More quotes by Oswald Chambers
If we rely on the Holy Spirit, we shall find that our prayers become more and more inarticulate and when they are inarticulate, reverence grows deeper and deeper.
Oswald Chambers
Never be diplomatic and careful about the treasure God gives. This is poverty triumphant.
Oswald Chambers
We must keep ourselves in touch, not with theories, but with people. We must never get out of touch with them if we are going to use the Word of God skillfully amongst them and if the Holy Spirit is to apply the Word of God through us.
Oswald Chambers
We can never be like lillies in the garden unless we have spent time as bulbs in the dark, totally ignored.
Oswald Chambers
If we understood what happens when we use the Word of God, we would use it oftener.
Oswald Chambers
As Christians we are not out for our own cause at all, we are out for the cause of God, which can never be our cause. We do not know what God is after, but we have to maintain our relationship with Him whatever happens.
Oswald Chambers
If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your heart.
Oswald Chambers
'I have chosen you!' Keep that note of greatness in your creed. It is not that you have got God but that He has got you.
Oswald Chambers
We have no right to judge where we should be put, or to have preconceived notions as to what God is fitting us for. God engineers everything wherever He puts us, our one great aim is to pour out a whole-hearted devotion to Him in that particular work. 'Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.'
Oswald Chambers
Worship is giving God the best that He has given you. Be careful what you do with the best you have, Whenever you get a blessing from God, give it back to Him as a love gift. Take time to meditate before God and offer the blessing back to Him in a deliberate act of worship.
Oswald Chambers

Oswald Chambers
If ever we are going to be made into wine, we will have to be crushed you cannot drink grapes. Grapes become wine only when they have been squeezed. I wonder what kind of finger and thumb God has been using to squeeze you, and you have been like a marble and escaped?
Oswald Chambers
If the Spirit of God detects anything in you that is wrong, He doesn't ask you to make it right He only asks you to accept the light of truth, and then He will make it right. A child of the light will confess sin instantly and stand completely open before God. But a child of the darkness will say, “Oh, I can explain that.
Oswald Chambers
We have to recognize that sin is a fact, not a defect sin is red-handed mutiny against God. Either God or sin must die in my life...If sin rules in me, God's life in me will be killed if God rules in me, sin in me will be killed.
Oswald Chambers
Abandonment to God is of more value than personal holiness!
Oswald Chambers
Make the determination to abide in Jesus wherever you are now or wherever you may be placed in the future.
Oswald Chambers
The life of faith is not a life of mounting up with wings, but a life of walking and not fainting.

We must build our faith not on fading lights but on the Light that never fails.
Oswald Chambers
