how we are in Christ and how we are united with Him in one.
Watchman NeeOur prayers lay the track down which Gods power can come. Like a mighty locomotive, his power is irresistible, but it cannot reach us without rails.
Watchman NeeNegligence 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.
