More quotes by Oswald Chambers
Measure your growth in grace by your sensitiveness to sin.
Oswald Chambers
A life of intimacy with God is characterized by joy.
Oswald Chambers
God will turn the might have been into a wonderful culture for the future.
Oswald Chambers
God gives us the vision, then He takes us down to the valley to batter us into the shape of the vision, and it is in the valley that so many of us faint and give way. Every vision will be made real if we will have patience. Think of the enormous leisure of God! He is never in a hurry.
Oswald Chambers
It must be God first, God second, and God third
Oswald Chambers
The dearest friend on earth is a mere shadow compared with Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
The Bible talks plentifully about joy, but it nowhere talks about a 'happy Christian.' Happiness depends on what happens joy does not. Remember, Jesus Christ had joy, and He prayed 'that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.'
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
If we were never depressed we would not be alive - only material things don't suffer depression. If human beings were not capable of depression, we would have no capacity for happiness and exaltation. Whenever you examine yourself, take into your capacity for depression.
Oswald Chambers
God is not saving the world it is done. Our business is to get men and women to realize it.
Oswald Chambers
The whole meaning of prayer is that we may know God.
Oswald Chambers
It is misleading to imagine that we are developed in spite of our circumstances, for we are developed because of them. It is mastery in circumstances that is needed, not mastery over them.
Oswald Chambers
Whenever God touches sin it is independence that is touched, an that awakens resentment in the human heart. Independence must be blasted clean out, there must be no such thing left, only freedom which is very different. Freedom is the ability not to insist on my rights, but to see that God gets his
Oswald Chambers
Trust God, and do the next thing.
Oswald Chambers
It is impossible to live the life of a disciple without definite times of secret prayer. You will find that the place to enter in is in your business, as you walk along the streets, in the ordinary ways of life, when no one dreams you are praying, and the reward comes openly, a revival here, a blessing there.
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
The prayer of the feeblest saint who lives in the Spirit and keeps right with God is a terror to Satan. The very powers of darkness are paralyzed by prayer no spiritualistic seance can succeed in the presence of a humble praying saint. No wonder Satan tries to keep our minds fussy in active work till we cannot think in prayer.
Oswald Chambers
You can never argue anyone into the Kingdom of Heaven, you cannot argue anyone anywhere. The only result of arguing is to prove to your own mind that you are right and the other fellow wrong. You cannot argue for truth but immediately Incarnate Truth is presented, a want awakens in the soul which only God can meet.
Oswald Chambers
All our fret and worry is caused by calculating without God.
Oswald Chambers
There is a call to spiritual perseverance. A call not to hang on and do nothing, but to work deliberately, knowing with certainty that God will never be defeated.
Oswald Chambers
