Image
It's one thing to go through a crisis grandly, yet quite another to go through every day glorifying God when there is no witness, no limelight, and no one paying even the remotest attention to us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Prayer is not a preparation for work, it IS work. Prayer is not a preparation for the battle, it IS the battle. Prayer is two-fold: definite asking and definite waiting to receive.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God works this unspeakable mystery of entire sanctification in your life and mine. People try to seek the experience of entire sanctification in ways other than God's way but the wonderful Spirit of God will remove confusion and enable us to see that the only means to obtain the experience of entire sanctification by faith is the grace of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is a great thing to see physical courage, and greater still to see moral courage, but the greatest to see of all is spiritual courage oh, to see a person who will stand true to the integrity of Jesus Christ no matter what he or she goes through!
Oswald Chambers
Image
Today Jesus Christ is being dispatched as the Figurehead of a Religion, a mere example. He is that, but he is infinitely more He is salvation itself, He is the Gospel of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The institutions of Churchianity are not Christianity. An institution is a good thing if it is second immediately an institution recognizes itself it becomes the dominating factor.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you cannot understand at the time.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Beware of any work for God that causes or allows you to avoid concentrating on Him. A great number of Christian workers worship their work. The only concern of Christian workers should be their concentration on God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Watch where Jesus went. The one dominant note in His life was to do His Father's will. His was not the way of wisdom or of success, but the way of faithfulness.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The battle of prayer is against two things in the earthlies: wandering thoughts and lack of intimacy with God's character as revealed in His word. Neither can be cured at once, but they can be cured by discipline.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our true character comes out in the way we pray.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Every time we pray our horizon is altered, our attitude to things is altered, not sometimes but every time, and the amazing thing is that we don't pray more.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When we no longer seek God for His blessings, we have time to seek Him for Himself.
Oswald Chambers
Image
So long as there is a human being who does not know Jesus Christ, I am his debtor to serve him until he does.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are not sent to do battle for God, but to be used by God in His battles.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Jesus Christ demands the same unrestrained, adventurous spirit in those who have placed their trust in Him that the natural man exhibits. If a person is ever going to do anything worthwhile, there will be times when he must risk everything by his leap in the dark.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The characteristic of the new birth is that I yield myself so completely to God that Christ is formed in me.
Oswald Chambers
Image
One man or woman called of God is worth a hundred who have elected to work for God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We have all had times...when we have seen things from God's standpoint and have wanted to stay there but God will never allow us to stay there. ...[I]t is in the valley where we live for the glory of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Paul welcomed hearbreak, disillusionment and tribulation for only one reason - - these things kept him immovable in his devotion to the gospel of God.
