More quotes by Oswald Chambers
Prayer is the way the life of God is nourished.
Oswald Chambers
The life of faith is not a life of mounting up with wings, but a life of walking and not fainting.
Oswald Chambers
Spend plenty of time with God let other things go, but don't neglect Him. We are not here to do work for God, we are here to be workers with Him, those through whom He can do His work.
Oswald Chambers
It is possible to know all about doctrine and yet not know Jesus. The soul is in danger when knowledge of doctrine outsteps intimate touch with Jesus. ....Have I a personal history with Jesus Christ? The one sign of discipleship is intimate connection with Him, a knowledge of Jesus Christ nothing can shake.
Oswald Chambers
For understanding in spiritual matters, the golden rule is not intellect but obedience.
Oswald Chambers
Complete weakness and dependence will always be the occasion for the Spirit of God to manifest His power.
Oswald Chambers
We have to take the first step as though there were no God. It is no use to wait for God to help us, He will not: but immediately we arise we find He is there.
Oswald Chambers
The strain of life is what builds our strength. If there is no strain, there will be no strength.
Oswald Chambers
A man ceases to be an honest doubter the moment he refuses one way of getting at the truth because he does not like that way.
Oswald Chambers
We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does, and that God will not do what we can do.
Oswald Chambers
God does not give us overcoming life He gives us life as we overcome.
Oswald Chambers
The only right a Christian has is the right to give up his rights.
Oswald Chambers
Seeing is never believing: we interpret what we see in the light of what we believe. Faith is confidence in God before you see God emerging, therefore the nature of faith is that it must be tried.
Oswald Chambers
Before God can use a man greatly he must wound him deeply.
Oswald Chambers
Humble yourself--it is a humbling experience to knock at God's door--you have to knock with the crucified thief. To him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
Oswald Chambers
Beware of bartering the Word of God for a more suitable conception of your own.
Oswald Chambers
We look for visions of heaven and we never dream that all the time God is in the commonplace things and people around us.
Oswald Chambers
Many of us refuse to grow where we are put consequently, we take root nowhere.
Oswald Chambers
What hinders me from hearing is that I am taken up with other things. It is not that I will not hear God, but I am not devoted in the right place. I am devoted to things, to service, to convictions, and God may say what He likes but I do not hear Him.
Oswald Chambers
Trust God, and do the next thing.
Oswald Chambers
