"I must live in His presence, commune with Him continuously and seek to know His mind. Unless I have seen something there with God, I have nothing to say here to men. May the Lord be merciful to us that we may forever live before God and fear Him."

- Watchman Nee, Spiritual Authority
On Starving Flesh and Feeding Spirit

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied."
Matthew 5:6

"I am the bread of Life; whoever comes to Me will never hunger nor thirst."
John 6:35

"My food is to do the will of Him who sent me and to accomplish His work."
John 4:34

"If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, 'Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water'."
John 7:38

"Abstain from the passions of the flesh which wage war against the soul."
1 Peter 2:11

"Put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires."
Romans 13:14

"Unless a grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies it remains alone; but if it dies it bears much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life."
John 12:24-25

"The one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap Eternal Life."
Galatians 6:7-8

"Walk by the Spirit and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do."
Galatians 5:16-17


"Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to Me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. Incline your ear, and come to Me; hear, that you may LIVE..." (Isaiah 55)
