"If a man's word is from the spirit, we will touch the spirit immediately. If a man's word is from the mind, we will only touch the mind. If spiritual things remain purely in the mind, they will be nothing but theories, and they will not be of any spiritual worth. If a man's spiritual life depends only on mental knowledge, he has nothing but vanity; he does not have any spiritual reality."
-Watchman Nee

"... The scope of our ministry is dictated by the amount of discipline we have received from the Holy Spirit. If we have not learned much, we will only be able to speak to the brothers and sisters in a frivolous way. Our words will not hit home; they will not be sharp and pointed enough to produce any result. If we have learned the lesson ourselves, we will know if others have passed the test. They will not be able to cheat us. In preaching the gospel we will know whether others are saved; they will not be able to cheat us in the matter of salvation. But the same can be said of deeper spiritual experiences. Everything depends on the amount of lessons and experiences we have learned. Those who learn more will know others more. They will know what is wrong with a brother as soon as they contact him..." -Nee
