More quotes by Oswald Chambers

Image
Worship and intercession must go together, the one is impossible without the other. Intercession means that we rouse ourselves up to get the mind of Christ about the one for whom we pray.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never water down the Word of God, but preach it in its undiluted sternness. There must be unflinching faithfulness to the Word of God, but when you come to personal dealings with others, remember who you are- you are not some special being created in heaven, but a sinner saved by grace.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God never fits His word to suit me He fits me to suit His word.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Am I always in contact with Reality, or do I only pray when things have gone wrong, when there is a disturbance in the moments of my life?
Oswald Chambers
Image
The whole meaning of prayer is that we may know God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We think of prayer as a preparation for work, or a calm after having done work, whereas prayer is the essential work.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The best measure of a spiritual life is not its ecstasies but its obedience.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The love of God is not created- it is His nature.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If we are going to live as disciples of Jesus, we have to remember that all noble things are difficult.
Oswald Chambers
Image
As we go forth into the coming year, let it not be in the haste of impetuous, forgetful delight, nor with the quickness of impulsive thoughtlessness . But let us go out with the patient power of knowing that the God of Israel will go before us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is no condition of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus. We have to learn to abide in Him wherever we are placed.
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 battle is lost or won in the secret places of the will before God, never first in the external world.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When we are consciously aware of being used as broken bread and poured out wine, we have yet another level to reach - a level where all awareness of ourselves and what God is doing through us is completely eliminated. A saint is never consciously a saint - a saint is consciously dependent on God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never allow the thought, 'I am of no use where I am.' You are certainly of no use where you're not.
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
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
It is possible to know all about doctrine and yet not know Jesus. The soul is in danger when knowledge of doctrine outsteps intimate touch with Jesus. ....Have I a personal history with Jesus Christ? The one sign of discipleship is intimate connection with Him, a knowledge of Jesus Christ nothing can shake.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our Lord never lays down the conditions of discipleship as the conditions of salvation.
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.
