More quotes by Oswald Chambers

Image
Complete weakness and dependence will always be the occasion for the Spirit of God to manifest His power.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Watch your motive before God have no other motive in prayer than to know Him.
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
The truth is we have nothing to fear and nothing to overcome because He is all in all and we are more than conquerors through Him.
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
The call of God is to preach the gospel--namely, the reality of redemption in our Lord Jesus Christ. The one passion of Paul's life was to proclaim the gospel of God. He welcomed heartbreak, disillusionment , and tribulation for only one reason--these things kept him unmovable in his devotion to the gospel of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never look for right in the other man, but never cease to be right yourself. We always look for justice in this world, but there is no such thing as justice. Jesus says — Never look for justice, but never cease to give it.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Wherever there is any element of pride or of conceit, Jesus cannot expound a thing. He will take us through the disappointment of a wounded pride of intellect, through disappointment of heart. He will reveal inordinate affections-thin gs over which we never thought He would have to get us alone.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Christianity is not consistency to conscience or to convictions Christianity is being true to Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Not often, but every once in a while, God brings us to a major turning point — a great crossroads in our life.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The whole meaning of prayer is that we may know God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Prayer is the answer to every problem there is.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Be rightly related to God, find your joy there, and out of you will flow rivers of living water.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God is not saving the world it is done. Our business is to get men and women to realize it.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
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
Never focus your eyes on the obstacle or the difficulty. The obstacle will be a matter of total indifference to the river that will flow steadily through you if you will simply remember to stay focused on the Source.
Oswald Chambers
Image
I cannot give up my will - I must exercise it, putting it into action.
Oswald Chambers
Image
What hinders me from hearing is that I am taken up with other things. It is not that I will not hear God, but I am not devoted in the right place. I am devoted to things, to service, to convictions, and God may say what He likes but I do not hear Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God can never make us wine if we object to the fingers He uses to crush us with.
