More quotes by Oswald Chambers
Intercession means that we deliberately substitute God’s interests in others for our natural sympathy with them.
Oswald Chambers
A sentimentalist is one who delights to have high and devout emotions stirred whilst reading in an arm-chair, or in a prayer meeting, but he never translates his emotions into action. Consequently a sentimentalist is usually callous, self-centred and selfish, because the emotions he likes to have stirred do not cost him anything.
Oswald Chambers
When you have learned to walk in the light of the Lord, bitterness and contention are impossible.
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
Make the determination to abide in Jesus wherever you are now or wherever you may be placed in the future.
Oswald Chambers
Never become attached to anything that continues to hurt God. For you to be free of it, God must be allowed to hurt whatever it may be.
Oswald Chambers
Every God-given vision will become real if we will only have patience.
Oswald Chambers
The Bible is not a book that you can open and say, 'Now, Lord, put some magic into my soul that will open up the meaning of this book.' There is only one way really to understand the Word, and that is through wrestling with the circumstances and happenings of life.
Oswald Chambers
It is much easier to do something than to trust in God. That is why there are so few fellow workers with God and so many workers for Him. We would far rather work for God than believe in Him.
Oswald Chambers
When you fear God you fear nothing else!
Oswald Chambers
Adam was created to be the friend and companion of God, he was to have dominion over all the life in the air and earth and sea, but one thing he was not to have dominion over, and that was himself.
Oswald Chambers
Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led.
Oswald Chambers
When you pray, things remain the same, but you begin to be different. The same thing when a man falls in love, his circumstances and conditions remain the same, but he has a sovereign preference in his heart for another person which transfigures everything!
Oswald Chambers
Never allow anything that divides or destroys the oneness of your life with Christ to remain in your life without facing it.
Oswald Chambers
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
If we are to be ready for Jesus Christ, we have to stop being religious (that is, using religion as a higher kind of culture) and be spiritually real.
Oswald Chambers
Never say you will pray about a thing pray about it.
Oswald Chambers
Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led - but it does mean loving and knowing the One who is leading. It is literally a life of FAITH, not of understanding and reason- - a life of knowing Him who calls us to go.
Oswald Chambers
The root of all sin is the suspicion that God is not good.
Oswald Chambers
People say that it is so hard to bring Jesus Christ and present him before the lives of men today. Of course it is. It is so hard that it is impossible except by the power of the indwelling Holy Ghost.
