More quotes by Oswald Chambers

Image
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
Image
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
Image
Fretting springs from a determination to get our own way.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We give credit to human wisdom when we should give credit to the divine guidance of God being exhibited through childlike people who were “foolish” enough to trust God’s wisdom and His supernatural equipment.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our ordinary abilities will never worship God unless they are transformed by the indwelling Son of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God expects no complaining on our part and offers no explanation on His part.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Intercession is about putting ourselves in other’s shoes or having sympathy with others. But intercessions are about having the mind of God and see things through His perspective
Oswald Chambers
Image
The soul is in danger when knowledge of doctrine outsteps intimate touch with Jesus.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Too often we treat prayer as the preparation for the work of the church. Do you not see? Prayer IS the work of the church.
Oswald Chambers
Image
See that you do not use the trick of prayer to cover up what you know you ought to do.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If we are devoted to the cause of humanity, we shall soon be crushed and broken-hearted, for we shall often meet with more ingratitude from men than we would from a dog but if our motive is love to God, no ingratitude can hinder us from serving our fellow men.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Readiness for God means that we are ready to do the tiniest little thing or the great big thing, it makes no difference
Oswald Chambers
Image
If a crisis has come to you on any front, surrender your will to Jesus absolutely and irrevocably.
Oswald Chambers
Image
I have to learn that the aim in life is God's, not mine. God is using me from His great personal standpoint, and all He asks of me is that I trust Him, and never say — Lord, this gives me such heart-ache.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The greatest need we have is not to do things, but to believe things.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never allow anything to divert you from your insight into Jesus Christ. It is the true test of whether you are spiritual or not. To be unspiritual means that other things have a growing fascination for you. Since mine eyes have looked on Jesus, I’ve lost sight of all beside, So enchained my spirit’s vision, Gazing on the Crucified.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God never gives strength for tomorrow, or for the next hour, but only for the strain of the minute.
Oswald Chambers
Image
No enthusiasm will ever stand the strain that Jesus Christ will put upon His worker, only one thing will, and that is a personal relationship to Himself which has gone through the mill of His spring-cleaning until there is only one purpose left--I am here for God to send me where He will.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When we pray in the Name of Jesus the answers are in accordance with His nature, and if we think our prayers are unanswered it is because we are not interpreting the answer along this line.
