Get into the habit of dealing with God about everything. Unless in the first waking moment of the day you learn to fling the door wide back and let God in, you will work on a wrong level all day but swing the door wide open and pray to your Father in secret, and every public thing will be stamped with the presence of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
No man has ever gone through the crisis of deliberately making Jesus Lord and found Him to be a failure.
Oswald Chambers
Image
For understanding in spiritual matters, the golden rule is not intellect but obedience.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Intercessory prayer for one who is sinning prevails. God says so! The will of the man prayed for does not come into question at all, he is connected with God by prayer, and prayer on the basis of the Redemption sets the connection working and God gives life.

Oswald Chambers
Image
We are here for God's designs, not for our own
Oswald Chambers
Image
The golden rule for understanding spiritually is not intellect, but obedience. If a man wants scientific knowledge, intellectual curiosity is his guide but if he wants insight into what Jesus Christ teaches, he can only get it by obedience.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never water down or minimise the mighty Gospel of God by considering that people may be misled by certain statements. Present the Gospel in all its fullness and God will guard His own truth.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The measure of the worth of our public activity for God is the private profound communion we have with Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If we are abandoned to Jesus we have no ends of our own to serve.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Sin is not wrong doing, it is wrong BEING, deliberate and emphatic independence of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The purpose of prayer is to reveal the presence of God equally present, all the time, in every condition.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God did not direct His call to Isaiah— Isaiah overheard God saying, . . . who will go for Us? The call of God is not just for a select few but for everyone. Whether I hear God’s call or not depends on the condition of my ears, and exactly what I hear depends upon my spiritual attitude.
